♫ Keri Hilson – Energy
Keri Hilson recently shot the video for her first single, “Energy,” directed by Melina. I’m really excited to see what they came up with. In the video, Keri portrays a boxer with her boyfriend as her trainer. It should be pretty interesting.
Keri will walk the video to both MTV and BET on Monday, with friend, mentor and collaborator, Timbaland. Her debut album, In A Perfect World… drops on September 23rd. I’m super happy for Keri, it’s been a long time coming!
TEAIRRA MARI’S NEW DEAL CONFIRMED
Recently, a couple of songs have leaked from Teairra Mari. She has a new single out, titled “No No No,” which she’s been pumping out but it definitely could use some more promotion. But it’s been confirmed that since being dropped from Roc-A-Fella after her debut album, Teairra has inked a new deal with Interscope Records, via Fo Real Entertainment, Managed by Cudda Love, whose roster includes Nelly.
“I got a call before my high-school graduation,” recalls Mari. “I kept it to myself for about six months; I didn’t even tell my mom. Then news about it started coming out on the radio. I stopped doing music for a year.”
Teairra, who plans to release her sophomore album late this year or at the top of 2009, had her first single “Make Her Feel Good” peak at #9 on Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, while her first album, Roc-A-Fella Records Presents Teairra Mari reached #2 on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and #5 on The Billboard 200. The release has sold 248,000 units, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
Spending time with family as she regrouped, Mari was introduced to Cudda Love. He brought her to Los Angeles, where she cut several songs and eventually signed with his company. Mari’s production collaborators on her sophomore set include Timbaland, J.R. Rotem and Nephew and seems really confident about where she is right now.
“I’m at a good point now, with more creative control to be Teairra Mari,” says the L.A.-based singer/songwriter. “The last time out, I was more concerned about trying to get a platinum album instead of enjoying the journey. I love music and that’s what it’s really about: getting my message across to those who want to hear it.”
i LOVE KERi
Neither one of them do anything for me…..but I wish them well on there projects.
LOVE KERI SHE HOTT…TEAIRRA NEEDS TO GIVE IT UP..MAKE HER FEEL GOOD WAS THE JAM BUT THE REST OF HER MUSIC IS GARBAGE
Welcome back Concreteloop! Its been about 4 years right?? Not feeling this song but hopefully the video makes up for it. I feel like with all the buzz surrounding this girl, she could have come a lot harder but time will tell if shes worthy of all the hype.
Congrats to my girl Keri!
I lover everything she touches.
And thats wassup T.M.
She was cut such a raw
deal with Def Jam.
Glad to see her still
climbing to the top.
* It must’ve been a typo, a typo, a typo*
-LOVE-
Not LOVER..
KERI’S SONG IS PRETTY WACK. TEIRRA MARI WASN’T REALLY THAT SPECIAL TO BEGIN WITH, SO I REALLY DON’T CARE ABOUT HER.
I agree # 2.
The video for Energy looks hot. Too bad the song sucks.
speaking of timbaland, US weekly has his wedding pix! can we get a scan CL? also, i’m glad melina’s getting her work on although i wished the b’day videos were better but i blame that on the short time frame and the budget.
Yeah don’t too much care for her music… she is a great writer though..
I love the song “Energy” I’ve been listening to it since it was spotlighted on the CL, can’t wait for the video!
They both are very pretty women but I still don’t know about T.Mari and her music.She doesn’t have me convinced yet that her album will be worth buying.
GO HEAD KERI LYNN
I love this Keri Hilson song.
Still not overly impressed with any of her solo work except for Misscommunication which was GREAT … But I have faith that her album will have some bangers and some good music. Hope Tim, Powlow and Jimmy dont botch the project. Did I mention that she’s the finest chick in the game right now. Killing Rhianna and the rest. And she’s a Christian so I LOVE HER !
g Good for the young girl Teairra Mari I would’ve rather got 3 albums from her than
Rhinna !
*******Why is my comment in moderation????? this is the 2nd time
This is exactly why I don’t like Keri Hilson. She seems like your average R&B singer of today. Maketable look, cute voice, average R&B song, and sells sex in a “classy” way. This girl will be all about image. The song sucks big time.
Teairra… oh NO NO NO! Why is this b**ch coming back? She is so untalented and her music and image are wack! A friend of mine who lived in Detroit even told me how everyone was saying how rude and stuck up she was when Make Her Feel Good hit radio. She just seems like an average ghetto black chick who luckily got signed.
