[edit] Article Name

Shouldn't this go better under Amerie Rogers instead? -- Poli 04:01, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Nope. When possible we use the most common name. The only reason to move it to Amerie Rogers would be if there was some other artist named Amerie. CryptoDerk 08:29, Feb 18, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Vocal Profile..

Amerie has really 2,5? Cause I find very weird to have a singer like Amerie with 2,5, and BRITNEY SPEARS with 3,0... so please, people check that

do u guys think that amerie is going to win a grammy??

Indeed! Amerie is known as one of the best (and underrated) singers in R&B! Even Faith Evans has praised her vocal abilities.

[edit] her album is platinum?

are you sure her touch album is platinum?

Indeed, according to the BPI (you'll have to go Statistics then Certified Awards, since I can't seem to make a direct link) the album only recieved Silver status. Akamad 23:08, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

i was talkin about her album in the USA is it platinum or Gold?

• Her album is Gold, but her single 1 Thing is Platinum. --Revolución (talk) 05:51, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

I had a look on the riaa.com site, if you search "Amerie" as artist, it states that All I have is Gold, but does not list Touch as either gold or platinum, therefore, I am going to remove the reference to the platinum status. - Akamad 11:40, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

According to billboard.com her album Touch was certified GOLD in August 2005 so i put back the US certification being GOLD hope u didn't mind. can u hellp me i messed up on amerie's album information sorry

sorry my bad

[edit] Neither single...

I just need to know what this means:

Neither single, although their videos received a lot of attention from digital music video channels.

I'm going to assume that they meant to say "neither single was successful", but I'm not 100% sure. --Revolución (talk) 05:46, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Birth age

Some say 1978 and others say 1980. Which one is the true? Funk Junkie 21:59, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

• She was born in 1980. The people at NNDB.com confirmed it and they back up their information with Birth certificates and Driver's lisences and stuff.LAUGH90 23:53, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
