@Miles Goodison-Fearon Rihanna wasn’t the strongest initially but I will say she did end up honing her craft and made herself the it girl she is today. She was given an opportunity of a lifetime by coincidence and made the best of it
@Miles Goodison-Fearon But I agree 100% that Amerie was ROBBED. She is so talented and it was sad to see her music career plummet by the mf’s in the suits.
All three of them killed it. They all sounded great. It’s crazy that Rihanna the only one who become a big star. It’s ashamed that teairra Mari didn’t get a more memorable career outside of love and hip hop and people don’t give Amerie more attention cause she has a beautiful voice.
Exactly! They were all so gifted,gorgeous, and talented I just wish they ALL got the success they rightfully deserved 😢. There was room for the three of them.. God bless them, they were so young 🙏🏽..
In reality, it was Rihanna who was blown out of the media. Teairra was the main star, SHE was the one they promoted… Rihanna was the one they dug a grave for. And in reality Rihanna was the one who worked the hardest. Amerie was already a pop icon but just for a short period. I’m glad Rihanna got that chance, because she shook the world with her music. Teairra has music, but where is her popularity? She barely has any because her songs aren’t committed. Rihanna came from Barbados, it’s hard to get into arts already, and from a small island?? Imagine how hard she must’ve worked for it. Rihanna was never meant to become that star out of the three.. but one little birdy.. Beyoncé, saw potential in Rihanna and asked everyone else to give her more of a shot.. so what happened? Rihanna debuted her album “Good girl gone bad” and that star was born.
@@matiasmuttoni9044 beyonce? Umm sure if you say so. Let’s not downplay Rihanna as if she didn’t have a number one single on the billboard before good girl gone bad. Pon de Reply reach number 2 and SOS was her first number 1. She was doing well before good girl gone bad. That album got a lot of attention due to her drama with chris brown and with the edge image she had went with it.
@@casantillana … that’s what I’m saying… and Beyoncé was the one who told JayZ to focus on Rihanna because she saw potential in her. JayZ and Beyoncé were dating at the time. After Pon De replay hit the charts it reached a lot of people. Before that Teairra had a song come out but it didn’t do so well, so Rockefeller records dropped her on her prom night through a phone call. That’s when Rihanna started gaining more recognition. Nobody is downplaying Rihanna, I’m saying that she was treated like a sidekick next to Teairra because they wanted Teairra to be the next Beyoncé. It didn’t work out though.
@@matiasmuttoni9044 Beyonce never told jay z to focus on Rihanna she said that to L.A Reid and either way after that Rihanna was still supposed to be dropped not once but thrice , in 2005, 2006 and 2008 . It was her manager who literally fought for her career. And Rihanna funded most of her albums from her own money . And Rihanna gained recognition after umbrella many people thought she was a new artist
Rihanna became and still is a big star today because she only went as far as being inspired by Bey and forged her own path to success at a time when people were trying to make every rnb and pop singer the next Beyonce. Big ups to Rihanna for creating her own longevity.
bullshit.. she was the whole dancehall girl.. And then became a beyonce wannabe its just that she has her own recognizable voice. she didn't stay herself at all
jean do ur way wrong Rihanna used to be like the standard pop girl but she’s became more of herself if anything she puts her culture and heritage in her songs now like the song work and etc she 100% created her on path and platform that’s why she’s one of the biggest stars
A major Part of the reason why is politics. Rihanna was the strongest to survive. Despite the simple fact that she was seemingly the weakest of the three. But in all honesty, def Jam was too busy pushing TEAIRRA the most that year. That’s why she had Beyoncé’s part. And speaking which of Beyoncé, the label prioritized her and J-Lo (aka ghost-singing knockoff of Mariah Carey diva, J-No) over AMERIE/Ameriie. Not to mention, stealing her iconic Hip Hop/R&B DMV Gogo sound.
