After the success of her first album, Kelis commented, "Kaleidoscope was an experiment. I got into the studio, 18 years old. I was angry, I was anxious and waaaaaahhhhh! Whatever came out, came out."

Kelis's only Grammy Award nominations are the two awards for Best Urban/Alternative Performance for the song "Milkshake" in 2004 and Best Contemporary R&B Album for her fourth album "Kelis Was Here" in 2007, but she didn't win either of them.
