I like it for some reason.

I don’t think anyone is acusing Keri of not being able to sing, its just that her vocal styling and tone is no different from a number of R&B chicks out here. you don’t have to have a BIG voice to stand out, examples Kelis- not great singer by any means but definitely recognizable,Rihanna has a distinctive voice (thats why she blew up and teirra Mari and Christina Millian didn’t, that and good song choices) and the annoylingy oversing Keisha Cole, when you hear her whaling and crying you know its her. If I heard this on the radio I could think of a number of chicks I would have mistaken this for…but I digress. I like the song, its not what I expected from Keli Hilson (with the Timaland/Polow da don connection) but its a hit no less.

oh by the way “Miscommunication” was not produced by Timbaland people read you Cd booklets.

this song is good… her image is even better… i love that pic

i like the song..but its not her best. love ya and where did he go was fire. this doesnt have that fire..that i wanna play it back to back fire, as those did. still i will purchase the album but she will def have to drop a second single before sep 23rd cuz its no crazy in love..

Cute song! Nice production!

I like this song and I think Keri is absolutely gorgeous, but I don’t love her hairstyles lately. They look very retro, but not in a fly way.

She’s still dope though!

Yep I thought I was the only that liked “Love Ya” and “Miscommunication”. Those were my jams but I did here a snippet of “Your Cover’s Blown” that song is fyah too.

Oh Atlanta…we are so tired of the fricken 90’s trance synths, fake Timbaland triple time Hi Hats and tired ass 808 drums. .. This song is as plain as they come. This could have been sung by Cherish, Rhiana, Jordin Sparks**(who can actually blow) , Ciara or any of the other female artists out there. ***Miscommunication is a monster and shame on Jimmy Iovine for putting out “Scream” from Shock Value and trying to resuscitate wack ass Nichole Scherzinger’s non-career, instead of putting out Miscommunication and setting up Keri’s album properly.

I really like this girl, she’s got a great a voice, she’s a really promising song writer and she’s absolutely gorgeous. She SMOKES all of her peers. But this song…is… generic and bland. It’s sad because we are expecting something really huge and different from her but she just keeps regurgitating what she’s already done for so many other artists and it sounds tired. First she released the wackness that was.. “Henny and Apple Juice”, and its gone down hill from there.

This song isn’t even finished…NO Bridge? A big ass empty 8 bars at the 2 minute mark in the track. Come on Kerri we know you can do better !

GREAT songwriter! OK artist! There I SAID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This chick is oooogly as hell.
She needs to get rid of that Bird NOSE first.

The single is ok but I like Lindsy Lohan song called Bossy. Keri has nothing on Pop Girls.

this song is mad whack! with all the heat timbaland was giving her, she and her label chose this as a first single??? come on keri!

I like it in the beginning it sounds like its Amerie or something but its a good song i like it I might even buy her album

first of all, it sounds like “No Air” but most of all it’s overthought. Every last word of every line is easily predictable b/c she’s only using typical rhyme schemes: energy, chemistry, enemy, toll on me. This bored me and I know she can sing. I’ve liked her since the song with Lloyd Banks.

And her voice seems “indistinguishable” b/s she’s purposely toning it down. Her natural voice sounds just like Beyonce’s. It’s why Timbaland hooked up with her in the first place. Go and listen to the Lloyd Banks record. It should be on youtube, if you’ve never heard it. She sings in her natural voice.

This record is HOT!! Crazy lyrics! I’ve been waiting for this girl to do her own thing for a minute. She’s out to blow up now!

i love keri hilson i cant wait till her cd come out i love her songs she has such a beautiful voice!!!!!!
luv her! lol

LOVE, LOVE LOVE IT!!!! KERI IS HOT! HAD TO PUT MY CAPS ON FOR THIS ONE! CAN’T WAIT TO HEAR MORE FROM HER.

@S. Swoon

sounding like Beyonce’ is exactly what we mean by “indistinguishable”,
you kinda just proved our point.

but ok like i said the girl can sing, but so…
i mean i like the song what else do you want from me, it’s just my opinion

song is good just not a fan …yet

I honestly dont like the song I’m not a fan of her voice its just boring

good song! love keri!

its about time we got some real talent.

