Quote of the Day: Keri Hilson (Throwback)

Published: Friday 3rd Dec 2010 by Sam

Speaking in a 2009 interview with Complex magazine, Keri Hilson said:

I don’t want to be oversexed! I don’t want to sell sex, I want to sell music. I want to inspire others, I don’t want to be one of those people who’s always throwing their body at the masses. What good does that do? Besides sell records. Men don’t buy records, anyway.

Hmm…

Your thoughts?

    yall are beating a dead horse…i followed Keri this album and selling s*** was not what she was trying to do.

    she is going through emotions that women feel….hence breaking point and pretty girl rock…like it or not..i saw the way u love me coming way before the video debuted..bc i followed her.

    get the f*** over it already…internet thugs.

  16. antertain December 3, 2010

    If I had a pound for all the artist that say that and then eventually do the opposite at some point, I’d be well up on my monthly wages.

    Once I saw that knock you down video, that statement went out the window. The clothes or lack off really showed in parts.

    OMG SAM goes in though LOL (But it’s her words NOT his)
    LOVE TGJ

  17. sillyjeans December 3, 2010

  20. Trey S December 3, 2010

  25. luvmedj December 3, 2010

    Bahhahahahaaaa!! Now this is sooo funny! Kudos GrapeJuice for diggin this one up. Goes to show when in desprite need of attention and album sales and relevance, you’ll do anything possible to get that attention. You loss made points with this one Keri. #FAIL

  26. Candy December 3, 2010

    OMG, she decided to do something different and now everyone is freaking out! Every woman and man has a “freaky” side so there is nothing wrong w/the video or song. People always act like they are so “high and mighty”! So what if she went against what she previously said, who doesn’t at some point in life, career and relationships. She knows how 2 get attn and Miss Keri def has it, lol. So stay MAD haters.

  27. BOSS December 3, 2010

    Aaaah…. the envious one’s words bitin’ her on that exposed labia

    😀

  28. MISHKA December 3, 2010

    Oopsie doopsie

    Didn’t she co-write “GIMME MORE” for Britney ?

    Britney, Christina , Rihanna and a bunch of others get a pass because they started as teenagers, they didn’t know so much about life but Keri put her debut album out at 25 years old and she was already known behind the scenes.

  29. jhoopz December 3, 2010

    haha theivy i feel u on dat one if anything everybody n da music industry r hypocrites yall makin a big deal ova this girl cus shez da shii lol no toilet paper!!!! i admitt the video was a lil much but the song aint nuthin beyonce…ciara…or rihanna wouldnt do!

    so wats uop

  33. Soul Touch December 3, 2010

    Sell out. Once the records weren’t selling the clothes came off. lol

    The worst thing about it, the song sucks.

  34. MissImpartial December 3, 2010

    I think it is unfair for you to quote Keri as Beyonce was singing Nasty Girl before before she sexed up her image. Christina was saying the same before she went dirty.
    So Keri is doing the same as these artist.

  35. Soul Touch December 3, 2010

    @Missimpartial

    I think the point of the post is to compare what she is quoted as saying in ’09 and doing in’10. One year later, I guess her moral stance has changed.

    My issue is not that she went s***, but that it seemed so forced and uncomfortable.

  36. GangsterA December 3, 2010

    this chick is so lame god shes even more overated than lady gaga and the dumb one saying bey did the same with nasty girl #sitchoass down when did bey walked half naked or looked nasty on the street did you even listen to the song beyonce is talking about lookin trashy in the street beyonce is a peformer she never said she is not s*** or act s*** or have s*** songs videos etc. this flop on the other hand said shes not going to sell s** and she did she already start doing it before the interview she sell s** since her first single came out i don’t even know what the f*** is she talking about go write flop songs and spare us skeri

  37. ChEeRfUl CyNiC XD December 3, 2010

    FRAUD!!! LOL I HATED THAT MUSHROOM HAIR

  38. SOCLEVERIGHT December 3, 2010

    She has to try hard to be s***, and it has tipped over to a slutty look. I’m not hating but she should reassess how she wants her image to be or just be herself that would be easier. Regroup chick!