Rihanna’s tone is so cute ! I love it! And Amerie’s voice and vocal arrangements are always lit 🔥 Teiarra had the it factor, but poor management choices didn’t help her career.
AMERIE was AMAZING!! She was incredible and so beautiful. She had the moves, the voice. She was so sexy. She was phenomenal the moment she walked down the stairs with confidence.
@@breyahnagaynor lmao it might’ve been the satanic rituals and symbolism. She said they were trying to get her to do stuff she wasn’t comfortable with. Rihanna didn’t seem to have a problem and she had the better star power
Naomi Jackson get rid of potential competition and that’s what she did. She got rid of Teairra, then she musically battled against and utilized what ever she could do against Ameriie/Amerie to her benefit to a certain extent.
@@TheBabyGemz exactly idc what nobody say T was the best up there she was beautifulllllllll walk talk everything!! Beyoncé definitely saw competition God moved Tierra out the way all these years no matter what she did on love and hip hop something devilish was in the works back then
I wasn’t referring to Amerie, obviously Rihanna and Teairra (even though Bey picked Rih over Teairra lol) ...... we all know beyonce stole Amerie’s sound around the early 2000s by using Amerie’s producer and team, bc her original 70s direction never fully popped off. This isn’t a secret 😂
They all sounded and looked so beautiful and amazing 😍😍😍😍. Even though I’m forever Rihanna navy, I gotta say Amerie’s part was my fav. ❤️ Even in the original, Michelle’s part was my favorite.
Despite how much I love Rihanna, Amerie is KILLING IT, she was amazing. And I love how Destiny's Child are very exited. Specially Beyonce, she looking at them so proudly
What I find TRULY impressive about Rihanna is that she was consistent and had such a tremendous work ethic that even though her first two albums weren't successful and only produced a few minor hits, she kept at it & her label probably really believed in her, too. I'm sure the other two girls are also very talented although I'm not all that familiar with them, but even here - Rihanna's has a distinct presence and her voice is instantly recognizable and different from the other two.
@@oldworldstarkeo thank you but the haters want to discredit her eventually chance they get. Even in 2022 with all of her achievements. The hate is real but protect SOME black women . As I roll my eyes
Amerie kiiiiiiilled this!! Omg lol By the way... This made me think, wasn't Teairra Marie supposed to be the one to blow under Jay-Z? Somehow she got pushed to the side and Rihanna pushed to the forefront. No shade tho, I love Rihanna. T Marie is just a better vocalist
Teairra sounded and looked too similar to Beyoncé. Beyoncé clearly noticed the resemblance, she saw competition there 😂 and she eventually suggested the label to hire Rihanna. Little did she know that Rihanna would even become bigger than her.
@@yenciaminnis rihanna could end Beyonce if she actually dropped music. Bey new song didn’t even reach #1-3 on billboard hot 100 and is struggling at #9 rn
Because she has what the rest don’t have and it’s ARTISTRY she is so diverse and has a vibe and voice no one can copy her songs are so huge worldwide bigger than Beyoncé’s songs and that’s a fact
How are they bigger than Beyoncé’s? Prove it. Beyoncé hasn’t updated her song stats. You’ll never be able to prove. You Rihanna fans always try to uplift her whole downgrading others.
Dashara XXX you sound stupid she didint sell her soul. Unless you the devil or god how would you know keep your fucking mouth shut. It pisses me off when people say they sell their soul. And Rihanna can sing you just hate to admit it 😂😂
Dashara XXX it’s my name dumb ass people’s names are Jesus but of course like i said earlier you’re STUPID ....and her voice is amazing seen her in concert she sings good but idc what you say she’s Already she best selling artist of our time so she can care less about what you have to say and she helps people in need and raises billions unlike other celebs with her CLF foundation clearly you don’t know shit about Rihanna because if you did you wouldn’t be saying shit like this. Plus she stays being the most influential female artist from 2000s up stay mad not only is she a talented artist she’s also a business women and ceo a multi billion dollar company... so she’s set for LIFE unlike your fav artist who can’t compete and wish they had 10 percent of her success and talent
Maybe not so shocking, if we knew what was happening behind the scenes? 🤔 But yes, all three ladies deserved success. th-cam.com/video/M-Q_4O5-F9A/w-d-xo.html
Cse Rihana rebranded herself as bad girl riri, the others had the generic pop girl package at the time. Remember when she cut her hair and had the edger look that made her a star.
