The ever-eccentric Kelis is currently over here in the UK promoting her European smash ‘Acapella’, most recently stopping by The Jools Holland Show to perform the song. See how the former Mrs. Nas fared after the jump…
The initial mic issue at the start could have been fatal for the performance, but she recovered well. Got me thinking, though; was she actually singing live?
On another note, I’m gonna need Kelis to command the stage a little more when performing. Afterall, here she is performing a storming dance track, yet standing stone still.
Old cow?
Is that really you…Kelis the old cow???
Since when singers have to dance? They are paid to sing, not to dance, that is just another factor that may make people like them but I dont give a f*** if the singer dances or not, as long as I like the songs
LOL
RIHANNA IS SO MUCH BETTA
be quiet sam that was obviously no lip-syncing
this bish sucks ass
not being funny but people need to STOP
Honestly people need to stop comparing KELIS to rihanna, gaga, and other random chicks…anyone who knows music would be intelligent enough to know that kelis has been in the game since the 90´s
unlike rihanna she is not manufactured and sculpted she is an artist
so a little respect pleeeez
@ HIHIHIHI
Not on this planet.
Rihanna sounds like a goat getting r****. At least Kelis sounds amazing live.
I freaking love you Kelis and this made me love you even more! You bettah sing girl!
WHEN HAVE THIS B**** EVER SOUNDED AMAZING PLEASE JUST CUT IT OUT
@ Wesley Thanks so much for that comment. You know what it is? Its these young a** kids that don’t know anything about her. Just like you said she’s been out every since the 90’s and was always weird. Then you got people calling her old Kelis is only 29 since when is that old? She looks better than half the chicks out there thats 18-25. PLEASE stop hating so much on a Veteran in the game.
I love Kelis. I think she takes herself too seriously all the time. Losen up, Kels.

I SEE LADY GAGA COPYING KELIS’S GRAY HAIR NOW.I TOLD YALL SHE IS NOT ORIGINAL NOR WILL EVER BE ORIGINAL.SHE SHOULD CHANGE HER NAME TO COPYCAT GAGA.
Damn, I guess it’s “Hate On Kelis Month”. The mass misconception and misunderstanding of her personal affairs have created this cyber-hate, where everyone wants to criminalize and blame her. Global warming is worsening – blame Kelis. The economy is bad – blame Kelis. My nuts itch – blame Kelis. Nas is broke – blame Kelis (errr…now, there might be some validity in that statement; but its cheaper to keep her – TEAM KELIS) Make your comments based off of this women’s work, and not that of any other artists, because she cannot be compared; and given that she was doing this way longer than those she is being compared to, she deserves not to even be mentioned in the same sentence as them out of respect. I digress….
On a different note, Kelis did a great job. She sounded quite similar to the track, and I thought that her presence on stage was appropriate. Yeah, some would argue that it would have been nice for her to dance around like she’s drugged, or having a seizure, with glow-sticks-in-hand (a la the rave club scene that this song bumps in), but that is not Kelis’ steez, never have been. So expecting her to do 8-counts, is an expectation of someone who is not a Kelis fan. She explained that this song was written for her son, and she definitely performed this song as if the song was sentimental to her. All in all, great job Kelis’, and I cannot wait for your album to be released.
Thanx for posting – love this tune! I must say she did sing live all the way – you can hear the sound that would have been coming up “in the house” it was a schoolboy error on the part of the sound production team to stream to the main feed.
Acapella is such a great song I couldn’t resist having my kids choir cover it. Thanks to the amazing Kelis for such a great song!
