Quote of the Day: Amerie
Posted by Bossip Staff
Amerie, who is known for randomly putting in her two cents has some advice for Britney Spears:
“I like her single Gimme More, but I think something with really high bursts of energy – something like my song Gotta Work – would have been cool for her. She needs to move more. I don’t really know her situation, but for myself I am not a drinker, I am not a smoker and I have never done drugs. I think that has a lot to do with keeping yourself on track. She wasn’t in the right place and the song went on my album. If she wants to do something I would totally be there. If we did I’m sure it would be great and a lot of fun.”
Yeah, Amerie, who has even heard your song “Gotta Work”?

lets not front , ” britney is the hottest chick in the game right now ” … why , because everybody keeps talking about her …
LOL…
FIRST! AND WHAT THE HELL IS AMERIE TALKING ABOUT? DOES SHE EVEN HAVE AN ALBUM OUT?

It sounds like “Gotta Work” was initially supposed to be for Britney, but went to Amerie instead. BOSSIP did a horrible job giving us background for Amerie’s statement.
Amerie is not news. She doesn’t have the pipes. End of story. She is better off playing at cabaras!
Britney got that warped sense of marketing strategy from ya-girl Madonna! ( Madonna give her some trade secrets, and their working)
Unfortunately ,gossip,hurt,and a nice face will sell millions!
Maybe u outta put yourself out there LIKE THAT Amerie!
Britney’s album will sell millions in ADVANCE! OPPS, SHE DID IT AGAIN!
CATER TO YOUR CROWD….SELL MILLIONS!

I feel sorry for Amerie. That nose job and those short shorts are getting to her head.
On a marketing level…
If that chick does indeed make $700,000/mth, I’m sure she’s probably not checking for “gotta work”.
Some producer gave away another song intended for Britney, or was this it??
Producers want their songs to be heard.
I like Amerie but “1 thing” was just that.
All she needs, I think, is the right song and she’ll be getting talked about 2!! Good and bad.
IF SHE CAN JUST RELEASE SOME ALBUMS THAT ARE WORTH SOMETHING, then maybe she can talk..about MS. SPEARS! Amerie, is nothing!
i agree. Britney may be messed up in the head. but she can produce records. im not a fan of pop music. but that song gimme more is nice.
but great way to put your name on the main stream Amerie. working with Britney would be the exposure that you need.
ahem, ACTUALLY, i have heard it. it’s one of the main jumpoffs on my ipod. a good look, indeed. but, yeah, that prolly makes me and three otha people. see ur point. maybe…?
What person told Amarie that she was A-List. If you ran that statement by Britney Spears, she would probably not even know who was talking about her. I never liked her, never knew what the minor facination was with her whenever she did have a piece of the spotlight.
who cares. NEXT!
Maybe Amerie should just seriously consider going into modeling and producing and leave the singing/performing to others. She’s cute and can carry tune but so can a lot of people. The limelight just doesn’t seem to be for her.
Anyway, Angie Stone has a new album out, “The Art of Love and War”. you can stream it here http://www.mp3.com/artist/angie-stone/summary/?tag=download;play
amerie always had the face and legs but her ***** look nice in that picture she must have on a push up bra or she go implants. she needs to get into acting if he wants to make money her again because her music career in america is over.
U…plp.. so stupid amerie is a hard workin lady just has anyone else and u’ll plp just hatin’ the only reason why u haven’t hear about her in the news it cause she stay out of trouble all u plp want to do and bring other plp down .. there is amerie tryin to help out someone who she sees needs to up lift themselves and wat do u plp do try to bring her down this world is full of HYPOCRITESS!!.. amerie keep up the good job and keep helping others u have a good heart unlike some bithes!!!! on bossip!!..
The problem with Amerie:
1) Zero charisma
2) Unexceptional voice (Not bad, but not great)
3) Non-existant sex-appeal (Wouldn’t kick it out of bed, but wouldn’t break my neck to invite her either)
4) She ain’t got no AZZ! (She makes Olive Oyl look like The BABY GOT BACK POSTER GIRL)
Amerie is a Georgetown University graduate…WHY is she trying to ride PWT’s ***** to get money??!!!
