  • i went into this with such low expectations and was mildly surprised. nice job Kelis

  • Kurt wasn't bisexual. He joked around though about being gay to piss of homophobes. Also, artists really shouldn't try to cross genres like this. Imagine Nirvana doing a grunge version of an R&B song. It would sound weird as the music doesn't match the style.

  • ποσο για τον πουτσο ειναι η μαλακισμενη

  • even the guitars in this cover are terrible

  • This is fucking awful. This is just an attempt at gaining popularity by covering a popular song. This doesn't gain her any 'cool points' whatsoever. Also, her and her backing singers got the lyrics wrong, which raises the question, why the fuck is there backing singers in Smells Like Teen Spirit? Kurt wasn't bisexual either. I hope she somehow goes back in time to remove this absolute atrocity from the history of the Earth. What a stupid cunt. If you like this cover, you're an idiot.

  • white people are maaaad.

  • Oh fucking goodness I like both kelis ad nirvana but... this shit right here....this shit is shit.

  • Kelis is dope, but this sounded shit...

  • Even if Kurt was bisexual- which he was not- why did you put it in the description? It has nothing to do with anything! Unless you're saying you have to be bisexual to like hip-hop or some shit.

  • (Do we have to quote Ramones) Kelis is .. a punkrocker !

  • Not the best sound but Kelis still rocked this out. She better channel her inner Nirvana! :) Work bitch!

  • HAHA WTF!?!?

  • Please remove the bi comment out of your description! He wasn't bi!

  • Kurt wasnt bi..

  • Kurt Cobain is not bisexual so please take that out the description please

  • I actually like this version, and the original..js

  • Dude...Kurt was not bisexual. He simply was not homophobic, in fact I can quote him saying "I'm not gay, but I want to be...just to piss of the homophobes"

    So he's not attracted to men I'm afraid. Please learn a little about Kurt Cobain before you actually say anything about him.

  • She is amazing. Do you know where this is from?

  • a perfect example of why Rock is better!!! Nirvana is the greatest

  • <3 kelis.

  • **PUKE**

  • Wow... This sounds terrible, but I LOVE Kelis and Nirvana!!..... separately.... haha

  • As much as I like Nirvana AND Kelis, I don't like Nirvana + Kelis! The entities should have remained separate.

  • I love Nirvana and Kelis!!!!!!!!

  • Thanks KelisFreek, im a kelis fan, and never knew she liked Nirvana too (you learn something new everyday) and i can actually sing the song with her and not sound like an ass when I do with kurt. still love the original, but i give this version it's respect too.

  • I love is it sounds really good

  • this lady is a white hot mess. GARBAGE!

  • no...just.. NO!

  • Kelis is a STAR - respect for doing this

  • Kurt Respected hip-hop,but not this kinda shit!!!!

  • you are bisexual

  • kurt would have loved this song by anyone other than him. he didnt like this song because of what it made nirvana become. he just wanted to play and write songs, so get over it. even if its not the best thing in the world deal with it that other bands loved and still love nirvana.

  • i respect her for trying but NO DONT DO IT!

  • Respect KelisFreek for posting this.

    As kelis fan myself, I prop and the band for the cover. But I agree she & the band should have let loose harder on this. I saw her do this in ATL and it came off stronger.

    And yes Kurt repsected Hip Hop, check his diaries page 111...

    Thanks regardless!

  • wtf?

    i agree that kelis is a great performer but i hope she will not sing nirvana again!

  • Not perfect but it sounds good. I like that it wasnt like an exact copy and its cool to see someone have diversity in the music they like...

  • SHITE compared to the original

  • she should have been screaming this shit!

  • I still remember that they were supporting act of U2 during a concert in Arnhem in 2000. They were the worst support act ever!!! And this song I hardly heard because of all the booing....

  • well although i hated this cover, must say we all have something in common ... we all <3 Kurt.

    Sometimes i just dont understand why the anger!

  • cool (Y)

  • When Kelis still had a hot body and an afro.

  • Whatever the audience is hyped and loving it... so, no one can say shit, Kelis is her star music, maybe its aint your cup of tea, but some of us think she is beyond awesome...

  • I think a few white women at this concert would get the crap kicked out of them by some big black mommas at this concert if they showed up dressed like the standard vulnerable intercultural fish bimbos of yesteryear.

  • What. The fuck?

    I like Kelis but who in the hell told her to sing this or that it sounded good. This vid should be called how to Ruin a Good Song: 101. The vibe and attitude is all off.

  • I grew up on Nirvana. I recently started listening to Kelis' and, being a Nirvana fan, I like to hear how artists sounds live. Often hip hop, r&b artists and female soloists do great studio work but just can't perform. Kelis is a huge exception. She's all I look for in a performer. She doesn't try to carbon-copy her studio work. She plays with a full band. She can actually sing and she puts on a great show. This isn't the best cover ever, but each time I hear from Kelis I'm more impressed.

  • garett69 i'm so happy to hear you say that :) im a big kelis fan and have hear ther twice in concert, met her once. she's a fantastic performer. i agree that this isn't her best work, by far, but live, she's amazing. she has said herself that she's a better live performer because it translates all of the soul and energy and excitement of the real-time emotion rather than a studio performance. this isn't her best, by far, but props for trying. i love her.

