The lyrics of this song apply to any love… romantic/friendship/family.
Life is short. Love like you mean it. I love it.

The album is hot. I will definitely be buying it.
Alicia is a breath of fresh air.

The song is just plain beautiful. I mean, there are no other words to describe it. I don’t think she’s biting prince as others are saying, I think it’s just a new style of music. Go Alicia! And I WILL be buying your album on Tuesday! 11/13

go Alicia. she’s so beautiful and talented.
Diary of Alicia Keys was a beautiful CD, i cant wait for the new one.
It’s gonna be serious. she left for a while, now shes back.
why do people seem to hate her so?

WoW
Alicia is really bringing it this album.
You go girl!!!
She’s so beautiful/talented
and this song is chill-worthy!

PEOPLE LOVE THIS SONG…

I STILL HAVEN’T HEARD THE WHOLE THING…I GUESS I’LL WATCH

Why it seem all light skinned people trying they best to get whiter?? Michael jackson must be a trend setter….People thinking white is soo good!!! what the world coming too??? I dont know if it’s the lighting or not..but she look too white for me..

SHE PERFORMED EXCELLENT THOUGH…GON GIRL!!!

she is naturally light skinned lol she looks like she always does, since she came out…..

Sang it mama!

@7 Alicia’s skin has ALWAYS been that tone. She promotes being BLACK and PROUD all the time. Light-skinned or blue-black, the woman can SANG.

This song is the new love anthem for real!! The words are powerful on so many different levels. All I can say is that Alicia is way beyond her years as an evolving artist. This woman is truly bringing it to the table and taking no prisoners. She’s a pure class act.

I can’t wait to get the CD!!!

wow.she is amazing

the perfect 2nd single choice.

LOL @ #7
She is half white….
And she has a very light complextion without the help of tanning or bronzing. What do u expect?
Geeeez….

Oh yeah… it looks like Beyonce ain’t the only one sporting the red lip. hahahaha

I agree, it’s an amazing song. Looking forward to the album. I need to get my copy soon.

I like this song. Go Alicia!

i can’t get enough of this song!!! Love it! Love it! Can’t say it enough!

I love this song. It sounds Prince inspired but a great performance.

This song is so hooooooot and different I love it!!! go girl!!!

wow simply beautiful she is the only female artist that i look up 2 as a role model 4 me.

now that’s the HOTTEST CHICK IN THE GAME!!!

even though her azz can’t sing worth a damn, she’s an enjoyable performer.

ALICIA ‘ s songs is perfect..I’ve joined a millionaire club where there are many fans of hers. She is so hot here.. People have been talking about her. She is really gorgeous!

ALICIA ‘ s songs is perfect..I’ve joined a millionaire club where there are many fans of hers. She is so hot here.. People have been talking about her. She is really gorgeous! BTW, the girls there are so

That song is soooooo simple and soooooooo lovely! I can’t wait to pick up this CD 2morrow!

OMG, dis song is my new jam. I just luv listenin 2 dis song!

LOVE THIS SONG…..I will definitely be buying her album.

so getting the album i love this song

I absolutely love this song! Alicia is really a talented young woman.

When I hear this song i think about the people i love the most! My son especially!
You never know what life holds. You can be here one day and gone the next. So enjoy every moment spent with your loved ones and don’t take it for granted…

This song puts me in the mind of Prince’s song “Adore U”….the lyrics are different but the themes are similiar.

Alicia is gorgeous as she is talented and I am enjoying her new cd.

..maybe its the lighting, but baby girl does resemble Mike Jack in this particular video…

Wow this song is so nice i love all her song i think she absolutely beautiful and dang she can play piano she the hottest chick in the game rite now she don`t have to bleach her skin like beyonce lol alicia got it lol

That was amazing… She is a true talent..

#2 She’s not biting Prince but this song and a couple of her other songs have a strong Prince influence.. If you never listened to Prince then you wouldn’t know.. It’s just a form of flattery, she’s not trying to pass it off as her own style..She’s too blessed/ talented for that..

#7 She’s mixed genius, of course she’s going to be light or look alittle lighter with make-up.. Let’s get over and passed this black on black race issue and move on.. Black is Black.. Peace

I love AKeys. I’ve always been a fan of her work. I don’t hate on Beyonce, Amerie and th e other girls that are in the industry. Everyone does their own thing. But AKeys is soulful. She stands out and i respect that about her. As for as her skin complexion ppl don’t understand a thing called bronzer and that artist go on vacation so they get tanned. And most importantly she is mixed. Plus the red lipstick stands out against her complexion so she looks lighter than she usually do. Lets not get into things that are not worth stressing over, Much love Alicia. Keep doing you boo.

sounds a little like the purple one…but i like it

It is so good to hear an artist that sings about something meaningful. It has been awhile since she put out new music, but I will be out to purchase her album on tomorrow. These days it is very hard to find someone that has substance with their music. I’m really loving Chrisette Michelle’s cd I AM. Please don’t burn a copy of MS. KEY”S new album it’s worth the purchase price. I’m not really feeling the single NO ONE, but when I heard the whole album on vh1 I was really pleased. So if anyone else out there is interested in some true talent. Don’t forget about Joss Stone’s new album and Chrisette Michelle new album. This day an age true talent is not getting the rightful recognition.

