Do you think Kelis is all that talented?

I do. I think she is very unique and I kinda wonder why she isn't a bigger artist.

I don't think she's all that talented to keep it real with you. I like her voice for certain songs, but her vocals are really limited imo. I really do find her veryveryveryvery attractive though....but her being "talented"...naw.... biggrin

I've always loved her voice and really dug her albums especially Kaleidoscope and Fleshtone, maybe she's a little too out there for mass appeal hmmm.

Well alot of what Gaga does now with her image and music ... Kelis had already been doing... Her voice is definitly unqiue while I think it is limited... I do think she is underrated. She at least tries to be creative and explores alot artistically. She also is attractive..

I agree, it's kind of strange that Kelis never really clicked with North American fans, while Gaga has confuse. I love that Kelis takes so many chances, she can go from straight r and b to electronica to rock without blinking an eye, and her music videos are really creative and unique headbang .

cool I think her music videos are very entertaining more entertaining than Gagas or Beyonces. I think Get Along With You was much creative and original then anything they have ever done.

Kelis is hugely underrated! Fleshtones was one of the best albums of 2010, I really wish it would have clicked better in the US market.

Yes I do! I think she is unique, bold, daring and so underrated. I like the tone of her voice a lot. She has incredible style and has a kick ass body! Love her!

Also the one who made Get Along With You

As a writer, I think she is creative. As a singer, she is so-so. I'm not one who believes an artist has to be a great singer to be interesting, creative or entertaining. I like Kelis. Sometimes.

I like her, but I went to see her "live" this year and it was terrible, the sound was shit and her voice sounded like she had been up all night the night before.

I do think Kelis is talented. I like her music and think she is very underrated. Her second LP - "Wonderland" I believe is the title - is one of the most slept on albums ever. It's very good but for some reason it never made it's way to US audiences.

Her US label at the time, Virgin, didn't like the album so they didn't release it in the states. That has been a running theme throughout Kelis' career; her labels (and there have been a few) simply not releasing stuff in America.

I don't think she has the strongest voice, but she still has cuts that I like.

Aww Shit nod headbang

She's daring and takes risks.

I agree, and I'm jealous that you met her smile

If anything, I think her music career has been misdirected a lot. Trying to force her in to a more conventional-sexy popstar mold is silly. She is best when she's doing something a little more 'out there'

If you will, so will I
