Ladies, are you ready to do the “Pretty Girl Rock”? Keri Hilson takes a trip through the ages in the decade-spanning video for the newest single from her sophomore album No Boys Allowed (Dec. 21). Directed by Joseph Kahn, the clip puts Miss Keri in a handful of looks including a flapper girl in a silent movie and a Motown front woman, targeting specific singers by mimicking Janet Jackson circa “Rhythm Nation” era and T-Boz from TLC’s “Creep” video. Take a stroll down memory lane with the blonde bombshell.
LOL- Okay Keri?…… I’ll take it.
Not what I expected.. -to say the least..
She looks absolutely stunning.
I Don’t think the video has anything with being Pretty.
& I Still don’t know what the pretty girl rock is..
BUT i love her take on the Old Videos!
I Ain’t mad..
She did a great job. That TLC set up was flawless. The Janet set up should have hit harder with the choreography but, she still did a good job. I know people will hate on it because it’s Keri, but I personally liked it.
in b4 the “OMG SHE’S COPYING..” dumbasses. it’s called PAYING TRIBUTE TO AMAZING, BEAUTIFUL AND SUCCESSFUL WOMEN…and women in general. remember haters..GET YOURSELF TOGETHER DON’T HATE, JEALOUSY IS THE UGLIEST TRAIT!! :)
hahaaaaaaa love the beyonce, janet, and tlc! this is so damn cute! favorite keri video ever! knock you down will still have a place in my heart tho! lol
I hate keri but I must say I loved the video. At first I was thinkin why da hell did she go this route becu zim tired of these 60′s style videos but when i see she was travellin in time i love it.
Oh please stop hatin, its a cute video, i thought it would be the typical video of her pretty, but its not, and you would be lying to yourself if you dont think Ms.Keri Babiiiii aint beautiful….i so love her in blonde!!!
Many of you are young and dumb, like most Beyonce fans. There was no salute to Beyonce.
She went through eras from the 20′s to the 90′s channeling the likes of: Josephine Baker, 50′s movies star (Lena Horne or Dorothy Dandridge or Elizabeth Taylor), The Andrews Sisters, Diana Ross & The Supremes, Donna Summer and Janet Jackson.
That was not a Beyonce tribute in the video. That was Dianna Ross as a solo artist. Hence the big black hair. She also did the Supremes as a group. She did the damn thing for the TLC and Janet one!
i do the pretty girl rock rock rock
i love the diana ross, supremes, janet, tlc .. great performers, really beautiful black women, that had strenght and touched the world with their music
i love this tribute keri, you rocked the video FOR SURE!
The big hair lady was the disco queen Donna Summer, not Diana.
And all of the tributes were not black women–hence The Andrews sister, and that 50′s actress could have been Elizabeth Taylor instead of Lena or Dorothy.
This is my fav keri Hilson video besides Knock You Down i have nothing bad to say about it. she payed Homage to all the artists from back in the day and i applaud her for doing that.
This is amazing! Even though she is my favourite artist, I didn’t really like the song until now!
@V
Go back to the cesspool you were born from! The concept is pretty clear. It shows that girls through all ages are pretty and beuty can take many form, so no matter what your age, race, ect. all women should feel good about themselves for being pretty in their own way. Above that, it is also a tribute for the girls before her that made an impact on music history, but I’m too young to know who the ones before Diana are. Fall back hater!
i didnt really like the song but i liked the video. it went well with the song. And that wasnt Beyonce she was dressed as. think about it, its a timeline, why would she put beyonce before Janet in rhythm nation? slow
Cute tribute! I like it, except the end. She would have simply done herself for the 00′s part. Something more “keri Hilson”, not just a white t-shirt and black background.
I can’t even lie, I thought she was mimicking Beyonce AT FIRST GLANCE. But then it’s obvious that’s she not. And she’s definitely channeling Dorothy Dandridge on that second scene.
well its not epic but it was creative i love this song but the vid had nothing to do with the song the song is a self motivating song talking about how pretty she is why is she complementing and paying homage to others? she shudve had all the attention on her! n she cudve came way harder on the janet part no shade but Ciara or Beyonce wouldve slayed that part! good job thoe keri~!
If you hate her why do you spend so much time watching her? If you saw her on 106 & Park today she said it was Donna Summer!! Beyonce hasn’t been in the business long enough to be honored by anyone. If you saw “Black Girls Rock” aired Sunday night and on now. We need to stop tearing each other down and start lifting each other up. If you don’t like someone stop following them. Your spending to much time hating when you could be loving someone that you really like. Keri doesn’t need your negative attention!!! She have plenty of fan who does love her!!
@Mona duh! It is always about Beyonce. You live in a Bey world sweetheart. Calm down lmao. And about this video. I want to hate but I can’t. She did an amazing job. The most compliment she will get from me.
i love it. she definitely tributed many powerful women in this. im really loving her mission to empower women on this album. she has had two really cute videos in a row. good for her & her team.
I like it when she play Beyonce with the blue dress ? .. is she playing Beyonce ?! .. the song is good but from i like Breaking Point and Still A Girl more.. :)
I like it when she play Beyonce with the blue dress ? .. is she playing Beyonce ?! .. the song is good but from i like Breaking Point and Still A Girl more.. :)
Really love this video & song a lot! Easily Keri’s best video & I like how channels all the different eras especially Janet & TLC! The ending shows how truly beautiful Keri is too!
LORD knows I’m not a fan of Keri’s like that, but you have to give credit where credit is due, and she did a really good job. This is probably my favorite video from her.
