doesn't her new single LIKE YOU'LL NEVER SEE ME AGAIN sound like a sample from the ending of PURPLE RAIN??

or is it just me?

I doubt it's just you as it's been discussed by others previously e.g.:

my God what appropriate lyrics

You can't love Prince Too much, never! Imitation is the greatest form of flattery. If he likes you, everyone else gets sued.

i heard it too

i heard it too!! i was like "wait what..." lol

Oh, wow I heard it too.

(Fallin) sounds like a complete rip-off of James Brown's (A MANS WORLD)

(You don't know my name) sounds like a rip-off of a Young Michael Jackson song, take your pick on which one.

matter of a fact, most of her Big hits sounds like a song thats already been created, but just updated, and some call that talent.

Almost everyone is hearing it apparently, even my sister called and asked me did it sound like Purple Rain! I was like "huh? you too.....nah I don't hear it! "

A worthy song, with a beautiful melody.

I agree, but why is everyone hating on alicia keys on this forum, its ridiculous. Not that it really matters because she got the awards and talent to show for it. By the way, Beyonce is pretty, she can sing, and dance, but can she play an instrument, No. There are zillions of pretty women who can sing and dance there is nothing special about Beyonce. Now if anyone is over rated she is. I starting to agree with Prince now. Where are the musicians? What happen to bands, now there are groups with computerized music backing them up. I am not fond of Justin Timberlake at all, but at least he can play the piano and guitar. There are too many industry made groups and solo artist.

Why do we even compare entertainers to eachother like Alicia & Beyonce?! They both of the ARE VERY special in their own way. Beyonce doesn't really need to play an instrument to be special, she can sing her ass off, she has rhythm. Alicia's voice is much different from Beyonce's but that is part of what makes her an entertainer. Everybody is not gonna play instruments or dance or even sing but if you have that passion for what you are doing even if it's just standing there in one spot and reading poetry it's gonna sound good.....maybe not to everybody but we all can't please everybody now can we!. Saying it's nothing special about Beyonce bcuz she can't play an instrument is like saying Aretha, Patti, or any other singer who doesn't play is not special. Just my opinion though.

Beyonce can be copy by other potential artist. I have seen many who have a pretty face, amazing voice, and unique dance steps. This era of music is all that its about. Back in the day, music was more than just a pretty face and fancy dance steps.

KidaDynamite said:

Aretha plays the piano. I'm not sure about patti though.

EVERYONE has their tastes in music, no need to label anyone if they dont in fact like the artist in this thread.IMHO, Im not that into Alicia Keys, her music is okay but I choose different music then hers. Why is everyone hating on AK, I dunno the answer but everyone has a right to their opinion.

sooooo what.

If they can chat and converse without all the extra attention then so what?????

They probably have tons in common and would be more like brother and sister, but since Prince will NEVER find another Mayte.....

what's a guy to do?????

she also lifts the keyboard/bass line from "diamonds and pearls" if u listen closely

KidaDynamite said:

i beg 2 differ ..she's WHACK!!! alicia is the real deal

and don't even try and say beywhackce in the same breath as true singers like aretha and patti..or didn't u watch the grammies where A TRUE DIVA IN THE NAME OF TINA showed that imposter what time it is?
