Kiely Williams Explains Why it Sounds Like She Has a Lisp on 3LW's No More (Exclusive)

- Kiely Williams is opening up to ET’s Deidre Behar about why it sounds like she sings with a lisp on 3LW's hit 2000 single, 'No More.' Despite not having a lisp in real life, Kiely reveals the technical reason behind why the vocal on the song sounds like she does. The 34-year-old singer, who left the spotlight a decade ago to enjoy life away from the spotlight, also reflects on her solo career and how she feels about her tracks ‘Spectacular’ and ‘Make Me a Drink.’ While Kiely confirms she’s not working on any solo music at the moment, she’s currently focused on her new reality series, 'BET Presents The Encore,' which premieres June 9 on BET. The show focuses on former girl group singers who live in a house and try to make music together in 30 days. Alongside Kiely are singers Nivea, Pamela Long from Total, Fallon King and Felisha King from Cherish, Shamari Devoe from Blaque, Lemisha Grinstead and Irish Grinstead from 702 and Aubrey O'Day from Danity Kane.
So without the technology she’s basically saying she was off key. Got it!
Dang, soo true lol
Basically she can't sang.
Way better to be off key than have a lisp. Cher can sing and they auto-tuned her voice in 'I Believe' a year before 3LW formed (1999). So that's what they did with this group, auto-tuned just to auto-tune, a fashion.
The same year 3LW's 'No More' was released Madonna did the auto-tune effect with her voice using a "EMS 2000 vocoder to twist the vocals" (different than auto-tune but can hear similar effect) So it was no big deal to do that trick. If Kiely Williams couldn't sing then she wouldn't be in Disney movies. They just don't hire amateurs. Get with it. You're welcome.
@@anon1325 So basically non of them could really SANG from cher to madonna. If your a real singer with real vocal chops there should be no need to be using autotune as a voice corrector to make your notes sound on key lol. Now Thank You!!! and you can go marinate on that.
@@glassbikes "So basically non of them could really SANG from cher to madonna." -Nope, you're wrong. Sorry. Thank you and have a good day!
I would rather admit to having a lisp than to tell people that ALL my notes needed to be corrected, which I don't believe. Never heard of another artist who gained a lisp through note-correction.
That part‼️‼️
😂😭😂 riiiight like biiiitch next! 😒😒😒
Yooo, I'm DED!😆🤣😂That chick issa weirdo. Glad she wasn't able to thrive👀☕
Exactly why not address it 2 decades ago.
@@theeclassyfratboiii5495 Yall would rather her lie?
She still has a lisp. It’s okay stop lying about it and be proud of it
😭😭
She's not wrong though, if you listen to Chris Brown's song Yo (excuse me miss) the same thing happens when he sings 'attention.'
Facts! I have one and it's not a bad thing.
@i am not human it’s a lisp
@i am not human Hun not all lisp are the same, some you can barley hear and some are very obvious. She has a lisp. Nothing wrong with it.
As a person who has a lisp, she clearly had one, it seems she has some therapy to help correct it, but it's still slightly there. I don't know why she's denying it.
I don't think she has a lisp right now , and if you watch old interviews she didn't have a lisp there either .
She doesn’t have a lisp.
She NEVER Had One. I Have A Slight One Too. She Ain’t Got One.
Ya Boy B-Tal
I was thinking the same thing.. it seems like she has one now
No, she never had one.
She sounded like she had a lisp back then because she had a lisp back then…😒😒😒 she actually STILL has it, it’s just been corrected quite a bit 💯🤷🏾♀️
People with gaps usually have a lisp because air goes through teeth, I have a gap and it happens to me from time to time
🤣🤣🤣👍
She doesn’t have a lisp.
Nor did she have one before, if you’ve ever watched interviews or even Cheetah Girls.