@tiffany…yea i know what you mean…and its called MANIC HATING…YOU REALLY CAN’T GET YOU KNOW WHO OUT YOUR MIND CAN YOU… ALL YO DO IS HATE ON A GIRL WHO LOOKS BETTER THAN YOU IS MORE SUCCESSFUL THAN YOU AND HAS MORE TALENT IN HER FINGERNAIL THAN YOU HAVE IN YOUR WHOLE ANCESTRY…SMH
Not a fan at all. why you gotta be a copy cat. wig not cute at all. are you bald. i think so. your never original, looking like a fake ass t-boz. why were you signed. why you open your mouth. whoever inyour family told you that you could sing lied to you honey. Burger King is Hiring. Mc Donald`s and Taco Bell is too. Put in your application. you could do fries or tacos. or maybe clean the bathrooms. i think that will be the perfect job for you, keri lynn hilson, name sounds so country. again not a fan at all and never will be cause you CANT SING. your voice makes my ears bleed raw! Eww, i know but its the truth.
Get off Beyawnces clit it obviously wasnt her she was trying to emulate it was Donna Summer why would she put B in the 70′s era when Janet was right after that in the 80s then TLC in the 90′s? She was going through the decades think about it before u comment. This is hands down the best female artist video of 2010 idc what anyone says. Keri took it there and im sold on this whole “No Boys Allowed” album after seeing this video. I will be purchasing the CD December 21st. Nuff Said!
Keri Hilson is #winning if this song dont shoot up the charts now something is honestly wrong. Keri is a true artist its incredible and now the haters can choke on that. This video gave me LIFE!!!!
This is such a good video for such a bad song. I seriously love Keri and she looked so good in the video. I loved how she payed homage to all that came before her. I still just can’t get into this song though. I still find it super cheesy and it just doesn’t fit Keri IMO. I think this song is meant for someone younger like Miley Cyrus or Tiffany Evans…even Willow Smith! But regardless, I am loving the concept. I will be buying ‘No Boys Allowed’!
@ uknowdakid ii swear ii fuxxinq love you.. This video is basically BEYONCE ALL AROUND!!!… even the voice.. as much as ii hate this Lady ii have to say Keri did her thanq.. but she still floppinq tho… when was the last time an RnB sinqer had a hit unaccompanied?? Besides Bey & Riri (b4 they went pop)… HaHa when in doubt of your career pretend to be reincarnations..
‘Don’t hate me cuz I’m beautiful’. This is a song that can really boost confidence. Feel like u own da place when u walk in ladies… #NoBoysAllowed 12/21/2010
[...] puts Miss Keri in a handful of looks including a flapper girl in a silent movie and a Motown front woman, targeting specific singers by mimicking Janet Jackson circa “Rhythm Nation” era and T-Boz from [...]
For those wondering, these are those who KH is paying tribute to:
Josephine Baker
Lena Horne or Dorothy Dandridge
Andrews Sisters (but they werent AfrAm. Remember Xtina Aguilera homaged them in her 2007 Candyman video)
Supremes
Donna Summer
Janet Jackson
TLC
quite frankly the song is annoying and it has no range and she proably have to lipsync like at black girl rock. However , pretentious this is I think she is trying to be like beyonce. No not because of (well not only because) the scene of her reenacting donna summer in which she actually look beyonce (moving like a paraody of beyonce) but she utlizing (notice not stealing) the same method beyonce. Not that its not okay for one to pay homage or to adopt older style like Rih _ adobting r n b signers 80 style for last album was cool. However has done thosa same remeditions both in video and concerts using that style and same artist hair make up etc. ALso the song lack range , lyrical ingenuitity (that keri normally displays); but moreover the melody and chorous sounds a mix of 8783 or what that bey album was . ( Also breaking points – sound very much destiny childfree in the same context hook /chorus and melody).
Get EM Girl … she actually paying homage but she taking shots at rhi bey and ciara . my girls is saying all u chicks act like u r doing something big , but what u did has akready been done and ur images are borrowed. she can choose any classic donna summer , tlc and janet looks but to make a point keri choose the infamous copied looks beyonce -donna summers , ciara – janet , tlc- rihanna . duh that y she did the video to this song because dont hate me cuz i can sing dance act and mostly iimportant beautiful look> That is not copied. She talked about in the interview >
Seriously, you people kill me. Everyone must be in middle/high school that send in comments here and have no knowledge of music what-so-ever. Or must be just completely blind and so brain-washed with today’s POP Crap to not see anything other than lackluster artist. Keri Hilson could have just stood there and sang the song for a video and you all would have still compared her to Beyonce, Ciara, or Rihanna. After reading everyones comments, I went and watched the video. AT NO POINT IN THE VIDEO IS SHE TAKING BEYONCE’S STYLE OR CIARA’S OR RIHANNA’S STYLE. Keri was channeling Donna Summer/Diana Ross for the Disco portion of the video… funny Beyonce DID THE SAME THING FOR DREAM GIRLS, YET none of y’all seem to think she copied anyone. This crap is getting so ridiculous that the original Artist, before the “new age of crap” rolled in, are getting compared to other artist who are just biting their style. Why should anyone like the likes of Diana Ross, Donna Summer, Tina Turner, etc… bow down and apologize to these new cookie cutter artist for so called stealing their style?? Doesn’t make sense to me at all!
I always like her music but I’m not a “fan”… I looove the video tho! Liked the traveling in time thing! Am I the only person who knew that the very first lady resembled Josephine Baker? I thought that’s what she was going for in the beginning. I also thought she slipped beyonce in there with the blue mini dress and wild hair. I could be wrong.
