She’s so pretty

Its ok nothing i’ll really bump to on my ipod but she looks pretty

i agree… howevever, this new album is really something new and fresh… our culture, im sure, won’t grasp it as quick because its not a typical booty shakin talking about fancy cars and clothes and things… but its really an artistic record with Great songs… its an 80’s feel that is consistent throught and i’m very proud that she’s not afraid to step out and try new things… some favs from the album are “Crush” “Crazy Wonderful” and “Losing U”… she’s doin the damn thing…

i like this record alot! Amerie is a very talented artist!!

i agree it’s aight.i’m shocked cause i’m a Amerie fan.The video’s nice and she looks great …but i hope she comes a lil’ better in the next.

rolls eyes…. Amerie you aren’t “working hard for it” this time… please try again

I love my Amerie, but I gotta say she is still on her neutral phase. Nothing standing about this, but then again what could she possibly do?

This song is great, but it’s really a “warm up” compared to what Amerie can really do.

As of now, she is my favorite artist ever, and both of her CDs were great (”All I Have” is my favorite record of all time). What I love about Amerie is that she is “well-rounded” artist. She can do the pop songs, she can do the slow songs, and she can do songs like this and still sound great. She writes and co-produces many of her songs. You never know what to expect from her because she is always switching up her sound. Her music is truly artistic and definitely what an artist should be.

I’ve been hearing nothing but good things about her new album. I can’t wait to get it!

Has she decided not to try to be a star in the US cause if so she is really succeeding.

she looks good in the video very sexy, nd the video is hot. that said u would think it will be #1 cept i just dont c this becomin a hit single or video.myb on 106 nd park for a week but not trl. nd it does kinda remind me of “1Thing” I think she should do a ballad nxt time not dis. nd wat da hell was her frst song?

I could have done more with it but I still love her….

…no one sounds like her which makes her material unique

…..I just got her album on import (Best Buy) and it covers R&B from the 60’s/70’s/80’s/90’s/Now I really like it a lot

….Brian I understand where your coming from but its just different because she wrote everything on this album and Rich Harrison is not on any song at all…..it just is a different sound for her and it takes some repeat listening because I didn’t like her stuff either until I sat at work and listened to it and was like…..”Damn this is hot.”

Amerie doesn’t sing, she screams….
Nice video/message though, I could workout to it…
GOTTTA WORK HARD 4 IT!!!!

*i ment not a song lik dis nxt time

I am not feeling this, nor the album. I am a big Amerie fan… but I feel she is missing the mark completely this time around.

Wow…this is damn near a “1 thing” remix..I don’t like it..but shes pretty tho! She’s really pretty.. I hear shes trying to add a little “flav” to her singing style but her voice still sounds as if she sucks helium out baloons before grabbing the mic.

This shit is weaker than a flat SODA! My Girl A Don’t got it nomore…

she needs a shot of coke or something…very lackluster

i just don’t like the music she is putting out i can’t really get into it or dance to it

but she does look fab in the video

CUTE VIDEO. NO HOMO!

…….Really Give This Album a Listen:

1.Forecast (Intro) -[90s/Now]
2.Hate 2 Love U -[Go Go]
3.Some Like It -[80s]
4.Make Me Believe -[60s]
5.Take Control -[60s/90s/Now]
6.Gotta Work(This Video) -[60s/Go Go]
7.Crush -[70s/80s]
8.Crazy Wonderful -[70s/80s]
9.Thats What U R -[Now] ***The #2 song on the album (Hot 2 Death)
10.When Loving You Was Easy -[90s/Now]
11.Paint Me Over -[90s/Now] ***The #1 song on the album (Beautiful “All I Have” quality)
12.Somebody Up There -[90s/Now]
13.All Roads -[80s/90s] ***Really nice but I would have taken “Streets Alone” go to YouTube to hear that jam!

The video is real bland…she has good vocals her songs are just blah…smh but she looks real nice though

Why are you guys so negative about this woman? If you read all of the blogs about Amerie, they are filled with negativity.

….But if you look through any blog about Chris Brown or any other teenybopper bubblegum singer, you’d see mountains of praise.

