I don't like this narrative forming in here as if she just sounds COMPLETELY different live. In a very large part, Amerie pretty much sounds like the recording. She's just hitting bum notes here and there. And we're also forgetting that although she looks great, Amerie is 45 year old. NONE of these girls that we like are sounding exactly like they did 20 years ago. Beyonce, Brandy, NOBODY! I think that Ameries voice has held up pretty fckn well. She just need to put some wd40 in her throat and oil up summa them notes she ain't been used to hitting in a while