  39. tia December 3, 2010

    Lmao at this quote…..things change over large periods of time…NOT MONTHS she totally contradicted herself…..like many do. But i think her comments this week are just trying to take a stand against “whoever” and prove a point….we already know the point keri….s** sells, somebody told you this was hot and you believed it…..thats fine…you want to be talked about, you want more album sells…we get it….THE PROBLEM IS that the song is terrible, your dancing is terrible and your c****** poppin looked forced and uncomfortable….i’d be with her if it looked good or sounded good but it doesnt. People are getting it mixed up, they think were trying to bash her for being s*** and trying something different NO…we are bashing you because your vocals sucked, your outfits suck (all the time) and that video was subpar…..I can handle almost anything as long as the music is good …..Like Erykah Badu’s “Window Seat” that video was clearly not for kids….but the song was great so I’m not trippin….Stop trying to say what everybody else is doing because at the end of the day, those people have been doing this for years and are GOOD at it….Keri decided to wanted to be f***** a week ago and she ended up f****** herself and her career.

  40. vegasgirl December 3, 2010

    Wow, didn’t know Keri had so many fans. Now people are defending her rather than dismissing her? Interesting.

    Anyway what happened was ( my opinion) Keri listened to Laurie Ann Gibson who told her she needed to really step out and get noticed. Ms. Gibson is Gaga’s choreographer, enough said, right? If I was a struggling artist and a member of a superstars team told me to do something , maybe just maybe I would do it.

    The video didn’t seem like another side of Keri, it seems like a ploy for attention. And the song is complete s***!

  41. vegasgirl December 3, 2010

    that quote is nowhere in line with what she just produced for her new single. Crazy thing is her label gave her a budget ( I think) and approved her shooting the video and releasing the song. They want her to garner attention as bad as she wants it.

    Good luck anyway Keri

  42. Crystal Annick December 3, 2010

    Well she’s obviously crying out for sales now because her latest video is just…

  43. Robier December 3, 2010

    SHE LEARNED THAT THE SAME HYPOCRITES SITTING ONLINE CRITICIZING WASN’T GONNA BUY HER MUSIC REGARDLESS SO SHE WENT THE WAY OF THE INDUSTRY…. S** SELLS AND GET OVER UR BLATANT HYPOCRISY.

  44. RonaldMatters.com December 3, 2010

    LMAO @ THE ERYKAH BADU LINK!!! THAT GAVE ME SO MUCH LIFE!!!

    But yes, Keri Hilson been fake since the day she bought her first eyeliner pencil. I’m NOWHERE near surprised that she’s not keeping her word.

  45. mindgames December 3, 2010

  46. Kendra December 3, 2010

    How things have changed

  47. beyonce2011 December 3, 2010

    let the haters hate christina aguilera, britney spears rihanna all have said this. its not like she is putting out a bunch of s** singles. the way you love me is a PROMO video not a single. ppl just find anything to talk about. I bet these same nasty folks are f****** to treysongz neighbors know my name. LOL most of the ppl who hate on keri are ugly and fat girls who use EBT cards and or gay dudes who take it up the ass. LOL

    BEYONCE AND KERI HILSON FOR THE WIN. YAAAAAS KERI KEEP THEM HATERS MAD

  48. livy b liv December 3, 2010

    Funny how ppl talkin bout she gonna flop when PrettyGirlRock debuted on the Hot 100 at #72 yesterday and is #60 on itunes. and is getting like 30 spins everyday on urban radio play meaning her total spins per week are well over 1000. Get it misskeribaby i love you. Now do the pretty girl rock

  49. TAMI December 3, 2010

    Keri Kilson is such a FLOP!Lmaao

  50. Mona December 3, 2010

    Who ever made the Beyonce comment sit down? You must of forgot how Destiny’s Child used to dress. hints..Bills Bills Bills.. and I don’t recall none of those artist making such comments like this one. She stated more than once that her talent speaks for itself. Then turn back around and make that mess. That didn’t even needed to be visualized in such manner.

