It was alright, but not as smooth as I'm used to hearing Sade do it. I like when it picks up, but that's when it kinda falls apart. It doesn't give Sade enough room to do her thing.

Other people for Sade to duet with ... Nancy Wilson? Ledisi? Maxwell?

... Rihanna?

I'd love to hear Nancy Wilson and Sade duet on "The Old Country," a superb song from the Nancy Wilson & Cannonball Adderley album.

Oh wow - I could definitely hear that!

...what's with all the hatin' on Alicia?

I mean, at least she has TALENT. Pick the top 10 artists getting hits on the radio, and they are mostly just entertainers.

ANYWAY...it would be AWESOME to see Sade perform a duet with Maxwell.

good one.

I think that both Sade and Alicia Keys are good artists. Neither one is what I would consider to be a really great artist. Sade can be a snooze sometimes and so can Alicia Keys. I did not like Sade's latest album at all - extremely boring arrangements and boring songwriting. Alicia Key's latest faired much better in my opinion, I liked it a lot.

Please baby jesus don't let Alicia keys show up during Sade's show in Chicago next Spring.

whatever

Sade is highly overrated imo

her singing isn't all that

she sings off key at times

Not a popular opinion, but I agree!

I enjoy Sade, but she's just "okay" for me. I have a couple of her songs on my iPod, but I wouldn't listen to an entire album straight through.

Promise, Stronger Than Pride, Love Deluxe are classics. Sade has a great overall niche. Sade's like that one piece of land within the borders of several states. She's jazzy, soulful, ambient, and a little bluesy.

I still don't get why Sade was there.

records to sell?

Alicia has SOME talent. But she is not as talented as a lot of people would like you to think (and that also goes for John Legend and India Arie). And off note, when the hell is she gonna pop that kid out? She's been pregnant for 50 million years already.

I like the duet!

Imagine Beyoncé would ruin a Sade song

with her overdone vibrato, now THAT would be bad!

Alicias pregnant belly is hugh

Nina Simone and Carole King to name a few

Okay! There we go. That would explain it because we don't have many threads about them.

I'm sorry I was wrong, and a dick.

cool

she's ok but a little too easy listening for me

i never understood why she is held in such high regards

I understand what your saying.. I remember wanting to see her in concert and i couldn't get any of my friends to go with me, they were all like nah i'm gonna past on her boring ass.. but i went by myself and had a great time.. matter of fact that was a great week for concerts with me... I saw 3 concerts that week.. Sunday was Stephanie Mills in the Wiz at the Beacon, Monday was Sade at the the theatre in MSG and Tuesday was Prince at Radio City... that was a great week

i had to google Stephanie Mills

It helped B.B. King a bit to sing with U2. Working with younger acts also helped Carlos Santana, Charlie Wilson, and the Isley Brothers (or rather it helped "Mr Biggs", lol).
