Customer Rating: Summary: PERFECT!! Comment: I loooved Alicia's debut, Songs in A Minor. I thought every track was great and i fell in love with her. Her second album, Diary of Alicia Keys, I liked tracks 1 through 7...7 being "Diary", the best song on that album. I really was not feeling anything too much after track 7 on that album...but i was still a huge fan. I saw her in concert after she released "Diary" and she was AMAZING. I will def make it a point to see her again in concert when she tours again. I am so PISSED i missed her this summer because i think this is her best work ever! Every track is a great song! She has a more mature raspy sounding voice and has mixed so many styles of music from I Need You to Like You'll Never See Me Again to Where Do We Go From Here to Superwoman, everything's so different and new. It's a perfect mix of fun upbeat songs ( Teenage Love Affair and Wreckless Love ) and lovely ballads ( Sure Looks Good to Me, Prelude To A Kiss, Tell You Something (my fav if i had to pick ONE)....I give every song on this album 5 out of 5 stars! Customer Rating: Summary: Outstanding Album Comment: An amazing artist...may seem like a big stretch to go from Arrica Rose to Alicia Keyes But clearly the commonality between the two is stronger than you may think. Clearly Alicia is such a strong R&B artist with a different style ; hip hop at its best but both of these artists reek with soul in their music. They both sing in their sultry voices with such feeling in their voices and accept no limits when it comes to putting a label on their styles. This album by Alicia is outstanding.
Customer Rating: Summary: Enjoyable Music Comment: I started not to buy this album, but the price at Amazon.com made it ridiculous not to. I'm glad that I did! I enjoy all of it, especially the song "Superwoman." Alicia Keys has a way with melody that makes you hum the song to yourself hours later. Thanks Amazon! Customer Rating: Summary: Alicia Keys - AS I AM Comment: This CD is awesome. It came so fast, brand new in shrink wrap. Thanks so much. Customer Rating: Summary: Alicia Keys Is Still Amazing Comment: I'll admit at first listen I wasn't completely impressed. After a second listen I fell in love with the album (just took me a while to get adjusted to the "new" Alicia). Some of my favorites are No One, Superwoman, Lesson Learned, and Teenage Love Affair.
Great album. You get alot of variety and a new side of Alicia.
