Keri Hilson Dissed on ‘Today’ Show? During an interview with Ne-Yo on Tuesday (video below), “Today” show host Hoda Kotb unknowingly knocked down Keri Hilson. “You have this really hot new video that you do with Kanye West and another woman named Keri,” said Cobb. “You [and Kanye] are such big stars. How did this happen?” www.rap-up.com/2009/08/11/keri-hilson-dissed-on-today-show/#more-24197The "Today" show host didn't realize that "Knock You Down" was Keri's song. She thought it was Ne-Yo's song with Kanye West & Keri as features.

That's what happens when you don't have solo hits. Too many features on her album. So of course the credit will go to the bigger recording artists like Lil Wayne, Ne-Yo, Kanye West, Timbaland, Keyshia Cole, Akon, etc.

5 out of 14 tracks is NOT too many features. You could be somebody like Fabolous who has a featured artist on every song on the album. Plus the majority of her features are featured on the same song. For a debut album you can pass by with features. Beyonce had 6 tracks that had features out of 14 on her debut, Ciara's first 3 singles were features on her debut, etc. Let's not act as if its uncommon.

Attitude (Timothy Clayton <Keri Alienated, Nelly Furtado Afraid and Promiscuos Girl>, Keri and Jim Beanz are currently the majority writing contributors on the Shock Value 2. She's been in and out of the studio with Tim, Danja and Polow the Don the past couple of weeks.

It show's her in the studio and she says she has to get in the mindset of an exotic dancer for timbaland. Is that for Shock Value 2? Cuz that would be hot lol

It seems like "Change Me" is the new pop single.
It was listed under "Cool New Music" on All Access and a radio edit has leaked.

Keri sounded good but her background singer was off, she was sounding like she didn't know the melody of the song.

Post by biltong on Sept 25, 2009 19:55:30 GMT -5
Haha... True dat.
I think she would have been better off having a couple people on backgrounds, even though it's stripped back. Need a strong, full foundation there, so that you can be free to play & feel your lead vox without worrying about singing the background parts w/ the one singer (haha...).
Oh well. Keri sounded great & to be honest overall it was good, so no biggie.
