Amerie should have been where Beyonce is right now smh

[Solo_87]

When has talent ever truly really mattered though? Hell, Aaliyah couldn't sing, but people now swear she was this huge superstar. Rihanna can't sign either.

Amerie was attractive, put out great music that dudes also fukked with, and had an aura about her. However, it wasn't a superstar aura. Her modern-esque New Jack Swing music was great, and gave off like 80s/early 90s feel good music, with a jazzy vibe. She was never going to be Beyonce, but she should have been bigger than she is. All evidence points to the machine not backing her. Hell, she was a hook singer for too long. I think her style is a victim of timing. At that point, R&B was going more Pop, and she was giving a throwback type of music. It was never going to really catch on mainstream. Ironically, I know more dudes that fukk with her album than chicks.

Wouldn't say that

Alicia Keys made her debut just a year prior to Why Dont We Fall In Love dropping

Keys, along with Ashanti, were dominating at the time

Amerie just didn't have "it"

Her albums barely went gold even at the height of her career

I get the hate for Beyoncé’s stans. But I don’t get the hate for Beyoncé. She keeps quiet and sing/dance lol. She stays out of controversies, hardly uses social media, and almost never does interviews. Like I get not liking her music. But where is this extreme hate coming from. And is there’s any proof that Beyoncé. Really be blackballing/sabotaging her female competitors.

nikka Beyonce can't sing either tf are you ever on right now

Beyonce is a master class in fooling people, just like her husband. She just does the equivalent of yelling on them records and people consider it a Whitney level performance. She would not have been a major solo act in the golden era of R&B. They would have heard her sing and said “we already have 3 of you singing backup for Ray Charles”

Man it’s one thing to like this woman’s music, but the hoops nikkas jump through to validate her are ridiculous. She’s already the top star in R&B and has been for 20 years. She does have critically praised projects but come on man, if you can’t see it’s because you don’t want it to be seen.

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".

For like a month I was muttering "find our way home.....find our way home.. in love"

ain't know WHAT she was saying but that shyt sounded hard

“ Terrence Trent D’arby shoulda been where Michael Jackson was”

Terrence Trent D'arby was an elite talent... he just wasn't there mentally. He is a legit Could have Would have Should have
When you watch one of his videos tell me what artist youtube plays next

I wouldn't say Aaliyah nor Amerie couldn't sing. For whatever reason people tend to think people who aren't belters or can't hit high notes can't sing. Singing is one aspect of making music.

Superstardom has nothing to do with talent.

 

[wizworld]

Maybe not the accolades, but purely music wise, she's not too far behind

That shyt you smoking smells funny

 

[FunkDoc1112]

I can't believe y'all are still pumping that bullshyt lie about Beyonce biting One Thing

 

[FunkDoc1112]

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

And Mya was a known industry thot so what the fukk are nikkas even talking about

Wouldn't even waste old bay on you crab nikkas

Or tell jokes.

 

[MooseMouthMthafuga]

That shyt you smoking smells funny

Beyonce's music is lightweight.Y'all acting like she's on some Nina Simone shyt.She just has better marketing & bigger stage shows.

 

[Mac Ten]

You know them personally?

“They’re upstanding mulattos!”

And you say that why? Because Beyonce isn't mixed with anything? Clown shyt

Yall nikkas actually brought the colorism aspect into it

First it was Aaliyah, now its Amerie