There is something really, really wrong, here…

i cant pinpoint what i like about amerie, but i like her

this video and even the song are one thing part twos

from the horns in the track

to the dance steps, drummers, backround, etc in the video

i cant believe she didnt feel like this before releasing it

maybe she wanted to stick to the formula that gave her her major hit

who knows

i dont think there is any particular negativity towards amerie adrian

all ppl have said is that they do not like her singing-screaming sttyle (which beyonce has now adopted)

and that she is not very creative as evident from the video epecially

uh uhh

@24
I understand, I would have gone with a different approach as well I would have actually picked another song (Paint Me Over) (That’s What U R) that sound nothing remotely close to Go-Go so people won’t think she’s repeating herself (like now).

I love this song!!!!! It actually has a really positive message and a good beat. Out of all the songs that Amerie has released recently, this is the best song next to One Thing.

Ho hum….
I guess if Rhianna and drop an album or two, so can she.

Amerie is a beautiful girl with a cool voice, and I’m digging the song. BUT this video is boring boring boring, typical, easy and predictable.

I am not feeling this, nor the album. I am a big Amerie fan… but I feel she is missing the mark completely this time around.

>>>>>>> I thought I was the only Amerie fan who didn’t like the album. I think “Touch” is her best, “All I Have” close second. This new album didn’t cut it for me.

I’ve Loved Amerie since “Why don’t we fall in love.” She definitely doesn’t have the strongest voice out there, but I Ike it. She looks beautiful, but the video is nothing we haven’t seen before. The lyrics to this song are so true.

Amerie is a very beautiful girl, but her music these days is blah compared to when she first came out. It’s like she still riding the coat tails of “One thing.” Give it up and switch your sound up. I’m not saying that she has to sell out to sell records, but she should give her fans relevent music instead of this outdated 60’s genre she’s trying to do.

i like the song, it has a good message to it. don’t dig the video though, wish it was something different. im tired of all the ‘green screen’ effected video, its all so boring.

i’m feeling this shit for some reason, it’s not the best but far from th worst, yeah she needs a solid game plan and vocal lessons but i’ll try and hear some of rest before i buy it or have to download it illegally lol

i’m sorry but her music used to be a lot more creative. i remember when “why don’t we fall in love” came out. the beat was refreshing compared to the garbage that was selling big at the time. lately, i haven’t been feeling her music much though. it seems like she’s lost that spark. idk

Yeah I understand where EVERYONE is coming from but her whole album is not weak…..

……here are some “Americanized” tracks that our black gossipers would like from the album (that don’t sound like ‘1 Thing’):
In order from best to ‘least’ best lol:

1.Paint Me Over
2.That’s What U R
3.When Loving You Was Easy
4.Somebody Up There
5.Crazy Wonderful
6.Crush
7.Some Like It
8.All Roads…..

LMAO @ SCREAM SHOUTING SINGING???? IT’S CALLED BELTING PEOPLE. THE PROBLEM WITH AMERIE,SHE TRIES TO BELT OUT HIGH NOTES,THAT ARE WAY OUT OF HER RANGE,SHE’S NOT A BELTER LIKE JHUD OR BEYONCE,SO WHEN SHE DOES TRIES TO BELT, IT SOUNDS STRAINED AND SCRATCHY. AMERIE NEEDS TO GO BACK TO MELLOW,LAID BACK SING AND MELODIC MUSIC SHE STARTED OFF,COZ THIS WHOLE AGRESSIVE AND BELTING STYLE ISN’T FOR HER. PLUS THIS VIDEO IS ALRIGHT, IT’S LIKE A STEP DOWN FROM THE 1 THING VIDEO.

She looks FAB as always…I feel kinda bad that I don’t really remember the FIRST single lol…ie: her Marketing team needs to get on their GRIND…

This song sounds lik 1 Thing. I like her as an artist, but this is real lackluster.

I hate to be the repeat poster on this subject but once again:

1.Rich Harrison is no where to be found on this album…(like Kelis and the Neptunes)

2.Rich Harrison WROTE and PRODUCED every single lyric and beat that Amerie ever sang or sang on.

3.Amerie wrote/co-wrote every song on this new album

4.She apparently isn’t a good writer…..according to some posters

5.There’s about 12 different producers on this album and once again NONE of them are Rich Harrison

6.Therefore…..”Gotta Work” and “Hate 2 Love U” (the two tracks on the album that adopt the “Go-Go” “Rich Harrison” style were obviously requested by Ms. Mi Marie herself like Kelis’ songs “Trilogy”, “Goodbyes”, and “Living Proof” that all sound like they could have been pulled from Pharrell and Chad’s scrotums manually)

7.Everybody doesn’t like the same things and I would just hate for her album (and career) buzz to plummet because of dissaproval.So someone needs to make a call to keep her career alive apparently…..

