R&B star Keri Hilson had quite the embarrassing episode last night at the LA Lakers vs Atlanta Hawks game. While performing the US National Anthem (‘The Star Spangled Banner’), Hilson blanked out, forgetting the words to the iconic song in front of the thousands in attendance.
Kudos to her for continuing on (like a professional), however I’d be lying if I said this wasn’t just a teeny-weeny bit hilarious. After all, it just had to be Keri Hilson, didn’t it?! (I’m pretty sure the usual stans will tear her a new one LOL). Check it out after the jump…
BISH IS A MESS. HONESTLY.. NO TYPE OF CLASS.. STUPID, JUST LIKE MOST OF HER STANS.. LAMMMMMMEE! NEXT!
Then she tried to bring Aretha into it saying others have messed up..honey your not Aretha lol
I think kelly rowland sounded better but Ms.Nippy is Still the queen!
If she said yhat, Aretha gonna cut her a new one.
HORRIBLE her vocals are not good lot of lowkeys and failed attempt at old bapist runs. Ciara could’ve done a better job hell even Ms. Whisper, Janet.
#sitdown!
KERI IS ALWAYS AN EPIC FAIL. SMH
A mess.
this ugly ho messed up lmao she aint no singer
she needs to sit down and have some babys
YOU FORGET THE WORDS?!!!! = EPIC FAIIL
SHE SHOULD CRAWL UNDER A ROCK. BYE SCARY WILSON!!!!
YOU DISS BEY AND CICI, KARMA IS A BIYAAAATCH!
I bet Nippy laughing at this pitiful b****! WOW I know music is horrible now! This has confirmed ability to believe in R&B anymore! How do you forget the national anthem? Being pretty doesn’t give you a pass to be an dumb ass! I’m embarrassed for her. This is a sad time in music! Sure this has happened many times before, but I bet your sweet ass that Ms.Houston could have hit her pipe, roll her blunt, and drink some crown an not miss step! This happens when you don’t study your material and take it seriously! Some people need to realize that because you write songs for other people does not make you a automatic singer!
Wow that’s just bad! Smdh
HATERS! HATERS/RIHANNA STANS, PLEASE SIT DOWN BECAUSE YOUR B**** WILL NEVER EVEN THINK OF HITTIN THE STAGE TO PERFORM A NATIONAL ANTHEM, AND PLUS >> BEYONCE’S PERFORMANCE IS WELL FORGOTTEN!! LMAO
It must have been the crack that she smoked shortly before performing, fail
lol!!!
when did she miss up!
someone tell me at what time of this vid!
cause I couldn’t tell
oh ms. keri baby. what happened. it was not good. but some of yall please tell me why all the name calling. do yall have call people b****** and h***
alright cmon now, i think everyones being a lil too hard on her. plenty of ppl in the r&b genre have messed up on the anthem, see Musiq Soulchild and many others. sometimes we all get a little nervous but the important thing is that she kept going and ended well. every singer has their “off-days”, EVERY singer. i just wish all the haters would stop waiting for someone to make a mistake so they can bash them or say theyre not talented or cant sing. lets not forget she did bring home several “best new artist” awards and 2 Grammy nominations. GET REAL, looks may sale records bur they dont make you a grammy nominee.
hatin lame ass b******. EVERYONE has messed up a performance before. don’t act like yo faves haven’t. stupid asses.
You all are so full of hate… I dont get you… we all make mistakes, so what? big deal…
i think people are being a little harsh, i mean people have messed up before. tbh i didnt even know keri could sing, i thought she was one of those rihanna types..
O miss carried baby, what happened
That ain’t my National anthem so.
Good job regardless Keri.
That’s what she gets for dissing Ciara & Beyonce lol! I kinda like Keri tho (people make mistakes…)
Oh god. People are so ridiculous. so she messed up on a word. So what. People still gonna by her stuff. She sounded good. At least it was a song she messed up on and not some more serious s*** that a lot of other entertainers have messed with. Like drugs, inappropriate s**, violence and thing of that nature. f*** up a song, please, f*** it up.
ugh her voice makes my stomach hurt….I dont even care that she messed up the song…the b**** cant sing AT ALL
what a loser lol
she talk so much s*** yet she can’t sing the damn anthem. SHAME!
