I did a music documentary on R&B/pop singer and songwriter Amerie. I thought this video was long overdue, considering that Amerie and her music producer, Rich Harrison, made an impressive mark in music in circa 2005. Amerie and Rich reintroduced DC's go-go music to the mainstream pop world.
Amerie's biggest hits include "One Thing", "Why Don't We Fall In Love", "Talkin to Me", "Gotta Work", and "Paradise" ft. Ll Cool J.

The fact she leaked her song One Thing so J-ho couldn’t steal it is so iconic.
Lol
Love your comment.
The fact that SO MANY ARTISTS WANTED THAT SOUND THAT AMERIE INSPIRED IS INSANE!! From Beyoncé to Omarion to JLo to Toni Braxton and I evens found out that she inspired other artists from other countries like Coco Lee…. 😏: ua-cam.com/video/s35V1r7MzEo/v-deo.html
lmao fr!
I know right, J-ho was a thief, not surprised to hear all the corruption that went behind the scenes, stealing other artists song
How could anyone dislike, "One Thing?" That's one of Amerie's best songs .
They didn't dislike it; they was trying to give it to Jlo.
Sweets205 j lo would have messed it up
@april lee - bingo.
Jlo would have ruined it
They wanted to give her song to another artist. So what they do is tell you it isn't good and if you agree they take it from you and give it to the artist that sucks cock. Not that I am accussing any artist of sucking cock but after Harvey, it seems obvious to me that when a talented artist drops off the map, it certainly has to do with Cock sucking.
Amerie is so criminally underrated along with Ashanti & Keri Hilson
200% agreed, bro
And mya
Christina Milian too
KERI. HILSON. IS. QUEEN
I don’t think Ashanti is underrated.
Her record company wouldn't promote One Thing because they were trying to slip it to JLo. Good for you Amerie that you pushed it out there before they could backstab you.
Plastic54 3 and if I’m not mistaken Get Right was Ushers song. I think there’s a version floating around on UA-cam somewhere
The music industry is evil
@Yay510 That’s why she keeps the original singer vocals on her songs are you new here? 😂😂😂
Wow the industry did this girl dirty.
Zee P Shure Did they need to bring her back and see what Bey does then
Zee P Exactly! The industry did it. Idk why people are blaming Beyoncé.
Zee P I love you
Zee P Pac said it best ths industry is like a crap game💯💯
sooo dirty!
Damn so she basically influenced the R&B sound of the early mid 2000’s
Mr.Jefferson AND MID 2000s. Touch and 1 Thing came out around 2005. If my memories serve me correctly. I remember Beyoncé B’Day came out in 2006. I am so hurt. Beyoncé’s best album in my honest personal opinion to date was inspired by Amerie??? Wow.
I forgot to say BESIDES LEMONADE 🍋
Wow
Naveen J. 4 was a great album
Her and Teedra Moses
Amerie's -One thing.. from a producers stand point was a masterpiece.
It sure was...I absolutely love, love that song still to this day!!👏👏👍👍💖💖😍😍😊😊😉😉💯💯 💯
DarkSagan yes yes
Growing up in the DMV you’d hear GoGo versions of R&B way before she came out. I was glad to hear it going worldwide when she came out and when Beyoncé took the sound.
That song is damn near perfect
Amerie: Just One Thing
I sing my own songs. MIC DROP 🎤🎤🎤
In other words, THEY JACKED HER FLOW AND STYLE 😩
gotta put these producers on lock and key and exclusive deals nowadays they shady
Exactly!!!!
So basically artists stole Amerie's signature sound. Her producer Rich Harrison and her label was helping them do it. That's why she wasn't huge. Her sound was what made her stand out from the rest.
Joshua McDowell Yeah they got payed off.Money over everything and any body smdh.
Rumor has it Crazy in love was supposed to be for Amerie but Matthew Knowels pushed hard for Rich to give the song to bey instead
yup they were just using her.
"1 thing" was my jam!!
Aubrey D I still bump that jam
mines too loved that song.
Aubrey D me too
Aubrey D Beyoncé song green light reminds me of one thing
Nechelle Nalayah 1 thing is a rip off "Crazy in love". Which came out 2yrs before 1 thing.
Bey caught everyone's attention.
But there was something about Amerie that was so down to earth, accessible and alluring that she immediately caught and held my attention. "This one thing" sounded so different and out there. It has a rock/ funk/ go go/ European sound that grabbed hold of your body and you were thumping to it before even you realised it. She was unique. A standout from the typical Factory produced tired and worn out stuff out there. I was riveted and I wish she would make an appearance with new material.
