MAG COVERS: KERI HILSON COVERS COMPLEX MAGAZINE

Tuesday, August 4, 2009

Singer/songwriter Keri Hilson covers the latest issue of Complex Magazine and speaks on the album, working behind the scenes, growing up well off and more. Peep some snippets:

On her debut album and its sales:
Keri: It’s doing very well. Especially given this industry—even though the business is hurting, the album is still achieving its projections. I’m proud of the album, but you can never expect how the world will receive you or your music.

On her first check for song-writing:
Keri: My very first check was for Ruben Studdard’s first album, like $25,000. And my family was like, “What the hell is this? This is what you’ve been doing? Who the hell brings home a check like this?” They’re thinking $2,500 here and there, whatever. It was crazy.

On Rihanna’s and Cassie’s leaked photos:
Keri: My first reaction was “Thank God I never did that.” I never let anybody take any naked pictures of me, so there would be none. I was always one of those over-paranoid people, convinced that someday that I would be living the dream, so as early as middle or high school I wouldn’t do certain things, just in case. [READ MORE]

LOL, i second you.

OK, back to the $25,000, I would rather write songs before I would want to be an artist, being in the spot light don’t mean shit these days, when all the people in the back ground is getting the fat checks!

Damn just imagine what Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis checks look like for writing all those songs for Janet.

Hell with all the wack ass songs these artist are singing now a days, I know I’m about to get into the writing business. lol.

Nice! She has a lot of haters…but that means she doing something right.

(Sidebar: Not comparing the two at all but Beyonce went through a COUPLE of hate months/years…from same people that worships the ground she walks on now. That’s the fickle azz public for you.)

@ #17…she’s actually more than average kinda pretty in person and stripped completely down.

44.

this girl continues to underwhelm me, can’t sing, writing is mediocre, can’t dance, and she’s basically just a cute face….next….

@ 36

stooped this low? these are not nasty naked pics, shes probably showin as much skin as any girl on the beach!
and i love alicia keys and think she is attractive but she has once said to be very insecure about her huge calves (probably her canckles to) her skin and everything else so MAYBE thats why she has never showed skin like that so for the ones who are confident enough let them be if its done tastefully, she is a beautiful young woman who is COnfident- there is nothing wrong with that… i know if i had her body i would do the same lol

55.

peacekeeper

Tuesday, August 4, 2009 /

These pictures remind me of Ciara’s photos for Fantasy Ride.

Keri’s thighs are thick in these pictures? Wow…whoever said that must be on some…something.

Keri said her album is doing very well? lol..okay.

56.

Mizz Keri Baby!!

Tuesday, August 4, 2009 /

Haters (#1, 17, 34, 44) FALL BACK!! Keri looks great in these photos! There tastefull done, it’s not like she’s on a bed with her legs wide open!
I co-sign with No. 28, let me get to writing songs right ASAP! With all the ish they pass for music these days, it can’t be too hard! (Not to say that Keri writes ish, she’s actually really good!) A $25,000 check ain’t no joke!! Hell that’s when she just started off, she probably making tripple that now! I’d stay behind the scenes and just let the checks roll in! You can live like and mingle with the stars, but still maintain your privacy! That’s the good life! Get it Ms. Keri! Let the haters hate! The more haters you got the more successful you are!

57.

Mizz Keri Baby!!

Tuesday, August 4, 2009 /

Hey, did any one notice that when they asked Keri about Rihanna & Cassie’s nude pics, instead of saying “Oh, I feel bad for them. That was real unfortunate for them…”, she’s like “Yeah, I’m glad I didn’t do that shit! I ain’t that stupid!” LMAO! I know that’s right Keri. Tell them dudes you can see my ass naked when you with me! No pics for you!! LOL!

58.

59.

backingbarack

Tuesday, August 4, 2009 /

she looks better with minimal makeup but being that i work in the industry the makeup is probably caked on but the lighting and retouching didnt pick it up. she should never wear blush and that heavy black eyeliner. whoever her makeup artist is needs to keep the makeup looking clean and minimal.

her body is smoking tho!!!

60.

word

Tuesday, August 4, 2009 /

knowing my fellow black people, im sure yaw didnt read her interview lol
so here’s one of the best statements she made………
” Yeah! I don’t want to be oversexed! I don’t want to sell sex, I want to sell music. I want to inspire others, I don’t want to be one of those people who’s always throwing their body at the masses. What good does that do? Besides sell records. Men don’t buy records, anyway. These pictures are Photoshopped, they’re airbrushed. If anything, it’s just the opposite for me, where women are my fans. ”

i respect Keri even MORE for that statement. she’s mos def a focused lady and i hope she goes far in her career. and her comment just answered what some retarded haters have been saying
this is not the real Keri, she’s not trynna sell sex or anything. damn, if you probably read the interview, you’ll have known
besides she looks stunning and her body’s sexy as hell lol

61.

