- doctorfungi, on 11/03/2007, -10/+61Am I the only one that thought that was a ***** epic headline?
- xTRUMANx, on 11/01/2007, -2/+49Seriously, some people need to accept the fact that they're just a one hit wonder.
- asdfrewq, on 10/31/2007, -0/+27The best bit: "She’s a different kind of artist - very image and style-driven. It’s either something you get or you don’t.”
No. Just... Sweet zombie Jesus, no. This really exemplifies why the recording industry is going down the drain and it's been coming long before piracy had any impact at all. All the way back to 1981 and the birth of MTV, in fact. And I mean sure, I get it, image is and always has been important in music but just how it got to the point that "image and style" are now considered a major artistic trait for a musician is well beyond me. - ostracize, on 11/01/2007, -0/+19The problem is she can't write a song with any more substance than those two. They're just mindless beats set to some generic, raunchy lyrics.
- nsummy, on 10/31/2007, -4/+22How the hell did this get so many diggs? Somehow I can't see many diggers being Kelis fans. With that being said, she is married to Nas and already filthy rich. She was never that big to begin with, so who cares?
- GunbladeVIII, on 10/31/2007, -3/+21And now I'm going to have that damed earworm of a song stuck in my head for the rest of the day. Thanks a whole *!(%ing lot, Digg.
- ericthegreat, on 10/31/2007, -5/+18Who ***** cares?
- libertao, on 10/31/2007, -2/+15Dugg for the title alone.
- haiduz, on 10/30/2007, -3/+14Damn You bit torrent pirates! Don't you see what you have done?! You cost this incredibly talented artist her millions! Now how will she be able to make such classic hits such as milkshake! More importantly, how will she or Nas be able to support themselves? Have you no shame,this is a sad day for art everywhere and its all your fault!

- ayeroxor, on 11/01/2007, -0/+10ib dat wut dat lyk? Otay, Buckwheat!
/rolls eyes - CrucialMatt, on 11/01/2007, -1/+10"Kelis is now hoping to branch out into acting"
...Jesus Christ :rolls eyes: - mikesherov, on 10/31/2007, -1/+10She didn't even write the song. That honor goes to Pharrell.
- pixelate, on 10/31/2007, -0/+8She could have, but then she would have had to charge.
- MeMongo, on 10/31/2007, -3/+11When I read the headline, I thought "Who dumps who after her what did what?"
- nphase, on 10/31/2007, -3/+10Too bad she never taught anyone, now that talent is wasted.
- getatmedigg, on 10/31/2007, -2/+8"Milkshake" was a gimmick song. I like Kelis but I don't enjoy the "producer" worship that the industry has embraced. Instead of getting the 12 best songs on an album , they'd rather hire a worn-out crew like the Neptunes to endorse and name-drop all over someone's CD.
125,000 copies would have been great if it was self-released but to the majors, it's a failure.9 - amgamer23, on 10/31/2007, -0/+6Bingo.
- skyshock1, on 10/30/2007, -3/+9ROTF... dugg for the title.
- sovereign3, on 10/30/2007, -1/+7You're being overly critical. I think ALL music follows that inverse principle.
- NCSUspoon, on 10/31/2007, -2/+7It's not that we like her, it's that we loathe her. That song was probably the most irritating thing since that time where I forgot how to sit down.
- huskerdude, on 10/31/2007, -2/+7Oh, she's married to some famous guy. I always wondered how she ever got a deal in the first place.
- shulkman, on 10/30/2007, -1/+6That is a crying shame...
Oh wait, I hate that song... It made me want to shove pencils in my ears each time I heard it.
Yes Kelis, please go be a housewife. - ratherbeinvegas, on 10/30/2007, -1/+6Great. I had finally gotten the "Its a small world after all" out of my head ... and now this.
- tehnico, on 10/31/2007, -1/+6In other words.
"There isn't room for talentless hacks in this business anymore." - sp1keNARF, on 10/31/2007, -1/+6i think kelis is more "R&B" than rap. still crap, however.
- Urusai, on 11/01/2007, -0/+4Sounds like most pop music these days.
