Keri Hilson - 'Pretty Girl Rock' on The Late Show with David Letterman

R&B singer, Keri Hilson brought an old meets new school vibe to The David Letterman Show last night. A perfect way to ring in a new decade. With elements pulled from the great girl groups of the 60's, Hilson proves she's a force to be reckoned with in the current musique industry flooded with aspiring R&B singers.
Now kiddas, you know very well I'm no stranger to throwing my own private listening parties. When it came time to get an ear-full of Keri's latest effort which was released the week of Christmas...I can say this, their are far more worthy tracks than that of her contemporaries. All of whom released records themselves recently (uh-hmm Ciara, Cee-Lo, Chris Brown, Willow Smith). As always, I've got your appreciative backs covered kiddas.

I love how she stayed in character even after the music stopped. That's a consummate performer

[@edsimonelli6116]

I was today’s years old when I discovered this EXCELLENT performance. Bold, creative and a huge risk. Bravo!

[@AngelHxze]

I just realized, while clicking on this, that I don't think I have ever watched Keri perform live- and I used to LIVE for some of her music when I was really young lol

[@seanspeaks8334]

Keri look so elegant and regal. Hope she comes back to making music soon. 💜

[@HoneyBee1980]

Me Too

[@MiguelAlves1]

THIS is what I call a performance that SELLS RECORDS. Get 'em Keri

[@Rav3r916]

This is the best live version of this song!

[@yonathanangelsalazartamez5479]

how she stays in character after the song, she is so sweet n cute

[@gretaallen8743]

She’s so lovely. Probably didn’t sell out to the powers that be in the music industry. Natural captivating talent. ❤️

[@semajhinton1]

The fact that she was doing Diana gestures and moves makes it even better. This NBA era was so animated for her and the songs were good too.

[@matthewJ142]

It's always nice to see David get excited when he hears good music

[@1963Valley]

He was wowed by her 😍

[@djones5459]

This was too cute!!! Loved this performance!!!👏👑🔥🔥🔥❤️

[@matthewJ142]

Music was Poppin around this time. Bring her back! 😩

[@marshanahrai97]

Am I the only one who thinks the song's slower than this?

[@TerrellAmari]

Duh, she changed it around

[@rosalyn7762]

Sounds more fun this way on a late night show, live.

[@kaylahh4425]

Wow!! She sounds so good and looks good.

[@bombass2000]

This is definitely one of her most creative performances of the song. Who knew it would be on Letterman?

[@TheFear1611]

This is one of the songs she kill in live performances ! Her attuide and vocals makes her amazing !

[@6rooroo]

Great performance and im in love with the dresses that the backup singers next to Jedi are wearing!

[@NostalgiCrazy]

She was great! Beautiful as always too. Now, did the annoying DJ guy really need a mic? And the drums were a bit loud :/

[@salamatukanu2004]

Sebizzar rightttt

[@santafepacifico-scaletrain6207]

THAT DJ IS MADDDDDD ANNOYING

[@NostalgiCrazy]

@@santafepacifico-scaletrain6207 Exactly 😅

[@gretaallen8743]

Ewww right?

[@shamondavis406]

The DJ was cool, but I do agree that the drums were loud and needed to be turned down a bit.. Otherwise, a beautiful performance by Miss Keri😃♥️😃

[@TheEightysmusiclover]

it sounds a lor faster than the original. she still sounds amazing live

[@kidz919]

Uninspiring?You do know that the song is about accepting yourself right?How is that not inspiring?Sounds like we got a hater on the loose

[@elvisfarias685]

Can a stan tell me if this song reached a number 1 on the charts cause it's so good.

[@chadreid7474]

Elvis Farias in the U.S. #24 BB Hot 100 #4 BB R&B/Hip-Hop RIAA Certified platinum

[@rosalyn7762]

The pose at end with her arms up is the pose Dorothy Dandridge would do. 💖

[@jayaherring1763]

Love this song

[@happyfeet1994]

That drummer.. Smh goooodd dang he can play

[@DavidJones1960]

The drummer is FIERCE.

[@billskarsgardfan7150]

*Queen B left the chat*

[@laxex074]

Keri MUST replace that damn IGGY RIGHT NOW!

[@summerrainfall9276]

I wish she would make new songs I like this song

[@summerrainfall9276]

But Iggy did get old real fast in my opinion tho not to hate but I think I could jam out to a few of her old rap songs hopefully Iggy will come out with some new songs that I like

[@Leno323]

@Demonic King it’s KNOW your place.

[@TheEightysmusiclover]

@meganjerai she's staying in character and endorsing her beauty like the song tells you to do. which is you're beautiful no matter what, don't ignore or forget that

[@87rejis]

GLAMOUR !!!

