Will Keri Hilson ever get a hit as a solo act? This is the question that many critics have been asking themselves since Hilson debuted her ‘In A Perfect World…’ LP in 2009. Although she has managed to land multiple singles in the top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100, Hilson has yet to do so as without the assistance of other artists featured on her tracks.
From her own massive hit ‘Knock You Down (Ft. Ne-Yo & Kanye West)’ and the club-banger ‘Turnin’ Me On (Ft. Lil Wayne)’ to her guest appearance on Timbaland’s ‘The Way I Are’, Hilson has made her mark on the charts time and again. As a songwriter, she has crafted moderately successful tracks for both Britney Spears (‘Break The Ice’) and for Timbaland (‘Scream’ – on which she was featured alongside Nicole Scherzinger). Yet, none of the songs that she has released on her own have managed to make a dent on the charts.
For instance, ‘Energy’ – the 1st single from Hilson’s debut album – failed to make it pass #78 on the Billboard 100 and only managed to scrape the #21 spot on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs tally. Her second individual release, ‘Slow Dance’, performed even more poorly by only peaking at #49 on the US R&B charts and completely missing the Hot 100 altogether. While Hilson did accomplish a hit in Europe with ‘I Like’, many argue that the song only achieved such status a result of it being associated with the hit German film ‘Zweiohrküken’.
So what is the possible cause of the seemingly impossible task of Hilson finding her way to the top 10 of the charts on by herself? Many speculate that she simply lacks the ‘it’ factor and raw energy (no pun intended) that her chart rivals Ciara and Beyonce possess. Certainly Hilson’s material has been sufficiently promoted by her label, and she has both the talent and the looks to be easily marketed to a wide audience. Whatever the reason, Hilson needs to deliver a successful solo effort on her next LP or else she will continue to be known as the Collaboration Queen by her doubters.

SHE’S COOL BUT THERS SOMETHING ABOUT HER I DNT LIKE, I CNT PUT MY FINGER ON IT THO. ANYWAY I THINK SHE DOES LACK THE “IT” FACTOR. THEN AGAIN SINGERS LIKE MY GIRL RHI RHI ONLY CAME INTO THER OWN ON THER THIRD ALBUM, SO I GUESS SHE STILL HAS TIME TO GROW. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS SHE’S NOT THAT YOUNG, FROM WHAT I REMEMBER SHE’S IN HER LATE 20’S SO SHE BETTA JUST HURRY UP AND BRING OUT A NEW ALBUM BEFORE HER APPEAL BEGINS TO FADE.
CHECK OUT MY NEW ENTERTAINMENT SITE http://WWW.FRESHURBANENT.CO.UK
I also feel there’s something missing in Keri… can’t say what exactly…
Some good songs, not really original, not a lot of stage presence…dunno…
I loved “energy” and “knock you down” and still do.
But she must keep on trying, step up her game… she can really do something !
By saying “Many“ who do u imply to? U and sam? Lol… Ur just lossers! Keri hilson was nominated 4 best new artist at the grammys! not 4 best collaboration artist. i think i answered ur question.
“Ciara” is not a chart rival. I don’t understand why you and sam don’t get that thru ur heads. While u busy hating on Christina Beyonce and Rihanna…CIARA AND KELLY ARE FLOOPINGGG!!!! Neither of their songs are doing a damn thing on the charts…but u fail to mention that. smhi really hate this site.
To be fair, most of Ciara’s biggest hits had another artist featured on her song…
But I think Keri CAN do it, but I’M just not that into her. I feel like she’s being FORCED down people’s throats as the next R&B/Pop crossover superstar, when with Ashanti and Ciara, it just came naturally. Hope she drops something hot tho!
NO THIS B**** NEEDS TO DIE UGLY H**
LOL NO WIT QUEEN BEY N TOWN
WEN QUEEN BEY N TOWN ERRTHANG SHUT DOOOOWWNNN!!!!!
MISS CARRIED BABY needs to learn a lesson in humility. She goes on bragging that she’s such a “songwriter”, but she still can’t write a big enough hit for her to compete with even the flopping chicks in the game. Her album was well produced but she has contributed nothing VOCALLY or PERFORMANCE-wise that Rihanna and Britney couldn’t do.
And Remember when in doubt: What would Solange Do?
Don’t forget about that “Return The Favor” song that NEVER took off!
whether she makes it or not i dont give a damn i hate her.
I don’t like Keri Hilson at all.
If she couldn’t write a hit song for Britney who is one of the worlds biggest entertainers, then that’s ashame. smdh.
She has a horrible attitude and as someone else said she needs to learn a lesson in humility. Her performances are boring, she’s boring and she sings thru her nose all the time.
she should try doing a solo uptempo song. her “solo” flops seem to be all ballads.
Does it really matter. She’s a talented singer/songwriter. People will find something to hate about her rather or not her next 3 individual singles are #1. It’s just the type of business we’re in. Why do we have to put down another artist to lift up our respective favorites. Can’t everyone get a little love?
@TJ:
SO TRUE
AND CIARA´?????????????
