Guys I made a big blunder by uploading the wrong version of this video. You may see a blank screen at the 1:11 mark. Please ignore ❤
What’s the name of the song at the end/outro of the video?
I didn't even notice it until you pointed it out
We appreciate the perfection you put into your craft, but I didn’t notice it and it didn’t take anything away from the integrity of the video 🤞🏽
@BLACKFEMINITYTV I don’t know about you but to this day I still love “Superhuman”.
Can we have a teira marie story ✨
Keri gives throw rocks and hide hands vibes however, she didn’t deserve her career being blackballed. She’s very talented.
She does. She's very messy, and Catty based upon multiple events, including her beef with Ciara, and her bringing up that situation with Tierra Marie.
a lot of these celebs seem that way....and are! but we didnt see anything with many of them happened like with her.
Right others have said far worse!
@@dezinechic right
@@shannon6249 right!
Keri says one semi-shady thing and is canceled. Kanye says 84,294 extremely horrible, despicable things every year and is praised. The joys of being a woman....
💯
Say it louder for the ppl in the back
*THIS*
You can't compare Kanye and Keri. She has no influence and Kanye is one of the most influential people in the world no matter how people feel about him
@@AggravatedMan365 yes you can... that's why the person did 🤷🏾♀️
Her music career as an artist might be all but over, but the amount of songs she wrote for so many singers who are greatly accomplished and those songs turned out to be huge hits themselves. Keri Hilson will never ever be broke in her lifetime. She for sure is making upper 6 or lower 7 figures annually from songwriting royalties.
Definitely! She wrote some of my favorite songs.
That’s too bad because her first two albums were the soundtracks to my twenties like literally. Beautiful Mistake, Super Human, Energy, Slow Dance I can go on and on. ❤❤
💯
I was thinking the same thing!
Depends on her contracts
Keri let her small moment of success, as a artist pump her head up and fumbled the whole bag. Lesson: no matter how successful you become always stay humble.
Tell that to Kanye
A 15 year carrier isn’t small success. Do your research
@@slyfox2022 isn't Kanye West Bipolar?
Girl hush
@@lizet3moreyes.
Her “happy birthday Beyoncé” will never fail to make me laugh 😭
Okayyyy😂😂😂😂 she did not want to say it
LMAOOOOOOO YES
Lmaooo
Facts. 😂😂😂😂
It was the head nod after 😂😂😂😂😂😂
One thing that has kept Ciara so successful is because she minds her business and never speak badly on others
And she doesn’t have a Nasty, Uppity Attitude, she genuinely supports and uplifts others. That’s why she’s so BLESSED in her Life.
Love ciara.
I'd never forget her beef with Rihanna 😂
Big Scorpio Energy
And Ciara used to JAM. Keri should've stayed a song writer. She's too cocky.
She is the definition of someone who has no business managing herself online. The diss track is one thing, but it’s the repeated publicity fails after that.
And you can tell when she's lying; she over talks and hogs the interview
@@quickchange4386 but lying or not. She should just be quiet. Publicly. She could have survived that diss track, she needed to just shut up not answer questions about it and focus on pushing music. But it's like the Beyonce thing, Ciara threw her a lifeline, then she burned her for it, then she kept talking shit about other people, then shared her weird theories ect ect ect. It's like PR disaster after disaster. But if she just hired someone and shut her mouth in public, she'd still be making/writing music today.
@@andreasmangoyou sound very angry.
These are not your relatives, stop being so emotional
@@Moicesy angry about what? It's just an opinion.if it doesn't fit with your personal narrative than idk what to tell you.
I like Keri's music. But we are talking about how she ruined her own career.
Well Beyoncé and Rihanna did it more than her and they’re still thriving sooo
Keri Hilson forgot that she was dragging ppl that she shared a fanbase with. If they had to make a choice, IT WAS NEVER GOING TO BE HER.🤷🏾♀️
BOOMMM 😂😂😂😂😂😂, let that lil hype get to her head
😊
Keri Hilson having a beef with every single fan base is iconic for her, she’s a consistent one! 😅
😂😂
😭😭
Lmao
I was pretty neutral about her during the beyonce/ciara stuff, but after i saw her and Teairra going back and forth i realized that she is the problem. she is just not a girls girl. she really needed media training. at least she has learned how to apologize.
I agree
I agree. She comes more off as a pick me… like she want to make the men around laugh at the expense of other girls. I loved that she was lead in Trey songs video my side of the bed. She was so beautiful and acted well. I wonder if she would have went into acting and modeling would she have been able to get over that music drama.