@@Aliasss she does indeed have a lisp…if I can’t do anything else, I can definitely tell when someone has a lisp
@@ladydonna773 - What you’re hearing is her words slightly whistling through her gap. Not necessarily a lisp sound. The lisp has a lot to do with the tongue.. she’s pronouncing everything just fine. 🤷🏽♀️
I can’t believe this made headlines. Us Black people don’t let sh*t go. Eva! 😂
That's what I said I'm like why tf she clear this up 10+ years later
Lmao she had a lisp and didn't want to admit it she had on with cheetah girls too lol
And she can never let her broken promith promith go 😆😆
Ok I’ll say it .. as black people we don’t claim her cause whew !!!!
That's because we busy killing ourselves and calling each other names!
Naturi has _Power_
Adrienne has _The Real_
Kiely has "Promithes, Promithes"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😭😭😭😭
🤣🤣🤣😅
*broken promithes, promithes
Sthstop it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
She has a lisp.. Im listening to it. Girl be proud of it
You must be watching a different video then .
Nah, she doesn’t.
I can hear what you’re referring to.. but it’s not necessarily a lisp per-say. I think it’s her gap that’s whistling her words through.
@@paschalchukwuogo4859 she's not i can hear it too
I hear it too. We must be collectively imagining it.
SHE Speaks WITH HER TONGUE heavy or heavy tongue! Like stop playing... either way girl got a lisp!! Just get the f over it.. not to mention if she didn’t You don’t think she would’ve BEEN said this esp on this New show where she had an opportunity to instead of just being silly and SINGING with a Lisp to make a joke out of what it seems she’s almost grown out of! It’s not a big deal!!! You know why she didn’t say that BS because in a HOUSE FULL of singers ... her card would’ve been SUPER pulled!!! Foh
She just admitted that without technology she cannot sing in tune?!
Hahaha
Her and her manager admitted that she couldn't sing, it just worked for that time lol
She was Literally 16
@@boyspicegaming so 16 old kids Cant sing? Interesting 🙈
@@ayash7363 not saying that but yak are really making fun of the way a 16 year old sang and pronounced words like that's super cool. She was still confident And talented enough to make it big and she had nice tone she could always learn to sing especially at a young age. I just think it's corny yall making fun of someone that was going l young and doing better than you
They are so wrong for including "the sex was spectacular." I thought yall were just clowning in the comments 😂😂
I’m legit crying, that part came on and I legit lost it
When i tell you I HOLLERED😭
It’s the thex was spectacular
@@resetthegame839 PLEASE 😭
Damn that video was cringy
Keily: " The Sex Was Thhhpectacularrrrr"
Me: I don't want it.
😂😂😂 exactly what I was thinking
I can't hear "the sex was spectacular" without thinking about that video of Raven and her friend clowning Kiely trying to sing "sex" with a lisp.
😂😂😂😭😭🤣
Stappphhh 🤣🤣🤣
YESSSS 💀🤣😭
I laughed so hard when I saw "the sex is spectacular" video.
Ive only seen that video once some years back
She should of never
I was like what the hell was that 🤔
😹😹💯
Doesn’t she have a lisp in that too 😂
@@gutgutcalor9095 yes that lisp was there.
I think Naturi Naugton deserves an apology period.
Even though she got the 🔑 to NYC and 6/18 is officially her day. Congratulations Naturi!!! That colorist stuff was a bad look. She shouldn't wanna be known as the kfc thrower. She was a bully and she just say sorry.
I think it's over now... time to put it behind us
@@damariowilson2350 Adrienne apologized so she should too. Thats why she hasn't had any success.
I hope that she has apologized in private
@@SuperPianogirl123 No she hasn't
We don’t care anymore… this was literally over 20 years ago. We’ve moved on.
I don't know why she has to lie about the lisp, she definitely had one. It's nothing to be ashamed of.
EXACTLY
I was watching TRL back then and she totally had a lisp she was signed at 12 and kids grow out of lisp
She definitely didn’t have a lisp….
