Kelis on GaGa: “Being pretty is annoying and it’s boring”
Posted by Christian on Feb 07, 2010 49 Comments | Follow us on Twitter

Kelis sat down for an interview where she talked about her upcoming album and she had some kind words to say about Lady GaGa. Read what she said below:

“She’s a youngin’. I appreciate it. It’s interesting actually. I appreciate her visually. I really appreciate her visually. I say this all the time, being pretty is exhausting and it’s boring. I think that when you are not afraid to not be pretty and just kind of go there… and I’m not saying that she’s not pretty but I’m saying that as far as the choices she makes fashion wise… That’s what’s fun.

She’s separate from it because she’s white. As a black female I always say, “Look at us”. The ones that they let in, we pretty much all look the same at the end of the day. We are all the same complexion, same color hair, same build..it’s like “where’s the variation”. And its because what’s safe and what’s acceptable..and what’s pretty. Pretty is annoying and it’s boring. You don’t get any credit for being pretty because it’s what your parents did and what God did so if you can actually do something creative and do something that’s not always easy on the eye, I can appreciate it.”

wth – who is this Kelis anyway? never heard of her b4 she started making remarks on our girl GaGa!! not trying to be ugly toward her but this is the 2nd comment I’ve read today with her talking about GaGa :D



fleshTONe | Date Posted: February 7th, 2010

Why u dumb pricks Tranny KaKa stans try so hard to be shady all the time?
Kelis was giving the ugly troll props. The interviewer asked and she answered. Kelis could’ve been a bitch like Courtney Love and say her music sucks and shes not originial, but she was nice about it. Kelis been setting trends and been doing crazy, weird stuff before Lady Gaga was even Lady Gaga.
Let’s remember, nothing about Manly PaPa is originial. Shes a Bjork/Roisin Murphy/Grace Jones impostor. So keep it cute smuts!



gaygay | Date Posted: February 7th, 2010

Uh, Kelis was complimenting her. YOu stans always feel the need to talk sideways.

If your response was in a better written form of English then I am sure it would have more value. Then people may not be so quick to bash your opinion. This is just a friendly suggestion. I have no doubt that you are extremely intelligent and your opinion deserves to be heard! However, the form you have used will not get you the results you are hoping for.

Have a wonderful day and enjoy the Super bowl if you are watching it! :)



nod2mybeats | Date Posted: February 7th, 2010

It’s a very half-hearted complement. Though, I do understand what she means.

I do say “pretty is pretty, but pretty isn’t AMAZING.” And, in a nutshell, I think that’s what she meant. Lady GaGa is perpetually AMAZING.

I highly disagree with her comment on Black women in the industry though. Beyonce does not look anything like Estelle who does not look anything like Jennifer Hudson who does not look anything like Keri Hilson. All of which look nothing like Kelis.



monsterFALL | Date Posted: February 7th, 2010

I dont think you understand what she means about all black female artist looking alike. Shes referring to style. All of those female artist are doing now what Kelis did 4 years ago. When Kelis first did the short haircut, EVERY female R&B artist were rocking long blonde hair. Now all of a sudden, they all have short haircuts.



flesh TONe | Date Posted: February 7th, 2010

@Gabe
I’M NOT HERE TO WRITE AN ESSAY AND I CAN GIVE A FUCK WAT U THINK HONESTLY.
U CLEARLY UNDERSTAND WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT, BUT U TOO IN-DENIAL AND DELUSIONAL TO HANDLE THE FACTS. YES I SAID IT, TRANNY PAPA IS NOT A TRENDSETTER! SHE IS NOT ORIGINAL AND SHES A FRAUD! AND HER LITTLE UGLY MONSTER STANS NEED TO KEEP IT CUTE WHEN ANOTHER ARTIST IS GIVING HER PRAISE. NOW IF IT WAS A DISS THEN I WOULD SAY DIFFERENT, BUT ITS NOT.

Lady Gaga is the prettiest woman in the worlllddddd

LMAO at Kelis stans on here bitching. A sad, pathetic mess.