Exactly! She makes herself seem like the victim in every story, you cannot trust people like that. She's deceptive.
Thissss!!!!
I agree!
Her pen is impeccable omg she wrote so many hits for big names in the music industry. I loved her vibe when she came out. I miss the early to mid 2000s music and tv 😢😢😢
I think the problem with the Keri/Beyonce situation is it was unprovoked and she didn’t take responsibility for it. She constantly denied it!!!! She needed a good PR rep back then and it’s obviously she didn’t have media training!!
Yawl swear yall know the background on these ppl
I'm pretty sure beyonce released that I'm that b song
In my heart of hearts Polo left her out to dry. He threw her under the bus COMPLETELY. It's so cringe the way she protected him and SHE was the one who lost everything in this situation
It ended his career as well
@@niiniibullock9756 it not in the video but no one will work with him because even though we didn’t know people behind the scenes knew he was the one who pushed her to do that remix and I think Jay got him blackballed and his wife left him and he has to stop doing music because of his health
This is a sad reality for many black women. Stop protecting these guys. If they do you dirty speak up don't protect no one but yourself. Look at meg the stallion among others smh.
the woman always usually does. which is why bw have to absolutely stop coming to the defense of bms. once bw learn that most of the shenanigans will be over.
That is a lot of songs.
Keri is definitely beautiful and talented, but she's also two-faced. The same thing happened when Jill Scott wrote and sang the hook on "You got Me" by The Roots. Eventually, they wanted Erykah Badu to sing the hook instead, and the song won a Grammy. Jill Scott could have felt a type of way, but that was just business. She handled it with class, and that's why she's where she is today. Keri could have done the same without all the drama.
Songs getting passed around happens all the time in the music industry....like music companies are the one who be creating this drama honestly....
@@cocomo3141yup
Keri repeatedly said she wasn't dissing Bey or Cici. But anyone who is suspected to diss Beyonce especially Is never given a second chance
@@diamondseries7221 That’s part of the problem. She clearly says “to the left, to the left,” referencing a Beyonce lyric, then later admits she was throwing shade, because the producer encouraged her to do it. Yet, she lied the whole time about throwing shade. That’s what two-faced is, the double talk, saying one thing and then saying another, whatever is convenient to say at the time. She did the same to Ciara, made up with her and did a video with her to squash the beef, but then dissed her on the Breakfast club when the opportunity presented itself. She could have just said, I’m not commenting on her sales, or hey, it can happen to anyone. But, she was thirsty for the bait. She’s talented, but you can’t trust a word she says. She did that to herself.
@@hiphopjewels Lil Wayne also uses the phrase to to the left in one of his songs "we're done", but why wasn't that taken as a jab against Beyonce?
Keri’s problem is she’s a mean girl and mad shady, but doesn’t have the backbone and wits for it. You gotta pick a struggle… you can’t be shady like that AND stuttering and playing dumb / backpedaling when you get confronted about it.
Like if you’re gonna take the shots you’re gonna take, you gotta do two things: 1. Stand in it and 2. Be incredible in your own lane.
Keri is dope as hell, big fan of hers since the jump, but *incredible in her own lane? No… not to the level that eclipses the nastiness and other women she’s taken shots at.
And before some fan comes at me saying I’m wrong, the proof is literally in the careers and legacies!!!!
I really wanted her to win, and still do… but the mouth run too hot for the cold brain behind it.
Because Beyoncé isn’t ?
@@SideEyeee_ read it again. Even if you feel that way Beyoncé meets criteria number 2: she is incredible in her own lane. So now what?
lol reading is fundamental!
She often stood on business tho 😂 she was often just loud and wrong.
@@choklitfactory Nah, I mean all that backtracking. "Oh it wasn't about this person it was just about the haters... Oh HE made me do it..."
Like okay, did he make you act like that when they handed you that magazine with Bey on the cover too?? He made you kiki at all that blatant Ciara shade on The Breakfast Club? She even backtracked just a couple months ago after throwing a dig at Teairra Mari. Still aint changed!
One thing about Ms. Keri baby, she is NOT going to stand on business... not anywhere it actually counts.
Girl my timeline was so dry! Thanks for gracing us with the entertainment as always ❤❤❤
On EVERYTHING. I kept refreshing borderline so bored I was about to cry 💀😂
You are so welcome!