LMAO
she’s so irrelevant now. instead of doling out advice to someone that still has a salvageable career and a strong enough fan base to peddle her music to, she needs to get on her grind creating it for herself.
lol at Amerie
check this:
http://hiphopes.wordpress.com/
I’m laughing at Amerie because she really giving advice to Britney like her career is the sh*t, like she’s a somebody in the music industry. She had two or three sporadic hits out of three albums. What is that? One hit every other cd..child boo
She should have just said no comment or she liked her single and left it at that. She just had to put it out there that she don’t drink or smoke. Well good for you.
spoken like someone who is truly at the bottom of the charts. even in her current state Britney wouldnt even fart on you never mind work with you.
Amerry should have just said ‘no comment’ and kept it moving. if her song is so good how come Britney’s got a top 5 hit on her hands and Amerry doesnt. stank
AND SHE BETTER NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT COMMENTING ABOUT MY CAREER CHOICES. I’M THE QUEEN OF HIP HOP SOUL *****
LOL I’m sure the song was for Britney first, but still. As messed up as Britney is, “Gimme More” gets 100x more play than “Gotta Work”. Seriously, Amerie.
Baytch Pleazee Amerie you ***** so irrelevant.Instead of throwing some else advice how about this take some of your own because only place you ***** hot at that’s in england so who needs to be talking to who
sniping Rhianna moves
Y’all a fool for this one. LOL. I wonder if it was one of them tracks Ne-Yo never got paid for doing for Britney and he gave it away? Amerie “Gotta Work” on stepping her game up.
Amerie giving advice? Now that ish is rich. How long she been down, two minutes? Girl you need to be taking notes, not speaking on stuff you still learning.
The only time Amerie’s mouth should be open is during singing lessons.
Listen at one no-talent trying to comment on another! Rihanna, Amerie, Ashanti, Tearra Marie, Hilary Duff, Ashley Simpson, Paris Hilton, and Nivea should have a roundtable discussion on exactly how useless they all are.
Yawn…did Annie Mae just say something? Trying to bring attention to her own wack song by commenting on someone else’s tragedy. Too bad Britney doesn’t have time to give little Annie Mae some advice. Britney’s too busy actually having a career. If Annie Mae really wants to help Britney, she should tell her where she gets her weave done.
Need to google this Amerie chic- who is she again??
In the meantime, dont appreciate her knocking the drinking and saying her pristine system is what keeps her on track… On track of what double wood cd’s?? I drink- and that hasnt thrust me in to chaos, although I have wound up in a few compromising situations, but legal fees and good dose of antibiotics- I was like new again… {aww, I’m just kidding}. With moderation and self control there is nothing wrong with drinking if you are healthy. Motivation, goals, focus and perserverance keeps you on track, who’s her advisor??
Ummm how delicious, we are here doing what we do best, tearing down another negro for a deranged YT (Britney). yes the Gimme More track might be cute, but it only shows how radio will play just about anything these days! The track is trash, Britney is trash. Will the album sell probably not. & to the comment about Britney producing records, from “GETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT” Gimme an effing BREAK. Britney don’t produce *****!
Just cus an artist isn’t big in America that doesn’t mean they aren’t big elsewhere. I was in the UK in the summer when Amerie’s album dropped over there, and it’s pretty good.
Amerie is doing no different than the rest, she made a comment and got publicity from it, ya’ll talking right. She still in the UK right now performing and getting paid in british pounds, WHAT!
I don’t think anyone’s tearing Amerie down for Britney, they’re criticizing her for having the audacity to comment on someone else’s career/music.
Just because someone is popular in Europe (or America, or anywhere) doesn’t mean they’re talented. I don’t care if they worship that girl as a God in England, the chick still can’t sing.
