Crazy In Love (Beyonce's 1st hit) was originally Amerie's 1st single for her sophomore album in 03 after she went on tour an her first album went gold in 02, Beyonce heard it before it dropped on the radio and liked it so Matthew Knowles pulled a Suge Knight move behind the scenes and it ends up as her 1st single for her debut album. Amerie has to scrap her whole album and start over again and drops it in 2005, 1 Thing (which was on the Hitch soundtrack) becomes a huge hit so she came back in a way but she could've had Crazy in Love supplement her career

Matthew Knowles ironically also had Toya (I Do) taken off Dilemma and replaced with Kelly Rowland, which was a megahit and jumpstarted her career, and left Toya in the dust

Amerie has never had a platinum album, she barely touched gold on all of them

Here's the reality...

Amerie dropped in 2002, barley went gold, and had the highest charting song only reach #23 on the billboard hot 100

Beyoncé dropped in 2003, went 4x platinum, had 2 #1 hits, a song that was #3 and a song that reached #4 on the billboard hot 100. (4 songs in the top 5)


Since people keep using Rich Harrison as the deciding factor I'll mention that her other #1 hit was produced by Scott storch, in fact storch also produced that #3 and #4



It's safe to say that the competition between them that people speak of actually never existed