You ain’t told nothing but the truth! Timeline been so dry I’ve been watching Candace Owens videos. Pure desperation 😮
@@stargazer_stacey7415 I do too sometimes and disappointed every time I listen 😂
Ugh same it feels like my brain is rotting
She is the definition of self sabotage.
“You took a 9 year hiatus, why did you decide to do that?” Baby that was not planned 😭
😂😂😂😂
She has an uppity, "I'm Better Than You" personality and overall pretentious air about herself. I'll never forget how she played Ciara multiple times (bombarding her on V103 with drama, saying that she'd call her later and never calling her, making up with Ciara on ustream and then throwing shade at her on Breakfast Club), trying to benefit from the industry execs who were trying to kick Ciara out only for Keri to be the one to get kicked out.
Yes that’s it she very much gives I’m better throws rocks and hides hands
Yep definitely stuck up vibes
Well she has green eyes. Are u surprised? 😂 jk obviously
She does, been around her in the past and this is accurate
She’s got to get some inner work going. Bc it’s clear she has not if she was doing this three months ago
I feel like because she had been in the industry for so long by the time she started promoting her own music, she was moving like someone not technically at the beginning of their public career. I wonder how much media training she received at the time? It seemed like she and/or the team behind her was just burning bridges without realizing that you firstly need an established fan base. This video was very eye opening. I loved Keri Hilson as a kid! It’s partially nostalgia because her biggest singles were everywhere at the time (pretty girl rock was everyone’s anthem when I was in elementary school. Everyone wanted her hair cut lmao) but also just her mile long resume shows that she is extremely talented. Regardless of anything she firmly has her spot in music/pop culture history.
A few good points there.
She is a writer
True. She saw herself as a veteran because of all her work behind the scenes. To the public, she was a newbie.
Keri had a palpable arrogance/nastiness in this era...that is what really killed her.
Can u blame her? You put all you energy into something and along comes someone who contributed nothing but bumps u copies your style and gets the credit.
@@brooklynbred1460Beyonce had already been established before her. She started beef with Ciara , her own friend. She was catty and rude
@@GenesisMiller-zf7ul 💯
@@brooklynbred1460who bumped her? Two girls who already were established popular artist who worked 10x as hard as her? Y’all be delusion.
Keri gives me mean girl vibes. She wrote songs for everyone else but had a problem with Beyoncé singing her song??? Cmon now Keri. I don’t understand why she was so shady towards her. She know damn well that diss was about Beyoncé and Ciara . Her saying Beyoncé need to have some babies and us now knowing she had miscarriages makes the diss even more tasteless
That part.
Exactly 👍🏽
It’s not that hard to grasp - she was ready to be in the spotlight and the studio felt differently. She was in Ushers music video for crying out loud. We’re all human, right? I dnt think anyone is an alien here.. so…
@@AnaAcuraErica She should’ve been mad at Usher’s team for leading her on, then. Beyoncé just sang some lyrics and cashed a check.
@@lakacialloyd9027 I’m sure she was mad at everybody! Who are you to dictate who she should’ve directed her anger to?? 🤨🤨🤨
You can always count on Charlamagne being in videos about people’s downfall
He sounded like such an instigator when talking to Keri. 😒
Lmao he’s so messy
Charlemagne is an agent of chaos
That look Keri gave when she was asked to hold that magazine with Bey on the cover, was the look she gave Teairra Mari’s hand! 😭 I believe everything they said she was doing 😭😭😭
😂😂😂😂😂
Right lol
The way she lied to everyone’s face saying the TMO remix wasn’t about Beyoncé. Girl, it was obvious.
Keri’s ego and jealousy of Bey was her downfall. She never cared before about any other artist singing her song but had much shade and hate for Beyoncé. USHER was the one that preferred Beyoncé and yet she never had any mouth for him. I really liked her music back when she came out, even Turnin Me On before she got shady. She got ahead of herself.
And that's my thing: instead of going to Usher and talking to him about, you drag Bey into the mess?? Instead of talking to Ciara directly about whatever issue as a friend you diss her?? Yea she was on one for real
She's a female competitor. She sees all other women in her domain as the enemy.
At the time she was a woman's worst enemy.
@@ch3rrikiss And women like that are the worst. It's one thing to look at what others are doing and try to bring your best game to compete. It's quite another to start one-sided beefs because you have a chip on your shoulder.
