This is unbelievable. How can you copy Ciara, Beyonce, and yourself at the same time. She just needs to give it up.

And ppl are saying she had some kind of surgery she does looks different but i don't know about surgery.

Gotta Work

i dont get how yoo say shes copying i dont thynk shes copying....she kinda looks lyk one of the girls from CSJH i dont noe who but on some scenes she does

eh, it's not a big deal.

beyonce copies from people all the time.
she's copied amerie too. her song green light sounds so much like amerie's one thing.

ciara has copied from aaliyah before.

i'm not saying they're trying to be exactly like each other all the time but at the end of the day, they all copy.

that aside, i don't like the song that much nor do i care for her new album.
she does look different though.

Thank u!

I have seen Beyonce and Ciara copy so many people it's not even funny.

But about the greenlight thing
I don't think those songs soundalike, but I think "Crazy in love" and "One thing"
soundalike, but that's because I think the same guy produced those two songs

In the end
I wish today's artists would be more original man
it's annoying seeing the same thing everyday

hm, the first thing i thought when i heard green light was one thing. i checked online to see if maybe it was just me but apparently other people had the same thought i did. idk why but there is just something really familiar about the two of them to me.

i agree.
i wish artists would be more original because everything is becoming so boring lately. even new stuff that's coming out is not exciting because it feels like you've already heard and seen it before.

^I honestly do not hear the similarities between "GreenLight" and "One Thing"
the rhythm and tune is totally different to me

I have both songs on my ipod

I think maybe "Freakum Dress" sounds more similar to "One Thing"
but like I said
they may have worked with the same producers
like when I first heard Mario Vasquez album I thought some of the songs sound like Neyo's songs
come to find out Neyo did some work on that album.

I just wish people get there own styles man
I hate when people say "Oh everyone copies everyone"
People just take the easy way out of things by using someone else's style

Everybody wanna be Beyonce, or Usher, or Janet, or Micheal,
all today's rock acts sound so much like "Blink 182" in there "What's my age again" days
I can barely listen to any music these days.......I mean worldwide.

this is why I prefer 80's and 90's music over today's music
but don't get me wrong, we have some talented people today.

btw I don't see how she copied Ciara in that video
I hope it's not the chair dancing thing

n/m then. i didn't think the whole song sounded like one thing but just parts in the chorus and stuff but it doesn't matter. it probably just is the producers.

i think people just want to be successful so badly that they're trying to recreate what made someone else famous.
i notice when people do come out and try to do their own thing people aren't really interested because it's "boring" or "not radio friendly" everything on the radio sounds exactly the same.

yeah, it's not just american music. music almost everywhere has went downhill when it comes to quality. older stuff is better imo.

Ciara has not copied Aaliyah and you have no proof that she does. How does "Green Light " sound like "One thing"!



She copied from Ciara "Oh" and "Get Up"

How??

and it's not like Ciara has never copied anyone

i dont get why no one likes this song. i like it....
n i dont think she's tryna copy anyone. there might be similarities to other music vids but eh, most vids are similar these days in one way or another. Amerie's never reminded me of Ciara at all. Beyonce i can kinda see though
anyway i dont think shes really copying anybody. she cant dance though...
n i think she just looks different cuz of her eyes. prolly just makeup

i like it! ^^ i don't see why some of you don't.... lol x)

Pretty girl GAY SONG....

she looks more asian with that hair and makeup haha

i like amerie. beyonce's ovverated and ugly w/ that weave and mini cooper. ciara's aright tho.

She hasn't copied anyone.

i dont see how she copied Beyonce or Ciara ...


tss ppl these days
Even when ppl wear he same earring,they'll be like' OMG SHE COPIED HER "

i like the song
sounds like a new version of one thing
and she looks more asian in this mv lol

I love the fact you created a thread, to try to get people to bash an artist.
-
the song is eh. the video is eh.

I for one think that if Aaliyah was alive, Ciara would not have been popular. She sounds a lot like Aaliyah but with a deeper voice.

