Atlanta’s own Keri Hilson performed on her first major awards show wearing her ode to Michael Jackson….glittery socks and all.  The diva performed “Turnin Me On” and “Knock You Down” and for her tribute to the King of Pop, Keri performed a brief dance number while Kanye’s verse “Bad Real Bad…Michael Jackson” repeated in the background.

I was waiting on Keri to belt out a classic MJ tune but was disappointed (yet again) all I could do was yell at the screen:

“Dance…Spin…Grab Yo Crotch… SOMETHING!! Dayum!”

Remember that game where you fell backwards hoping someone would catch you?

Keri obviously has no problems with trust…

More flix and Keri’s performance video under the cut:

Keri’s vocals weren’t really up to par but it was her first time so umma cut her some slack. She LOOKED greated though…