Kerri has better songs she wrote for artist than Beyoncé music lol, and she’s beautiful she had nothing to envy too bad she let polo and whoever to lead her in that way and she ruined her career but after saying stuff to Beyoncé she was blackballed fr too little to late when trying to fix it.
@@killeryhiltons8499 Just because someone is talented and attractive doesn't mean they can't be jealous. There's really no other way to explain Keri's behavior. While I'm sure Polo put the battery in her back she definitely had issues with Ciara and Beyoncé of her own accord, issues that they had no idea existed.
keri is the definition of someone who constantly puts their foot in their mouth. she speaks impulsively and then when people call her out on being rude or messy, she either denies or apologizes for her comments. the fact that she's still doing this as a woman in her 40s is actually really sad. if you don't know how to not be messy, then stop doing public interviews all together.
The irony of her saying Beyoncé don’t write anything that she sings but go on to say I didn’t write the diss I sung 😂😂😂
😑 Bey don’t write so idk what so humorous to you! Keri’s writing credits speak for itself. She laughing to the bank!
@@AnaAcuraErica 🤦🏾♀️ reading is fundamental. The point was she shaded someone for singing songs they didn’t write but claim she didn’t write the song that ended her own career…. Beyoncé is worth $800 million I would think she’s laughing harder at that bank 🥴
@@AnaAcuraErica I’m not reading all of that GoodNight bookie 😘
@@KK1UNIQUE 🤡
Beyoncé does write tho, she just collaborates. You people act like writing has to be all or nothing. Even the great Mariah Carey has co-writers. Be serious lol @@AnaAcuraErica
You should do an entire deep dive into the colorism in the entertainment industry and how all of our female “superstars” are all light brights. And basically how the industry hasn’t really changed in terms of women having to be “lighter than a paper bag”, stemming from the golden ages of entertainment
There literally so many videos on that topic as is… they’re here on UA-cam made by other creative. You’re just not looking
@theeOGseoulite we want it from bftv!
@@PrettyDreadie The topic isn't played out because it only became acceptable to speak out about in the past few years. Maybe you just don't want to hear about it, but history will prove that the first step to eliminating harmful things in our society is identifying them - then speaking about them, and then taking action to make change. It's so crazy how every time colorism comes up people are so quick to try to silence talks about it, but will speak about everything else ad nauseam.
AGREED I would love to hear her do one ! On this topic as well also to talk about how black women do not have the privilege in identifying as a biracial women yet biracial women are able to claim to be “a black women”.
@@PrettyDreadiefor you to say that topic is played out it's like you're saying racism is played out they go hand in hand and they need to still be addressed until the issue is resolved
Everytime I think of Keri Hilson I think of the time she came to my hometown to perform at one of our Pride festivals. Between songs she got mad at the audience because we weren't hype enough for her 😂 she said she didn't fly all the way here to perform under the hot sun for us to not hype her up
Yea Kanye needs to be on a different planet Mars, Jupiter, Pluto, India, Africa, China, Saturn.......
Not the Pride festival?! The gays will hype anyone up so she must’ve been lackluster for that response 😭
@@oc5297 Right?! The next year Jordan Sparks performed and literally cried onstage because the crowd gave her so much love. She's so sweet. She was like "this means so much to me you have no idea" 🥲
She performed in ATL for mlk weekend on year and it was dead af lol
Give your life to Jesus Christ
keri hilson was very talented but her attitude and cattiness definitely got in the way of her career, i think the beyoncé diss made her lose connections but it didn’t 100% make her lose her career like i think she still had potential (pretty girl rock was a hit and it’s her biggest solo worldwide hit) but she just disappeared
Had to be personal demons
@@6lacksappho456yeah i know she had label issues and i think she had relationship issues so it was probably everything bottled up where she just disappeared
She went to have a couple more hits after the Beyoncé thing she didnt keep up thats all
@@petuliaakue3638 yeah that’s why i get confused when ppl say she got blackballed because knock you down and pretty girl rock we’re hits after she dissed beyoncé and she won awards i just think she didn’t have lasting power and the team that beyoncé had! around 2009-2011 a lot of r&b stars were struggling to keep up (usher, chris brown, neyo, keyshia cole) even beyoncé had her lowest successful album with 4 in 2011
Yup
I used to love me some Keri Hilson and her pen is impeccable but I think her problem was she didn’t stand on business. She gave “throw rocks and hide your hands”. People usually like people who stand behind their actions or at least own up to them, even if it is controversial.
