LOL, what a joke.

Not Keri, you guys lol.

Shes a singer, she can sing as hook as good as anyone else. Did you need Keyshia Cole, Chrisette Michelle or Marsha Ambrosius; somebody who isn't considered a "pop star" in order to be satisfied? ::)

You haven't even heard the hook yet.
Chrisette Michelle is a pop star

Have you heard "Epiphany"? ??? Hardly "pop".

& on top of that, in order to be a "star" a basic minimum requirement should be to have a single on iTunes that's in the Top 100, which according to iTunes, she doesn't have.

Keri Hilson, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Beyonce; they are pop. If you can't hear the difference, that's your problem.

Dre has always been about money. Keri is singing a hook. You can either have HIGHLY popular Keri Hilson sing it & make people check it JUST for the feature or a no-name that would be as good a hook, but less appealing without a big name.

Besides recent auto-tuned hooks; popular female artists singing hooks is what sells songs.

I would have liked to have Latoiya Williams instead.

fair enough.

but a big name doesn't necessarily mean you have a certified hit

maybe this will be a "Message" type track dedicated to his son
Dre said he probably won't put the songs for his son on Detox.