On topic. I wouldn't call Amerie "copying," more like influence. Maybe she has the same record producer as Ciara and Beyonce.

I agree 100%

but this aint about Aaliyah so I'll leave her out of this

I still don't see how Amerie is copying anyone in this video
it's more like she's doing whats in today.

I could see if she was doing something more direct
but I don't see it. I just see the same ol stuff that everyone
else is doin

btw I hate her makeup in this video
and all Amerie's songs are starting to sound the same
atleast the singles she's releasing

All I Have was her best album

she ruined my favorite song

I really liked her old songs.
Her new stuff doesn't really do it for me anymore.

She could have released "If Loving U Was Easy" as her single..

As much as I think this song is good, it sounds exactly like "1 Thing" in my opinion.

^ yeah! When Loving You Was Easy was my absolute FAVEEEE of her new album. i actually really enjoyed the whole album at first but it got played out quick.

agreed

the song is alright
her body looks great! lol i want legs like hers~
i wish she would come out with something from her first album.. like most of you said it was her best!
plus it doesn't sound like shes straining her voice as much.

I think the only reason why ppl like aaliyah now so much is because she died. Ciara would still be popular and aaliyah would have been a thing of the past.... like now.

That's not true
because before Aaliyah died people already adored and she was about to make her break
I don't know why you would say she's a thing of the past because she's not, even though her career was short she is considered a legend.

Ciara would not have outshined Aaliyah if she were still alive

You know now don't it seem like everybody copies everybody in this area of music...but no one here really seems to care much?? But when a Asian artist does it everybody be beastin...lol.


*EDIT--------> WTF is wrong with her face...lol?? Why it look so different all of a sudden. Seriously. Okay she does look more Asian not that thats a bad thing....but its kind of a shock even if she is Asian to go from how she looked in '1 thing' and 'Touch' to this video.....lol. You know I like the way they did her makeup and whatnot. Her eyes are hot!! but its he cheeks and nose that look weird to me. Anyway this song sucks. I think she is corny. I have said it before...lol. She can't really sing.

^I think it's just her makeup that makes her look different
she still looks black to me though.

For the longest time I had no idea she has half korean

I think she needs some better management man cuz her songs are so repititive
like I said "All I have" is her best.

I think Amerie has a nice voice
not the best but it's good enough, she can sing better than alot of artists out now

You know I agree with you. She does have a nice voice but she gotta sing songs that compliment her voice. I think thats essential in being a singer. And I think that some of these songs...the sound is too heavy for her voice to carry. Almost like she has to sing over the music. I'm a fan of 1Thing....I like All I have too.

not bashing on her or anything ,
but did she get her nose done ?
she looks really different now .

The song is alright
if you ignore some of the lyrics
I don't see what's bad about the video
it's okay
looks like a typical mv

I miss her old music. My favourite song by her is always gonna be "Why Can't We Fall In Love?"

Her new video is nice, but the song is just ehhh to me. All her stuff lately has been sounding ehhh to me. :\

Aaliyah is not a legend!!!! What did she do tto become a legend? Nothing!!! Ciara is a way better dancer than a Aaliyah could ever be. Ciara is a way better performing than Aaliyah could ever be. And another thing that makes Ciara better than Aaliyah, she is still alive!!!

DiD aaliyah choose to die ? no

so if u gonna say something stupid,just shut ur mouth


RIP Aaliyah


and whats up with this copying that,if it bothers u, dont watch
Or start a topic complaining the music video director...even if it is just as stupid..

an WHY the big deal big girls,if i see guys doing similar stuff , i c no hating...

i love amerie
i aint' hatin on her
and i don't think she's copying
its just dat a lot of pop/ r&b singers are very similiar and going for dat one look

I don't see how Amerie copied others....
The everytime I see her she looks more asian...especially in this video.
But she looks very pretty like always...
Good song but I don't think it'd make it :/

You can believe what you want

I guess you would have to be a fan of Aaliyah
to truly understand

If she wasnt a legend
why does she have a tree in her honor at Central Park?