I love your video and content 💕
boom. azealia banks is a prime example of this in my opinion… that woman says the most unhinged shit but one thing shes gon do is stand on bidness 😭 its why we luv her
@@nafeeyk3340just like Kanye
Didn’t she cry when she got roasted on tv
For one, I actually love Keri’s music. But y’all gotta hold her accountable. The receipts are literally in this video. Beyonce didn’t have to sabotage her, she did it herself and people are obviously not going to want to work with her after that because they still want to work with Beyoncé! So no, Bey didn’t have to blackball her.
I watched that R&B Money podcast, and when she was telling her “I Ain’t Saying No Names” story, I was like dang, she still hasn’t learned her lesson lol
Their “opinion” on that manner was rooted in their hatred for Beyoncé hence her being the only person they ever mention when talking about Keri’s downfall despite Ciara being involved. The same way everybody rallied behind kelis when she complained about Beyoncé not giving her a courtesy call but the moment she spoke on Rihanna, their energy changed 🙄 people try and push this “y’all treat Beyoncé like she’s God” narrative to justify their unprovoked hatred and bias towards her but I see right through it
Your second point is the most tragic part of all. That podcast interview and the "insignificant" comment was soooo unnecessary.
VERY unnecessary!!
People in the comments hate Beyoncé no matter what so, they ignore it
‘Pretty Girl Rock’ will always ALWAYS be a jam! I always thought she was a gorgeous lady and a fire songwriter.
It’s still on my Spotify playlist in 2024.
My ish
It’s a difference between confident and cocky. She has always given the cocky stank “im better than you” attitude. And people tend to forget how that Breakfast Club interview went after she said she had no issues with Ciara. She was giggling too hard about Ciara’s low album sales. I love her music but she seems like an industry mean girl.
The industry let her know REAL QUICK though when she got herself blackballed.
I always wondered what happened to Keri Hilson as she had so many hits like Knock You Down, Energy, Turning Me On, and Pretty Girl Rock. It's sad she never made it far in her career for stupid and petty reasons.
Unfortunately that's the Music Industry & it's life you really watch what you say. Certain moves & things you say will hurt your career. And hurt it bad 😔😔..!! You see what happened to Janet Jackson SB controversy.
I'm glad people are now sympathizing with Janet Jackson as Justin Timberlake took 15 years to take responsibility for what he did to her and Britney Spears. I could say the same thing about Milli Vanilli.
Same like years ago I was wondering and my mom told me she made a diss track about Beyonce then her career became over
Nothing happened to her, she chose to take time off. Stop believing these false narratives
@@dashiajames1882even in real life if you want to move up in your regular-degular career. Certain things you say only at home to your family and friends, not in public and certainly not in your industry where people can quote you and show receipts.
If only she just kept quiet omg 😭😭. She literally had the full package and could’ve gone so much further
So in other words, just like I remembered when it all happened back then, Keri was a background songwriter that envied other BLACK women that were in the spotlight. She was insecure & competitive which made her intimidated by any woman that had what she wanted ie. Beyoncé, Ciara, Rihanna etc. She threw rocks & hid her hands & her career paid for it. The end 🎉 One thing I will never like is a bully or a hater.
well said! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Especially since she wrote songs for the princess of pop Britney Spears, by Britney's request, that definitely gassed her head up honestly don't blame her since Britney is very selective about who she works with
She was so talented, and just a natural beauty. I think she got a little big headed once her fame started to come in. But you can’t deny her talent and beauty. I miss her music, not gone lie, she had a huge high, and left some classics.
Tbh if she did that in 2024 she wouldn’t have gotten cancelled
Right😂😂😂😂
It's an unspoken rule that u don't go against someone bigger than u when entering any space. 🤦🏽♀️
Idk I’m the type of women to go against the grain but the difference is you have to STAND on that shi* and she didn’t !
This was when the Hive was unhinged . They was throwing Beyoncé CDs at her 😂 we grew up so much.
Lol..whhhatt 😂😂😂😂 geez that's rough
And the nerve of people saying the Barbz are the worst. Chile … I remember when the beehive went after the wrong Rachael 😩😂
😂😂😂
That's so low
😐😐😐😐
“No Keri Hilson, 5G did not cause Coronavirus” is insane 😂😂😂
The simple fact people thought that was true 😂
Absolute insanity!!!
Beyond the Beyoncé situation, her and the Rachel Dolezal, 5g virus AND 2020 trump post Jan 6? Whew THAT is what’s wild!
What about the Ciara situation? Doesn’t she matter?
