People keep calling her a flop, but i'm sure when they put out the album they predicted how many she would actually sell becuase she didn't have a huge promotional budget or anything like that. If they shipped 100,000 more than she sold, then we could call her a flop. My point is, kelis never flopped, like Will I Am said, "kelis is for the cool people" i'm sure the "cool" people bought her album. The only thing holding her back is her "star power", if rihanna, or gaga sang her songs, they would be hits! she should consider writing for them...