Keith Bell put perfectly! Amerie was accessible in a way that you felt close to her.
She only had 1 hit song in Europe, 1 Thing. No one heard about her here after this song.
@Blair Waldorf How? You don't even know what are you talking about.
@Blair Waldorf I'm 27, and You don't said any facts, you just say all the bullsh*t that all haters says. You hating on someone for no reason.
@@shesslucky exactly the way Aaliyah was 🥺
I love how the studio executives were like, "Not sure if this song is going to work," but Amerie knew the deal, and look at how MASSIVE a hit "One Thing" is.
Man, she was robbed! She was a real, genuine artist.( Jlo sucks!)
You damn right she does
JLo can most definitely dance and had male appeal
I agree
So does Beyonce Jlo is not the only one who took her style of singing
And BEYONCE.
most of J-Lo's hit singles were stolen from other artists, and she tried to steal 1 thing too? It's really sad.
she did?! i didn't even know that
Vincent van T Most of the songs On the 6 was stolen from Mariah Carey. That is why they have a feud
And why dont anyone talk about Jlos copy cat ASS. Folks really act like that bitch is original...saying that Beyonce stole from her...shit it might be true, but Jlo steal more than anybody From EVERYBODY. Old and new.
P. Diddy stole Chante Moore's song as J Lo's first song too!
Yup..and jlo took I'm real from Mariah too. I believe Mariah version is on the glitter soundtrack
Hands down one of the prettiest women on this Earth. Love her look!
Agreed. People say she looks like Khloe Kardashian....yeah, she wishes. Amerie is absolutely gorgeous naturally, and I can't explain it, I am in such awe of her when I watch her perform. I love how she has said in interviews that her being so skinny is not what makes her pretty, especially as beauty standards change. Her body type works for her, yet there are women built differently that are also beautiful
Shes' beautiful.
Also she is very stylish
Yes she is, and she still looks the same.
@@katiewinchester3757She looks more like Kourtney than Khloe.
That song "Why Don't We Fall In Love" was a classic..
Agreed
Gangster Twilight yes yes
*is
Def the song!!
I still get goose bumps to “I Just Died”.
Can u imagine Amerie and jhene aiko doing a few tracks together.
aLDonPhoto that would be so awesome
OMG yes been thinking on that for real
Hell fuckin yea
@W P and they have two different sounds.
@W P right🤣
I heard her sound in so many artists' music. She deserves her props👏👏
When amerie came out SHE STOPPED ALL R&B SINGERS....when Talking to me and why dont we fall in love came out singers were running to the studio to copy her
I love love love her songs
When Amerie said she wanted heavy on the drums she wasn't kidding around. That percussion is phenomenal and unique, no wonder other artists stoled it.
The "All I Have" album is fire!!!!!! I'm glad she's found some non-traditional ways to still make money! She kept releasing albums! Whew! #resilient Yes! I'll go look up her book/youtube ! Thanks! This was insightful.
facts and “Got to be there” was and still my shit!🔥
It's interesting looking at this now. I was a teen when "One Thing" was out and I thought I was going crazy when I heard "Crazy In Love" and "Get Right" and they both sounded like "One Thing". I loved her sound though. Glad she's moved on from all of the craziness and became independent.
@@cecebear110"Need You Tonight" "Can't Let Go" "Float" So fucking hot...
@@ladylequvia7 Beyonce and J Lo did it more justice due to the dance moves
Yes!
The sad thing is.....Beyonce fans will assume Beyonce was the creator of this sound. Smh...
Kia G. Something is wrong if someone thinks a person created anything alone. I mean shit, y’all probably think amerie is the creator of that sound/style but she clearly referenced the gogo genre and how people used to sing like that in dc or whatever. I’m sure she was inspired by smaller singers when she made songs
There is nothing original about Beyonce, stole others creativity and made it her own.
hobo, she grew up in DC and yes the land of where go-go is from thank Mr Chuck Brown, RIP. However Amerrie was inspired by that music and she created her own sound with that in mind but Beyonce team just took that what she created and made her own. Music companies are evil and don’t care.
Kandi Kane there’s only a few songs of Beyoncé’s that sound similar to ameries, and even then I really wouldn’t call it a copy (except for green light... that was kind of a copy). I don’t think it’s fair to just demonize beyonce because she had been working with ameries producer at the SAME TIME as her, it’s not like bey just stole her producer once she blew up because that guy produced crazy in love I think before ameries hit: one thing came out
Kandi Kane if anyone should be blamed it should be rich, because as a producer YOU bring the sounds, the instrumental and he took this sound that apparently was ameries also and just sold it without her permission
Had no idea that she and Rich were so influential during that period, you could hear it.