These videos are always SO good. The angle thats taken by which the story is told, the clips, the research. Just so, so good!
I agree
BFTV delivers every single time.
@@eboniec9535Everyyyyy timeee🔥🔥🔥😁😎
Yes! 💯
The Ciara and Keri radio interview killed Keri’s career. When Ciara said cool beans after Keri spilled her heart out for 5 minutes 🫘 😂
This was so so so good!!!! please consider making a "everytime we thought Azealia Banks was nuts but ended up being 100% right" video... i just know you could do it so well. Love your channel so much
Such a good idea! Id love to see that from bftv
Ahaaa "I don't wanna share with y'all"😂😂😂
I didn’t know Keri Hilson was spreading misinformation about COVID-19! That part shocked me!
Wow, Keri literally blacklisted herself from the industry. 😮
Keri has not aged. Beautiful.
Why would she support Rachel dolezol…. She definitely needed to stop talking to the public.
Keri really let her talent go to her head, but was also simultaneously afraid of conflict. Like...how are you going to be messy and then backpedal every single time you get called out for it? Either don't be messy or stand in your messiness.
Exactly
A rivalry requires equal posture. Without the equal posture the word you're looking for is jealousy
Whewwww I never new she wrote all them songs ✨ that’s pure talent baby 🤌🏾
She gets destroyed for being perceived as “petty” or “shady” or needing to “humble” herself 😒but people like CB, Ye, Diddy, etc., get fatter checks and more fans whenever they are openly and aggressively menaces to society, people “you gotta separate the art from the artist” us to death.
You have to imagine that the people you were comparing have completely different audiences with different morals than Keri’s target audience, right? Like that might work with them, but the audience that Keri is trying to appeal to maybe they can’t separate the artist from the art, and the morality of a person does matter.
On top of that, as it was mentioned in the video Keri, Beyoncé and Ciara’s audience/fans overlapped. In this scenario she’s a new girl so someone who are already a fan of Beyoncé or Ciara are both now seeing Keri come at them disrespectful whose side you think they’re going to take? The new girl or the established artist?
You have to realize that Rap is a male identified audience, so of course acts like CB, Ye, Diddy, etc are able to continue their careers. A catty and shady R&B female singer isn't presentable nor acceptable to the public, it's not "Ladylike". When it comes to Black female singers it's best to move "Gracefully" with the B.S, any form of "Bitchy Attitude" will derail their success.
To me is people getting mad at her for being human, while others are praised for being emotionless robots and navigating by being fake. People just love the fakes and hate the ones who make mistakes.
Keri just talks to fucking much is what I got from this video 😭
All she had to do was ignore the bs but she seemed to respond to every cent of bs & i feel that's what ruined her.
She wrote EVERYTHING wow
“Happy Birthday, Beyoncé” 😐
I love that Ciara never been a scared chick.
Keri keep writing music she will be okay. The industry is a mess now anyways. She needed a strong fan base and she would’ve still had the career she had in the beginning. Look at Nicki it’s a lot of people don’t like her and try to get rid of her til this day 😂 but she’s still one of the top selling female artist. She don’t have the support of her peers or the industry but one thing for sure she has a strong fan base.
Thank you nicki speak her minds no issues but everyone in these comments talking about her makes me crack up fr!!
Nah Nicki DEFINITELY needs to be off the industry.
@@SideEyeee_no the fuck she don’t!
@@SideEyeee_ you crazy. Stop being a hater.
Nicki be talking all out of the side of her neck but she got a loyal Legion of mindless, brainwashed idiots to back her up. All I’m saying is if you gotta talk, your shit at least make sure you’re established and you got people who gonna hold you down. Because the general public is not really buying the music, the fans are buying the music. With a loyal fanbase you can survive the test of time. That’s why it’s going to always be loyal fanbase > general public support.
Keri Hilson first album was so popular when I was high school. But I think regardless if she dissed Beyonce/Ciara or not I dont think Keri popularity would have lasted pass 2010 anyway.
She could’ve came out showing love! But yet she came out being a hater for no reason! Why would a song writer be mad someone song her song???? But her big up Brittany Spears! She could’ve showed love to CICI when a grown man was hating on her but instead she giggled! It’s like she always start shit and hid her hands even until this day!
Where there is smoke, there is fire. What she did with Ciara was messy but her saying she has no issues with Beyoncé, but throwing shade when asked to take a pic with magazine or say Happy Birthday just proved she had an issue. It was way too early in her career to start that much nonsense. She was way too talented and wasn’t polished to deal with the messy media.
