  6. pretty_charlie

    it was ok……….luv keri though

  7. D Marvelos 1

    wow..i been a Keri Hilson fan for so long, i just didnt like the video, she looks SOO pretty in it. But i would just expect something more creative out of her, Video and song wise.

  8. Precious75

    I liked the video but I am not feeling the hair at all, I think that she needs to switch up to something else. She has been wearing that mushroom for the longest and she needs a change.

    The song I like, her voice is amazing. I can’t wait to get her CD when it drops.

  9. DAME(Blah)

    I watched her on 106 yesterday and she seems real kind and cool, but when her video came on it couldn’t keep my attention it became background music to me.

  10. LOVE IT! WHIP OUT THE GRAMMY! What a well written song….DAMMIT KERI!!!!!!!!

    Ugh Keri we need to be friends!!!!! I work like 15-20 minutes from Little 5 Points we need to like do coffee or something LOL

  11. Jake Jacobs VI

    Well damn, I AM SO IN LOVE WITH KERI! Good look Brian! Ugh, she is doing her damn thing and she will do better than most. This is her time to shine and she will continue to shine even past what she wants! I wish her all the best and love she can handle personally and professionally!

    Jake Jacobs VI

    P.S. Acting career in the near future, maybe?! LOL

  12. mizgreen

    Keri Hilson is gorgeous. The video is amazing and she has talent. You can tell she’s not some manufactured pop chick. She writes, sings, dances and she looks like she can kick some ass…….. It’s about time Love Keri

  13. Cherry

    that was a really good video..imo..

  14. that haircut is fire.
    i love it.

    the song was nice.
    the video was cute.
    The guy was handsome.

  15. Camille

    I like her, she’s pretty… as far as talented…ummm just a little. I’m not hatin, but I just see it comin where they’ll try to make her the next “IT” girl without her even deserving it. That is what I don’t like.

  16. nite*vision

    maybe it’s just me, but i feel like this song is proof that rihanna has completely lowered our standards for acceptable vocal performances. keri hilson sounds like any random person who can carry a note, but not necessarily SING! cute is cute and it comes a dime a dozed..but can we get some REAL talent.

  17. Camille

    For real NITE*VISION!

  18. Focused1

    The video illustrated the song well, but I still can’t get into the song itself. It sounds so generic to me. But I’m still checking for the album though. I just think they made a bad decision for the lead single.

  19. John

    I really like this song! I agree R&B needs some heavy hitters this year, because it’s starting to get dull with these singers with no energy, imo.

    I feel Keri is a good singer, and will def. keep my eye on her.

  20. Lady Architect

    I enjoyed the song and video. I haven’t really been following Keri’s career, but I do know she was a writer and vocal arranger of many hit songs so I know her writing skills is definitely on point. I’d say she has a better than average voice for pop singing cause many of them can’t sing at all.

    She looks beautiful in the video and her body is cut nicely. I don’t see a problem with her being a little muscular. It just means she works out. I would like to see with a different hair style. Maybe one where her hair is pushed back off of her forehead so we can see her full face.

  21. Cortney

    I’m not feeling her. She sounds like all of the other generic pop in the music biz right now.

  22. fkitty

    She looks SO beautiful. I saw her personals ID on wealthy men for beautiful women site “”"”M e e t i n g W e a l t h y.c o m”"”"”" last week. It is said she is datiing young billionaire on that site. Is she singlle now?
    ????????????????????????????????????

  23. vanilla ice

    she reminds me of ciarra.

  24. UNIQUE

    love the video and the song support keri 100 percent

  25. MRSJONES3

    OOOOOH SHE HAD MY FUTURE HUSBAND IN THAT VIDEO!! THAT’S THE MAIN THING THAT KEPT MY ATTENTION! LOL

  26. Jamie872006

    LOL @ #3

    The video was ok

  27. devon

    it was alright it nice to see she tried some different hairstyles but it wasnt for long…i’m just not into her….that mushroom is killing me…but she is a cute young lady though

  28. London

    The video is blah. It seems to be just an opportunity to show off her body (which is very nice but still). There needs to be an element of both visual and concept…this is just visual…seems like something Mariah Carey would do.

  29. MW09

    I love the song and video…but she definitely needs to change her hairstyle…..

  30. solizzay

    the video is okay. keri gorgeous as usual. the song imo, is IIGHT. maybe it just needs to grow on me

  31. Beyonce = George Bush

    I’m not feeling this song, the video was alright and the only reason why I watched it was because of Chrisitan Keyes, the man is foine.

  32. I’m feeling the song and the vid. She’s a pretty woman. I didn’t know she was dat tall thou. I like it when she told Timbaland she’s going 2 do it her way. In response 2 him saying he expects his artists’ 2 get on dat Beyonce’ level. I luvs sum Beyonce’. How come every1 compares any new artist 2 her? Every1 is unique in their way. Why are there always comparisons?

  33. Jazz

    I’M GONNA NEED FOR HER TO CHANGE THAT WACK HAIRSTYLE PRONTO AND THE SONG IS PRETTY MEDICORE. NOTHING SPECIAL ABOUT IT. I HOPE HER NEXT SINGLE IS BETTER.

  34. This song will mos def crossover.

  35. DAME(Blah)

    @ 35 I think every artist os compared to her because she has set the bar high as far as being an all around entertainer dancing and singing. A. keys is pretty close to that but she can’t dance and I was surprised he mentioned Rihanna???? Timbo said the 3 chicks killing the game are Bee, Rihanna, and Keri I was like what about Alicia?

  36. Toons

    I like the song, the vid was aight. She looks fly in that black and blonde hairstyle.