[@hbbss93]

[@Sexxyyycaramel]

She looks more like a doll than Nicki Minaj.

[@brycemclaurin08]

I love Keri lol but the way she was moving lmao

[@angelagm566]

All pretty girls are beautiful

[@princessgrissom7128]

U did amazing... Loved ur outfit. You have an amazing voice!!!!

[@SirEriol]

While I appreciate the enthusiasm the DJ showed and his happiness to perform with Keri, I must say his voice is too raspy for this song. All the girls did a great performance, though! And Keri looks very elegant.

[@Bunny20241]

And that’s why the album says no boys allowed. He was so annoying

[@Jessemchumba]

Loved the mix

[@jldotson5873]

🔥🔥🔥

[@HeavensNight07]

The DJ is me jamming hard to this song

[@robnature]

She is better!!! ❤

[@tatum635]

Those drums are aggressive AF lmao

[@jasmineskyy4964]

I love a good Supremes tribute

[@littotigerlily]

she can pull off any look.

[@mariomoses5186]

Hey I live it so much but listen to a song sung by a girl a child its so amazing

[@bradchristensen9283]

She’s my deal as the black swan in the current season of the “Masked singer”

[@fernandomax6617]

adorando number 2

[@Feedelho]

Simplesmente linda de bonita

[@crossbronx63]

The influence of Diana Ross and the Supremes can not be stated enough

[@raniya_ar]

I love this song because my mum loves it to

[@Garesque]

EXCELLENT !! AMAZING !! I LUV IT !! WOAW !! I LUV U KERI !! *smack

[@carlettagoodrich-mann1377]

Loved you in the seven sins. I just wished. That you had done some music. Loving your performance. NO BOYS ALLOWED sounds like a CHarlies Angel theme song.

[@danielewenkhare3600]

💝💝💝💝💝💝

[@GABYESTRADA1]

[@dontreldontrel416]

That was really ok a bit much but was perfect

[@TeamTasia418]

[@moniqueg4997]

I love Keri but her voice was drowned out and she was hidden the entire time. Like what? She's a star and they shunned her.

[@kyrelblack]

Where is @KeriHilson ? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@jaydiesel88]

I want to marry Keri..lol

[@haleysevenfold9341]

@AmyXruby, LMFAO😂 nice song lmao

[@MrPerry261998]

[@citifielder]

i love the performance but the mike stand is too high

[@ShugaAnnSpyce]

[@summerrainfall9276]

[@yiorgosstathakis918]

[@dianakelly8041]

Someone boycotted her success

[@PeachesYancy]

Is that Truth Hurts on BGV?

[@montaoliver652]

[@beyonceboy100]

@123456andresloatino She was insired by it in her vid too :/

[@ee528]

Beyonce must have been mad angryyyy

[@kaylalezabeth7175]

Well, why would she have been mad?

[@marymary68ify]

I agree

[@TerrellAmari]

elanga w angry for what?

[@princeofdatny]

Why the drums have to be so damn loud

[@vipper22766]

Ok...btq28 that comment was not necessary. she is beautiful and you are a hater.

[@angelagm566]

DJ stop it! Drums stop it!

[@superwacko99]

Incomparable? That's cute

[@ShugaAnnSpyce]

Lol

[@benzz2006]

Bet some of these chicks wish they was pretty and fyne' like that.

[@montaoliver652]

hi Gfugfj

[@whiteipod2000]

This is like a combo of Marilyn Monroe and Diana Ross.

[@tristawalker3655]

i do not like this video cuz it don't sound like the rea one. she look cute and all but she don't sound like her. that sounds good but she sound different

[@ronnietv5116]

I'm just seeing this old text buh every celebrity that sing live is going to sound different from there studio singing just saying cause she simply used auto to correct the notes she didn't quite good enough for the song buh i still love keri so much and i love her music team keri

[@noemistephanie93]

the drum beat is annoying and ruins the song. keri looks very pretty though lol

[@MusiqMan21]

no need for the hype man it ruined the song

[@waiskuxx]

The drummer is ruining the whole performance. The drums are way too loud and the snares/hits are off beat and too quick.

[@diydanna]

She's pretty and has a neat retro style, but the lyrics are shallowly uninspiring.

[@Crushergirl3122]

Not tryin to be rude to and love the song but someones a little concedid(sorry but I dont know how to spell that)

[@ArmandoBellagio]

Talkin' about being vain and conceited...

[@ArmandoBellagio]

***** Yeah, but this is just vain. Really pretty girls don't need to talk like that

[@rodney8245]

Killed it.

[@montaoliver652]

hi Gfugfj
