i think you are being too hard on them m8, they are still much more then 'another name on the back of an 80's compilation cd'...”

As I said, they have their places in history - nobody could and would deny that, however thesedays they simply ARE 80s icons.

You dont rate Bjork so im going to assume your knowledge of her is minimal at best. She is an innovator - each album sounds different and uses different technology which she puts her all into. Couple that with her dedication to touring, providing quality multiformat releases to her fans and of course providing launchpads for new artists to release their music...I dunno, I dont see how she can be slated?

true, my knowlege of bjork isnt that great because ive yet to hear a track by her that i like... so im not going to dig deeper am i? however, i accept that she is an innovator, i accept shes been influencial, and i havnt slated her...i just dont think that both as a personal thing and as a factual point that she compares with bush/bannion.

Thats cool, different strokes for different folks. I think all 3 have influences different sectors of music as we know it today so its hard to compare. Its easy to say that a successful female has inspired another successful female.

Just pathetic. Go and post in the Kate Bush thread if you wanna 'debate' things. Back to Kelis. What did everyone think of Kelis Was Here? Bossy was an awful lead single. I love Appreciate Me.

I was using Mariah as a point of reference dahling. I didn't hijack the thread like you're doing, now run along to the Kate Bush forum, kiddo.

Its OK, I love Lil Star. I much prefer Tasty though - especially Milkshake, Millionaire, Keep It Down, Trick Me and Sugar Honey Iced Tea.

... and we were using bush/bjork as a referance in which to compare kelis by. thats what happens when discussing a topic, its proper and gives a greater perspective into the said artists merits.

Has it been mentioned on here that Bjork and Kelis have collaborated on a track before? Oceania? Just thought I'd mention it. Apart from that I have no idea why she'd been mentioned otherwise, can't be bothered wading through whatever argument you lot are having

No, ye started discussing Kate and Bjork seperately. You went completely off topic. You didn't use their names in passing at all. Anyway..

I love the video to Get Along With You. It's got a dark edge to it.

This is brilliant. Never was a fan of Kelis' previous work, but this is fantastic

Hopefully it's a hit for her as she deserves it - this song is a tune!

Agreed. There's a really good live version on youtube. Have you seen it? Her voice is lush. I'm so lovin' Acapella by the way.