OMG everybody who’s saying she’s trine copy people thts not what she’s doing dummies she giving them props as beautiful woman an she went thru the video giving tribute to all the woman tht has made a influence in her life basically say dnt hate us all becuz we r beautiful she’s not tryna b anyone she acknowledging talent in the industry some people r quick to judge before they pay attention so watch the video again before u pass judgement
Just be honest and tell the truth, Keri Hilson did her thang. I don’t hate Beyonce, but I definantly lean towards Keri. I see Beyonce in more commercials than music videos. The music world is big ENOUGH for both women. She did an amazing job on the video and the song. From just hearing this song and Breaking Point, No Boys Allowed is going to be awesome. Anytime there maybe a threat to anyone “we” love so much(Bey), “we began to hate the threat(Keri)… I will continue to be behind my girl Miss Keri Hilson..
ok first of all… i love this video, im young and i knew everything she was paying homage to. The song is catchy, has a good beat, and is about how women of the past displayed their confidence in being beautiful, and how now its our turn.
Maybe I live in a cave.. i had no idea people hated Keri Hilson! She’s not awful or terrible at all. Shes gorgeous, has a great voice and writes very catchy songs. Comparing her to Beyonce is just not right, they are two totally different artists who both happen to sing r&b, so something is bound to sound similar here and there. Keep in mind Keri was in the music business long before she went solo, and she’s written for a lot of people. Whether you like it or not, she has the credentials. I bet there is a song you love sung by an artist that she helped compose and you don’t even know it. I love beyonce, and i love keri, but my love for each of them is different. WHY DOES THE WORLD FEEL THE NEED TO COMPARE ALL THE TIME.
Why pole tripping when they say it’s Beyonce?? It’s an honest mistake!!! When I first saw the video immediate I saw Beyonce! Totally the dress the make up the hair is totally her!! But when I read some if the comments I’d get where they got Donna Summer from. Before her is Diana and the supremes. She doesn’t do her twice. Overall I love this tribute but it’s not something I will expect from Keri but at the same time I’m not a huge fan of hers but great song and vid!!!
I really like the video! I am not crazy about the song though. I’m glad she is paying homage to many women forgotten in our time such as Josephine Baker, Dorothy Dandridge, Lena Horne, Andrews sisters, Diana Ross, and Donna Summer. I grew up watching their movies and listening to their music. Music did not begin with Beyonce! I think more people should check out past artists such as Billie Holiday, Nina Simone, Ella Fitzgerald, Mahalia Jackson and others. You will be surprised what you discover:)
Smh youu ppl how is she gonnah do a tribute to rihanna and ciara when their in the same eraaa duhhh!and how is she copying she’s paying a tribute get it PRETTY GIRLS ROCK!smh
I like the concept but I’m still waiting for another Keri Hilson song that really comes hard in lyrical creativity, outstanding production, or (call me a hater if you want) if she gets some killer vocal lessons and really belts it out. I’ve been waiting with baited breath since ‘The Way I Are’ and ‘Turnin’ Me On’ for her to bring it. Sadly the fact that Keri Hilson is ‘so beautiful’ is more important than making good music. The video was very entertaining, whether or not she’s impersonating Donna Summers or Beyonce as Donna Summers can be argued indefinitely and the dance is cute and I’m sure will be making it’s debut in nightclubs across the country very soon.
There’s the beautiful girl with the clever video and catchy dance, Pretty Girl Rock has everything but an enjoyable melody or lyrics. Ehhh, but she looks good though, right? :/
I won’t lie. The 1st time I saw the video, I momentarily thought beyonce in the blue dress. But only for a second because the disco ball and the black hair were obviously dead give-aways. Besides that, it did not make sense that Keri would be paying homage to someone in her own era.
Love the song and the video even more.. she pays homage to the greats both in dance and in music. Josephine Baker, Dorothy Dandridge, Lena Horne, Diana Ross, Donna Summers, Janet, and TLC.. she’s apart of the new age of music so there’s no need to emulate a Beyonce, Ciara, or Rhianna here because they all come from the same era. People kill me trying to start up unnecessary drama between stars. They all are stars in there own right. Keri writes for all of them so I doubt there is any hard feelings from Bey, CiCi, or Rhi-Rhi. Nonetheless, good job Keri!
I think this video was amazing. This song isn’t conceited its about being comfortable with yourself and about self-confidence. She is a strong powerful woman and she is beautiful. And in the video she dresses like past beautiful women who were the best of their time. I love this video and song! I think its really amazing.
I luv Keri and the video was amazing. She really did a good job as T-Boz. Ppl she is not playing Beyonce at all its Donna Summers. Learn ur music history and stop hating. She is very talented she can make a hit if she sings it or write it.
I work all the time and didnt know the vid was this old, but i saw it for the first time the other day, and being a straight male, i can understand the message of the song, but you still have females hatin because somebody is not on some nicki/kim type shit. The concept of the vid was pure genius and my heart almost stopped beating when i saw the TLC tribute. Im trying to figure out what is there not to like about Keri…this song is classic
I LOVE KERI HILSON SO YALL HOES NEED TO BK UP OFF HER!!!! ALL YALL LAME ASX HOES NEED TO STAY OF HER WEB SITE@!!! AND DO WT DA FUK YALL DO NT ROUND HER CHIT CHATEN BOUT HER!!

