This is my daughter and I song.... My daughter is deceased now and every time I see this video I smile at all the good memories we have singing and dancing to this song... Thanks Keri.... This song will forever be in my heart
this song was so impactful to my childhood. this is one of those songs that MOVED my spirit and made me feel uplifted and beautiful in moments where I couldn't see myself clearly. listening to this song in 2024 brings me to chills and tears... I'm so happy that we still have access to music that makes us FEEL GOOD
:/ you trying to be sarcastic? I mean, I can't imagine being the person who constantly talks about being bullied up till beyond idek what age. I'm trying to be nice here. But like? You let ppl control you like that? Bc I consider my own blood line to be the worst. Everyone else? Well, you came, you saw, you can go about your merry way now. Bc I don't even think about that sh. If I do, it's rare. But I'll question you more for it before I ever allow it to get under my skin. & Yeah, every.single.time. there's always some issue going on w/ the "bully." Like, lol. I'm supposed to be insulted by that? YeahNO!Really, I just truly hate anyone who's ever wronged me about anyone or anything permanent (or could've been) in my life. Well, I hate ppl who belittle trauma too tho. Go back to your safe bubble. No one even asked. But yeah, so in my world's things arent so wrapped around petty. With that said, imagine having your head constantly obsessed about looks. Not just everyone else's, but you're own too tho. & I'm not even that person. I'm not some goddess, I don't think my sh don't stank. But I don't feel so low about myself, the only way I can feel good about myself is to tear other ppl down, compare myself, wever. But yet, i somehow still cross ppls minds more. Glad to know that I was what you used to define your worth? I mean, I could brag about sh. But you know? Ppl either get grossed out by it, or get jello. I know I get grossed out by conceited ppl. Some of em don't even have it like that. So there's that, irony. I remember once, I really don't even remember the situation. But I know I was kinda dumbfounded by it, & I didn't even say sh in response. & This guy watching me, out of no where, like how they sometimes tend to do, giggled & said, " it must be painful being beautiful." I smirked at how cheesey that seemed for maybe less than a sec, but switched back to irritated in no time. I said something like," shutup. It is tho. Ppl always be hatin', & for no damn reason!" Also, I'll have you know, that I remember this enough to know that this song is at least 15+ yrs old. So yeah, I'm still here.. . In reality, I don't even think about my looks that much till other ppl mention it.
This song was written for Black girls to be more confident in themselves and embrace our beauty/femininity despite what white supremacy tells us, we should love ourselves and rock our looks because we are the blueprint. That's why she dresses up as Black icons from different decades such as Josephine Baker Donna Summer and Janet Jackson. I love this song, it means so much to me. 💖
YES!! I saw her live in NYC back in 2011 when I won tix to the Iheart radio concert of hers! Was my 1st concert. I went solo as I loved this song til this day! I will be making a thread on my twitter @Alimaway and this will be one of the songs I feature for Women Month.
Yes all these beautiful women she highlighted.. Kerry is so talented n beautiful.. n all the women listening r beautiful too.. glad this song touched so many lives
The last change is my favourite, where she's just herself, singing and dancing. She shows that you don't have to be a super famous icon, dress in expensive clothing, have flashy dancing, or dramatic makeup. You can just be yourself and still be beautiful.
This song literally was the reason I didn’t commit suicide in 4th grade. Also, thank you all who have left sweet and positive messages. To the ignorant few who believe my decision to live or die was based on this song particularly or societal views of beauty... just keep your comments to yourself. You can never fathom what anyone is going through just because your perfect bubble of life has not been disturbed. Anyways keep spreading positivity and love y’all💙. And r.i.p. to those who weren’t so lucky to have found their peace 🙏🏽. And because folks are blind enough to believe I felt this way because of my “beauty” you’re wrong, being raped, molested, dealing with domestic abuse, and verbal abuse as a child is a lot to handle and i was just in elementary school... didn’t really feel like the negative comments deserved a response but I’m sick of people assuming because you’re young you don’t go through anything. You never know what a person has experienced so, instead of questioning why they want to kill themselves just be glad they didn’t geesh !
I'm back in 2024. This is still a visual masterpiece!!! Taking us through the different decades of music and television, from silent films of the 1930s to the funky 70s, the dance revolution of the (golden era) 80s to "TLC" in the 90s (the point where tears inevitably fill my eyes as nostalgia overwhelms me). Beautiful!!!