Keri’s song is different. She was smart about the type of sound, because that song will be played on pop stations (more $ when you can appeal to the “masses” ask timbaland). Keri and Solange look too much alike.
cant wait to see the keri video…
Ms. T.Mari your from detroit (like me) so i know your strong about the situation…i wish you much success,you have come a long way.
T TM-so happy to have you back sweetie, can’t wait for your album!! My daughters’
a absolutely love her, I think alot of people should just try to support instead of
trying to put down, I mean honestly at least give the girl a shot to try to make her
dreams come true.
Keri-do your thing girl! Just wait I bet the movie offers are going to start coming in,
t the camera loves her. Love you girls XOXO Thicky
lll
TEIRRA MARI claiming LA now????????????
Thats F’ed up.
N obody want to put the D on the map.
So I guess it will have to be ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
POTLUCK THE OFFICIAL ALBUM COMING SOON.
YALL NEED TO GET ON THEM BOTH..LOVIN THESE GIRLS!! CANT WAIT FOR BOTH ALBUMS!!
That belt looks a hell alike to the old WWE belt back in the 90′s
Loves Keri! HOT song! I definately plan to pick up her album…
it’ll be cool to see how keri’s video goes with the song cuz right now i dont get it
keri is gorgeous
she kinda resemble teairra mari tho
Keri’s album is going to flop.. As for the other chick, I’m not so sure about yet..
Check out the UK remix it’s crazy http://www.zshare.net/audio/153138609191f18d/
the remix posted above sounds way better than the original, is that being released as well?
BTW. Who’s Boy Wundah???
….I agree w/ #2. Keri blah and Ms. Mari blah. Idk. Keri is talented but she should be
….to be in the music industry and Ms. Mari…blah lol
Keri is going to be showing her video today on 106. Keri is gorgeous and talented, she will succeed. Don’t mind the stans they are afraid. Which is why they try this scare tactic of saying she will flop. Ish is getting old. Keri is a talented songwriter and singer. If Neyo made it so can Keri.
IS IT JUST ME OR DOES MS TEAIRRA LOOK LIKE LELA ROCHON (ROBIN FRO WAITING TO EXHALE)??
JIGGA DROPPED HER ASS FOR RIHANNA AND HER CAREER CANT NEVA RECOVER. JAY-Z GOT THE TOP PRIZE WIFE BEYONCE, AND RI RI IS HIS #1 GURL PROFESSIONALLY. THIS IS THE EXACT SAME THING THAT HAPPENED TO THAT RAPPER AMIL, DAT CHICK WAS LYK THE ROC’S FIRST LADY AND LOOK WAT HAPPENED TO HER. AMILS ONLY ALBUM FLOPPED, SHE GOT PREGNANT AND DEY DROPPED HER…WHICH WAS UNFAIR CUZ SHE ACTUALLY HAD SOME TALENT!! AND LIKE AMIL, TEAIRRA ENDED UP WORKIN IN A STORE OR SOMETHING.
LOL BOTH LADIES NEED A COLLABORATE 2 SHOW THE ROC DAT DEY CAN DO IT WITHOUT DEM.
Umm…CL you really need to fix your site. It is getting difficult to read half of what you can’t see.
Keri’s single might as well have been the first Olivia single…don’t like it at all… but like her voice.
“Teairra Mari” is over…somewhere Lady of Rage has a deal too…nobody cares.
I agree with number 2 big fuss over 2 chicks that aint all that. Nothing distintive about either of them. T.M though she wass all that when she got the deal with Roc, she got all the hype and Rhi didn’t and look what happened. I prefere Rhi, she has more of a distinctive voice.
I love Keri
glad to see her doing her thang!
CHECK OUT THE EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH SINGER, SONGWRITER, EXTRAORDINAIRE
RYAN LESLIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Only at http://theantandmikeshow.blogspot.com
-Ant
watch out the keri hilson spelling
anybody wrote hislon instead hehe
Ask Busta why he got dropped from Interscope…you’ll be surprised.
T.Mari’s new single is called “No,No”…one too many No’s there. Glad she was able to over come her situation.
And I liked Keri back in 2007 when some of the songs she recorded were leaked like, “Happy Juice”, and “High Heels”. Not really feeling the “Energy” track and her outfit at the BET Awards was WACK! Hope single #2 is better…..
