Alicia, who expressed that “It was an incredible collaborative process” when working with the famed designer, picked the three outfits above, which you see her rocking in pictures here. Armani was so inspired working for her, that he created “The Alicia Jean”…

    Why are we comparing these two very different artists? They are both highly succesful in their own righs. I like the vibrance and youthfulness Beyonce brings to her performances, while, if I am in a different mood i could lounge out and listen to some A. Keys. I mean really, do we ALWAYS have to drag this young lady into EVERY post? Gees! They are both talented and too rich to care about what you think about them either way!

    Russy looks — what? Handsome! And argyle looks very classy.

    I respect A.Keys as an artist but her vocals lack in comparison to true vocalist. Fantasia has the greatest voice since the likes of Aretha and Patti. Too bad that along with having a great voice like these two, she also has the tendancy to scream out lyrics as they do. If girlie toned down the screams, she would be great.

    Russel is looking good in those pictures nice job. His stupid girlfriend looks like she is trying to copy Ki lo lo’ s style. Stupid b

  6. Alicia, Beyonce and Rhianna all the same one just has what the other is lacking.

    Alicia does seem like a genuine person but she is a bit boring. She know in order to compete she had to take it up some notches and let the braids and the tomboyish attitude go. Nice looking girl who knows what she wants and knows that she is marketable just like Beyonce and Rhianna. Not turning this into a color war, but it seems like you are not light skinned that you don’t get a promoted like a lighter skinned entertainer. Just think about most of the woman on top in the biz are even look at the past.

  7. Who would pay to look like Amy Winehouse?

    Sound like her maybe but dress like her…….*blank stare*

    I agree with all 3 of you. If I said once I said it 1,000 times

    Alicia and Beyonce is just a typical debate about The Musician vs The Entertainer!!!

    Beyonce lacks where AK is strong and thats musicianship

    And AK lacks where Bey is strong which is excitement, energy and more vocally entertaining!

    Honestly aside from Beyonce, Alicia is the only female artist I would pay good money to see live! But Beyonce and her Bad Ass Band come first, I gotta keep it real that shit was hot when I saw it on her DVD!!!

    LOL at all the Alicia Keys haters.
