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.

“More Than a Feeling”

Boston | 1976

Boston mastermind Tom Scholz was as surprised by anyone when he sent his unsolicited demo to record labels and got back a positive response. Scholz said, “I couldn’t believe it. Nobody knew who we were, so I wouldn’t even say we were struggling. It was groveling.” Part of the credit for the interest must go to the anthemic rock number "More Than a Feeling." Inspired by the Left Banke's 1966 hit "Walk Away Renee," Scholz worked on the song for five years in his basement studio before it was released on this album.