8.Rihanna is a robot…..

I Love the song. But it’s something about Amerie that make you love her and the song WHILE it’s playing and then forget about the song/Amerie as soon as it goes off. I already forgot how the song sounds and I just listened to it

Amerie did the same thing Brandy did with “Full Moon” If it ain’t broke why try to fix it.

Amerie and Rich Harrison had a chemistry that was HOT!!!!! I used to love Amerie. I agree “All I Have” was a great album. “Touch” was hot too!!! “Because I Love It?”….. I DON’T!!!!!!!!

She is trying to take it to another level and I can’t except it!!! The album is a headache all way through!! Her voice seems like she’s rushing to sing the songs. I love Amerie but she is losing a fan in me with this new album!!!

SHE GOTTA WORK HARDER CUS THIS WAS THE WACKEST SHIT I EVER HEARD

SOUNDS LIKE “ITS JUST ONE THING”

Correction…..

The same thing Brandy did with “Afrodisic” I didn’t like her with Timbaland!!!

Full Moon was Brandy’s best album! Amerie need to get Rich Harrison and scrap “Because I Love It” and start over.

I read Amerie was mad that Rich gave Beyonce her sound (Crazy In Love, Freekum Dress) but anyone who knows R&B knows that Beyonce took Amerie sound!!!

She’s a beautiful girl!!

But my favorite part was the end when the beat was just playing!!

And thats sad!!

And how many times can you kick your legs in one video!! DAMN!!!

I actually like the video and the song. It does put you in the mind of “1 Thing” though. I agree with many others on this post, Amerie had “excellent” chemistry with Rich Harrison! I also heard that she wanted to switch producers because of Rich working with another female artist that had reportedly stolen her “sound.” In a way I can understand where she’s coming from. When she came out with her music it was different. No one else’s music had sound like hers at the time. She wanted to set herself apart from other female artists. Just like Janet Jackson had her own “sound” when she was working with Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, Amerie wanted her own “sound” too. I do hope she decides to work with Rich Harrison again in the future. Maybe she just wants to try something else that’s different right now.

Amerie is one of my fav artists. I like this song, if anything the energy and tempo of the song is reminiscent of ‘one thing’ but not the song itself, and I thought the video was nice. She got a little more crrunk in this video.

I KIND OF LIKE AMERIE VIDEO. IT WOULD BE GOOD TO SEE ANOTHER SIDE OF HER. IT SEEM TO ME THAT TALENT IS NOT SO IMPORTANT NOW A DAYS IN MUSIC. IT LOOKS! THINK ABOUT MOST CELEBRITIES TODAY THEY’RE MAKING IT ON LOOKS! IF SOMEONE LOOK CUTE, THEY TAKE THEM AND TRY TO MAKE AND MODE THEM INTO SOMETHING THERE NOT, JUST TO MAKE MONEY

I HAVE TO AGREE. I LOVE HER LOOK I THINK SHE IS BEAUTIFUL, BUT HER STYLE OF MUSIC IS DULL AND REDONDANT. I’VE SEEN THIS BEFORE. IF NOT FROM HER I’VE SEEN IT FROM BEYONCE.ALTHOUGH I LOVE BEE I DONT WANT TO PUT HER ON A PEDASTOOL, EVEN THOUGH SHE ALREADY ON ONE,BUT PEOPLE SEE WHAT SHE DOES WORKS FOR HER AND THEY TRY TO REENACT HER STYLE AND IT ENDS UP LIKE THAT.I WISH THAT AMERIE COULD GET WITH A NEW TEAM SO THAT THEY COULD LEAD HER IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION BECAUSE BEFORE SHE KNOWS IT HER CAREER IS GONNA BE OVER ITS ALREADY STARTING TO DESINERGRATE.

It does remind me of 1 Thing just a lil bit better (I Wasn’t a Fan of That Song). I was kind of waiting for a “Na, Na, Na, Na, Oh” Too similar. Luv her look though. She looks a lil different, she reminds me of that singer Deemi.

yeah the shorts, heels, all legs very familiar but I love the song and Amerie so I can overlook all of that

by the by check out Alice Smith she’s just as fly: http://www.alicesmith.com/

EH…

amerie looks diffrent

beyonce does it way better than her =) copy cat or not, all that matters is if it works for u and it doesnt for her, so NEXT!