SHE HAD TWO MOTHERFUCKING SOLO SINGLES IN THREE ALBUMS
WE SHOULD WAIT TILL KEIS SECOND AND SEE HWTA SHE OES
BC CIARA DID THE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEXACT SAME THING
SO PLEASE
THATWACKJUICE
EACH ONE OF THOSE STORIES HAS SOOOOOOOOOO MANY ERRORS AND ARE WACK
FIRT OF ALL BEYONCE IS NOT HER PEER! BEYONCE HAS BEEN MAKING HITS AND HAS HAD A TOP 5 HIT “EVERY” YEAR OF HER 12 YEAR CAREER!!! KERI HAS YET TO DO IT! SHE IS ALSO APART OF THE 100 MILLION SELLING CLUB, KERI HILSON CANT EVEN COME FOR EGO’S SALES (WHICH OUTSOLD KERI HILSON’S ALBUM) LET ALONE ANYTHING ELSE BEYONCE HAS TOUCHED, LIKE DARKCHILD SAID BEYONCE PAVED THE WAY FOR KERI HILSON AND THESE GIRLS!!!! #FACT.
SECONDLY KERI HILSON IS NOT THE COLLABORATION QUEEN. THAT WOULD GO TO RIHANNA IMO. AT LEAST HER FEATURES, AND COLLABORATIONS ACTUALLY MAKE IT TO THE #1 SPOT, AND ACHIEVE MULTI PLATINUM STATUS KERI HILSON IS A FLOP.
THATGRAPEJUICE GET IT TOGETHER. DNT EVER COMPARE BEYONCE TO HER. OR GIVE HER UNACHIEVED TITLES!
I don’t care how talented she is, b**** had nerve to diss Beyonce and Ciara! she can die, i dont care.
ALSO, KERI HILSON CAME INTO THE GAME ALL WRONG. AND SUBSEQUENTLY SHE’S REEPING THE EFFECTS OF HER FAILED ACTIONS. HWO ARE YOU GOING TO TELL ANYYYYYYBODY TO SIT DOWN AND HAVE BABIES, OR THAT THEY FADING , OR ANYTHING WHEN AT THAT TIME SHE DIDNT HAVE ANY ROOM TO COME FOR TEYANA TAYLOR, LET ALONE BEYONCE OR CIARA TO WHOEVER SHE “SUPPOSEDLY” WAS TALKING TO SINCE SHE RETRACTED HER COMMENTS AFTER SHE GOT HER ASS DUGG INTO.
YOU CAN’T COME INTO THE GAME DISSING/DISRESPECTING PEOPLE AND THINK THAT YOU ARE GOING TO BE THIS BIG ASS STAR, OR HELLA SUCCESSFUL. THATS NOT HOW KARMA WORKS!
NOW SHE NEEDS TO GO CHECK THEM CREDITS MISS KERI-FLOPSON!!!
THATS RIGHT YOU DON’T F*** WITH THE QUEEN BEY TAKE THAT AS A LESSON LEAREND KERI WILSON
First of all to answer the post: Keri Hilson is nothing but a big bird bug eyed looking b****. She & the tired ass rat tail fail at life. This b**** is not that great of a writer might i add, she writes with a team of 3 other people which is why she has credit. The majority of the songs she’s claimed to have written for other artist, she’s listed in the credits last, which means she DID NOT have much input in the song. In Fact, the majority of the songs on her album are not written by just her. *shout out to Justin Timberlake For Writing “Slow Dance” by the way. *
She can’t come for anyone. She can’t sing live, she’s Rhythmically challenged, and she dye’s her hair with Kool aid packs. We’re Not Here for girls who can’t go platinum.
Another thing: This b**** told beyonce she was old & fading, when Keri is only 1 year younger than beyonce herself. Beyonce can sit down for the rest of her life and Keri still won’t accomplish what Beyonce has accomplished. Beyonce’s Made history Many times, she’s in the history books so Keri how about u “Check her Credentials” .
It AMAZES me HOw you guys compare KERI HILSON to CIARA and BEYONCE two Artist that have been out WAY longer than KERI……
I don’t see you COMPARING BEYONCE to WHITNEY cause you can’t 🙂 Whitney is the BIGGEST SELLING FEMALE ARTIST in MUSIC HISTORY and you don’t compare cause Whitney WINS……
If anything compare Keri to her PEERS…Jazzmine Sullivan…And Melanie Fiona….And if we do that KERI WINS ! ! ! !
Secondally…YOU people crack me up as if BEYONCE came out as a SOLO Artist. She didn’t She COLLABED most of her career with WHO you ask? LETS’ SEE…Uhhhh…Kelly Rowland…Michelle Williams…LeToya Luckette…LaTavia Robinson…and Farrah Franklin..So Stop with the DRAMATICS…..
Beyonce’s first Album WAS filled with Collabo’s…”Crazy In Love”…& “Baby Boy”….The Albums 2 BIGGEST SINGLES that featured two BIG ARTIST. Yes the other SINGLES were “HITS” but not enough to get that Billboard Hot 100 SPOT 🙂
…And CIARA…REALLY?….She is the Queen of Features…”Goodies”…”1,2 Step”…”Oh”….”Get Up”….Can’t Leave Em’ Alone”….”Work”…”Ride”….”Like You”…..”So What”…..MOST SINGLES…ALL FEATURES….”Promise” was her BIGGEST SONG BY HERSELF……
Sam your just mad cause Keri is more RELEVANT thatn Kelly Rowland…And it’s people like you that make it hard for Kelly and Ciara……BUT WHATEVER…..
