Amerie Tiny Desk Concert

Damn, I haven't heard that name in over 15 years. It's like she disappeared off the face of the planet.
 
It was refreshing to see how she hasn’t deteriorated. A nice blast from the past. Kinda felt that way when I saw the Brandy video from outta nowhere a few years ago.

Damnit Damnit Damnit!!!!!! (Was supposed to do this and couldn’t ) ugh—-I have no regrets but I really wanted to be the band for this
 
I think Beyonce took her shine.
The rumor was Beyonce and J-Lo was biting her style hard back then.




She told the story on the JBP, she was signed to a producer that was signed to their same label at the time.

Rich was trying to get "his sound" out there and expand his catalog (and get paid).

In the interview she says she helped him fine tune it to what that sound was on "All I Have." So ideally it was "their sound," and she hints that that is why the sound didn't work with those others.