Not a fan at all. why you gotta be a copy cat. wig not cute at all. are you bald. i think so. your never original, looking like a fake ass t-boz. why were you signed. why you open your mouth. whoever inyour family told you that you could sing lied to you honey. Burger King is Hiring. Mc Donald`s and Taco Bell is too. Put in your application. you could do fries or tacos. or maybe clean the bathrooms. i think that will be the perfect job for you, keri lynn hilson, name sounds so country. again not a fan at all and never will be cause you CANT SING. your voice makes my ears bleed raw! Eww, i know but its the truth.

Get off Beyawnces clit it obviously wasnt her she was trying to emulate it was Donna Summer why would she put B in the 70′s era when Janet was right after that in the 80s then TLC in the 90′s? She was going through the decades think about it before u comment. This is hands down the best female artist video of 2010 idc what anyone says. Keri took it there and im sold on this whole “No Boys Allowed” album after seeing this video. I will be purchasing the CD December 21st. Nuff Said!

This is such a good video for such a bad song. I seriously love Keri and she looked so good in the video. I loved how she payed homage to all that came before her. I still just can’t get into this song though. I still find it super cheesy and it just doesn’t fit Keri IMO. I think this song is meant for someone younger like Miley Cyrus or Tiffany Evans…even Willow Smith! But regardless, I am loving the concept. I will be buying ‘No Boys Allowed’!

