June 25, 200916 yr Just seen the album advertised on TV. Good thing. The album was introduced as "Timbaland presents...Keri Hilson" and they played "The Way I Are" first. Oh dear.
June 27, 200916 yr Did Timbaland even produce Knock You Down? :mellow: Nope, I think he only produced about 4 tracks on the album. :o
July 2, 200916 yr i dont get how someone who has all these names attached to her (Timberland, Neyo, Kanye West) hasnt hit the big time yet?? :S
July 2, 200916 yr i dont get how someone who has all these names attached to her (Timberland, Neyo, Kanye West) hasnt hit the big time yet?? :S ...well she sort of has with 'Knock You Down', hasn't she?
July 2, 200916 yr I agree Cremey and she has also written quite a few UK Top 10 hits (including 'Gimme More' & 'Piece of Me') so as a writer I'd say she sorta HAS hit the big time, but as a solo artist, not QUITE yet... I'm sure she will be soon though!
July 2, 200916 yr ...well she sort of has with 'Knock You Down', hasn't she? Yes thats true.. but shes so underated! shes absolutely fantastic IMO, i just dont know how she hasnt made it BIG yet, whilst Rihanna has.. if you get what i mean? because Rihanna is not a songwriter.. and cannot sing live.. Keri can do both.. hmmm.
July 4, 200916 yr I think the big problem with Keri not hitting the 'big time' yet is that her associations with all these big names is actually detrimental to her; she needs a track where she stands alone and doesn't have the 'featuring' tag after her name, she needs to establish her credibility. I really thought 'Energy' would do better than it did in the US, and think it would be a perfect release for the UK market. Secondly, not all of her songs on her album have cross-over appeal outside of the R&B/Urban vein, which Rihanna had and is why she was propelled to worldwide super stardom. I don't think Keri is going to hit the big time with her debut, 'Knock You Down' was pleasant enough and got her recognised but I think her sophomore effort will hopefully put her in a better stead at attacking the charts.

I think Ciara needs to do that aswell IMO! :)
