Yall giving Kelis too much credit for things that she copied as well. I mean there really wasn't anything original about the video or these crazy sunglasses or that fucked up hairdo. I do like the song and the video is decent but far from EPIC... And @The Realest...Rihanna's image comes from the androginous punk rock scene meets high fashion. Seeing as how Kelis's success is mediocre I doubt anybody was studying her style...music...or anything else. APPEARING TO BE THE FIRST TO DO SOMETHING DOES NOT MEAN YOU OWN IT! For the record: I think Lady Gaga, Kelis, and Rihanna are completely different kinds of artists.