Keri stay out of your way!! When it comes to drama and bullshit.. You are a gifted talent and the negativity, and the vultures will always come at you.. But you don't have to give them no fuel or energy.. Your remaining chapters don't let nothing prevent you from delivering them to the fullest!!!!!!!🙏🏾👍🏽👑🎤🎼💜
The way she shaded Teairra Marie after all these years lets me know how nasty her personality truly is.
Right!! Ain't learned a THING from her past! 😂😂😂
My thing was....why did she come at another black woman...when she wrote for all them white women. Before Beyonce used her work.....she didn't seem to mind. Still love her tho !!
The thing is she never even wrote for Beyoncé
Y’all are so fake with that coming at another blk women bs like there is some code with us. We tear each other worse than anyone. Let a sistas come in stage with her natural edges and yall other blk women only will drag her. Cut the fake sisterhood be out already, it’s so fake and old.
Never said one negative thing about any of em, did she? 🤔
I can’t say that I’ve ever paid much attention to Ms. Hilson or her career. Thank you for your hardworking diligence with regard to the research I’m sure you completed to put this video together. I enjoyed learning about all the songwriting Ms. Hilson was involved in as I’d had no idea. She’s a pretty girl who allowed the unscrupulous messiness of those around her to guide her down the wrong path at the start of her career. Glad to see her emerge, hopefully, unscathed and cheers to a bright future for her 💕
The Turnin Me On remix was such a f*cking moment!! I literally remember where i was when that song aired on the radio. Me and my bestie were in the car and started scremaing, banging on the wheel, jumping all around while we were driving down the street because it was mindblowing to hear that song clearly dissing Beyonce. It was crazy! We went crazy! Self sabotage, yes, 100 percent! But a monumental moment in music history that had us all hype and amped up, also yes!!
lol i love beyonce but sh's the only one that had enough ballz to diss her lmfao
@@yeskaitlyn8029 Balls? Maybe. Delusional enough? Yes.
This is a prime example of how people will amp you up to do stupid shit. Y’all were that excited about someone dissing another woman? People like you are the problem. Just messy and immature.
This goes to show you that being shady is never a good idea. Being shady felt good in the moment but ruined her career at the end of the day.
i'd hardly call that beyonce dig "subtle" lol
I Never Stopped Liking Keri, She Got Bops 🔥
lol I don’t hate her, everyone disses she just got the backlash for it. Some people get praised for being shady, others get punished for it. I can understand her getting tired about being asked about the same thing over and over again. Unfortunately the drama over shadowed the music. Glad she’s learned to keep quiet.
You always come through with the best videos I didn’t know I needed.
The Beyoncé song “Bow Down Bitches” makes way more sense now, but I think Keri Hilson is very talented and attractive, she has all the tools, they (the industry) wanted Beyoncé to be the only one on the mountain top, they did the same thing to Ashanti when she had the highest debut album of any female in history at the time in 2002
Missed you Hun, appreciate this one. I didn't know Keri wrote so much and been in the game so long. I hope she eventually bounces back after the drama.
She is BEAUTIFUL
This was well done. I watched it twice. It's everything you need to know for anyone who has ever wondered why her career didn't flourish.
I am happy to see her explore acting. I am sad she isn’t getting the right kind of success anymore. She makes amazing music
Keri played herself she knew damn well she was dissing Beyoncé
I’ll always respect Keri. Her music from the mid 2000s - early 2010s defined my middle school and high school years. Ready for her comeback!
Lmao what comeback
She's one artist who I hope gets another chance. I work in the entertainment industry and can tell you a lot of manipulation happens behind the scenes by the people in power. Back then beefing to get on was a thing. Beyonce was winning for so long that people was tired of her. I even remember an interview in which Timbaland said him and Polo was excited because Keri was someone who could finally give Beyonce some competition. Unfortunately it backfired and she had to take all the licks. People hate that lady till this day. I really hope she gives music another try and comes back with some amazing records.
She definitely played into the drama. She isn’t some innocent victim.
@@marymiller6188 I agree to a point. When you are hungry to get on you will take the advice of the people already in the game. Even if things go awry from their advice, you get the blame. Plus she was young. I hope she gets an opportunity to redeem herself.
Beyoncé had plenty of competition. You hadn’t heard of Alicia Keys? Ashanti? Ciara? Rihanna?
