Lo's musical success is incredibly reliant on a group of unsung heroes who ironically often did more singing than she did. The problem was when Beyonce released B’day which was seen as derivative of Ameriie’s sound and Rich was accused of giving songs originally meant for her to Beyonce. J Lo has stolen from other singers and not given them credit MANY times. Lopez writes that the first thing Marc Anthony ever said to her was, 'One day youre going to be my wife.' That was back in 1998, backstage when he was performing on Broadway in 'The Capeman.' Anthonys vision came true six years later, when the two tied the knot in 2004 before splitting in 2011. Touch may not have sold well but it was damn good quality and you guys need to understand that an underperforming album does not always equal poor music. 21:23, Howard Jones - Things Can Only Get Better. I remember people actually saying Ameriie ‘copied’ Bey. 23:38, Gladys Knight & The Pips - Neither One Of Us (Wants To Be The First. So if anything, AMERIIE who built success off Beyonce’s CIL with 1 Thing which I think is just as good. After finding success with her, he then went back to his original muse, Ameriie, for to her second album and majority of that album was based on that Go-Go sound – the one Beyonce popularized with Crazy in Love. The song became a huge hit and became Beyonce’s signature single.

Rich then went on to work on Bey’s album and produced the now classic Crazy in Love which had that Go-Go sound. Her first album DID not have said sound but rather, had a more MJB vibe. Amerie came out first in 2002 with Rich Harrison as her main producer but like said, that Go-Go sound does not belong to her but Rich made it his signature. Look, you guys need to give it A REST with this Bey vs Ameriie thing. Plus, she writes, producers and plays her instruments. She had a different look, voice and sound.

The switcharoo was largely unnoticed - except for the few unlucky fans who saw Black Box live. Instead, Amerie leaked the song and it managed to catch on with the radio stations, forcing her label to promote it. Except, she had no idea the band was planning to steal her vocals and use a skinny model to lip-sync to her voice. Fun fact: Amerie’s label originally wanted her and her team to rework 1 Thing, while at the same time planning to give the song to Jennifer Lopez (or JLo). General Commentthis site is about your interpretation of the song not whether or not you like the song. As Martha told Rolling Stone in 2014, she was paid a flat fee to demo a bunch of songs for the band. Im sure it took whatever from an unreleased Usher song, what people need to notice is the striking similarity to Ameries 1 thing. The woman was a French model the band hired to lip-sync tracks that were actually sung by Martha Wash. For one, the 'singer' of the group didn't actually sing any of their songs. However, there was a huge controversy surrounding the band that most people don't even know about.

Just like Christina, her vocals were left on the track and it's actually her voice you hear on the chorus, not Jennifer's. However, similarly to 'Play,' 'Ain't It Funny (Remix)' was originally written by Ashanti before she was famous. Jennifer strikes again, this time with two 2001 singles she recorded with rapper Ja Rule.