-I hate that these ladies all ended up in different positions in their careers at this time, but I'll always give credit. They ALL delivered sassy, attitude and gorgeous! As individuals and coming together, it was a great to see these respectable, beautiful young ladies just enjoying themselves before music turned to what it is now.
when Destiny's Child came out in 1997, i somehow *knew* Beyonce was going to be a big star. i didn't see Rihanna coming at all. i honestly didn't think she'd last longer than a year after her debut. you just never know.
Parker No, it was Good Girl Gone Bad that made her big, because that's when she embarked on her first tour, and that album is her most successful album to date, not Rated R.
I kno i kno. Umbrella really was her first single that branded her cuz thats when she also changed her hair. Im talking about general publicity and fame. A world tour doesnt mean anything plenty irrelevant artists do it.. i.e. ciara, austin mahone etc.. After the whole chris brown incident and what not and then she comes back after her year hiatus with rated R she really blew up cuz thats when everyone noticed this new different direction she was going. And actually rated R did better critic wise and general acceptance wise. I cant speak on sales
And Rihanna remains the only one unique and bold enough to be a reign on the music bizz. She was really beautiful on that peformance such grace. Love her
She was never a great vocalist or a strong performer.....But she's pretty, has star quality with the curated image/brand she made & made good business decisions.
I liked her part too.....they all did well but I felt Rihannas performance stood out because it had a lot of personality.... her voice sounded pretty and controlled....but this isn't taking from Ameria and tearra marie
Everybody but Amerie sounded like great Karaoke. That's not shade but I could tell it was a tribute. Amerie was able to make it her own and remind you yeah this is destiny child song but I'm Amerie "when you ain't really want none". She served that small part and was serving physically too. Rihanna was pretty, but was singing a little in front of the track. And her dancing a lil stiff. Tierra actually serving vocally and physically but again sounds like great Karaoke.
@Likedbymany 3 yrs late but Bey saw her as a threat and took her sound (Amerie sang 1 thing) for her solo album BDay. So Bey told LA Reid she liked Rihanna instead and supported her career bc clearly, from this performance riri was the weakest performer and Bey prob thought her career would die out eventually and that Bey can keep her spot as top dog in the industry. It worked out for both of them though, but Amerie got thrown under the bus for having talent that rivals Beyonce's. Her label also wanted to give 1 thing to JLO so she did the smart choice by leaking it to the radios. The label also pushed her not to make it a single but she did so she pissed off her label even more lol
@@tehmaimed oh gimme a break. Beyoncé did not see Amerie as no kind of threat. Amerie is extremely talented but IN NO WAY is she on Beyoncé’s level. Let’s not forget she was the only black R&B artist killing it WORLDWIDE when she debuted. She thrived in the industry amongst powerhouses like Britney Spears, Christina, Brandy, *NSYNC, Pink, Avill, Eminem and others and managed to make her mark and is the only one still killing it! In no way was amerie a threat to her. And another thing: It’s all about potential and stardom in this industry. Being able to find someone who can sing in Hollywood is a dime of a dozen however finding someone with star power and potential is the holy grail. Amerie had the vocals and talent but Rihanna had the star power which Beyoncé clearly took note of. And she was absolutely right bc Rihanna took off from here! Ima end off with this: when this dropped Rihanna was the only one of the three who had a worldwide internal hit with Pon De Replay.
