my favorite song on the album

lastdecember said:

Really? I like it too. I think my favorite is I Need You.

I like this song but I love "Teenage Love Affair" more...

dragondayz said:

thats close for me too. "thing about love" is also up there though some may find it "cheesy", but "sure looks good to me" has had me hooked, mainly because of her emotion in the song, the rasp in the voice, those are good things, most artists now try to sound "too perfect"

wow, that was amazing. I havent' picked up the cd yet because I really hated "No one" but I will make a point to go out and get it. She looks amazing too...

lastdecember said:

Yeah, I love That's The Thing About Love too, especially the live version.

she does

Thanks for the link. She looks gorgeous. I'm really enjoying her new cd. It took a while, but I'm hooked now.

I really want 2 like her but she just comes off as a poser 2 me. I don't know why.

Graycap23 said:

I don't know why either. I don't understand why so many people refer to her as a poser. I just don't see it.

She seems to have everything most people want in a popular artist, but there is so much hate for her out there. Personally, I really like her and am glad her new cd is doing well.

I can't put my finger on it. I wish her the best though.

Empress said:

I don't understand how anyone can not see it.

midnightmover said:

Can you try to explain what you see? Seriously, I'd like to know.

Graycap23 said:

i can see it in a way. She tries to make everything deeper than what it is, and she tries to make herself seem better than her peers.

Alicia is my favorite artist, but i'm starting to think she's on the same level as her peers..

I want her to step it up a couple of notches. I think we all do.

She reminds me more and more of George Michael (but with only adequate pipes).

Basically, she could easily get by on her looks alone, but she's trying to be taken seriously as a musician despite the model looks. Like GW, she doesn't always pull it off. Still, I do respect the effort, because too many of her contemporaries aren't even trying.

And yes, because of this GW similarity, her performance of "Freedom 90" was sick.

Someone broke it down about her awhile back on here. I forgot who that was

Sounds like a Stevie Wonder song

ElCapitan said:

Do you wear glasses because we can't be seeing the same person. Robin Thicke's wife looks almost exactly like Alicia Keys, but actually looks astounding. Alicia Keys....."MEH!!!" Pretty, but not gorgeous by any means. What are people looking at when they see her.

FarrahMoan said:

Alicia and Paula don't look anything alike. I've met Paula and her mother

Janfriend said:

Yeah, they do. At least she did on IdleWild. It was crazy. I was thinking, "Did Alicia get a dental plan working or something?" And, it's not like Alicia's teeth are "THAT" bad. But, Paula looks better to me. Alicia has her moments when make-up does wonders. But, without the make-up, she's just the typical pretty bi-racial lady. I used to find her attractive, but then I started viewing her mannerisms that turned me off. Either way, she's a pretty good musician. Nothing phenomenal, by any means. But pretty good, nonetheless.

FarrahMoan said:

The way she looks in Idlewild is not how she looks all the time. Did you see Deja Vu?

Paula


Alicia


They don't look alike

Here's a typical pretty biracial lady

Janfriend said:

That's about it, there. Alicia's pretty. But, she isn't Lena Horne.

FarrahMoan said:

Where did Lena Horne come from??

Janfriend said:

I don't know. She's hot, I guess. Anyway, I can't find the right person to compare Alicia to, but she's not beautiful, by any standards. The fact that she is so manly even comes through in a lot of her photos, now! So, I can't really find her butchyness attractive! Sorry.

FarrahMoan said:

I was just saying she doesn't look like Paula. I don't think she can really help how her face looks and she tends to have a lazy eye which effects her photos. I'd say she's at least pretty

Janfriend said:

Which I would agree with. It's not her eyes, though. It's more how she carries herself. She's not like.....I don't know. She's not the type I would be attracted to. Like I've said before, she reminds me of Allen Payne when she speaks. Exactly like him.

FarrahMoan said:

Sure, it's everybody else who's wrong.

Look I'm not arguing tastes, if you think she's just meh, well that's what you think. Lets just agree that a lot of people seem to 'think' she's quite attractive and leave it at that.