WTF? Dunno wat shes goin on about, sounds like shes talkin a bit strong (like she knows everything lol) but i think she means well.Like her music tho
Amerie please just shut up and look pretty! She’s a beauty, but everytime she opens her mouth and talks, I cringe.
amerie don’t need to mess with britney’s new album because it is a mess http://www.judiciaryreport.com/britneys_bad_break.htm
Amerie is so cute.. But I’m mad that she likes Britney etc. Whoever said Amerie is out for 2 minutes is wrong. She has 3 albums and all of them are GREAT!!! Especially the 1st one!! It’s not her fault that all of you listen to albums that get released in USA and are promoted. It’s not Amerie’s fault that all of you are lazy!!!
Not defending Britney BY FAR!! Defending the bottle, she didnt have to go there and I felt some kinda way about it…
To Tiray, Madonna did controversial things that helped her career not stupid things to ruin her personal life. The only thing that spilled over would be kissing Britney. She said in an interview that her daughter questioned her about it and wished she could take it back.
“Especially the 1st one!! It’s not her fault that all of you listen to albums that get released in USA and are promoted. It’s not Amerie’s fault that all of you are lazy!!!”
LOL, Amerie has been promoted enough for all of us to know that she CAN’T SING. If “lazy” means “likes good music” in your book, then I’ll be that.
How can you say she cannot sing if there’s 1 million proof on youtube that she can! She maybe can’t do vocal acrobations like Bee or Mimi but she def. is not tone deaf SMH!! And tone of Amerie’s voice is very nice and girly. I love it cuz of that. It’s just her single chocies for this last album of hers were extremely bad. She picked out the worst songs IMO. She could’ve went with CRAZY WONDERFUL, she sounds W O N D E R F U L on that song! And umm.. didn’t Amerie’s single TALKIN’ TO ME from 2002 proove that she can sing pretty well?????? Ha??? Or you are just dumb and you don’t listen to stuff that doesn’t get promoted? I bet u only heard 1thing and touch.. smh
Greeting’s Daria…
This girl will reek millions from her “stupid choices”
Millionaire’s are people that we willing to ” go there”
think
http://www.blackwiz.biz
opps! typo.
I meant: milliaires are people that are willing to “go there”
WHO IN THE ***** asked amerie anything? who in the hell is interviewing her? and for what? lol
This ***** can’t be serious. She had to flee the country just to get a bit of shine. She has bad skin, no star quality, and a flat ***** personality.
Damnnnn! you folks are hard on someone jus’ tryn’ a pay the rent! How d’yall treat murderers?
http://www.lovelifegodsexmoney.com
lol at “Yeah, Amerie, who has even heard your song “Gotta Work”?”
bossip u gotta luv it
it goes there
bossip yall trip me out
Akimbo, lol @ Amerie, Ashanti, Tearra Marie, Hilary Duff, Ashley Simpson, Paris Hilton, and Nivea should have a roundtable discussion on exactly how useless they all are.
But come on, Ashanti’s better than Paris. And Hilary is an Olsen twin-like marketing machine in the making. That girl is selling everything from socks to perfumes. She’s a businesswoman !
LOL @ the d-lsit round table!!
Bossip,
Holla at me about some Donnie, Janelle Monae, Bilal, Lizz Wright, Amel Larrieux, Cody Chesnutt, Goapele, Tamia, and Robin Thicke’s first CD before you step to me about unpromoted artists.
Amerie’s not underpromoted, she’s just undertalented. I remember her from “Why Don’t We Fall In Love” and she STILL sings like she got cotton ***** stuffed in her throat.
I just got back from seeing Jill Scott tear it up and the idea of seeing Amerie live makes me laugh and shudder at the same time.
No thank you! She can keep her place at the roundtable!
I get why everyone’s coming down on Amerie for opening her mouth ‘cuz God knows, trick can’t sing a note. However, I am amazed that anyone would consider Brithney Spears more talented, and hence, more defendable than Amerie. I have seen the video for Britneys ‘”Gimme More”, and it is absolute and utter nonsense!
