Why All This Hype Over Amerie?

Really? Whats so special about the girl? Her voice sounds between Coko(SWV) and Mary J and they're treating her like the next Diana Ross or sumthing. I ain't putting this sistah down but 2 me her voice is sooo avarage.

She has a nice voice but it sounds alot like many of the female RnB singers 2day, nothing special. Now, Sharissa is the one that has something special lol she ain't measured as a hootie but she can blow with that voice,,,damn shame that Motown ain't supporting her.

She is a great studio singer and pretty too...but that is all she is. She cannot sing live. I saw her perform at the Soul Train Music Awards and I was not impressed at all. zzz

Yeeaah rolleyes how could you hear from her when her crew ain't backing her up?? she's a very good young RnB vocalist with a raspy voice that reminds you of Stephanie Mills and Gladys Knight.



She's the chic who sang "Any Other Night"

I just LOVE this song. I'm not sweatin' her at all. Btw, looking at her I just knew she was black and Asian, but I've heard that she's half Japanese, and I've heard that she is half Korean. Does anyone know which is true?

I like this chick. Don't sleep on her, she has skills. Most of the new singers people on this thread are comparing her to can't vocally stand up to her. Mark my words she is on the verge of being the next big thing, as soon as she fixes her stage performances.

yeah i heard Beyonce's lil sister on tv,singin live...
AWFUL!
thing is..ashanti...amerie...nivea...they all sound the same 2 me.
there is nothing extraordinarily different or unique here.
Amerie's "why dont we fall in love" is a great song!...
i dig that song...

& 2 show Australians will buy ANYTHING put out there.. "Paradise" has gone top5 here i think (or is that USA?...lookin' at the wrong chart maybe)
LL is my fave rapper,GOAT was killer,but TEN is just crap!

anyway,back on the female singers...
i hear Ashanti & Amerie for instance...i dont hear the big deal.
Mary J,i have never gotten in2 so i cant comment on her.

.

I wouldn't mention Mary J's name along these ladies in one breath cuz it ain't the way it suppose 2 be. Mary got her props from Stevie, Chaka, Aretha,,hell,,even Prince came 2 her concert! There's only one crown in this RnB/Hip Hop world and this crown belongs 2 ONLY one queen and that queen my friend is Mary J blige!

Amerie is great. She has a great voice and her album was underrated.

Talkin 2 Me is a wonderful song. Listen to that in a room all by yourself with your eyes closed and you'll see what I'm talkin about.

The thing that is great about her is that when she hits certain notes in her songs they touch your soul, that's why she's a great talent. Nuff said!
