This is too funny and too real. Guys. Read your own posts in the beggining of the post, and see all the mud you were throwing on this song and this girl. Now, that you have heard it on the radio for about a million times, you suddenly like it. That clearly shows two things, 1) you did not know what you were talking about to begin with. This song is great, and it was great from the beggining. It is better than beyonces Crazy in Love, in so many levels. And it is more complex too, which is one of the reasons you did not like it in the beginning. 2) you people are so controlled by the media. You will like anything as long as it plays on the radio long enough. And do not say that is not true, because people like Eminem's songs, and he hasn't had a decend song in more than 2 years. But, Sorry for bursting the bubble of your miserable lifes. I hope some of you actually wake up. I'm glad you like it finally, because it is a great song. What I am interested in, is, what the hell thing is she talking about. Maybe that is another reason why I like the song, couse I never know what this one thing that is making her spin is. :) wooaaaahh chill out.....maybe the songs just a grower for them lmaop i can see her nose ending up like mjs

hmmm, I like the song. Amerie can be notorious for just repeating the same thing over and over and over as her chorus, though..just like in All I Need...but it's an overall good song..I hope all her songs on the new cd won't be like that

"One Thing" jumps to #52 on the Hot 100. It's one position away from matching the peak of "Talkin' To Me".

I just saw the video for the first time on MTV Jams (it is the "jam of the week" by the way) and I thought it was pretty hot. I didnt like the song before but the video made me like it just a little bit.

I wouldn't call it a scandal....just a wonderful talent, unlike Ashanti, that can really sing her ass off in spite of what some of you "negative thinkers" say. At least she can get down with the best of them.

This song is nothing but noise. Rich Harrison showed promise, but the fact that he has two of the most shrill, annoying songs at radio right now certainly doesn't help his rep in my book.
And I agree with several posters on this board who think Amerie sounds awful. She shrieks through the whole song. "Crazy In Love" was lightning in a bottle, he needs to stop trying to re-create it.

"One Thing" is #2 in Entertainment Weekly's Must list, and it's the highest ranked musical listing.

Why do people keep thinkin Amerie jumped on the Rich Harrison bandwagon. If some people would read up they would know that Amerie was one of Rich's first major works. They had been working together seens like 2000. He even produced her whole first album which I believe had the go-go sound of DC that Crazy in Love had. Oh and this song is FIRE!!!!

I actually like this...alot. Although I do agree that it is a bit too "Crazy in Love" for me to be comfortable with.
Am I the only one who thinks this Amerie girl is talented? She can sing 10X better than half these chickenheads running around (i.e. Ciara) and she has a rather pleasant tone to her voice. Nevermind the fact that she's gorgeous.

I really wish people wouldn't try to re-create "Crazy In Love". This is supposedly just the hype single. Her first single is supposed to be more traditional. Actually ,it doesnt sound a thing like "Crazy In Love" crazy in love was based more on the horns. And the drums are more heavier than the drums on crazy in love. Sure maybe the vocals aren't the best, but who cares, people embraced ashanti didn't they. "Talkin About" is a tough song as well as "Touch" can't wait to see videos for those 2 songs

Amerie should make a video for touch after this song and then for a 3rd single "rolling down my face" or "yeah yeah yeah" I'm afraid talkin about will get bashed bc it sounds similar to one thing but it should be a strong album track to spark interest and boost sales...oh and i'll be back to post the article about JLO wanting this song after amerie already chose it and then her wanting mariah carey's management! :o

J-Lo: Managing to Cause Trouble Thursday, February 24, 2005 By Roger Friedman Jennifer Lopez sure likes the spotlight. She's busy making a few people in her world unhappy even as we speak. Recent disappointments and missteps have caused her to once again re-evaluate her management situation. Those setbacks include her disastrous duet with husband Marc Anthony on the Grammy Awards show, her failure to snatch a potential hit single away from an up-and-coming singer (more below) and the botching of a documentary that was supposed to accompany her new CD. (I told you that story in a recent column.) Lopez apparently decided that that was it for manager Simon Fields, who produced her movie "Shall We Dance?" According to the New York Post, Lopez approached former manager Benny Medina — whom she sued last year and eventually settled with — about taking her back. Only one problem: Medina — who did not return my calls — now manages Lopez's mortal enemy, Mariah Carey. Four years ago, Lopez and Tommy Mottola stole music from Carey and put it on Lopez's album before Carey could release it. Carey — who does not consider Lopez a singer, and rightly so — has been furious with Lopez ever since. Sources say she only signed with Medina after it was explicitly understood that he could not bring Lopez back as long as Carey was a client. All of this is said to be proving a dilemma for Medina, who is about to launch Carey's comeback album, "The Emancipation of Mimi." All the early buzz is good, and signs point to a hit. Not so for Lopez, whose "Rebirth" album — due around the same time — may reveal more of the actress/dance/singer's vocal deficiencies than anyone cares to learn about. Who will now manage Lopez is up in the air, but one thing seems certain: It will not be Medina, at least not while he's working with Carey. As for that potential hit single: I told you recently that Lopez's awful new record, "Get Right," had been lifted from an unreleased Usher song called "Ride." Both records were produced by Rich Harrison, who also "created" Beyoncé's big hit "Crazy in Love" from the Chi-Lites' 1969 recording, "Are You My Woman?" Harrison apparently liked the horn and percussion parts written by the Chi-Lites. He used almost identical ones for "Ride," aka "Get Right." His major addition was an off-key horn riff so obnoxious it could wake the dead. It's been consequently dropped from the dance mix of "Get Right" so as to not cause illness in nightclubs. In order to turn "Ride" into "Get Right," Harrison dropped Usher's lyrics and added a rap by Fabolous called "Get Right." Got that? Now it turns out that Lopez and Harrison only concocted "Get Right" as a second choice. Their first choice was another "Crazy in Love" sound-alike Harrison had written called "One Thing." Unfortunately, another shrill hip-hop "singer" named Amerie had been promised that song in advance. I am told that Lopez tried everything to pry it away from her, but in the end Amerie stood her ground in this celebrity death match and kept it. Now "Get Right" and "One Thing" are being played back-to-back on radio, and they sound suspiciously alike. If "Crazy in Love" is added as a third record in the sequence, oy vey! You've got three Rich Harrison productions, two of which are based on the Chi-Lites and two that have a shrieky female lead vocal that can't keep up with the music. I am so glad amerie and mariah stood their ground!! sumone needed to show jlo that she is not going to get everything she wants all the time! I wish rich would not make his beats so similar!! crazy in love was a one of a kind hit I wish he would not try to recreate it. the other beats that he did for usher,destiny's child, and amerie's first album sound nothing alike and its hard to recognize his production but now he is just sticking to this gogo/funk formula ???

Hmmm that's very interesting. Didn't Amerie say she leaked this on her own or something? Makes since that she threw it out there to prevent J.Lo from releasing a version on her album.
