Keri Hilson premieres her very first music video for her first single from her upcoming debut album, In A Perfect World…
She hit up and guest co-hosted BET’s 106 & Park today. The video was directed by Melina, who was also responsible for the visuals for Beyonce’s B’Day Anthology, as well as videos for Snoop Dogg, Solange, Eve and more.
In A Perfect World… hits stores on September 23rd.


Hot n different LOve it!!! The song is much better with video and love her hand movements in the video
Im sorry anyone who has a gratuitous shot of herself in a video bending over, legs spread, like she is taking it from the back under the guise of stretching for fitness seems slutty to moi. Save that for video number four if your so talented keri.
Make room for new artist people..U cant compare her to other female artist out there.Their style and background is different.She’ll grow as an artist.I like Keri.Do ya thnag.U getting money nigga.
I’m just not feeling Keri but I wish her well.
i like the video, it looks different and Keri looks good in it……but it was kind of “look at my body everybody, please, so i can shift more units”- unnessecary
I didnt like the song either until i saw the video which shows how commercial the industry is becoming.
I like Keri alot but i think thats based more on her style than anything else
the first half of the vid was so so but it picked up by the end but i love the song itself
tht was an awsum video
keep it up gurl
i saw u n terrence gettn it down on 106 n park wit those strawberries
let me find out
Its not nudity! Google Image Halle Berry Boxing!
I wouldn’t call it swagger jacking because Keri did the damn thing! I love the song and video! Brian get up on that im tellin ya! I know my ish!
#19 SHUT UP! Rihanna is not the cause fro lack of Sangers. The industry is. There have been non-sanging singers for a LONG time (britney, madonna,janet, ashlee simpson) and many more. Just another way to try to put the girl down for working what she has. And obviously People are lovin it if shes at 5milWORLDWIDE. And still in the top ten selling over 45,000 units over a year of its release. But MOVING ON…..
Keri is a very beautiful girl. I like the hand movements at the beginning.
Im not really feeling the song. But it seems like it can grow on me.
And I think shes trying to make te whole mushroom hair-do her signature thing. Sort of like hor Ri-ri did with the bob/short hair.
Oh and for seem reason. I get a Ciara vibe from this video. Not quite sure why.
Oh nevermind! I got the links myself

So I guess you guys are calling Halle a hoe too huh? Keri is not being a slut! They turned a photo into a HOT music video!
ITS ART PEOPLE!
I like it! And she looks great! Catchy song, I love the concept…Still not ready to compete with Rihanna and CiCi, though. Sry:(
@120
newsflash
SHE’S NOT TRYING TO BE POP-ISH LIKE RIRI AND CHRIS BROWN OR ANYBODY ELSE!!!
she’s trying to do her OWN thing, and that includes her “mushroom” cut that NOBODY else is rocking right now. and to 132, imo anyone out there can compete with rihanna because rih is not that much vocally talented. stunnigly gorgeous? yes. gives you chills when she sings or makes you say wow that girl can REALLY sing? umm…no.
DAMN, that was one of the most engaging videos that I’ve seen in a LONG time and for that Keri I thank you. The song is real too!
not feeling it! she has to do better!
You can tell she dropped 15-20 lbs for this video. I liked her thicker but she looks real healthy, Shes going to be doing big things.
I like the song and Keri, but the video was wack.
well she’s a lot better than the no talents out there like rihanna and cassie.
i’m mad timbaland put her on beyonce level though. sorry but nobody is on beyonce level. period. and i’mma need for somebody to let him know that alicia keys, mariah carey, and beyonce are the top 3 killing the game. get it right.
anyway the song is aight and the video is okay but at least keri can hold a note so I won’t be too hard on her.
i like her weave..but ima keep it real….the only reason i watched this video again..was because if the male model/actor…he sooooooooooooooooo SEXY..damn…he looked good in ashanti video..but even better in this one..but for keri’s sake…ummm..melina came up with a good concept..
ok…keri can sing…but im not really blown away by her….and yess i was watching 106..and timbaland musta smoked some shit b4 he came out talkin bout rihanna, keri, and beyonce are the top women in the game….OH NO NO NO..keri jus released her own single…no…rihanna can’t sing…and beyonce is point blank the baddest bitch in this game…she’s on top….right now…like my opinion said…beyonce and alicia r killing this game…mariah her time was up 10 years ago..she wack to me….B and Alicia are the best right now..and r my favs along side jill scott.. but HANDS DOWN beyonce take the crown..and her and alicia r killin shit now

