Kelis - Acapella

[@irishquindara]

Everyone remembers Milkshake Kelis and not enough people know about Acapella Kelis. This song is still fire 10 years later.

[@helgagomes6617]

Indeed!!

[@martindavid1897]

Milkshake is the only song I don't like.

[@paullittler6506]

Yano that 😎👌.. bad track

[@studdpuppy85]

Kelis is one of the absolute best singers IMO. In my eyes she’s up there with Beyonce and Rihanna.

[@shanethetrain8132]

Did you see her on the masked singer on British TV?

[@GAM1990]

I’m still listening in 2022 and I just realized how she was really ahead of time 🔥 she deserves her flowers

[@ericboonk9653]

Same thoughts here!

[@TheLoxxxton]

Yup

[@S.AnnMarie]

Same here I agree

[@rogerstalder7184]

100% I just noticed, check out the Video Scream..... its totaly absurd how lady Gagas whole style is based on this Video 😅

[@abzznizzy4359]

Came across this song again a few weeks back and completely forgot how unreal it was!

[@Oluffemi]

That was such a beautiful era. Only Kelis would make you appreciate all music genres

[@DraganVidanović-s6y]

Beautiful era doesn't exist every excitable moment Is BEAUTIFUL 🥰🥰🥰😇😇😇❤️❤️❤️... What can I say i'm anest ...😊😊😊

[@vulcanhasnomoon]

One of the best and most beautifully written dance tracks in the last 20 years. Her talent is just too big. She's THE queen. The music industry ignoring her because Naz had a tantrum is just ridiculous.

[@machinedrum17]

I love that she switched it up at the end, making us think she was singing about a man, but turned out to be something better. Her baby

[@GracefulDanny]

The fact she wrote this about her baby son makes the song 10 times better.

[@frankarias4638]

it all makes sense to me now thanks

[@jvst1958]

I completely agree. A lot of parents say that their lives were nothing compared to when they had kids and this is such a beautiful tribute to her baby.

[@cbreeze123]

wow never knew that

[@eanaya76]

Really! Till this day I follow her on her social media outlets 👄🙈 and this makes me love ❤️ even more! Plus she composes her own music?? Totally didn't know that! Hopefully is all true right ! 👄🙈😂

[@jwales8133]

Loved this song..then became a dad and loved it all the more 😁

[@tnargtnarud]

Man she was definitely ahead of her time during this era

[@X1pizza]

Well, she's in DJ Hero. So, she wasn't completely skipped over.

[@tnargtnarud]

dragon killer What.

[@shadowplatinummist3625]

+dragon killer wow she is on DJ Hero thats really what she deserves to be on an overrated game. it is sarcasm she deserves a lot more than that

[@seeyoshirun]

She's been ahead of her time *most* of the time. I'd say every album except for "Kelis Was Here" has ended up sounding a bit like stuff that came out 5-10 years later.

[@caramelcow7720]

seeyoshirun That's the same with Janet Jackson's 2006 album. It was generic of the plastic R&B of the time, however, the plastic R&B from back then was HOT! anyway the outlandish outfit worn in the Lil Star video from the Kelis Was Here era was quite ahead of its time.

[@lb4398]

She always owned the Futurism space in music and fashion. Underrated

[@walterajimenez9466]

Kelis is an extremely underrated artists.

[@InternetWAPx]

she sure is, this album sounds very current even in this year imo.

[@alishaboyd569]

Andres Jimenez i agree

[@gonzaloarvietti4920]

Good artists always

[@Constavlos]

she aint under rated to me i rate her right at the top.

[@soniandukwe8981]

I relate, this is how I feel about my children

[@avidlearner3576]

She is soooo underrated. She stays ahead of her time therefore gets overlooked and the copy cats come along later and do everything she did years before. Its sickening!

[@morriscolenbrander1395]

It's revolting

[@justmanic9673]

It's ghastly!

[@ilikeditbetterbefore]

+Avid Learner I did not know this song. It's the same beginning of "dance again" of Jennifer López. Why nobody mentioned this?

