Trick or treat? Indeed, that’s what we asked ourselves upon hearing that R&B singer Keri Hilson is set to release yet another single from her ‘No Boys Allowed’ LP in the form of ‘The Way You Love Me’. An epic video for which was shot earlier this week.
Full story (as well star-studded video set pics, and a live performance) after the jump…
According to Rap-Up, the uptempo release is being given the full works treatment by Hilson’s label – most notably with its accompanying video.
Directed by choreographer Laurie Ann Gibson (in her directorial debut), the short film features cameos from the likes of Faith Evans, JoJo, the Teflon Don Rick Ross, Polow Da Don, Columbus Short and Lloyd. The ladies in the clip reportedly play bounty hunters.

Sounds interesting. Although it does beggar the question; is this a last ditch effort to salvage Hilson’s sales prospects? For none of the LP’s earlier released singles have done much of anything on the charts (see: ‘Breaking Point’ and ‘Pretty Girl Rock’). This despite the album’s release date fast approaching (November 30th).
To be fair, kudos are most certainly in order for Hilson’s team. This is a quintessential example of pulling out all the stops. If only certain other labels would do the same for their artists *cough Kelly Rowland / Universal Motown cough*
In any case, check out Hilson’s recent performance of ‘The Way You Love Me’ in New York. Video set pics follow…
I don’t about this song. Matter of fact i don’t about her album. Her 1st album was the s*** though.
JoJo 😉
This video/song could be a hit. Go Ms.Hilson
i used to love her but she aint s*** now stop swaggjackin rihanna’s haircut tho. not a fan of rihanna at all but con son. next time rihanna gon get anothe hairstyle, u gon get the red hair too?! smh
peeps the ciara choreo..keri needs to take dance lesssons because her dancing looks very sloppy.. and she has the songs but thers sumthin she is not GIVING me.. i dont know what it is… if it was ciara.. brandy..kelly rowland did this song they wud slay it… its like keri is trying to hard
yuck
I thought it was just me who feels like Keri just doesn’t give you that SOMETHING!I agree that she needs to stop jackin’ Rihanna and do her own thing.I believe that Keri needs to develop her own style and maybe she’ll get some respect.I do hope that this video/single does well for her though,she really needs it!
FLOP ALERT!
PUshback! the cd cant come out with these singles. whats with the pic her lips and eyes are off. drugs ?surgery?
She looks like a cracked out Nicole Ritchie.
she looks hot i must say the song sound ok i need HQ verison
wow the song sounds like a serious club banger that will do her goood! finally!
This b**** can’t dance. Leave that to Ciara sweetheart. If Ciara performed that song she would rcok that stage.
I just don’t understand why this b**** Keri Hilson bothers, she’s horrible live. She can’t entertain. It’s like watching water freeze.
F****** DEATH @Queenbeyonce10
Its like watching water freeze
Lol. I agree, i just hate her performances. It’s a bore fest, and she can’t really entertain. Or the only entertainment is actually watching her act a fool.
nice concept for a vido she’ll find away to F*** IT UP though TRUST ME !!!
As for the song sound like a banger!!! As long as they STUDIO edit her voice and turn up the production for the beat she might have a hit!!!!
@THAT PERFORMANCE ummmm NO
GOD SHE IS SO TONE DEAF !!!!!!
I HAVEN’T EVEN HEARD THE “OFFICIAL” SONG AND I KNOW SHE IS OFF… SINGING IN THE WRONG DAMN KEY !!!!!
I haven’t watched a keri hilson performance since the 09 BET awards AND THE B**** IS STILL HASN’TGOTTEN “IT” YET !!!!
I CAN ONLY IMAGINE THE DAMAGE DONE TO EARS OF THE PEOPLE IN THE AUDIENCE !!!!
they get my condolences…
WHY IS SHE SO F***** WACK, B**** OUT OF BREATH AT THE BEGINNING OF THE PERFORMANCE.. UMMM CARDIO B**** LEARN HOW TO DO THOSE SIMPLE ASS MOVES AND SING AT THE SAME TIME.. SMH… ITS JUST SAD.. *WAITS FOR CIARA TO PERFORM GIMME DAT* BASIC INSTINCT 12-14-2010
Keri looks like a crack w**** who just did a line of coke in the pic she’s posing in with Rick. Her look is very tacky and cheap. I don’t care how epic the video is supposed to be, she still won’t impress anyone or turn heads. She just doesn’t have it. “Knock you down” was an amazing video and song with talented artists. That should’ve catapulted her to stardom, but sadly it didn’t. The thing about her is she’s not being her true self, she’s giving us so many looks and themes that aren’t her, and people can see right through the BS. She let the industry turn her into a puppet and that is her demise. She should just stick to writing those amazing songs for other people and stop trying to make her career happen, cuz it’s not gonna happen.
I cant with Keri…shes way too HOT!!!
Oh and the blonde hair she is sporting is unbecoming. I don’t know why all these black chicks think that dying their hair blonde will make them more appealing. It doesn’t, just make you look like you hate your DNA.
“pretty girl rock” is a cute song. i’m kinda surprised it wasn’t bigger.
She tries way too hard. What happened to just being you?
well i do hav to say that shez doin it big on the 106 & park countdown
She better not think about releasing this song before releasing “Pretty Girl Rock” as a single.
This should have been the first single. Keri just sounds better over a Polow beat than a TImbaland beat.
Let us remember that she released “Energy” and “Return the Favor” before releasing “Turnin’ Me On” which was her breakout song.
I don’t know what the f*** people’s labels are thinking sometimes. If they only read blogs and had fansites, they would know exactly what the fans want.
And she dances like B.Scott lol fail.
flop Keri Can come Harder then this. this video was wack sorry But i love Keri and all she can do much better then this and what with the song title, she said no boys allowed and she talking bout the way he love her WTF KH. come on now *disappointing*
Ugh, she looks like old white trailer trash in that pic. She needs to tan up her skin again. cuz the bright yellow skin and blond look is not working for her.
Oh, and she’s not tonedeaf; she’s lip syncing.
LOL WTF is this? Keri, sit down! OMG this chick is wack as hell! I think she may even be wacker than C-ERROR! That single was horrible! It seriously sounded like a bunch of noise and screaming. Wow, I knew Keri’s voice was a mess live, but this hurt my ears! Is she tone deaf? Isn’t it amazing at how much a producer/sound engineer can fix a singer’s vocals in the studio? That performance was a no no and her dancing was embarrassing. She doesn’t even have her own style and image. She’s rocking Rihanna’s blonde DON’T so I guess when Rihanna’s changes the red, Keri will go to the red. Her face is UG! She is so damn ugly and old looking and I agree that she looks like a crack w****. I hate it when people try to act like she’s pretty because of her airbrushed pics or light skin but she looks like a drunk and high bird. Her body is on point though. But Keri, go back to song co-writing.
Ok, im actually sold on this song! You guys wish rihanna or ciara sang it don’t you? As for her hairstyles, is that not an afro i’m seeing on her head? tell me when rihanna had a blonde afro….When rihanna did blonde was it because beyonce was blonde? How about when rihanna was rocking a short keri hilson bob which keri hilson did first…peep the ‘make love’ video. Yea, even i feel whack now making comparisons.
Ms Hilson, work on your abs before want to “show off” your “abs”..oh and I did not listen or watch that video..what for right
Can’t see the video at work now but is it just me or does Keri looks old & worn out in the face in that first pic???? I mean she looks like she has bags under her eyes & a bad makeup job! Girl Bye!
Thats a s*** picture of Keri with Ricky Rosay! No homo!