  • awsome i love this song

    nirvana r.i.p.

    i love the spot too im so glad i got the song

  • this is a good song. Very hiphop!

  • I love kelis! So much! But she ruind this tune BAD. Lol the last nail in the coffin eh. :P. Still love Kelis. But she shoul stay way away from this tune.

  • I don't suppose anyone knows who the drummer is? I've been searching for hours. I remember him from Kelis' Glastonbury set in 2000 but need his name so I can check out other stuff he's worked on.

  • Low quality but I like it

  • help! help God! wtf??

  • if she could actually sing

    i would like this, and her other music better

  • this sucks

  • Excellent video.

  • no offence to people who like her singing this but i think she killed it

  • Can't get any better for me, I love Kelis and here she covers one of my all time favorite songs!! Great!!!

  • uhhhh i noe rock

    and she aint rite 4 it

    she shuld stik 2 the genre she rox at

    xxx

  • idiot

  • awesome track!! id love to have a studio version of it!!!

  • Kelis is the shit.

  • Wow I love Kelis even more now dhe is so real not like rihanna playing punk Kelis actually knows god music and I so original got your back babe

  • Is she taking the piss?

  • i think it is SOOOO cool, dat someone like kelis, like that hip hop rnb chick, is covering nirvana!!

  • she's doing pretty well to sing that low! i like kelis but im not 2 sure about this. nirvana's version is better. but this isnt completely bad. some bits suck. but some r ok.

  • what is it with rappers tryna cover shit

  • Kelis, isnt a rapper! Shes a singer, love!

  • thatas a insult to Nirvana!!!

  • oh..my..god.. she like hypnotised the audience with her hips and sparkley top...other than that she suked, but she has balls to try and cover Nirvana u've gotta admit that

  • i like the fact that she actually made an attempt to do a song in this genre......props to kelis......

  • whyyyyyyy would she try to sing nirvana

  • this just doesn't sound right

  • I can respect the fact that she would cover a genre that she doesnt often cross into but its something about this that people can't really get into. Much props to Kelis for trying something new. Its just something about Kurts voice that makes you wanna listen. I think Kelis should shoot for another song to cover. Even with an open mind I cant get into it.

  • No, this sucks.

    Kelis is not the type for this kind of songs

  • I think a lot of people have pigeonholed her as a sexy hip-hopper & can't handle her crossing boundaries.

    Try this: Forget Cobain's great original. Forget Milkshake. Watch it again, but with a naked brain.

    Fact is, Kelis has an awesome booty AND a mind. Doing Cobain puts her into some kind of boundary-crossing world with Chibo Matto and Kate Nash and Corinne Rae Bailey.

    Sometimes I'd rather a performer be interesting than just pretty. There are enough beautiful ciphers out there.

  • oh mannnn... I love Kelis, but this is just not right.

  • this cover is a realy shit

    kelis is shit

  • dont know if kurt would like this one but i know one thing he hated when ppl threated women wrong and if she wants to cover nirvana it doesent make her asshole or any other rudeness.

  • what's next, madonna ruining "American Pie"? (shit) Someone needs to chain her to an anchor and throw her into deep water.

  • you sick cunt

  • A really bad cover :-/

    KURT COBAIN NEVER DIES !

  • she makes thissong soundshit nw GRRRR

  • and half of the fucking lyrics were in the wrong place, or not even in the song

  • If I would have to compare it to the teen spirit covers you all make,I think this one is very good.

    I have really heard worse :)

  • sehr schön, mir gefällts^^

    very nice, i like it^^

  • Although I thought the performance was awful, I find it inspiring that a hip hop star gave'props' to Nirvana. It was cool to watch, awful to listen to, but at least she tried. I never thought i would see pogo'ing at a hip hop show. :) - Some things never cease to amaze me.

  • Ugly shit...

  • plus i doubt kelis listened 2 nirvana

  • very very very terrible confused tho r n b tryin rock dont work jus like other way round it dont mix very yuk n kurt werent bisexual

  • Kelis isnt and R&B artist!

  • still i dont care this is poo

  • It's the biggest gay ass shit I've ever seen.You destroyed such a beautiful song.FUCK YOU!!!

  • that bisexual thing was kinda random

  • what a fuck...

  • This is a good song!!!! From: soberbia13

  • kurt was not bisexual

  • This Is KEIRAN DYER!!! What a load of crap!! stick to grabbing your crotch and shouting "huh yeh huh alrite" Please do not try and cover a classic.... especially if your of this music variety =)

  • FUCK NIGGERS GET OFF THE STAGE

  • we fuckin invented this shit and we do it better

  • FUCK WHITE SHIT ! YOUR MOTHER IS BITCH BITCH BITCH ! FUcKIN' WHORE

  • good remix of this is the 2Many DJs Nirvana vs. Destinys Child of soulwax pt. 1.

  • awful, I'm suprised the band were able to even play it (not that its hard AT ALL)

  • daamm, i didn't know he was bisexual... r u serious that he was bi?