If we were basing it off this performance, Amerie would be the star, not Rihanna. But alas, life choices, management and pure ol luck is a major component to it all too
lola Quiroga Amerie was also a whole 25yrs old while the other two were only 17 lol. That’s 8 more years of adult experience & growth while they were just starting out. High school age vs. mid twenties makes a difference
butterflyszn why are you Lying? 😂 I’m a bey stan but she’s nowhere near 100 million albums sold. She’s at Around 35 million and Rihanna isn’t far behind.
was just in a boring meeting when Amerie singing this song just popped in my head so I had to watch it for the nth time afterwards. that was perfection
The best! The best! It’s amazing how well consumers our brainwashed. What was so awesome about this performance was the individuality of each artist. That relax/eccentric vibe Rihanna brings to the stage is always enjoyable. Her quirkiness compliments her. Amerie is a breathe of fresh air. Her movement and beauty isn’t defined by her sexuality . that by simply being herself people are captivated by that energy. Teairra Mari is that sex appeal. That’s sort always been apart of her artistry . Yet that sex appeal never outshined those vocals . She has a powerful voice. As far as comparing success to diminish someone else success. Indicates that a lot people don’t understand the spectrum of competitiveness. It very important to know what positive competitiveness is and what negative competitiveness look like. Example. One friend can be so competitive and negative that he won’t workout with a friend or partake in any healthy habits or teach any to his friends or learn any directly from his friend. because his competitiveness is so negative and diminishing. While there can be two friends whom w workout together share healthy meals together and habits. Yet while there can be some competitiveness in the relationship is a positive competitiveness. A lot the vibes here seem like they are fueled by negative competitiveness. Comparison with out diminishing Rihanna has timing on her side and not only that her aim. Her drive and her taste in music is Devine. Her voice is complex yet at times it’s that simplicity to it that consumers have never gotten tired of Rihanna album after album. What she aims to accomplish. She dose. She’s been a pioneer for not giving fuck about what other people think. People have developed confidence from her vibrations. Amerie is extremely accomplished ,educated. And still is in demand and songs from her catalog has been used countless of times in film and tv. Her publishing’s and business endeavors are lucrative. If you want a make comparisons artist have sold 50 million records and have a net worth of 500k (no shade) Amerie has sold 10% of that and is estimated to be worth around 6 million. That’s a lesson. When it comes to T she’s living her life and has had success in the most brutal industry ever the music industry.
Theres really something about rihannas charisma and appeal that hooks you up. Never mind the vocals but damn youll really get addicted just by watching her
I love Rihanna, She progressed well in the industry! She's one of the best female artists in the game & she aint going no where, all you haters can eff off!
Roshawn Hinds no she did not see her as a threat Beyoncé saw rihanna perform and seen her potential and told La Reid to pay close attention to her and he listened
@@shayjones8887 You’re not that bright are you. Beyoncé CLEARLY saw Rihanna was the LEAST talented of all these ladies. I mean it’s clear as day in this performance. She can’t keep up dance wise, voice is meh, and she doesn’t even know how to hold the mic. Teairra Marie shined bright, and Amerie was amazing.
the REAL shade about this performance is that Amerie has the strongest voice of the 3, and they gave her the tiniest bit of the song.
she definitely should have been lead... she has the vocals, dance and looks lol
agreed! she's so underrated!
i agree ..i think she droppin new music tomorrow
lol i was just thinking that lol lol lol
Yep, that's right!!!
Amerie whn she gives it her own signature "when you really want none" love it
It was the signature for me.
She killed that part
Yessssit was so her I loved it
You can tell Michelle was crying inside lol
1:19 You can tell Michelle was crying inside when Amerie sang ‘when you ain’t really want none’ lol
It’s sad that the industry couldn’t support them all. They’re all talented. Sad that Amerie and Teairra Mari didn’t make it. Super talented.
