When he want it, he blindfolds me! Then I get sexy on him, get sexy on him like...
#11 "Blindfold Me" Ezekiel 23:20–21 : 3 tinawina : 3 @antigonerising : 7 LBTrocks : 7 Zinc. : 8 Kanenrá:ke : 8 Wave. : 9 snarks : 10 Hashtag Pow : 10 .indulgecountry : 11 Az Paynter : 11 Zeebz : 11 Linnethia Monique : 12 Troublemaker : 12 Ty : 14 bat1990 : 15 Me. I Am Justin... : 16 God : 17 aerodynamite : 17 Sambalada : 17 Juan Carlos : 19 B-Boy : 20 SHOOTER : 20 Albie : 26 singingrulebritannia : 27 peacebone : 28 Audience@mirza jhomes87 "Blindfold Me", produced by Polow da Don and Sean Garrett, was the second and final American single released from Kelis Was Here and became a worldwide flop; it spent one week on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and peaked at #91. I like the song but I always thought it was an odd choice for a single and didn't think it would do much damage following "Bossy" (even the YT views are absymal). Still don't understand why Nas' rap in the video version is completely different from his two verses on the album version either.
I also can't believe how popular this song was in the rankdown; I thought it would be one of the more polarizing records here and also one of the most under-ranked records since it's arguably her most forgotten single and because Pulse is as Pulse does but it really hung there and would've been top-10 had peacebone not snuck in that #28 at the 11th hour.

Wow I thought I'd be the only one to rank it that high. I've always loved that song. LOL

Acapella Bossy Caught Out There Get Along with You Good Stuff In Public Milkshake Millionaire Trick Me Young, Fresh n' New
Okay the only thing that's really irritating me on this list besides Acapella outlasting the Food tracks is the presence of Good Stuff, which I also don't see as possibly better than the best Food songs or representing the best of Kelis' body of work. Other than that I can live with this being the top 10.

This is jam. Sad to see it go. I ranked a few EDM materials above this but this is definitely one of my favs from Kelis Was Here.

(Only right now, though. You're usually cool in my book.)
I'm just glad at least one Flesh Tone song made the top 10. #smallvictories

I forgot to give you a shout out for being the one other person who ranked 4th of July at #1 I don't know if I'm imagining it but our rankdowns are usually really similar(more than anyone else here) you have great taste

Time to crack open this top-10!! #10 has the 4th highest SD and slid into the top-10 by 1 point. Only two people tanked it (including an audacious #30) while 12 people ranked it top-10. Only one person will lose a #1.

I've always hated that carnival game sound effect on loop. It takes me out of the song completely.

This grew on me a lot after I listened to it again in preparation for the Neptunes rankdown. If I were to redo my list, I'd have this about 10 spots higher.

#9 is one of three songs to make the top-10 without a single #1 ranking. 8th highest SD with a 37 point lead over YFN.
2 haters in the bunch vs. 11 people who ranked it top-10; someone's about to lose their #2.
