[VIDEO PREMIERE] KERI HILSON "PRETTY GIRL ROCK"

It's not often that I'll post about a video clip, and not necessarily a song. However with Keri Hilson's new track - Pretty Girl Rock - the video clip is definitely the star.

Whilst the song is ok, it's a little bit more I Am... Sasha Fierce-reject than something that should be all about blowin' the airwaves in 2011. Alas, the video clip may just save the day.

The clip features Keri starring as iconic ladies throughout the years - firstly in the silent 20s, right through to Keri as herself today. There is a couple of tributes in the clip too...  Janet Jackson and TLC being two of them.

Like I said, the song is so-so; but the clip is very cool. Enjoy.