It's not intended as a fashion parade but a homage to female icons in the music world in chronological order, it is: 1.Josephine Baker - 20's, Flapper Era 2.Dorothy Dandridge - 30's 3.Andrew Sisters[Sister Sledge, I think] - 40's 4.Diana Ross - 50's 5.Donna Summers - 90's [I'm not sure which video] 6.Janet Jackson [From the video "Rhythmn Nation"] -80's 7.TLC (T-Boz) [From the video "Creep"] -90's 8.Herself - 00's
I hope Keri Kilson comes back and brings new hits soon! She has a beautiful voice and talent!! even tho some say 👑🐝 got her canceled and that’s why she hasn’t been back 😢
I miss this amount of effort put into music videos fr. Beautiful, goofy, carefree, iconic, and respectfully paid homage to the musicians that came before her
I can’t stop listening to this song this song this make me stop crying cause people at my school was talking about how black I’m am and my mom told me to listen to this
You ARE beautiful, own it sister. I was there until I discovered my own beauty, took a very long time but know only YOU define who you are. All I see is beauty, walk in it Queen (believe it for yourself) xoxoxo
You are perfectly made, love❤ What they say about you, has nothing to do with you! It just shows their insecurities, and how horrible they are. Keep your head up so your crown don't fall. "If you ain't got no haters you ain't poppin" - I forgot who this was by, but this is really true. You are beautiful, wonderful, intelligent, and amazing!!!
Keri Hilson really nailed the looks in the video and I can name them off: 1.) Josephine Baker (1920's.) 2.) Dorothy Dandridge (1930's.) 3.) Doris Day (1940's.) 4.) Diana Ross (1960's.) 5.) Donna Summer (1970's.) 6.) Janet Jackson (1980's.) 7.) Tionne Watkins aka T-Boz from TLC (1990's.)
This song never fails to fill me with nostalgia. It always makes me think of my preteen years in Jr. High, playing with my blue Nintendo DSI and watching iCarly, Big Time Rush and Victorious on Nickelodeon 24/7. All my older GenZ babies check in👇🏽🩷🩷 #1998
Every girl who grew up listening to this, is definitely a pretty girl now ♥️ this feels so crazy to listen to know and confidently sing the lyrics. I think that’s what Keri wanted young girls to feel like when listening to this obvi.
This is the line up: Josephine Baker- 20s Lena Horne- 30s Patty Andrew (Andrew sisters)-40s Diana Ross (Supremes)-60s Donna Summer-70s Janet Jackson-80s Tboz (TLC)-90s
Looking back a decade later, this was actually a really great and well-designed music video, and a wonderful homage to Black Women's impact in popular culture.
Yes it is! Because so many women of all nations hate on us for being naturally beautiful. Yet they copy& compare themselves to us in everyway, but say were unattractive.. sorry if I hurt your feelings just stating the Facts.
This song should have been out in this Era. So positive, no cussing word, not delusional, not ratchet it's just that positive.. the vidéo is also awesome, inspired by all black female singers... Come on Keri.. we need new music
This song is underrated as hell and I feel sorry for the people that missed the message entirely with this song. Big ups to Keri Hilson, I know being an artist was not really her thing as she is more so a behind the scenes songwriter but I commend her for stepping out into the limelight for a bit to put out her own message in her music. Pretty Girl Rock will forever be a classic because it teaches girls and women to feel comfortable in their own skin and not to allow others to put them down no matter what stage they are in their life. ❤❤❤👍🏽
@@yllanafederico2203 Keri released her 3rd album in March of 2016, it was titled L.I.A.R. which is acronym for Love Is A Religion. Since then however she has most been doing features with other artist or songwriting for other artist.
Your right it is a really good song. Teaches girls, young women and women to love who they are that's good no matter what anyone else feels about them.
Keri, when this came out I was homeless, in and out of jail, and unhealthy. Now I have a house, a good job, and a husband. This song and “Clover Cage - The Lone Dancer” are the two songs that helped with my depression. I just want everyone to know things will get better. We are in this together. I love you ❤
I just love how some people say this is a conceited song. Did anyone not hear the end when she was saying YOUR beautiful??? This is a song to let females know they are beautiful and should act like they know. Walk with your head up, a pep in your step with a smile on your face everywhere you go and your beauty will shine through to others. Show confidence and love yourselves while showing support to other females, ladies. Build each other up instead of tearing each other down. And that dear friends, is the pretty girl rock :)
Yea well sadly thats not how girls think or act. and before you or anyone else start rippin' into my hide for this I am a girl as well with 23 years of experience of havin' girls takin' turns rippin into me I can very well say this. As sad as it is girls/women/females/ladies just see each other as competition for their men or place which ever it may be. We're very vicious, conceited, backstabbing creatures and we make t-rex's look like puppies. I do agree with what your sayin but reality comes in with a mean right hook and a upper cut in this. I mean guys try an figure us out an lets face it women understand women and we can't stand each other.
