This has been posted and discussed before. I think Amerie is talented but most women that try to cover this song don't hae the presence to pull it off.
Come to think of it, we don't have a "Vanity" or a Vanity 6 type(s) in music right now. Amerie is closer to Aalyiah in her presence than Vanity. "Nasty Girl" seems out of character for her. Hmmm. Music needs a pretty, freaky chick right about now. | |

I remain unconvinced. She comes off as a "nice girl" putting on a front, IMO. Vanity oozes sex. Hell, Susan oozed sex, too. Amerie is talented but in my opinion is too girlish to pull off the grown n' sexy thing. She seems like more of a serious singer. Vanity always came off as more about the seduction than the vocals and that was her strength. | |

These performers spend half their time on stage asking the audience to get excited rather than actually doing things to earn the excitement. In the middle of the verse shouting out "All my ladies scream!". Bitch, you meant to be working for them, not asking them to cover for your whack ass. “The man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them, inasmuch as he who knows nothing is nearer to truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors.”

Me either. I have no idea how this chick even has a career. Firstly .. y? Her last album was one of the most criically acclaimed R&B albums of the last year .. Urban CD Amerie, Because I Love It **** (RCA) Alex Macpherson Friday May 11, 2007 The Guardian http://music.guardian.co....84,00.html Amerie, Because I Love It Buy Because I Love It now It would be no exaggeration to call Amerie one of the greatest singers in pop music. Her vocal performances are extraordinary: she catches the fleeting thrills and momentary rushes of intensity that permeate otherwise mundane days, and stretches those feelings out across four-minute songs without ever letting up. Every word is delivered as if she is utterly consumed in the moment; the result is heady and intoxicating. On her third album - her first without long-time producer Rich Harrison - she uses that voice to full effect on her most consistently excellent set of songs to date. Take Control is a perfect example: it twitches and jerks along a nagging Tom Zé sample, but it's a song with such a sparse arrangement that interest has to be sustained entirely by the voice, which Amerie does spectacularly, making it absolutely clear who is really cracking the whip. Elsewhere, Some Like It kicks off with the couplet, "Whatcha gon' do when A catches an attitude? Drop to your knees and show gratitude", and manages to get even better, while the Supremes chug of Make Me Believe and the crunk frenzy of Losing U are also stellar. The album's pinnacle comes with the beautifully restrained Crush, on which Amerie delivers a magnificently controlled and exquisitely tender performance over perfectly placed drum fills and synths which burst out of the arrangement like fireworks. Spectacular work. and the girl defintely can sing see here http://youtube.com/watch?v=ExPn16048Kw | |

I just love her.  And I would love it if she DIDNT cover that song because I was made to cover that song  But she's still ma gurl! &  | |

I think Nicole Schdfkdkjh from PCD can pull this song off. She oozes sass & sex appeal plus she looks akin to Vanity too IMO. love is a fate resigned memories mar my mind love it is a fate resigned Over futile odds and laughed at by the Gods and now the final frame Love is a losing game | |

That being said, she is a beautiful girl, at least...which makes her a good peg for the pop machine I suppose, and I do have to give it to to the sistah for having a bad ass pair of legs   | |

I never thought of that before but you're so right about that. 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 | |

See, that backs up exactly what I was saying. She is talented. She is pretty. She is...my little sister? Nothing about her says sex. I mean, she's hot and all but she projects a vibe that is more "wifey" than "mistress". Its not just her. Most of the music business has become so PG-13 its disgusting. I'm a grown ass man. Entice me. Say some dirty shit. The only ones doing that are ones I don't want to hear the shit from - like Lil Kim.  Today's female singers are all about being "independent women" or whining about how some man did them wrong. That shit is tired. Even that pseudo-submissive song is unconvincing, although its a step in the right direction. Amerie still has a nice girl vibe to her.
Off the top of my head, I think the last enticing song I heard was this: http://youtube.com/watch?v=m5dlzo_C2K4 Most music these days are marketed towards 15-25 year old women, and most of the songs reflect that. Because of this, the sensuality is lost because its looked upon as being demeaning these days for women to be...like Vanity. The subtle art is lost. Its either raunch like Lil Kim or pop tarts that spout nothing and don't seem to mean it when they do. Business has sucked the fun out of the music industry. | |

Who's talking raunch? I'm just talking music geared towards adults instead of pre and post teens.
Amerie is a pretty woman. She is talented. She should be up there with a lot of the other more popular peers of hers but for some reason, the public is not grasping onto her they way one would expect. With all that being said, "Nasty Girl" loses a lot coming from Amerie. Off the top of my head, i can't think of a singer right now who's out that can pull it off. In truth, she SHOULDN'T be trying to pull it off but rather trying to pop into the void Aalyiah left. So far, she's the closest, in my opinion. A couple of tracks with Timbaland might blow her up to where she needs to be. [Edited 3/12/08 11:22am] | |

Oh how I long for another Vanity. That woman's all-out sex appeal and charisma is unmatched!

To an extent. The troupe did start out as a burlesque act that got carried over into the music field. Their material, however, isn't as exploringly raunchy as Vanity 6's (at least what was considered raunchy for their time). Nicole is a nice visual front woman, but she lacks a certain pizazz about herself, which is evident in how lackluster her solo effort panned out. Plus they sing songs about love, something V6 would never do

[HELL NO. The Pussycat Dolls are the Spice Girls for adults except for one thing - you only really know the lead chick Nicole. They were marketed as a package of women with only one head. The only thing they have in common are the sexy songs but even within that, they are far more pop than Vanity 6 was. Vanity 6 was an R&B act. I can't picture Nicole doing Nasty Girl because she's still girlish, too. | |

Well everyone should pick up "Because I love it" by Amerie, the best thing that didnt happen in MAINSTREAM RB last year. Amerie pulled off something that hasnt happend since Aaliyahs last studio record, an interesting, holds your interest, rb mainstream female record.