I don’t mind the fact that she messed up the words because it happens to everybody. However, her singing was a off-key and her “runs” were simply lazy and pathetic.
#RealTalk
even RIHANNA who’s not american knew the words when she did it 4 yrs ago.
NOT “failed attempts at old baptist runs” dfgsjrkl esd,fh OMGGGGGGGGGGGGG
Mariah’s version was the BEST… EVER… EVER… EVER…
#fail!
WHAT A MESSSSS!!! HMMM
Ultimate fail! The flub wasn’t as bad as that low and rifty “fight”…even the camera guy said “what?” lmao I was thinkin’ the same thing. Keri baby, take your own advice and “sit down somewhere and have some babies!” or go back to just writing cuz u got a cute face and you’re ill with the pen but your voice ain’t the business!
Bye!!
Yikes…haha
im still in love wit her tho
hell nawl!!!!!! keri don turnt ’em off……………….ALL DA WAY OFF!!!!!!!!
lmao that aint my national anthem so it’s all good.
Nah I’m playing… that’s bad tho… but oh well, I still love me some Keri.
WOW! She looks great. THIS look, seems more authentic to me. The other “look” was a bit contrived and forced.
If she wasnt singing the song like she was about to fall asleep or bored she probably wouldn’t have forgot the words . nice voice but i was yawning through the whole thing ,what if she would have starting messing up and began filling the song with a whole bunch of unnecessary runs and shouting LOL ,Now that would have been funny .
Oh goodness. She messed up y’all. I’m sure it was a case of nerves. She doesn’t deserve this much hate. Some of you are acting like she killed your brother or sister.
SMH. And Rihanna/Beyonce have nothing to do with this. We can go back in time and point out instances where they messed up too. Let it go.
Practice makes perfect, apparently she didn’t prepare herself, so she embarrased herself in front of millions.
Dead @ the crowd reaction. Lol funny
awww poor girl…fail
LoL! This was funny! I thought it may have been a mess up like mumbled the words she forgot but she did a totally different section of the song. I’m not a Keri fan but she’s an okay singer, I just don’t think she’s authentic. She looks FAB though. Loving that new hair style on her.
Poor keri,Yall need to leave her alone,it was just a mistake,it’s not that bad
JAMES SHUT THE F*** UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
JANHOVA HAS SANG THE NATIONAL ANTHEM A BUNCH OF TIMES F**!
“RHYTHM NATION” SHE WROTE IT, AND ITS BETTER THAN THE NATIONAL ANTHEM PUNK.
WHAT A MESS!
welp the crowd def coundnt SING ALONG hahahahahhaa she gave her own version … thats what happens when SIT DOWN HAVE SOME babies gets 6 grammys in your FACE and cici speechless song is good so maybe we dont need to “FIND YOU IN DECATUR ho*” girl you are soooooooooooooooooooo DONE …. LOSER FOR LIFE … BEYONCEEEEEEEEEEEE all day .. riri not american and she WOULDNT FORGET THE WORDS… didnt we all learn this song in ELEMENTARY music class i mean come on… in the my new fav song USHER – O MY GOSHHHHHHH LMAO
because she messed up a damn song, that makes her a b**** and a h**?
so what if she dissed beyonce and ciara, beyonce is not perfect either, how many times her ass has being sued for stealing other people s***,?
ciara has dissed beyonce too, so where does u guys throwing stones at keri, come at?
i swear to god some people take s*** to damn seriously, like beyonce or ciara, is yall mama, sister, cousin.
the ironic thing is the same ones on here bashing keri for dissing ciara, be the same ones on a ciara post bashing her.
keri do u..people always gonna find something to hate on..and be the first ones crying like a b**** when u diss their favorite artist.
