Tedious cunt! People say she's deep because she sings generic soul music and wears a 10 foot turban.
Her music makes me yawn...

Agreed. I find her unbelievably boring. I don't understand why she's credited with resurrecting soul music when all she does is make rubbish copies of stuff that was good 30 years ago. Falling is officially the most overplayed song EVER (I actually can't bear to listen to it anymore).
On the plus side, she's very pretty and she seems like a nice girl. Doesn't make her any more interesting though.

My friend is "friends" with her (basically she sees her whenever she comes over to England) and told me that Alicia calls reckons she's a vegan even though she wears leather and has a fur coat. That and her music was enough to make me not like her.

I hate people like that. I know this is off-topic but J.Lo does the same thing and is also an idiot. She wore mink lined boots on a photo shoot and told everyone to pretend like she didn't know they were mink so she wouldn't get angry animal activist types on her back.
But yes, Alicia Keys...I don't understand why someone who is so talked about doesn't appear to have any impact on anything. She keeps bringing out singles, but do people want them...She was supposed to be doing something new...but do people care?

Her mum sounds cool, though.
For years she struggled to bring up a child on her own in a New York ghetto and refused to sell Alicia's piano so that her daughter wouldn't have to sacrifice her dreams. Perhaps she should release an album next, instead. Or sell the story rights to a West End musical producer or one of the companies that make those Channel Five afternoon biopics.
After all, it's only fair now that her daughter has made enough money to be able to start dressing like a seventies hooker who performs a bit of black magic at the weekends.

I'm struggling to think of a female singer in the same age group who dresses less like a hooker than Alicia. Back on topic - no. Just....no. |

I used to think she was really overrated and rubbish (even though I loved Falling), but her second album is miles better than her first. Her big problem is her lyrics, which are often HORRIBLE- she can write amazing melodies but rarely has the best words to fill them.

I was disappointed with Songs in A Minor which I bought because I loved Falling. Then heard her perform on Jonathan Ross which was fab (can't remember the track and my mate has 'borrowed' her second album which I bought on the back of that and was just as disappointed with that. I think she's a really talented performer but just find most of the music dull.

The second album is far far far far far better than that awful first one.
I think she's harmless, nothing wrong with her, but nothing totally outstanding. Apart from her lovely pianoisms and amazin voice. Oh well.

Whilst Alicia is a little hit and miss, she doesn't deserve to be in here simply due to the wonder that is 'You Don't Know my Name'. Such a perfct little song, with a perfect little video. I get goosebumps every time I hear the spoken word bit....

I get goosebumps every time I hear the spoken word bit.... Me too. Especially when she says 'Can I speak to....to Michael?' Well, I can dream... She's also the best live act (except possibly U2) I have ever seen. It was really amusing how she made How Come You Don't Call Me? last about 15 minutes. |

The chest hair is surely just her head hair moulting? Look at how frizzy it is.
I love You Don't Know My Name. For some reason it always makes me think of Christmas. BUT the speaky bit makes me cringe- "your cufflinks are all shiny and bright"- wtf, is she retarded!?

She's a talentless hooker who's only capable of writing songs about her many broken relationships (with that skin, it's no wonder she can't keep a man) Big whoop, she can play the piano! Doesn't change the fact that all her songs have exactly the same tired theme. Change the record love.

On the right side of her chin it looks as though she's growing some facial hair too.
Some people really shouldn't be seen that close up!

first of all HAVE to disagree wit u obut the music....there arent a l ot of artists who put that much soul and honesty into their work....and uCANT deny shes talented;-)
dont know WHERE ur getting the 70s hooker thing....show me a pic where shes dressed like a hooker.....
...and the chest haoir thing sooooooo funny....she wins FOUR grammies...looks stunning....blows every1 away with her performance....and ppl are tlakin bout chest hair??!!!! ....I think its great that when SOO much emhpasis is placed on body image and EVER1 has to be perfect that she can let imperfections show
just my opinion.....

I still can't make my mind up about Alicia. Sometimes I love her, sometimes I wish I could strangle her.
I liked Fallen.
Then I saw her on Last Call With Carson Daly and was completely impressed! She just seemed amazing. She played some classical music, played some of her songs, and seemed really intelligent.
I decided to buy her album as soon as I could.
Before that happened, I saw her on an awards show, where everytime she was on stage, she acted like a ghetto thug. Purchasing her cd was postponed.
Didn't care for many of her follow-up singles.
Continued to see her acting like a ghetto thug.
Heard she wouldn't go see a bunch of her fans because they were lesbians and she had an issue with that.
But dammit, If I Ain't Got You, Diary, and Karma are all singles I enjoy.
I'm sure this will continue to be a love/hate situation. She seems kinda ignorant.
Peace,
Ben

She looks like my evil ex-flatmate who I soon got rid of, after drunkenly banging on her door with a friend shouting (that) all she would ever amount to was a Tesco worker. I hope Alicia suffers a similar fate - that gurrl needs la Mere and fast. Her spots are like tubs of Hagendaz. Anyone who lets Usher perv all over them should be drowned immediately. As Kelly would say, she has an amazing voice.
