Our friends over at The Ladies Room joined R&B vixen Keri Hilson during her recent promotional push for new LP ‘No Boys Allowed’.

Check out the ever-candid Keri in action below. The clip really captures the testing and unglamorous reality of the music industry. Still, I could think of worse jobs.

Christina Milian’s ‘Dip It Low’ is this week’s selection for From The Vault. Released as the 1st single from her ‘It’s About Time’ album in March 2004, the song peaked at #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 and at #2 on the Official UK Singles Cart, becoming Milian’s biggest hit to date.

The remix of the track, which featured Fabolous and Samy Deluxe, also achieved critical acclaim, scoring a Grammy Award nomination for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration. ‘It’s About Time’ also received a Grammy nod for Best Contemporary R&B Album.

Although Milian does not have the most powerful voice, she is certainly competent with a mic and has a natural star quality that cannot be denied. Once Milian manages to keep her personal and professional life separate, and stays focused on her music, then there is no reason why she couldn’t have a successful comeback.
