R&B vocalist and songwriter Keri Hilson prefers men who are clean-shaven.

The “Pretty Girl Rock” singer spent Wednesday on the pier in Santa Monica conducting the “Kiss & Tell” experiment with Gillette. Women were asked to kiss their bearded-significant others before and after they shaved. Then, they picked the kiss they liked best.

“I’m pretty sure we’re going to find that women prefer shaven to stubble,” Hilson told Yahoo! Music, before the day-long live poll began.

Hilson added that her like for a smooth look doesn’t mean she does not like mustaches or beards. 

“With men that I’m attracted do, I do actually like facial hair,” she said. “I just want it to be clean. It’s like coloring, Fellas. You know outside of the lines? Just get rid of that. Please. Daily or however often you need to do it so it doesn’t hurt me?”

In the video below, Hilson has some fun also evaluates the grooming habits of some of her male counterparts Justin Timberlake, Drake, Common and Usher.

Hilson plans to release new music this year. The results to the Kiss & Tell experiment will be released on Valentine’s Day.

“Karma Chameleon”

Culture Club | 1983

Boy George has said this song was about standing by what you believe in. However, at the time, he was involved in a secret affair with Culture Club drummer Jon Moss. "Now people can understand the songs better," he said. "They were written about my relationship with Jon, and they were also written about being a gay man in a homophobic world." The lines "If I listen to your lies, would you say/I'm a man without conviction/I'm a man who doesn't know how to sell a contradiction," described his life at the time, he said. "I was selling this big lie."