  37. Mr. West Coast!

    Too muscular? Don’t like the hair? Sounds worse than Rhianna?
    Are we watching the same video…

    The song is CRAZY! She looks GREAT! The video is Original!
    Can’t wait for Sept. 23rd Great Job, Keri, and Great Job Ethiopia.

  38. Irene

    I wish people would stop talking about the girl’s hair, who cares about the hair. This girl is so talented, been waiting for her album to drop for a minute. Not many women in the business could write, sing, and produce besides Alicia keys. I feel your a true artists if you can do all that. I’m a writer myself and believe me it’s really not that easy. So I say go on girl do your thing, don’t worry about what anyone says. I will be buying your album to show support.

  39. *Sigh*

    Great concept. I liked the whole boxing themed video. Her outfits seem like they were inspired by that 80′s flick “Flashdance” that’s the first thought that came to mind.

    Even though the video was deceit I’m still not feeling the song. I’m also not quite sold on Keri, yet. I think her vocals are okay, but their not strong enough to stand out to me.

    Also, what was all that hand movement in the beginning? Was she mimming? LOL

  40. DA UNDACOVA BROTHA

    I didnt really like the song until i seen the video ( thats the kinda kat i am…i may hate a song until i see that video ) but now im diggin it hard…an keri looked HAWT….

  41. Fed Up

    keri seems like she doesnt take any sh*t. her thighs on point but it looks like she wears thick thick amounts of make-up…lets wait and see how her career moves

  42. XPERT2007

    I’ve said it before on here…..KERI IS VERY PRETTY, TALENTED , AND SEEMS LIKE A VERY NICE PERSON…..HOWEVER, I DO NOT THINK HER VOCALS ARE VERY UNIQUE.

  43. I think the “mushroom” cut fits her GREAT b/c she looked wack w/o it in Usher’s video.

  44. miss B LIFE SIZE

    The song is okay.. and the video is too J-Lo-esque..

  45. DENITA SKYE

    Keri is a gorgeous girl, she seems to have a cool personality and the fact that she writes her own ish is amazing as well. I loved the video, she looks hot, love the mushroom because nobody else is rockin it (especially love when she puts the blonde underneathe the black) Girl got a couple haters already so shes doing something right. Cant wait for the album to drop……..

  46. d

    uhm..imma stick with beyonce and ciara. sorry

  47. me

    do we have to see her arse allready? yeah she prob sings betta than ciara and looks betta than beyonce but i’d take any of those ladies over her. she’s mediocre. and timberland tried me with that comment about the top 3. that fat **** don’t know what he’s talking about…there’s beyonce there’s ciara there’s rihanna. who the **** is a keri

  48. Greg_Arious

    She looks like shes trying to Morph into a Power Ranger with all those hand movements. I still dont like the song and the video didnt do much for me. She is sexy as shit tho.

  49. dd

    I really dug the song! She actually shocked me because I have only heard her on that Timbaland song and her voice sounds different on this joint, like something I can listen to. She’s really pretty too.

  50. TEMPEST ? OHNO .

    poeple are acting like the way she showed her ass was crazy inappropriate. jesus. anyways i love love love love keri hilson shes so extrememly talented as a writer and singer! i hope people can giver her a chance to show everyone how good she is.

    power to keri!

  51. *Sigh*

    She looks like shes trying to Morph into a Power Ranger with all those hand movements. I still dont like the song and the video didnt do much for me. She is sexy as shit tho.

    LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Oh HELL NAW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  52. shauny

    Her vocals were o.k but the song is blah, and I agree that it was more a show off my body video than a show off my true talent piece.

    Also, Why if Rhi Rhi even a factor in this post? She isn’t R&B, she is pop. I can also think of ALOT of artists that ARE R&B that could’ve been used as examples.

    Keri has to show me more before I will become a fan. She also lowered her standards IMO yesterday in throwing shots a the controversy going on with Rocsi and Terrence. I thought she was more classy than that.

  53. TRUTHBTOLD

    That’s dude from the madea play, Madea goes to jail. He does it for me!! Good pick Keri, for a leading man; yum yum! That brother is fine right there!! YEP to cute for words.

  54. The video was hot. She’s a PRETTY girl!

    Funny how when I rocked that cut last year everyone was DOGGING it. Guess it takes a semi-famous person to don it & the sheep start to follow the flock.

    The song is below mediocre to me. I’m sorry, I DONT GET THE HYPE. She’s written some cool songs. My fav from her catalouge is Mary J’s “Take Me As I Am”. But as a singer…I don’t get it. Wasn’t impressed with “The Way I Are” “Energy” isn’t strong enough. She needs to do something more to garner my money besides looking hot in a video of a bad song.

  55. *Sigh*

    LMAO @ ComplexnDope

    Wow I must be a long time CL reader ’cause I do remember when the loop commenters were hatin on you! LMFAO!

  56. luvs2speakhermind

    I may be the only one to say this, but WTF (w stands for why in this case) doesn’t she have any clothes on? She looks very slutty in the video! Seriously… she barely has any clothes and and I agree with the person who said that this video was just a chance to show off her body. I don’t get why people are saying she’s different and something fresh to the game? People like Rihanna and Nicole Scherzinger show off their bodies in videos just like how Keri did. Keri reminded me of Nicole Scherzinger when Nicole did that Baby Love video. It was a song about a relationship but all she did was look sexy and sell her body in a suttle way. As a straight female I can’t watch this LOL! This song sucks big time as well! It’s so boring! No, I’m not hatin I’m just stating my opinion.

  57. thickems

    Maybe it will grow on me ! Shoot maybe not ! No interest !
    I am definitely not mad at her getting checks cut to her but a host she is definitely not!
    I wish her well as a singer !
