I think Amerie is a good all around entertainer & song writer. 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.