lydia daniels I know females are like that, but why not break that cycle instead of feeding into it??? It seems dumb to me to just go around hatin on other women, when what I got is just as special, and instead of being envious, why not just work with what I've got? I agree that women are competitive with each other, especially for the attention of men, but it doesn't have to be that way. By just giving up on the issue, you're also giving in. I want to encourage women, and lift them up. Every other female should start doing the same, because it honestly doesn't have to be the way it is now. Like Tatyana said, only insecure women do that, and women need to work on their insecurities, and love them for them, instead of being jealous of other women. Society teaches us that hatred/envy/competitiveness is the way of the female, but we must break this cycle, so that the next generation of girls will know better.
Constance Collins Not trying to put down this idea or anything like that just so everyone knows this. it COULD change but it probably wont. Can't change something thats primal like that. and i believe most movie writers would be out of the job if it did xD cuz u know most the movies the pump out are just what i've said xD
lydia daniels ok girrrrl, youve got some pretty bad views! i completely get your point in that girls are naturally catty towards one another (although its heavily worsened by society) but that doesnt mean ALL girls are exactly the same. Also girls are ALLOWED to have some negative traits, were human, so dont be so cynical! i know you got that end part of your comment from the 'dont try to understand women, women understand women and they hate each other' meme and i just wanted to call you out on that coz its a pretty damaging mentality. the fact that men dont understand women isnt womens faults, its mens and women dont hate each other coz they understand each other, they each other because of competition. And even if, that doesnt mean women deserve to be hated, were human too just like men and they rarely get called out for the dumb shit they do! anyway sorry for the rant, peace!
Girls I’m here to remind y’all that now matter what you look like, makeup or no makeup, skinny or not skinny, white yellow or black , no matter what shape or size you are all beautiful ❤️ Love yourself no matter what!! Self love is the best love
when i listen to this songs, people will keep on staring at me whenever i go and i became a different person like- i step into my feminine energy, maybe the affirmations from the chorus 😂❤
@@indianajosephine4881 No problem my friend. You deserve a straight answer. While this song makes the ladies confident, the men can apply the same message by pretending she is telling the guys to do the pretty boy swag. Overall, the ladies and gentlemen can help each other to be confident when communicating, which can be useful for building up one another. I hope that makes sense. God Bless.
Keri is sooo underrated, she’s one of those artists that was meant for stardom. She’s just naturally talented. I believe this song was the kickoff for the Black Girls Rock movement 💕No matter how many showbiz people try to keep her back. She’s A Star ⭐️
I remember getting bullied over my dark skin complexion then turning on the T.V. and hearing this song come on. I thought it was a sign from God saying I'm beautiful, but anyway ever since then when I see this song in my recommendations I always listen to it remembering how beautiful I am despite people's opinions on my skin tone.
I just dont understand an African American being bullied in U.S.. isn't U.S. a United States of complexion? Aren't people there exposed to all complexion. Is so sad to hear this though.
Roxyl LC Fox As an American I can tell you first hand, although there are many shades of complexions, darker skin tones are not the beauty standard here in the US. Many of our African American celebrities that are considered beautiful have lighter complexions such as Rihanna and Beyoncé. So diversity in complexions doesn’t equal acceptance of all skin tones unfortunately. I’ve never been bullied about my complexion, but people have kinda insinuated I can’t be %100 black, of West African descent because of how I look, and asking if I’m mixed, which I feel is not even remotely a compliment to insinuate that I’m beautiful because I have to have some type of mix, or one of my parents is mixed. It’s like saying “you’re pretty for a black girl”, completely backhand compliment and offensive. Because of how the American beauty standards are, many women of darker complexions and black women are going against what society says is beautiful and have started accepting our complexions. This may not be related, but we are also accepting our hair textures, hence the “natural hair movement”, which is a continuation of us also accepting that our hair texture is beautiful as well.
She is definitely in the hall of Fame. She's so elite with her craft. I love her. She's certainly sitting at the same table as Beyonce and Alicia keys.
My name is Karianna. Family and friends call me Kari.When I first heard this song my mom sang it to me. She always says it reminds her of me and her beautiful daughter. So when I feel down or insecure I sing this song to myself and it reminds me of me. Everyone is beautiful and haters gonna hate. We are all BOSSES!!!

