What happened to Amerie?

- In the early 2000s, Rich Harrison started his own production company called Richcraft Inc. At the time, He was known for producing a track on Mary.J’s album called Beautiful Ones.
With not that many production credits to his name, Rich decided to develop a new artist. She goes by the name Amerie.
Before Amerie dropped 1 thing She was just a young singer with a dream. Through a mutual friend, Amerie made contact with producer Rich Harrison and spoke to him on the phone. The pair then agreed to meet at a Mcdonalds Parking lot. When they met, Amerie sang for Harrison on the spot. She knew that she was in the presence of a well known producer and decided she wasn’t going to waste the opportunity presented to her.
She’s happily married with kids & doing well. Just because celebrities move away from the spot light doesn’t mean they have failed
Just making it makes you a success
she has failed. jlo and beyonce ripped her off.
@@miguelmejia4656 not really she has two new albums and shes an author of a best selling book and currently she's working on a new album probably 2 more soon . #4ammulholland + #after4am

She just shot her side dude in the head what do you have to say now
I always liked Amerie. She was talented, intelligent and classy. I'm sure she's doing well whatever her pursuits.
I TOTALLY AGREE I HOPE THAT SHE COMES OUT...WITH MORE 🎵....!!!
I always liked Amerie too.
She should have been a BOND GIRL!!!!
She has a youtube channel now and she is an author. Amerie also did a cover of Destiny's child's lose my breath with Rihanna and Teairra Mari during the 2005 World Music Awards: ua-cam.com/video/8Ovxedlqavo/v-deo.html Amerie could have started a Destiny's Child Part 2.
simone hardy God knows a Protecting her from the industry
I'm so glad Amerie leaked her song before Jlo could get to it. I like Jlo but it seems as if you always hear about her trying to steal other people's songs(Ashanti for example).
Plus jlo wouldn't had killed it like my girl did she brought that fire and some sexy classiness Im glad she leaked it too I still bump this one thing today and years to come
I would not have known that JLo wanted 1thing if not 4 this video but I do know she can not sing & Amerie killed I still rock it it’s fire! Not a fan of JLo singing anyway because she can’t

The record industry is horrible. These labels, it is almost better to be independent
But how do u become Independent though i’d like to know though?
@@glitterboxglitterbox1939 independent is just getting your own everything....band, publisher, manager, recording, music video ideas, etc. you create your own team therefore you don’t have to depend on a record label controlling everything you do as an artist.
@@glitterboxglitterbox1939 it’s a lot of work in the beginning but once you have a solid team it becomes easier. People like chance the rapper have been very successful being independent.
@@TeniqueSpeaks Other than Chance, who else?
@@dashhill443 There’s a lot actually. Rappers are becoming wiser about this. So far I know of...Rapsody, T.I., Gucci Mane, Kanye West, Childish Gambino, Jay Z, J Cole, etc.
These labels are shady af....
Jaquer Wright said so
"Industry rule #4080, record company people are shady."
Q-Tip of A Tribe Called Quest on the song Check The Rhime.
@@a.m.m.4592 Classic
It’s about selling records by any means necessary.
1. She made it clear from the start that she didn't want to be the "pass around girl".
2. She's not just street smart. She's book smart and it shows.
3. She wouldn't over pay for favors with money or other.
4. She made enemies by having standards, and making decisions for her career against the wishes of the record company. Although it worked for her and the company, the desire to control slaves, breeds petty masters. She made it clear she wasn't the one.
5. She just didn't desire the life enough to sell her soul. She has other talents and interests.
leeluv96 🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯💯💯💯💯💯💯
absolutely!
A role model for all womem!!
She is definitely my daughter
There
She didn’t want to sacrifice her soul for money so I hope she’s living a prosperous life god bless. Money is lovely but sometimes these devil dealings need to stop.
I think a better reason is that she couldn’t really sing or dance and her music got boring. Can y’all stop suggesting everyone who has made it huge did do by bring dirty?
@@CHEETAH69 thats the deal in the industry.. Wake up!
@@cherryhaze4176 cut the bs. Some people just don’t have it. Y’all listened to the same narrative that I did. Nothing in this story suggested Amerie was even in a position to compromise her morals in order to make it. Her producers gave her sound to other, bigger artists. It happens.
@Rosegold Banks Mary has timeless music and relied on a style of music that didn’t require all the theatrics. Amerie was a pretty girl who came along when pretty girls had to either be able to sing or dance. Beyoncé has cornered that market. And if you couldn’t compete with her in that lane, you didn’t stand a chance.
