Ameriie Explains New Blonde Hair

Published: Tuesday 7th Sep 2010 by Sam

Ameriie‘s new platinum mane had many a tongue wagging yesterday. Speaking with our friends over at Rap-Up, the 30 year old revealed the inspiration behind her new look.

Her comments after the jump…

“I’ve always wanted to go platinum blonde, and I figured I’d finally just do it. One of the things that inspired me are photos I’ve seen of children in the Solomon Islands. They are very brown-skinned, and a lot of them grow white-blonde hair naturally. The contrast in dark skin tone and extremely light hair is really beautiful to me. So I just went for it!” {Source}

Ok then…

In other Amerie news, she continues to record her new LPCymatika Vol. 1‘, which is due in stores next year.

  4. truthfully September 7, 2010

    I agree with the first comment….dont like the hair…maybe she feels she needs to do this to stay relevent and sell.

  5. Kendra September 7, 2010

  6. Dave September 7, 2010

  7. BENJAMIN September 7, 2010

  8. Mary September 7, 2010

    Is it just me or this chic kinda resembles Ms. Bee with the new blonde hair? hmm…

    I DON’T THINK IT’S THE BLONDE THAT LOOKS BAD IT’S THE FACT THAT IT’S SOME CHEAP PEROXIDE LOOK, IF SHE GOT IT DONE PROPERLY IT’D PROBABLY SUIT HER.
    I CAN’T WAIT FOR HER ALBUM “IN LOVE AND WAR” WAS SO UNDERRATED.

    P.S PLEEEEEASE….AMERIIE IS WAY BETTER LOOKING THAN BEYONCE, COMPARED TO AMERIE BEYONCE LOOKS LIKE A FAT DRAG QUEEN LOL <3

    Amerie is just attention seeking now. I used to LOVE her because she was so different from everyone else. SHE LOOKS LIKE A TWAT

  11. ~TeAM WeeZY~ September 7, 2010

    I hate the color, but I think the way she has it styled is what really makes it look a mess!

  12. dillpickle September 7, 2010

    yikes!

  13. STFU September 7, 2010

    The first three times I saw this picture I thought it was Keyshia Cole…just saying

  14. ~TeAM WeeZY~ September 7, 2010

    @Futurestardelux

    Yeah, you’re right Amerie looks better, but compared to Beyonce, Amerie’s success looks like pennies in a paper cup.

  15. JanetSTAN September 7, 2010

    YAY. I love how international she becoming &I love the new sound

  16. Daseekah September 7, 2010

    She looks a MESS

  17. Celeb Psych September 7, 2010

    @benjamin …agreed

    it will be interesting to see her play with this look though … dont forget homegirl does have style

  18. Chile Please! September 7, 2010

    I love love Looooooooooooooooooooooooove Amerie…but honey that blond hair is not for everyone. BTW I’m sooooooooo upset that “Love & War” didn’t go anywhere. I swear that album was sooooooooooo hot. It’s a shame how talented artist like Amerie doesn’t get any play. SMH!!

  19. jeremydante September 7, 2010

    first beyonce did this dry ass look for cadillac records, then keri hilson dried her s*** up too. & now amerie? & she tries to say that she was inspired by children from the solomon islands. B****! you was checking when misa hylton-brim styled faith, kim & mary back in the 90’s & wanted to f*** with that look. amerie doesnt sell records for a reason, she is as dry as that blonde hair on her head.

    over & out.

  20. FUTURESTARdelux September 7, 2010

    @TEAMWEEZY YEAH AMERIE MAY HAVE ONLY A FRACTION OF BEYONCE’S SUCCESS BUT THE SUCCESS AMERIE HAS IS FROM HER OWN EFFORTS NOT STEALING AND UNDERCOVER BITCHERY LIKE B AND AMERIE IS ALSO AN INTELIGENT WOMEN LOL

    P.S YOU DO ALL REALISE THAT BEYONCE DIDN’T INVENT THAT RIGHT? ETTA JAMES HAD IT FIRST.

  21. Dave September 7, 2010

    I swear y’all kill me. Because she tried to change her hair color she’s copying & seeking attention. So if I wanted to change my hair colors for years, & one artist in the music industry did it before me, & I do it years later , i’m copying & i’m seeking attention? GTFO! She can do whatever she want, & She did it. Doesn’t mean she’s seeking attention. I don’t see her out whoring about every blog, she’s barely on blogs. If anything she’s just doing what she wants w/ her living, happy w/ her hubby & making great music.

    & after it’s all said & done.

    Amerie’s looks >> Beyonce’s
    Amerie’s swag >> Beyonce’s
    Beyonce’s success >>> Amerie’s
    Amerie being a critically acclaimed artist >>> Beyonce
    Amerie’s music & quality of it >>> Beyonce’s

    @ the end of the day I don’t think Amerie is too pressed about Beyonce because most of her goals have been accomplished, 1 lose is not gonna kill her. & it’s PLATINUM BLONDE, not just any blonde. BEYONCE DOESN’T HAVE PLATINUM BLONDE, & neither did or does Keri hilson. Beyonce through on a blonde wig for a movie role, bye! Amerie’s is more vibrant & colorful, & it’s in a different hair style (longer w/ curls).

  22. Call On Me September 7, 2010

    She looks R****** cheap and that’s hard for a non-s**** to pull off!

  23. the thoughts of… September 8, 2010

    Not feeling the new look…still love her music!

  24. lolaaa September 8, 2010

    the lighting in the foto kina sucks, so it may look really nice in person. the right side looks really good.

  25. nayah82 September 8, 2010

    She has such of flawless skin. Why mess that beautiful face with blonde hair.

  26. KD September 9, 2010

    Wow FUTURESTARDELUX is one pressed hater…Do you seriously have nothing better to do than to hate on Beyonce…and the fact that you’re a guy makes it even more sad…I believe the term F** was coined specifically for you. Grow some balls dude and stop bitching about someone who is richer, hotter and happier than your crazed hating ass. F****** Queen.

  27. Bee December 20, 2010

    love amerie that’s my girl and her blonde hair needs to be longer and some honey and strawberry lowlights