KERI IS A HYPOCRITE

Tuesday, August 4, 2009 /

This heffa claims she doesn’t want to be known for her looks but she’s all assed out and oiled up on the cover.

Then she claims she doesn’t go out but on her twitter she’s always at after parties getting drunk. She’s a heavy drinker.

How can she compare herself to artists like Rihanna and Cassie who are half her age?

KERI IS PUSHING 30! She should be at Beyonce’s level.
She’s been in the game since 1995!

STOP LYING KERI!!

She is a liar. Her tits are the first thing you see on the Complex cover. She sells sex.
She shouldn’t put down other artists to make herself look better.

To people that say she looks thick ..

.. how sad that our world is coming to an end.
Because this bitch is extra slim
& I don’t think anyone in their right mind would say “yuck” when they look at her thighs.
This is what some females want to look like.

Her body is ON!
Go Keri!

Tuesday, August 4, 2009 /

@JLINZ

No! I used to be a fan until I started noticing she’s always complaing,hating on someone, pretending to be better than other artists but doing the same thing. She got unfollowed months ago after I got tired of her drunk at the after party twitters.

I’m glad I never bought her album.

Yes! That’s exactly what I’m talking about. Her attitude sucks! She is knocking others throughout the whole interview…and I’m like, “you are doing the same thing”. But when you do it, it’s okay? Whatever. She is a fake.

Keri claims she’s from the hood. But her family is rich middle class. She went to private schools, that’s why she thinks she’s better than other artists.

You’re still assed out and oiled up with your tittays on display like a regular video ho Keri!!

She’s not from Decatur like she said. Complex caught her on that lie!
HA!

She’s a liar and a hypocrite.

Keri looks amazing! why do women always have to hate on each other, it’s not too much skin and it’s not raunchy either. what do you think you see when you go to the beach? Skin! stop the “oh she needs sex to sell records” garbage. This is 2009 not 1949. when I first saw the photos the first thing that came to my mind is how beautiful she is and the artwork, not “ooh man I wanna smash that”… I think a lot of women have been brainwashed into being ashamed of their body… anyway Keri is ok with me. Shes living her dream and making a living in the process.. what could ever be wrong with that ?
STOP THE HATE! *(or bugs will crawl in your ear while you’re sleeping and lay eggs)*

keri looks amazing, nothing too over the top
yet some ppl are making a fuss bout her outfits when majority of the people we see on the beach look like this, or even worse
rihanna and cassie were NUDE and people still kiss their azzes till now, but no, Keri’s the bad one. so much foolishness and hypocracy
i love how she speaks her mind, she didnt have to lie about how she felt about posing nude, she said what any sensible lady would have said
unlike some of you on here acting like what those two did is acceptable
there are hardly any real artists (when i say real, i mean those who aren’t scared to say what they really feel, rather than what people expect to hear) which is why someone like her is considered rude or proud or whatever you decide to call it
she seems like a down-to-earth chick and i think she’s beautiful!

Tuesday, August 4, 2009 /

I’m definitely not “hating” on Miss Keri… I’ve been a fan since “Happy Juice” leaked. She’s been blessed with the opportunity to do what most female artist wish they could do today…. Be a new fresh face in the game & actually be accepted into the mainstream as a new artist. I thought she was going to actually be the 1st to stand up, push the envelope and continue to be successful without having to take it there, thats all I’m saying.

Yes the pictures aren’t distasteful and she looks great, but just as she states in the interview “women are my fans… men don’t buy records”. I was rooting for her to be against the “typical” R&B artist image.

@78 - Why don’t you ask Keri that, “Why do women have to hate on each other?” Keri is the one always taking shots at other female artists yet she is doing the same thing. It’s not just about the pictures. If you read the article, she is putting her foot in her mouth throughout the whole interview, as you can see how Complex was pointing out in the interview.

I heart the contradiction! She wont be caught like Cassie & Rihanna but isnt she damn near naked in the Knock you down video?

Her cheeks & boobs were hanging out! but that’s not naked? WTF is she talking about. She’s damn near naked in this shoot. Give it up. Now you’re happy that you cant sell 500,000 copies? Give me a freaking break. Her bark is obviously bigger than her bite. She just hates that she had to humble herself b/c the album sales don’t lie.