@Rosegold Banks I agree. and if Amerie could create timeless music, we wouldn’t be in here making excuses as to why she never made it big.
❤️ I’ve learned that today if you like a certain artist that you have to follow their career on your own, because real musicians make music with or without the media. I don’t know if he mentioned that Amerie wrote and produced her last two EPs, while publishing books. That is called passion.
She should have just done what Mya did and went independent.
Mya hasn't been mainstream for over 10 years and I've purchased every one of her independent albums
💪🏾💯🙏🏾
So true
If Amerie never does anything else in music and walks away from the industry-the fact that she gave us 1 Thing, Talkin to Me & Why Don’t We Fall in Love are enough for me! Classics that are on repeat on my playlist 15+ years later😎
I've always liked Amerie. One thing will always be a favorite.
She is still one my favorites the first two albums was everything about my child/teen yrs
Faxx
Hell yeah all I have and touch
That first one is still on rotation
Demure Darling both! 🗣
One thing...anthem that still gets played
Amerie is incredible. Its messed up that she didn't become as big as she could have been. Her first two albums are amazing!
I know right
She had the best legs in the game
"Have" ☺️
She does. They're well proportioned.
To this day!!
@@Caribbean_King big facts
FACTS
Amerie was more relatable than Beyoncé, she was very intelligent and articulated herself very well!
👌🏾
True
Why do we always have to mention Beyoncé? They’re great in their own right
@@CombatWychi Because Beyonce lives rent free in their heads 24/7. Notice how they never mention J Lo, the number one industry thief.
@Motown Gayes There's a difference between being intelligent vs cutthroat! Artists like Beyonce and JLo are very strategic, sneaky, and ruthless in this music industry, whereas Amerie is more pure hearted but definitely intelligent. She just wasn't ready to stab anyone in the back to make it a.k.a she didn't sell her soul
Amerie paved the way for all of the cassies,rihanna,jhene aiko,Christina milian,tinashe etc..i love her
I agree with everything you said except one thing. Christina Milian was famous before Amerie out. She was on Ja Rule single Between Me & You in '99. Irv Gotti want to make her the First Lady of Murder Inc before Ashanti.
@@danieljacobisdannyfortune8196 good information.thank u☺️
Christina debut album 2001, Jhene Aiko 2002 just like Amerie.
@@danieljacobisdannyfortune8196 actually the joint she did with Ja came out in 2000
Absolutely she did!
I felt like she was slept on. I wondered what happened to her. The industry is messy.
She’s underrated I loooove Amerie!!! We need her bck💯💯
She still makes music! ❤️
Rolling down my Face is literally one of the best songs created
Yesss....and that INTRO!!! I always start it over about 2 or 3x LoL
Those horns can melt your face off!!
What about the song she did called Falling?
James Jackson I love that one
The favorite of all time..classic..timeless and priceless
The go-go sound is a local treasure to some in the DMV and an acquired test, I lived in DC and Lorton for some yrs and always will love my go-go music. That song was a hit because of that fusion but she had some other great hits.There was a saturation of female artist at the time but I really think she could have went far.
Amerie was definitely dope. I grew up in NC but we love that go go sound down here too. I'm all about Chuck Brown and Rare Essence.
Born and raised in DC, I live in Miami now but she repped for DC 💯
@@pipermarie8393 she just went to college there she is from Anchorage Alaska her and her sister Angela
DMV native! When this song was released I felt like we were on the map. Definitely a huge hit in va
I couldn't stand go go music when I lived in Maryland! Bunch of hollering nd various instruments strung together sounding like pots nd pans!!!! Jus a bunch of irrelevant noise!!!
I never even knew she came out with a 3rd album. The music industry is shady AF. They pushed Beyoncé and put her on the back burner.
ALL KINDS OF FACTS STATED!!!
she has 4 albums
Third album bangs
Amerie should have been Beyonce now.
EXACTLY
Touch Was GROUNDBREAKING When It Came Out. Beyonce Definitely Took Her Vibe...
That was my favorite album
@Motown Gayes you're right Beyonce was out first, but Amerie's sound "GoGo" wasn't mainstream..... Amerie made that sound mainstream.... After the song "One Thing" came out most or all singers had that "GoGo" sound on at least a couple of their songs
@@nerdguru86 Chuck Brown was before Ameri.
@@Alexandrias.Washington you're right..I was just sayin
Glad Amerie did 1 Thing.......
