I edited this page to remove non NPOV comments. The image "kelis.jpg" needs to be removed from Wikipedia's database as it is a copyrighted promotional image not meant for republish, etc... Pacian 06:15, 27 Apr 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Pronunciation

Could we have a knowledgeable person add a bit on how to pronounce Kelis's name? --Yamla 17:43, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

Yes, and can we pleeeease change this picture? Makes no sense at all, you can barely see what it is. And why is it a picture of a poster? geez, people, come on

[edit] Charts

On the official website of Billboard, they say 'Caught Out There' reached the top 10 at the US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles.. More specifically the #9 position

)

[edit] New album and single?

Where is the source for her upcoming singles and album and collaborations with OutKast for Broke Again (Millionare part2) and for Raphael Saadig Island Letter. When you google those it only leads you to wikipedia, I think those should be edited until there is a source that states the upcoming album name.

[edit] Sex symbol

What are trying to proof here? I think that most people agree that Kelis is a sex symbol for some people. Google "Kelis sex symbol" = 1 - 10 of 50.800 results. Reverts like that are nonsense KittenKlub 18:44, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Is this the idea of working with wikipedia? Just removing all kinds of stuff because it is not cited? I think that way of thinking will hurt this project and makes for a poor atmosphere. KittenKlub 18:46, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

How about Playboy is that a good source, because that's the first result from google? The real problem is that this not something to dispute about, because it is pretty irrelevant. Just like reverting good additions by newbies because they didn't know that it need a reference, because that way newbies are leaving this site. KittenKlub 18:51, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

As noted on that article page itself, you are doing your google search incorrectly. A proper search comes back with very few hits at all (281 actual pages, 665 'estimated', though most of the actual pages aren't on the topic at hand). Compare with a search for 'pony "sex symbol"' which comes back with more than sixteen times as many hits. Additionally, I dispute that Kelis is a sex symbol. I have never heard her referred to as such (quite the contrary). Also, the information is uncited. However, you clearly disagree with me on whether disputed information needs to be cited so I will not revert your reinstatement of that category. --Yamla 18:59, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Single Information

I have added the missing singles information for the singles missing from each Kelis album. If anyone can add the single covers for "Caught Out There", "Get Along With You" and "Young, Fresh 'N New" I'd be most grateful!

Could someone also provide links for the above singles from the Singles chart table in the discography section as I'm not sure how to do it! Thanks!

"Kelis is both very hot and very sexy. She has some of the world's most finest legs and ffinest breasts. Kelis looks extremely good with her high heels on." WTF IS THAT?? im removing

[edit] neptunes + kelis band

anyone know what the band they formed was called? so they went to the same preforming arts school? or? 17:46, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

I don't think they were in a band together. Kelis did do some vocal work on the Neptunes CD "In Search Of."

[edit] Kelis guest appearance in sitcom 'Friends'?

If I'm not mistaken, was Kelis in a few episodes of Friends as Ross' crush and Joey's fling? Or was I seeing a different actor?--User:Dysenterymatt 20:34, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Are you thinking of Aisha Tyler? Pumpkingrrl 00:38, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Birth year

Kelis was born in 1979. She had her 27th birthday party last week: http://www.contactmusic.com/news.nsf/article/nas%20and%20gray%20help%20kelis%20celebrate%20birthday_1006476

[edit] pronunciation

the pronunciation was ambiguous. Does her name rhyme with sis or with cease? kwami (talk) 00:40, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Apparently, cease. Thanks for updating the link. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 01:01, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
