  5. C-mo Love December 14, 2010

    I love this song and her swag on it but she seemed a little low on energy. That being said it is the Today Show and early in the morning. So I get it. Keep doing the Pretty girl rock.

    Definitely, the best song she’s realised in her entire career. I see alot of effort went into improving her stage presence… and it’s getting there. She’s an average singer live, so I am glad she’s doing less choreography – it makes her sound worst. LOL @ her mixing in James Blunt’s Beautiful, it reminds me of when Bey did Alanis You ought to know. If you youtube that grammy performance you can see Keri being salty and refusing to face Bey’s direction(like everyone else did) when she was coming down the aisle through the audience to make her way onto the stage, but she was obviously taking notes.

  13. CCW 203 December 14, 2010

    She should have performed “The Way You Love Me’ (video version-u**** version) since she’s trying to sell records…

  14. royalkev December 14, 2010

    * best song she’s released in her entire career.

  15. lisa December 14, 2010

  17. FUTURESTARdelux December 14, 2010

    i’m so dissapointed in Ciara, whatever success Keri gets she deserves because she’s putting herself out there.

  18. sierra December 14, 2010

    at least keri is trying to be relevant. i mean, it’s not working lol god bless her but at least she’s doing SOMETHING instead of ciara

  19. Niko December 14, 2010

    Ciara ” Basic Instinct ” Is #2 On The iTunes R&B Charts & #8 On Main Charts !!! & THIS FLOP RIGHT HERE IS A FLOP !!!

  20. S*** December 14, 2010

    UGH ==>>

  21. MISHKA December 14, 2010

    At least her singing is good.

    Good job, Ms Keri.

    Ciara, drop the dine and wine with Kardashian and do your promotion girl!

  22. S*** December 14, 2010

    Poor Skeri Stranger STILL TRYING… to Cross Over & make the White Folk know her Name… #FAIL @ her Label investing so much money in Promo, Marketing, Videos, Image Etc. They put so much money in everything EXCEPT the Music. FLOP

    She will always be a BASIC B**** & Rihanna shits all over her though most her recent album sucks its still gonna be better than this BASIC Skeri Whilson Garbage…

    Chile BYE

  23. S*** December 14, 2010

    Shes Decent looking but…

    Seriously, Is this B**** really WORTH all this PROMO???

    Queen Beyonce doesnt even do this kind of Promo!! 😐

    ==>>

  24. mindgames December 15, 2010

    @s***… wow..you beyonce stans are all the same. f*** you

  25. Dummies December 15, 2010

    …..Music does not start and end with Beyonce’…You Beyonce’ Fans Kill Me….Every time a Pretty Black Woman comes out ya’ll hate them and say they want to be like Beyonce….First is was Ciara…Then Rihanna….Now it’s Keri….Get over yourselves……No one wants to be Beyonce…HELL Even Beyonce doesnt want to be her self 🙂

    Keri “Rocked” the Performance…It’s GREAT seeing her being her SELF not wearing 100 ponds worth of Lace Wigs…..Doing Movie moves…Or treating the Stage like a Runway….

    Keri is not going anywhere so I really think ya’ll should just be easy….

    And as far as you Ciara Stans they stay on your job by talking s***…What has Ciara done with this Album?….Little to NO Promo….No Award shows….No Major Performances…A Banned Video and 2 Flop singles……

    If your going to talk s*** PLEASE…I beg of YOU talk the RIGHT S*** ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

    🙂

    I like RIHANNA, MARIAH & ALICIA KEYS & they are ALL BLK WOMEN.

    & NEWSFLASH, Its not just the ROYAL #BEYHIVE…

    NOBODY likes Skeri Stranger!!!

    Shes FAKE, Throws SHADE, a W****, her Music Sucks=BASIC, atleast those other women are PRETTY but can still back it up & be something SPECIAL. Whats special about this BASIC B****??

    Nobodys “Hating” on this FLOP. Sorry Its something about this B**** I just dont Trust. 😐

  27. No Boys Allowed December 15, 2010

    @S*** so you hate a artist yet you run to this site scroll for a post about her then comment numerous times? Right! A pressed homosexual who wont even have the coins to buy the album when it does come out i dont believe you can purchase music with an EBT card.

    OAN Keri is getting it in with the promotion. Interscope is really investing in her as the HBIC which i cant wait to see what happens, mind you Keyshia is also with Interscope and her album drops the same day. I wonder will she pull a Nelly when her album flops?

  28. No Boys Allowed December 15, 2010

    @S*** you sound like a insecure lonely ass f*** who has been beat and abused your whole life are you pressed cause every time you hear Pretty Girl Rock it reminds you of all the things you are not? Pretty or a female lol! You look so bad continuously commenting on how you hate her she is not to be trusted how can we trust someone we dont know personally? Illiterate also i see.

  29. DION-ISH December 15, 2010

    Personally i Dont Like Keri Hilson and i thought this song was a little to elementary for me

    BUT

    After all these performances, and hearing it a lot…it has grown on me! Enough so i WILL be buying the album (on iTunes).

