    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.

      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...

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...

    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.