@@kamortegagarcia3442 yes that's my favorite one. My mom had bought pajamas just like that and I used to put them on and dance
@@aerialnight6907 awwwwl that's so sweet:)
@@aerialnight6907 same-
i thought she was just bragging that she was pretty in this song
Ladies, you all are BEAUTIFUL. Doesn't matter what's your size, or ethnicity/race you are. You're beautiful just the way you are.🥰
Pull it together don't hate pretty girl rock 🔥💯😏
This video deserves a Grammy, a Emmy, something. Just the homage that’s being paid is fucking immaculate. Bring Keri back
This!! This song is everything and the music video like she did it 🔥
I’m totally agree !!!

Patty Andrew (Andrew sisters)-40s
Diana Ross (Supremes)-60s
Donna Summer-70s
Janet Jackson-80s
Tboz (TLC)-90s
Mike EZ it was Dorothy dandrige not lena
@@val9170 watch the movie Cabin in the sky, she was a portraying Lena's character from that movie
Thanks for the line up. Because I was trying to figure out the earlier women
I knew it was Josephine Baker !!! I love it !
Thanks!
I remember when this song came out SO MANY GUYS WERE SO MAD ABOUT IT. all because she was calling herself pretty.
havent heard this song in over a decade
Looking back a decade later, this was actually a really great and well-designed music video, and a wonderful homage to Black Women's impact in popular culture.
The ander sister not black
Yes it is! Because so many women of all nations hate on us for being naturally beautiful. Yet they copy& compare themselves to us in everyway, but say were unattractive.. sorry if I hurt your feelings just stating the Facts.
ikr
it was already a great video when it was released but I totally agree and I'm a white guy from Europe so I think we can say I'm unbiased.
Well...
I dont know why but the TLC tribute made me emotional. It was so beautiful and perfect 😭❤️
No cap, it was... just bittersweet. I was a great touch.
Justin Bieber school and the block list then 😎😎😎😛👧👨👩🎓👨🎓👦👩
No cap 🧢
Because they really captured Left Eye well!
Fave dedication in this vid
Who still listens to this song in 2024?, 2024 anyone?