[@reddbrooks]

+Avid Learner I agree 100%, so many female artists today do NOW what she was doing BEFORE it "cool". That's the story of anyone ahead of their time.. its never appreciated.

[@redsyko7505]

It's repugnant.

[@velocityquim831]

Kelis is a tigress! She is the epitome of eclectic. Listen to the bridge. She's singing about how her child's existence brought forth a symphony of love and music. Through the sound of her child, she finally found an infinite source of love.

[@irisperun4261]

Selfless love 😍

[@Flo97-s3m]

What a wonderful comment! 💕

[@Justineminoo]

Her visit to kenya brought me here I remembered how I loved this song love you Kelis

[@telemoveis6859]

After seeing her on Masked Singer I instantly came back here 💕💕💕 Timeless

[@sarahcellblockh1562]

This and 'caught out there" are definitely two of my favourites from Kelis

[@mewregaurdhissyfit7733]

The song and video, pure artwork.

[@K.M93-K.W]

I was glued when this first came out. She’s so beautiful, this proves she can do any style flawlessly.

[@russelianus]

When i was walking recently with my 3 months old daugther in a wrap these words suddenly came to my mind: Before you, My whole life was acapella Now a symphony's The only song to sing. I remember when 1th time i have watched this video i though it was about the couple love, but the end with baby in the back destroyed the system. It was genius. 10 years ago I was impressed by the lyrics and finale of this video, currently as a mother I can feel the single word of this song in my heart. Unconditional love ❤️

[@okmotobabi]

woah that's lovely

[@hobocode]

I was wondering the same thing. Maybe it's even about both couple and mother love. Like, the love she has with her partner is what lead to her becoming a mom. Because it says "before you". And it could be before meeting her partner or before having a baby. Hmmm.... I really wonder. The baby in the sling really makes it seem like she's talking about mother love. I agree with that. I just wonder if it's mother love via meeting her partner. Hmmm... Could it be both?

[@lilcamilamartinez8233]

I had been looking for this song for 5 years and I found it!!

[@NaturesGift2Women]

Beautiful....this song is for her son. That's why she's carrying him on her back at the end

[@NicholasGodday]

Only few still play this type of songs nowadays 😊😊 we're special ❤ ENJOY.

[@tashlaine]

I'm here because of a comment made on another channel. I like it. Wish I heard it sooner but never too late. Way ahead of her time.

[@davesmith1748]

I cant describe just how euphoric this makes me feel

[@laurentlieko4017]

Kelis is certainly one of my favorite female singer of all time. His music, from his debut, has always been original and inovative and her voice can can cover à large spectrum. Just hear the difference when singing this one and the different tone on "trick me"... Yep like her music really reflects her personnality. Original and full of colors. Sincere. Thanks Kelis.

[@SaraTorraco]

I was walking, was living My melody was acapella There's a beat I was missing No tune, or a scale, I could play No sound in the distance No orchestra playing together Like a boat out to sea The silence was too deafening So come and revive me I can't feel my heartbeat It's just me surviving alone Before you My whole life was acapella Now a symphony's The only song to sing Before you My whole life was acapella Now a symphony's The only song to sing Everything was the same One color was just like the others An assembly routine My memories were all black and white Till I stopped over-thinking Decided to draw back the curtains And I cleared all the cobwebs And began to let in the light So come and revive me I can't feel my heartbeat It's just me surviving alone Before you My whole life was acapella Now a symphony's The only song to sing Before you My whole life was acapella Now a symphony's The only song to sing You are the drum in my heart beat Bass and guitar lead Stuck on the notes you play My heart that you play on Grab like a crayon I can't walk away You are the drum in my heart beat Bass and guitar lead Stuck on the notes you play My heart that you play on Grab like a crayon I can't walk away You are the drum in my heart beat Bass and guitar lead Stuck on the notes you play My heart that you play on Grab like a crayon I can't walk away Before you My whole life was acapella Now a symphony's The only song to sing Before you My whole life was acapella Now a symphony's The only song to sing Before you My whole life was acapella Now a symphony's The only song to sing Before you My whole life was acapella Now a symphony's The only song to sing
