Alicia Keys
Alicia Keys is filling in for Kelly Ripa on the Regis show today. That Philbin guy must be a eunuch because Keys is finer than a mo'fo. I can't listen to her or look in her direction without screaming: "GIMME SOME OF THAT GOLDEN STUFF!!!!"
I bet her doctor give her exams on the house!!! I'll stand in line just to have the privilege of being rejected. Making me religious over here -- wanna lay hands on her and freak in tongues... :p

I went to Zimbabwe. I know how white people feel in America now; relaxed! Cause when I heard the police car I knew they weren't coming after me!
Re: Alicia Keys
mojones,
She is d...damn fine!
I saw her first when she did that 911 concert and she sand [/i]Someday We'll All Be Free.[/i] She sounded good but something was missing. I could only think of what I heard somewhere, that you can't sing a love song until you've had your heart broken. That's what was missing. SHe was singing it with a smile on her face. When Donny absolutely KILLED that song it was the pain and torture that really brought it out.
That's why I like her look, and she's got a nice voice, but I can't listen to her music. It's all that bump-bump artificial new sound, with no depth to it. If she had come up in '73...

JTF,
I do feel you on all that for but when "Fallin" came out I was very surprised it hit because of the feel it had.But you are right what if Hathaway got ahold of that?

Re: Alicia Keys
JTF,
I disagree with your comment that she has an artificial sound now. I think she is one of the most talented and origional sounds out there. I mean, look at Ashanti or Britney Spears.

Re: Alicia Keys
brandes,
by "artificial" I meant the overall, overproduced sound that most music has today... and her music is no different. Her version of [/i]How Come You Don't Call Me Anymore[/i] is a perfect example. If you get rid of the awful sounding drum machine it wouldn't sound bad...

Re: Alicia Keys
JTF,
Of course, the same can be said for every rapper out there. I'm not dissing any music. But real singing, I'm talking a la Stevie Wonder/Pattie Labelle/Natalie Cole/Teena Marie, is light years ahead of anything on the market today. That's why Prince made the most money touring last year. He's a true musician who believes in playing music. His latest cd, though, leaves much to be desired. I like a lot of hip hop, but much of it has ushered in a pimp culture that's diametrically opposed to musicianship. As a classical trained pianist, there's no doubt that Keys is good. But true art isn't as marketable nowadays..