She's from DC it was only right someone who knows DC's culture pushes Go-Go
She's from Alaska I went to high school with her she just went to George Town in college
wow that beat is gogo...Im from Bk. We just thought that beat was tough...but wow that is gogo. Sht is dope.
@@LEGIONOFKNICKSPODCAST Yes, definitely go-go. I was glad to see that go-go beat backing her vocals! Been in go-go land forever so it was great to see that collab.
She only went to Georgetown University she is NOT a dmv native
@@nekidajones.2278 I was in the Army serving in South Korea at the time her first album came out. There were rumors that her dad was Army. Is there any truth to that?
This my baby. My favorite rnb singer and writer of all time. Period
She’s definitely gorgeous.
Ty silents what’s your favorite song by her of all time?
Of all time tho?
Matt A yes of all time. I said dat.
@@LinebaKKer we’re allowed to have preferences, a lot of us have that 1 specific artist that moves us more then anyone else can! As good as Amerie is & especially that first album🔥🔥🔥 she’s deserving of that type of love!!
I was just bumping her song 🤣 be talking talking talking talking talking too me 🤣
Try Amerie- Falling
That’s my favorite song by her. She got that voice. I’ve bought every cd she put out. She’s my favorite rnb singer of all time.
Yup that song is still a Bop! 💪🏽😏
I love that song
Now thats my favorite one💯💯💯💯
😊💕
I'm glad you talked about her 3rd album "Because I Love It". That album had rock, funk, pop, 80's synth etc. It was such an advanced sound for the time. It's a shame that you can't listen to this album in the US to this day thanks to label shenanigans. How do you let an artist complete an album and never release it in the States? Not even for streaming?!
To this day I wonder if Matthew Knowles had anything to do with Columbia Records treating Amerie the way they did.
He probably did because was determined to make his babygirl a star by any means necessary. He did that so he could capitalize off of her financially. He was getting the most out of every deal he secured for her. When she realized this she eventually fired him as a manager. By then she was gone and Sasha Fierce had taken over her soul.
Yes 3rd album. OMG 'Paint me Over' is beautiful. I am in the U.K.
They were afraid of Amerie. She is pretty and she can actually sing and dance too. I bet she can act if she wanted to.
She’s gorgeous and I’ve always thought she was so talented and I can’t stand jlo stealing ass
Her "Touch" album is 🔥🔥🔥 ..No skips on it
People like JLo and Beyonce stole her whole look and sound
Fax
Can we appreciate Amerie’s craft instead of bringing those 2 up?
@@CombatWychi what's the title of the video???
My comment is the answer
She’s nothing on Bey level. Nothing
Actually, Beyonce didn't steal her sound or style. Rich Harrison was the mastermind behind the style and sound. And he sold it to the highest bidder. Nothing personal, just how business works.
That "One thing" song will Forever be in my heart yo! 2005!!!!
Maaaan, I STILL bump Amerie as if it was the 2000s. She is the soundtrack of my 30s. I follow her on UA-cam and Spotify. Her label did her dirty. I wish her nothing but the best.
She is beautiful, she is smart, and had a back up plan. If she ever returns I will support her to the moon.❤️❤️❤️
Me too
in love & war is underrated. touch is my favorite album. she’s also working on a new album!!! I CANT WAIT.
I I liked "All I have" and "Because I love it" albums. Particularly All I have. To me that album is incredibly soulful whereas Because I love it was an album that's balanced to me. Amerie got a smooth and firey voice!
"All I have" & "Touch" my favorite albums.
Good comment.
Amerie is more talented and better looking than Beyoncé, change my mind.
Thank you for doing Amerie! I still love her so much her voice is still very unique.
They're reaping what they've sown. People aren't feeling the stars anymore. I haven't watched TV in ages, haven't been to the movies since 1998, haven't bought a DVD or CD since the 90s. Hollywood and sports is finished..
definitely too much fucking politics.
I’ve always loved Amerie’s sound and I still do. So disheartened her career didn’t peak as greatly as I hoped it would. It’s sad when the music industry negatively impacts an artist’s career.
