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

[TheDarkCloud]

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.

Ameriie had the crossover appeal and was headed in that direction with her 2nd album. But her in house producer/writer sold her entire sound out after “1 Thing” blew up.

Her and Rich didn’t talk for years. That’s why he didn’t do any work on her last two albums.

She could have blown up. She had the look.

Idk breh. It’s sad. She makes dope ass music.

amerie still my girl, i'd love to see her winning. her first album is better holistically than any Bey album IMO, well maybe not 4 which most people overlook in the first place

She was low key making moves behind the scenes as a writer. Beyonce is known for neutralizing her enemies though.

 

[Formerly Black Trash]

I loved amerie

Her first two albums with rich Harrison lead singles and production only managed to go gold, she had huge budgets and no platinum albums, so where's this superstar that y'all are speaking of?

Amerie is dope and talkin to me is still a favorite song but I'm not sure where y'all get that she would've been a worldwide superstar 15 years later from.

They putting way too much sauce on Amerie with this video. However, it is a known fact that Beyoncé has always been a swagger-jacker like her pretend husband.

 

[KENNY DA COOKER]

Well the American music industry was invented by the Jews so they could get their dikk sucked and smash pretty women. So whoever becomes the most popular artists and get the most push are the ones who suck the most old Jewish dikk aka beyonce, j-lo, rihanna etc.

 

[Here Comes the Pain]

Yeah they played her hard.

That's how it be when you on the come up.

Think of how many songs went to Beyonce that wasn't even intended for her.

 

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

It's ok to like or dislike a person...

But none of those girls were in the same stratosphere as Beyoncé man

 

[levitate]

She’s finer than jhene and her sister

Nah, breh. Tie at best:

@MikeyC go ahead and get the thread going, breh. Amerie vs. Jhene

nikka, shut up. Nobody said she was a superstar. I said she could have been one because she had the formula down. Industry politics got in the way of her crossing over and it is what it is.

 

[levitate]

Jhene is the type of girl that you just wanna kiss gently on the forehead and say "love you, baby".

 

[#1 pick]

Rich Harrison style, not Amarie. That's like saying Keith Sweat style when it was Teddy Rileys style. Columbia make a decision. Beyonce and J Lo can sell 8-10 mil with the same beats or go Gold with Amarie. No brainer


Like Nike, LeBron or Durant can sell your shoe or get Dennis Schroeder to be the face. You take LeBron and Durant. If Amarie was that good, she would have sold like the others did.

no it didnt .... chick didnt sell .... thats it

she came out in an era where if you didnt go platinum as an artist sooner or later you would get canned .....

anyone who thinks Amerie and Beyonce sound alike doesnt know shyt about music .... one makes RnB the other makes pop music .....