  • He did indeed love the cock. Not sure if he took it or gave it though. Either way the fag is in hell. oppps

  • this is disgraceful

  • didn't know she could sing like this , nice vocie

  • SHITE

  • yea... the music bad, good voice though

  • Shame about the music itself, because her voice fits the song nicely.

  • Kurt actually just said he was "definately gay in spirit" and could have probably been bisexual. respectful cover anyway.

  • FELICIDADES EXITO I AM OF VENEZUELA

  • kurt wasnt bisexual what the fuk r u on

  • This doesn't sound like a good version, but her performing it only means she appreciated the song!

  • WOW.....just sad......

  • WTF kelisfreek shame on u !!! why would u put this on youtube u mock KURT u should be shot

  • How veeeery true. Whats up with the fucking piano too?

  • Wow this is horrible..

  • bleeh, this is crap

  • the worst!

  • I think Kelis might be mentally retarded...

    As well as anyone who listens to her music.

  • Jesus, calm down.

  • Well the crowd seemed to like it. LOL Most of the people on here said it was horrible but look at the people in the video.

  • Oh, ya, and Kurt was NOT bisexual, there is no proof of this. There is no proof he was. So dont say shit you dont know "kelisfreek" and learn what real music is.

  • This is an insult, not a cover. kelis should be ashamed AND die jn a car crash for disrespecting Kurt, Krist, Dave, and Pat with this disgrace. This 'cover' is as bad as kelis's career and as ugly as her fat ass. I can only hope The Music Gods smite her fugly fat ass. And if any wants to argue, i say this now, FUCK YOU. I shall not return to this cursed place again.

  • kelis isn't fat anymore ...nor ugly :-D

  • kurt was bisexual??? even for a bisexual guy THIS would be too gay...

  • kelis is a train wreck

  • was he really bisexual?

    well, everyone has his own thing, and you gotta respect that, no?

  • grrrrrrrrrrrrr

  • This is embarresing

  • ...you would think that this idiot would, at least, learned the lyrics correctly??? and at what point did kurt do 'shout outs' during the song???

  • Well, I love the song and although her performance of it was a tad, shall we say " different" I commend her for respecting Nirvana's music.

  • wow....she's not that bad! At the very least, she's eye candy!

  • kelis has no right to make the anthem sounds like a trendy song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    how stupid she is!!!!!!

  • hhhhmmmm .. thatz interesting

  • i hate you so much right now!

  • Nooooo D': Breathe. Just breathe. Everythings going to be okay..

    I love Kelis to death but, baby... Leave Nirvana out of this. Ruin a classic like that. Wow. I need to click away fast.

  • Yeah, in my opinion her version is a lot weaker than the original but who fucking cares? I think it's great she performed this song, it's great to see such respect for Kurt from people from various music cultures. Respect for Kelis.

  • Fucking Shit... Nirvana THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • after hearing to this i have a better appreciation for kurt cobain's talent.....

  • THANK YOU!

  • jeez thats awful......

  • Kurt was bisexual? WHHAAAAATTT??? where did that come from? ahh well he is like my idol - who cares :)

  • man i am black, and i get made fun of for listeneing 2 rock, and bcause nirvana is my fav band...its stupid, i like rock, get the fuck over it.

  • true that dude if you like rock, then listen to it....dont listen to all the other ppl saying "oh, well your black and that means you have to listen to rap and not rock" just listen to what you want and if nirvana is your favorite band then so be it

  • What's???!!

    NIRVANA RULEZ

  • i liked it...it was cool...i like dat song

  • hello hello helllo???? :| what's that??? i don't like it...

  • bad cover so shit the one and only smells like teen spirit is from nirvana

    NIRVANA RULEZZZZZZZZ

  • raped again. sry kurt, they know not whet they do

  • oh gosh. yuck. stick to your milkshake.

  • Hahaha. This is so terrible, it's embarrassing.

  • not even funny

  • is this a joke?

    u gotta b kiddin me. its a sick joke if it is!

    and if this is serious i feel sorry 4 her. its embarassing!

  • What the hell? wrong lyrics... This s**t is scary

  • EXTRMELY ballsy for someone with her fan base, i liked it.

  • couldn't sit thru the first verse.But hey,if you like it than way to go :P

  • this version is so gay. Kurt must be rolling over in his grave right now

  • lol

  • she shood piss of and go milk herself instead of making a lame cover...

  • palmcoasthoward is so full of shit he would love to go home to this everyday. If you say you would not you would be a liar.

  • what the fuck is that stupid shit, fuck off ok, nirvana was (and still is) too great to fuck their songs in this way what the fuck???? die

  • GREAT :) I love Nirvana, and that performance simply show, that Kurt's songs sound great in every kind of music :) so there are symphonical versions, swing versions, ukulele versions, choir versions :D:D:D:D GREAT!!

  • I'd like to hear beyonce do a song like this. Kelis' voice is too deep for a song like this, especially since she isn't used to shouting into the mic.

  • her milkshake scares me right the hell out of the yard.

  • Nas has to go home to this horrible mess every single day.

  • It had too many other sounds and people, kinda took away from the effect the song itself has.

  • it wasn't too bad
