"Not to toot my own horn but a lot of girl singers black and white are starting to sound like me. Honestly, I did hear myself in that Beyoncé song, but I didn't get mad. I figured influencing others is a part of my purpose as an artist."

I think that they did get that yelling shit from her but i like some Kelis' other work like her "Living Proof" she is all her self i think she is a beautiful person perosnally she is way more high fashion then Beyonce with her F*cked up weaves.But Beyonce isn't versatile she sound the same on all her songs but anyways i'm done.

I think Kelis is DELUSIONAL and EGOTISTICAL!!!!!
She does not have HALF of the vocal ability or respect as Beyonce.

I loooove Kelis and Beyonce. And I can see how she would have thought that Beyonce sounds like her in Ring the Alarm. Some people may not remember, but Kelis has been out there way before Amerie's "One Thing" and Beyonce's "Ring the Alarm". I think Kelis makes great music for everybody to listen too. And she's right. She's in a league all her own and no one's giving her the props she deserves. But I'll give it to her, before there was Lily Allen (still too new for alot of yall), Beyonce, Amerie, there was Kelis's "Runaway from Home". I hope ya'll don't scare my girl off.
Keep doin' your thing. I know what you meant!

Kelis could never compare herself to Beyonce. Beyonce is very talented and she appeals to a much larger audience than Kelis ever will. It's sad that Kelis is sitting home worried about how Beyonce is biting her style.Maybe she would be better off mentally if she thought up a way to reinvent herself, ya know.