- logicalnoise, on 10/31/2007, -3/+7while I'm not a kelis fan(don't hate her either), It's amazing that they'd keep britney(despite justin timberlake defending her) over her a stable act who still sells reasonably well.
- mstoneburner, on 10/31/2007, -1/+5Articles and particles aren't capitalized in title case, brainiac.
- ChiKoo, on 10/31/2007, -0/+4sweetblondie, thanks for writing up one of the best headlines for any story i've ever seen on digg. honestly, if it weren't for the title of this article, i probably wouldn't have opened it up.
- CraigJ, on 10/31/2007, -0/+4There is a reason it's called "Title Case"
- danwooduk, on 10/31/2007, -0/+3Well she's had more than one, before Milkshake there was Caught Out There, Good Stuff, Young Fresh N' New, and after it Trick Me, Millionaire, Bossy, In Public, and recently Lil Star made number one... pretty good track record to be honest! All big hits.
- cryptomystic, on 10/31/2007, -0/+3who ***** cares?
she sucks, how is this news? - sp1keNARF, on 10/30/2007, -4/+7you mean there just isn't that big of an audience for crap music?
- ZenMojo, on 10/30/2007, -1/+4I loved Kelis. "I hate you so much right now" was one of my favorite songs. I didn't really like Milkshake all that much. She's a really good backup singer at the very least but many of her songs are *****.
- MeMongo, on 10/30/2007, -0/+3Can't it be both spam AND lame?
- brufleth, on 10/30/2007, -1/+4Summary:
Not enough people are buying some rich bitches boring CDs so her record label is dropping her and she wants to try acting.
In other news sky is blue and water is wet. Is it so hard for people to believe they're just a fad, a one hit wonder, another trite piece of over produced artistic trash? Producers spawn boy bands, rap super stars, and the latest pop sensations like Gizmo spawning gremlins. These people need to be happy with their 15 minutes, avoid spending all their new found wealth on "ice" and spinners, and enjoy retiring in their twenties. - edwartica, on 10/30/2007, -1/+3Who the hell is Kelis?
- Calcularius, on 10/30/2007, -2/+4That song made me vomit.
- lava, on 10/30/2007, -4/+6I'm not a fan of R&B by any stretch of the imagination, but I have Kelis' cd because it's actually pretty good from a musical standpoint (except for milkshake) You should give it a listen. Remember, R&B and Rap usually follow the inverse rule. if(popular){music =*****}
- dilpil1, on 10/31/2007, -0/+2Lol @ label selling 150,000 copies of an album and considering it a failure. Major labels: n00bs at business in the 21st century.
- sovereign3, on 10/30/2007, -1/+3Then Bury it and move on. No need to waste bandwidth with your nonsubstantive comments about the utility of this being on the home page. I'm glad it's on the front page because I would not have found out about this otherwise. Kelis is (was) a favorite artist of mine and this is a story that's relevant to me and enough of other people to warrant front page material.
- somesthetic, on 10/30/2007, -0/+2bangladesh!
- apoc06, on 10/31/2007, -0/+2yes, but youre in the uk, i assume. in the US, only 'caught out there', 'milkshake', 'bossy', and 'get along with you' were major hits here.
her 'young fresh and new' album wasnt even released here in the US.
honestly, being that she is a major protege of pharell and neptunes, im not surprised to hear that jive dropped her. its well known that pharell and jive arent exactly friends due to jive's mishandling of another of his groups: the clipse. - AutomaticTLC, on 10/30/2007, -2/+3If you listen to anything else by Kelis minus "Milkshake" [especially her older albums] you'll find shes one of the best R&B acts out. Its a shame SHE was dropped.
- ayeroxor, on 10/30/2007, -1/+2Pretty ***** Stupid But It's Tradition Around Here.
- amgamer23, on 10/30/2007, -0/+1Do you live in a cave? Do you not listen to the radio? Is this enough question marks for your liking?
- bluesnowmonkey, on 10/30/2007, -2/+3It's because Kelis isn't a real name.
- beathermit, on 10/30/2007, -1/+2she's married to Nas she'll be alright.
- mtb4me3000, on 10/30/2007, -1/+2Dugg for title!