Renee Renee very much so!!! 'Why Don't We Fall In Love' is such the official summer love song!!!
I’ve never even heard of Rich and you are right
It's so amazing that I'm listening to all Amerie's song from the late 90's and 2000s and I absolutely love all of em. Her music are so deliciously fresh.
Justice for Amerie! I'm woke now... gonna go listen to her music
SkibopDaSequel exactly!!! We gotta re-buy her albums & keep taking about her. She deserves her props!
I’ve always been her fan from day one
I bought her first two cds
Me too
DAMN!!!!! She was stone the builders refused, but they used her as a stepping stone...
That's right, paraphrase that! Go head, girl! Best comment
I miss her! She doesn't get enough airplay.
Jazzi Hill If you're such a fan buy her music....problem solved.
The Answer If she's aware of the new music then she can easily purchase it. I mean what is she waiting for? A personal invitation? Beyhive doesn't wait to hear Bey. We learn of the new music the purchase it. Why can't all the other girls get the same response? I'll tell you why....they don't know trust Ameriie to put out quality music. That's why.
The Answer Okay....and...? What's your point?😂😂😂😂
you're right!
She had a really unique sound didn't know she had this many hits
they stole her sound Kourtney Kardashian stole her face omg they look alike lmao
Facts 😂😂😂
I am Dead 💀😂😂 😂😂😂 😂😂 😂😂😂 OMG 😭
I'm crying 😭😭😂😂😂😂😭😭😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😭😭
Exactly i'm actualy stuck on the look a like damn you just answered me..... dead😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Beyoncé stole this girl whole flow for one of her albums. Wow. Purposely knocked her off
Beyonce is a snake
cassandra W she sure did I can't stand them (Bey & non singing J Lo 🙄)
She fake ASF
Have you all heard the rumours about Aaliyahs death and Beyonce?
Google it...
They only have one song that sounds similar.
Amerie was my favorite female singer for years. It's crazy she didn't blow as much as she should have. One of the most talented artists the game has ever seen.
I just watched "1 Thing" video by Amerie, then I watched Upgrade video by Beyoncé...all I havet to say is the music industry is a TRIP!!!! You never know what goes on behind the scenes. People are always envying celebrities, looking up to them. Imagine how it feels to watch someone "still" your style and become huge off of what you have started. This is why I will sit over here and take my lil problems I have any day before I want to be in their shoes.
Kametra Loud still=steal
Kametra Loud . lol you are so right my sister.. Let them keep that mess over there like my grandmother would say.. Just walk away. Fast lol
More like the green light video
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
... but didn’t beyonce sample her
Whoa...they stole A LOT of shit from D.C....Salute Amerie for staying loyal to the D.C. area
DMV represent!
DC Represent💯
Her special sound got abused and used in a good way but still stolen , I see now why people leave the industry
Jenny from the block remix
"Don't be fooled by the songs Jenny's got.
She still, she still steals from the block.
She used to steal a little, now she steals a lot.
No matter what she stole, she know where they came from."
PrettyPurpleful 😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂 damn!!
Lmao
PrettyPurpleful 🤣🤣😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The industry did ameriie dirty !
Niara Renee her sophomore album should’ve went platinum. Fans failed her. People buy image, celebrity. So many better female albums than Beyoncé came out in that era and did not sell. Kelis album is great but did reach the sells it should’ve too.
Yall literally every song they played influenced by her sound is my fave by that artist
B-Suga Mama
B-freakum dress
B- Green light
Omarion - just can't let you go
Jlo- get right
Destiny child- lose my breath
OMG OMG OMG
She's so beautiful! I miss her unique sound its ashame everyone started copying.
Roxanna Renea I agree.
Yeah and they did not even pay her fair coins.
Roxanna Renea it happens in all music. Rock, Rap, Jazz, people sometimes are influenced but sometimes they straight up steal.
Jlo is the Hispanic Christopher Columbus.
niccoluss s Jlo is Puerto Rican of course she’s Hispanic why you think Columbus is Spanish from Spain she’s the female version of him
😂😂😂
A Jewish guy pretending to be Italian who made way for all the Jews who were kicked of Spain. No dont see how. Unless u mean by robbing the Indians gold.
Lmaooooo u funny!!😂
niccoluss s 💀💀💀💀
So they stole her sound to drown her out the game...smh!
Kitty Franko she didnt fall off. Its just an end of an era thats all.
No they didn’t steal her sound. Rich Harrison gave it away.