Neither one of them can sing.
Both of them had nosejobs.
Neither of them REALLY writes their own music.
Neither one of them can act.
Britney could at least dance.
Britney somehow managed to have a career.
It’s like the Mayor of West Bumble***** trying to talk about how much better he is than the President of the United States.
It’s like, nice try, but up your game and maybe someone will take your comments seriously.
Quite frankly, I have hated Britney since she came out, but I gotta draw the line at this nonsense. Next week it’s gonna be one of those animatronic kids from B5 trying to comment on Britney’s career.
Like, someone else said, Amerie is a GRADUATE of GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY… That means she has beauty, as well as brains… I’m sure she didn’t mean anything by her comment on Britney. Its not like she was trying to bash her or like she has some kida malice intent towards Britney Spears… Its funny how some of y’all are so quick to tear Amerie down, when Britney’s crazy ***** can’t even keep custody of her damn kids and is on drugs.. SMDH. Anyways, as far as Amerie’s career in the US, I think she can get it back. If she goes back to the way she was with her first album, she’ll have her shine back. At least she’s craetive and tryin’ to do something different…
why is this ***** always suckin Wackney Spears *****? she needs to try to sell some records her damn self!
and george w is a graduate of yale. doesn’t make either of them good at what they do.
amerie isn’t doing anything different from any of these other lightweights. she sucks.
Britney’s stiff no rythym ***** can’t dance.My 7 year old daughter has got more dance skills than her.She’s only famous because she’s white and blond.Any thing she can do the average black girl can do better.Read between the lines and get off the Brinety bandwagon.Like Modonna She has made more money than most talented singers and entertainers because of good marketing,contraversey,and being sexually provocative.The white media lifts her up for you all to worship this white image by making her a house hold name and her we are talking about her someone with millions and in your life time you’ll never make one.Like Madonna She makes more than talented singers.Even if she never has another hit you’ll never have as much money as this white no talent,lip singing,unintelligible,blown out of proportion,women that white people refuse to let go of.black people never really was into britney spears we had aaliyah,brandy,and many more.Now were tearing down each other defending brinety.She’s a white rich famous blond who black women probally have nothing in common with.Wake up black women! Stop buying into rhe hype!
God, you’re dumb. Not one person on this post has defended Britney. They just said that Amerie should shut up.
And she should.
AKIMBO IS HOT TODAY LOL … U CRACKIN ME UP. I WOULD TRY TO COSIGN FOR YOU BUT YOU HOLDIN IT DOWN ALL ON YOUR OWN LOL BUT I DO HAVE TO SAY THAT I DESPISED BRITNEY SINCE HIT ME BABY ONE MORE TIME, HOWEVER, THE LONGER SHE WAS OUT, THE BETTER SHE BECAME AND WHILE SHE CAN NOT SING AT ALL THAT GIRL WILL GIVE A FIRE PERFORMANCE, OF COURSE IM TALKIN PRE- GIMME MORE, PRE- RIDICULOUS MTV PERFORMANCE. NOW BRITNEY IS A DRUGGED UP, DRUNK EMBARR*****EMENT OF THE ENTERTAINMENT SHE USED TO BE. NOTE KEY WORD IS ENTERTAINER NOT, SINGER. BRITNEY’S PREVIOUS ALBUMBS HAVE GONE DOUBLE PLAT, SHE’S SOLD OUT HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF TIMES IN CONCERT AND BECAME A SORT OF POP ICON IN HER HEY DAY, AMERIE CANT EVEN GO PLAT OR SALE TICKETS LIKE THAT. SHE SAID BEYONCE WAS BITTING OFF HER STYLE TOO A MIN AGO. WITH ALL THIS BEEF SHE TRYIN TO COOK THIS GIRL SHOULD HAVE BEEN A CHEF. SHE’D PROBABLY HAVE A BETTER CAREER.