@Miles Goodison-Fearon Rihanna wasn’t the strongest initially but I will say she did end up honing her craft and made herself the it girl she is today. She was given an opportunity of a lifetime by coincidence and made the best of it

Dashara XXX it’s my name dumb ass people’s names are Jesus but of course like i said earlier you’re STUPID ....and her voice is amazing seen her in concert she sings good but idc what you say she’s Already she best selling artist of our time so she can care less about what you have to say and she helps people in need and raises billions unlike other celebs with her CLF foundation clearly you don’t know shit about Rihanna because if you did you wouldn’t be saying shit like this. Plus she stays being the most influential female artist from 2000s up stay mad not only is she a talented artist she’s also a business women and ceo a multi billion dollar company... so she’s set for LIFE unlike your fav artist who can’t compete and wish they had 10 percent of her success and talent
Amerie!! One of a kind✨
amerie is so beautiful. wish she had had better luck in the industry, one thing is a timeless amazing record
Amerie and teairra were both refined here. It's shocking that rihanna was the only one that got the stardom.
Maybe not so shocking, if we knew what was happening behind the scenes? 🤔 But yes, all three ladies deserved success.

Rihanna ist einfach besser😉
When she was even the least impressive here😂😂😂😂
Cse Rihana rebranded herself as bad girl riri, the others had the generic pop girl package at the time. Remember when she cut her hair and had the edger look that made her a star.
I miss teairra and Amerie two of my favorites from back when. So sad what happened to their singing careers.
-I hate that these ladies all ended up in different positions in their careers at this time, but I'll always give credit. They ALL delivered sassy, attitude and gorgeous! As individuals and coming together, it was a great to see these respectable, beautiful young ladies just enjoying themselves before music turned to what it is now.
Amerie did that!!!
Still love and celebrate Ameries iconic music 🎉
Rihannas vocals were good tho,amerie was awesome
Rihanna sounded terrible
@@claireajibola3287 she didn't tho 😕
Thankyou this was her best ever for live that vocal she hit when she came in
@@claireajibola3287 LMAO terrible 😭? Now you’re kind of reaching lolll
@@claireajibola3287 rihanna was only 16/17 years old pretty impressive. amerie is really good too :))
They all looked equally beautiful. 😍😍😍
That , was an AWESOME performance! I must start watching the WORLD MUSIC AWARDS! They sounded great!
1humanonthe3rdrock they stopped the award show a while ago. Around the year 2010.
Teairra and Amerie Both Underrated Beautiful Queens as well
Rihanna’s Caribbean accent is the cutest😍
here for Amerie!
when Destiny's Child came out in 1997, i somehow *knew* Beyonce was going to be a big star. i didn't see Rihanna coming at all. i honestly didn't think she'd last longer than a year after her debut. you just never know.
Rihanna had like 5 albums out before she really got big smh
+Aisha Wade That's not true! It was her 3rd album Good Girl Gone Bad that propelled her to megastardom!!!
+Aisha Wade ehh id say after rated R she got big
Parker No, it was Good Girl Gone Bad that made her big, because that's when she embarked on her first tour, and that album is her most successful album to date, not Rated R.
I kno i kno. Umbrella really was her first single that branded her cuz thats when she also changed her hair. Im talking about general publicity and fame. A world tour doesnt mean anything plenty irrelevant artists do it.. i.e. ciara, austin mahone etc.. After the whole chris brown incident and what not and then she comes back after her year hiatus with rated R she really blew up cuz thats when everyone noticed this new different direction she was going. And actually rated R did better critic wise and general acceptance wise. I cant speak on sales
I swear, Amerie is fuckin' gorgeous !
Rihanna's voice sounds so trendy thats why she can be the biggest.
But Amerie's confidence ,smile and movings are so everything❤
And Rihanna remains the only one unique and bold enough to be a reign on the music bizz. She was really beautiful on that peformance such grace. Love her
Rihanna wasn’t the best performer here but her vocals stood out the most idk what yall talking about 😭😭
She was never a great vocalist or a strong performer.....But she's pretty, has star quality with the curated image/brand she made & made good business decisions.