Kitty Franko no that’s completely wrong
Can’t say anybody stole anything Gogo been around. Just like all sounds.. genres been mixing to create new sounds .. but to be honest she would never give justice to those beats like beyonce 🤷🏾♂️
SaintRayon C it’s more then just the Gogo you can hear it the melodies too
Ppl focusing on JLO cuz she has a history of theft but yall not shocked by how much Bey jacked this girls sound? Literally to the T. Insane :(
She still jacking ppl shit. From the dances to the music videos. I was never hyped for her or destiny child. I like they first CD with the original line up. I don't know her personally but she seems shady. Let's not forget her fake ass belly bump folding in half. Everything about her is a lie. I don't how ppl can't see throw her BS
True.
@@Get_BODIED And Beyonce is NOT as original as you all try to make her out to be.
@@Get_BODIED I already commented elsewhere to you, but it seems like Beyonce couldn't be a great teacher, but would be a great student, if that makes sense
@@angelbanks264 word girl. I knew about this beyonfraud since I was in High school like 10 years ago lol she was stealing shakiras style and bellydance vibes for years and ended up making a video beautiful liar together where they looked exactly the same wtf and then shakira's career went to shit right after that.
The same happened with lady gaga she was copying her style and ended up making a music video with her too called telephone and after that ladys gaga career went to shit too.
Wonder if there was no witchcraft involved. Creepy.
Clearly The Dopest & Most Original Female Artist Of Her Time!
BIGG STAN HARRIS Mya
BIGG STAN HARRIS she is I dig her always have
It's great to be inspired by someone. However, to completely copy someone. That just shows that you have no indentity of your own🤔🤔
ladyofwisdom2 J LO ass tried to take one thing and Please BELIEVE they was gon give it to her. Also J LO used Ashanti voice on IM REAL ft Ja Rule. No identity at all!
PREACH!!!
Yes, so low down and dirty. Amarie is a class act. She was sold out, bamboozled and thrown under the damn bus by her peers but she keeps her composure.
As usual, J-Lo and Beyonce were at the front of the line looking to leech of another woman. Makes me infuriated.
Tim Hedgepeth the i'm real was stolen from mariah carey.
@@megamanxhunter you should watch the Ashanti video from this channel. Ashanti is who Jlo stole I'm Real from
We knew this was going on in the 2000's while it was happening but no one cared. We knew Beyonce and JLo were stealing Amerie's sound. It was blatant. Also, Ashanti was in competition too with Amerie, Beyonce, and Jlo. They all were competing but Amerie was the one who had her own revolutionary sound. Amerie reminded me of Aaliyah in the sense that she was progressive and defining music. Notice that the sound of Beyonce music is different now because she no longer has pioneers to steal from. R&B music is nothing like it was because of this.
I agree. Amerie ur the best
You are so right.
Mmmm beyonce sounds doesnt sound the same cause she evolve with ther music, unlike amerie 2014 album sounds the same as her 2002 one and thats boring
Joaquin Castañeda not to me it mostly likely better then sounds today
Mr. McNeil ok boo boo but Ashanti had her own ale revolution sound she did her own writing and singing
Now Beyoncé is talented, no doubt, but I actually loved Amerie first. And now that I’m hearing all the comparison, it’s a lot of stuff that sounds just like an Amerie song. That’s messed up. I feel sorry for Amerie. She had a seemingly great personality, talented and gorgeous. Just others came in and took her fire. The industry is a snake. Smdh
Yeah she stole everything from everyone just like Keri Holliston
@@laqueediawilson783 oh wow!🤦🏽♂️
Jlo is not talented, just lucky all Jlo's first vocals are Ashanti's voice😱
@@abarnes1306 I do think she a good entertainer. But when it comes to singing and her going up against other real singers, she’s at the bottom no doubt.
I loved "One Thing". It's funny how the label was so against it! It was big!
Wasn't it on the Hitch soundtrack?
HUGE HIT!!! THE VIDEO THE SOUND THE ARTIST!!! MEGA HIT SONG!!!AND FOR ME... STILL IS!! I STILL BOP TO IT!! LOVE IT!!
Jordan Bledsoe oh that song was in so many movies and video games also on gta
They knew it was going to be a hit which is why they didn't want her to release it.
So in other words, Beyoncé is one of the reasons why most of these up and coming black female artists never make it far. This was the same for Keri Hilson and plenty others.
Madonna, Britney and Gaga have done the same thing. Yet R&B is a tad different the fact Beyonce was fucking jayz so he most definitely made moves behind the scenes along with her dad to secure her legacy.
#TRUE
Tatenda Madondo stop tranna blame her! If a person doesn't makes it that's their own problem.
diamond9ice the industry does quite work like that. Dreamgirls even hint at it. Beyonce & Rihanna both benefited from the muscle behind the scenes for their careers.
