Oh Keri, gurl, what's going on?

This is an album cover a DRAG QUEEN would be proud of. We're not sure if that qualifies as a compliment or not. The jury is still out. But Oh Gurl. What has happened with La Hilson? Has she decided that in a post-GaGa world, sickeningly-catchy Pop/R&B midtempos aren't enough to pay the mortgage and she has to go all out? Or is she just having a very public nervous breakdown. Or are her record label filled with internet forum posters, making dreadful decisions and mismanaging her budget? Or is there even a budget? Maybe one of those aforementioned internet forum posters designed, conceived and executed (quite literally... well, maybe not literally) the coverart.

Who knows? Keri had it all set up for her a killer sophomore album: she seems to be generally liked, despite the fierce competition in her department of the music industry (female solo could-be-superstars) she seemed to have the edge, what with writing most of her tunes (so we've been lead to believe), and even with only one proper hit ("Knocks You Down") under her belt, she could've built on it to become the megastar her stans would've wanted.

But now, but now, but now...

What with one megaflop lead single, the unmemorable and dirge-tastic "Breaking Point", and a totally inadvisable look overhaul, Keri may be consigned to the halls of the fame. The One Hit Wonder branch. The Minor One Hit Wonder branch. If she's lucky.
