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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

19.

nite*vision

Tuesday, July 15, 2008 /

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.

20.

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.

22.

John

Tuesday, July 15, 2008 /

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.

23.

Lady Architect

Tuesday, July 15, 2008 /

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.

24.

Cortney

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

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?

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

Tuesday, July 15, 2008 /

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.

32.

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

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?

36.

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.

DAME(Blah)

Tuesday, July 15, 2008 /

@ 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?

39.

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

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.

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.

42.

*Sigh*

Tuesday, July 15, 2008 /

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

43.

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….

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.

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……..

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.

Tuesday, July 15, 2008 /

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.

53.

TEMPEST ? OHNO .

Tuesday, July 15, 2008 /

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.

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.

58.

Tuesday, July 15, 2008 /

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.

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 !

Seeing how concrete loop is on celebrity status (meaning celebs read this) I’m gonna talk straight to them…
KERI, girl keep doing you! You have a way of captivating your listeners with the emotion in your voice. People need to google you to see exactly how many hit songs you have already written… your time is now! ; ) You already have haters so you are well on your way!
RIHANNA, I’m a fan but you gptta come harder vocally because I can already see Keri taking over pretty soon…

It’s amazing how people focus on hairstyles instead of the music. The video is totally different from anything else on tv and the song is one of the best, if not the best new songs of the summer. (why is that? because here is it damn near august and not one established artist has released a summer banger). Therefore, kudos to Keri and Melina for thinking outside the box and on September 23rd I’ll be buying the album.

68.

Tuesday, July 15, 2008 /

I liked it. It’s a cool song. I just hate her Tootie from Facts of Life hair she be rockin! She needs to let that hairstyle go. lol. But the songs cool and she looked beautiful in the video.

If Keri performed this on American Idol, would you vote for her? If you closed your eyes and listened to the song would you say that’s my Jam right there! ? Here voice isn’t bad but not unique either. BLAH comes to mind. Tamia, Shanti Moore and Shanice have great voices but we just never buy their albums: OH well, good luck with your plan “A” Keri like you said, Never give up.

71.

J. Peezy

Tuesday, July 15, 2008 /

Have to agree with #67… Keri and Melina put it down. The video is different from other stuff out there and represents the athletic sexy side of Keri. Very well done. Even the Flashdance references are cool.

72.

Miss P

Tuesday, July 15, 2008 /

@Sunshine u right…Yep no one buys or hears from Tamia,Shanice or Chante Moore.They alright too.

73.

PrincessP

Tuesday, July 15, 2008 /

I’ve been in love with this song for a while now but the video is such a disappointment. It seemed like she was trying a little too hard and the dancing was off, IMHO. She’s very talented so i dunno, I guess I expected better.

@Dame, i was surprise too. But i think Timbo said that because he’s been working with Keri for a long time so he’s excited about her project. But 3 chicks that always be killing the game is definately Bey, Alicia and Ciara, of course!
