Amerie - 1 Thing | REACTION!! TOO FIREEE!🔥🔥🔥

[@jtaylor875]

The fact that her label wanted to give this song to J Lo and Amerie said "Not on my watch" and released it herself. She's one of my favorite artist. All her albums are 🔥.

[@OhDatsJaVion]

If J Lo would have sang the song !! It would of FLOPPED

[@KoolKeithProductions]

@@OhDatsJaVion lol I think this song is great, but neither J lo OR Amerie feels like it was a fit for them. Beyonce, on the other hand, fits it perfectly. I mean when did Amerie turn BLK all of a sudden? Wasn't she singing bubble gum pop before this?

[@imjesssayin1706]

@@jobuck879 that’s because Amarie and her fiancé came up with that sound and used it on her debut album in 01-02 and then he, Harrison, produced Crazy In Love in 03 with the same sound. I’m not saying B stole it, I’m saying Amarie started it and was drowned out. It’s no ones fault. The consumers create the market. Folks chose Rhiannon and Bey. It’s just business 😉

[@jobuck879]

@@imjesssayin1706 No that’s a lie, Beyoncé started her solo album in 02, and worked with that producer. Amerie didn’t start with that sound until 2004. Your time line is off.

This is a BILLION DOLLAR BLUEPRINT. If you watch this and the live performance it will give you a resemblance of someone’s WHOLE swag! They went on to become a BILLIONAIRE From this one song, sound, LOOK, and all of the above. She is a billion dollar trendsetter. Not to mention DC’s sound is actually the heartbeat that the industry cannot deny.

[@iamv482]

Exactly that is that DC Go Go sound straight from the DMV area ✊🏿🏆🏆🏆.

[@PeanutGallery89]

One of my favorite songs! Beyonce's people and others in the music industry stole the sound (which was DC Go Go), music (she wrote her own music and for others), and Amerie's esthetic. There is a documentary about her career on here and how that happened.

This song hasn’t left my playlists since it came out.

[@Yeaster]

She's my favorite singer, I just find her tone so unique and pretty

[@LeoSpiritGenX]

Yasss!!! One of my favorites by her. It’s actually A-Ma-Ree. This song was on the “Hitch” soundtrack. So this was the Go-Go sound she was big on that other artist used as well but of course theirs was pushed harder. J-Lo’s song I believe is “Get Right” used the same beat. Try A-Ma-Ree’s other one “Why Don’t We Fall in Love”. 2 Chains sampled it with Ariana Grande. Oh and “Talking To Me” is a whole vibe”. Thanks for reacting to this.

[@sinderella23]

It was the same producer that did Get Right, that's why the beats sound similar. When it came out I thought I was trippin cuz I was like this sounds like that Amerie beat🤔 I had to look it up and they came out so close together. Not to make this too long but it's politics. Look at Keri Hilson. No matter how popular her songs are and how many ppl she writes for, she's blocked.

[@anatejada1100]

Glad you liked it!!! We had so much diversity in music back then

[@indicajai1230]

Amerie was my girl! I still listen to her music now, this song and Why Don't We Fall In Love are my favorites from her! She also has another one called Talkin To Me which is good too. In my opinion Beyonce really took from her, she came not long after Aaliyah's passing so in a sense I felt like she really didn't get to shine as much as she could have because she was kind of put in baby girl's shadow. But she's dope

[@lisajohnson521]

Amerie is a treasure. I HATE how the industry did her because she is a wonderful writer, vocalist and performer. She has the BEST harmonies ever. Her harmonies are so melodic and beautiful. She has an album called Because I Love It, that unfortunately was never released in the US. I remember that I waited for over a year or so, to find that album and it is AMAZING!!!!! She deserved to be a bigger star than she was allowed to be. It'd really a shame. I have been a HGE fan of hers since her first single Why Don't We Fall in Love. To this day, years later, I still listen to her music. She has a book club channel here on YT that I follow as well. Shawnty, you should definitely check out more of her music. She has no bad songs in my opinion.

[@dreyday21]

Amerie has the best music

[@travelingwithvanessa]

She was a DYNAMIC STAR ON THE RISE. She probably had to run from the crooked music industry. We know she was truly talented and will never be forgotten. Her name is pronounced "A-MA-REE."

I'm glad Amerie didn't listen to her label when they said this song wld flop and not well and not release or promote it as a single. Bey stole Amerie's whole sound & style for her first 2 albums which is crazy. The 2 remixes w/Eve and Jay Z are fire. Check out talking about & Curious by Amerie.

[@Whitebrowpriest]

I saw in a documentary one time that her record label treated her like crap after this track, because though the producer produced it for her, the label wanted the song to go to J-Lo (Jennifer Lopez) who was already a huge star at the time. But the she and her producer took Amarie's recording to all the radio stations and made sure the public heard her version. Of course it was a smash hit and the public loved Amerie just on this one track. But the record label was sore about it, and they ceased promoting Amarie like they did their others artists, and it hurt her career. Messed up, right?
