Facts

Amerie

• Amerie's first album entitled "All That I Have" was certified Gold and her single "Why Don't We Fall In Love?" did extremely well yet Amerie felt her next album needed to be different, "On All That I Have," she confesses, "...a lot of people saw me as being this goody goody, which isn't a problem but it's only one aspect of my personality. Before I even started writing for this album, I already knew I wanted to talk about things I didn't talk about before. That's why I named this album Touch. I wanted to reveal a little more of myself this time,"
• To date, Amerie has a two albums (Both Gold), two major tours and a leading role in the hit romantic comedy, "First Daughter".
• Her singles include "Why Don't We Fall In Love?", "One Thing" and "Touch (Feat. TI)".

Mariah Carey

• Mariah Carey's singing career was off to a high start with her first nine albums reaching 3x Platinum (The majority of those nine albums went over the 3x Platinum mark) and her debut album sold a whopping 9x Platinum. However, Mariah soon hit a 5 year slump as she released her album "Glitter" along with a corresponding movie named "Glitter". The album went Platinum and was heavily criticised. Her next albums, "Greatest Hits", "Charmbracelet" and "The Remixes" managed to go Platinum ("The Remixes" still uncertified), this caused Mariah to go into an emotion breakdown and in result, she decided to stay out of the public eye for a while. In 2005, Mariah Carey released "The Emancipation of Mimi" and it instantly went 3x Platinum, this was her first album with singles which stayed at the number one spot on the Billboard chart for over two months.
• Mariah Carey was voted as having the "Greatest Voice" in the year 2003 beating out Whitney Houston (#3), Christina Aguilera (#5) and Céline Dion (#9). She is said to be one of the most talented musicians in the industry today.
• Her singles include "It's Like That", "We Belong Together", and "Shake It Off".