_glowstaR | Date Posted: February 7th, 2010

Lady Gaga is really ugly. Even with a nose job she is still ugly with horrible music.
Kelis a natural beauty, no comestic surgery, better music and better style.
Lady Gaga needs to stop digging in Roisin Murphy and Bjork trash cans becuz she will never be as iconic as them.



Ellie | Date Posted: February 7th, 2010

_glowstaR, 1st of all she never had a nose job, get your facts straight before you post :P
& why are you here if you hate her so much?



Shnbujn | Date Posted: February 7th, 2010

Why on Earth would people who don’t like Lady Gaga come to this site? What a sad existence.



gagaohllalalah | Date Posted: February 7th, 2010

very interesting perspective. reverse it back to white chicks and I would say the same. madonna, britney, kylie, keysha etc. gaga and stephanie are different. she used to be a plain, chubby, brunette (stephanie), and now she has redefined her image to fit in too (skinny, heavily made up, blonde gaga).

nod to nod to my beats- beyonce and estelle – fabulous artists. can’t c how they are the same though, both hellavah talented and look and sound totally different. gaga will never have the beauty of beyonce, but she sure as hell makes up for that in other areas!!!!



little monster! | Date Posted: February 7th, 2010

@_glowstaR, It’s really funny how you say Lady Gaga’s music is horrible and Kelis has better music, because Gaga’s music singlehandedly dominated 2009 (five #1 hits), and I’ve never even heard of Kelis. Nice try though :)



omfGAGA | Date Posted: February 8th, 2010

A blind man can see Lady Gaga had a nose job. Accept it. Lady Gaga had a bigger nose before with a huge bump on the bridge. Now its thin and slimmer. I’m a make up artist and its definitely not make up. Lady Gaga has had cosmetic surgery. Even with the surgery, she is still ugly.



omfGAGA | Date Posted: February 8th, 2010

I don’t give a shit if lady gaga had a nose job…….I HAVE HAD A NOSE JOB!!!! IF YOU DON’T LIKE GAGA LIKE I SAID BEFORE GET THE FUCK OFF THIS SITE: ]

mr blafa | Date Posted: February 8th, 2010

who is lady gaga? I am new in this site.



Godga | Date Posted: February 8th, 2010

What’s funny is that Gaga has had more success with The Fame than Kelis has had her entire career, and people really need to do their research because people there were artists before people like Roisin Murphy & the other women mentioned in here. None of them are original, and they all just take a bit of what they’ve learned from earlier artists and make it their own.

Anyway, it doesn’t matter what Kelis says because Gaga pretty much owned her entire career with just one album. And Kelis stans are on here talking shit because? How did you even find this site in the first place? A pathetic mess.



matt | Date Posted: February 8th, 2010

^^ here here. totally agree. kelis stans cya laterrrs. gaga has had more success in a year and a half than kelis has had in her entire career :) ugly or not ugly, i really couldn’t give a shit as it just goes to show, you don’t need to be cheryl cole or beyonce to be amazing, just goes to show, talent over looks! always wins!



E | Date Posted: February 8th, 2010

_glowstaR OH PLEASE DON’T JOKE.

LADY GAGA IS ITALIAN!!!!!!!!!!! WHY DOES SHE NEED TO HAVE A NOSE JOB!????



E | Date Posted: February 8th, 2010

_glowstaR

And gaga also dedicated almost everything to music.
SO please don’t SCOLDDDDD her before you don’t know about her at all !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
she is amazing and hardworking.
pretty or not doesn’t affect her passion on music!!!!!!!!!



milk&honeyA | Date Posted: February 8th, 2010

WHATS A LADYGAGA? IS THAT A DILDO FOR FAT WOMEN?



_glowstaR | Date Posted: February 8th, 2010

But a nose job supposed to make you look better Lady Gaga. Why are you still ugly? And to top it off, shes a Roisin Murphy impersonator! Give back Ms. Murphy her style back!



fleshTONE | Date Posted: February 8th, 2010

JUST BECUZ MANLY PAPA HAD A SUCCESSFUL 1ST ALBUM DOESNT MEAN ANYTHING. VANILLA ICE SOLD 50 MILLION WORLD WIDE, WHERE IS HE NOW? TRANNY KAKA IS GARBAGE WITH GARBAGE MUSIC. KELIS DOESNT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT THE SUCCESS, SHE MAKES MUSIC CUZ DATS WAT SHE LOVE. WHEN UGLY GAGA MAKES IT TO ALBUM #5 THENU UGLY MONSTERS CAN TALK SHIT.



