damn seriously? Ameriie came with idea of Go Go sound even in 2003 when she started to do music for her second album meanwhile Beyoncé or Kelly Rowland borrow her sound for their projects (Beyoncé - Crazy in Love, which was even supposed to be made for Ameriie & Kelly's Can't Nobody). Later there was JLo with Get Right, which was also produced by Rich. In late 2004 Amerie finished 1 Thing but label didn't want to release it, so she leaked it on the internet by herself. As label saw the success they wanted to give 1 Thing to JLo, but since it hit UK Radios it would be obvious so they promoted Amerie. Then Touch was released and label didn't promoted other singles as much. Talkin' About does not even have a music video which sucks! Amerie went on tour with Destiny's Child and then Mathew Knowles did his stuff, so later many of the tracks on Beyoncé's B - Day album were produced by Rich. Later Amerie stopped working with Rich, she even did diss track called "Because I Love It" because of stealing her sound and style...after that she was in the shadow of mainstream artists and went independent in 2010...Let's be honest! She would be big if management didn't damage her career, if Rich didn't use HER ideas on other artists and if Label did the right things with her projects....basicaly all of these really hurt her career! I'm still mad when people say that she has no talent or she is not the queen! She most definitely for me is and she should be on much higher level, because first of all - she can sing, her harmonies and riffs are unbelievable and she always deliver something special, not just repeating 3 tones and crappy music like many mainstream artists nowadays...
I remember her looks during this album and her 2007 album being too ahead of their time although leggings have been out in previous decades before. Yes, her stylist(s) were too good during those years.
@@brandonharvey3788 Absolutely, Ultramagnetic MCs (Ced Gee finessed Melvin Bliss' "Synthetic Substitution'' beat. Used to rock to this beat WAY back in the day (before Ultra and Next Plateau records). One of my favorite breaks to this day.
🔥🔥🔥 her songs are timeless! Classic Vocal over a classic hip hop track. This is top tier… her first album still in heavy rotation. She don’t have to come out with another song. Amerie did enough for the people who know what top vocal and production will produce. ❤️
If people like music like this and thinks today music suck and want music like this to come back you have to start supporting music like this and stop listening to crappy music. Its starts with you.
Nix Nightbird There's plenty of amazing stuff post-1990, and post-2000, and even amazing music in 2015. You just have to search a little harder for it - something that shouldn't be too hard considering that thanks to the internet, it's all literally at our fingertips.
Years later I still envy each styled look here 😊 she looks fantastic and nothing dated & cringeworthy (like old photos we look at and say, WHY did l? Lol). Helps heaps to be a total babe though!
I feel like she was before her time. It amazing at the time this song was out, this look was not in what so ever. 5 years later everyone is dressing like this!
I tell you man, people slept on this girl for so long, and now I miss her music like a motherfucker! this is probably one of the dopest songs that I like of hers. This song got a good feel to it.
+airmix08 she has an EP coming out this Friday. I don't know if you listen or watch The Breakfast Club, but she had an interview on the radio station with them today.
"Why R U" was a great song written and composed by a beautiful strong independent female artist like you Amerie who I love very much 💖💗💞😭 got special skills, a great personality, great body, great music, good looks, a great sense of humor, a great mind, a great mother to her own child, a great life and everything so continue doing your thing and keep up the excellent work gorgeous 😍😍😍😍😍
Amerie's music is timeless, her voice is amazing, I still play all her albums like they were released yesterday. This album, Love & War was so underrated & overlooked‼️🎯💯 Amerie was a trendsetter whom many copied, but fell short. She's the true definition of an RnB Rockstar‼️🎯🕊🥳
Am I the only one amazed at the creativity behind the song production and the production of the video? Even though they sampled an old skool hip hop song, the way they did it was dope. And the video is sooooo different. Kudos to Amerie and her crew!
This song is so NOT in line with what Beyoncé and Rihanna put out. Amerie's recent releases has been more to R&B than the current state of R&B. Just waiting for Cymatika and Because I Love It Vol 2
Exactly, and this is a Hip Hop sample (Ultramagnetic MC's). And dang, she's not trying to compete with Beyonce or Rihanna. I wish people would stop bringing them up just to bring them up Amerie is her own artist, and that's the difference. She does her, she's not trying to keep up with anyone.
Amerie is a ridiculously under rated talent and singer...if she had big company backing look out, her range in vocal harmonization as well as content and choice of beats , impeccable to say the least ..always enjoy her songs when I play them and they always sound just as nice as when I first heard them !
If amerie comes back to game there will be more than "just a little competition". Her songs have meaning and integrity...all of them tell a about different stories and amerie is a very talented mirror which reflects the emotions very well. But i can not use this sentence for rihanna or beyonce. If amerie comes back, she will force these 2 to write or find the best songs.... Plus amerie has the talent to be new diva. She is ambitious, she has got voice, she knows how to sing, she knows how to stand on stage....u can not take down her hehe
Her sound was original she wasn’t like any other R&B female artist out there. Once she signed to Def Jam they should have pushed her HARDER!!!! This was around the same time Rihanna’s career was taking off . The in Love and War album was very original IMO. I really enjoyed it !
Definitely one of the better female singers of our time. Her music is deep while she keeps a sexy-classy vibe to her. She doesn't go out of her way to sell sexuality like many other women in the music industry do to create more sales/popularity.
People please Yes Amerie is doing her Thang but please stop comparing Amerie vs Beyonce these are two beautiful and Talented women with two different styles and stop hating on Beyonce because she has always had a lot of attention for her talent and success if you don't like her then don't listen, just don't hate...
We love you Amerieeeee! You still relevant af. Nobody can take your place!
Agreed
Absolutely
💯 I love Amerie I wish she would make a comeback 😢
Period ❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤
Amerie is definitely one of the most UNDER-rated R&B singers out there. She has it all: beauty, voice, dance. She just needs the right support.
Ameriie get your crown back!!!
It never was gone!