@@mdgamble She definitely DID .. and that’s ok it’s a natural thing there’s no need to lie 😭😭 we could literally hear it
It is when almost every comment under a video about any of the group members say “broken promithses or player pleath “
Not the sex was spectacular 😭😭
😂😂😂
A modern classic
I cringed and cried
I fell out when I saw the clip 😂😂😂
I’m SCREAMING
I went back to earlier interviews from when the group first came out. She definitely spoke with a lisp. She shouldn’t try and deny it. She’s obviously gotten speech therapy to overcome it and should be proud.
She's crazy as hell 🤣
I literally remember her speaking with a lisp as well. I think she’s trying to act like it didn’t bother her but it probably really did. That’s probably why she reallllly reiterated that part
I just went back to the original video. She says 'stop at the subway' in the beginning before she starts singing with no lisp whatsoever. But hey maybe im hearing wrong
She had one in cheetah girls 1
Not as strong but yep: ua-cam.com/video/O4ymgypgrmg/v-deo.html
“I don’t have a lisp” broken Promithes
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
🤣🤣
You were so wrong for that! [giggle]
She’s lisping the word “lisp” while saying she doesn’t have a lisp 😂
Spectacular made me cringe and legit haunted me for a while 😔
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
LMAO THAT PART
💀
A LONG while
I thought she was cancelled for ill treating Natouri lol
Thought so too
She was a 17 when Naturi left. Most of the conflict was between Naturi and management, Keily’s sister, of course she was going to take her sisters side. She was 12-17 when Naturi was in the group. Had they had an outsider as a manager, they might have been better off.
Imagine cancelling someone when they were little children y’all sound dumb asf
she was a teenager under age at the time she grown and mature somewhat now
EXACTLYYYY
Anybody who engineers/mixes music knows this is impossible 😭 that perfect ass lisp you can see her lips in sync with the lisp like why lie
Exactly
Why were ALL her notes wrong? ☕️ 👀
That’s the tea!
We all know why lol
Cuz she was tired of the "broken promithhhes, promithhhes!".😆🤣😂
I don’t hear a lisp but I would have just asked her to say promises promises.
Omg you made me laugh really loud in my apartment when I read this 🙈 promises promises lmao
🤣🤣🤣
I can't believe that I even said, "promithes, promithes" and she doesn't wanna admit to a lisp 🙄🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
😆😆😆
She sure she didnt have a lisp back then?
I thought she was gonna say she decided to get speech therapy and work thru it. I was shocked to hear her say she never had one.
Because when shes in the music video her mouth movements go perfectly with a lisp.
🤨
Cause she had ro run with it, Maybe if she didn’t do the lisp it was going to look off.
And it was only on that one song
Exactly!
That part!!!!
“I’m getting a little tired of your broken promithes promithes. Looking at your pager seeing different numbeth and numbeth. Call you and your steady hanging with the felleth and felleth. Hanging with my girls you always getting jealeth and jealeth.
I was with you when you didn’t have no dolleth, no dolleth. Hangin at the crib chilling with your mama ya mama. Never fronted you never brought the drama the drama. Now you flipped the script PLAYA PLEATHE!”
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
LMFAOOO
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
@Jay Mako
She brought it on herself🤣🤣🤣
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Did they use the same lisp generating machine on “the thex was spectacular”?
Not lisp generating machine 😂😂
“Thpectacular”
Not throwing a hot plate of kfc on someone might help girl groups stay together.... just saying
Preach
PERIOD!!!!! Say it a little louder for the people in the back with selective hearing and memory!!
Was it adrienne who threw it or her?
@@leedang3780 NO it was this piece of trash Kiely that did it! Kiely had Adrienne lie and say it was her niece that did it accidentally!! Everybody knew it was a lie though!
@@shannonp7338 you weren't there so how do you know she was lying , why do you feel the need to drag this woman down ? Why does seeing her get hate pleasure you ? Seems like the only piece of trash here is you , get all the facts before taking stands on issues you didnt witness .