Nope; you either have what it takes or you don't. Look at Mariah, she used to be amazing; now she can't sing, but the legacy she built still carries her on. If the other artists were great enough then they'd still be here but they aren't so suck it up and move on... just like they did.
1 Thing really did shake the table in the music industry. Every once in a rare while an artist or producer comes along and resets the game. That's what 1 Thing did.
People called me crazy when I told them Beyonce was biting off of Amerie.
Biting what exactly?!? Coz it sure ain't her paper thin vocals. Amerie doesn't own gogo's music. That's like Bobby Brown being pressed at Michael Jackson and Janet Jackson for using the new jack swing sound.
@@SteadyNUnremitting Biting the gogo pop music style.
EJah and Chloe Bryant that's not biting, nobody owns gogo music . Music is an open field for everyone to do what they feel. Y'all act like it's for one person only .
Girl bye, Beyonce was not singing gogo style music until Amerie started to gain recognition for it. She seen the reception that Amerie was getting and completely stole the sound, period.
TheHipHopCulture chileee please , Amerie didn't create gogo music. Music is universal . Anyone can use any sound they want . If ppl had to stick to one sound , a lot of our greats would be nonexistent. Cher introduced a new genre of pop that madonna , Britney, and lady Gaga all used as well. So does madonna not deserve her accolades because she heard something she liked and used it in her music? If they wanted to embark on that style of music ,they can, especially since Amerie doesn't own the genre.
i miss the early 2000s music. it was fun and sweet. no twerking like that popping mollies and being a proud side chick anthems.
Yes
Jessica Cannady facts
There was twerking back then, but it wasn't called that. It was gyrating or booty shaking at that time.
Jessica Cannady 💯
Actually there was twurkin in the 70s-2000s let’s not go there! But I know what you mean it was very few female artist doing that unless they was ratchet let’s not name names lol
Jennifer Lopez is a notorious song thief!
Reuben Kamau that industry plant should have stuck to acting tbh. then again, I don’t know her
Yup
Yeah Jlo owes her success to her big 🍑the ass that goes for miles
So is beyonce
Deeply Blue 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣True that
Y'all talking about Beyonce' but J.LO tried to steal her WHOLE SONG! J.lo has stolen songs from Ashanti, Christina Milian, and Usher just to name a few, now THAT'S a bitch you have to watch!
beyondcharmed you are 100% right
beyondcharmed J.Lo also stole a song from Mariah Carey that's why Mariah "doesn't know her"
jhoe is garbage
Ashanti wrote for jlo and sung background
Fiji Flow no for ain't it funny Ashanti sang on that track and it was for her originally but then was taken away from her and sent to JLO, u can her voice on the song
It's scary when you played ameriies music and beyonce's music from b'day back to back like freakum dresses and give it to mama it sounded almost exactly the same as the 1 thing track, that's crazy.
jstratus4 girl please stfu it was the early 2000’s everyone had the same sound & style🙄🙄
10 subscribers with no videos it was the MID 2000s and that wasn’t quite true. 2005 and 2006 are not in the early years of the 2000s decade.
@10 subscribers with no videos you must be a beyonce stan who cant handle anyone saying anything about beyonce. listen with your ears and you can clearly hear the similarities .ameri may not have created that sound of music but she shore as hell made it poppin and every one else followed after ameri. So girl you stfu .
jstratus4 ok then drag other artists and not just Beyoncé y’all some mf haters , goodbye
Naveen J. Yes it really is you sound stupid
Damn... why they do Amerie like that?? I really miss this chick.
Tyrael Mack they do a lot of artist like that....that's why it's best to be independent artist
cause she a wholesome girl
Tyrael Mack you can watch her here on UA-cam. Books beauty ameriie
They don't like someone who thinks for themselves. They want either a dummy who can't think for themselves (ie slave) or someone who is so greedy they will do anything for money (so that they do as the record label tells them at all times). Ameriie is an educated independent minded woman who can't be easily controlled by the recording label company. That's why they make other 'slave' artist steal Ameriie's style.
Bitch!!!!! My mouth is still open, I knew Crazy in love, green light and freekum dress sounded similar to Amerie sound. 😮
When I was super young, I thought One Thing was sung by Beyoncé because of the beat production sounding like Crazy In Love
Crazy in love was actually supposed to be for amerie
I was about 14 at the time and I noticed the same thin too.I was those songs sounds just like my future wife Amerie lol.
