Stephanie Mills. Hungry? Just look in the mirror and get fed up. | |

Vocally, I don't think much of Keys, but Mills, on the other hand, is a powerhouse and an R&B LEGEND.
I appreciate Alicia Keys for her technical abilities such as writing and musicianship but Ive always thought she was an overrated vocalist...very average voice... her best vocal performance is "Fallen".
This isnt a competition...Stephanie Mills... | |

Timmy84 said: Steph. Never was impressed with Alicia's cover. Same here. Stephanie's version is almost as original as P's. Alicia tried to emulate Prince too much on her cover, which got annoying after awhile. The version she did on Unplugged was way better. Check me out and add me on:

Alicia OFFKeys shouldn't have touched this at all.
I prefer Stephanie's, but I'd say that Bilal made a great version of it as well. | |

Alicia Keys voice does nothing for me. | |

Same here. She screeches too much for my taste. I've always found her voice to be weak anyway. She tries to hit notes that are out of her range. Love her music though, but not a fan of Ms. Keys voice. "And When The Groove Is Dead And Gone, You Know That Love Survives, So We Can Rock Forever" RIP MJ 
"Baby, that was much too fast"...Goodnight dear sweet Prince. I'll love you always | |

My vote goes to Stephanie. And besides, Prince called Stephanie "one of the angels". So there! | |

That being said, I like Alica's arrangement. "Love is like peeing in your pants, everyone sees it but only you feel its warmth" | |

Stephanie for sure here. I like Alicia somewhat although i think she is overrated a bit as an artist. I just haven't seen a lot of growth since Diary of Alicia Keys. She did an excellent job with that album but the followups have been mediocre. Don't laugh at my funk
This funk is a serious joint | |

lol seeing that Prince's was a demo, that's an unfair advantage plus technology had advanced by the time Alicia did her's. | |

Stephanie gave it justice, but she made it her own though. | |

I agree. Especially after seeing her "perform" at Whitney's funeral. That performance proved to me that she is not as talented as I always thought she was. **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-

Stephanie sounds a whiny mess to me and I love her. I hated her version. So yeah, I'ma go with Alicia because I think its her best vocal showcasing her head voice and she nails it every time she performs it.
Prince >>>>>> Stevie Wonder = EARTH
Prince = WIND Chaka Khan = FIRE Sade = WATER the ELEMENTS of MUSIC | |

How you say - that's right and on point?! | |

What did Slick Rick James say - "that chick is crazy, none of them songs is in A minor." (It might as well be a car key for as I know about the reading and writing of music. Are the songs actually in A minor?) | |

I just youtubed the "performance." I did not care for it at all. They shoulda had Lana Del Ray come on with it over that. | |

Songs In A Minor refers to the songs being written in her youth. A is for Alicia. 
Why would you trust what a crackhead says?