I don’t know what “Stripped” is, but I wish I had been there.

beautiful song from a beautiful woman..cant wait till that album comes out

i was scarred of how she would perform this song..but she did very well gone Alicia do ya thang!!!!!

her voice sounds strained on the recorded version but its much better live. maybe its the new tonsolitis way of singing.

great performance tho but she looks like Michael Jackson. i never thought she was that pretty she looks feline to me but shes a very talented lady

guess the light light foundation look is in in Hollyweird

This is truly a lovely song…the harmony of it makes you want to call up that special person and tell them you love them before its too late…keep doing ya thang, alicia…keep doing ya thang.

@ #7 Alicia is HALF-WHITE, so she doesn’t have to “try” to be white…half of her genes are. The blood-red lipstick just shows how pale her skin really is.

Alicia is the isht! I’m loving her album, so far. She should’ve called it “Purple Rain,” Part II…after the rain has gone…cuz this song definitely borrowed from Prince’s music. LOL

# 7 and all the other idiots
alicia has always been light…her mother is a white woman i know that kills you inside but that makes her half white..

This song is going to get somebody pregnant.

the video debuts tomorrow on TRL and 106 & Park!!!

This song is sooooooooo beautiful. When was the last time I could describe a song as beautiful…still thinking! I can’t wait to get my hands on Alicia’s CD tommorrow! good looking out CL! Have you guys seen her Target commercial home girl is looking FABULOUS!

I like this song!!! This reminds me of something Prince would sing…is it just me? Something about Alicia Keyes, sometimes I love her and other times I hate her. Like when she had the blue jumpsuit on with that cameltoe LMAO Hated her!

Alicia Keys is one of the rare women in the industry with talent. Love this song, she did a great job.

sorry but she didn’t sing it well. and it’s too prince-inspired, what happened to artists having their own style and being original. wait there ARE original artists out there but they just aren’t packaged enough to grab ppl’s attention. that’s sad

I SEE YOU WHITNEY!! (in the black tank top behind Alicia)!!!!! REPPIN CHAMPAIGN-URBANA ILLINOIS!!!!

MY EARLY BDAY GIFT TO MYSELF MS. KEYS NEW CD. I WONDER IF WAL-MART WILL HAVE IT BY THE TIME I GET OFF FROM WORK TONIGHT. LOL AT #42 I THINK YOU’RE RIGHT.

I can’t seem to ever be able to get in contact with anyone from this site lol, so I’m just gonna start posting this until someone hopefully sees it.

I agree with #47 she did’nt sing it well !!! What happened to her BEAUTIFUL voice???? Alicia can sing but lately her performances have been DULL!!!!! Somebody needs some 101 vocal renewal training immediately!!!!!

Don’t know why my comment didn’t post but…….

*stands up and applauds AK*

That was boo-ti-ful! I will be definitely getting her CD. Her and Mary are alike. They actually grow with their fans. I wish other female singers would follow suit.

i love this song…

What the hell is that supposed to mean tooo white?? What white people are bad or something? I’m not white but i still find that really offensive when people try and diss another person’s race. Hello Alicia Keys is half white so it would matter if she looks lighter that because she is lighter duh!!! She is not trying to be white she’s just changing her style not every black singer has to sing exclusively urban songs okay!!! Their allowed to sing whatever they want it’s their music. So let her sing a love song if she wants too. I don’y understand how you can compare her change in style to Michael Jackson!! He’s a little out there..so don’t even try to compare the two of them!!! Why do it always come down too …ohhh just because she’s broadening her range and style she acting too white!! WTF get a life she don’t need you to like her anyways!! How pathetic that you have to be so ignorant and diss someone for being themselves just because you don’t agree with them.

The song has elements of purple rain (extended version live - listen out for the piano keys at the end) diamonds and pearls as well as other prince rifts in fact i thought prince wrote it… beautiful song anyway and prince is great so it’s only right to be inspired by greatness

i love this song because it make u think a lot

I really like the song, but it definitely has some clear Prince elements in it (Purple Rain), and I am a huge Prince fan.