This song is so nostalgic to me! My friends and I "performed" 'No More' at our 5th grade talent show and I sang Kiely's verse. She has
a lovely voice, lisp or not! I do remember noticing the lisp in that verse back then, so it is kinda funny to hear it addressed 21 years later.
If y'all haven't heard "FEELIN' YOU" by 3LW, do so. It is BOMB!
Yes!! And neva get enuf ft lil Wayne
I grew up with 3lw, still love their songs today
I’ve been obsessed with that song since it dropped 🔥
My FAV song by them ❤️❤️❤️
YESS!!
She don't have a lisp but her "s" are suspect even when she is speaking
Yeah, it's like something concerning her mouth and teeth interacting when she speaks.
It will always be Promithes, Promithes...no need to keep correcting this part of my childhood lol
Thank you it’s part of most of our childhood leave it alone
Shawty tryna auto-tune our memories...not👏🏽today👏🏽satan!🤣
“This is your legacy how do you feel about this 🧐” 💀💀💀💀
KFC chicken lookin'at her like: 🙄🙅🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
😂😂😂
Raven symone stay clowning kiely
i still hear a slight lisp, but yeah she's essentially saying she was off key lol
Their first 2 albums are underrated. This goes out, never get enough, and Aint no maybe... are my top favs from 3LW
@Jesse VieyraThis goes out is my jam!! You know the jams, they have a list of good songs that weren't recognized a lot. I think the drama overshadowed the marketing of the Girl Can Mack album
"Do It", "Ocean", "Crush on You".
The first album was a double platinum hit. What are you talking about?
Mines is I do wanna get close to you and no more baby imma do right! Was favorite song from 3lw!😊
She seems a little un-centered and troubled... I don't think she's truly happy in her life now... She never had the career she wanted
Karma
@@jesusiscoming6817 lol...but what did she do wrong in her past?
Who is fully happy though we all have our own problems to focus on when you focus on others so called problems you don't fix your own shit so
@@jarricah7920 are you referring to me? Of course I fix my own problems and work on myself daily..as a result I rarely have the kinds of problems most people have...I landed on this video, watched it, recognized the person in the video and gave my opinions on her...that's it
Big reach for someone you don't know!
I absolutely love this song and the way it sounds with a lisp! I wouldn't want it to sound any other way! 💖
ALL 6th GRADE my whole class; "PROMITHES PROMITHES"
I feel kinda bad she gets dragged for that because 3LW definitely had their MOMENT, and it was HUGE...Sad that she became a mean girl and sabotaged herself with those horrible solo songs.... but hopefully she can come back, she's still beautiful.
She a Cancer zodiac
3lw wasn’t huge😂
@@reggiemitchell5198 they kinda were no more and playas gone play was huge singles their first album went platinum the down fall was the drama with Naturi so the second album flopped but they were definitely on there way if it wasn’t for the drama.
@@reggiemitchell5198 their
@@tygadewayne yeah but see I don’t count that as huge. Now those 2 singles really put them on the map
The fact that she's mostly known for "promithes promithes" says a lot.
She’s actually likable here n on the show. Lmao I like that she doesn’t take herself too serious.
Yeah I thought after everything we’ve heard that I wouldn’t like her but I actually really think she’s coming across well. Although I’ve only seen episode 1
i agree with you. I watched the show and she is very humble and it seems like she mature now
True just don't piss her off she might throw a bucket of chicken at you 😩😂
@@flyaries1188 hahahaha
Girllll you still have a lisp... You being off key & having a lisp can simultaneously be true.
Not them playing the sex was spectacular lmao 😂
I would have rather put out that i had a lisp than i couldn't hit my notes. Do you know how many times they had to redo that verse before they just said forget it, we will just fix it on the machine??
Well... she knows she isnt a great vocalist. She says it all the time.
