- American R&B singer, songwriter, author and actress Amerie Mi Marie Rogers was born in Fitchburg, Massachusetts in 1980 to a Korean mother and an African American father. In July 2002, her debut single, “Why Don't We Fall in Love”, was released. It peaked at number 23 on the Billboard Hot 100 and became a Top 10 hit on the R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. In January 2005, she released the song that would skyrocket her career. “1 Thing,” the first single off her second album would become her biggest hit to date.

Two words to describe Ameriie......CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED. I swear that track One Thing still slaps till this day.
This very day !
Of course.
Okay! 👌
Facts!
Amerie is my Go to Pandora station.
For Beyoncé to rise, they stole Amerie’s whole sound. Ashanti was pushed to the back & Aaliyah sadly passed away. Beyoncé is so TALENTED but she wears that crown unfairly. Just remember’A’ always comes before ‘B’
Her debut album is really good. Why don’t we fall in love is a bonafide classic.
I still got my 'All I Have" cd.
IMHO she never topped that album. It was THAT good.
Yes it is! Everytime i hear that song, i think of my ex.
Yes it is....excellent cd
Yes
This was so refreshing. No drama, chaos and mayhem. Looks like she led a good life and had a good upbringing.
Absolutely, she's so positive.
She's still alive lol
2 family home with traditional roles, versus strong black woman with massive energy, I don't need a man generation l😂
I’m so glad Amerie kept her song ‘One Thing’.
Some of Jlo's songs sound similar. No wonder she settled with Get Right, sounds the same
Me too . That freaking Jho
Me too!
JLo wanted everyone’s songs.
@@FC-hj9ubWow, they do sound alike! Never noticed that!
Something about the song "Why Don't We Fall In Love" it takes you back to where you were when you heard it.
I was just thinking the same thing!
So true.. Takes u back to that person u were with or wanted to be with... Feels like summer... Feels like a beautiful day... Feels like love... Man... Shit is so classic.
YES!!! it's a very nostalgic song💖
It takes me back to 2002 being 22 years old
@@deshonebonyrowland-ward4552 Yes exactly feels like a beautiful day.
She was sooooo underrated!!! JLo singing "One Thing"?! Oh heeeellll Naww!!!
I know! I’m so glad she leaked it to prevent that culture vulture stealing from her.
I agree with you
A mic should burn in JLo’s hand anytime she touches one. She knows damn well she is not a singer.
Damn, J-lo stole from Amerie too?
The sad part is two of JLO's songs has Ashanti's and Christina Milan's vocals on it.
Amerie is so underrated but I also believe her sweet soul wasn't meant for this cutthroat industry. Sometimes, God blocks it. But I'm glad she's rebounded in other ways.
💯💯💯
I still listen to Amerie almost every day! She is so slept on. “All I have” and “Talking To Me” is my shit! ✨💕💕✨💕💞💞💞
I love that album!
@@yo81 that album is a VIBE! I listen to it on my car rides. 💕✨
Daily!!
Yes!
That album is an underrated gem
Mariah owns Christmas, Amerie owns the summer 💯
😹
🤣🤣🤣🤣 true
I like that.
Look at you lol
😁
I've been following Amerie for year's on CZcams, she's a bookworm. She's still extremely beautiful!
I was gonna say, she’s on Booktube and still making music. lol
And she’s doing fine Making that 💰 majority and independent with her own label
@@AlexFroot What's her CZcams channel called? The only channels I can find are of her music.
@@thebeatnumber 🔥
Me to I love her page
“Why don’t we fall in love “ is a certified summer banger. And “Talkin to me “ is my favorite song of hers.
Talkin to me is my favorite as well.
1 Thing by Amerie will always be a club banger!!
Glad she and her husband are still going strong and now have a beautiful baby ❤ that's rare to hear these days
Thank goodness Amerie leaked One Thing to the radio.
She's aged like fine wine 😍 Touch has so many bangers on it. She definitely deserves her flowers 💐💐💐
Amerie is the queen of summer because her song Why Don't We Fall in Love is a great song to play for the first day of summer!!
I literally just typed this same thing without seeing this comment.. It is the quintessential summer/spring track.. A must play
Listen to the Kaytranada remix! Doesn't top Ameries original but dam I miss her
Yes ! That is still my song
OMG I always play it blasting in my car in the summer. It feels AMAZING like when I first heard it as a teen
Yes!
