Caught Out There

This was a powerhouse of a song, it was also lightening captured in a bottle. The right time, place, producer, song, and artist all merged together to create Caught Out There by Kelis. If there was ever a competition for woman's anthems, this song easily places in the top three all time. Produced by Chad Hugo and Pharrell Williams aka The Neptunes, Kelis' sound was quirky, funky, and edgy.

Complete with blonde curls edged in pink, Kelis had the perfect attitude for this song. Her delivery was pitch perfect, and when she screams I hate you so much right now she was speaking not just for her, but for women everywhere that feel that way about their man every now and then. Released in 1999 Kaleidescope introduced not just her but The Neptunes to the world.

Caught Out There didn't do much climbing on the charts here, but in the Netherlands and the UK the song went top three and top four respectively. While it didn't top the charts here at home, it became that unforgettable anthem for women everywhere, and at one point there was no place you could go without hearing a female voice screaming I hate you so much right now. Enjoy.
