Video: Keri Hilson Performs In Tokyo

Published: Tuesday 10th Aug 2010 by Sam

R&B singer Keri Hilson has been laying low as of late recording her sophomore album; this, however, has not stopped the 27 year old from performing across the globe. Case, point, example, her recent promotional trip to Tokyo for the Summer Sonic Festival.

Check out Hilson’s performance of ‘Slow Dance’, the last single to be lifted from her ‘In A Perfect World’ LP, below…

Straining (at times) aside, Hilson delivered a solid showing. Though not the most rousing of performers, it’s hard to deny her growth and increasing consistency – something which makes the critique often levelled against her somewhat confusing.

  7. CIARADABESS August 10, 2010

    She sounds a little bit better than Rihanna. Meaning she sounds horrible.

  8. guinness stout August 10, 2010

    sorry for the misspells “growing” “that”

  9. keri and ciara R flawless August 10, 2010

    i sure would love to see atlanta’s finest redbone chicks put these yella heffas to shame by doing a collabo.

    keri and ciara dont have an ugly spot on them, riri has that big 4 head, and bey has those gout legs. they can’t even compete with keri and cici.

  10. KERI WOULDNT WORK WITH A FLOP LIKE C-ERROR August 10, 2010

    keri’s album in a perfect world still selling awhile c-error’s career is still flopping

  11. futurestarDELUX August 10, 2010

    SHE SOUNDED LIKE A CAT HAVING AN ORGASM….

    I LISTEN TO A LOT OF JAPANESE MUSIC AND BELIEVE ME THE JAPANESE DON’T NEED THAT S*** WHEN THEY HAVE BETTER R&B SINGERS LIKE NAMIE AMURO OR ICONIQ.

    ICONIQ – “BYE NOW” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ofAMDn_0eQ

  12. Robier August 10, 2010

    Ok now that the vocals are decent TAKE THE GRANNY PANTS OFF. THIS GENERATION ONLY CARES FOR IMAGE…. IF U FAIL @ IMAGE THEY DON’T CARE ABOUT VOCALS.

  13. CIARADABESS August 10, 2010

    How much did Keri Hilsons sell in the us? 300,000 more copies than Fantasy Ride WOW

    Now comparing both first albums. How much did Ciara sell? about 4 Million copies

    How much did Keri sell? 600,000-700,000 copies. YEAH THOUGHT SO B****!

    And Keri first three singles flopped harder a night on a Rihanna concert.

    Ciara- Goodies #1 Hot 100
    Keri Hilson- Energy #78 Hot 100

    Ciara- 1, 2 Step #2 Hot 100
    Keri- hilson- Return the favor- NOT FOUND WHERE ON CHARTS

    Ciara- Oh- #2 Hot 100
    Keri Hilson- turning Me On- #15 Hot 100

  14. EXPOSED August 10, 2010

  17. Bugsy August 10, 2010

    Ciara performed at the VMA’s in Japan last year. 2009.

    Why do people lie so much ? Grow up and go take your meds.

  18. UmYa August 10, 2010

    Wow CIARADABESS proves how delusional and downright stupid he/she is.
    How the hell can you compare the sales of an album released SIX YEARS AGO [2004] to an album released in 2009 ?
    Gosh you’re an idiot.
    It’s actually much more realistic to compare Fantasy Ride and Keri’s debut album cuz both were released in the same year.
    And Keri wrote songs for your fav so basically she automatically shits on her.
    #staymad

    And I can’t believe you honestly criticized Keri’s singing but praise Ciara’s LOL>

  19. CIARADABESS August 10, 2010

    That is all.

  36. True Blue August 10, 2010

    I didn’t watch the performance, but I must point out how much Keri resembles Beyoncé in the pic up top.

  37. ~TeAM WeeZY~ August 10, 2010

    WTF was that? The same dry raggedy ass dance moves and she sounded like an electrocuted dog. Skeri need to go sit her lame ass down somewhere! If she ain’t the definition of FAIL I don’t know what is!

  38. b4u August 10, 2010

    Why do people hate Keri? I like her and this is my fav song of hers.

  39. C-ERROR DA FLOP August 10, 2010

    KERI TAKING A WET S*** >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>RIHANNA TAKING A S***>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>WET DOG S***>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> C-ERRORS BEST VOCAL PERFORMANCE.