It's tuff💪🏾💪🏾

Facts
Yes she’s very beautiful
Indeed!!

Nah there's beautiful girls everywhere I've witnessed.
Every woman who very high self esteem and confidence this song is dedicated to every gorgeous women in the world including myself.

@@elinahenriksson7992 Beautiful plus I love encouraging women cause u are very gorgeous
Lisa Jeter yes I love that
What about ugly unattractive women?
@@nscardino34 As long as she know she's beautiful
This song should have been out in this Era. So positive, no cussing word, not delusional, not ratchet it's just that positive.. the vidéo is also awesome, inspired by all black female singers... Come on Keri.. we need new music
Keri has been blacklisted so unless the Beyhive and their queen says otherwise idk if we'll be hearin' from Ms. Keri any time soon unfortunately
Andrew Sisters weren't black
@@rahbeeuhno she hasn’t. stop lying
@@trapliyah1709 she admitted it herself so tell Keri to stop lyin' I'm just the messenger.
Come back 😢come back!!!!!!!! I miss her
This song is underrated as hell and I feel sorry for the people that missed the message entirely with this song. Big ups to Keri Hilson, I know being an artist was not really her thing as she is more so a behind the scenes songwriter but I commend her for stepping out into the limelight for a bit to put out her own message in her music. Pretty Girl Rock will forever be a classic because it teaches girls and women to feel comfortable in their own skin and not to allow others to put them down no matter what stage they are in their life. ❤❤❤👍🏽
What happened to Keri????
@@yllanafederico2203 Keri released her 3rd album in March of 2016, it was titled L.I.A.R. which is acronym for Love Is A Religion. Since then however she has most been doing features with other artist or songwriting for other artist.
Actually, she really wanted to sing but was blackballed by Beyonce. Look it up
Your right it is a really good song. Teaches girls, young women and women to love who they are that's good no matter what anyone else feels about them.
This is one of the best comment i ever read on TH-cam 👍🏿👍🏼 thank you 💖
She is more than qualified to sing this song
love your comment and name sis
Cute

girl, we all are too !
@@kiaradevsaran2558 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Keri, when this came out I was homeless, in and out of jail, and unhealthy. Now I have a house, a good job, and a husband. This song and “Clover Cage - The Lone Dancer” are the two songs that helped with my depression. I just want everyone to know things will get better. We are in this together. I love you ❤
When I was in highschool this song was a big hit and my favorite. Coming back to this song feels so nostalgic. Still beautiful.
I’m a guy and I still bump this to give me some self confidence 😤
Lmaooo bro my sister used to jammed to this back then and I would always jam wit her😂

This song reminds me of my elder sister. Nostalgic.

She was ahead of her time imo, if she released this now it'd do massive numbers.
I felt so at peace listening to this like all insecurities just vanished

She’s so beautiful and yes I miss her! Her voice is outstanding and wonderful! 2023 and I’m still missing her! Gotta love you Ms. Keri Hilson ❤❤🎉🎉
Bring this kinda music baaaaack 😩🫶🏽
This generation is far gone from bringing this type of music back. I am just lucky to have experienced this type of music for my childhood.
I just love how some people say this is a conceited song. Did anyone not hear the end when she was saying YOUR beautiful??? This is a song to let females know they are beautiful and should act like they know. Walk with your head up, a pep in your step with a smile on your face everywhere you go and your beauty will shine through to others. Show confidence and love yourselves while showing support to other females, ladies. Build each other up instead of tearing each other down. And that dear friends, is the pretty girl rock :)
Yea well sadly thats not how girls think or act. and before you or anyone else start rippin' into my hide for this I am a girl as well with 23 years of experience of havin' girls takin' turns rippin into me I can very well say this. As sad as it is girls/women/females/ladies just see each other as competition for their men or place which ever it may be. We're very vicious, conceited, backstabbing creatures and we make t-rex's look like puppies. I do agree with what your sayin but reality comes in with a mean right hook and a upper cut in this. I mean guys try an figure us out an lets face it women understand women and we can't stand each other.
Tatyana Liraine thats right, make yourself more of a target
lydia daniels I know females are like that, but why not break that cycle instead of feeding into it??? It seems dumb to me to just go around hatin on other women, when what I got is just as special, and instead of being envious, why not just work with what I've got? I agree that women are competitive with each other, especially for the attention of men, but it doesn't have to be that way. By just giving up on the issue, you're also giving in. I want to encourage women, and lift them up. Every other female should start doing the same, because it honestly doesn't have to be the way it is now. Like Tatyana said, only insecure women do that, and women need to work on their insecurities, and love them for them, instead of being jealous of other women. Society teaches us that hatred/envy/competitiveness is the way of the female, but we must break this cycle, so that the next generation of girls will know better.
Constance Collins Not trying to put down this idea or anything like that just so everyone knows this. it COULD change but it probably wont. Can't change something thats primal like that. and i believe most movie writers would be out of the job if it did xD cuz u know most the movies the pump out are just what i've said xD
lydia daniels ok girrrrl, youve got some pretty bad views! i completely get your point in that girls are naturally catty towards one another (although its heavily worsened by society) but that doesnt mean ALL girls are exactly the same. Also girls are ALLOWED to have some negative traits, were human, so dont be so cynical! i know you got that end part of your comment from the 'dont try to understand women, women understand women and they hate each other' meme and i just wanted to call you out on that coz its a pretty damaging mentality. the fact that men dont understand women isnt womens faults, its mens and women dont hate each other coz they understand each other, they each other because of competition. And even if, that doesnt mean women deserve to be hated, were human too just like men and they rarely get called out for the dumb shit they do! anyway sorry for the rant, peace!

