KERI HILSON COVERS THE FADER MAGAZINE
Monday, January 7, 2008

Keri Hilson covers this month’s issue of The Fader magazine. Just like CL, Keri Hilson is one of the artists that The Fader is very interested in for 2008. The Fader is actually one of my favorite publications — they are pretty good about keeping up with things that are new, hot and on the cusp. So it doesn’t surprise me that they’ve got Keri as their cover feature.
Make sure you pick up your copy of The Fader with Ms. Hilson on the cover, or just punch on over to TheFader.com to download your copy of the issue. The article’s a great read.

She is so pretty to me, I bet if she stop being so shy/modest, she could blow half of these “talented” female artist, out the water. BE AGRESSIVE, BE_BE AGRESSIVE! lol (I’m sorry, I had a blonde moment…So lame of me!) lol

She looks like a mix of Solange and Ciara in this photo but I don’t think she looks like that in the videos.

I love Keri! I hope she drops a hot ablum. There’s been a lot of buzz around her lately. I loved every song she’s written. Hopefully she can write some great songs for herself. Some writes turned singers give away there hits.

Who the hell is this bitch? Does she have an album out?
Ciara, Ashanti or Rihanna should have been on this cover instead

Um… so what is the big deal about Keri? The only song I know of is “the way I are” and that song was ok only b/c of the beat! Will someone please enlighten me?

Hot. I love her eyes, she’s beautiful. Good voice too.
I don’t know if she’s anything AMAZING, but I’d say she’s pretty good as of now.
I’m looking forward to her in ‘08 ♥

Okay, CL…Keri, I loved her on Lloyd Banks’ hook…although her voice is reminiscent of another’s…
BUT, what’s up with the thudding progression of topics? Is it because, as Angel said in the political topic, CL is not a “gossip site” anymore?? Because things seem uber conservative around here…it’s almost as if this is an online magazine, now. ???????????????????????????????????????

Represent for BOTH black women featured this month please!
& to Sista Gurl, FADER rarely if ever features mainstream bull$hit so you’ll be hard pressed to find the crap you’re looking for… so there’s actually a reason you don’t know who these women are… Stick with VIBE girlfriend!

I use to think there was nothing exciting about Keri until I heard that song “Miscommunication” and “Scream” she did her thang on those songs but I hope she don’t release “Henny and Apple Juice” that song is whack to me an not the sound that she should be going for right now,,but this song produced by Timbaland/Danja called “Your Cover’s Blown” is fyah!..lol..anyways much sucess to Keri because she seems to be a very genuine lady that doesn’t take her opportunites for granted

Congrats to her on the cover though; that’s no easy feat.

People are asking who is this bitch?
This is the “bitch” you favorite singer runs to when they need a hit. Keri has penned some of contemporary R&B’s biggest anthems, not ony that the girl can sing better than most of your favourite artists to lol. Mad? Jelous?? I understand why ..lol.

Keri’s a pretty good songwriter, and I’m sure she’s talented in other areas too…but so far, I haven’t seen her “amazing talent” in terms of her singing. Not saying she can’t sing, but she’s only song hooks so far. I have no idea how good of a singer she is or isn’t, at this point.

this has nothing to do with keri but i just wanted to thank CL for adding J. Dakar to the site. celeb gossip is great entertainment but i think we young people also need to be informed on whats important and what really matters. our livelihood which is influenced by politics…

Looked up her songwriting credits and all that jazz, and I must say that the list is pretty impressive. This girl (or woman, I should say) has been doing big things behind the scenes for some time, so this cover seems to be well deserved. Kudos to her

I Agree wit get me bodied, “help” was that Jam…another hit WAS “SCREAM” off of timbaland new album….. is it me or does she sound like aaliyah in that song?
She definitely needs to come out wit a albulm so we can forget about CIARA and all them wannabe “aaliyah’s”

Bill, it’s obvious you are bored cause you are asking dumb questions; it’s obvious you didn’t actually read and comprehend what i said…where did i say i didn’t like her? I said i don’t know her, i’m not really familiar with her music, does she have a cd or single out? What music has she done, i don’t know cause i’m not familiar with her….please read nigga! And for the record, i’m basically a fan of majority of the women posted on here…i know you’re bored cause concreteloop not doing a lot of posting today, but next time please say something that matters, and you can start by actually commenting on the post first before asking other posters questions about their likes and dislikes.
If only people would read first…geez…
Concreteloop is slow today, i mean i’ve been on other sites and have seen a preview of the janet’s feedback video (it looks hot!!!) And i’ve also went to another site and heard a song with lauryn hill and wyclef (though they are not sure if it’s a new collabo)..concreteloop, yaw are slipping….someone in school, cause if so, you get a pass; school work comes first so you get a pass.

I keep hearing that she’s the Next Big Thing. She’s supposed to have been coming out for like 2 years now. I haven’t heard a hit she’s penned and her singing leaves a lot to be desired from what I’ve heard.
I saw a YouTube clip of her at a live showcase and to be honest it was quite pitiful. Less hype, more substance. If she’s got it, she needs to prove it. Otherwise….NEXT!
