She then went on to sing Lose Control flawlessly. People that know me know what I do and what I sound like. The interviewer said that some people think that Beyonce stole some of her Amerie-isms especially on B’Day.Īmerie basically said I don’t think she stole them. She said she has no beef with Beyonce but a lot of people seem to think so. I also heard her just a few weeks ago in an interview and it seemed very similar to what you described about being baited into talking about-well specifically Beyonce. Sometimes too sweet for the music industry it seems but I think she’s a bit tougher than she may appear. But dont think you will catch Amerie talking trash in interviews, she is approaching 30 now and she doesnt roll like that she says, life's too short and "Beefs" are immature and stupid.Īmerie is a very sweet person. Amerie's new cd will be out Jan/Feb and she has been leaking tracks all over the place on Mix tapes, and one song is said to be a "Green Light" sounding song, as a shot at Mr. Harrison is gone from Ameries new cd and any tracks he did with her.
To this day i thought there was some sort of problem between Amerie and Beyonce but its not the case, the too have actually recently worked together, however, though Amerie doesnt state it, there is an issue with Producer Rich Harrison, who may have "lifted" her sound and given it too Beyonce for a bigger payday, which is why Mr. Knowles, possibly from Sony execs, who suggested a change of sound for Beyonce, Boom, there came " Crazy in Love" and then when Ameries "1 thing" was released after, she mainly looked like a follower, despite doing the track first and having a hand in alot of the sound. Well somehow these tracks got back to Mr.
AMERIE 1 THING SONGS SIMILAR BEYONCE GREEN LIGHT FULL
Well Rich took them to Sony and they were turned down, the reason being was that Sony wanted a full album not 2 tracks, but AMerie at the time wasnt finished fully, so rather than rush the rest of the tracks they sat on them, and leaked them underground, clubs, mixtapes etc. Now in case you all dont know, a few years back Rich Harrison and Amerie put together "1 thing" and "Talkin Bout" two very fresh sounding tracks at the time in the RB climate. But when she was talking i realized that there are alot of shady things going on with her former producer and Mr.Knowles. I didn't sample 'Green Light' to get at her, and I'm not going at Beyonce on the record.Well just caught some of an interview with Amerie, who I love, and mostly the interviewer was bating her into saying something bad about any other RB females, but of course she is mature unlike the interviewer or the magazine. Even on my mixtape, there isn't any other female's music being redone. I'm just going to say, I would never take a sample of any other female's music. It's so unecessary.Īmerie's reaction when she heard Beyonce's 'Green Light': I don't love rap beef, but I can understand it. 'You can't sing or dance like me!' That's so corny. This all I'm going to say about that: People are saying I've sampled 'Green Light' as a diss but I sampled myself from '1 Thing.' I don t think it's that big of a deal, anyway. John Legend had a songwriting thing, and I did an imaging and publicity class. It's like this Making of the Band-style show, where he's taking young singers through a boot camp, and every week a different recording artist offers expertise. I'm actually really cool with the Knowles family. In the new issue of XXL's Hip-Hop Soul magazine Amerie finally addresses the drama between her song "1 Thing" and Beyonce's "Green Light."Īmerie on how her song, "Because I Love You" claims Beyonce swagger jacked her style: Amerie dropped a mixtape that supposedly attacked Beyonce. Why this drama started up? Music heads feel that the songs are too similar in sound. The songs that stirred up the drama are Amerie's "1 Thing" and Beyonce's "Green Light." Amerie and Beyonce went head to head in song.