November 14th, 2010 at 2:20 pm
For those wondering, these are those who KH is paying tribute to:
Josephine Baker
Lena Horne or Dorothy Dandridge
Andrews Sisters (but they werent AfrAm. Remember Xtina Aguilera homaged them in her 2007 Candyman video)
Supremes
Donna Summer
Janet Jackson
TLC

quite frankly the song is annoying and it has no range and she proably have to lipsync like at black girl rock. However , pretentious this is I think she is trying to be like beyonce. No not because of (well not only because) the scene of her reenacting donna summer in which she actually look beyonce (moving like a paraody of beyonce) but she utlizing (notice not stealing) the same method beyonce. Not that its not okay for one to pay homage or to adopt older style like Rih _ adobting r n b signers 80 style for last album was cool. However has done thosa same remeditions both in video and concerts using that style and same artist hair make up etc. ALso the song lack range , lyrical ingenuitity (that keri normally displays); but moreover the melody and chorous sounds a mix of 8783 or what that bey album was . ( Also breaking points – sound very much destiny childfree in the same context hook /chorus and melody).

November 15th, 2010 at 11:54 pm
The reason why it sound like Beyonce is because she was offered the song a couple year back for that album but she passed on it .

November 16th, 2010 at 12:03 am
Get EM Girl … she actually paying homage but she taking shots at rhi bey and ciara . my girls is saying all u chicks act like u r doing something big , but what u did has akready been done and ur images are borrowed. she can choose any classic donna summer , tlc and janet looks but to make a point keri choose the infamous copied looks beyonce -donna summers , ciara – janet , tlc- rihanna . duh that y she did the video to this song because dont hate me cuz i can sing dance act and mostly iimportant beautiful look> That is not copied. She talked about in the interview >

Seriously, you people kill me. Everyone must be in middle/high school that send in comments here and have no knowledge of music what-so-ever. Or must be just completely blind and so brain-washed with today’s POP Crap to not see anything other than lackluster artist. Keri Hilson could have just stood there and sang the song for a video and you all would have still compared her to Beyonce, Ciara, or Rihanna. After reading everyones comments, I went and watched the video. AT NO POINT IN THE VIDEO IS SHE TAKING BEYONCE’S STYLE OR CIARA’S OR RIHANNA’S STYLE. Keri was channeling Donna Summer/Diana Ross for the Disco portion of the video… funny Beyonce DID THE SAME THING FOR DREAM GIRLS, YET none of y’all seem to think she copied anyone. This crap is getting so ridiculous that the original Artist, before the “new age of crap” rolled in, are getting compared to other artist who are just biting their style. Why should anyone like the likes of Diana Ross, Donna Summer, Tina Turner, etc… bow down and apologize to these new cookie cutter artist for so called stealing their style?? Doesn’t make sense to me at all!

I always like her music but I’m not a “fan”… I looove the video tho! Liked the traveling in time thing! Am I the only person who knew that the very first lady resembled Josephine Baker? I thought that’s what she was going for in the beginning. I also thought she slipped beyonce in there with the blue mini dress and wild hair. I could be wrong.