  51. Yan December 3, 2010

    But she isn’t

  52. T.I. STAN December 3, 2010

    OH THE IRONY!!! Lol

  53. VA STAND UP!! December 4, 2010

    SEE! This is exactly my problem with the video! She sold out! I remember reading this exact interview. She ‘claimed’ that she would bring something new to the table and not sell s**! Now look!

    Like she said herself, men don’t buy albums. The only people who co-signed this mess were men (boys) and her die hard stans who won’t be honest with themselves and admit it sucked. She didn’t look s*** in the video, she looked slutty and classess. Women are turned off by this mess and they were the only ones checking for her album. She played her self and she knows she sold out. She’s trying to be something she is not and it’s so obvious.

    SMH!. Keri is a talented songwriter a decent singer and she is pretty. She didn’t have to go this route, she could have let her talent speak for herself but she fell into the trap that so many other femlel singers fall into….when all else fails sell s**! But it doesn’t work for everyone! Sometimes it backfires especially if that was not the image that you always portrayed .She is getting a lot of buzz from the video, but it is NOT positive buzz. I think she turned a lot of people off!

    I really do believe that this album is gonna flop bad. It sucks cause I was looking forward to it because I liked her last album a lot, but I haven’t heard anything that makes me want to purchase it. Maybe download a few tracks from itunes, but not actually buy the whole album. Good luck Keri, cause I think you are gonna need it. SMH.

  54. True Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Blue December 4, 2010

    Hmm, I do not recall Britney, Beyoncé and Christina saying that they wouldn’t do like their counterparts and sell s** to sell records. If they did, then I would like to see a direct link to such quotes. Until then, don’t compare them to Keri. Keri is a hypocrite.

    And a couple days ago, a commenter posted that very same Complex interview, so I find it funny that just now Sam is pulling out that interview.

  55. Drew-Shane December 4, 2010

    LMAO! I can’t believe you guys found this quote

  56. lola December 4, 2010

    Where the hell are all of these Keri I mean Scary Hilson fans coming from? How dare y’all support and stick up for this BIG BIRD looking b****? Keri HAS ALWAYS, ALWAYS BEEN A HYPCROTICIE AND CONTRADICTED HERSELF! That’s why so many people do not like her. She’s extremely arrogant and has such a wack ass personality. She aint doing s*** for black women. I’ve never heard her say how proud she is to be a black woman or what good she’s doing as a black woman and I think it’s because she think she’s better because she’s light skinned (I’m light skinned myself). The only ones who support this perverted and nasty song and music video are silly hos and/or low class b******. Keri is f****** 28, she’s old as hell and she’s “growing as an artist?” How much more can she grow? She’s supposed to be a mature artist making mature music like Alicia Keys, Jill Scott, Chrisette Michelle, Fantasia, and Monica. She says her music is for the females and the majority of the females feel her music is wack and bubblegumish like “Pretty Girl Rock” or nasty and inappropriate like “The Way You F*** Me.” So what if everybody has a freaky side… have you every heard lady in the streets but freak in the sheets? That’s like a golden rule lol! Keep it classy, clean, and to yourself. That’s the problem with these singers, they always wanna put out too much of their business.

  57. B**** Killa December 8, 2010

    Get over yourselves, Ya’ll just some hatin ass B’s. You not the one whose famous or makin the money and what Keri says or does has no direct impact on you or your life so why try and judge her and hers? That’s TRUE HATIN for you, knowing damn well if any of you had a chance to make it big,you’d probably tryin to colab or get in with whoever you can including Keri,just so you can get some recognition. QUIT HATIN!!!!!!!
