VIDEO FAB: Keri Hilson's "Pretty Girl Rock"

Nov 12 | by Natasha

Keri Hilson's brand new video for her second single "Pretty Girl Rock" just dropped.  She premiered it on "106 & Park" last night.  And in it, she's saluting other "pretty girls" from the past to the present like Diana Ross, "Josephine Baker", Janet Jackson, and TLC.

 

Check it inside...

About the song, Keri commented:

"It's not meant to be a vain record. I want everybody to feel like they can do the 'Pretty Girl Rock'. It's like the hair brush in the mirror, don't hate me 'cause I'm beautiful, 'cause you are. Everybody is beautiful."

Her next video will be for her street single "The Way You Love Me".  And her album No Boys Allowed drops December 21st.

UPDATE:  We asked Keri's label to find out from the horse's mouth the scoop on all the women she was chanelling in the vid.  Their answer--

She's paying homage to the different eras of beauty and the various trendsetters throughout history:

1920's silent film flapper
1930s movie star
1940's USO Girl
1960's Supremes
1970's Donna Summers/Diana Ross disco era
1980's Janet
1990's TLC
2000s Keri Hilson

Me and my girls saw BLACK GIRLS ROCK!!! this is the best show I have seen. these women from all walks of life represented in their own way of being able to hold there own and give back to the community of girls Rocking!!!! I loved the way these sistas came out. Keshia Coles, Nia Long, Kelly Price, Floretry, Jill Scott Fantashia, Ledisi. Keri Hilson, Ruby Dee,Lynn WHitfield. Kim Whittley. Hideia such a Beautiful young Lady. Oh my goodness the women that were honored the list goes on and on ... you had women who serve on the armed forces.to protect our country. who were committed to saving the planet. these were young women who stand for what they beleive in. ALL GIRLS ROCK!!!! and our black girls really need to be told you are special no matter what situation you're in. we have so many young moms, girls who go through what a grown 30 year old women goes through. I been there. I mentor and I continue to let our GIRLS , WOMEN WE ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow u might want to

Wow u might want to understand the message behind the song. It has nothing to do with the way u look on the outside. It is a song to empower all women to know that their beautiful. ur comment is so ignorant there is nothing special about the way Beyonce or Mya looks why they should have the right to sing this song. This song is an anthem for any women that has the confidence to look at themselves in the mirror and know their beautiful.