JLO stayed stealing songs. Get right sounds like Usher's caught up
Exactlyy
Ooooh it doessssss
Same producer
Amerie's career was sabotaged by the music industry. She and Beyonce were too much alike and money bought Beyonce's fame. Back in the early 2000s there were many new artists whose careers were destroyed because they were too similar to an existing hitmaker. Tommy Matola launched Tarrayln Ramsey's debut single "Up Against All Odds" but she sound too much like Whitney so they killed her career. Amerie went down because of Beyonce. Neyo suffered because of Usher. Tank suffered because of Tyrese and on and on and on... It's crazy how things worked out for some...
you sound liek a victim
@@juanshaftpatel7488 I'm going to need you to elaborate because the original commenter is not even talking about themselves they're talking about other people so..... This video is about the music industry and its artists, not about black lives matter honey, give it a rest😒
That comparison is so dumb because they are both extremely talented and true artists on their own right and it's unfair to both ladies but more so to Amerie. AND they couldn't be more different in terms of voice, style, charisma, journey etc. But since you wanna play that game and that I got time today!!! Beyonce had sold millions of records, toured the world (stadiums) , had number one songs and grammies (when they meant something) with Destiny's Child and by herself before Amerie released her most popular song , to date - "One Thing", that peaked at number #9 in 2005. Hence the reason why Amerie actually paid a tribute to DC:
ua-cam.com/video/8Ovxedlqavo/v-deo.html
Amerie had everything but a long term vision and the team that would help her execute this project AKA release hits after hits, become mainstream, iconic but also current. Also I personally think that when husbands or boyfriends manage their significant others they doom their artist. I've always hated the fact that her now husband was (is?)her manager cause he's not a good one and she would have known if feelings were not involved... HE helped sabotage Amerie because again he sucks same for her record label. Amerie was never meant to perform in unknown clubs EVER! and this makes me mad asf lolol! This guy literally crushed a diamond. Even Beyonce released herself from her dad at some point and became even more successful as a result. Nobody sabotaged her but her own camp but she's supposed to be the captain of her ship too so that's on her as well.
@Clockwork
Beyonce was *placed* there because Aaliyah refused the offer.
@@kellym.6777
Kelly, The *machine* is Beyonce marketing power. The *machine* can make anyone it wants famous. To the point it can even lie about sales.
Money is nothing to the *machine* Its sole purpose is to control the perception of the consumer, which it has done flawlessly.
Example: The Beehive phenomenon
Still Love Amerie, that was a smart move pushing her music out before Jlo. Her first two Album was excellent.
She was one of my first childhood crushes..beautiful inside and out with dope organic music. I didn’t know she leaked “1 thing”, that song was everywhere in 2005, so props to her. I’m not surprised about J. Lo trying to block that release as she is known for taking more talented artist’s work and passing it off as her own (ie Ashanti). I feel she could’ve had a Rihanna type career.
Before he even said it I thought J. Lo’s “Get Right” sounded a lot like “1Thing.” I always assumed that was the sound she was trying to recreate. Crazy how labels and producers can sabotage their own artists. She had a unique sound and they sold it off and on top of that didn’t promote her album. Why wouldn’t you debut her album in the US? 🤨 She’s an American artist and the US is the largest market.
Because she's basically black.
People like Brandy, Monica, Mya they've all sold more outside the US. America doesn't like black artists
Beyonce took her sound
And JLO
Beyoncé steals a lot
I used to think she was part of destiny child when I was a kid😂
No she didn't.
JasDoll ! Your wrong
Love her extremely underrated, she was different, this one thing beat was on point.
As a person who not only grew up in NC but also MD in the DMV I know all about GoGo and like many have said that is her signature song “1 Thing”!!! And I love how her being from up north made it that much more genuine. Introduced a whole new sound to people who never knew about GoGo. Only other singer I can think of that made a GoGo track is Chris Brown. I’ll always love Amerie. Her second album “Touch” stays on my playlist!
Smh. F...ing ridiculous how a record label can sabotage their own artist
But not surprising
@Now What My label dropped me and my singing group which I would prefer over just sabotaging my career
Go look at RCA.. They've done it to multiple artists on their books
@NATsoHIGH ! I call that hustling backwards. Why invest that money in an artist only to shelve and sabotage them. I remember that happened to K Michelle
@@PharaohLawLess1 RCA did it to Brandy, Britney, Normani and are currently doing it to Little Mix
I still bump her music. Her arrangement on her albums are just so good.
Amerie gave birth to Beyonce's "GoGo" type style of music.
For real for real!
And you wonder why competition is there really
And when I say there I mean the music industry
She didn't, rich Harrison has
@@kinghiggins5021 bruh she didn't invent nothing, she sang, the sound is made by rich Harrison
Beyonce’s “Crazy in Love” reminds me of Amerie’s “One Thing”.
