Amerie and J Lo, meanwhile, came out with their songs, “1 Thing” and “Get Right,” around the same time in 2005 … with JL getting a slightly earlier release in January.Īnd spoiler alert … ALL of these songs were produced by Harrison, so of course they sound alike! Everybody was dipping their toe into the RH pool here.Īs for who did what first - between Bey, J and Amerie, that is - it would appear Beyonce was, in fact, the first of the 3 to trot out Harrison’s sound with ‘CIL’ (’04), even though KR might’ve arguably had it first with ’02’s “Can’t Nobody” - and perhaps others used it even before then. Fact is, he was making “go-go” beats for just about all them, and others in the game too … including Toni Braxton, Kelly Rowland and even Mary J.

In any case … both songs turned out to be hits - a lot of Harrison’s tracks did, in fact - and one question a lot of people are asking as a result is … why can’t we just appreciate everyone’s achievements and let the past live in the past? Indeed.Beyoncé snatched up her producer, Rich Harrison production & amerie’s writing style became the formula that made Beyoncé #1 Upon learning this, they say Amerie went ahead and leaked ‘1 Thing’ to radio stations on her own, and because it became so popular … Columbia had to back down and let it be. This has been a recurring theme in J Lo’s music career - Fat Joe even touched on it not too long ago - but the alleged tale goes … ‘1 Thing’ was supposedly being shopped to J Lo BTS, and the Columbia label heads actually wanted it to go to her instead of Amerie. However, there’s one other element here that’s also getting some attention as it relates to Amerie and J Lo, specifically … namely, old stories/rumors that Jen was allegedly getting prioritized over labelmates/contemporaries. Beyoncé snatched up her producer, Rich Harrison production & amerie’s writing style became the formula that made Beyoncé #1
