I've heard 'kuh-leese' (for years now) and 'kee-less' (on the radio recently). Some one help!

Thanks for the answers so far. I have actually attempted to contact Kelis herself via myspace. We'll see what she says. I'll post her answer if I get one...

You're right! It's like kuh - leese! I saw her on 106 yesterday. It's a mixture of both her parents names! Here's some additional info from the wikipedia! :
Kelis Rogers was born in the Harlem neighborhood of Manhattan, New York. Her father, Kenneth, was a black jazz musician and a Pentecostal minister; her mother, Eveliss, was a fashion designer, who inspired her to pursue her singing career. "Kelis" is a combination of her father's and mother's names. Kelis' name is pronounced 'Kuh-Leese'. Kelis' father is African-American and her mother is of Puerto Rican and Chinese descent.