People lie woman lie men lie…BUT NUMBERS don’t…Keri sold more in a week that what Kelly did in a MONTH…..Kelly hasn’t had a hit since DC3…And let’s not even get into Ciara…Uhhhhhh that Has Been……
So keep hating on Keri cause she is STILL RELEVANT thanxx to the Hate FROM you ALL 🙂
I agree with so many of the above comments saying that Keri needs to learn some humility from the heart and mean it. Second if she acts as if she has already arrive and just got here yesterday she will not make it far. People say Rihanna sound like she has a billy goat stuck in her throat but yet she sounds better than Keri Hiltson and people do like Rihanna. Also I think that Keri felt herself so much that she tried to talk sideways about Ciara and Beyonce that she fu**ck it up for herself because they are love by the fans.
Now For Trent:
It Kills me how u have all the time in the world to sit here and critique all these other artists and say what she needs to do, yet you never wanna critique MANRIAH’s Failing ass. When You gonna tell Manriah to stop dressing like a 12 year old? When you gonna tell manriah that no one wants to hear her sing about Freeze pops & McDonald Fries? Manriah is failing. Where are her fans? Her sales keep getting lower and lower? When Memoirs Gonna outsell IN A Perfect World? lmfaoooo! I hate pressed b****** like you. Kelly & Ciara are flopping as well. Where is Ride? why is it not moving up the charts? Did Her Transmission Fail? What’s The Problem? Kelly? it’s so funny how ya’ll big this b**** up yet none of ya’ll F*** buying the single on Itunes? where is her single?
ThatGrapeFruit is a major fail.
OH YEA THTS ANOHER THING KERI HILSON IS NT ON BEYONCE’S OR EVEN ON CIARA’S LEVEL. IT ANNOYS ME WHEN PEOPLE PUT BEYONCE IN THE SAME CATEGORY AS ARTISTS THAT HAVE ONLY BEEN OUT FOR LIKE TWO YEARS. PEOPLE THAT ARE ON B’S LEVEL ARE PEOPLE LIKE XTINA AND ALICIA KEYS ECT.

L M F A O ! ! ! ! ! ! !
AGREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED 🙂
OOPS THAT WAS FOR WHEREMYRINGAT 🙂
JONSTRAX I AGREE WITH YOU TOO ! ! ! ! !
But Xtina and Alicia came out on their own….Not with a GROUP 🙂
@TheWayIIzzzz
FIRST OFF F** U NEED TO KNOW WHAT YOU TALKING ABOUT. WHITNEY HOUSTON IS NOT THE BIGGEST SELLING FEMALE ARTIST OF ALL TIME.
2ND OF ALL EVERY SINGLE FROM DANGEROUSLY IN LOVE WAS A TOP 5 SINGLE ON THE BILLBOARD HOT 100. A SONG DOESN’T HAVE TO GO NUMBER 1 TO BE A BIGGER HIT. EVERY SINGLE FROM DANGEROUSLY IN LOVE IS A BIGGER HIT THAN KERI WILL EVER HAVE.
KERI HILSON IS A F****** FAILURE. THE B**** NEEDS TO BE SHOT FOR THE WAY SHE BUTCHERED THE NATIONAL ANTHEM.
AND HOW DARE U SAY COMPARE HER TO JAZMINE SULLIVAN? B**** JAZMINE SULLIVAN SLAYS HER IN EVERY WAY POSSIBLE. JAZMINE SINGS BETTER, SHE WRITES BETTER SONGS FOR HERSELF & OTHER ARTIST. JAZMINE WROTE “EVERYTHING TO ME” BY MONICA WHICH WAS #1 ON THE R&B CHARTS FOR 7 WEEKS! WHAT WAS KERI’S LAST HIT ON ANY CHART? EXACTLY SIT THE F*** DOWN. NO ONE’S CHECKIN’ FOR MISS MUFFINTOP FLOP.
DOES THAT MAKE THEM BETTER IF THEY CAME OUT ON THERE OWN AND NOT WITH A GROUP?
MICHAEL JACKSON CAME OUT WITH A GROUP AND HE’S THE BIGGEST ARTIST EVER. NO ONE CAN TOUCH WHAT HE’S DONE. BUT BECAUSE HE CAME OUT WITH A GROUP THAT MAKES HIM LESS OF ARTIST THAN PEOPLE WHO DIDNT? CHILE PLEASE.
*Waits for the HITS that Miss Sullivan wrote besides as “they” said Monica’s “Everything To Me”*
Whistle’s 🙂
she has the it factor but her ego gets in her way with her insulting artists she wrote for before that made her look bad.
FUNNY HOW PEOPLE COME FOR BEYONCE HAVING FEATURES WHEN YOUCAN POINT OUT ANY OF BEYONCE’S COLLABORATIONS AND CONCLUDE THE FEATURE ARTIST WA SNOT NEEDED, ALL OF HER COLLABORATIONS WOULD HAVE BEEN HITS WITH OR WITHOUT THE ACCOMPANIMENT OF ANOTHER ARTIST. AND LETS NOT GET IT TWITED OTHER ARTIST RIDE BEYONCE TRAIN, SHE IS NEVER THE PASSENGER! BEYONCE IS ALWAYS THE LEAD ARTIST!!!!
#FACT ALL OF BEYONCE’S BIGGEST HITS, IN THE U.S AND WORLDWIDE ARE “SOLO” GLOBAL SMASHES.
SINGLE LADIES
IRREPLACEABLE
HALO
IF I WERE A BOY
LISTEN
TO NAME A FEW.
