@thesashawhitney: Amerie had the career she was supposed to have. what we are saying today is the same thing that was rampant 20 years ago and is still happening today *coughIceSpice*, and is what I was talking about last week in video about the alleged erasure of Black American influencers and content creators in the beauty space: COLORISM along with its cousins featurism and texturism. Amerie has always sounded like this meanwhile a darker skinned Black girl could literally NEVER. #amerie #tinydesk #colorism #featurism

Also ppl hate Beyoncé so much that they will rewrite history to try to make anyone better than her. Someone said yesterday that Amerie and Ashanti were better vocalists than Bey in the early 00s. I was flabbergasted

Ashanti, Amerie, J. Lo, Rihanna, and many others benefitted back in the early 2000s.

I literally said in my video that "she couldn't sing this song live over the past 20 years so not sure why she would do a stripped performance"

Questioning an entire career over one underwhelming performance is crazy to me.

The “Beyoncé stole her career” bit is crazy to me. Cause we’ve been hearing Bey for the past 20 years.Why are they shooting her in the foot?😭

🤣🤣 If you know Beyoncé’s journey you know she wasn’t just handed her career !!!!! She worked damn hard and her family sacrificed so much for her !!!

Imma throw in something else. Late 90s/early 00s was when the exotic fetishization started to ramp up in our community.

beyoncé definitely benefited from colourism but above all she worked hard and was not afraid to learn how to better herself and her craft. once people understand that they will have peace

look at someone like Normani. I don't know what was going on in her personal life but Normani sings down and can dance but she never got any traction going solo

I loved Amerie’s first album and her music, but what made her music was the production, vibes and her energy, not necessarily her voice.

What’s funny about that is on a Tyra banks interview from her show Amerie talk about how men always thought she was exotic looking because she was mixed I feel like her look really helped her career aswell

Amerie, Alicia Keys, Jlo & Mya took up spaces that were never theirs. And now they're 40+ struggling to maintain a singing career.

I felt this way about Selena Gomez, Zendaya, and Rihanna. They do have some good songs but its like something is missing

Amerie is my girllll but yes she’s always sounded like that. I really enjoyed her albums, love the book club but a vocalist she is not
