Keri Hilson - "Pretty Girl Rock" LIVE + Q&A

www.billboard.com/features/ker...
Keri Hilson performs "Pretty Girl Rock" in this session of Billboard's Tastemakers series LIVE at Aloft Harlem.

[@alessiacara]

people call her conceited and stuff but if you really think about it, guys have songs like this all the time. saying how they're so good looking and get all the girls. but as soon as a girl sings about it, shes cocky . i give her props for loving herself the way she is because thats an issue that a lot of girls have . i think thats the true meaning of this song. to love yourself and your looks the way they are. even near the end the lyrics are "youre beautiful" . thats just what i think

[@OnlyRealMusic11]

This is a gem of a comment. You're totally right! Love you!

[@mooncover7359]

Now you're a star too :) No scars to your beautiful

[@benjaminpinzon8380]

Hey Alessia!

[@wwxlzh3882]

YESSS I love this take on it. Plus she wasn't even being cocky about it. I felt like this was more of a self love song and encouraged others to love themselves. This how I saw it. Love this for you Alessia, your songs have a similar vibe about self love. You're amazing, pretty girl rock!

[@AngelHxze]

@@wwxlzh3882 Exactly. I think the thing is people are insecure and can't imagine themselves being the one singing- maybe it isn't relatable to them. But she's saying that no matter who is hating, she's still confident and thinks that she's beautiful. Shame some people couldn't see that.

[@NooraaQ]

I believe she has the most beautiful smile I've ever seen.

[@jaslindenee]

So, is no one going to acknowledge how amazing the bass player is? Dude was killing it!

[@sharnikelly7506]

her voice is so rare 😍😍

[@TrstnWilson]

+Shaarnii Baarnii Who is she?

[@sharnikelly7506]

TrstnWilson​ Keri Hilson..?

[@TrstnWilson]

[@colley8014]

Unrecognisable, not memorable and Normani kinda voice.

[@Rav3r916]

I actually like the quality of her voice.. she doesn't over sing.. it's very calm and easy to sing-along to

[@allewen]

she's one of the Most Under-rated artists..i love her voice so much!

[@klp2013kp]

she not trying to be better then Beyoncé...they R BOTH GREAT! STOP WIT THE HATE!!

[@Shell0517nj]

klp2013kp whole thing is ridiiculous.

[@liyahaimorah1205]

[@garrybaldeagle]

Nothing but live instruments and vocals. I love this. Keri is beautiful.

[@YourAverageJim]

I remember when this song came out. fell in love with her right away

[@bumbleb6558]

I love both Beyonce and Keri Hilson but I must say Keri doesn't want to be or sound like Beyonce she helped Beyonce be who she is today.She wrote a few of Beyonce music for all that didn't know. sisters helping sisters out and I must say it's beautiful

[@stealurcookies]

Wait, she (co-)wrote for some big artists including Britney Spears... But which Beyoncé song did she write?

[@yvvngmlaba]

what songs did she write?

[@malkia1234]

i love the way she gets into her music when shes singing

[@ladylove6335]

Her voice is so unique.

[@erickamaeomrale2239]

Ikr😁👍

[@TrstnWilson]

+Lady Love Who is she?

[@ladylove6335]

+TrstnWilson her voice isn't huge and powerful but different and likeable

[@zekedimblebee]

@@TrstnWilson not like her name is in the goddamn title

[@jadeen6462]

Girl can SING!!

[@chihxaruu1064]

Jaii 'el ä

[@hamedmirza3167]

The problem nowadays with comments on female R&B artists videos is that everyone tries to say that Beyonce is better. Like stfu people, this ain't Beyonce's video. Take your shit to her videos, Beyonce isn't even that great. Just come here and enjoy Keri Hilson Beyonce is not here at all.

[@LADYBEYWEST]

You're right she's phenomenal 😎

[@JasonQiuMusic]

Keri has a great voice that has subtle nuances that don't really come out with all the instruments burying her. Her acoustic version of "All the Boys" on The Splash really did her voice justice.

[@LSGLRG]

I love her SWAG. She's so confident & actually beautiful.

[@reinashiota]

Keri can carry this song 'cause she really is beautiful. Great live performance!

[@m.jwahirbrathwaite3636]

Keri is 100 PERCENT POSITIVE!!! Thank You for the Pretty Girl Rock Anthem

[@TheDKbabii]

I love how Keri lets her backup singers have more parts in the song, and specially in the chorus. :)

[@Kayla-bq4vj]

Yep, and at times.....outfits too 👍

[@rosalesenrique]

love that she mixed two incredibly perfect songs

[@BlackGypsyMusic]

Jada ,she is dope. In fact her and the band are dope. And she doesn't have to try to be Beyonce. She is Keri Hilson.

[@RayRihanna22]

keri Hilson is such a brilliant singer and an exceptional songwriter!

[@ronzkielee4934]

I miss this girl so much.. :)

[@joyjoyb1]

I love the energy and confidence she has performing, interviewing and through out her music. She my favorite artist since Aaliyah. She don't over do it and it's all real.

[@LimpBG]

I love her. She sings so good, and looks even better.

[@Tantan-ge9bu]

違うから、過激な格好わしないんで、そこわ女子グループを選びぬかれた子が変わる何でもかんでもわ🤘💜でない事を言いたかったからだ

[@SOPHIECHICKENUGGETS]

Keris Hilson and that one young lady they call "Beyonce" is too damn fine for me to look at for very long.... gawd damn

[@xXLoveMyDreamXx]

[@DaVonnaJ]

I never understand the haters. If you dislike her, why watch the video? This just help prove that you have some little obsession with her. She is talented, unlike majority of the performers out today.

[@dieleuchtkeksin]

Excellent performance! Excellent voice!

[@alexiscmouzan2642]

She is really humble in person and actually a nice looking person no story telling

[@TheAnimeGuy1111]

When she started singing James Blunt's "You're Beautiful", I was like "DAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMNNNNN YOU GO GIRL!" Usually I don't listen to this kind of music but the live band was sick.

[@kikkaitaliandoll]

You're beautiful you're beautiful.. you're beautiful is truee! awwwwwww

[@teremoreleful]

[@tooakki]
