God, I'm Slow: Alica's "Like You'll Never See Me" I didn't really like "No One" much, all the chord changes were too predictable and the whole thing felt like a retread of Fallen.
But this song is damn good, can't believe I'm just hearing it for the first time. Looking at Billboard, it's so unsurprising that it's not doing as well. | |

This song does nothing for me. I love Alicia but, I think this CD, is too plain... "Love is like peeing in your pants, everyone sees it but only you feel its warmth" | |

Upon first listen it reminded me of 'Adore' and a little bit of 'Diamonds & Pearls' but then I realized that the chiming keys that start the song and play throughout are the same notes Lisa plays at the very end of 'Purple Rain' right before the violins!!!! .. Every minute of last night is on my face today.... | |

.. Its more than a few Keys, its the keys, the drums, the everything! It 'is' the last 2 mins of Purple Rain, Is this a sample or did she have an under the table deal with Prince? If I remember she played him the album before it was released, for sample clearance? . [Edited 2/26/08 17:56pm] | |

Look at the artistic quality of the music. Sorry it's not there on this album as much as she is selling because of the promotion behind her. Don't laugh at my funk
This funk is a serious joint | |

I know im just saying..its not just promotion, but people like her all together especially black and white women. Alot of older caucasian women love her I am learning while working at the bank and get in2 music. Lots of them comment on her being their favorite 'newer' artist.

It makes perfect sense that old white women would like her because she is so bland and tame. “The man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them, inasmuch as he who knows nothing is nearer to truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors.”

There are philistines in every segment of the population, but an old, white philistine will mostly gravitate to bland and tame junk, whereas a younger philistine will mostly gravitate to more energised junk.  “The man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them, inasmuch as he who knows nothing is nearer to truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors.”

Eh, I might go into something about generalizations, but after reading your clarification, you're probably mostly right  | |