Not feelin it… but I have never been a fan. Just some people don’t do it for my ears…she doesn’t. Typical video too…

Looks Very Different @ #54

Didn’t ya’ll get this from the ahotmess blog? I think that they had the exclsuive on this and ya’ll didn’t give them credit.

Anyway, I hate this video…just a bunch of prety women dancing and…well, that’s about it.

Did She Get Plastic Surgery?!!!!

I had to look again?

Looks like she trying to appear to an audience outside of the blacks…. looking more asian now then before?! JMO

is it just me or is this the same video and baseline as “1 thing”? maybe she can get her job on The Center back… that was the highlight of her career.

If u look at her “One thing” video and compare it to this one ull see that she totally got cheek bone implants and her nose done. She’s fucking up her face just like LIL KIM. Hollywood really plays a mindtrip on these poor young women.

@ 54 welllll she had a nose job just like some other hollywood people. just go back and look at her “talkin’ to me” video and u can see the difference

Ok, I have never been a fan of amerie. Yes, she does scream instead of sing. But i will give props where props are due and say that i agree that her screaming was definelty different than what was out then. I will also agreed that miss bey did in fact use, steal, copy,…..ameries style. the major difference b/w the 2 is that bey can actually (as #37 put it) belt. lol. Amerie should have put out a slow song this time just so she wont get the reverse sydrome. Yous know exactly what that is… Its when Beyonce steals another artist shit, whether it be style, credits for writing a song, etc….. and puts her spin to it and calls it her own, then ppl accuse the original artist of trying to be like her.

Yeah this is one time that i can say that i agree with the plastic surgery speculation. her face does look mighty thick for her to be that anorexic looking. Didn’t her nose look a little pinched before?

the next best thing for her to do is to be on someones record screaming the hook. her and diddy should make a song together. Or maybe she should just pull a Mel B. and have some suckers baby. that way she’d be set!!

I love Amerie. However, I wasn’t feeling this video treatment. Why didn’t the video feature a variety of individuals overcoming everyday obstacles or “working hard” towards a goal? Also, the video could of had a treatment showing the crap people have to deal with at their jobs and how they overcome these issues. Ameire should have a contest for fans to come up with her video treatments; this is the second video from her upcoming album that leaves fans saying “What??”.

I think artist should go back to the tradition of taking three to four (or five for some artist) year breaks in between their albums. Remember when all artist use to do this? Now it just seems like the ones with common sense take this approach. When an artist does this, they tend to have more experiences to use as writing material for songs. Also, these breaks allowed more originality and creativity from the artist.
It just seems to me that these record companies are pressuring artist to produce “quickie” albums for quick dollars. As a result, the quality of music is downgraded and the artist comes off as overexposed and lackluster to the public.

I think Amerie and some other artist out there need to relax and live life. After some time off, and more life experiences to talk about, put out another album for the public to enjoy.

I am a fan of Amerie and have purchased her last two albums. I think she is beautiful and has a unique voice. However, I am still on the fence for “Because I Love It”.

Hey everybody…..

She didn’t get a nose job.. etc…. Its the make up…. make up artist can make her features look slightly different. That’s all… she the same ole Amerie.

>>>> Are you sure this is just make up? Cause I know make up does wonders but it has its limits. I don’t know, look at those two before and after pics and tell me what you think : http://www.makemeheal.com...mages/amerie-nose-job.jpg

DISCLAIMER : before some of y’all sensitive behinds misunderstand what I said, don’t read too much into the “make up does wonders” thing, it’s just some expression, I didn’t imply that a thinner nose was better, just that make up can completely change your looks, naa mean…

yea she did get a nose job, it was too much of her black side shining through, but i dont think she looks that different here, its just the makeup, lighting and whatever editing crap they used for this video, and no she didnt get cheek implants! (im a plastic surgery expert!)
btw sucky vid and song

Amerie looks so beautiful in her video so none of ya’ll lames get on here postin’ comments about her video being wack just stop fuckin’ hatin’ these hoes these dayz hate so hard. But anywayz she looked dope in the video at least she ain’t got a whole bunch of weave in her hair like the rest of these video hoes. Anybody got a problem with my comment look me up BITCH!

1rstalbum from amerie was great, the second one was even better than the first so I thought by bying the 3rd cd that will be the bomb …hell no ..can I get a refund ?! very dissapointed …why rich Harrison did not produced this CD…she tried to be ” Avant garde” but I just don’t like this CD, and I have read some review from listenners who where saying the album is great .. I try h