Joe x221 | Date Posted: February 8th, 2010

Guys stop feeding the trolls.



Gabe | Date Posted: February 8th, 2010

For real flesh TONE

Cuz dats wat she love

Kelis, I have great respect for you but your fans are representing you very poorly! It’s a shame.



filipe | Date Posted: February 8th, 2010

it’s a shame for kelis that her fans are so dumb and hidious at anything to do with society. good one on trying to start arguments on an artist you hate, yet you go on their fansites.



jo | Date Posted: February 8th, 2010

uh… who is kelis? never heard of her.
just looked her up on google…
loooooooooooooooooool.



Ellie | Date Posted: February 8th, 2010

Lol FleshTONE if you knew anything about Gaga, you’d know that she makes music because she loves it too. It’s lame enough for a hater to come on a fan site, but if you’re going to hate, do your research before you post. & ROFL at the fact that the haters are STILL here XD Don’t you people have lives? Go get on a Kelis fansite instead of hating on a Gaga fansite. & yeah I know, I’m feeding the trolls :\



Godga | Date Posted: February 8th, 2010

Ignore them Monsters. It’s probably just one person using different names, rotfl. Lol at the Kelis stans lurking on Gaga’s site to look for something to copy off of.

Poor Kelis. It’s never happening for her. Gaga has owned her life. Her music shits on hers completely. Kelis should be more worried about getting that child support from Nas because lord knows she isn’t bringing in any money. Lol at Kelis’s new “album” being 8 tracks just like The Fame Monster. The bitch is copying already!

She’s gonna flop anyway though, so it doesn’t really matter. Meanwhile Telephone is blowing up the charts, and Gaga starts her WORLDWIDE ARENA TOUR in the UK on the 18th. Poor Kelis. 4/5 albums later and still not a bit of success.



gagaohllalalah | Date Posted: February 8th, 2010

no need to kelis bash. i think she was actually paying gaga a compliment. she just uses a different vernacular.

arena tour – hope it rocks our world!!! gaga got it covered – major loyal fan base, plus the others who love her or hate her, can’t help but be react which is exactly what she wants. popculture at its finest. peace.



lol | Date Posted: February 8th, 2010

What is up with the bashing? Kelis gave Gaga a compliment, now everyone is going at eachother from both sides. Love Gaga, love Kelis.



gaga | Date Posted: February 8th, 2010

She didn’t say Gaga isn’t pretty. She’s just saying she feels how Gaga doesn’t go for the pretty pinup look. Both Kelis and Gaga are amazing. Both are channeling Grace Jones, Bowie etc.



little monster! | Date Posted: February 8th, 2010

_glowstaR, So how does Gaga getting a nose job or not have to do with anything about her music? She’s successful because of the music and performances, not because of the whether she got a nose job or not so you’re arguing about something really pointless.

fleshTONE, You really make me laugh because you’re ignorant comments are so ridiculous that I don’t even need to explain it to you. When Kelis or whoever this person is (funny how I don’t even know who she is, shows how much of a career she has) sends a single to the charts, then come and talk shit. I don’t even need to mention that Gaga sent her first 5 singles to charts and nonetheless, got to #1. Yeah her music is garbage alright LOL … oh wait, be right back, Bad Romance is on the radio :)



mckensi | Date Posted: February 8th, 2010

Pretty is relative. The beholder is he who decides what is appealing and what is disgusting. It is simply annoying to hear anyone say that pretty is boring when “pretty” is purely objective. To be loud, Kelis seems an idiot with this comment. Get a wider viewpoint, see outside yourself. Have a nice day.