The idea that not writing your own songs makes your talent questionable is a very new idea that seems to have come as a result of the Hip-hop age. Before rappers, no one cared whether an artist wrote their own songs or not.
I don't think a lot of people realized that songwriters were so widely used. Rap just shone a light on it bc it's important for them to write their own raps. Then people started noticing all the writers and collaborators.
But I get it, I don't really care who wrote a song if I love the way it sounds. It's cool to know the talent behind it, but it doesn't stop me from enjoying the music.
Kerri may have been partially at fault for that remix but seriously messy journalists and bloggers milked the hell out of it because why the hell did they basically ask her about it at every event??
That’s why she needed media training because they feed off drama and she fell right into the trap every chance they gave her
All the hits she wrote, this lady will never be broke a day in her life, all these songs she co-wrote are timeless
*🎵"Just Stay Gracious, Best Revenge Is Your Paper"🎶* 🌟👑👸🏼🐝💰
Keri shot herself in the foot. Imagine being the new girl at school talking about the popular girl everyone liked… yeah it’s not gonna end well for u.
I always thought the beef was stupid and she didn't deserve to be blackballed. Hell if she were a rapper it would've been praised.
TheSkorpionShow clip is a throwback classic! I love them!
Let's be clear her albums are CLASSICS. Love her story and her even more. Still waiting for her to come out on top
also yasss for the skorpion show clip! old youtube days lawdddd.
Good ol days @@j.scottofficial
The first album was very Vibe-y, but I LOVE the second one. There's so much variety, and Pretty Girl Rock speaks for itself.
ngl... after watching this, i get why ppl dont vibe with her. like i didn't realize she did all this shady sh*t and had beef w/ other female singers besides beyonce. like... how are you going to sing "to the left to the left" and say that isn't about beyonce 😩& after the beef with beyonce, did she just actively choose to not have any media training??? how she gunna think its okay to respond to charlemagne's ciara comment? everyone and their mama knew that was a trap. the vibe i got after this video was that she never wanted to be just a song writer, and wanted to be the star all along-- which is FINE, but don't get mad at someone singing your song just like you did on the demo! i'd be flattered that they thought it was so good that they didn't change a thing! she just sounds salty that usher wanted her words, but not her on the remix 😅 just be comfortable collecting those checks for song writing royalties!
I loved her lead role in Trey songs “my side of the bed” video. Her character was so believable and she looked absolutely beautiful. What she didn’t know was that she looked better than Ciara, beyonce and Tierra Marie. But she acted like she was better when she was getting into main stream. She didn’t know how to use her talents. She should have gone more philanthropic or modeling lane. She could have done shows like X factor or American idol. She is the only artist that I wish would have lived her full potential
I agree that she was pretty and talented! But she's not more beautiful than Tierra Marie. But her and Normani haven't reached their potential to me.
@@naphisa340beauty is subjective, to me she’s the most beautiful celebrity, but that’s neither here nor there, true on that Normani too and with Keri too, I would have loved for her career to have been bigger
lol she’s not more beautiful than the women you listed at all
Polo convinced Keri to drop a dis thinking that it would move the needle in Keri’s favor… Keri probably did feel a type of way but shouldn’t have listened to polo and dropped the diss. The industry wasn’t going to side against Beyoncé and jay Z. It’s sad because Keri really should have been waaaay bigger than what ended up being…
I'm a Bey fan, but i really liked Keri growing up too. So seeing all these cameos and videos are sending me back to when i literally would watch and listen to anything she was apart of.
When she suddenly dissed Bey and Ci as if there wasn't enough room for all of them, it was disheartening and i stopped supporting. I dont think she realized the overlap of her audience. That there were legit Bey fans that supported her as well. She was refreshing until she dropped the pen and opened her mouth.
It is pretty comical hearing her downplay the leak when it's so obvious 💀. It's a shame she was pressured in the first place, but she was still grown. She didn't deserve all the fallout from it, because it's never that serious (misogyny at play), but even after that she was poking a bear and needed media training. Badly. Hindsight is 20/20 though.
Keri brought me through my 2007-11 high school years. I listened to her faithfully during my track practice.. all her songs and her features ❤
I will always and forever stan Keri Hilson. 🤍✨
I will say that when she released that diss track really ruined her career.
Bow Down by Beyoncé was also received with a negative response, but Yonce didn’t speak about it.
She didn't speak on it because she didn't care about what response it gave! She said she had that song already done for a while, and was going to put it out when she felt the need to let these cunts know who the queen is.