Nikki Austin crazy ain’t it!!? I loved me some Amerie!!😍😍
Lol,
Damn when Beyonce went solo she stole her whole style! That's ridiculous
Indeed.
Yea in a really obvious way. Its sad its one thing if you get influenced by a sound but at least acknowledge that you were inspired. Just like Amerie said she brought it from a style of music that was popular from where she was from. Beyonce could have also said she was inspired but literally acted like she started this type of music.
@@suras8984 You are so right.
What about jlo? She stole as well.
@@kujo4388 JHO is a total no singing talent douche bag. Beyonce is not. She is a serious business woman, wife and mother. JHO cannot hold a candle to Beyonce. Beyonce will steal your shit and make it better. JHO will steal your freaking voice and call it her own.
AMERIE is truly a real artist. The uniqueness and originality. Miss her
Even with the footage of Ameriie's photo shoots from years ago you can see how Bey has recently used Ameriie's clothing, makeup & hair styles
NiCole Sky Yessssss
yes down to her clothes... everything beyonce is the biggest copycat in the game
Nevada Troxler yep, thats why people says she is not legendary
NiCole Sky yes I noticed the same thing.
Do one on Teairra Mari. I wanna hear the tea on her downfall and why she didn't make it. And how did the label not like 1thing? That's was a bop
It's gonna sound cliche, but Bey was LITERALLY behind this one! 😂 Everyone was focused on her over Rihanna (because she was the one with actual talent), but when Bey had given feedback on Rih... da label & everyone involved started putting more work into her over Tea!
She didn't make it because she spent too much time on Love & Hip-Hop.. case closed. If she get off that stupid show and actually focus on her music career (or lack there of) instead of drama and beefs, she could do better. Yeah she dropped from Def Jam because Rihanna beat her in releasing a second album, but she has several opportunities to get back on top
Static I wouldn't really say bey was the big reason rih is what she is I think it just makes more sense to just say she was the one who sparked the brain but rihanna had to work to keep herself going. Word on the street is teairra was lazy, too focused on boys and had a terrible attitude (I even hear she was rude to rihanna) and tbqh the way she first stated acting on l&hh actually confirms that she was too focused on the ray j and princess drama.
JLPerryTV well tiearra fell off long before Mona Scott even had a thought of l&HH anything
Ashley Joe she's on LHHH
They were dissatisfied with 'One Thing'?!? HOW?!?!?! That's STILL a jam!
it was just a ploy used by them to get her to give up the song for one of their other leading artist but she fought the good fight and won that battle. Good for her 👏👏👏🙌🙌she wasn't a push over like Ashanti. It's the song she is most famous for and its a classic. Another fav of mine is Gotta Work which was brilliantly produced. She surely made her mark in the industry in a short space of time and deserves recognition for her work.
I really love Beyoncé but she’s done a lot of despicable shot behind the scenes 🤦🏽♀️
Facts
Mannnn... How much is enough.... Gezzzz
I agree!!!!
Tziporah Yisra'El with her fake humble ass.
LovelyMe3 😂😂😂😭😭😭 fr
There goes J-Lo again trying to steal.
Amerie and Kelis, two amazing underrated artist from back then, and still today hard musically talented black woman artist, who arnt in reality tv shows, who are making ACTUAL music independently are still not recognized, and yet youll see big mainstream artist like Rihanna and Beyonce stealing from their work, and because their huge, people believe it was theirs originally when NO it wasnt, sad ...... The music industry pays the media and companies to play only their mainstream artist, thats why you wont hear underground Indie artist on the radio :/
Anton Rubio Rihanna doesn't steal
Don't forget Keri Hilson. Not only is she talented, she is also beautiful.
Amarie's "One thing!" is one of the best songs ever!!!
I was obsessed with talking to me
It sucks how the music industry operates
Yes it does. My son used to be the artist/ talent seeking fame and fortune. I'm so glad he's now in songwriting and production. I'd like to see him get out of the music industry, altogether. I'm relieved he's at least not a pawn and not an artist host for that parasitic industry to feed off of. What a cesspool.
YoungDreezee it's wicked!!!!! I'm glad she didn't sell her soul though & ppl know the original sounds (her & Rich signature)
@@springboard1994 is he on a major label? Do artists have to partake in Satanic rituals?
@@sup3rn0v He was on a smaller label. He didn't get into the big leagues high enough to witness that. I do not doubt it happens. They wanted to change him, they used and I believe passed around a young man that started out with my son; he stayed in the business. That's what they do to these young kids. Now his head is all messed up, he's angry, paranoid, & other things. He lost his way. He has recognition, but at what cost? Hollywood and the music industry need a big, giant enema.