Just be honest and tell the truth, Keri Hilson did her thang. I don’t hate Beyonce, but I definantly lean towards Keri. I see Beyonce in more commercials than music videos. The music world is big ENOUGH for both women. She did an amazing job on the video and the song. From just hearing this song and Breaking Point, No Boys Allowed is going to be awesome. Anytime there maybe a threat to anyone “we” love so much(Bey), “we began to hate the threat(Keri)… I will continue to be behind my girl Miss Keri Hilson..
[Reply]
November 21st, 2010 at 3:09 pm
ok first of all… i love this video, im young and i knew everything she was paying homage to. The song is catchy, has a good beat, and is about how women of the past displayed their confidence in being beautiful, and how now its our turn.
Maybe I live in a cave.. i had no idea people hated Keri Hilson! She’s not awful or terrible at all. Shes gorgeous, has a great voice and writes very catchy songs. Comparing her to Beyonce is just not right, they are two totally different artists who both happen to sing r&b, so something is bound to sound similar here and there. Keep in mind Keri was in the music business long before she went solo, and she’s written for a lot of people. Whether you like it or not, she has the credentials. I bet there is a song you love sung by an artist that she helped compose and you don’t even know it. I love beyonce, and i love keri, but my love for each of them is different. WHY DOES THE WORLD FEEL THE NEED TO COMPARE ALL THE TIME.

Why pole tripping when they say it’s Beyonce?? It’s an honest mistake!!! When I first saw the video immediate I saw Beyonce! Totally the dress the make up the hair is totally her!! But when I read some if the comments I’d get where they got Donna Summer from. Before her is Diana and the supremes. She doesn’t do her twice. Overall I love this tribute but it’s not something I will expect from Keri but at the same time I’m not a huge fan of hers but great song and vid!!!
[Reply]
November 24th, 2010 at 11:33 am
I really like the video! I am not crazy about the song though. I’m glad she is paying homage to many women forgotten in our time such as Josephine Baker, Dorothy Dandridge, Lena Horne, Andrews sisters, Diana Ross, and Donna Summer. I grew up watching their movies and listening to their music. Music did not begin with Beyonce! I think more people should check out past artists such as Billie Holiday, Nina Simone, Ella Fitzgerald, Mahalia Jackson and others. You will be surprised what you discover:)

November 29th, 2010 at 9:44 pm
I like the concept but I’m still waiting for another Keri Hilson song that really comes hard in lyrical creativity, outstanding production, or (call me a hater if you want) if she gets some killer vocal lessons and really belts it out. I’ve been waiting with baited breath since ‘The Way I Are’ and ‘Turnin’ Me On’ for her to bring it. Sadly the fact that Keri Hilson is ‘so beautiful’ is more important than making good music. The video was very entertaining, whether or not she’s impersonating Donna Summers or Beyonce as Donna Summers can be argued indefinitely and the dance is cute and I’m sure will be making it’s debut in nightclubs across the country very soon.
There’s the beautiful girl with the clever video and catchy dance, Pretty Girl Rock has everything but an enjoyable melody or lyrics. Ehhh, but she looks good though, right? :/

I won’t lie. The 1st time I saw the video, I momentarily thought beyonce in the blue dress. But only for a second because the disco ball and the black hair were obviously dead give-aways. Besides that, it did not make sense that Keri would be paying homage to someone in her own era.
[Reply]
December 5th, 2010 at 10:29 pm
Love the song and the video even more.. she pays homage to the greats both in dance and in music. Josephine Baker, Dorothy Dandridge, Lena Horne, Diana Ross, Donna Summers, Janet, and TLC.. she’s apart of the new age of music so there’s no need to emulate a Beyonce, Ciara, or Rhianna here because they all come from the same era. People kill me trying to start up unnecessary drama between stars. They all are stars in there own right. Keri writes for all of them so I doubt there is any hard feelings from Bey, CiCi, or Rhi-Rhi. Nonetheless, good job Keri!

I think this video was amazing. This song isn’t conceited its about being comfortable with yourself and about self-confidence. She is a strong powerful woman and she is beautiful. And in the video she dresses like past beautiful women who were the best of their time. I love this video and song! I think its really amazing.