Short answer: Yes her entire career was stolen by those artists and their camps.
Amerie came from a very good background and is a very articulate, educated and kind person
Industry insiders peeped that from a mile away and used it to push her over.
Some of yall faves owe this woman royalties in perpetuity!
💯💯💯
Facts!
No lies told!
Facts! 👍
Nobody stole anything from her career wise. She was a good artist that just didn’t make it past the r&b charts.
Why don't we fall in love will forever be a summer anthem/classic💜 her music felt so fresh and light weight I miss it
Amerie also sang a cover of Diana Ross's I'm Coming Out for the 2002 movie Maid in Manhattan as well
I thought it was JLo who sang that song over?🤔
Omg
Yep and it was good with Ameries raspy high vocals.
I did not know that
Not only that. She also played in other film during 2004 as well 🙂
I still listen to Amerie. Her music was beyond her years. None of these female pop artist can beat her.
Fr
I’ve always said the arrival of BEYONCE as a solo artist unfortunately suppressed a ton of artists’ careers including
Blu Cantell, Mya and Ashanti.
They’re were other factors that contributed to the demise however the machine behind Beyonce didn’t help matters one bit for them. Still love all of their music tho regardless of absence of heavy airplay!
Yes.
Be more specific and say the arrival of Beyoncé suppressed tons of BLACK FEMALE singers. I am a fan of all of Amerie’s work. All her projects are 🔥 especially “Becsuse I Love It”. The label sabotaged her career because they didn’t like the fact she released one thing without their approval.
Eh not Mya. Mya was her labels first R&B/Pop singer so they dropped the ball. Idk too much about Blu Cantrell. Ashanti you’re correct, Irv said she even was doing the high heels & choreo trying to compete with Beyonce when that wasn’t her lane.
@@MrKingchad221 Moodring album and Bittersweet album both came the summer of 2003 and were unfortunately demolished by the Dangerously in Love heavy album airplay era due to the aforementioned machine. I agree about the label dropping the ball and barely promoting the Moodring album, if at all.
1 thing is a timeless rnb masterpiece. I love crazy in love and get right... but 1 Thing is the OG.
Straight facts!
I see no lies
Crazy In Love came before 1 thing. Lol.
@@beymeatpwwe already know Crazy in Love technically came out before One Thing but Amerie had the style first and her “style” with Rich was already heard locally and underground before Crazy in love that’s how Beyonce and her team heard about Rich
My song by Amerie was “Paradise” with LL Cool J, beautiful voice and nice video, Bless you babe.
Always loved Ameriie. She is an amazing talented artist, who really does have it all. Those legs are killer too. I wish her more success and love on everything she touches.
It's those "two" things that got me trippin 😜
The video for 1 Thing by Amerie was on heavy rotation on MTV and BET!!
A story on Keri Hilson would be very, very interesting
Empressive channel have one on Keri Hilson
Keri hilson ended her own career by listening to her label management whom encouraged her to diss Beyoncé. But ofcourse people will find a way to blame Bey when it wasn’t even her fault for Keri getting blacklisted.
Facts.
Meh
@@lilmizzije Wow. That was dumb. Hopefully she'll be able to start over.
"Why Don't We Fall In Love" is a great song; the ideal song you want to hear playing when you see the woman of your dreams.
Sounded like a track Nas would have used. That Trackmasters style production was played by 2001.
It's about time for an Amerie video! She deserves her flowers. I still listen to All I Have and follow her on CZcams. I read her book Because You Love to Hate Me, it was good.
I've been blaring Amerie lately. She's such a talented artist and is a trailblazer of the early and mid 00's era. Personal favorites are "All I Need", "I Just Died", "Rolling Down My Face", and "Can We Go"
Yesssssssssss
I just died in your arms tonight don't want nobody bring me back to life.
She's better off out of it. The music indus is so cutthroat, much too beautiful, intelligent, and creative to waste it on that, she's gaining so much cred with her books and other activities. I wish her and fam all the best. Abs. loved 'one thing'.