@@springboard1994 wow, that's crazy! Is it possible to reach success without going through that- if someone is a very rare talent? Was it an indie label (ones that is not under an umbrella)? I assumed they where different.
she has that feel good music and sound
Tia Pringley Totally AGREE....
WAS going to type this but here we go...
It takes off all kinds of pressure...
Loved her then and now!
Yes even her youtube is feel goody lol
It's a shame she never got the fame and credit she deserved. She was a good artist with a distinct voice, sound and style. Her producer should have been a little more loyal to her since she was the first to realize his style.
Joe Jones fame ? u mean she didn't sell her soul?? cuz that's what ppl do if they want to blow up
As fans, we are the ones who require them to sell their souls. The fault is ultimately ours.
Joe Jones is thier decision, ultimately
Joe Jones she started her own music label why isn't she more popular then..i have a theory, bcuase she didn't bend over for the big labels
Brandy was mad at DarkChild for the same reason, but at the end of the day money talks
I can't picture anyone else on that "One thing" song other than Amerie, she killed it and I love that song.
It's one thing to copy an artist from another era and get inspiration from them. But to straight up copy another artist from your time (your peer) just shows you have no originality. 😏
Shiquila Say it again! She never written anything she she has sung. She doesn't come up with the video ideas or anything. Her sister Solonge is wayy more creative to me. She is the real artist. I don't see how people worship these celebs and put them on a Godly pedestal when they don't even pay your bills or help you to stay afloat. 😒😒🙄
Natural Fantastic 💯
Conscious Queen i agree abt Solange being more of an "artist" But she bit Tweets style sooo 🤔
Malika Merritt but Tweet was involved with pretty much Salonge whole album, including singing on the background vocals. So I wouldn't consider that stealing @ all, especially when Tweet was hands on & involved with the project & credited.
Solange said she was inspired by Aaliyah. Tweet worked with Aaliyah. So thats why she may sound influenced by her. Solange always gives credit though. Bey and Jay are influenced by every main artist but they come off as entitled.
I'm from Washington, DC! Thanks Impressive for the Great documentary! I wondered what happened to Amerie, such a wonderful talent! Dann these biters still everything!
TARA TALKS steal
TARA TALKS She dissed Beyonce!! That's what happened just like Keri Hilson and Mya... IMO I strongly believe she was too much competition for Beyonce...the same applies to the above mentioned
She has a UA-cam channel called "Books Beauty Ameriie", that's something at least.
Mya dissed who? Beyonce, when???
I actually loved her more than Beyonce. Beyonce is forced down our throats...
Nokss Shilenge yeah I know what you mean.
Nokss Shilenge sigh which really sucks ugh can’t stand Beyoncé’s music anymore
no body forces anything on you. you pay attention because you want to. there's too much content out her for y'all to feel anything is force down your throats.
Nokss Shilenge I agree

Beyoncé is in everyone’s unsung story 😭
Lol Beyoncé is really that girl 💯😭
Beyonce is bad. She s talented but she destroy so many career.
@@bibi-lailaali852 it’s not Beyoncé fault that they don’t have the level of talent like she does!🤷🏾♂️
@@Markpierce2674 lol yes and it's still not her fault for lacking morals, or not applying her own preach right ?😃.
@@mlles3086 how does Beyoncé lack morals and don’t apply her own preach???
Thanks for sharing this story about dope azz, Ameriie. I miss her authentic sound in the music industry and hope she can hit mainstream again. #realmusic
I notice that alot of these old R&B artist career all fell of because of Beyonce. Damn it makes me feel really bad for her.
J-Lo would've fucked up 1 thing, and that isn't a compliment.
Wanitos_Way exactly
Wanitos_Way TRUTH
What??? Maybe there's a reason why Jlo is one of the biggest stars in the world while this girl I've never heard of her..... Jlo has a better voice the that girl and all of Jlos songs are hits
Purplesky your joking right jlo voice is terrible don't lie to us .
Purplesky Ashanti & other artist sang most of J Lo’s hit songs 😂😂😂
I know it’s hard finding out when you loved an artist style & music but truth be told the industry is savage
That's my homegirl right there! Ill never forget the time my friend and I ran into her at a Harris Teeter right outside DC in Ellicott City, Md. She's beautiful
Ameriie is my biological cousin and I was suprised to see all the songs she has on her catalog lol Thanks Empressive !
Lies! 😂
Adrian Wilson There's nothing I need to prove to a YT commentor 😂 ... Have a great day !
I'm just playing with u baby-girl! Have a great day as well 😃
Adrian Wilson Cute 😂👩😎
U are too 😉
Ameriie is now pregnant with her first child
her baby will be beautiful and tlented just like her mom.