WE ARE NOT HERE FOR ARTIST, OR FANS OF ARTIST WHO PEAKED IN THE 90’S AND WANT TO BE BITTER NOW. WE ARE ALSO NOT HERE FOR BANDWAGON AND PIGGYBACKING!!! BEYONCE WORKED FOR EVERY OUNCE OF SUCCESS SHE HAS RECEIVED SHE WAS THE MAIN FORCE BEHIND DESTINYSCHILD AND HER SOLO ENDEAVORS! SHE WAS NOT LETOYA, TAVIA, FARAAH, RKELLY, OR CHELLE ALONG FOR THE RIDE WHEN YOU WRITE, PRODUCE, VOCAL PODUCE, AND SING ALL THE VOCALS @ EVERY PROMOTIONAL STOP AND TOUR DATE, ITS NO LONGER NEEDING THE HELP, YOU WERE THE HELP! JUST LIKE NOW ALL OF DESTINYS CHILD ALBUMS ARE IN THE “BEYONCE” SECTION AT EVERY WALMART IN AMERICA BECAUSE SHE WAS THE GROUP AND SHE SOLD THE GROUP! 90% OF THE PEOPLE PAY TO SEE OR HEAR BEYONCE, NOT ANY OF THE OTHER 5 MEMBERS. I DONT SEE A “KELLY ROWLAND” SECTION IN WALMART, OR FARRAH, LATAVIA, LETOYA, OR MICHELLE SELLING DESTINYS CHILD CDS AND THEIR OWN. MISS ME WITH THAT STARTED IN A GROUP B*******!
The Way I Izzzzzzzzzz
HUMMM WHITNEY ISN’T THE BEST SELLING FEMALE ARTIST OF ALL TIME THAT BELONGS TO CELINE OR MADONNA
Seems like Kelly Rowland is also searching for solo success.. at least Keri has more solo hits them her.. POT AND CATTLE MUCH???
Spend all this time hating on girls like Rhianna and Christina, when in actuality you wish your girl (kelly) had their success and achievements.
The Way I Izzzzzzzzzz
SO WHATS YOUR POINT BEYONCE CAME FOR A GROUP SHE STILL MADE A NAME FOR HERSLEF AS A SOLO ARTIST
KERI WILSON WILL NEVER HIT THE LVL OF BEYONCE’S JUST FACE IT
nate
PLZ WHEN KERI WILSON GETS A GRAMMY KELLY HAS 2 AS A SOLO ARTIST 2 WORLDWIDE HUGE #1 HITS ONE WAS #1 IN THE US FOR 10 WEEKS IN A ROW
THE PROBLEM WITH KERI HILSON IS THAT SHE’S ARROAGNT AND TO FULL OF HERSELF. SHE’S JUST ANOTHER HOODRAT WITH NO CLASS. WHEN SHE CAME OUT IT SEEMED LIKE SHE GOT HERSELF TOGETHER BUT WHEN SHE DISRESPECTED CI AND BEY SHE MADE PEOPLE DISLIKE HER. PLEASE DON’T COMPARE THIS BIRD NECK D*** AGAINST THE LIKES OF CIARA AND BEYONCE. SHE MADE HERSELF IRREVELANT AND IT’S SAD BECAUSE SHE COULD HAVE BEEN ON TOP LIKE THEM BUT THINGS DON’T GO AS THEY ARE PLANNED HUH? KERI NEEDS TO GET HER S*** TOGETHER BEFORE SHE STARTS ANOTHER CONTROVERSEY ON HERSELF AND HER CAREER. AND U D*** INFESTED TRAINWRECK KERI WILSON STANS CAN GIVE IT UP BECAUSE IT’S PATHECTIC HOW Y’ALL MENTION QUEEN CI’S NAME JUST TO HELP SCARY GET HITS….
CIARA PRINCESS HARRIS 2010!!!!!!
NOBODY TOLD HER TO DISS BEYONCE AND CIARA THEY DIDN’T DO NOTHING TO HER SHE THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BLOW UP BUT NO IT BACKFIRED IN HER FACE KNOW SHE GOTTA DEAL WITH IT KERI BIRD WILSON
KERI CANT COME FOR KELLY ROWLAND EITHER!!! DONT YOU EVER DO IT! KELLY IS ALSO IN THE HISTORY BOOKS AS WELL, SHE WILL ALWAYS BE APART OF “THE” BIGGEST SELLING FEMALE GROUP IN HISTORY!!!!
ASIDE FROM THAT KELLY HAS ACCOMPLISHED S*** WORLDWIDE THAT KERI COULD ONLY DREAM OF, AND SHE HAS ALSO SEEN THE PENT HOUSE (THE #1 SPOT) OF THE HOT 100 HERE IN THE U.S. WITH ONE OF THE BIGGEST SONGS OF THE PAST DECADE!!!! ALSO RECEIVING A “SOLO” GRAMMY FOR IT AS WELL, THE ONLY TIME KERI HILSON SAW A GRAMMY WAS INT HE FORM OF HER CAKE AT HER GRAMMY NOMINATION PARTY !!! KERI HILSON HASNT DONE NONE OF THAT!
KELLY CAN PERFORM “BETTER” LIVE THAN KERI HILSON
KELLY STUDIO VOCALS > KERI
KELLY ALBUM SALES, AND RECORD SALES > KERI
AT THE END OF THE DAY KELLY > KERI
I don’t think she will get a solo career
1st. Cocky attitude, with nothing to back it up with. Like Bey said “I walk like this cause I can back it up” Keri can’t say that.
2nd. She isn’t really a good singer or dancer. Better singer than Ciara but thats not saying much.
3rd. She attacked artist thinking she was gonna takeover. She attacked Beyonce, which is just plain stupid. And attacking Ciara which at the moment made sense cause Ciara was flopping.
