I think she needs to hook up with new prouducers and record a few more songs and then release it. shes also not marketed well. i really want her to succeed so i hope she hasnt been dropped!!! im a huge amerie fan..but its true because i love it was not all that great, i listened to the album and only liked a handful of songs which was wierd for me.

I live in aTL & I can't understand WHY Amerie is not as big of a star as Beyonce [not to draw comparisons]. <br/><br/>She did have her biggest U.S. hit to date back in 2005, "One Thing"...then after that, it seems like her album was deflated. I really liked her first album...but her second album was not the best --- I only found maybe 3 tracks listenable.<br/><br/>I accidentally came across "Because I Love It" thru youTube & wikipedia a few months ago & have since downloaded most of the album. In my opinion, the album has SOOOO much to offer as far as R&B music is concerned.<br/><br/>I think that here in the US, so much emphasis is put on an artist "crossing over" to the point where the base genre is completely neglected. "Because I Love It" is pure R&B that would appeal to a wide range of urban genres. A few tracks have that hip-soul feel, while others are airy with 80's inspired themes. <br/><br/>The record label doesn't know how to market her here in the US without trying to make her crossover into a more pop-based sound.<br/><br/>Its a shame really....I hope it sees the light of day.

I think that here in the US, so much emphasis is put on an artist “crossing over” to the point where the base genre is completely neglected. “Because I Love It” is pure R&B that would appeal to a wide range of urban genres. A few tracks have that hip-soul feel, while others are airy with 80’s inspired themes.

The record label doesn’t know how to market her here in the US without trying to make her crossover into a more pop-based sound.

Its a shame really….I hope it sees the light of day.

It is a shame americans don't get kelis or amerie among a million other artist and singles. it’s always a mystery why some songs don’t become hits in America while they blow up overseas.

Think the thing about Amerie is shes real and actually comes accross a real nice person where as others have to make up stupid publicity storys about jay z throwing them out of windows...! I like watching her interviews and hearing what book shes reading and that she love computer games.<br/>I love love love Amerie but dont think it was an amazing album but i think she without a doubt makes the most out of what she has to work with (production wise). Think with the right production team the skys the limit. I do love her voice and think shes a great performer.

She is very marketable. They just don't know how to market her. I've seen her early this year in DC, she put on a whole set, singing, dancers & interacting wit the audience. Her last 2 albums was good, just lack of promotion and the same goes for the new one. The album was good, it was something different to the table, when you are an artist you want to be creative do things others dont do. In the US people like to hear the same stuff over & over and it gets boring. Why overseas she doing well. Amerie has the skills, the label just like someone said gives better promotion to one artist.
