Amerie is one of my favorite artist, I think she is very underrated. But there's a reason for this, she's underrated for a reason.
Amerie could never be like Rihanna, she can't be twist, turned out and used to bring Darkness to the culture like Rihanna. Her spirit would not be able to handle it.
I don't think many people realize that a personality and characteristic assessment is done when it comes to artist. The industry tends to push those who are willing to push the agenda of the people in charge. Those in charge realize how powerful the media is to society. They realize people emulate what they see in the media both on a conscious and subconscious level.
For example the industry is trying to push drugs heavily in the culture.