I liked her part too.....they all did well but I felt Rihannas performance stood out because it had a lot of personality.... her voice sounded pretty and controlled....but this isn't taking from Ameria and tearra marie
Everybody but Amerie sounded like great Karaoke. That's not shade but I could tell it was a tribute. Amerie was able to make it her own and remind you yeah this is destiny child song but I'm Amerie "when you ain't really want none". She served that small part and was serving physically too. Rihanna was pretty, but was singing a little in front of the track. And her dancing a lil stiff. Tierra actually serving vocally and physically but again sounds like great Karaoke.
Amerie will always b the Queen to me 🙏🏼♥️ 👑 love that woman
Such a good era what a time ❤
Everyone watching this is rooting for Amerie, not Rihanna... very clear what happened after this performance. Good on Amerie for taking the high road.
@Likedbymany 3 yrs late but Bey saw her as a threat and took her sound (Amerie sang 1 thing) for her solo album BDay. So Bey told LA Reid she liked Rihanna instead and supported her career bc clearly, from this performance riri was the weakest performer and Bey prob thought her career would die out eventually and that Bey can keep her spot as top dog in the industry. It worked out for both of them though, but Amerie got thrown under the bus for having talent that rivals Beyonce's. Her label also wanted to give 1 thing to JLO so she did the smart choice by leaking it to the radios. The label also pushed her not to make it a single but she did so she pissed off her label even more lol
@@tehmaimed aha
@@tehmaimed oh gimme a break. Beyoncé did not see Amerie as no kind of threat. Amerie is extremely talented but IN NO WAY is she on Beyoncé’s level. Let’s not forget she was the only black R&B artist killing it WORLDWIDE when she debuted.
She thrived in the industry amongst powerhouses like Britney Spears, Christina, Brandy, *NSYNC, Pink, Avill, Eminem and others and managed to make her mark and is the only one still killing it! In no way was amerie a threat to her.
And another thing: It’s all about potential and stardom in this industry. Being able to find someone who can sing in Hollywood is a dime of a dozen however finding someone with star power and potential is the holy grail. Amerie had the vocals and talent but Rihanna had the star power which Beyoncé clearly took note of. And she was absolutely right bc Rihanna took off from here!
Ima end off with this: when this dropped Rihanna was the only one of the three who had a worldwide internal hit with Pon De Replay.
@@tehmaimedthe fan fiction is crazy
She had no choice. She got pushed out
AMERIE ✊🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
GO AMERIE! GIVE US EVERYTHING!
If we were basing it off this performance, Amerie would be the star, not Rihanna.
But alas, life choices, management and pure ol luck is a major component to it all too
BëllëNome7xChanson shut the fuck up...your jealous ass all over here!
This industry is connected to occultism,You do right,stay devoted and you get promoted/uplifted.They manipulate everything.
lola Quiroga Amerie was also a whole 25yrs old while the other two were only 17 lol. That’s 8 more years of adult experience & growth while they were just starting out. High school age vs. mid twenties makes a difference
This is amazing, one of those rare gems
All of them killed it 😍💙
Amerie was stunning and beautiful. 😍😍
Riri and Amerie are freaking gorgeous!
Teairra Marí killed it 🔥
Rihanna paid tribute to Destiny's Child and went on to outsell the group and all its members. Truly iconic. We have to stan.
Ntu2ko Navy she only outsells beyoncé is singles sales... beyoncé has sold close to 100 million albums worldwide
butterflyszn Check him😂
Wavvey he was giving miss fenty too much. she could sell a single like mariah but 2 out of her 8 only went #1...
butterflyszn The Navy needs to mind there manners and keep the queens name out they mouths😂
butterflyszn why are you Lying? 😂 I’m a bey stan but she’s nowhere near 100 million albums sold. She’s at Around 35 million and Rihanna isn’t far behind.