I can’t wait to see Keri Hilson’s video!
Keri Hilson is a talented songwriter and vocalist. However, not too many songwriters have successful projects on their own. But I wish her the best.
As for Terror Mari. Her style does nothing for me. She doesnt have a memorable personality. I cant say she has that “star” quality. Her vocal skills are definately questionable. But, I wish this sistah the best.
Like Keri she seems to have a nice spirit and comes accross as humble
But her album will flop. Know why ? Because no one outside of the
Wanna be producer, songwritter, artist circle’s knows who she is.
I asked my girl (who is a plane jane music fan) .. if she knew who she was
and she had no clue. Then I said its the chick from “the way I are” off Timbo’s
album…and all she remembered was Tim saying “Red American express ”
And did not pay attention to –as she put it the “backround singers”
Them I played energy in the car and asked her to guess who it was..
First she said Beyonce, then Kelly Rowland, then Ciara…when I finnaly told her
she shrugged her shoulders and said it was wack anyway.
keri is gorgeous
somebody take that teirra mary homegirl to college
KERI HILSON IS JUST LIKE THE KANDI BURUSS OF 2008. KANDI WAS IN THE GIRLGROUP XSCAPE AND WROTE LOADS OF SONGS FOR TLC, DESTINY’S CHILD, PINK, MYA, ETC. SHE VENTURED OUT INTO THE SOLO WORLD AND SHE DIDN’T EXACTLY MAKE A BIG IMPACT.
I LOVE BOTH GIRLS, BUT I PRETTY MUCH SEE KERI HAVING THE SAME FATE, UNFORTUNATELY.
This song is sooooooo amazing! Love you Keri! I found this vid where someone plays “Energy” on the piano http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfH8lR1fvRM
It’s beautiful just like Keri. Oh and the vid just premiered on 106 & Park. She looked stunning. Timbaland was there too and he said that he thinks the 3 females killing the game right now are Beyonce, Rihanna and Keri….
keri has a great body so she’s look good in the vid but the song sucks
Why must y’all hate so damn hard? Keri is gorgeous, and actually TALENTED…and to NUMBER # 44 .so what who is you’re friend supposed to be? that’s one friend anyway. Keri Hilson name is shining and little by little people are starting to recognize her. Alot of you on here are black females…stop hating on another black female getting her money. She’s great, I have faith in her and wish her album the best!
A boxing vid for a ballad is an interesting choice… I’m lookin forward to it.
Tierra’s New Deal is gonna help her any more than FDR’s helped us, I’m afraid…
isn’t
Yes Teairra better get it bitch! Knock that heffa Rihanna out and get yo top spot! Come on, you in for it now Rihanna!!!! Love Keri’s new video too. She better bring the fire too.
jus saw keri’s video loved LOVED LOVED IT…..
THE WAY SHE MOVED WAS RAW….LOL SHE IS DOPE
terria mari um…i lyked her first cd well at least i liked a couple songs off it act right phone booth ya kno but i dnt kno how well she gon do but i wish her the best of luck…
I think they stole the “Energy” song from me! LOL! look up “Charles-David” on myspace…
How sexy she is…I love her. BTW, I saw her many hot video at a black bbw dating site called blackbbwmeet.com. You can even check out more sexy and beautiful photos, videos and blogs there.
OH my god!!!she is too sexy!!!!!!!
she is always very hot, no matter here or on ………………Blackcentury.com……………………. i read many news about her, also her hot pics and videos
She looks so hoooot! I love her, I am her big fan! Just a question about her, is she single again? I saw her profile on millionaire dating site R I C H L O V I N G.C O M last week. Just curious!
Um… Interscope…or Keri…stop creating screen names and posting positive comments. This song was nearly universally panned when it first appeared here a month ago…. Take it like a G and step it up YOU know this track is trash, the bridge is bland and your vocals are good but nothing new. I’ll support the album because I got faith ! But this song sucks. Sorry
Keri Hilson is hot hot HOT! I’m surprised the single isn’t burning up urban radio already. She can sing and she’s hot! Keri Hilson is the total package.
@41 I totally agree about her BET outfit! What the hell was that? lol
Go Tierra Marie! I’ma fan. I bought her album and it was actually very solid. The girl can sing. I hope to support her next effort as well.