I have to keep it real. I just do not like this girl. The reason why is because CL has hyped her up for a while now. Everyone is so into her because they think she’s pretty and because she has worked behind the scenes as a songwriter and underground singer. She seems like another R&B singer who has a moderate voice and okay singles and sells her look and sex appeal very suttlely. I’m just fed up with all these good enough female singers or singers who can get by on looks and R&B/Pop songs

examples Ciara, Ashanti, Rihanna, Christina Milian, Nicole Scherzinger

Female singers now-a-days are all the same

Everyone is saying that Keri sounds like every other R&B chick (Ashanti, Amerie, Nicole, etc.) and that may be true….but Keri can actually hold a note live. She’s been grinding for years for her shot and her time has now come. She deserves it! I’ve been in a few sessions with her and she’s a perfectionist. Each take, she made sure she got every note the way she wanted it…and the end product is going to be amazing. We have to support our Black artists folks!!!!! Take a look at the numbers, Hip-hop and R&B are two of the top three genres that are seeing the biggest decline in sales. Black music is dying! Let’s support our new artists (Keri, Karina Pasian, Jazmine Sullivan) that have albums dropping this year!

@99.
F the Haters

Black music has died because all(majority) blacks do is bootleg music, they don’t buy music like their white counterparts. Ashanti, Amerie, Nicole, etc. all appeal to the white crowd and they don’t give 2 ish about blacks because all (majority) blacks do is bootleg.
So don’t go around blaming ish on music. Now you can remove Ashanti and Amerie from the equation cause the girls can sing.

You have to be crazy to say that Ashanti can sing. Black people do buy music, although majority download. I buy music and I’m Black and it’s not just white people that are buying albums so don’t overgeneralize.

I’m in love. Awesome track, great vocals and amazing production!

No I’m not crazy, I’ve heard Ashanti sing live and I do have to admit that before she sound like she was cracking up but she has taken vocal lessons and it shows in her live performances. So the girl can sing, everyones just stuck on the past.

Blacks put their own kind the most before you see white folks doing it.

#94 I hear you, but not exactly. I meant to say she sounds like Beyonce is Beyonce’s voice was “pretty.” I just didn’t go there because I didn’t want to turn this into a Beyonce vs. Keri thing. Her natural voice is like a smoother version of Beyonce’s which would make her stand out from the rest of the singers now, he way Fantasia’s voice is reminiscent of Aretha’s, yet stands out.

I disagree about AMERIE, her voice is clearly distinctive, you instantly recognize her raspy voice.

Black people buy music, that’s why Anthony Hamilton and Lyfe Jennings (who arent mainstream) went platinum with almost no promotion whatsoever. Black people probably buy almost as much “proportionally” but since we represent 12% of the population it doesn’t seem that way.

Black music is dying because Jimmy Iovine and “Lip Gloss and Curl” -> LA Reid keep recycling and regurgitating the same tired songwriters, producers and formulas on every record. The 2000’s have sucked as far as black music goes…Its a novelty when you hear live instruments, or a singer with no auto-tune, or a track that does more than loop every eight bars. The ones that can stretch a little further are pigeon holed into being neo soul or old school. And rightfully so because NEARLY EVERY singer and rapper now a days can be traced back to an original source.. They are all clones of clones of clones. Why do you think we hold so dearly to the our Steve Wonders, Princes and Michel Jackson’s ? Because other than a few similarities you cant trace their music, style and swag back to anyone else . Even the 90’s with its sappy Baby face ballads, Boy bands and Cross Colors had way more soul than this current crop. At least they could sing !!!

This is the sing over a drum beat, loop the chorus, Pro Tools, soft synth generation and I’m glad the 2000’s are almost over. Maybe we can have some fresh new music in 2011.. if threes a music industry left.

I like this song. I just hope that “Love Ya” makes the album cause that is my jam.

