There she goes, posing again! Haha. But seriously, I have both her albums that were released in the States and think she is unique so I hope she does well.

I want the end of her first IDJ album era to look like this: - gold plaque (with sales of 600k-700k) - two Top 10 hits and another Top 20 one on R&B - a Top 10 hit, a Top 20 and a Top 40 on the Hot 100 I know Def Jam can make it happen, but the question is: will they? We all know how they handle some of their artists...

Exactly. Just because they paid for her and because she is on Def Jam, doesn't mean she is going to a priority, lol...but for her sake, I really hope they make her one. It's not like she doesn't deserve it after all her efforts or due to her talent.

Considering Def Jam shelled out the most cash for her, I'd like to think they're gonna put her higher up on the priority list. Interscope and Capitol wanted her as well.

I've been such a fan of Amerie from the day "Why Don't We Fall In Love" first surfaced online. I'm thrilled that there was a bidding war over her. She is such an underappreciated talent, and I've love to see her career taken to greater heights.

Here's the link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=niTGLRCuv6A&eI'm glad Amerie is letting herself be seen. She's talented and beautiful, promoting herself! I even saw her as a commentator on one of those VH1 Countdown thingies.

I know, I'm a Amerie fan but I find a bidding war hard to believe. Unless, of course, it was like....
25 cents? 50 cents? 1 dolla? 3dolla? 5 dolla? signed!
