No other songstress can come close to this vixen
Kelis's fourth album maintains and still stands apart from other female RB-pop sirens. I'm extremely happy with this album. I have been a true Kelis fan since the release of `Wanderland.' Kelis is a confident woman who brings a non traditional, progressive sound to music. She reveals how truly talented she is. There are so many beautifully constructed and delivered songs in this album. The styles on this album go from RB, rock, hip hop, '80s new wave, classic soul, and rap. She even gives us a great mixture of ballads and club tracks. There is no shortage of music in here. br / br /Once I first heard the intro I mistook it for a track because it was so catchy. The start out single `Bossy' (Featuring Too $hort) is great because it lets her fans and new listeners know who she is. `"Aww S***" ,' `I Don't,' `Handful,' `Appreciate Me,' and the hidden track called "F*** Them B****es" are some of Kelis's trademark clearly showing us what a tough person she is and what she represents- got to love it. She brings back the sexuality on `Whats That Right There,' and `Blindfold Me,' which is beautiful and the lyrics are nice. `Till the Wheels Fall Off Think,' `Living Proof,' bring in some great melody's, class, and funky beats that you'll won't resist. `Like you,' is one of my personal favorites because of the beats and the opera chorus held in the background it's so tight! br / br /`Weekend (Featuring Wil.i.am)' is very infectious, uplifting beat with some fun lyrics. `Lil Star' is another personal favorite because it has an old school vibe and Cee Lo and Kelis's voice works so well together. In `Trilogy,' Kelis brings us to her world which is sweet because you would think the Neptunes had there hands on this track. `Goodbyes' is nice soft melody accompany by some great lyrics. `Circus' is good because Kelis brings out what most music artist probably stands for these days. And finally, `Have A Nice Day' - is a great ending because it's soft and joyful at the same time. After hearing this album I couldn't get enough. She is such a great artist that is so under appreciated. br / br /`Kelis was here' is defiantly a very strong album. You can tell she has gone through a lot of changes in here. She has held on to her roots while branching out into this album. She is clearly one true artist. br /

HUGELY under-rated
People think of Kelis as that "mad chick who screams on tunes," but that is so far from what she has progressed to be. Her take on "URBAN" music is very unique and uterly creative. She should just have her own genre becuase this album is truly not like anything out there. She's talkin about love and all that general subject content but the WAY in which she does is commendable. I hope one day she gets the respect she deserves. br / br /Content: 7/10 br /Production: 9/10. She manages to get your normal RnB produces to produce songs that they probably wouldnt do for anyone else br /Lyrics: 7/10 br /Creativity: 11/10 Cant stress how unique this album is br /Variety: 8/10. Whole range of vocal production, style and content br /Guest Apperances: 8/10. Nas and Cee-lo songs were really good. Another talentless rapper from the South, my nephew could have wrote better bars than he did 4 Bossy. Spragga Benz was also good. br / br /Overall: 8.5/10 br / br /S.O.T. (stand out tunes) br /Fire br /Weekend br /Till the wheels fall off br /Aww s..... br /What that right there br /Like You br / br /She really shouldnt do slow jams tho!

Er...lets not get it twisted here
This album is ok, pretty decent but by no means GREAT! I'm baffled by other reviewers rating it 5/5- madness! Kelis's old albums like Tasty and Kaleidoscope are faaaar better, in fact this is her weakest album yet in my opinion but it's still worth buying for tunes like Bossy, Blindfold me and Trilogy which are all superb.

OK
I thought that this was going to be more rapping than is actually contained on the final disc, as bossy was a classic rap song of 2006 and i though Kelis had a great flow and i think that she needs to expose it more. Most of the beats on this are very good, although i hate the new single Lil Star. It is SO Boring! I can't sit through it, and usually i like Cee-LO. br /This is a good album, but not really what i was expecting from Kelis, but i do like the track with Nas!

One of a kind
This album shows that despite this being Kelis's fourth album, she is just as innovative and multi-dimensional as when she first came out with Kaleidoscope. br / br /Every track on here is good (although I do have a couple of favourites e.g Trilogy, Lil Star, Goodbyes to name a couple) so you won't be disappointed. br / br /Overall, she's one of my fave artists - good singer, great songs, love her style.....the list goes on. In my opinion, there isn't anyone around right now who is anything like her. br / br /So if you haven't got this CD or any of her other previous ones and you like RnB then I suggest you go buy them! Right now!! br / br /Unless of course if you prefer the same old formularised, predictable RnB that most people have come to expect nowadays..... br /
