Editorial reviews

Amazon.co.uk Review
Kelis's debut album was a phenomenal success, but the muted interest in the follow-up has been followed by low expectations for her third album, ITasty/I. "Caught Out There", from IKaleidoscope/I, had her storming the airwaves with a chant of "I hate you so much right now!" and she returns with "Milkshake", a schoolyard taunt for grown-up girls. The minimalist Neptunes production was an obvious first single but the CD hardly stops there. From collaborations with Andre 3000 ("Millionaire", a showcase for the OutKast frontman's falsetto) and Nas (the randy "In Public") and a rap-rock exercise ("Keep It Down") to irresistible updates of early 1980s RB ("Protect My Heart", "Glow"), the disc offers plenty in the way of potential follow-ups. While less playful than some of her past work, ITasty/I brings a raised eyebrow and good humour to the 21st century sex-u-up template. I--Rickey Wright/I

It's okay, just too inconsistent
Kelis' tasty actually has a lot of good songs in the album. However, it also has a lot of bad songs in the album. Out of it's 14 songs, about half were good and half were bad.Her song arrangement helps keep the flow in the album, and I think it was creative of her to put an intro.Songs like: Trick Me, Milkshake,millionaire,In Public, and Rollin through the hood are good.However,you lose interest in the album(at times) and you basically have to force yourself to keep listening. It's inconsistent, but worth listening to for her most catchy and creative songs from her album.

Refreshing and different
Tasty is the third album released by kelis, but still has funky beats and a refreshing sound. Guest appearences by Andre3000 and Nas are just a few of the successful artists on this album. I could barely take the cd out of my car, cool rnb and catchy tunes throught the album.brStrongly reccomend this to any rnb fan

KELIS, YOU ARE AN ACE GIRL!!!
Kelis, what can I say, you are FANTASTIC! I loved this CD from when I first got it. The album is sexy, fabulous and a beautiful new urban artist (Well, not NEW necessarily). Move over Jamelia, roll on Kuh-leese! 'Intro' is funny, a strange beginning to Tasty. 'Trick Me' is a fun song, GREAT 4 dancing 2 and a funky tune; though I don't like the remark with 'dick' in it. 'Milkshake', we all know, a classic urban tune we can all relate to. I LOVE it!!! 'Keep it Down' is one of my favourites, a mixture between urban and rock with a hard drum whack at the beginning of the song. 'In Public', one of the singles released on 4th April this year, is another GREAT song. 'Let's get it on in public'. LOVED IT!!! Roll on Kelis! 'Flashback' is a weak song, a boring tune that I don't much care for. 'Protect My Heart' makes up for it! Love it!! 'Millionaire' was another single, a song that I quite like. The video is strange but cool. 'Glow' is OK, hmmm? Don't particularly like it. 'S.H.I.T' is alright, a bit weird but GOOD! 'Attention' is a song I don't really remember. It's OK, but a bit weak. 'Rolling thru the Hood' is cool, I LOVE her vocals on this one!!! 'Stick Up' is a song I LOVVVVVVVVVEEEE! FABULOUS, KELIS ROGERS!!! 'Marathon' is OK but not a gr8 end to the CD. BUY IT!!!!!! YOU'LL LUV IT!

Tasty - contains flavourings sweeteners
Don't be fooled by this one. It is not an outright winner. Sure, it has pearls such as Trick Me, Milkshake, In Public and Millionaire. But the rest is just filler which is a great pity because this lady has one of the most beautiful singing voices I have ever heard and with the right direction even the stuffing could taste nice. Stick Up is promising but the vocals are just not given a chance. The corny Intro will have you pressing the Next button after the first couple of plays aswell.

Give this a try...
I bought this album on the strength of "Milkshake", "Trick Me" and "Millionaire", but soon realised that there was much more to this album.p1. Introbr2. Trick Me (9/10) Everyone knows this song. Has quite a different sound.br3. Milkshake (8/10) Everyone knows THIS song too. Different to any other songs on the radio with spoken chorus.br4. Keep It Down (10/10) This is a great song, quite rocky. The only downside is that it ends too soon.br5. In Public (7/10) A sexfest featuring Nas. Good production from Rockwilder.br6. Flashback (7/10) This has a nice chorus, but it's not as good as the other Neptunes songs on the albumbr7. Protect My Heart (8/10) This has a real 80s sound. Pleasant enough.br8. Millionaire (9/10) This is real funky and her voice works well with Andre 3000's.br9. Glow (10/10) The chorus to this sticks in my head. One of the best songs on the album.br10. Sugar Honey Iced Tea (8/10) This is as sweet as its name. Another typical Neptune's track.br11. Attention (6/10) Didn't really like this one, it's a bit same-y.br12. Rolling Through The Hood (5/10) Again, not very good, quite uninspired.br13. Stick Up (6/10) Again, a bit same-ybr14. Marathon (7/10) Good way to finish the album. Lifts the standards back up after the previous three songs.pDefinitely worth buying and listening to. The similar production may start to great, but as individual tracks, there are some great highlights.
