She never meant for that line to be about Sean Kingston. I think you misunderstood that line in the Amerie song. She never meant for that line to be about Sean Kingston.

I'm not sure if it was, but I loved it because it felt very honest and, again, universal. I think uinversality was what Sugababes were going for with this release; before Keisha got booted she sort of went out of her way to disown their last album, which itself was "very British" sounding. But watered-down blandness and mediocrity does not equal being universal to different audiences. @chachwitablog: This is totally a good point though; when I first heard it, I was certain it must have been in a commercial or something, because it felt incredibly familiar.

I was like, yes, YES YOU HAVE, you just don't remember. But you HAVE heard it if you were in a bar or club or near a radio or anything while the song was around. It was so infuriating though, I played it for them and they still said they had never heard it! Sorry, that's really neither here nor there.

She is a very universal pop artist, and I would like it if she did better. This track really is Sean Kingston Feat. Sugababes, no? I had been looking forward to "Thank You For The Heartbreak" since the Capital FM live version was actually quite a stomper, and while it's nice to have a bookend on Keisha's work with the band, it's very demo-ish. Crap effort all around. I love Amerie and find that she is the one artist who, when presented to pop-minded friends who haven’t heard of her, instantly wins hearts.