    DEY MAD CUZ H*** ALBUM KEEPS GETTING PUSHED BACK.

  41. Try Again… August 10, 2010

    I’ve seen her live, she’s not that great. She may be doin’ more than I ever do in my life, but she should just stick to writing songs.

  42. Try Again… August 10, 2010

    It’s not about “hatin'” this girl, it’s about her NOT being that great of a vocalist OR a performer…

  43. cici sh@ts on skeri August 10, 2010

    ciara shits on keri day and night, up and down, inside out,even keris mom knows that!!!!ciara has sales keri dreams of, 5 million copies sold in the US alone, over 8 million world wide again all this with her first 2 albums not forgeting over 16 million downloads on top of multi milion doller contracts, keri must take baby steps getting to platnum status, which ciara has doubled and tripled!!!!!! Yes fantasy ride wasnt successful but she sure got exposure world wide because of LSM, oh and wait keri wrote one song for cici which was an album filler for goodies, and ciaras name was also on the credentials which means she had input, b****** skeri got nothing on cici, but i do how ever wish the song thief luck getting to platnum status, when ciara eventually dies she can rule the south , YEY!!!!! Until then kudos to you b******

  44. Swtnythng August 10, 2010

    @C-ERROR DA FLOP
    are you forgetting Hairy Hilson’s Return the Favor and Slow dance those songs missed the billboard 100 alltogether 😛

  45. ciarastanforlife August 10, 2010

    NOW THAT’S A LIE! CIARA WAS IN JAPAN IN 09 PERFORMING LSM!!!! KERI HAS ALOT OF CATCHIN UP IF SHE WANTS TO BE ON CICI LEVEL FACE KERI DIDN’T EVEN SALE A MILLION Y’ALL WOULD USE CIARA LOWEST ALBUM TO MAKE Y’ALL SELF FEEL GOOD LMFAO BASIC INSTINCT WILL GO STRAIGHT TO# 1 CUZ CI IS BACK ON HER S*** FACE IT CI CAN SING

  46. credits August 10, 2010

    anyone who says keri cannot sing is just plain delusional. though she may not be as strong as a live performer, listen to her album, listen to all those demos that leaked, its clear she sings better than ciara and rihanna. check out “wrong when you’re gone”.

  47. the thoughts of… August 11, 2010

    Wow the majoirity of the posters on this blog must be 12 years old, you guys sound ignorant with all this Keri vs. Ciara b*******. And then of course, throw in a few Beyonce ass kissers for good measure.

    I liked this performance, and I liked Keri’s CD. I can easily admit that she’s not the best vocalist, but I do think a lot of people throw shade at her for no reason, just jumping on the bandwagon.

  48. JENNY JONES August 11, 2010

    IF SHE IS 27 THEN I’M 14!!!! GTFOH!!!!………JENNY JONES!!!!

  49. Princebj August 11, 2010

    @CIARA ALL THE WAY B******!!!! F*** SKERI GILSON! TAKE DAT TAKE DAT LOL IM OUT

  50. Princebj August 11, 2010

    Grow up and go take your meds. lol good one

  51. Just saying August 11, 2010

    Why are people talking such negativity?! I’ve seen Keri live and heard her album, and I must admit, she is talented. I’ve also seen Ciara live and heard some of her stuff. She isn’t the greatest vocalist/performer, but there are still people out there that like her stuff.
    I agree with CREDITS, check out other songs from a performer before you claim they suck. Would they really get as far as they do without having some appeal/talent?
    People need to stop hating and ignore artists that they don’t like…why waste your time and effort???

  52. NOT A FAN OF EITHER December 15, 2010

    i like ciar keri rihanna and B
    but keri hilson can sing better than c she writes her own music and others as well now i’m not saying keri’s voice is all that because she ain’t touching beyonce but she is better than Cee
    honestly ciara is a performer yes she has that but thats about it. and for yall to be comparing there albums is crazy . as much as we are fans we have to admit who is a better artist? who has better music who’s lyrics make more scence who do you catch yourself singing to more. who is blowing up the radio’s yea ciar has been her and there but ciara has been out for a while.
    For Keri to be able to be compared to someone who has been out longer than her tells you something doesn’t it
    give her the respect she is earning