I dont even kow why people are comparing keri to beyonce. shes not in the same league as beyonce. we all know beyonce can sing, shes a great entertainer..so y bring her name up just to bash keri?
and why is rihanna’s name is being mention in a keri post, beyonce i understand, ciara i understand, but rihanna? what the fugg she gotta to do with this post?
thats y i always shake my head when i hear somebody complaining that rihanna is being mention too much on that grape juice.
shes always on here cause yall stans always gotta bring her name up, on every post,
she aint got s*** to do with this post.
woww she sucked so bad. this b**** can’t sing. smh
I thinks it’s funny how that @Stoney-Brie character says “BEYONCE’S PERFORMANCE IS WELL FORGOTTEN!! LMAO”, yet she’s the first and only one to mention it. So it couldn’t have been that forgettable if YOU still remeber it. Right?
Kerry has a nice voice and yeah she messed up…To say the Bish can’t sing at all may be stretching it a bit don’t you think! I don’t know exactly what she did to make so many hate her so early in her career but I feel for her because no matter what she does, those that hate will still hate.
Alot of americans don’t know the right words to the National Anthem ( of course I do know the correct words!) but she was singing the wrong line, not singing incorrect words. I’ve seen people butcher the song ( adding words that aren’t in it, etc.)and while slightly embarrasing that is not butchering the anthem.
Damn people, it wasn’t bad. Okay, she missed ONE WORD in the song. Big Deal. I swear people make it seem like she is plotting to start World War 3.
She ain’t got s*** on Kelly Rowland.
lol it HAD to be sKeri… just her luck! oh well, we all make mistakes.
@ Rated X, can we please just pull up a little statistic on how many times you, yourself have brought up Rihanna in a post? Just because you cover it by claiming her “stans” bring her up first doesn’t mean anything because YOU always replay to them don’t you? Doesn’t that simply instigate the existing problem? Stop complaining if you’re just going to add fuel to the fire. I would have agreed if anyone else posted by I know you’re just doing it just to do it. I see right through you.
Anywho, Keri flubbed 3 words, but she sang great. Let it go. Stop comparing her to other artists who have nothing to do with anything. Like she said, EVERYONE messed up….Do you believe me or do you want me to pull up the youtube link of Beyonce falling down those steps?
Awwww damn Keri….well u looked pretty when u messed up lol.
That had to be the most boring rendition of the National Anthem I have ever heard. Way too slow moving and drawn out. And lets not even get on her mediocre vocals and her forgetting the words. SMH.
MISS SCARY BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABy!!!!!!!
SHE PHAIL JUSS LIKE CI-ERRORR
ON,ON TOO DA NEXT ONE SHE OVA!!!!
I dont have to watch the video to know that that it sounded like a 4 inch acrylic nails scraping against a chalk board. Keri Hilson is full of unfounded arrogance.
hatin ass b******..
how bout ya’ll go out there
and do it..
Hahahahaha
aww Keri
It’s okay
WTF! EPIC FAIL! B****!
SEE, THIS IS WHY WHITNEY’S VERSION IS A CLASSIC AND IS IN THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTE. YOU HAVE THEM B****** LIKE KERI, BEYONCE, MOORIAH, AND GANSTA CHIC MARYJ B WHO CANT SING CRAP!!!!!!!!!
Whitney’s version was prerecorded just like many others (you can look it up, it’s well documented as including prerecorded vocals). So there was no chance of Whitney having an embarassing moment like this one. Whitney was at her vocal peak at that time but still didn’t take a chance on going out there without prerecorded vocals.
@ Truth
Please, jus shut up!
Mariah’s version is THE BEST…
Mariah is THE BEST VOCALIST EVER…
Mariah is THE VOICE…
NOBODY WOULD EVER HAVE THAT VOICE AGAIN… THE WHOLE WORLD KNOWS IT…
Omg…

“That’s what she gets for dissing Ciara & Beyonce”
Yeah!
Ummm……WOW…..Yhea…..Well……. it happens to the best of them, I guess one would say. I guess the main question would be is “You perform songs (you) wrote in probably less than two days, night after night (your own songs) and dont forget the words. For The Star Spangle Banner has been around for centuries, taught when you were in kindergarden along with Nursey Rhymes”. The question would be, How did you for get the words to such a simple song? I guess cause it has nothing to do with s**, you wasn’t feelin the song. But it’s OK Miss Keri. Better Luck next time!