I mean damn none of her singles are even gold & knock you down is #3 on billboard top 100.

BTW Complex - Keri doesnt have her own concert to sell out - that’s KC’s concert & ticks are always available.

Now Keri what R&B chicks are u shooting down? LMAO!

THANK YOU #67!!

JEALOUSY IS SUCH A CONTAGIOUS AND TRAGIC DISEASE

AND I’M SICK OF THE PEOPLE WHO CONSTANTLY PREACH ABOUT SELF RESPECT AND BLAH BLAH BLAH. KERI HILSON HAS ALWAYS BEEN A CLASSY GIRL AND HAS ALWAYS CARRIED HERSELF VERY WELL. HALF OF YOU AREN’T EVEN COMFORTABLE IN YOUR OWN SKIN AND NOW YOU KNOCKIN A FEMALE WHO’S COMFY IN HERS.

It’s so sad when you cant even have an opinion on a BLOG. Becasue if you do your considered a hater. Maybe people really dont think she is that pretty it is quite possible and maybe someone really does believe her thighs r to big in the pics. We come from all different backgrounds and all different parts of the glob and experience different things. Maybe the part of the globe their from they have lots of beautiful women and Keri just doesnt do it for them.

Not a single one of us enjoys all the same foods, music, clothing, movies, games, things just in general. thats y its an opinion!

And just because you pose half naked in a mag doesnt mean ur comftorable in ur skin and just because u dont doesnt mean ur not. U can look a hot ass mess, but PHOTOSHOP WILL make u look gorgeous! Some people r just more private and dont want eveyone knowing what they look like insde out.

And Alicia Keys has just as much class as Keri for the person that made that dumb comment. U must have 4 got she was getting busy with swiss beatz while he was married.

To those who are saying that her pics are trashy, I think you should take another look. Yes she’s baring quite a bit of skin, nothing you wouldn’t find at the local beach I’m sure, but the way she’s posing is in a very tasteful manner. It would be a different story had she posed with her legs wide open spread eagle, or bent over with her ass sticking out towards the camera. She’s not doing anything out of the ordinary than what you would find in a fashion magazine like Vogue where the models are posing swimsuits. She’s even crossing her legs in one of the pics in order to not give you all the “money shot”.

I just don’t understand why we can’t congratulate our sisters in the buisness instead of hating on them and trying to bring them down. Black women have it the hardest in this world, and we ain’t doing nothing but making it harder on them.

Now I’m ALL about people using their God-given talents to be successful in life and I can respect Keri for that. (In the songwriting sense.)

But if she prided herself on not taking her clothes off to be a well-known artist, then what’s up with the over-exagerrated cleavage and the oily, alluding sexual poses?

Sure, she’s not laying on a bed with her legs spread in these pics, but she sure as hell isn’t showcasing her “true talent” that got her in the industry in the first place……..sell out much?

OMG everything!

I AM NOT MAD AT MS. KERI FOR DOING THIS PHOTO SHOOT. IT’S JUST THAT I THOUGHT SHE WOULD AVOID DOING PHOTO SHOOTS LIKE THIS. WE AS BLACK WOMEN SHOULDN’T HAVE TO SHOW OUR BODY PARTS TO SELL ANYTHING. SURE BEYONCE, CIARA, CASSIE, RIHANNA (THE LIST GOES ON AND ON) DID IT BUT IT WAS NOT NEEDED IF THEY ARE MUSICALLY TALENTED. I JUST WISH OUR FEMALE ENTERTAINERS COULD SEE HOW BEAUTIFUL AND TALENTED THEY ARE WITHOUT HAVING TO BE HALF NAKED ALL THE TIME. BLACK IS AND WILL ALWAYS BE BEAUTIFUL!

Nothing But Love

Wednesday, August 5, 2009 /

Nice pix but she needs to calm down and stop talkin about other ppl!

I mean, everyone is doing his own thing, she should stop putting down other artists even though she is not sayin names but we know! She is sayin ppl are oversexed or overexposed while she recorded three remixes for her song ‘turnin me on’ dissin ppl, thats how they noticed her in all the blogs and she got media buzz so bish please!

On stage you critisize ppl for wearin sexy clothes but thats on stage also, onstage! u let guys grabbin ur ass on stage too so its the same sh!t! its all entertainment, u talkin trash in low about other females but thats the same sh!t they do honey, those shoots she took, are they different from what a rihanna, beyoncé would take? so sit yo azz down! u sell sex too!! If u wasnt sellin sex, u wouldnt have ur ass all on that bed on the knock me down video or how you were dressed on energy or turnin me on or return the favor, bish please!!!

thats why I will never like her cuz she is a hater for real, beautiful yes, smart yes, but a true hater, she wants to be hot so much and is so hungry for fame that she is puttin down others and bein cocky! Lovin the fact that she is hustlin and wants to be a positive image but I hate ppl who spend their time putting down others cuz their sh!t aint workin!