@106

Good to hear the both sold a million. People buy what they like. I can remember the heyday of CD’s here in California we had “The Warehouse”, “Block Buster Music” and Virgin stores…I can’t count how many times I would pay $18.99 for a new CD and ¾ of the album was trash.. You just cant keep ripping people off with half ass efforts then expect them to keep shelling out money.. Especially now a days with gas and the cost of living.. Your damn right I’m gonna check out a boot-leg or download it at my friendly Torrent site to see if they came with it.. If is sounds Right I’ll head over to Wal-Mart or Best Buy and catch an $11.99 ALL DAY. I like to see who produced, mixed and mastered and album. Reading the album credits are part of the experience. I coped Timbalands last joint that way because it was fire ! You bring heat you get my money if not sell that shit to the next sucker !

Keri we love you but I hope you deliver the goods. CL has been pumping you up like your the next young girl.. so we’re expecting no less than a Brandy “Never say Never”, or Aliyah One in a Million…NEW, Fresh and innovative !

Hot song, but Brian, why does your version have a bridge when the one on Amazon.com that I paid for has 8 bars of empty track? That’s messed uuuuup.

Nice song can’t wait 2 hear more of the album. But you can tell that Usher’s artist Rico Love wrote Energy. I want to hear Return the Favor since Keri actually wrote it herself.

They really should’ve saved Miscommunication for Keri’s album since they didn’t make it a single on Shock Value and that should’ve been her first single because Miscommuncation is a banger, this song is good but just doesn’t really stand out much.

Also about the bootlegging comment, I download the CDs when they leak and if they come with it I buy it. Love/Hate, Ms. Kelly, Once Again, Welcome to the Dollhouse, As I Am all got purchases at Target for $9.99 the week the came out. But trash like Here I Stand gets the download and the delete.

i l0ve dis s0nq

I listened to it. Not impressed sounds like Beyonce.

I like Keri alot!! I love the song and here vocals! She will be the only new artist that I will support so far!

Keri’s amaaazing, u jus gotta love her!! she looks great

this song is generic and forgettable. it sounds like some shit rihanna would sing. keri, i thought you were going to come harder than this! please go back to the studio and cook up something hotter.

Dang get off Beyonce behind for at least one day just one. Love Keri and her voice, not feeling the song however. I think she and Ne-yo have the same problem, they give their best material to other artists.

Yess she shittin all over the game with this one. I love her she has such a voice on her.

cant wait to hear her album…energy is about to be on heavy rotation, it feels that good.

ITS SETTLED KERI! RELEASE ‘Miscommunication’ AS A SINGLE AND DROP THIS SORRY SHIT>

MISCommunication, Miscommunication. No one cared about Scream’s Nicole Shchreoinoingsd whatever her name is .

Keri Hilson has a stank personality! We share a similar friend! I’ve had to deal with her ranting about herself 24/7. theres nothing humble about this chick! I’ve been hearing this song for like two months now, cute song, but knowing her personally turns me off from what ever she does. She’ll do great in the industry because she’s 100% stuck on herself! she does work hard, but when you’re around her you always end up rolling your eyes when she steps out!

@107 and 109

tooo true…in this economy who has the extra cash to throw away on mindless trash???
I also think that what music is lacking is emotion and heartfelt lyrics
Everything now is “…call the paramedics to come thru i can’t breathe…” and about “shawty’s swag” and rockin ” Dior bottom jeans”…

where is themusic we can ALL relate too?

honestly Beyonce last CD …how long did that get play in ya CD or MP3 player?
it was completely disposable rap singing and screeching trash, aside for “irreplacible.”
how many times have we bought a Ray J, Mario, Omarion,Ciara,Rihanna or Chris Brown CD based on the hype and took a listen and instantly regretted our purchase?

I REALLY LIKE THIS SONG ITS HAS IPOD POTENTIAL

this has been all over the web in the past few days and I love it

The song it just ok

I think we have a winner!!!!! If she comes with more quality songs, I may just buy her album.