Correct ! She set trends and we all know who stole her style
Love me some Amerie, you never lost it, love your music.
@referral madness hating for no reason
Crazy how this is 6 years old but the her fashion in this video is still current!!!
I love her!!
I was literally thinking the same thing and now its 2019. She could still wear everything.
Not in 2020 :D
Flyest everrrrrrr it’s crazy
Now its over 10 yrs and she can still wear this.
@@MsamerieJohnson yep
This song still hits!!! Her fashion is always always on point in her videos!
Who ever styled her for this video is an icon for sure. The clothes are still current.
I remember her looks during this album and her 2007 album being too ahead of their time although leggings have been out in previous decades before. Yes, her stylist(s) were too good during those years.
I said the same thing 😍😍😍😍
YeP straight factz
Amerie we miss your music come back rnb needs u👌
She is so pretty, seriously..And i love her voice...She should come back!
Hell yeah man
She is back, her two albums dropped in 2018, she is mama, RUclipsr and also released Books and EP in 2015 🙂 with Rich Harrison back
She's definitely beautiful eye candy, I can stare at her all day.
She's got everything she needs to become famous. She's what people miss - real music, real talent, real feelings.
Those lyrics, her voice, and this beat-CRAZY!!!!!
Listen to Ego Trippin Ultramagneticmcs
❤❤❤❤❤
There are two female singers that i still adore and wish to come back to the stage
Amerie and JoJo.
Me too
Right!! Lauryn Hill too👌🏾
👍
@@CharB1991 👍
Style was on fleek!! The world need's to see natural beauty again!
she is underrated!
love this song!!!
🎉🎉🎉
I love the beat, gives me an underground hip-hop vibe
Dusky Joce it’s Ultramagnetic MC’s Ego Trippin!!!
@@brandonharvey3788 Absolutely, Ultramagnetic MCs (Ced Gee finessed Melvin Bliss' "Synthetic Substitution'' beat. Used to rock to this beat WAY back in the day (before Ultra and Next Plateau records). One of my favorite breaks to this day.
Its a sampled old hip hop song.
THAT was HER THEME sound from her very first single..always strong hip hop beats
She's so dope.
I'm here for her fashion style 😍😍
How did this song not hit the big charts, amerie needs more recognition, awesome song :)
🔥🔥🔥 her songs are timeless! Classic Vocal over a classic hip hop track. This is top tier… her first album still in heavy rotation. She don’t have to come out with another song. Amerie did enough for the people who know what top vocal and production will produce. ❤️
If people like music like this and thinks today music suck and want music like this to come back you have to start supporting music like this and stop listening to crappy music. Its starts with you.
I be telling people the same exact thing
airilove17 Yeah. I keep saying that about 60s, 70s, and 80s music, but people still listen to the subpar stuff made after 1990 anyway. Oh well.
That's what I keep saying!
Nix Nightbird There's plenty of amazing stuff post-1990, and post-2000, and even amazing music in 2015. You just have to search a little harder for it - something that shouldn't be too hard considering that thanks to the internet, it's all literally at our fingertips.
Jenni is right there is alot of new artist that fill the void.. if you need some baduu or lauren hill fix try listening to Oshun..
Amerie alongside Aaliyah, Selena, Sade, Mya, etc etc will forever be bae 🙌❤
Yesssssss!
Aaliyah and Selena my Queens 👑👑👑👑👑❤️🙏🙏🙏
You right about that!
Fashion is so on point in this video. Whoever styled her did an amazing job, the looks still are hot and I'm watching this in 2015.
+Hunni Taylor So true :)
I thought the same thing when I first seen this video❤️
Dee F LOL! Well you were right. I had to ask the question just in case. Had to make sure I didn't imagine it.
+Hunni Taylor I agree with your comment ! lol
Years later I still envy each styled look here 😊 she looks fantastic and nothing dated & cringeworthy (like old photos we look at and say, WHY did l? Lol).
Helps heaps to be a total babe though!
This stayed number one on 106&park for a long time .. then #2 for a long time
I feel like she was before her time. It amazing at the time this song was out, this look was not in what so ever. 5 years later everyone is dressing like this!
Because she's Black/Korean mix.
I love Amerie. She be jamming
Me too
I miss this music video on MTV I USE HAD A CABLE BUT THIS SONG LOOKS INCREDIBLE
Amerie is my favorite favorite singer in the world.🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️😁😁😁😁😁🌠🌠😁🕊️🕊️
My girl always had the tea and everyone wanted a sip!!!! So underrated.
I will never understand why she fell off. This woman was inundated with Talent
Because of Beyonce
True that not by choice, didn't stand a chance heard if qween bee hadn't got her Jlo was hot on her tail too. Poor kid.
She didn't fall off they knocked her off since she wanted her soul
AMERIE IS A NATURAL BEAUTY STAR !!! SO UNDERRATED !!!
The fashion, visuals, and song are timeless. This is Art ❤
Fashion still hitting after all these years! That beat sick lyrics everything!
Why this women stopped her work is beyond me... she is amazing! Love her voice!
I tell you man, people slept on this girl for so long, and now I miss her music like a motherfucker! this is probably one of the dopest songs that I like of hers. This song got a good feel to it.