why does her first solo video have her looking completely oversexualized?
i mean come on! slavered in baby oil, legs open, bending over?
why keri hilson? why?
i love the vid,it’s fresh, the song is fresh and i love her style…the wait is almost over
Like it or not, Keri killed that vid and song. I don’t know what you people are used to seeing but that was a well directed video. Instead of giving you up-close glamor shots like most female artist do in their videos…She gave a concept! As far as the song, it’s fab….”I’m having nightmares from sleeping with the enemy” until you grasp the thoughts of that one lyric..you wouldn’t understand the song. She traveled deep into her heart for this song and I can totally realte to every word she’s saying! I haven’t been this excited about an artist in along time..TEAM KERI BIISHES!
Legs open bending over? Slathered in baby oil? Have you people really watched the video because it sounds like your just seeing what you want to see.
That streatch keri was doing is no diff than any other pre warm up in a SPORT! Keri is playing a BOXER! She’s working out for crying out loud she has a REASON to look wet! Is she supposed to be bone dry brushing her hair or something?
Energy is a dope video! Was it so slutty when Beyonce did that same streatch on a pole in her concert DVD? Open your minds! 106 has flooded your brains with GARBAGE’ you don’t know a masterpiece when you see one!
Big ups to Keri!
The stans are afraid. I LOVE IT! Look at them! LMAO!!!
bout time! i’ve been waiting on her for a minute now! liking the video
Keri is BEAUTIFUL. she has an amazing body.
she’s got a nice voice and she’s VERY talented.
the video is steamy too!
i wish her the best.
woteva
LoL/ She is really sexy!!! I have ever seen her hot video on the wealthy dating club R I C H L O V I N G.C O M for hot guys and girls to hook up for Hot Love and Sexy Dating. She is really sexy with bikini in that video.
Sounds poppish to me.And if her swag reminds you of Ciara, then she doesn’t have that much swag.At first, I didn’t like it at all,but it’s an ok song.When people,like Tim, start comparing folks or whatever, people get big headed.
keri hilson is going to be so huge i can’t wait to hear in a perfect world i know it’s going to be hot
This woman is tribute to beautiful black woman everywhere real talk! Not because she’s gorgeous on the outside but she is the leader and co founder of a writing group that has penned hits for Grammy winning artists. She is naturally a treasure and I’ve been a fan of this sister since day 1. They don’t make em like that anymore, Peace!

Under normal circumstances, I don’t even post on CL … but the comments on Keri have forced me to today. For starters Keri is going to soar whether people want to accept it or not. She has already been making a mark in the industry and will continue to do so. The song is definitely intended to be a cross over hit and I am sure that it will do well. She brings a different element to the game right now. And as others have stated YES — she is semi reminiscent of other artist, however if you don’t care to open your eyes to see beyond the comparison than you are close minded yourself. The lyrics of the song speak to a situation that many people can relate to. Its nothign like investing your time and energy into a situation and it still not panning out to be what you want.
On Beyonce – she stands ina class all her own. There is none like her and she is an ICON. Rhianna is now after 3 albums has found her niche. Keri is stepping out form behind the scenes writing and will shine in her own right … people always have negative things to say, especially when they are not the ones out there. Music is a craft, Keri has genuine passion and that will translate in her work.
The video concept is cool, and yes her body looks great …. be reminded that the song is more than that though & so is she people.
I read this in a beauty’s blog on **blackbbwmeet.com*** It’s famous free dating site which is open to all 18 quality singles and where all kinds of relationships are possible. MSN reported that celeb Charlie Sheen found his love last May. And recently I heard that Britney signed up the site
I really like the song and the video, i think she has a hit. She will do really good with popular music because she has that sound. She actually writes her own music and sings it (talented). Yes there are better singers out there but she is going to be hot. Oh and love Miscommunication by her and Timberland. When i heard that song i was like she is going to be a hit. So anyone who hasn’t heard that song go listen to it because i thought it would have been a nice video.
To be honest. I really liked the song until I saw the video. It seems that instead of letting her creativity speak for itself Keri listened to the marketing team and decided to sell her body instead. I thought the song was great, but now I can’t listen to it without getting annoyed at the thought of the video and how she just put too much out too soon. I like her for being a true artist (writer, singer, producer), but if she keeps making videos like that, she’ll just lose a fan.
I loved it! Not a Keri fan but I may turn into one after this.
Um, don’t like the song, and don’t like the video. I hate that mushroom hair…
She’s a cute girl though.
And so sorry, but these new artists just really don’t compare to Tamia, Toni, Brandy, Chante, Lauryn and them other bad chicks from the 90′s…..sorry, they can never fill their shoes, and i know music is supposed to evolve, but evolve to what?! GARBAGE? I just feel music is on a downward spiral, and every once in a while, a today artist have a hit…but in the 90′s, you could ACTUALLY COUNT on a hit from your artist of choice….Monica, Brandy, Aaliyah, Janet, them some bad bitches…today, music is just pure SHIT!
JUST MY OPINION….
loves it, her, the vid, etc….GO KERI!! ♥
I agree with # 19, as far as her voice goes, she’s nothing special, but she’s very talented and is a beautiful girl & i also love the video, big ups to her.
I almost wanna call her the new tamia …… love the song minus the chorus …… the dude in this video is fine as hell. Who is he?
Love this song by Keri can’t wait to here the rest of the album
I absolutely love this song, even she sounds an AWFUL lot like Beyonce.
I have been following Keri since she first stepped onto the scene…. and as far as being talented…this girl is it…..And I bet if you look at the credits to one of your most recent favorite songs, she wrote it…..This song doesn’t show her true vocals, but believe me….Keri can go toe to toe with the best of em….I can’t wait for her album to drop…
Keri’s the one of the Most Talented Singers/Songwriter ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
not feelin it

Keri will transition flawlessly from behind the pen to in front of the mic. I really love this song, and I like the video treatment. Keri is a truly talented and beautiful artist.
I LIKE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS VIDEO AND SONG, EXCEPT THE MELODY AND CHORUS. HIS SONG REMINDS ME OF JORDAN SPARKS AND CHRIS BROWN’S NO AIR. THE FLOW OF THE SONG I NIE THOUGH.
I LOVE THE SONG, LOVE THE VIIDEO, MY QUESTION IS.. WHOS’S THE DUDE IN THE VIDEO..HE LOOKS GOOD
