Amerie is exactly where she should be.

Rich Harrison's production carried her for a few years, and the work was cool, but she ain't no superstar. She can't sing for sh*t. So her career was always going to be as limited as it was. This dude Timbaland said, "I would love to work with Amerie, but I kinda want someone that can sing". LOL!! She was trash, but she had production that could help her slide for like one album.

Amerie was more beautiful than Beyonce....


Her and Vivian Green should have had a bigger push.
I'm not saying it pertains to this case, but a lot of times when you see an artist that's huge and then all of a sudden they are gone, more than likely they aint giving up the azz to executives. One of my favorite white girl pop singers Colbie Calliat had platinum albums and platinum singles(in the mp3 and cd buying era). She got engaged to her band mate and it was a wrap. All of that promotion stopped and it was over hahaha. And she still was releasing the same quality of music.

This is exactly what everyone seems to gloss over, the girl CAN'T SING.

People confuse "Liking a Song", with the person actually being able to sing.

I like some Keith Sweat songs, but Keith Can't "Sang"...
Made some nice songs though

They do that a lot now, ignore the talent issue.

I knew Amerie couldn't sing from the single, lol. But I liked the beat, so I was like "f*ck it".

Vivian Green, Mya, and Amerie are probably not the types to sleep with producers for tracks...


I bet Beyoncé Dad was pimping her to those execs

Breh Beyonce even wore the same outfit in her first solo video that Amerie did. She most definitely took her style and her machine as big as it was expanded it. Without that style Dangerously In Love would have been a solo Destiny’s Child album. She named the album after a Destiny’s Child song for crying out loud.
This is not even remotely true and it needs to stop. You can just like Amerie without trying to attach her career to Beyoncè's. It ain't helping her move no units or become any more relevant.

As a matter of fact, you can look at the styling and performances from Amerie in 2005 and see how they were cribbing the Beyoncé formula. Her, Ashanti and couple other girls all of sudden went from girl next door types to glamour puss dancers. Bey sent shockwaves through the system and labels started scrambling.

So Mya must've been fukking for tracks when it's All About Me, Movin' On and Case of the Ex were hits?? Amerie must've sucked Rich Harrison off for One Thing as well, right???

Do ya'll ever think about what you type?? Like bffr

There is a reason why Destiny's Child was not named Destiny's Children. That group always had ONE person that they were going to make a superstar out of and the album titles told us that: Destiny's Child, The Writing's On the Wall, Survivor, and Destiny Fulfilled.

Amerie can BARELY Sing, SMH.

Also Beyonce been out doing music with Destiny's Child since 1998.


Released 2003



Amerie didn't release her song "One Thing" until 2005:



Summer 2002 instumental sound like a more jazzy crazy in love demo even the percussion is the same
the point is Amerie had the sound first


Beyonce before biting from Amerie sounded wack as hell

2002 Beyonce first single that bellyflopped and she had to push her album back a whole year (look it up)

Anyone around at the times knows "Work It Out" was a flop and her album was pushed back as a result. Still doesn't change what's being said. She didn't bite Amerie. They used the same producer.

And then he posts this as if Amerie wasn't dating the A&R at Columbia whom she has been married to for over a decade.
