My only problem with the video is that it doesn't have enough of "That's What U R". They should've utilized the fact that they had a guy on the bed there as a part of that song and then her get the mission or whatever and go with "Take Control" from there. I've always liked it, but the video made me fall in love with the song all over again. Let's hope everyone else feels the same way.

Yeah I was hoping "That's What U R" would be on longer, I think Amerie looked so great in that part.
She looked like Teairra Mari at the end, with the white eye makeup. That dance part was hot when they're stomping on the ground. I'm still a little confused as to the plot of the video, though.

Killed the Senator and the Photographer has evidence of it that she destroys at the end. ??? I actually could've done without the plot myself, but I do like how they had her singing intertwined with the story part though. Even if it had nothing to do with the song. Hopefully, done the line, we get a version with just the dancing. I think the BET audience would appreciate it more without the story line. The dancing was so hot that I want to see more of it.

^^I feel the same. Get a video like "1 Thing" with just the dancing, I wouldn't mind if it were just like that cause those parts were definitely my favorites.

The concept goes with the beat of the song. The production is like a Pulp Fiction/ Spy movie type beat. I believe it does sample from one of those types of movies.

I still wish I liked the song more but it's a hot video regardless. I hope "That's What U R" gets its own video somewhere down the line!

Thats exactly what she shoudl do. She shoudl make songs fro OTHER artists because her name doesnt carry enough weight to make them the type of hits they should be. She would make alot more money if she did that.

I love the video. The stomp dance at the end was too cute and the red dress was sharp. I like Take Control and it sounds great on the radio, but I wish she worked it just a little harder with her Amerieisms like she would a Rich Harrison track. This is an improvement over Touch, but not better than some of her other uptempos. Something about those Rich Harrison tracks brings the best out of Amerie. His tracks bring the soul out of her. But what can you do. But I'm excited for the new album.

Amerie's official bio was updated and includes stuff about the new album. I'm just add that piece here.
It also gives us some album titles. This was probably written by someone at her label, but it made me really excited about the album.

She don't need Rich to give her a sound they created and handed off to everyone else. Not cool.