There is a UA-cam video of the Crazy In Love lyrics combined with the 1 Thing beat. I loooooved it so you’re right. The song sounded like it could’ve been a real banger!
Because they are both by the same producer
Yeah because she stole her sound
@Erica Tomas not. At. All.... 🤣
It's by the same producer just like on Beyonce's Bday album the song "Green Light" Mimicked Amerie's whole style.
She’s doing fine! She has a channel of her own reviewing books.
I Love Amerie. No one could ever steal her sound it’s her alone. I still play her album today..
Me: Alright, time to close UA-cam and get back to work.
UA-cam: "What happened to Amerie?"
Me: *Sh*t*
Thats What You Are and Just died In Your Arms are some underrated classics of hers....miss her music....as far as Beyonce, I always felt like the Bday album sounded like songs Amerie would sing.
Mann they did her bad. The success of TOUCH should've solidified her. Instead they drop her following album I'm the UK??? I THINK WE ALL KNOW WHO DID WHAT TO SLOW HER DOOWN LIKE THEY DID.
Exactly. Thank you for realizing this.
She is still in heavy rotation. 1st album, touch love and war and the latest 2 shes done are out of this world!!!! Rich is a super dope producer! The entire Touch album is fire. Only track i didn't like was the title track lol, never liked the song touch.
I didn't like that song either. It was just OK to me. Nothing special about it, but the rest of the album was really good though
she seems like a really good person. good guys finish last.
Yup this includes good girls as well.
ONE THING is one of the BEST music videos of ALL TIMES!!!
“I be hatin’ hatin’ hatin’ hatin’ on you you you!!!” I fell in love my boyfriend (now ex-husband) during the time All I have album came out and this was our love soundtrack! 😍🥰 Our fave song on that album was “I just died in you arms tonight...” even tho over 10 years and 4 kids later, I still love this album and I cherish the memories we made off this album.
I’m really digging this channel and your clean, clear assessment of music, the industry, and trends. Thank you
Amerie was always educated so she had something that was hers without music. Not everyone needs to stay in the spotlight to have a fulfilled life. She was one of my favorite artists. Still love her. Her music is timeless and not gimmicky. The music producers are greedy and believe in money over talent. I’m happy to see her flourishing and writing.
When you hear about songs that were supposed to go other artists, it’s like thank God. Some things are meant for other people. Amerie curveballed Jlo; good.
Kourtney kardashian is her twin
Yep 👍🏾
Sad but true
She is a kourtney/Moniece mix
I love Amerie ❤️ a musical genius 💯
Me too
Beyonce song Green light is the replica of One thing. That was beef, not crazy in love.
jay clarke going to listen to green light
I loved her entire album! A true talent- fan for life!!
Why in a way Amerie reminds me of Kourtney Kardashian🤔
Yes, she does 👍🏾 I been was saying that
YESSS said same!
eww no!
Yes she does!
Man I personally played why can't we fall in love out!!! 👌😍🤣
💯💯💯
I had the hugest crush on her & Mya growing up 😩
Starting not to like Jlo culture vulture 🤬
Starting? She been doing this for decades.
@@stayflyking Yeah but let's not act as though because she's a "sexy La-Teeena" that people wasn't covering it up. Especially the black males of the industry who allow every and anybody into our culture.
@@ChristinaLibra Hold up. I may be inclined to agree with you with those men in the "industry" but women pushed Jlo way more than men ever could. You honestly think men bought Jlo's albums? Or supported her movies? yeah right.
@@stayflyking What black women artist have songs or movies with Jlo?? She already had the help of her Hispanic community, plus the white community supported her because she's a "white La-teena woman" so that's her fan base. With the help of the black male hip hop community these things launched her career. Bw had nothing to do with that 😂.
I’ve never liked her.
I used to get picked on by family members for being petite when I was a kid/teenager but Amarie, Aaliyah and a few other artists would make me feel like i was bomb. Now my daughter is also petite like I was but I'll be damn if I allow anyone make her feel less than.
Okay Sis. Me Too. We Will Always Be In Style😘😘💋
Same! I was skinny and didn't have the typical black woman build. Booty was round but not BIG, lol. Amerie made me feel beautiful and sexy just the way I was. As did Aaliyah.
@@cmapit3220 The thing is, I'm what one may call "slim thick" and the people who made me feel like ish back then look like 52 gallon trash bags now. So yeah....
