Please understand that before I even took the time out of my life to watch Keri Hilson's new video "The Way You Love Me," I had never formed an opinion about her. I knew that some people I knew dug her and some people did not. I knew she was cute and I liked her hair on most occasions that I saw a picture of her. I had no inkling of her singing ability or what lane she occupied in R&B (read: Rap & Bullsh*t). I can't say that I know much more about her after watching her video for "I Love The Way You Love Me," but I can say that this video is a prime example of what not to do during any artist's career.

- Is that Jojo? I hope not.
- Why is Faith Evans in this? Her being involved in this uckery-fay at all just reminds of my mom telling me not to get others involved in my own problems.
- Keri Hilson can't dance. Fine. But thrusting one's crotch into the air--twice--is not overlooking the fact that her backup dancers are not able to overpower Keri's lack of sex appeal in this video and her overcompensation for lack of said appeal.
- I cannot believe that Rick Ross, yet again, proved some sort of respite for this nonsense. Kudos to you, sir.
- How did Columbus Short get involved in all of this mess?
- Was Keri Hilson really just licking...a door?
- Did someone travel back in time and clone Lloyd? And then force doppleganger Lloyd to be in this farce of a video?
- What is the point of this whole video? I know alot of videos don't have "points," but for a video to be almost seven minutes long, one would expect some sort of resolution to whatever creative arc was hoped to have been achieved.
I know many of you will wonder why so much is being spent on a video that is obviously not targeted towards an audience for whom craftsmanship is valued above pelvic thrusting. My answer: because this is some of the finest unintended hilarity that I have seen in a long time. As far as Keri goes, I wish her good luck...and Monistat. Take a look at this obviously NSFW video and leave your thoughts in the comments.