She forgot she had to diss Beyoncé and Ciara , featured lil wayne, kanye, neyo on her tracks to be hot today!! The only problem with this girl is that, stop focussin on others and dissin them to have a different light or others! if they want to look perfect or havin paparazzis around them or posin naked thats their damn problems, not yours!!! u know damn well u do the same things and want their spots! bish plizzzzz

What examples are we sending to our youth that are listening to the music and watching the videos and reading the magazines? It this the image that we are trying to leave for the future? Come on. When is someone going to set the example and change the game because to me it’s going SOUTH and it hasn’t shown any signs of improvement. The world is a big sex ball with horny people doing everything to demand attention. Can we focus on something else. DAMN!

She doesn’t sell sex?? what does she call gyrating on stage with someone’s face all up in her crotch? She simulates sex just about every time she is on stage performing.

Booty tootin, boobs in your face and greased up…another oversexed no talent female selling out to make a buck..

These artist do not have any talent…aren’t trail blazers but love to wallow in the trash.

It’s time to get beyond this mind numbing entertainment for the masses!!!!

I think she ties too hard, like her image wise it’s not her or natural. The pictures are okay, her makeup is hot. First thing I usually look at anyway.

Who ever spoke on Beyonce’s leotard doesn’t have shit to do with this post. Who cares who she got it from everything is recyceled even Rhianna look.

Maybe just maybe if Keri never put out that diss. I would kind of like her but clearly she is full of herself. As far as the cover it’s not classy at all. As much as people love to hate on Beyonce she has never been on magazine cover looking trashy and the one time she was half naked was when she was making history on the cover of Sports Illustrated.

These pics are too much for a SINGER! She is no model so there is no excuse for her to have pics. People are so quick to call females haterz but I find it funny how men can’t say a man’s body looks good and call him sexy but if a woman is half dressed we women are supposed to praise another woman??? How gay is that? It’s a double standard. I’m a straight female so I don’t find these pics to be “sexy.” Keri is extremely hypercritical, you don’t wanna be known for selling sex or an image but yet you were half naked with breats all out in “Energy”, dancing nasty on Usher with a low cut, again breasts hanging out in a tight leotared “Love in this Club,” now this mess.

No matter how tasteful these pics are to some of you, she is a SINGER and SINGERS jobs are to sing and perform, not show their body like they’re MODELS! Plus I’m tired of people acting like showing you’re body is no big deal. It is a big deal. It’s your body and nobodys business! Keri you have some damn nerve dissing Rihanna and Cassie for those pics. I understand what she’s saying and agree, I think taking naked pics is so damn stupid, but again you’re a hypercrite so how can I go off by what you’re saying. She’s so wack, sit down!

KERI STFU! YOU ARE STILL SELLING T1TS AND A$$! RIHANNA AND CASSIE TOOK PICS FOR THEIR BOYFRIENDS AT THE TIME. THOSE PICS WERE NOT FOR THE WHOLE WORLD TO SEE. I SEE 95% OF YOUR T1TS AND 85% OF YOUR A$$. YOU ARE NOT THE VIRGIN MARY. STOP BEING A HYPOCRITE!

whatever… yawn/ NEXT!!!!

still not fellin’ her no matter how many covers, no matter how many publicity doallrs the waste. (WHISPEREING in her ear)… you still have to pay the label back, evenif you don’t move units….. I see bankruptcy in your future, but I’m not a psychic. Just be careful with those checks baby. Judgung fromthe product, they may not last… but hey, you can always model, right? :) Good luck with that.

She has no room to talk when I saw her in concert @ the summer jam she had some man’s head all in crotch on stage. She was feeling on herself trying to be sexy. I felt that she over did it. She says some slick stuff about people all the time. She should have never commented on Rihanna and Cassie. She should have said no comment but NOOO she runs her mouth at every chance she gets. She is all oiled up bending over in front of the camera. She is always half naked in her videos just like the rest of them. Idk why yall over here agreeing with this fool. She paints a perfect picture of herself. I hate her damn attitude. If we can go in on Beyonce being a bitch. We need to go in on Miss Hilson who showcases her bitchyness.

How can she talk? These pics are basically nude. Singer/songwriter/stripper if you ask me. I thought she was gonna be a quality artist. Wrong again.