Oh another Tip: You have plenty of money. Do yourself and Career a favor a get a vocal coach. Its nothing wrong with perfecting your obvious skill. Keisha Cole did it and now she sounds Amazing.
woah dat b**** dat said beyonce performance well plz beu murdered dat s*** n keri cant even get bkd to sing at the ellen show h** stfuu ur dumb…keri washed up tired az f*** has novocals onlii can dance sit the f*** down QUEEN BEY AKA 6 GRAMMYS N ONE NITE ALL DSU BITCHHHHHH
she should have just kept the wrong verse going, it would have been less noticeable…O WELL! (& they wanna compare her 2 BEYONCE?!) girl….SAT DOWN!!!
S***…. I can’t remember those words anymore than you do.
She makes up for it, having a degree from Emory University.
((Go ATL!!))
She
Ruin
The
National
Anthem
AND
her
career,
FOREVER.
I
already
know
that
she
can`t
sing
at
all.
I
bet
whoever
ask
her
to
sing
it,
wish
they
hadn`t.
Wow!
How
could
you
forget
the
words
to
Our
National
Anthem.
Beyonce
knew
the
words
and
sung
it
and
did
Great,
Rihanna
isn`t
from
the
states
and
she
knew
the
words
and
sung
it
and
did
Great,
Blu Contrel
knew
the
words
and
sung
the
song
in
the
movie
DrumLine
and
knew
the
words
sung
it
and
did
Great.
Long
time
ago,
Whitney Houston
knew
the
song
and
sung
it
and
did
Great.
Now,
who
asked
this
chick,
were
they
high
cause
they
sure
didn`t
know
what
they
were
doing
when
they
asked
her.
I
saw
her
on
t.v.,
her
and
T.I.
and
boy,
was
she
TERRIBLE,
HORRIBLE.
at
First
just
by
looking
at
her,
before
they
started
to
sing
she
look
like
Rihanna,
cause
her
weave
or
wig
or
whatever
was
bright
red,
the
same
shade
red
as
Rihanna
and
plus
she
had
on
sunglasses.
So
you
couldn`t
tell
who
it
was
and
she
never
took
them
off.
Then
when
they
started
to
sing,
I
knew
it
was
Keri,
it
was
TERRIBLE.
Her
voice
was
sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
bad
that
her
vocals
were
very
very
HORRIBLE.
that
I
had
to
turn
it
off.
Thats
how
HORRIBLE
she
was.
I
felt
sorry
to
turn
it
off
cause
I
like
T.I.
and
I
like
to
watch
him
on
t.v.
but
I
just
couldn`t
stand
to
hear
her
voice.
But
we
all
know
that
she
can`t
sing
at
all,
and
tht
she
is
INDEED
A
GAY
AFRICAN
AMERICAN
WOMAN!
Forgot
something
i
bet
she
didnt
talk
about
Beyonce,
Ciara
or
Rihanna.
Aint
God
Good
by
bringing
Karma
to
the
people
who
needs
Karma
in
their
life
by
talking
negative
about
the
REAL
singers
in
the
world………………………
I
know
she
wished
that
she
wouldn`t
had
beef
with
them
and
this
would
never
happen
but
God
gives
people
talent
singing
and
sorry
that
is
one
talent
that
God
didnt
give
her……….
God
knows
who
to
give
that
special
talent
to
and
HE
didnt
give
it
to
her!

First and foremost. I am NOT a fan. But gotta say she did look good.
I wasnt done and my computer was just acting up, my brother,
Sean told me that she is in a relationship with Cassie, the singer.
Idk if it is true, but he heard it from his friend in college, Norfolk
State, said that he heard it on the radio that they have been together
since last March. Their relationship conciders sexual relationship
and that them two has even had a three some with Keri`s boyfriend.
But, I dont know if that is true or not, cause Brendon, is one hella
of a joker, but if he heard it on the raido then it has to be true.
I do know that she is gay or bi-sexual like Nicki Minaj.
