Why is she special?
From her unruly hair to her eclectic sound, Kelis is a woman of her own design. Although her ability to switch effortlessly from one genre to the next has won her legions of fans, it has also confounded critics who have attempted to label her sound. "Am I R&B because I'm black? Am I pop because I have a song called 'Milkshake'? Or can I just be who the hell I am?" she asks, exasperated. "Good Lord, people make it seem like we're doing heart transplants here, but we're just making music!"

Why we know her?
Kelis Rogers was nominated for a Grammy Award in 2004 for her booty-shaking single, "Milkshake." Riding high on success, the sultry songstress put all her passion and talent into her fourth album, entitled Kelis Was Here (2006).
