NEW MUSIC FROM ALICIA KEYS
Wednesday, November 21, 2007

♫ Alicia Keys - Hurt So Bad
Wow. I absolutely love this song. I see why it didn’t make the original release of As I Am, but I am absolutely loving this song. From Alicia’s voice, to the arrangement, to the production of the song, it is pretty much flawless to me. She really did it to me on this one. It just puts me in a different time. I almost like this song more than I like anything else on the new record, which was released last Tuesday.
As I Am was the biggest selling debut for a female artist since Mary J. Blige with The Breakthrough, selling over 700K. You can’t turn on MTV or VH1 without seeing her! Way to go, Alicia. She’s really doing it this time around.
Make sure you check Alicia Keys’ MySpace for frequent updates about shows and everything else that’s going on with her.

alicia actually outsold marys first week sales this time around. mary cleared 727,000, while alicia pushed 742,000. you cannot go by what hitsdailydouble reports, they give you a close estimate, not the total number sold.

Ok Ok the song is not top quality!!!!!!!!! everything that Alicia does is not going to be good people DAMN!!!!!!!!!!! and just because B puts music up, his comments don’t make the song better. I used to ride with Alicia but now she has become a product!!!!!!! I bet if she made a song about the alphabet all these fools would say that was HOT, don’t listen to the name go by the music that your hearing. I wish her the best (Alicia) but B can we please get artist on here like Raheem Devaughn? and not these cookie cutter commercial A– studio only singers, let’s get some real music going on here…………………….

Yea, I listened to it.
Yea, it’s some hot shit.
Yea, I’m bout to go and illegally download it, so what?
Lol, I wish the shit was on the album..then I wouldn’t have to DO all that.
Teenage Love Affair and I Need You are the two songs I listen to everyday from the album. The other’s ones I listen to as well, the album is hot..it speaks to you on all levels and trials of life.
Ay yo Leash Leash, you did it again Mama!!!!

Love it and it does take you back to another time. It reminds me of the more appreciable music from back in the old days. I remember when I was a little girl, my mother use to play the oldies and I though it sucked. I never wanted to listen to the songs, because of the music playing behind the lyrics. I thought that I needed to hear a more upbeat sound. However, as I got older I ended up falling in love with the oldies. This song reminds me of the oldies. It puts me in relax mode.
I have her CD, but haven’t taken the time out to actually listen to all of her songs. I’m stuck on Jill Scott’s CD right now. But I will check Alicia’s CD out tonight.

I SEE ALL KINDS OF AWARDS COMING TO ALICIA KEYS FOR 2008, AND I’M SURE GRAMMY IS ONE OF THEM….
AND THE FUNNY THIS IS….JIVE RECORDS OR CLIVE DAVIS DIDN’T HAVE TO BUY HER ALBUMS FOR HER TO REACH OVER 700K IN SALES..
TRUE TALENT ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have so much respect for Alicia because she has been able to stay true to her musical roots and not let the hype of music mainstream interfere with her creativity and artistic abilities. There is so much pressure for everyone to look and sound the same and she hasn’t fallen to these preconceived ideas about what a superstar is. She is a SUPERSTAR without jeopardizing her musical integrity. I love her. I don’t have her CD yet but I do plan on copin that.

I don’t like this song, and I’m not a fan of Alicia Keys. I do agree that she is a great artist, and I feel some of her songs, but 9 times out of 10…I’ll bypass…
@#40..I do agree that that is a nice picture of Alicia.

I love Alicia and her work, as well as what she stands for and represents as a young woman. There are very few women in the music industry who can sell without having to be naked. Her voice as well as her spirit is amazing, and she shows that being humble still goes a long way even after you become famous. I love the songs. I was over at TMZ.com earlier, and you wouldn’t believe the awful, hateful comments they had posted. Thanks concreteloop for keeping it real AND positive. Go give her positive support please!

THIS IS A REMAKE. Little Anthony and The Imperials KILLED IT and everything Alicia does on this is a blatant rip on the song, including the lingering vocals.
It doesn’t fit her and I can appreciate trying to do something different from the original but.. UNH UNH. NOPE. It doesn’t quite get it.

Wow! For once, I completely agree with Brian’s review. I have been blazing this song for the last week. I love her voice and the arrangement. I could see then throwing this on the album after Where Do We Go From Here.
Alicia is unstoppable!

I like it, her voice very worn out in parts. I’ve come to the conclusion that she isn’t all that as a singer. Good songwriter though

I like the song, but it’s not one of the better songs she’s done. I like a bunch of songs on her CD (No One, Like You’ll Never See Me Again, Teenage Love Affair, I Need You) better than this one.
58.
WOW
Wednesday, November 21, 2007 /
wow! u go Alicia, true talent and beauty! shes unstoppable!

Congradulations to her on record sells,not really a fan of her voice.
But she is very talented,she’s a very gifted piano player but I think it’s
alot of gifted female r&b singers that don’t get their proper respect

I agree wholeheartedly…I love Raheem and the fact that some people are saying who is he lets you further know some people know NOTHING about real music.
I can listen to Alicia if I’m in a car and it’s playing yet I wont go out to purchase her album…I just can’t get into her like that and no I’m not saying I don’t like her because I do, she’s just not my taste and I have her last album.
As for this song I’m assuming she dropped it because it’s way to Amy Winehouse and having one Amy is enough ty.

i dont like the song, its like a supremes wannabe song gon wrong IMO
i tend to hate most of her music and im usually disappointed when i hear her albums but she puts out really good singles.
its great that she doesnt take off her clothes to sell an album but at the end of the day she still fits in with the conventional and commerical image that the music industry promote and that most people irrespectable of their race or nationality like.
62.
lol
Wednesday, November 21, 2007 /
@ # 50 ..AND BEYONCE’ S (B-DAY) IS ALSO NOT ELIGIBLE FOR A GRAMMY ..SO I GUESS RIHANNA WILL WIN R&B ALBUM OF THE YEAR…..

OVER 700k the fist week? Wow! What other female can do that these days? Well, I guess Mary did it, lol. Good for her. She deserves it. Alicia is beyond talented, and she’s impossibly gorgeous. I hope this success means I will be seeing more of her.

#62 They put Rihanna in Pop. Amy Winehouse will probably win her’s is in R&B.
Fantasia & Keyshia Cole are both eligible.

NM Amy Winhouse was submitted to Pop. Her label is stupid. Anyway Fantasia, Keyshia and Neyo are all submitted in R&B.
Rihanna is submitted in Pop
John Legend is submitted in Pop. WTF.
I just looked at the submissions.

like punnkfresh said, this is a REMAKE. i knew it couldn’t be hers b/c in all honesty the musicality of it is better than practically all of her songs, except for “diary” and one or 2 off the new album

This is actually an old school classic sung by Little Anthony and the Imperials back in 1965. “Hurt So Bad” by Little ANthony and the Imperials. The original sounds just as good as Alicia sings it.
