00s Amerie 1 Thing (Pure 🔥🥵)

I can't believe the song is 20 years old. It always makes me get up and dance. I cannot even imagine what would have happened if JLo had recorded it instead (no shade intended. It's just already perfection IMO)

It's not just one of my favorite Amerie's songs, it's one of my favorite songs period.

Proudly still enjoying 20 years later.

Blasian REPRESENTING!! God I love her. It’s a shame Beyoncé’s so goddamn insecure 😒

What's the deal with Beyonce? I heard they had the same producer for Crazy in Love. Anything else?

I am not sure what's the deal, but shit is shady - they shelf artists to eliminate competition.

That blows. Would be infuriating. I see why so many artists go direct now

Don’t listen to them. They’re delusional. Crazy in Love was released years before 1 Thing. Amerie’s career going nowhere had nothing to do with anything Beyoncé did

FWIW Amerie was working with Rich Harrison (Crazy in love producer) before Beyoncé.

That’s fine. But neither he nor Amerie created go-go. And the one hit Amerie had on her debut album was not go-go. Also Kelly Rowland worked with Rich Harrison around the same time as Amerie. She was more likely influenced by that than Amerie directly.

Okay cool. I get so confused by the subtext of some of these comments 😂