Her one touch album is amazing, the layered harmonies and beats....should have won a Grammy
Yep. She had a tough grammy nomination year because it is the same grammy year as Mariahs the Emancipation of mimi album, and as good as that was, both Ameries categories got snatched up by Mariah. We were all routing for her to atleast win the vocal performance category for 1 thing, because if 1 thing was attemped by anyone else, NOBODY could vocally impress the way Amerie did on that track, and back then Amerie could sing that song live just as she did on the recording over and over as we seen in plenty of live performances, though Mariah (as much as we love her) rarely did back then for we belong together which took the category at yhe grammys.
Amerie was so underrated. Even I didn't pay enough attention to her at times. But I went back four years ago and discovered all her old music again. My favorite song by her is Not the Only One, Paint Me Over, Red Eye, Crazy Wonderful. Thanks to CZcams became a fan all over again. And yeah a lot of artists stole her style.
She was definitely one of my favorites back in the day. She is extremely talented but so underrated. She seems so humble and down to earth. It’s always those really nice and talented artists that don’t get the exposure they very much deserve.
she has the most incredible vocals; don't understand why she doesn't get talked about.
I loved listening to Amerie... "Nothing like loving you" was one of my favorites.. I remember those summer nights I could listen to her album all the way through... The songs just flowed together.
Yes her first album was such a laid back sexy summer vibe ... Nothing like loving you was my favorite too.. and “just like me” was my favorite from Touch
She is naturally beautiful and can sing. Queen 🐝 wasn't having that!!
I still blast All I Have and Touch in full to this day and 1 Thing will forever be a cultural reset of the 2000’s 🔥 (Thank God J.Lo’s version never blew up)
Amerie truly deserved better 💜
That's right Amerie!!! They wanna play dirty, so play dirty right back with them. She took that song right to radio. HA!!!
Man I remember when 1 Thing came out. I was still in school and everyone loved it
Last week my friend and I were trying to add it as a ring tone on our phones but could not get access. We still do not understand what went wrong.
Here comes JLO AGAIN attempting to steal from and emulate black women artists.
Here comes BEYONCE AGAIN stealing from more talented artists.
JLo has no talent so she has to steal. She knew Black was were it’s at since she was a fly girl on In Living Color. Not everyone wants to emulate Black women but it’s obvious she does. She even copied Beyoncé’s performance down to the hair style. Not an original bone In her body.
JLo didn't steal from any black Female and emulate black artists? JLo isn't WHITE either, if ya gonna Push some racist ass narrative at least Check your facts. It's ppl like you pushing this everyone is Stealing from black people sh!t, Sort ya head out 👏
@@urbanlark Beyonce's Been copying JLo for years Your rather dumb or Ignorant JLo hasn't stole shit IL wait for You to provide the Receipts and then I will clock you left and right
@@danny6988 Not sure what your definition of “stole” is but mine is when you take something that does not belong to you. She attempted to do it to Amerie, she did it to Usher with one of his songs, she copied Beyoncé’s outfit, choreography, and hairstyle for a performance on an awards show about two years ago. She was a fly girl on in living color where they danced to hip hop music doing the latest dances that Black people created. She also had black rappers hop on her records thus emulating the Black community. This was the time when hip hop was not as accepted in the wider community as it is now so she was emulating Blacks then. If you are her fan/Stan it is ok but just recognize the facts that your celebrity/god is a no talent thief that slept her way to where she is. She is only one step above Kim Kardashian.
"Rolling Down My Face" and "Gotta Work" are my favourite tracks by FAR!
J- Lo is always singing over others songs. Just like she did with Ashanti.
Ain’t it funny
Tramp latina on God LMAO. She's been using black people since the dawn of time.
I've never heard of this person before. Don't know how I missed her! But NEVER heard that about JLo singing over others either. I knew that Beyonce had permission to do a few other artist songs over!
Like I love J-Lo, but that pissed me off lmaooo
@@southhour5241 oh pls, get over yourself. Shes apparently better at the business than others. Had they had a case on 'stolen style' or whatever, they wouldve sued.
Always loved her music so much. “Talking to me”, “All that I have”, and “Nothing like loving you” are STILL some of my all time favs songs! ❤️
@@Autumn.Leo365 most definitely but it’s the lyrics for me too!
I love this women. She is so beautiful, classy and so talented.