+Nesha Britwood really? I'll be on the look out! Thank you for the heads up
you're welcome
You never lie. I think top female artists felt threatened by Amerie. ABSOLUTE TRUTH.
This came out in 2009? Too good for this Era of music.

Yes! Hip hop and R&B needs you to come back to the game!!!
Beautiful shot of her at 2:59 😍😍😍
Amerie we miss you!!! Come back we need you badly
I would totally rock everything she wears in this video now in 2017. The fashion here was ahead of it's time!
That dress!!!! OMG!!!! You gorgeous girl!!!
Best song she's ever made. Those drums are just ridic!
I noticed those drums, too! I love them!
I love her, she's so underrated
what happened Amerie? You are still my favorite i cry too when you dont come out with new songs! God gave you a voice sing it
Whewww my girl is still fire !! I will forever play her music
Now this is good music, good fashion, and good taste. Amerie should be on top right now.
This song is so NOT in line with what Beyoncé and Rihanna put out. Amerie's recent releases has been more to R&B than the current state of R&B. Just waiting for Cymatika and Because I Love It Vol 2

Been down with Amerie since 2002 and All I have and "Why Don't We Fall in Love! Love all of her songs. - Hip Hop Talkx
Such an underrated bop!!!!!
Ugh! shes so freakin gorgeous!!! And i always loved her voice!
Her team really had her makeup and wardrobe on LOCK
We love you Amerie
I love that you are so humble
2019 🔥🔥🔥🔥✔에므리 철러
The hair flip she does at 2:37 is cool. 😄 She's rocking out. 😎
Amerie is a ridiculously under rated talent and singer...if she had big company backing look out, her range in vocal harmonization as well as content and choice of beats , impeccable to say the least ..always enjoy her songs when I play them and they always sound just as nice as when I first heard them !
@2:06 she a whole viiiibe
Why isn't she in the lime light? She's definitely more talented then the main artists presented to us today. Really like her music.
This was DEF my fav song ever growin up UGH so underrated and underappreciated!!!!! LOVE U AMERIE
MAN BEYONCE BIT HER WHOLE STYLE
I remember buying this cd 🤣🤣 Man I loved her back then. She should have been much bigger!
If amerie comes back to game there will be more than "just a little competition".

Don't give up on loving, keep loving, you might get what you desire.
Amerie writes and co-produces all her OWN material.
And she's quite good at it too.
Still the jam!!! I adore her!!!
I like how she can make any situation, a song!
Listening to my throwback jams in 2020. I get older but my music faves stay the same lol
Her outfits were so dope in this video .. love this song still n 2022
Still banging this!!
Such a TRUE TO HERSELF TALENT.. how she moves, how cool and just rough and beautiful all in one i ADORE and will forever stan my fave
Her sound was original she wasn’t like any other R&B female artist out there. Once she signed to Def Jam they should have pushed her HARDER!!!! This was around the same time Rihanna’s career was taking off . The in Love and War album was very original IMO. I really enjoyed it !

I like how the dude is just chill as hell dancing in the background. That's all you need in a video.
My dearest, sweet Amerie
You are my heart,
you always have been.
And you always will be my favorite female artist and my number one.
She's gorgeous! Love everything about this song and video!
Gorgeous‼️
Amerie just.... come back. Best video.My life in a song.Slay the girls.
I don't know what it is about her voice but it has always inspired me
