Forgotten Pop Stars Of The ’00s: Then And Now
Who are the most iconic but forgotten pop stars of the ’00s?
The ’00s were perfect. From the matching his-and-her denim suits to Paris Hilton’s murder in House of Wax, it was peak culture. How can you hate the decade that gave us Kelly Clarkson? You can’t. But, more than anything else, music defines the era. I’m talking about Beyonce going solo, Eminem losing himself, and Britney going toxic. But not every pop star of the 00s is as fondly remembered as the decade’s biggest hitters. For every Christina Aguilera, there are 10 popstars who burned bright, but sizzled out quickly. This doesn’t mean we loved them any less! So join us as we look at the era’s biggest stars, who you maybe haven’t thought about in years. And we’ll also look at where these forgotten pop stars of the ’00s are now.Amerie: Then
Amerie is best known for her international chart hit ‘1 Thing’, which peaked at number 8 on the Billboard Top 100. But in the 00s, Amerie was kind of everywhere. She was in First Daughter alongside decade-heavyweight Katie Holmes. She was also on the BET show The Center.
She was nominated for Grammy’s and her three albums were all relatively large hits, but while some people originally saw her as a rival to Beyoncé’s throne, that didn’t super work out…
Amerie: Now

Amerie has re-branded as Ameriie, which is the actual spelling of her name. While she has been dropped by Def Jam, she continues to release her own music. Ameriie is married to Columbia records executive Lenni Nicholson.
They are currently expecting their first child. Ameriie is still young enough that a comeback isn’t out of the realm of possibility, and anyone who has heard her first album, All I Have, knows she has the chops to conquer the world.
Christina Milian: Then
Christina Milian was a staple of the 00s. She was an actress, singer, model, and all around celebrity.
Her high point has to be ‘Dip It Low’, probably the single greatest song of the 00s. I mean you can’t top these lyrics: ‘Dip it low, pick it up slow, roll it all around, poke it out like your back broke, pop pop pop that thing.
’
Christina Milian: Now
Christina Milian hasn’t faded from the entertainment industry, she just isn’t everywhere like she used to be. She released an EP a couple of years ago. It really didn’t get too much traction, but she’s still releasing music!
Also, she was a lead on the short-lived John Stamos show Grandfathered, and was featured in The Rocky Horror Show: Let’s Do The Time Warp Again.
