July 7, 200718 yr Author 5th: Kelis: 108 Points. Voted for by Simon, Skizzo, Blade 699, Davidobowie, Jark, Orlando, Kieran, Strawberry Bounce, and Howoriginal; highest position 1st (Jark) http://images.askmen.com/galleries/singer/kelis/pictures/kelis-picture-1.jpg Kelis Rogers is a 27 year old singer, songwriter and rapper from Manhatten, New York; Raised in Harlem, her name is a combination of her parents names Kenneth and Eveliss. Although she has released 4 studio albums, Kelis also features frequently as a guest on other artists' songs; her first single appearance was one Ol' Dirty Bastard's 'Got Your Money', which reached 11 in the UK. Kelis immediately got noticed upon the release of her screaming, angry debut solo single 'Caught Out There', which remains one of her biggest UK hits and one of only 3 of her singles to reach the Billboard Hot 100 in the US. Debut album Kaleidoscope made it clear that Kelis was no ordinary R&B singer, with her body painted a blinding array of colours on the album's cover. This album sold 250k in the US but follow-up Wanderland (2001) didnt even get a release there; her label did not feel the album was strong enough to warrant a US release and where it did get released, it flopped hugely, selling just 50,000 copies world-over and producing only one, unsuccessful, single. Kelis moved to Europe during the time of this era, and supported U2 on tour. She also supported Moby on the US leg of his tour where she met rapper Nas, who she later married (wearing a green dress!). It was not until the release of her third album in 2003 that Kelis found US success. Lead single 'Milkshake' was a provocative upbeat track with a metaphorical chorus widely assumed to be highly sexual; it peaked at number 3 on the Hot 100 and number 2 in the UK. The album Tasty sold Gold in the US and Platinum in the UK, and featured two more highly successful singles; the reggae-inspired 'Trick Me' and the Andre 3000 collaberation 'Millionaire'. Kelis disappeared into the studio again and emerged in 2006 with an odd choice of lead single; 'Bossy', a heavily hip-hop inspired track which perhaps was not the best way to launch her 4th album. Nevertheless, 'Bossy' debuted and peaked at 16 on the Hot 100, becoming only her 2nd Top 20 hit in the US, though it missed the UK Top 20 altogether. Her 4th album Kelis Was Here also flopped; it just missed the UK Top 40 and to date has sold just 30,000 copies. In the US it debuted and peaked at number 10 but fell off the chart so quickly that it has, to date, sold a measly 130,000 copies. Though neither of the 2 following singles would rescue the album, 'Lil Star' has been a significant success in its own right in the UK, reaching number 3 and selling over 120k, putting it firmly on the year-to-date best-sellers list. Kelis has now given up on the Kelis Was Here project, having publicly scathed over her label Jive's poor promotional efforts, and is in the studio recording her 5th album, with rumoured input from Swiss Beatz and Calvin Harris.
