How Amerie’s career was hijacked by Beyonce and J-Lo

[TheDarkCloud]

The coli obsession with Amerie and hate for Beyonce is hilarious to me.

Amerie was never gonna have Beyonces career even if Beyonce didnt exist. So just stop with the nonsense.

Reported for trolling

only mistake she made was not making the Cam remix official.

only mistake she made was being signed to the same label as j-lo and beyonce

you cats act like these artists are superhuman - these muthafukkas are crazier and are more insecure than us "regular" people, y'all have no idea.

Amerie was never a serious threat to Beyonce, none of these chicks people have tried to anoint as Beyonce killers came close to her crossover appeal to pop audiences.
she made damn good music though, "How Do We Fall in Love" is one of the best R&B songs of the modern era.

Revisionism.

Beyonce had more staying power than Alicia Keys, Amerie, Ashanti, Keyshia Coles and the other girls from the 2000s and that's ultimately why she made it to the top. From 2002 to 2006 though, Beyonce wasn't the Queen of shyt. She was one of many. All the Bee Hive shyt came much later.

As far as the thread goes, Amerie's last album

Amerie was the first mainstream blasian, so she sits dear to these nikkas hearts

Word. Ain't Beyonce Black, Native American and French according to her L'oreal commercial

Amerie took up Aaliyah's mantle a bit after her passing. That's why she gets love. She made R&B music some nikkas could nod to. We fukks with her.

 

[TheDarkCloud]

Btw, Ima need you nikkas to spell her name right. It’s Ameriie. She added an extra “i” lol

all of that may be true, but when "why don't we fall in love" hit the radio, that stood out from everything else at the time musically

they can market you all day long as the next whatever, but you still gotta make hit records and that she did with ease

Beyoncé was bigger than every artist you named during that time frame.


dangerously in love sold 5 million in the us and had four top 5 billboard hot 100 hits. 2 #1's

Bday did 3.4 million and had two top 5 hot 100 hits. Irreplaceable was #1 for a good minute.

In between those two albums in 04 she dropped another destinys child album that also did 4 million, and had two top 5 hot 100 hits.

No the beehive didn't form until she started with that chant/anthem music but she was still at the top of the female R&B game. The only other artist you can make an argument for was alicia keys and I would be okay with that.

Diary of Alicia keys is the best female album in the 2000's

She’s finer than jhene and her sister

Lol @ dude acting like Ashanti wasn’t bigger than Beyoncé from 2002-2004.

It’s sad how nikkas be trying to play Ashanti. Foolish was bigger than any single Beyoncé released in that time frame.

She was on radio more due to Murder Inc but Beyonce was way more popluar

You just make up shyt in our own head to fit your own narrative. The comment was from 02-06, if you think Ashanti was bigger than Beyoncé for those 4 years then you're delusional. She only gets 02 and that's caus Beyoncé didn't drop yet lol.

Foolish came out in 02, beyonce didn't release her debut until 03. The moment Beyoncé dropped solo she was bigger than Ashanti. I don't come with emotions I come with facts. Both Ashanti and Beyoncé dropped albums in 2003, one sold double the other and one had more billboard hits, Beyoncé. Those are facts. Like I said the only one you can put with Beyoncé is alicia keys.

This Ameriie song came out last year and it was dope.

Anyway I don’t know wtf happened with Amerie but all I do know is she dropped some dope ass music and disappeared and then nikkas were sounding like her and shyt. She ain’t the best singer but she puts her all into her music, that’s why I like her. I don’t know if she would’ve been superstar status but she was definitely on her way.


This song is so dope to me! I think if she continued singing over breakbeats like this she would’ve been ok. Ameriie is severely underrated! I’m not comparing her to Beyoncé cause I just don’t want to argue but man she should’ve been on! All this shyt is subjective anyway....

From 2002-2004, no female artist was fukkin with Ashanti.

You need to look at her trajectory breh. That chick broke numerous records. Bey didn’t really hit her stride until Sasha Fierce. Because even before then, Alicia Keys was outselling her as well.
