Anyone else notice Amerie gave Beyoncé a style to run with?

How? Can ya'll give me some examples? I barely even remember Amerie.

Btw I'm not a Beyhuve fan but some of ya'll severely underestimate Beyonce's talent, hard work and ability to brand herself.

She's an excellent dancer and performer. Uses every part of her body, has a pretty good voice and great breath control during her performances. SHes not the best dancer or singer, but she is the best in the game that can do both.
She's a generational force.

:rudy: nobody was saying this when she first dropped...especially when "just one thing" hit the airwaves

some of you cats would disown your own mommas for beyonce i swear

I’m not even a Beyoncé fan, but bro, don’t play yourself. Amerie can’t sing. At all.

“Just one thing” was a nice tune when it dropped, I’ll admit that.

But Amerie has never been anything but “a pretty face with a thin voice that benefited greatly from slick production”. Slick production is exactly what “Just one thing” was.

Her style that people claim Beyoncé bit wasn’t her style. It was her producers. And her producer did a hell of a job making her sound tolerable over her tracks.

Amerie was wack. She was never gonna last long. Nobodies don’t typically influence others. So she should be grateful that she had some type of influence over another artist, even though that influence had nothing to do with her actual talent, or lack there of.
All I Have >>>>>>>>>>> every Beyonce album aside from her first one.

When did she bite her style? Beyoncé didn’t have anything that sounded like Why Don’t We Fall In Love. Plus Crazy in Love dropped before One Thing
Crazy In Love was done by Amerie’s producer. Amerie is a DC native. Rich Hamilton is a DC native. The sound is a DC go go influenced sound. Beyonce is from Texas. Who is the only person in this picture that doesnt fit?

U obviously only really know Amerie from 1 Thing which is on her SOPHOMORE album. She already dropped a classic with her first album that influenced Beyonce’s first album which is her best album as well.
