Why Keri Hilson's career ended: Polow Da Don sabotaged her

[southern.girl]

Usher kicked Keri off that song because he wanted Beyoncé. And she is terrible live.
Keri is corny and thinks she's better than she actually is. She's an a$$hole to her fans and when she first came out she insulted Beyoncé which is stupid. They would have had the same fans but she alienated them. Keri's nasty attitude is well known. Her writing is overstated, most of it comes from the writing team.
Honestly she could have been great because pretty girl rock is a great song but she let Polow gas her up.

It's not exactly a bad thing to be "corny," IMO. Ironically, Bey shows absolutely no personality.

Plus, its beyond obvious that Beyoncé was/is on some Diana Ross, backstabbing behind the scenes, steez. Are we gonna ignore the fact that her hubby enrolls black female talent (i.e. Melanie Fiona), only for the said talent to never be heard from again? How is it that Rihanna can have a botched album release but Bey & Jay projects are sealed with the blood of a baby camel? Bey likes to claim feminism while using men (Matthew & Jay) to do her dirty work and shut down the talents of others.

For the record, writers are encouraged to collaborate b/c collaborations create more content/songs. Therefore, I don't think that's a viable excuse to diminish Keri's accomplishments. Plus, its not like Keri was 1 of 10 song writers, that wrote a song, that repeated 25 words.

Ciara, Amerie, Keyshia cole and Keri suffered all the same fate because they attacked Beyonce

Insulting someone should not be the end of your career. There was a time when Whitney was shading Mariah. Brandy & Monica was beefing for God knows what. And yet, no one's career ended. The older divas (especially Aretha) were way worse in shading. For the record, Beyonce is not above being checked or talked about. She's a damn human just like everyone else!

Don't shoot the messenger, i'm just giving you the reason, i never said i was agree with it, but at the same time, Beyonce never spoke against anyone, she's seen like a angel and have a huge base of hardcore female fans, so what's the reason for these people to go against her, their strategy for success was kind of stupid and crabs in the barrel mentality, so i'm not going to defend them.

Beyonce never spoke against anyone publicly. Like I said, Rihanna popped despite Beyonce. The fact that Rihanna is damn near the only survivor in this "Bey saturated climate" speaks VOLUMES as to what is going on BEHIND the scenes. If they are the crabs, Bey's people were the handlers that placed them in the barrel.

I do like some of Bey songs. But I hate and loathe what her presence has done to the black female artistry.

Rihanna was at fault for Anti leaking. It was the first album she released from her own label.
Beyoncé learned when 4 leaked a month early. And no one who has worked with or for Beyoncé says these tings about her. LA Reid only signed Rihanna because of Beyoncé's cosign. I have a few friends who work in the music side of entertainment and Beyoncé is known to offer advice to young women especially black women. Hell Chloe and Halle are getting a much bigger push than the white girl signed to park wood.
You never hear negative things about Beyoncé from people in the industry as opposed to Nicki Minaj.
Honestly most of these artist don't have longevity. Ashanti was hot for awhile then murder inc went under and she never really recovered. Alicia Keys refuses to sing in her range and annoys people. Christina Aguilera is a drunk. Britney Spears can't sell albums anymore. Of all the artist who came up with Beyoncé only she and Justin Timberlake can still sell albums and sell out tours.


As for Keri notice her writing team broke up and she's no longer writing. She alienated a large part of her fan base by insulting Beyoncé and Ciara. Plus she got into a relationship and put a complete stop to her music career. And also she is terrible to her fans. There use to be videos on you tube of how rude she was to them at album signings and shows. If you piss your fans off before really taking off that's on you.

Cliffnotes nikkette, it should be mandatory at this point when you post a video.

I'm 3:32 in and haven't learned one thing I didn't know already.

Polow Da Don made her diss Ciara and Beyonce when she didn't want to for publicity and leaked it and it backfired.

 

[Self_Born7]

Keri > Beyonce

Shame the industry backed Beyonce instead of Keri

I think she wrote a couple of beyonce's joints. while she may not make it singing, she can always fall back and get more money writting songs/hits

 

[ThiefyPoo]

Her music was actually good too...

It's a shame cause shawty did everything the right way till she dissed Beyoncé .

Keri had it all package wise .

She could write , sing and dance a little .

Of course she has the looks she's beautiful.

Beyoncé stans really need to chill they been harassing her for years shyt is wild corny .

Beyonce is the most successful black female pop artist in a industry where white female dominated for decades, she opened many doors for other black female like Rihanna and Kelly Rowland, i give her credit for that and she's not stopping anyone for doing their thing, i don't even know why some people are coming for her, i don't like her songs but i don't see why people are so pressed by her, she's doing nothing wrong, these female played their card wrong that's all, they thought putting another black female down to the pleasure of white people was going to do something for them, they miscaculated.

This is one of my biggest issues with black female music industry over the last decade is the seemingly lack of collaborations. When you don't collaborate is when you have situations like now where there was that one stretch last year I believe where there wasn't a single black woman on the hot 100 for weeks. Or how there really hasn't been a new black female superstar/star in 7 years (Nicki in 2010) and Nicki's about to be 35, Beyonce's about to be 36 and Rihanna is damn near 30. Where are the young black female 19-24 olds? The music industry is typically a young person's game. Imo opinion Tink should be waayyy bigger than what she is. Did ya'll know she has a song with over 120 million views on youtube? This song wasn't a single, played on radio, promoted or nothing. The song randomly went viral on facebook/ig in 2015 like 2 years after it originally came out. That tells me she definitely has the talent there and is an audience, why she isn't "there" yet is anyone's guess.

Tink song is fire, definitely talented. Timbo was giving her mad praise, imo where he fukked up was immediately comparing her to Aaliyah. Why compare her to anyone?

But i agree there is this HUGE void of black female talent on a mainstream level...

H.E.R is currently my favorite female R&B singer..currently on tour with Bryson Tiller, doubt we'll hear anything from her unless she goes the pop route like Weeknd.

I will just make four points, as you are coming across as a PR person from Bey's camp (no shade).

#1 - It was rumored that Jay Z was screwing Tiarra Marie, so it actually makes sense that Bey would support the competition. Let's keep it real, nobody thought Rihanna had IT accept for Dame.
#2 - Chloe & Halle barely have any buzz.
#3 - How do you define longevity? I've never been the biggest fan of Alicia Keys home wrecking arse, but Alicia has several timeless songs. Beyonce has current songs...but how will that pan out for her legacy?
#4 - In regards to your Ashanti example, I personally feel that a writer with a decent voice should always have a seat at the table. Roberta Flack had a good voice but a great pen and she maintained a nice career. Why can't Ashanti be allowed to do the same? As a matter of fact, the Ashanti downfall actually coincides with the increased fandom of Beyonce. Ashanti was one of the earlier victims of the Beyhive.

This thread is embarrassing

Can you please clarify what doors Beyonce has opened for upcoming black artists?

If you are referring to Beyonce being a black pop star, we don't even have to go that far in history for find a predecessor. Have you heard of Janet Jackson?

She opened the doors for Rihanna? How Sway? Opening doors is what Jay did for J. Cole and Kanye and tried to do with Vic Mensa recently. It's what Em and Dre did for 50 and 50 did for Banks, Game, Buck, etc. I