I mean that's exactly what she did do...back then...when it counted.
😂😂😂🤣
it's like she does a whole new voice (energetic valley girl voice) to hide her lisp but you still kinda hear it.. it's kinda creepy that she lies about something so little, like having a lisp.
Why does a lisp matter to you who cares
Sociopath
so basically she "can barely sing her damn self" in my trick daddy voice.
People stay hating on Kiely. You guys constantly criticize her about something that happened 19 years ago. Let that sink in. 19 years. You weren't there so why are you so invested in some old drama? The reality is Naturi was always dark skinned so that couldn't be the sole reason why she was kicked out of the group. If that were the case they never would have chosen her in the first place. Also people constantly bully Kiely and think it's okay but when Naturi was supposedly bullied that was bad. The hypocrisy. These women have all moved on from that. Let Kiely live. If you don't like her then don't watch videos of her.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Right!!!!
Exactly. They can go on somewhere.
😂😂😭 you can literally hear it as she is speaking now 😂😂
Y'all Kiely is becoming succsessful. She's on a BET Reality show, she's doing good for herself. That's the reason why she is interviewing for that show's promo
Exactly. Hopefully people stop shading her
I mean I'm not sure if I would call this successful just yet. More like one last chance at sustaining some kind of fame.
@@Tigerkem shes not for it anymore tbh. She will make an appearance here and there but what she really wants is to be a mom and live a normal life. She's already been in the industry before. She doesn't have to be forever.
@@dwainesworld1019 I mean if she wants to live a normal life, then why join a reality tv show. That's literally signing up for attention.
@@Tigerkem who knows. but after her insta live people were shading her. maybe that's why she did it. I do think after this she probably wont be on anymore shows
“I’m taking myself out of the equation” that line seems familiar ❤️
She is awesome
She is so beautiful I love kiely! She look even better now still was beautiful then
Agreed 👍
@@visionsofasia1649 facts 💯👍🏿
It's hard not 2 have a lisp when u have a gap like da. Be proud girl and represent!
The lisp is iconic girl, just go with it. 😩
Hey ! I love her lisp in that song
Makes it much more fun, it’s unique
🎶💕
I love Kiely she's iconic imo
I died and went to heaven when the seth was spectacular came on
The Seth💀💀💀literally
But I thought I remembered her SPEAKING with a lisp, too.???🤔🤔🤔
I thought so too up until the cheetah girls 2 when her teeth got corrected
@@Phillybags Yep! And other people in the comment section remember it too! She's lying. We got a SZA on our hands! 😂
She did 😂
Tbh (to be honest) I really believe that after she had that experience with 3lw, she thought that it could really help her career, but I really believe that karma got her and it taught her that what she did was wrong. Now I believe that she learned her lessons and I hope she do better and be successful in the future.
Same. i see a lot of potential in her and i like to give people second chances even when they mess up really bad.
What did she do
@@rhondashelton2432 you should watch some tea videos about it. She was very negative towards the bandmates in both bands she was in.
*NO. IM. NOT. THE. ONE.*
Say it again say say it say it again
Thought I wouldn’t care for Kiely on the show, BUT I am thoroughly enjoying what she’s giving. Not to mentioned she danced her a** off in that pilot episode!
Kiely is a fantastic dancer.
I know she was glad to get this one interview after so many years.
Yeah she talked about this on her IG that she couldnt sing so the protocols ended up giving her a lisp to fix her singing
She killed her performance on that BET show. She definitely still has that stage presence. I would definitely pay to see them perform.🤟🤟
"I'm getting a little tired of your broken promithes promithes."
Lisp and everything. Still so beautiful. I’m in love.
if that was the case how tf does she explain "The Thex was Thpectacularrrr" ???
We need a season 2 with all of them back that show was good 😊
Song was still 🔥
Why is she so hesitant to admit that she has a lisp…she STILL has it
The thex was spetecular
😂😂😂
😂😂😂
@@Lylo455 I didn't want to say it so I searched for the comment.
