Amerie - 1 Thing

Seriously, people are going nuts over this song and I just don't get it. Typical Rich Harrison recycled beat, but no melody, and her voice is just.....UGH! Is her first album a lot better than this?

FINALLY!! someone agrees w/ me!!

I really can't get into this song..and I don't understand the HYPE. It really is annoying to tell the truth...especially, when she starts that " GOBBLE, GOBBLE..GOBBLE"

What is up w/ that? Thanksgiving is a long way off.

Is she getting all the attention, jus cuz she has long hair and and exotic look. I'm so sick and tired of that bias

It's a club-begining of spring type song. Alot of folks are in that type of mood hence it's popularity. You know not to expect to much from a song like this so you just shake your butt the beat.

Her fist album as "faux neo soul", She was like the first manufactured neo soul artist, which I guess is a good sign for the genre. She didn't write or produce anything on her album it was all written and produced by Rich Harrison

nod Agreed. Her song is irritating as fuck. When I first heard this song, I was like WTF. Then, I happen to turn on the tele and the video is even worse then the damn triflin song b/c you see this non-talented singing broad on the screen and you want to tell her to stfu. Whoever made that song and video needs to be pimp2 slapped.

her first album didn't sound anything like Neo-soul to me....more along the lines of Ashanti,Beyonce,Brandy,Monica etc... but I never got a neo soul vibe from it..."Why can't we fall in love" and "Talkin to me[i] were aiight back then considering Ashanti when her 1st album was out...so I usually root for the underdog anyway...but as far as her new song goes...kind of works my nerves.

I like the song. Her voice can get to a place where it gets a little pitchy but the groove of the song is hot. U cant help but dance. And shes so fly, u cant help but look at her. Amarie is a hottie!

well to be honest to me, this song reminds me of her whole first album. Most of the songs sounded the same, and she sang them all in the same boring note. The album was not bad, just repetitive, although i did like "talkin to me" and "why can't we fall in love". No it isn't neo soul, just recycled R&B, the usual, but she is much more bearable than Ashanti...
I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince.

NOOOO. This song is a jam and a half. When it comes on, I start wiggling. Amerie DESERVES the success.

You know it's a hit when you see mature people dancing to it in the streets and you hear it as the ringtone on a cell phone.

Go Amerie.

I LIKE HER!!! AMERIE STAYS...FOREVER!!

She can sing damn better then the majority of other r&B chics that are out now like Brooke Valentine, Olivvia, even Ciarra (and I like her too dammit)!!!

Her 1st album sounded like a bunch of leftover Mary J songs, but dammit, the songs were cute so IT WAS GOOD in comparison to other albums that were out at the time!!

She's a beautiful girl who has the vocal ability that tops and with a little bit more vocal training she'll be able to knock Beyonce out!!

AND I LOOOOOVE THE VIDEO! woot! It's one of the best videos that are out right now! Besides JLo's video but Im mad at that heffa for the fur shit right now so scratch her! mad

AMERIE STAYS!!

And yes it took a awhile for the song to grow on me now I enjoy it. tease
peace & wildsign

I'm with you. The melody is so different and cool. Those drums are insane. Plus, she's hot as hell! The "Crazy In Love" of this year.

I like the song. It's a feel good song.The drums makes the song for me plus I actually like her voice. I don't think she sounds like Ashanti or anyone of those non-singing hacks out there. I brought her first CD and I liked it, especially Why Don't We Fall In Love and Talkin' To Me. I hope she blows up in 05.
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

Yeah, the song truly is garbage. But, the video is hot as hell...although the choreography is some shit I've never seen.

and laughed at by the Gods

I like this song. It's a club pleaser for sure. One of my friend's thought it was annoying at first too, but it's grown on her now...give it some time. It will be a guilty pleasure