There were unforgettable things about her
btw Ciara better at performing live?
the only thing she can do live is dance
she can't sing live to save her life so that throughs that argument

that last comment was a lil unneccessary

I DONT THINK SHE IS COPYING...MAYBE IT JUST HER STYLE..
SO PEOPLE COPY FROM PEOPLE ALL THE TIME..
SO WHAT YOU CANT HELP STOP THAT..
TRY...

Lol honestly I wish I could stop it

people need to be more original these days

Copying is not a good thing
inspiration is fine, but copying is bad

I'm so sick of ppl comparing somebody who is alive to somebody who is dead. I didn't bring up Aaliyah. You need to be talking to the person who did.

People do those comparisons all the time and they will always be around
people always compare todays beauty to Audrey Hepburn's beauty
people compare others to James Brown, Marvin Gaye and Elvis Presly.

Just because someone is dead doesnt mean that they can't be compared to someone who is alive.

The reason why she has a tree is because she died. If she hadn't died she wouldn't have nearly as much fans or honors like she does now. The lady didn't do anything when she was alive. And about Ciara can't sing live, What about aaliyah? She didn't sing like no freakin angel. Half of the time she lip syn



This is what i'm saying what did Aaliyah to be a legend? She didn't do anything but die. She wasn't the best dancer or performer (remember that Janet Jackson ) and she couldnit sing all that well. People just say stupid stuff like that to start crap.

Aaliyah sang live alot
I admit she didnt have the best voice but she had a good vocal skills
But she sure as heck sing live way better than Ciara.
I think it's because Ciara needs to learn how to sing and dance at the same time
I think Ciara gets out of breath from her dancing.

She didnt do anything while she was alive?

I recall her performing at the Oscars, she modeled for Tommy Hilfigure I recall her winning MTV Vma for
"Try Again" she was nominated for a grammy for "Are you that somebody"
and she did two movies, she would have done more but she died.
One thing she will always be remembered for was her kindness, most stars don't give there fans the time or day but she did. Alot of young females did and still and still look up to her, Aaliyah was a good role model.

and you shouldnt say "She didnt do anything but die"
we all know Aaliyah died you don't have to keep reminding us.

Holy snap
I went way off topic.

Anyways I guess the point is
Amerie didnt copy off of anybody in her new video
atleast I didnt see it.

Btw anyone know how good this album sold for her?

Wow! Aaliyah did alot .

But i don't care anymore. I have had enough of this coversation(?).
My views won't chance and yours won't either. So whats the point?

Just because one female wore something in one video then a few months later you see another female wear something "similiar" it's not necessarily copying. Who's to say that the first female "invented" the look or style? Their video just came out first.

Although I do find it weird that Ciara was one of the first that made "the matrix" (where you bend backwards) famous and Amerie does this move FOR THE FIRST TIME in her video with the black outfit and black gloves. O_O

But whatever.

I think Amerie is a much better singer than Beyonce, but not a better performer, she still has something to work out, or just needs to get that experience Beyonce has built up over the years.

But I don't see what she's "copying" in this video and yes, she does look even more asian in this video than all of her other ones. I hope she doesn't start playing her "race" card in trying to get more fans.

I also find it strange that she released her album much earlier overseas than in the states, I guess she's going for a more global approach than trying to compete with all the other stars in the US.

You know I have been wondering the same thing. I mean she isn't doing to well in America... i mean she isn't doing bad but she could be better much better. And now with this korean thing going on Her looking more asian, her doing the duet with se7en and perfoming on M! Countdown is she trying to get the asian fans now? I mean it wouldn't be a bad thing. I think she would find more sucess in asian countries than america anyway. she has the style for it. but i think that what she is doing.

Umm, just thinking here....does your hate for her come from the fact that she got to interaction with Se7en?

Just a question.

I don't agree with what you said but you're entitled to your own opinion so...


I like the song. I like the video. I like Amerie. Good day. (:

LoL. Thats funny. I don't hate Amerie. And personally I think Se7en and Amerie makes a cute couple. I just don't think she is as good as a lot of female performers here. And she copies alot