But no she won’t get a solo career, so she better go back to making moderately successful for people with solo careers, OH and the fact BET called her a rising icon, shows how idiotic they are.
@Jonstrax thank you for clearing that up! They stack anyone up against Bey these days. It looks ridiculous when these artist get the same hype or is given too much credit after only being 1 album in!
@ The way I Izzzzzz Alicia and Xtina did debut as solo artist, but all 3 enjoyed hit making as solo acts during most of this last decade (Bey has since 2003). Alicia and Xtina have just recently released their 4 album and Bey’s next project will make album #4 for her as well.
Keri is a bit lame and her attitude coming in the industry wasn’t called for. Any newbie should put the work in and refrain from attacking successful artist publicly. She lacks alot of stage presence and her music is below average. A few songs were decent, but the album as a whole left alot to be desired. I really am not impressed with Keri, but if she was to humble herself and not be apart of intiating these diva wars maybe she would go further. As far as Ciara is concerned, people forget that she had 2 successful albums(with the first selling over 3 million in the U.S. alone). She has 5 top 10’s on the hot 100 and 8 on the R&B. Keri really has some catching up to do if she’s going to knock these artist.
she will definately get a hit, with this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuLQHK7gZKU&feature=related
No, she’s an average singer with mediocre songs. Her album wasn’t that good and already sounds dated but it felt as if “Miss Keri Baby” was forced down our throats, and her record company was intent on giving her chance after when other artists would’ve been dropped like hot cakes.
Dont get it
LMAO! HONEY HANG IT UP!
As usual, professional hater Trent with another one for the record books. You’ve got to be one of the most bitter queens ever. Keri and Ciara are not chart rivals boo, as Ciara’s newest project is flopping up and down. It’s funny because Ciara has only had TWO solo songs that made it into billboard, which were both moderately successful called Like a Boy and Promise, so you revealed your own hypocrisy by saying that Keri is doubted as a solo artist because she lacks an it factor. Girl please, and then you ignored Keri’s number 1 in Europe by saying it was “only because” of the movie. You’re so LAME, and totally alone on this one honey. The “many” people you are referring to are just you and Sam’s gay ass.
@ KEV
SWEETIE NO ONE FORGOT ABOUT CIARA HAVING MUCH SUCCESS THROUGH DURING HER 6 YEARS OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS. CIARA’S BLESSED TO GET WHERE SHE IS TODAY. IT’S JUST THAT THE FAKE FANS BETRAYED AND THREW SHADE AT HER. KEITH WILSON’S FANS/STANS ARE MAD BECAUSE CIARA, BEYONCE, AND THE REST OF THE MULIT-TALNETED R&B SINGERS MADE THEIR MARK AND STILL MAKING THEIR MARK. WHEN KERI GONNA DO IT? WHEN SHE GONNA EAT HER HUMBLE PIE? SHE NEEDS TO GET WITH THE PROGRAM OTHERWISE SHE GONNA GET DISLIKED MORE FOR HER B******* ATTITUDE.
@ GUCCI
WHEN AND WHERE IS RIDE FLOPPING? YOU’RE CONTRADICTING YOURSELF BOO.
CIARA PRINCESS HARRIS 2010!!!!
I think Keri was actually under tremendous pressure from her label to do that remix where she’s “calling out” other females. It was a HORRIBLE decision, but she didn’t even write that verse. I just feel bad for her because she seems like a nice person, but she made a bad choice. I’m sure she and Bey AND Ciara have actually spoken since the incident. People love to play things up in these forums as though they’re “beefing”. They don’t have no problems in real life as no one’s blocking anyone else’s path to the cash. I respect how some of you ride (no pun intended) for the artists you support, but the reality is, these ladies don’t have any REAL problems with each other. It’s just music. Nothing for you to concern yourselves with. LOL. I’m sure this all makes for great site traffic, but I hope you all aren’t REALLY buying into all this hype. I wish all these ladies the best! I’d love to see all these chicks do well cause little black girls need to see themselves in a positive light. All the cooked up “beef” (LOL @ what I just did there) is a bad look. Good luck to all you ladies in your future endeavors! (Like they’re reading this LOL! Hell, maybe they are! Ooop!) 😛 In that case, Hey girl!! Hahahahahahahaha!!!
Who the hell cares??? She’s so irrelevant…I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who noticed she wrote weak ass songs for other people…she is not that great of a writer…her album was wack as hell…she needs to be a print model or something cuz she’s wack as an artist…I’m Team Ciara all day…she can’t hold a candle to Ciara’s success so you haters can fall off a cliff…
THAT
FLOP
JUICE
this blog is.
if she get better production,then yes,but her collabs with timbo and polow just didnt really worked out for her…
she should try other producers
SHE’S DONE!! AND WHY, AS PER USUAL, TRENT KEEPS FESTERING OVER CRAP HAS BEEN ARTISTS LATELY? FIRST MARIAH AND NOW KERI HILSON. GET A NEW HOBBY DUDE… REAL SAD!
Maybe she should first memorize the national anthem before thinking of a solo career lol!
This broad needs to sit all they way down, she will always be a s*** talking flop and nothing more. She has no choice but to put other artist name in her mouth to keep her relevant, that’s how much of a nobody she is
NICE points BUT WHY say this now? what is the agenda behind this hit piece now?
@Lil CiCi
LMAO sweetie obviously you haven’t looked at billboard recently! Ride peaked at 79 and is currently #85 on the chart boo. That’s a massive flop so sit your delusional ass the f*** down.
