Pic: Se7en wants to enter the American market, Amerie (right), also wants to launch herself in South Korea, this duet could be considered a win-win situation.

Up until this point in time, it appears to me this “joint marketing” between Se7en and Amerie still tips the scale to the advantage of Amerie. I have yet to see this partnership rubbing off for Se7en in America, correct me if I am wrong! Perhaps we will know next month.

At a glance, Amerie who seemed to look like a Filipino but is a Black and Korean mix has returned to her homeland to her Korean compatriots.

Apart from often showing off her waist and large tattoo in the Korean words, earlier for her new album, Because I love It, she relied heavily on Se7en for the recording of Take Control, taking on the other singer´s popularity in Korea to her advantage.

Was the initial reaction successful? In May, Amerie performed two shows in Seoul´s AX Hall, each show had an audience of 2,000. The response was explosive.

Apart from returning to Korea for her singing career, hosting and drama were not difficult for Amerie. In 2004, she did BET station´s music program, The Station, thereafter in her movie, First Daughter, playing the role of a good friend to the wife of Tom Cruise, i.e. Katie Holmes who played the protangonist. Although the box office taking was only RM31.05 million (approx. USD 9 mil) but Amerie was only a big part casual freelance actress (i.e. supporting role), she was not responsible (for the low takings).

Amerie: Take Control (MV)

Amerie - Take Control over KM where she attempted to speak Korean at the end of her performance

SE7EN–Amerie - take control at the recording studio
Warning: Only meant for diehard Se7en Fans because the whole 3.46 mins of the song there were only two still pictures of them together in the recording studio and nothing else.

In Amerie´s lengthly interview in The Mail on 14 April 2007 but not a single word about her collaboration with Se7en! Just emphasis on her as very much Korean!

This video just came out today … it’s her newest MV! Not sure why i have her covered maybe cuz her website was nice enough to email it to me, and asked to spread the word ^^ aint i sweet? eh?

Ok ya’ll what do u think of the MV? i personally didn’t like the dance choreography! It had way to much up and down moves!

Amerie Mi Marie Rogers, the 27-year-old Korean-American rhythm and blues singer, songwriter, and producer was shocked to discover South Korean girls wear “skimpy” clothes, because she thought they’d be more conservative than Western women.

The Take Control singer - who is half Korean herself - was stunned to see local women exposing so much flesh when she first visited the country, and was even more surprised to see girls dancing half-naked in music videos.

She says, “It totally shocked me the last time I was out there actually - I thought everyone would be so conservative, and then I see these Korean videos and I can’t believe my eyes.”There’s all this flesh flying about. And then you walk around Seoul and all the girls are wearing the shortest skirts in the world. You just wouldn’t believe how skimpy they are.”

Now she is starting to collaborate with Korean artists, this time working with Se7en (pronounced Seven), the Korean pop idol who sang “Come Back to Me” and “Crazy.”
