Keri Hilson is on the cover of J’adore Magazine and has some things to say about artists being held as role models:
It’s important for us to be role models for our fans, but this is the entertainment industry and artists are not paid to be parents to our fans. We are not perfect. We are human beings just like our fans. Our music reflects us as a person and how we feel when we write a record. Our music also shows how we may be dealing with a situation at a particular time. Things happen in life. Why should we be exempt from the common compassion that a person receives who is not in the industry?
Keri Hilson also talks about her roles as a writer in the idustry, and defining what she feels is real music:
It’s funny. Some people say they want to hear someone real, but some artists do not even write their own songs. Some artists do not even meet with the songwriters that sell them their next big hit. So, if you appreciate the music and understand the realness of a true artist, then check In A Perfect World…..I have songs that anyone can relate to and they are from the heart.
MGV Says: I go back and forth on the moral obligation of artist as role models. I think being a role model inhibits creativity when you have to make sure you’re putting forth a positive image. But at the same time, I don’t think parents she look to artist like Lil Wayne as role models. If you want to carry that role model cross as an artist, I think you should let it be known, so parents can help their children decide what’s appropriate and what’s not.

She reminds me of a female Kanye West. I don’t know if I’m feeling her.

@ princess:
She’s been having mix views lately, I don’t know what’s going on…one day she says something negative and then the next she says she didn’t mean any harm.

Keri Hilson is so pretty. I’m not too familiar with her music, but I’ve seen enough of her to know that she’s an attractive young woman.

i agree with keri . now and days parents rely too much on celebrities to be their child’s role models when they should be their own child’s role model .

I agree with her too. I mean they do it as a job, only a handful of celebrities, do it for the responsibility.

But, sometimes It’s not that parents rely on artists to be a good, positive role model for their children. Children look up to their favorite artists on their own. So, you can’t always put it on the parents.
