It's a shame, but that's what happens in the industry. Politics can be something else.

Beyonce is a shady individual. Don't know why people continue to make excuses for her bs.:stopitslime:
keyshia cole? keri hilson? ameriie? rihanna? etc.

Beyonce has enemies out here

Rihanna has never said a bad word about Bey. So I'm not really sure why she was even mentioned.

Keyshia Cole isn't an enemy.

Keri Hilson was a newbie trying to branch out of her song writing and came in the game disrespecting her peers. She did that to herself.

Pretty much everyone in the industry loves Beyonce. All the legends praise her and say how nice she is. So I'm not understanding what enemies she has.

Amerie she have never dropped Touch as a single. She was riding high off 1 thing and Touch was :trash: After that her it seem like she kinda lost her way.

Also Why Dont We should have been longer. I always felt it was too short of song. Why Dont We is a Beautiful song.

I think the people at sony never knew how to push Amerie.

Beyonce wasn't the one pulling the strings. She was the benefited from label politics as many artists do. Ameriie not being bigger has nothing to do with Beyonce. In fact, Beyonce's solo career wasn't even poppin' like that when Ameriie debuted. "Work It Out" produced by The Neptunes (when everything they produced was a hit) flopped. Jay Z's "Bonnie & Clyde" was the biggest thing Beyonce had going musically. Ameriie came out at a time when Ashanti/J.Lo dominated mainstream R&B. And then you still had women like Tweet who was killing it at the time. Brandy came back on the scene and there was still songs from Aaliyah's last album in rotation ("I Care 4 U" and "More Than A Woman"). That's not to mention that Alicia Keys was still the biggest artist in R&B at the time.

It wasn't like it was some orchestrated plot to steal Ameriie's sound. It was a matter of the same producer producing a song that launched a superstar.

That was another issue. "Touch" seemed like a label move to capitalize off of Lil' Jon's run. T.I. was also featured on it and he was a go to for guest appearances at the time.

"Why Don't We Fall In Love" is perfect as is. I just wished the Richcraft remix would've had it's own video.

I remember somewhere where this song was being teased as the second single from Touch:

Yeah the label dropped the ball on that. Touch was so out of place. Amerie had the momentum going for herself and Touch derailed it.

I wish Why Don't We longer that's just me. It's a great song. Seemed like it was a tease tho.

I knew this thread would turn into a Beyonce hate thread. :francis:

Any Aaliyah, Mya, Amerrie, Keisha Cole appreciation thread gets turned into some Beyonce conspiracy bullshyt. shyt's so predictable.

I was sitting here like :dwillhuh: when I saw this thread had over 250 posts. ..I thought she must've dropped a sextape or something. ..lol I should've known