I think Ms. Keri is has amazing and distinct voice and I feel like she will be successful as a solo act. All she need is the right music.
I dunno….the music biz is so corrupt…having #1s has nothing 2 do with being a talent artist. Keri’s only had 1 album so I think its a lil unfair to judge her sucess so early on….besides longevity is in songwriting…when these so called “it” artist who all have the same look nd tune start to fall from fame (most of them will…to be true)…Keri will have her songwriting skills to fall back on…who knows maybe this solo career isnt for her or maybe God wants her in the position she is….or maybe she might grace us with tht hit sooner than later…like someone said it to rihanna 3 albums…all in all I liked keri’s album nd material….so who knows???!!!….:)….besides now nd days being a “it” artist doesnt seem fun all the top artist are the same…talk about lack of innovation…
HA HA HA HA HA LOL FLOP B**** STILL CAN’T GET OVER THE WAY SHE TRIED TO COME AT BEY
HA HA HA HA HA HA U DON’T F*** WITH BEY
First hilson f***** her carieer by her own hands when she dissed beyonce and ciara and then denie it second shes so overated and walk like shes own the place and jealous than bey and cicia third she depend on jumpin and every artist song to get a hit it worked a time or two and her vocal is a lil too eeeh eeh eeh in everyline she do on a song so she need the award for ho sit your ass down and the other big award for overated b**** of 2008/2009/2010 congrats keri call me a hater a b**** the f*** u wont that just the truth
Ok so is it safe to Say Beyonce can’t sneeze on Whitney…Celine..Janet..& Madonna? Ok then every Artist has there time……………
NEXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXT
TELL HIM THE TRUTH WAS HOT I ALWAYS LISTEN TO SEE IS THE COMPETION REALLY ANY GOOD
I was agreeing with this article SOMEWHAT until Trent brough up that heffa Ciara like she hasn’t collabed for all of her hits too! And what is with Trent’s obsession with comparing everyone to Beyonce and then bitching when people compare Beyonce to Kelly Rowland? Girl if you’re going to dish it then get ready to take it! Kelly will forever be a shadow in Beyonce’s footsteps. Keri is not checking for what Queen B is doing anymore, and her hits are her hits. How dare you make an entire post to bash her. Like really what did she do? If anything sweetie you should have written this article about Kelly Rowland! Her new video sucks and she will never be a solo success.
You Beyonce and Ciara fans are simply put, delusional. So what Keri dissed them, that was over two years ago…. get over it. Do you think Beyonce is sitting at home harboring on the fact that Keri made a song about her? No. If Beyonce brushed it off and moved on with her life, why can’t you? At the end of the day while everyone is hating on Keri she willstill be making money. Your biased opinions of her personally, cloud your judgment of her music. Many of her song (i.e. Slow dance, Energy, and Return the favor) are much better than some of the garbage that is saturating the airwaves today.
If jay-z, kanye west, t-pain, ludacris can have long careers by 90 percent of their singles having features keri can too or are you just picking on female artists this year
I enjoy Keri Hilson, but most of the songs on her album are not single-worthy. For instance, I love the songs, Alienated and Intuition, but would these make successful singles… I really don’t think so. I think Keri is capable of having a solo hit, she just needs the right song.
Yes I do agree Keri needs something to keep people interested and talking. She needs something that’ll make her stand out. Right now, she’s bringing nothing more than Ciara is.
And I’m sorry but Ciara doesn’t possess the “it” factor. She has nothing that makes her special. All she is is a great dancer. She’s not that good of a singer, she’s not all that pretty, she can’t dress and she doesn’t have that makes her stand out. just saying.
do yall not understand ciara point in releasing ride?the point is to get her urban fanbase back and she is doing that come holla at me when it goes top 5 on the r & b charts thats the point of ride and wait until she release the uptempo crossover record.you people are speaking to fast wait til everything is said and done with all of these ladies!!!!!!!!!!1
& she gon keep searching sit down keri
@ Phard, THANK YOU! That’s what ive been saying forvever! These damn Bey Bots and Ciara stans are still bitching about some song remix that Beyonce and Ciara themselves probably couldn’t have cared lass about. You losers act like Keri pissed in your Cheerios or something. Damn, get over it, stop stanning, Beyonce and Ciara will still never give a damn about you defending them!
As for Keri…I actually have her album and enjoy it. But the problem with her to me is that she’s kind of boring. She doesn’t stand out. I love her music, but her performances and iterviews are boring. She kind of blends in with the other Pop/R&B chicks like Ciara and Teiarra Mari, except for she’s got some major songwriting skills.
I also don’t know why Sam and Trent are going after Keri for collaborating as if Beyonce and Ciara don’t do the same thing. Don’t act like some of Ciara and Bey’s hits weren’t collabos…
YESSSSSSSSSSS PREACH KOOLERZ!!!!! LOL
SKERI FLOPSON HAS NO DAMN “IT” FACTOR OR STAGE PRESECE AT ALL!
YOU DUMMIES SETTLE FOR ANYTHING THESE DAYS.
Keri Hilson is so lame to me.
First off, she tries too damn hard to be something she’s not! She attempts to put on an image and style that will keep her from being compared to other artists such as Ciara, Beyonce, Rihanna, etc. Everytime I see her, it’s like she’s screaming “HEY, I”M NOT LIKE ANY OTHER ARTIST! I’M TOTALLY ORIGINAL.” Which comes off as sooooo fake and phony!