As someone who likes pop, r&b, gospel, some alternative rock, I can say this song is wack. I listen to every Keri song CL post, because of the hype and I really don’t see what all the fuss is about her. There is noting special about her or this song imo.

OKAY, KERI IS ALRIGHT, BUT SHE IS STILL FORGETTABLE. SHE REALLY STILL NEEDS TO STICK WITH WRITING, SHE’S KINDA LIKE A FEMALE NEYO, SONG WRITING SKILLS ARE GREAT FOR EVERYBODY ELSE, BUT YET AND STILL WHERE IS HIS FIRST #1 HIT? HE HASN’T HAD ONE, WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT’S PROBABLY GONNA HAPPEN TO MS. HILSON IF SHE DOESN’T PICK THE RIGHT SONGS TO PUT OUT. RADIO AND MUSIC IS SO BORING AND PREDICTABLE RIGHT NOW, SHE IS GONNA HAVE TO COME EXTREMELY HARD IF SHE DOESN’T WANT TO GET LOST IN THE MIX.

BEST OF LUCK TO HER THOUGH

^^^^^^^Ne-Yo’s Stargate-produced second single “So Sick” reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart….GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT BEFORE YOU START POSTIN NONSENSE

I AGREE WITH THE PERSON WHO SAID “IT IS CUTE…BUT I DON’T THINK IT WOULD BE SOMETHING I WOULD LISTEN TO EVERYDAY” I AM TO LAZY TO SCROLL AND FIND WHO SAID IT.

im feelin that out fit she killed it with the fitted jacket i like her music i think shes a unique artist and singer

I LOVE the chorus.

Thank God yall posted the version of this song that actually has a bridge….Keri’s Dope the song is Dope, I can’t Wait for In a Perfect World…

While I respect her and her grind with the writing…I think this song was rather bland.

She had a lot of time and a lot of writing chops…she could’ve done better. This song does not SCREAM!

I feel like she coulda came harder but its okay. MISCOMMUNICATION from Timbo’s Shock Value was my shit tho! lol

(to #124) Ciara’s past two albums weren’t at all regretted when i bought em. I feel like they were a better investment than “B’Day” hands down!!!!!!! They both had more substance and got better with each album. AND Ciara’s “Fantasy Ride” is gonna be 10x better! Jus wait til “High Price” f. Ludacris comes out next week!

OH I’M SORRY JUKU, I MISSED THE “1″ NUMBER 1 SINGLE HE HAD LIKE 2 YEARS AGO. PLEASE GET OVER IT

REGARDLESS @ #139, YOU OBVIOUSLY DIDNT KNOW YOUR FACTS,,NEYO BEEN GOT A NUMBER #1 SINGLE FOR HIMSELF ON HIS FIRST ALBUM..”SO SICK” WENT NUMBER ONE..AND NEYO ALSO HAS ALOT OF TOP 20 HITS !!

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

KERI u ARe IT!!!

I somehow like the repetition, unlike the other songs like MUSHY flashing lights, Ciara ft Ludacris high price, and Ne-yo closer. This song has many repetiitons but it is sooooo catchy, and this girl is on her way to the thrown….

TY

great song..love it.

Quoted from SHAZ_THE_ONE
“Guess I’ll continue wearing out Timbaland’s “Miscommunication.” That’s the direction they should be going in for Keri’s sound.”

I NEED TO GET OUT…

ugh that is my song… she lace that track wit so good crack… i like bumming it now on a mp3 cd.

OVERALL

Keri is the best canidate for a crossover artist and she is more marketible then ne-yo and the dream. it’z a dog eat dog world and this girl already has her dukes up and swinging fullforce into the entertiament industry {refer. to her song concept: ENERGY}. she is [scratch that]… SHE WILL be on top in the R&B game since Bee Almighty [Beyonce] is stepping down for a minute. she couldn’t of choose a better time to get started. IDK what else i can say. she my everything right now…. i even got my friends hooked on her [ WHERE DID YOU GO & HANDS AND FEET] and they cant get enought. IN A PERFECT WORLD.. will be a hot album “NOT” to bootleg and copy… so you know im buying one already!!!
