"Milkshake" was nominated for the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Urban/Alternative Performance. One of writer James Baldwin's characters once observed, "You can't sing outside the song, you've got to be the song you sing. You've got to make ... Full Descriptiona confession." Few modern singers on pop and R&B radio live as deeply inside their songs as fellow Harlemite Kelis, who passionately screamed "I hate you so much right now!" on her first single, "Caught Out There." That song was equal parts punk and funk, and the rest of her excellent debut, KALEIDOSCOPE, wandered through style after style, revealing her proficiency in all.
"Milkshake," the opening single of her third effort (her second album, WANDERLAND, was, strangely enough, not released in the States), features lyrics that might initially sound gimmicky, but it adds a darkly insistent techno-garage beat for an unforgettable musical moment disguised as a pop song. Kelis takes her influences from all over the map, referencing artists from the Pet Shop Boys to the Beastie Boys. "Keep It Down" starts off with a metal guitar riff and Kelis channeling Joan Jett with a most sensual fury, spitting out lines like "soft porn doesn't do it for me." She then proceeds to slide naturally into a sweet R&B ballad with poetic lines, such as "I got nervous and laughed your love away." As a whole, TASTY sports a delicate balance of intriguing experimentation and catchy hooks to create one of the most delectable records of 2003.

Rolling Stone (1/22/04, p.68) - 3.5 stars out of 5 - "...Her best work....a solid R&B album, one that's thickly speckled with hip-hop influences and nods to early Prince and Eighties Latin freestyle music..."
Rolling Stone (p.146) - Included in Rolling Stone's Top 50 Records Of 2004 - "[The] album proves the Harlem-raised singer's off-kilter but bizarrely catchy R&B hit was no fluke..."
Entertainment Weekly (12/26/03-1/2/04, p.140) - "Milkshake" ranked #5 in Entertainment Weekly's 2003 "Records of the Year"
Entertainment Weekly (12/12/03, pp.76-7) - "...[A] vivid, full-spectrum [album]....the beauty of TASTY is in witnessing Kelis rise to the challenge of working with multiple imaginative maestros..." - Rating: A-
Mojo (Publisher) (2/04, p.103) - 4 stars out of 5 - "Kelis shows why she continues to be contemporary R&B's most refreshing revelation on TASTY." Hide Description Kelis Tasty Songs | 1. | Intro |

Tasty Music Review Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews KELIS?
I THINK SHE HAS AN AVERAGE VOICE AND FRANKLY THE SEXUAL CONTENT WAS A BIT TOO STRONG. SHE SHOULD HAVE LEFT MORE TO THE IMAGINATION! SHE MIGHT AS WELL HAVE SUNG ABOUT A MALE MEMBER THE WHOLE ALBUM THROUGH. I HOPE THE NEXT ALBUM IS BETTER.

Alot more than I expected
Actually, I give the CD 3.5 stars based on all of Kelis' work. Truthfully, I expected nothing more than the Milkshake song. I was reluctant on buying the CD, but I bought it after I heard "In Public" on "The Wendy Williams Experience". I like the seductiveness of the lyrics and that Vanity 6 sound (the hook sound like Toni Braxton to me). Even Wendy Williams admitted that she liked the song (she played it enough). To my surprise the songs on the CD were great. I really like "Sugar, Honey Iced Tea" "Glow" "Marathon -which showed Kelis' singing power" and "In Public". I knew Kelis could sing, however, she has more room for improvement. That's what's going to keep Kelis around for years to come. Keep up the good work, Kelis. I'm cheering for you.

Purchase Tasty CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Michael Jackson History: Past, Present And Future Book 1 CDs (1995)
Tasty album
 $23.79    
HISTORY BOOK 1 contains one disc of Jackson's greatest hits and one disc of all-new songs. It features a 52-page booklet with liner notes by Janet Jackson, Steven Spielberg, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and Elizabeth Taylor, as well as many never-before-seen photographs.
HISTORY BOOK 1 was nominated for a 1996 Grammy Award for Album Of The Year. "You Are Not Alone" was nominated for Grammy Awards for Song Of The Year and Best Male Pop Vocal Performance, and the Michael Jackson-Janet Jackson duet "Scream" was nominated for Best Pop Collaboration With Vocals.
Michael Jackson's monumental collection HISTORY BOOK 1 seeks to make two points. The first disc--chock full of hits spanning Jackson's Epic Records solo career--tries to establish how the so-called King of Pop earned that nickname in the first place; the second disc, featuring fifteen new, star-studded tracks, makes a case for him holding onto that royal moniker well into the next century. And though many may dismiss both directives as the product of Jackson camp hype, once ...

Tasty album
$7.59 
Samples include "Back Seat Of My Jeep" (as performed by LL Cool J), "Spoonin' Rap" (as performed by Sugar Hill Gang), and "Cutie Pie" (as performed by One Way).
In the ever-expanding school of teenage artists, Monica proves to be far ahead of her classmates. Toni Braxton-like vocals impress her adult audience, while the ghetto-driven music keeps her connected to her peers. Debuting with MISS THANG, Monica seizes the ground that other R&-wanna-B singers have barely trod.
MISS THANG breathed life back into the career-breaking smash single, "Don't Take It Personal." The album includes both that song and its remix, which combines the hit with Monica's interpretation of Jermaine Jackson's song of the same name. And while some seem to overdose on remakes, Monica keeps the covers to just one, the S.O.S. Band's "Tell ...