Secondly, she’s extremely too cocky! Baby, you are not all of that! She talks so much s*** as if she can back it up, when it’s obvious she can’t and she hasn’t!
Also I find her voice to be kind of annoying! Her voice is not natural. That’s another example of how she tries too hard!
And please don’t get me started on that atrociousness that is her BET performance! UGH!
She hasnt sold her soul to a goat yet…that is why she hasnt got a hit yet..duhhh
I think she’ll get a hit.
Mind you, Change Me f/ Akon didn’t chart either. I don’t think it’s because she’s not capable to, but because.. the song isn’t uptempo.
People love uptempo bangers by Keri.
She should focus on that more.
wow……f*** you haters. seriously. you don’t know s***
she HAS had a hit on her own. I LIKE. it’s smashing in europe & the UK. so SUCK IT. s***
I like Keri Hilson. I think that she is pretty and has a nice voice. Why can’t we enjoy multiple entertainers at one time. Ciara, Rhianna, Beyonce, Keisha and Keri all have talent. Keri’s record ‘Energy’ and the accompanying video were great! Why do they have to compete with each other? Just do you and let us enjoy all of you.
She is wack and a Ciara knock off. Whoever mentioned that she was forced to do the remix and diss the other artist is correct. She had nothing to do with that. Keri was flopping and her label figured they had to make her more “hard” to get people’s attention. That was Polow’s idea. Her pop image was not working so they had no other choice but to try the urban world. She come from the burbs and is far from
hood.” I think it’s funny when she try to be hard. That’s her problem – her whole image is fake! She is a totally different artist now then when she first started out doing pop music.
Whether Ciara was flopping – which she wasn’t because Fantasy Ride hadnt even dropped yet – or not didnt give her a reason to diss her, especially considering they were cool with each other. Why go behind a person after you’ve been smiling up in their face and do something like that? That is foul.
For the record…Ciara and Beyonce have had hits of their own! Keri had two hits and that’s it. All the songs she’s been featured on recently have been flops! Only the songs with Tim early on were hits. The songs Ciara was featured on, and the songs off her debut, were all hits! So yes it is fair to compare Keri to Ciara and Beyonce, because if you compare what they did on their debuts to what Keri did…she can’t compare. There is also reason to compare since she decided.
Whoever said Ciara doesn’t have the it factor…maybe not to you but she has had plenty of success over the year, in and out of music.
You Keri stans need to do as she say and CHECK THE CREDITS. Ciara has had many hits during her time. Even if she had two hits by herself at least she have some.Keri has had NONE! Ciara has been featured on other artists songs and they’ve been hits. Most of the songs Keri is featured on are FLOPS!
Keri also wrote Britney Spears successful come back single Gimme More too don’t try to play her and only name 1 of the lesser songs she wrote for Britney. And so the hell what she hasn’t had a solo hit yet her music is still good and she still is getting paid royalties off her publishing deals.
I use to think Thatgrapejuice was a creditable source/blog before this post. The same issue(s) they have with Keri, also happens to be one that Ciara suffers from. Please tell me what SOLO hits Ciara has had, aside from Promise which didn’t do all that great on the hot 100.
That’s a big fat 0. Every single one of her Ciara’s hits has had a leading rapper on it.
I’m so disgusted that you would go to a great length to discredit Keri, yet forget that a lot of other female artists, including Ciara, suffer from “Can’t have a solo hit if my life depended on it” syndrome. Get real.
Keri >>>>>>>>>
yall b****** cant stop hatin on ciara because basic instinct gon send all yall ho’s home

If jay-z, kanye west, t-pain, ludacris can have long careers by 90 percent of their singles having features keri can too or are you just picking on female artists this year
__________________-
Jay – NOT TRUE. unless you JUST now started becoming a fan..dont even get me started
T-Pain – agreed. but no one is checking for him anyways. bad example
Kanye West – Really? Soo I guess Stronger, Cant Tell Me Nothin, Through The Wire, Heartless..have features? no.
Luda – agreed
what Trent is saying is TRUE. hes not saying that other artists havent done the same. but when ppl like Keri talk about how the “killed” this and that performance all the time, you become a target. B**** no. BET Awards was a f****** fail. and if you can give the rinky dink BET Awards a good show..your never gonna hit the Grammys, Oscars or the White House (like Bey) 🙂
*CANT give..
she’s a hit. that is more than a lot of tv programs
ciara is on music on demand
ciara is on FUSE tv
ciara is on MTV
MAJOR NETWORKS DONT SHOW FLOPS. PUT THAT IN YOUR HATER PIPE AND SMOKE IT UNTIL U PASS OUT
there is enough money in america for all these girls to have a hit. small minded low life foreign blacks need to be shipped home and have their computers taken away. they only use technology to hate
@Koolerz the biggest selling girl group in history is THE SPICE GIRLS sorry #FACT lol
I have noticed after Keri’s attack on beyonce..There were aline of haters that came stating Beyonce needs to sit down because basically their artist get no shine um….. MJ did his damn thing and wen he was around aint no one tell him to fade away. This is a damn business either you possess the skills to knock out your rivals (without trying to degrade them) or you aint got nothing at all. By the way if your Beyonce nay sayer please tell me why she still is givin the female and MALE artist a run 4 their money, if she is sooo bad?!!!!
You’re right. Keri never had the it factor. We just got caught up in the you-know-what. No unique talent here.