I love her so much, have since the first time I heard Why Don't We Fall in Love at 14 years old. She has my favorite voice EVER in music. Whatever she does, she will always have my support
Bob ,Im with you on this, I wish that she was still out here today instead of Mrs. Beyonce ,I would definitely support her by going to her concerts and do a meet n greet with her and get her autograph and her matrials All man I miss her so much performing.
To this day, everytime I play GTA V, I jam out to 1 Thing whenever it comes on the "Non Stop Pop" station 😂
same 😭
I absolutely adore ammii!!!!!! I clicked so fast lol. She was slept on imo and definitely people wanted that rich Harrison sound she helped him cultivate. JLO been a theif lol. Get right actually was recorded and leaked by usher, prior to it ever being a Jennifer Lopez song, it was an usher Raymond song. I still keep ammii in rotation, especially the touch album. 4am Mulholland drive and after 4am are also recent works of hers that is amazing! She is one of my all time favorite artists.
I could tell Usher's version was faaaaaar better. Should have been added to Confessions.
@@danavixen6274 facts! I did a bop to get right but Ushers version was called Ride and it was better. Definitely could have been on confessions. But it was one of the tracks they scrapped. He had so much gold on that album
@@TTSantiago821 Confessions is a modern CLASSIC. Definitely Usher's Thriller! Got me through some dark times. 💓
Remember Jlo using Ashantis vocals in I’m real. She didn’t even bother to sing. A lot of Jlo songs were not even sang by her yet she has the credits for it. But then again I understand she can’t sing to save her life.
@@doreensika837 I know 1 thing-pun intended-Amerie made a BOSS move! 🙋🏾♀️
I like her. Good to see she appears to be doing well and has other creative outlets to fall back on.
The most underrated R&B female singer I still listen to one thing, why don’t we fall in love and 🔥😍
I screamed when they showed miss Juicy reaction about Amerie changing her name spelling @7:21. HAHAH
Amerie will always be one of my favourite female R&B sweeties !
I didn't know that her Dad is Black. She looks like my friend, a Polynesian woman. It's good to hear that she is doing well.
I hate that she was so underrated. She is so talented. One Thing WILL ALWAYS BE ON MY PLAYLIST
Her music just puts me in that hot summer day when it's played she is and always 1 of my favorites ♥
Me to luv her
She’s still a beautiful bombshell 😍😍 “Why Don’t We Fall in Love” takes me back to the Summer of 2002 😌😌 the summer after 5th grade lol. “1 Thing” will always be a banger!! 🎶🎶
She’s absolutely gorgeous ❤️🎶❤️
Amerie is one of the greatest singers of the 2000s R&B. Her second album Touch is a perfect example to confirm this...
I still listen to her.
Sounds like she did well for herself. I'm happy for her.
So glad she outsmarted that heifer J.Lo regarding "1 Thing". The label was out of line to side with her like she would have done the song justice. She had a lot of nerve smh
I could imagine JLO stealing this and claiming ALL credit for it. So glad it went against her!
I don’t even Jennifer would have given that song the life and vitality that is in the vocals because she is incapable of that type fo vocal depth. Straight up she can’t sing.
@@urbanlark Yessssssss!!!!!! Truth Teller!!!!!!!!!!!
The song needed to stay with Amerii, it has a go go sound to it. Being that she went to high school & college in DC, she knows the sound & culture of the music. JLo was trying to steal a sound & present it as something new lol.
Great video keep them coming!!! Can't wait for the next artist you feature
Wow that’s interesting how these singer sometimes have to shop they’re music around, or music label think other artists can do better, I’m glad one thing got leaked !!! ….. I’m so use to hearing Amerie sing one thing I don’t think I can even see j-lo singing it I’m glad she kept a positive attitude thru the years
I've read two of her books she recommended from her book club..
They were pretty good.
Loved her 1st & 2nd album releases; bomb!!
Amerie was definitely underrated!!!! One Thing and Why don’t we fall in Love is my jam!!! 💃🏽❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
ONE THING WILL ALWAYS BE A BANGER At this point I think she just enjoys life at a much slower pace and enjoys being a mom.
Thanks for this! One of my fave artists. Enthralled.