Lorenzo Sorrell y’all can dick ride Bey and all but female R&B is meh rn plus we lost so many good songs vibes. Idk I’m not blaming Bey but she’s in all theses unsungs 😭😂😂😂
Awww ♥️✨
It sucks whenever a bigger artist stomps all over newer ones
Rickys. ART A lot of artist does it, beyonce, jayz, p . Diddy, etc. Amerie keep making music from the DC AND VA area.
One Thing is STILL my shit! Amerie and Mya are two of the most underrated female artists out there.
underrated icon 😭😭😭
I love your music documentaries. Very good. Keep up the great work. One of my favorite channels on UA-cam. :)
Sam G Thank you 😊
Beyonce & Jlo are lames alwayz stealing oops I mean inspired..the list goes on with these 2
yes Beyonce stay stealing people shit.
You sound dumb Beyoncé and Jlo are original💯
Why everything gotta be about beyonce 😒😒😒 every time someone didn’t make it you guys blame her.
Sweet Cake lmaooooo no tf they are not
@@janeciamckenzie8206 DID YOU WATCH VIDEO LMAO
She’s so underrated, wish she’d get more recognition than she deserves. She’s beautiful, talented, and a great singer.
That just blew my mind!!!! When you started playing singles from “Touch” I immediately thought of “B’Day”. I still love Bey but that was fowl.
I still bump that "Touch" album like it came out yesterday! Her best work IMO
Yo "All I Have" is such a classic album omg. I mean you can play it no skips!
machinegunkte right I use to fall asleep listening to it dope ass cd
I can’t believe “All I Have” only went gold. The whole album was a banger from beginning to end w/no features. And “why don’t we fall in love” had 2 verses, a chorus, a bridge, & a small instrumental all in under 3 minutes & was a pure classic.
here come Jlo with more thievery... smh
Lol
That was a great documentary. Amerie by far has one of the most distinctive sounds in the industry. Her and Brandy are two of the very few artist who can essentially run amazing riffs like a boss. I wish she could have made it further because she is such a talented vocalist and i would take her music over Beyonce's any day.
C1rcu1tBr34k3r Me To
I miss her style and vocals
During that time Amerie leaked One Thing (love this song ) because J.lo wanted her single (jlo stole many songs, musics , lyrics and VOCALS to many singers)
I cant even imagine Jlo singing that song. Her vocals are no where near strong enough.
JLo is really Ashanti and her ass still can't sing. Sick to acting and having several fiance's
@@suras8984 same cant imagine that ! Amerie is the perfect fit
I loved Amerie the moment I saw her walking down the street in the Why don't we fall in love video. Still do@!!!! Nothing like lovin u is me and my honeys song.
If anyone can remember, it took a long time for Beyonce to learn to dance. Baby Boy, she had no rhythm. Before that, she had that wack ass single for Austin Powers movie and no style without the group. Beyonce first album came out a year after Amerie and she didnt have the sound she has now, she was musically all over the place. Beyonce whole heartedly took this woman swag and ran w/it. I really hate the industry...
Thank you, Beyonce can sing but I've noticed that she is a clumsy dancer. Kelly Rowland was the better dancer in destiny child ... Bey seems like a humble person though, as though the fame hasn't gone too much to her head....
What sort of backward lies is this? 😂😂
Omg yes! I can truly see her studying her moves etc. I don't think Beyoncé was the o ly player but she knew exactly what was going on. The music industry is like being in a shark tank.
When Beyonce first went single, she wasnt that good. I dont think if she had Jay-Z she would be as big
@@Tia-ls3le And then Christina Aguilera released Aint No Other Man and Bey tried to release Deja Vu and overshadow it and failed.
I’m always bumpin Amerie! She’s super talented 💕
Ikr...that's my girl still listening to Amerie. I think her second cd was better than the first.
Amerie is so underrated til this date she is one of my favorite artist.
ameriie is such a nostalgic sound for me, such good memories exploring her music. whats crazy is i found ameriie through korean music
I was just discussing Amerie to some friends over the weekend and wondering why she disappeared.
Thanks for the video! Shes so talented an her sound is def different but when you got CARBON copies stealing your work. You will never get the recognition you deserved 😡
In some ways, Amerie reminds me of Aaliyah.
I know, right? She kinda even looks like her
WontB Quiet I was thinking the same thing
She wouldn't have had the mini career she did without Aaliyah laying the blueprint
WontB Quiet they're both Capricorn's 🐐 gang!
WontB Quiet No
This is why I rather be rich than being famous 💯