    Promo does wonders! Because i swore at the beginning i was like i have no interest in her new s***! lol

  34. Curt B December 15, 2010

    She sounds a little hoarse

  35. Error Error C-Error December 15, 2010

    Artist Background

    Keri Hilson was born on December 5, 1982, [birth certificate needed] in Decatur, Georgia. As a child she studied piano and vocals[receipt needed] After college she began working professionally as a songwriter and producer, and created album filler for artists such as Usher and Britney Spears. She was also a background vocalist, most notably on Ludacris’ “Pimpin’ All Over the World. (When Luda says “sing it h***” she is the lead ho.) For reasons that remain unclear she was signed to deal as a solo artist and her debut album “In A Perfect World” originally scheduled for a April 1985 release was pushed back into oblivion before finally being released in 2009 but the album was overshadowed by Sasha Fierce’s wig and Keri’s nasty ass attitude.

    Keri Stans and Haters

    Keri’s stan argues that Keri is a real artist, songwriter, and producer. She does not just stick her name on songs that she had no part in creating#shade. Yes, she can come off as a b**** but that’s because she’s real, not some fake Hollywood puppet.
    Keri’s detractors argue that if Keri were on some Diane Warren/Carole King/Linda Creed type s*** where she had crafted songs and lyrics that became big hits or standards covered by a variety of different artists then it would be OK to play the “Songwriter” card. But when the zenith of your musical output is: “You got one more time to feel on my booty”?, it really makes you no better than any other random R&B chicken nugget.
    As far as realness, that is an admirable trait in a homegirl, or Facebook buddy, but they don’t make you a particularly entertaining performer, and the general public doesn’t care how “real” you are when they pull their debit cards out at Best Buy or Ticketmaster.
    Keri’s haters and her stan can get along by giving Keri one more chance. Forget the shade, the nasty ass attitude,the flops, and the shitacular live performances. We should all allow her to rise above being a basic b**** and re-introduce herself as a performer and public personality.

  39. Gilberto December 15, 2010

    I have to admit, even hating Ms. Keri Baby’s personality, this song is good. It’s better than most songs charting on the Hot 100.

  40. BENJAMIN December 15, 2010

    She is really a beautiful woman, damn…………..oh and yeah, this was a good set too.

  41. Crunch December 15, 2010

    When she slowed it down you really heard her lack of vocals! OMFG this woman cannot sing!!!!!!! Ugh FLOP!

  43. Jay December 15, 2010

    What is Keri wearing? Chick needs a stylist. She ruined that Ankara jacket.

  44. VA STAND UP!!! December 15, 2010

    It was a pretty good performance…considering it’s Keri Hilson. She never ‘wows’ but she manages to give decent performances. Much better than when she first started. Like someone said, it’s an early morning show so you can’t only expect much. It’s not like she is gonna perform ‘The Way You Love Me’ and start stripping. Thank God!!

    I like this song but for some reason when she performs it live it doesnt really seem as
    The video was the best part about the song, and since she obviously can’t recreate the video everytime she performs, its just not as effective. Her performances don’t bring the song to life. Like if I had only seen her sing this song live and never saw a video, I wouldn’t like the song as much. *shrugs*

    At least she is out promoting her album in full force unlike another female artist whose album just came out. Who shall remain nameless or course. -_-

  45. Alex December 15, 2010

    I think she did a really good job. I really think she will have decent first week numbers probably about 100k+

  46. Soooooooooooo Sadddddddd December 15, 2010

    Keri is pretty but, So Sad :-(! I didnt like the performance at all the outfit makes me wanna throw up forreal.NOT intrested in the new cd at all & the tittle no boys allowed, um makes me wonder bout her i think she is indeed gay. but if she has a featuring artists that i like then i will buy the cd only for that song that they are on crazy huh but she needs vocal lessons & she needs to get intouch with my mom shes a fashion designer & she will hook her up FORREAL she makes beautiful clothes, but she cant help with the singing part lol.

    it’s funny how beyonce fan said beyonce doesn’t even get this promo..that’s a f***** joke when beyonce album is comin out her posters everywhere, she everywhere and she has commercials 4 the album..it’s funny that yall look at beyonce as the greatest that ever touch earth n she’s releasing 6-8 videos per album but her album sales can’t match up 2 those who release fewer singles..u ever thing about that

  49. lola December 17, 2010

    Are we looking at the same chick because Scary Hilson looks like a damn parrot! She’s ugly as hell. It’s a shame that so many people will think a female is pretty just because she’s light skinned with light hair. And her voice made me tired. She was out of breath and she is not a great singer whatsoever! Her voice is boring and teeny bopper. I also hate the lyrics. They’re so childish and don’t have any real meaning to them. LOL at people thinking that all this promo is going to help her. Hardly anyone cares about this chick. Chrisette Michele is getting her promo on too but do you really think many are going to buy her album? Kelis and Amerie had good promo on shows like these when their albums came out and still, hardly anyone bought them! I’m sick and tired of these non talented chicks putting out music and albums in the industry and forcing people to think their talented or like them. Can we get any young, fresh, new, and talented chicks early next year?