All I Have was a masterpiece🙌🏾 In Love & War is still on rotation with me. The songs Swag Back, Red Eye, Pretty Brown, and Different People are dope off the album. Those are a must listen!
Yasss 👏🏿👄💯
Those are literally my favs on that album!!!
This was amazing !! ✨✨✨✨
Love these stories so much!!
Another great video you be on the grind Fr 💪💯
Her first album - All I Have (2002) is legit one of the best R&B albums I’d ever heard. No skips. 💕💕
Why don’t we fall in Love!! Love that song
I freakin love Ameriie! Her first and second CD was EVERYTHING!! Especially " 1 Thing!" That...is...my sooooong!!🙌🏾🙌🏾😍😍
Thanks sooo much for doing this report on her. Always wondered what happened to her.
I love Amerie! Love her music. Glad she and her family are doing well.
Janet,Sade and Amerie are it for me. These people are so.....dam talented.❤️
Love me some Amerie! “Nothing Like Loving You” is my joint!
I really enjoyed that story,thank you for that😊
Another EXCELLENT SYMPOSIUM!!! THX
Why dont we fall in love will always be the song of the summer!
Still listen to her music! She is a very undervalued artist, and glad she has made things work for her! I need to keep up with her channel! Keep rising, fellow Capricorn!!
Love both of your channels
The title sneakily answers it's own question..
Beyoncé bit style hard! B’s songs and Amerie’s “one thing” track sounded damn near the same.
because they worked with the same producer 🤨 y'all always forget that. every producer has certain sounds. because after that one song she did with him her music didn't sound like hers at all. Y'all can stop lying on this girl and trying to find ways to say she cheated her success. You can have all the talent you want but you need the right label, team, and manager, and beyoncé had it all. Thank you next.
@@alientingz7733 Period point blank ‼🤷🏾♂ People always try and bring down Bey's achievements.
Amerie & Bey both worked with Rich Harrison for seminal songs in their archive. I actually purchased Amerie's albums on CD, I really liked her work with Rich but Beyonce in no way copied her style or anything. Beyonce rose to the top with a mixture of her own talent, her unbreakable support of her parents and dedication. I am happy Amerie is happy, she had some bops on her records.
Rich Harrison also worked with destiny child’s lol him and B have produced a lot of tracks together
I love her! I love “Why Don’t Why We Fall In Love”. She’s very underrated.
Great video, insightful, always wondered what happen happened to her
Your page came on my feed yesterday, I've watched your features on Girl group Expose, Joe and now Amerie. I saw you feature Tracie Spencer too, have not watched yet, but I love the artists you cover🙌🏾💗
Omggg I been waiting for this! She is my favorite singer besides Aaliyah❤️ I enjoyed and sang my heart out to all her albums thank you for this
Yay I am one of Amerie's biggest fans! Her 2007 album would've did good here in the states if released! Such a shame
Thanks for sharing👌
Amerie will ALWAYS have my support regardless of what the media tries to say about HER, when I first saw her on the 1 Thing album, my eyes were filled with ❤️s.
Eve also appeared on the remix to Amerie's 1 Thing!!
My favorite song from her is CRUSH.
(off her third album)
Owayz loved her, keep up the good works.
AMERIE SOUNDS AND VOCALS WAS LIT IN HER ARRIVAL TO MUSIC 🎶 WE STILL LOVE HER AND HER MUSIC 🙏🏾🫶🏾✊🏾🎤
Yes, Ameriie's music was stolen from her. I follow her on all platforms.
I loved her first album. It is an amazing album. I still listen to it.
I loved all of this! She’s so talented I wish she would come out with another album
Well she went live last year I think. Or this year saying she was going to release new music next year so She’ll be one of one I’ll be waiting for !
Great video! Amerie is one of my favorite r&b/hip hop/pop artists period!!! She has it all. The talent, innovation, and creativity all in one. Seriously, the music industry is trash but sis got her name still relevant in music and catalogue of hits. As a fan, I see through the b.s. and she DESERVES her flowers period!!! Her music and signature sound got used up by other artists too much. Rich Harrison should've been a little more selfish. Music producers should work who they want but in the process find creative ways to create different sounds of music. Amerie pretty much is a legend/icon!!! Thank your making this video! Keep up the amazing work!!!