I think the worse thing that Keri has done to f*** up her career is making a TWITTER account. lol. im serious..because through twitter, this b**** says some of the most ignorant, cocky mess..and them deletes them like a b**** once a lot of people start to take notice. Shes taken many low key shots at a lot of artists and boosts about her self. Talkin about how she killed the national anthem..like b**** no you didnt. lmfaoo. I loveddd Keri when Knock You Down came out, but her attitude is stank. and that turns me off (no pun intended).
Vocally: her music, voice and stage presence isnt anything special either. people are hyped up at the fact that she “writes” her own music. okay and? so does Soulja Boy. loll. Can we write a hit with no features though, Keri?
Aside from the Britney tracks, her only significant contribution was bringing about the creation of the hilarious “Keri Hilson … Who?” video.
Are we forgetting that Keri’s debut album sold more copies than Ciara THIRD album? LMFAO!!!!
Ciara stans take a f****** seat!
I laugh at Beyonce stans when they say they don’t like Keri Hilson because she talked about Beyonce. Like that has anything to do with why you don’t like her. Yall just a bunch of haters point blank. Rihanna never ever said sh*t about Beyonce and always said she looked up to her yet yall hate Rihanna and would probably push her off a cliff if you could. So bye! Gone head Miss Keri Baby and continue to make the Bey stans mad!
I don’t get trent or sam, if they ain’t slaggin off beyonce 1 min they are making comparisons the next….
Keri comes across as a b**** when you read what she writes on her blog and how she talks..
i think its cause she has no great materials to boost. like seriously, i love energy but how can it possibly be a hit? and slow dance? MUCH WORSE. If she has a solo song that sounds like turn me on, im sure it will be a clubber hit.
“This is the question that many critics have been asking themselves”……..?
#SITDOWN
You are STUPID! Critics don’t have time to wonder about who is going to flop and who is not. They are busy working unlike that insignificant trash called Trent.
I cant believe my EYES !
“ciara posseses”???
ARE you F*cking serieus ??
Ciara has MANY “featering songs” !!! From her debut single till her last …..
Goodies, 1,2 Step, Oh, Get Up, Cant leave em Alone, Thats Right, Go Girl, Never Ever, Love S** and Magic, Work and Ride …. So I REALLY dont get your point Sam!!!!
Ciara and Keri are in the same league! Hell Keri wrights her own songs and CAN sing ….
Not to take anything away from Ciara, I enjoy her music and everything … just dont get it twisted ….
Well, whatever…
Some of you here keep dissing Mariah but the truth is… – SHE CAN’T BE REACHED by any of the singers you mention here or anywhere… NEVER… 🙂
this b**** is too cocky, and her attitudes sucks!
she needs to take some lessons from beyonce on to be humble and well composed
International Asshole I get your point. I had no idea about Keri’s personality until now. I do not get caught up in artists’ personal lives but I get your point. However, my point is true about all the rappers I mentioned.
Promise was #1 on the rnb charts, and Like A Boy went top 10. So how did Ciara not have a hit on her own. Some of yall are so press to discredit her that you’re making yourselves look lost.
Keri does not write all her own songs. And please don’t go bragging about Keri’s singing…she needs a lot of work in that department. Ciara writes some of her songs, and has written for other artists too.
Keri’s first album sold more than Ciara’s third album, so what. Compare the debuts and there is no comparison. Let’s see with Keri is at – or if she will even make it to a third album.
Stop trying to discredit one artist to bring the next one up. Because all you Keri supporters are doing is embarassing yourselves and proving the others to be right.
Yes! Keri’s constant talking about how she killed this and that is annoying. STFU! Especially when that’s all she puts on is half ass performances. She is very insecure and it shows!
TJ,
But still people would pay to see a Ciara show, because she’s an overall entertainer, she can dance her ass off and the world knows that.
It’s like she can perform her songs without Missy Elliott, Ludacris, and Petey Pablo.
When Keri performs “Knock You Down,” or even “Turnin’ Me Own” it just isn’t hott.
But I agree they are force feeding the world Keri Hilson. Ashanti and Ciara’s fame came naturally, it flowed right into place. That’s a MAJOR difference!
I really like Keri Hilson. There’s something about her that makes me want her to succeed.
Nicki Minaj as well lol, her first two solo singles are a fail too but her collabs are all cash
Keri’s tweet arent particularly cocky!
I WOULD LOVE TO SEE KERI HILSON MAKE A SOLO EFFORT. AND SINCE SHE’S WORKING ON HER SOPHOMORE ALBUM, I HOPE SHE EXPERIMENTS WITH HER VOICE AND MAKE IT SOUND MORE WHOLESOME.
THAT WAY, WHEN THIS SOPOHMORE ALBUM DROPS, AND YOU LISTEN TO THE WHOLE THING AND THEN YOU LISTEN TO HER DEBUT ALBUM, YOU WON’T EVEN RECOGNIZE HER VOICE ANYMORE. THAT WAY THE FANS WILL BE ABLE TO TELL THAT SHE HAS GROWN VOCALLY.
PLUS I WOULD LOVE IT IF SHE MADE SOME ICONIC SONGS, TIMELESS SONGS – INSTEAD OF GHETTO SONGS ALL THE TIME.
WE’LL JUST HAVE TO SEE HOW IT’S ALL GOING TO PLAY OUT
woahh you guys need to chill !
all this is not even that serious
i love keri hilson
so honestly whyy post if you have something negative to say
haters??? Muchhh!
—–just saying! & when her new album comes out,
everyones gunna see whos the best.
enough said, so dont even reply to this
w’ell let her next album speak to all her Haters out there!
-signing off♥ youu keri xoxo!!
