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 🔥.
@@javionriley8739 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?
@@ssj-rose4572 bcuz she made it a point to distance herself from blk ppl early in her career, and then l guess when that didn't work, she's "super blk" now lol
Yes, her time is near to return. The JayZ, Beyoncé empire is about to fall. Jayz wanted her she said no. The queen b stole her style and movers and then blacklisted her.
@@SlyVaughnHOBHno queen b made crazy in love in 2003 she made this 2005 but in the end of the day it's just a style of music and their both great at singing ❤
This was a huge hit for Amerie, all of her albums are so good. sidenote: she also has a youtube channel under the name Amerie where she reviews books and etc. (she has a children's book coming out soon).
@@imjesssayin1706 It’s the same sound from Crazy In Love which was before 1Thing but even before that it was a sound from the 70’s, it just didn’t get as much attention as disco.
@@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 😉
@@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. And again that sound was around in the 70’s. So neither Amerie, Beyoncé nor that producer can claim it since it was already done before they came along.
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.
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.
@@DiorD737 She is from D.C and that's our sound. What are you talking about do your research 🤔 Bey is from Houston so how did she have it first but you got it!! Lol FYI most ppl don't even like gogo or know what it is if you are not from the DMV
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.
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.
Beyoncé stole her producer! This was the best ever banging RnB to come out the 90’s. I fell in love with this cool cat and I’m in Liverpool, Uk Here’s one for you Logic 1-800 live on MTV awards… 46m views… Good reaction dude 🙏
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
pronounced: A Marie (Amerie) ....met her back when artists still did store signings, She's so sweet and short 😂. They always made her look tall in her videos. You should react to the summer anthem "why don't we fall in love" or the feature she did with LL Cool J "Paradise"
@@deljean Yes she's short lol, if you look in all her videos she always have on high stilettos. im 5'2 so she has to be about 5'3 -5'5. She does have nice legs though so i see why they always made that a focus
@@ebonystar6915 oh okay tht makes sense im 5'3 but in pics or on camera I look really tall because I have long legs lol. And yes she's always been in stilettos
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."
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.
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?
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.
Amerie is a DMV native and she represented us well during this era. Her first two albums were absolute F I R E but this track her made her an international star. This song was featured on the Hitch soundtrack starring Will Smith
It’s pronounced “A-Marie” and she blew up before Beyonce left Destiny’s Child. She’s a Georgetown University grad. JLo was accused of jocking her style…just like she has done with many other Black female artists who can really sing. Anyway check out Amerie’ s first hit “Why Don’t We Fall Love”.
My mother is almost 70 years old, and she loves this song! She made me put it on a special playlist for her - this and Hood Boy by Fantasia - btw, you should react to that song too 💯🤣🔥🔥🔥
Her first album is a classic. A summertime staple. It isn’t summer until I hear “Why Don’t We Fall In Love” which is on the first album “All I Have”. Pretty much the whole album jams.
2022 Labor day Weekend Let’s Go🔥💥🔥 the party starter!!! Amerie is a vocal arrangement genius like Brandy. This is a Rich Harrison production and he was originally Amerie’s producer (check for her debut album from 2002) before Beyonce stole😄 umm got in contact with him for her song w Jay Z bc she needed street cred.
Love her music, and sound. Like someone below stated, she was definitely underrated. Check out her other song Talkin To Me, and Paradise LL Cool J ft. Amerie🔥🔥🔥
That beat/rythmn is the hardest commercial "GO GO" sound you will hear. She repped the DC/MD/VA hard with this song. Amerie style sound was forwarded to Beyonce......
One of my all time favourite songs. This was also on the soundtrack of the movie Hitch. Amerie is underrated. Amerie is biracial. Her mother is Korean, that’s why she’s got the Korean tattoo on her back. She’s stunning even now.
Shalimar, The Second Time Around...amazing song and the band was huge. One of the members, Jeffrey Daniel, was a Soul Train dancer and he's the one who taught Michael Jackson to moon walk..he did it first. The female member, Jody Watley, went solo and had a great career with some big hits.
My favorite Amerie song that Richcraft beat was incredible! You should lister her first two albums fam. If you like this one.. She did a joint with LL called Paradise, but it was her first banger "Why Don't We Fall In Love...followed by "Talkin' To Me" that were bangers.
@@indigenousslag3340 I’m glad you assume I’m a “Beyoncé boot licker“ but you know what assuming does right moron? Secondly you are voicing your opinion, you are foolishly ignorant and wrong. You can’t say someone is first when the FACT is that the other person did it FISRT. FYI Beyoncé isn’t my favorite, I don’t consider her the greatest thing ever, and I’m not a member of that pathetic beyhive. You’re just mad because someone showed you how stupid you are, and how much you can’t even think without bringing her up. Lastly since it’s apparent you’re an idiot, I suggest you sue your educational system because it obviously failed you.
He got really good catch on what he heard somewhere else before that sound familiar, because it helped our mind bring back our memories, like : “it sound familiar?” or “do I heard this song familiar somewhere else before?” 🤔🧐
The way she came out with this song and a couple of others... I thought she was going to have a lot more hits. Beyonce's style was influenced by Amerie.. and songs where produced by the same producer Rich Harrison. So when you said I thought Beyonce sung this... that is part of the reason why.
I’m glad other people know the whole Beyoncé taking amerie style. There’s lil documentaries on it. Of course Beyoncé marks will just defend because it’s her without looking into it first
One of my favorite ❤ She is soooo under rated😢 I bought All her music back in the day. There is definitely controversy out there saying Beyonce stole her sound and style. Which I can definitely agree on...You should react to " Why don't we fall in love" by her. All the songs on her CDs are really good. For some reason they didn't show Aamarie much luv💘 in the United States 🇺🇲 I don't know why. I think it was because they were trying to push Beyonce back then. I remember going to London in my early 20s around the time when "1 thing" came out and this song is all you would hear in the club, at the malls, restaurants etc, they loved her over there. Such a talented artist that got pushed to the side, for no reason😔
Yes young grasshopper, this song by Amerie was a jam! The percussion arrangement in this song is the Go-Go style. She debuted during the same time as Rihanna but she didn't ascend to the heights like Rihanna. This is a shame because she can really perform as easily as Beyonce. There is a song that you should react to by Amerie "Why don't we fall in love". It was a summer jam back in the day.
This song and gold digger were top of the charts when I turned 18. I will always love this song. However. One of my friends said to me when she says nah nah nah nah oh she heard gobble gobble gobble. And I can't unhear it hahahaha
I love Amerie's music. Her first 2 albums are classics to me. This song was on the second album. Please react to her songs "Why Don't We Fall In Love" and "Touch". P.S. - you're one of the first people to react to her music so I hope you check out more of her work.
Nah man she put this sound on the map for us I'm from DC this sound come from DC it's called go go music and I got so much love for this lady right here but they took that sound from her and ran with it she's not from DC she was discovered in DC but that's messed up how they did her the industry she was representing for us hard though bro so she bought our sound to the industry because she was discovered here in DC 100% facts her biggest hit ever bro
It's not that she sounds like Beyonce. This is the same producer from "Crazy In Love." Rich Harrison (I think is his name) is from DC and used a lot of Go-Go in his music.
