Keri Hilson's 'Knock You Down' video: Will it make her a star?

Kerihilson_lKeri Hilson is caught in an unlikely love triangle between Kanye West and Ne-Yo in her new video for "Knock You Down," the fourth single from her seductive debut CD, In a Perfect World, which drops today. Though their scenes together are G-rated in comparison to Ciara’s steamy romp with Justin Timberlake in their new clip for "Love Sex Magic," Hilson’s solo shots in bed are undeniably hot. Indeed, a tasteful flash of booty never hurt nobody. But will it help listeners connect with her CD? It’s hard to say. Her first single, last year’s "Energy," peaked at a disappointing No. 78 on the all-important Billboard Hot 100 chart, but a guest appearance by Lil Wayne pushed "Turnin Me On" to No. 15. Still, none of her singles–including "Return the Favor"–have matched the success of her breakout cameo on Timbaland’s 2008 hit "The Way I Are," which soared to No. 3. What gives? Hilson’s got the beauty, the body, the voice, and the slick radio-friendly cuts that it takes to compete with today’s top R&B divas. She even has a sultry song her CD called "Slow Dance" that was co-written by Timberlake. So what’s it going to take to make her CD a hit? If the answer is as simple as a sexy video with J.T., would they please hurry up and make that happen ASAP?

    She already has Kanye. Lil Wayne.Timbaland. Polow. Neyo. Trina. Keyshia Cole. That’s hip hop and r&b elite.
    Enough already.

    Maybe to get a hit, she should get with Chris Brown.

    sometimes you can think so far out of the box that people can’t get with it. artists want to be different (aka solange-YUK!)but sometimes you have to stick with what is working at that moment. loved turnin me on, hated energy…the video for it sucked. movements were too stiff and looked to rehearsed! and the hair…NOT! and i think that the remix that got out didn’t help her career whether she was talking about beyonce (i wish she was!) or not.

  • Keri Hilson Suck

    Mis-carried Baby is tired!!!!! And that album is simply “okay”…not good, not bad. You’d expect more from someone who blatantly comes out dissing other folks.