You'd be surprised how many guys love girls with none of that clown makeup on (or just very little)... guilty as charged. ;)
Dan she killed it with Janet and TLC she's beautiful asf😊
Adrian C agreed
Adrian C Mariah killed it more
Not to mention serving some Josephine Baker realness!😜👍🏼
3 months and no one agrees with you.
She killed it.
when did mariah do anything TLC or Janet Jackson related, wtf?
This song is still and will always be relevant. I love her for this song, because it takes courage to sing it. And, I’m rocking to it.

Ohh there was once a Keri Hilson, what an Icon💎 this song is still a banger 🔥🔥
when i listen to this songs, people will keep on staring at me whenever i go and i became a different person like- i step into my feminine energy, maybe the affirmations from the chorus 😂❤
20s-30s: Josephine Baker
40s-50s: Dorothy Dandridge
60s: Diana Ross
70s: Donna Summer
80s: Janet Jackson
90s: T-Boz
Noura I'm wondering who she's trying to be between Dorothy and Diana
Seems to be The Andrews Sisters. But they seem out of place lol isn't this a tribute to black female singers?
Noura That's what I was confused on as well
2000s:Beyoncé 😭
Noura tlc
She doesn't realize that this song also help the brothers be confident around the pretty girls. God Bless.
Truth!
🤣🤣🤣
Really? I'm intrigued as to how so if you don't mind me asking?
@@indianajosephine4881 No problem my friend. You deserve a straight answer. While this song makes the ladies confident, the men can apply the same message by pretending she is telling the guys to do the pretty boy swag. Overall, the ladies and gentlemen can help each other to be confident when communicating, which can be useful for building up one another. I hope that makes sense. God Bless.
❤
Listening to this song hoping this energy stays alive
WHOS STILL HERE IN 2024
Keri is sooo underrated, she’s one of those artists that was meant for stardom. She’s just naturally talented. I believe this song was the kickoff for the Black Girls Rock movement 💕No matter how many showbiz people try to keep her back. She’s A Star ⭐️
Exactly she is A list Super Star
Why she’s so underrated I love this so much
Exactly! She really did kickstart the movement forreal, I remember this song made me truly love myself as a black girl!
I agree
So true, I was just discussing that w my daughter, she should have become super famous, talented, beautiful and down to earth, love her
I remember getting bullied over my dark skin complexion then turning on the T.V. and hearing this song come on. I thought it was a sign from God saying I'm beautiful, but anyway ever since then when I see this song in my recommendations I always listen to it remembering how beautiful I am despite people's opinions on my skin tone.
You"re Beautiful
I just dont understand an African American being bullied in U.S.. isn't U.S. a United States of complexion? Aren't people there exposed to all complexion. Is so sad to hear this though.
Amen sister
AshuGotchu & Music black is beautiful and so are you
Roxyl LC Fox As an American I can tell you first hand, although there are many shades of complexions, darker skin tones are not the beauty standard here in the US. Many of our African American celebrities that are considered beautiful have lighter complexions such as Rihanna and Beyoncé. So diversity in complexions doesn’t equal acceptance of all skin tones unfortunately. I’ve never been bullied about my complexion, but people have kinda insinuated I can’t be %100 black, of West African descent because of how I look, and asking if I’m mixed, which I feel is not even remotely a compliment to insinuate that I’m beautiful because I have to have some type of mix, or one of my parents is mixed. It’s like saying “you’re pretty for a black girl”, completely backhand compliment and offensive. Because of how the American beauty standards are, many women of darker complexions and black women are going against what society says is beautiful and have started accepting our complexions. This may not be related, but we are also accepting our hair textures, hence the “natural hair movement”, which is a continuation of us also accepting that our hair texture is beautiful as well.
This was my guilty pleasure song back then STILL IS. The video always legendary
The nostalgia