@@Onyxmoon89 😂😂😂 omg not 52 gallon trash bags
Nobody stole anyone’s style. It’s the producer’s sound/style that he shared with many artists. That’s how producers make money. The producer creates tracks for a lot of artist. That’s why you hear so many similar artist coming out because they are all using the same producers. Give new producers a chance to help give you a new sound✊🏽
Don’t sleep on the in love and war album it’s solid, amerie collaborated with Rich to make her signature go-go sound and it’s still very present In her third and four album. She just developed in to a more alternative sound. I know her last two albums had poor sales but that doesn’t discredit the quality music in those two last projects.
Amerie is one of my all time favorite artist. I have every last one of her CD's, even Because I Love It, which took FOREVER to get to the US but I got it. That one was her BEST CD yet. She is so talented but so underrated.
She is I m a guy I remember when her one thing came out was dope the internet always thinks that U fell off cause you’re not big in the spotlight I mean look at kelis this industry is a dark place 🇬🇧 blessings from London
She is beautiful & classy.
You can find her on UA-cam, she has a book club/lifestyle channel!
Ameerie has her own sound and totally different she's bad and natural. Beyonce had nothing on her voice.
Dayuuuuumn, the way you connect the dots. Very insightful. The music industry is a dirty business. I'm glad she's doing good & exploring her other talents.
I LOVE Amerie so much. Good God she absolutely GORGEOUS! 😍😍😍😍
She is even more beautiful now! Wow.
Amerie is still around!She is more about doing interviews and reviewing books right now then just music right now.
"One Thing" is one of those songs...! I remember exactly where I was and how it made me feel the first time I heard it. That doesn't happen to often but, like I said...one of those songs! I'll always love it.
She was one of my favorite artists from 2000-2004.
Really glad to get this update. She sounds like a hard working lass with her head screwed on tight. She may well be the reason I sign up for Spotify now. Her songs are so uplifting. Beautiful.
It's ashame that alot of people stole her songs and style
Thank you Ali..hip hop Forever!!
ONE THING IS MY EVERYDAY DRIVE TO WORK SONG!
One of my favorite and one of the most underutilized artists of her time!!! Thanks for this vid bro
Jennifer stole from so many artists, it's unbelievable.
Because I Love it - is a great Album Still have it !
They was dating.... They broke up b4 Her 3rd album.. he was hooking her up.. and she also got mad at Rich for winning a Grammy with " Crazy in Love/Beyonce"... ( inside DC/GoGo Information)
Dayuuum. I didn't know that. Sad.
I didn't know that either. Mixing business with pleasure usually doesn't turn out well in the end
When I first heard One Thing, I listen to that song over and over and over and over… I couldn’t stop! I still love it!
Always love Amerie still listen to her songs especially on a Friday night after the work week is finished. Beyonce was pushed into the spotlight and other artists got neglected even Ashanti whose a better singer than Beyonce.
Good to know Amerie is still doing good and still looks so classy.
@Motown Gayes My support is for Ashanti and that still stands. Your attack is stupid and juvenile
Ashanti can not sing better sorry and I am not a fan of bey
2022 and I still love n listen to Amerie. Just because she didnt become "the biggest star" I dont see her as a failure and neither do many other ppl. She got out without a bad reputation, without becoming self destructive, she did it on her own terms. She found a good man, is loved by him n her family, is a good mom and still on social media showing us shes a peace and in touch with her fans who love her til the end.
Oh and shes a bookreader! I LOVE THAT!
Not a thing Chic doing what she always done and that stay out of everyone's way... Yeah she's Smart
Love this Queen...
Amerie had the beeeest summer time jams !!! Fall in love will always be a summer love classic to me .
Obviously some of y’all weren’t raised from the 90’s, early 2000’s to know what happened-When Amerie came into the scene, she brought a new sound to R&B, the Go-Go sound, which was native to DMV area. Beyoncé and JLo “stole” her sound and catapulted their careers while Amerie was kinda pushed back...but ppl also have to realize Beyoncé and JLo had heavy hitters behind them. Beyoncé had Teresa LaBarbera White behind her while JLo had Tommy Mottola...hence the Mariah beef.
@Motown Gayes Argue with logic and intelligence, love
We're gonna need a what happened to Teedra Moses sir! As a life long hip hop and rap head she became my favourite artist for years and Complex Simplicity is in my top 10 albums. Your work the fantastic and highly appreciated. This video made me get up out of bed, grab my headphones and take a walk listening to Amerie's discography just after midnight. Thank you boss
I love her voice ❤️
Love your vids sir. Ever thought about doing a Philly Most Wanted video or Smilez and Southstar?? Always wondered what happened to those guys.
