I'm a huge Amerie fan, one of her biggest. Ever since the very first moment I heard "Why Don't We Fall In Love" back in summer 2002, I was hooked. She's beautiful and she's damn sure talented. A lot of people wanna say she can't sing but I love her voice. She's creative and I love every single one of her albums, especially "In Love & War" and "Because I Love It." What's sad is I really want her to be successful, and I know she can. Personally I love her performances simply because I love her getting any T.V. time she can get, but I do agree that she needs a little more "umph." It's easy for her to please me, but she needs to impress the world and show them what she can do. She needs to sing her heart out and quit fooling with that "Heard Em All" mess. She's performed that song on 4 seperate talk shows that I've seen and I'm sorry but it doesn't really show us who she is. It's just trying to get her to crossover to the pop charts. And I do like the song, however I LOVE "Why R U." It's brilliant. Great lyrics, she sings the hell out of it... that's what she should've promoted more. I know it could've been a hit. She needs to blow up her Twitter account and start promoting on YouTube. And I hate to say it, but Columbia Records was a lot better for her than Def Jam. And don't get me wrong, I love Rihanna. But that's where all the promotion has gone. Even when Amerie was labelmates with Beyonce, she still got more than she is now. She's blown up the talk show circuit but it did nothing for her album sales. Number 46 is disappointing. I hope she takes off the the sky because she deserves it. She will always be my number 1.

I tried listening to this album a number of times, and it just bores me to tears. The last thing we need is another bland R&B album. I'm not going to get into what I felt the direction should have been, because that's neither here nor there. But one thing I will say is, before and during this album release, this girl was NOWHERE to be found. If you have an album coming, you need to be everywhere. Parties, red carpet, events, photoshoots. You need to say "hey world, I'm here, and I got an album coming out real soon. Ugh! I hate to say it, because I’m a HUGE Amerie fan, but this album just isn’t good.

It's a shame coz she's an incredibly talented artist (creativity-wise) with her own style but she's gonna have to start believing in and promoting herself a lot more and start working hard on her performances. She needs to stand up for herself and really give Def jam a piece of her mind instead of letting them walk all over her like Columbia did.

Def jam spent so much effort promoting rihanna's record they had no money for Amerie, that's why her record isn't selling. She made a big mistake going to def jam from Columbia IMO, and now look, Rated R got bucketloads of advertising/promotion, and she doesn't. But I agree also it's about the performance aspect as well. She's not that great as a performer IMO, and she really needs to work on her vocals and stage presence. I agree with a lot of you guys as to why she’s failed.