Loved it!! Amerie is so beautiful.
All of them looking beautiful but Amerie was slayed this scene for her vocals.
Has anyone noticed how Amerie kinda resembles Kourtney Kardashian?
but Amerie is prittier
Yesss Just thought that
As soon as I saw her i thought the same thing!
Yesss I been saying it for yearrrrs!!
It’s been years that I noticed that and yes Amerie is prettier
AMERIE !
Amerie and Teairra Marie did a GREAT job
was just in a boring meeting when Amerie singing this song just popped in my head so I had to watch it for the nth time afterwards. that was perfection
The best! The best! It’s amazing how well consumers our brainwashed. What was so awesome about this performance was the individuality of each artist.
That relax/eccentric vibe Rihanna brings to the stage is always enjoyable. Her quirkiness compliments her. Amerie is a breathe of fresh air. Her movement and beauty isn’t defined by her sexuality . that by simply being herself people are captivated by that energy.
Teairra Mari is that sex appeal. That’s sort always been apart of her artistry . Yet that sex appeal never outshined those vocals . She has a powerful voice.
As far as comparing success to diminish someone else success. Indicates that a lot people don’t understand the spectrum of competitiveness. It very important to know what positive competitiveness is and what negative competitiveness look like.
Example. One friend can be so competitive and negative that he won’t workout with a friend or partake in any healthy habits or teach any to his friends or learn any directly from his friend. because his competitiveness is so negative and diminishing.
While there can be two friends whom w workout together share healthy meals together and habits. Yet while there can be some competitiveness in the relationship is a positive competitiveness. A lot the vibes here seem like they are fueled by negative competitiveness.
Comparison with out diminishing
Rihanna has timing on her side and not only that her aim. Her drive and her taste in music is Devine. Her voice is complex yet at times it’s that simplicity to it that consumers have never gotten tired of Rihanna album after album. What she aims to accomplish. She dose. She’s been a pioneer for not giving fuck about what other people think. People have developed confidence from her vibrations.
Amerie is extremely accomplished ,educated. And still is in demand and songs from her catalog has been used countless of times in film and tv. Her publishing’s and business endeavors are lucrative. If you want a make comparisons artist have sold 50 million records and have a net worth of 500k (no shade) Amerie has sold 10% of that and is estimated to be worth around 6 million. That’s a lesson.
When it comes to T she’s living her life and has had success in the most brutal industry ever the music industry.
Amerie....come back please! You rocked hun!
Theres really something about rihannas charisma and appeal that hooks you up. Never mind the vocals but damn youll really get addicted just by watching her
I love Rihanna, She progressed well in the industry! She's one of the best female artists in the game & she aint going no where, all you haters can eff off!
All three of these women are so incredibly beautiful and talented. It's a pity they didn't all achieve the same success as Rihanna.
Teairra had so much star power😩 what happened?😩
I know, how the hell did she go from THIS too love and hip hop?
Roshawn Hinds no she did not see her as a threat Beyoncé saw rihanna perform and seen her potential and told La Reid to pay close attention to her and he listened
Bruh....???
@Roshawn Hinds she had a lot of girls as threats aaliyah and amerie
@@shayjones8887 You’re not that bright are you. Beyoncé CLEARLY saw Rihanna was the LEAST talented of all these ladies. I mean it’s clear as day in this performance. She can’t keep up dance wise, voice is meh, and she doesn’t even know how to hold the mic. Teairra Marie shined bright, and Amerie was amazing.
Amerie has the best voice out of all
They all sounded so beautiful and melodic 🥺❤️
Amarie was slaying!!!
She could not move her waist did you not notice
Lorraine Mamvura no I didn’t notice, I was too busy paying her complements
😂😂😂😂😂😂haaaayaaaaaa