To be fair, she never said promithes. She literally says promises both times. What are yall hearing?
Nobody ever made her that damn drink 😩
It’s 2021 and I’m still waiting for a 3LW reunion 😩
"When they went to correkth my vocalsss, they gave me a lithsp" 🤦🏼♀️
I loved that song regardless. Kiely parts was my favourite 🥰
I love kiely, have followed her on IG for a good while. Shes comfortable in her skin, laid back, shes says whats on her mind and doesnt gaf about people and their shit... I stan Kiely
I love you!!!!!!!!! You inspired me as a kid😊
Always noticed this and I thought it was cute! But always wondered why it was in the song and she didn’t really have one in interviews or anything. Makes perfect sense lol. Nothing is wrong with having a lisp & people choosing to make fun of those with one is ridiculous!
we love the lisp! it makes the song all that more betta!
So that must mean she couldn't really sing, atleast back then. Doesn't sound like the backing vocals to that song has autotune. Really makes me think that Naturi was the only one with the real vocals in the group. Now the beef all makes sense.
She never had the natural talent. Remember her family had ties to the music industry. There's that interview where she just turned on the TV and saw the pop stars of the day, and said "hey, I could do that too". So basically just having the means of doing it. That's it, that's all.
She's said it herself that she's not the best singer ever. Her first verse on the single "Do It" was fire though and her main role in the group was "dancing". She's a fantastic dancer, her choreo from "Never Get Enough" tells it all.
The song at 1:55 is Kiely Williams - Make Me A Drink
She has a beautiful smile ❤️ Ageless and timeless beauty
Agree but she still definitely has a lisp.
Why ppl tripping ma'am this a hit for ever no one created no more music like this so appreciate lil mo hun
I was 31 years old when I found out she doesn’t have a lisp
Because she did have a lisp, tell the truth and shame the devil 🥰❤️🖤💚
Tay money is proud of her lisp, kiely be proud of yours
Lmao
I'm glad she did this 4 you all that hasn't stopped commenting it
Somebody go interview Chris Brown for “Yo (Excuse me miss)” and ask him why he said “…girl you got my ATTENTHIN you making me wanna say yo” 😂😂
💀
We didn't use Auto-Tune. We just used the rack unit built by the creators of Auto-Tune with built-in Auto-Tune and to confuse you I'm gonna refer to it by its brand name and not the model number.
It was the Antares AVP-1 btw
Idky I love this girl. I'm glad she's coming around and we're getting to see her again as a performer.
Girl come on, you still have it alittle, be proud, your beautiful
I really thought I wouldn’t like kiley on the show but I ended up liking her. She seams much more mature now. Also she is absolutely stunning! I respect that she stood up for people who had a speech impediment and deal with that everyday. I never laughed at the memes never thought it was funny as I know people struggle with that daily.
Kiely looks very beautiful, I've always been fascinated by her beauty actually. Speaking about her lisp, she definitely had some sort of a lisp even though she's somehow right, in her verse from that song it was extremely accentuated. Her lips isn't so strong and evident when you listen to her speaking during interviews at that time. Nevertheless, she should be proud of her lisp, it's exactly what made "No More" iconic, the whole comment section on YT is about her, after 20 years the song and the "lisp" are memorable.
The sound then was Britney. So she baby talked. I looked up an old interview with 3LW and yep, she has a slight lisp. Which I hear now. Why not just own it, it's cute.
Totally agree with Kiely. I'm a woman with many responsabilities too and thank God for that! ❤😊
When she’s says they she really means me😂
@2:02 the moment ET chose violence
She did have a lisp you can hear it in her raps too
Why is she lying though? Strange... she did say Promitheth..
I really like her she's direct and i do believe her that its only on that one song she has a lisp because i can barely hear it then and now. If she does have one it is barely there but clearly the word (promises) is iconic now 😂