Alexander | Date Posted: February 9th, 2010

WHO THE FUCK GIVES A SHIT IF GAGA HAD A GOD DAMN NOSE JOB??? Yeah, except for lifeless retarded beings that like to call themselves ”people”

And God, Kelis said that GaGa’s beauty is original, she meant something like “she isn’t beautiful as in pink, fluffy, ParisHilton-ish, cute, w/e, she’s fierce, intimidating, original.. and that’s real beauty”… Well it’s my opinion, but Kelis meant the same fucking thing!

p.s. <3 GaGa :D



marie | Date Posted: February 9th, 2010

STOP…. the both are beautiful and they have their space in the music… so stop putting nonsense right



fleshTONE | Date Posted: February 10th, 2010

KELIS COPYING UGLY PAPA? YEAH FUCKING RIGHT! KELIS DOESNT NEED 2 COPY A UGLY TRANNY. KELIS HAS BEEN DOING IT BEFORE THE WACK BITCH EVEN RECORED A SONG.
LMAO@ U LAME MONSTERS SAYING “WHO’S KELIS?”
STOP TRYING SO HARD, ITS LATE!
KELIS’ NEW ALBUM WILL NOT HAVE 8 TRACKS! U PPL ARE TOO WACK.
WHEN TRANNY DADA WILL BE AS AMAZING AS KELIS THAN U BITCHES CAN TALK SHIT AND THAT WILL B NEVER. FUCK SALES! HER MUSIC WILL NEVER COME CLOSE TO KELIS’ MUSIC.

go search her on google images
ahahaha i see her penis!!!



Baby GaGa | Date Posted: February 15th, 2010

It’s really disgusting that there are HATERS and TROLLS everywhere especially to this F*CKING flesh TONE.

FIRST AND FOREMOST, LADY GAGA DIDNT HAVE A NOSE JOB!!! Maybe you believe that shit rumors because YOU ARE IGNORANT of the word PHOTOSHOP, or maybe you live in the mountain and wild forests to conclude that it can’t be fake. How POOR.
(FOR YOU TO BELIEVE, SEARCH GAGA OLD PICS EITHER GOOGLE IT OR ON YOUTUBE, SEARCH FOR HER VINTAGE PHOTOS EVEN HER TEENAGE PHOTOS AND CHILDHOOD PHOTOS – so that you may find the answers to your foolish beliefs.)

NEXT ONE, THIS UNKNOWN KELIS, if you’ll only try to examine and imagine what she said, that “PRETTY IS BORING BLAH BLAH…” then it ONLY MEANS that she’s VERY INSECURE OF HERSELF because SHE IS OBVIOUSLY NOT PRETTY (or ugly?), that she talkin’ about the WHITE CHICKS who are more appealing because SHE CAN’T EVEN LEVEL HERSELF TO BEYONCE (one of my fave artist for your info).

THOSE PEOPLE COMMENTING GAGA is a TRANNY, HERMAPHRODITE, GAY, etc etc.. ARE OBVIOUSLY INSECURE TO GAGA BECAUSE THEMSELVES LOOK LIKE TRANNY.

AND TO THOSE F*UCK HEADS WHO BELIEVES THAT GAGA COPIED THESE ROISIN MURPHY, BJORK ETC ETC ETC, YOU’RE NUTS COZ THESE ARTISTS YOU MENTIONED DIDNT EXCEED GAGAS AWESOME PERFORMANCES, SONGS, and the MAJORITY of the people will tell you that THESE ARTISTS ARE REALLY BORING.

AND FOR YOU INFO, MANY people haters already said that GAGA copied CHRISTINA AGUILERA, BRITNEY SPEARS, BEYONCE, MADONNA, BJORK, DAVID BOWIE (Just search youtube) – THEN THEY ARE ONLY PROVING THAT GAGA CORRELATES with other artists and NOT A COPYCAT.



fleshTONE | Date Posted: March 3rd, 2010

GAGA HAD A NOSE JOB! U HAVE TO BE IN-DENIAL 2 BELIEVE THAT SHIT.
AND KELIS LOOKS A ZILLION TIMES BETTER THAN MANLY PAPA WITHOUT MAKEUP!

GAGA IS A COPYCAT, DEAL WITH IT! SHES A WANNA BE GRACE JONES, BJORK AND ROISIN MURPHY. A BAD AND UGLY VERSION.
