@# 148. BK GIRL,

You’re absolutely right. There are 3 sides……..Mashonda’s, Alicia’s & “The Truth,”
Which neither 1 of us really knows, but as I stated b4, if (KEYWORD “IF”) Alicia is really quilty of what she’s being accused of….

I’m not even close to feeling this. She needs to go live in her bathroom again until she comes up with some good shit…like her first and second albums. SMH!

love alicia keys as an artist , but this song doesn’t move me at all to want to listen to it ….hope she’s got better material coming besides this track……

You Bitter people are so dense.

It’s like talking to brick WALLS.

1. Alicia Keys has never with a “married” man so stop tying that LIE.

Her image and music are not at ODD’s so I don’t even know what you are typing there.

Alicia is not FAKE. And she never said she was a saint or perfect but if you want to fault her deal in some real fault not that she is TALKING with a man who was married and is not getting a divorce. Swizz made the decisions that are best for him and that does not include his X but he would like them to include Alicia and who can blame him.

So….FURIOUS STYLES,

Are you actually saying that Swiss Cheats leaving his wife 4 Alicia Thieves is okay, because IT’S ALICIA THIEVES? So basically……because Mashonda is black & Alicia is (as Tyra once said) a BEAUTIFUL BIRACIAL BABY, that makes it okay?
I mean, don’t get me wrong, I too agree that Alicia is unbelievably beautiful & all,
but come the fucc on son, just because she’s beautiful, don’t make it right.
I don’t don’t give a good god damn how beautiful she is, right is right & wrong is wrong, no matter whom it is! As a woman, my heart hurts for Mashonda & their son. I would devastated if I was in her position right now (watching my HUSBAND flaunt his MISTRESS around the town, ON NATIONAL TELEVISION).

How people differ, I am loving this Single. I must have played it 100 times over the past 5 days.

The people that think she drops crap album are the ones that don’t buy CDs. If people don’t feel her anymore how come she still sells shit load of music and sold out tours (WORLD WIDE). Only Beyonce can compete in terms of album sales. I think you all have some hateration in your system that you need to let off.

i don’t really get why she decided to exclusively debut it on Perez Hilton but whatever…
anyway, I LOVE THIS VIDEO! i wasn’t really feelin’ the song at first but watching this vid makes me love it! do ur thing Alicia

Alicia @

Get some mental help because you have all types of issues.

This is why we as a race are so messed up. So much negativity and self hate. Alicia Keys is an African American. We are all MIXED and what does that have to do with the topic at hand?????

Swizz wanted out of his marriage. He did not “CHEAT” on his wife with Alicia Keys that I do know for a FACT. If a man or Woman wants out of a marriage they LEAVE and get a DIVORCE. And this is what Swizz was doing. The DIVORCE was in FULL Effect when he started TALKING to Alicia. So Alicia was not “CHEATING” with a married man. So stop typing that same lie OVER AND OVER it’s not true.

If Alicia did take a married man I would not support her at ALL because that is WRONG. But she did not do that so she has my support 100% .

“Alicia” you seem to have issues and you relate to Swizz’s X who also seems to have issues. I see why you buy into this LIE.

GET HELP!

So, because Mashonda’s PISSED OFF 4 OBVIOUS REASONS, that means she has issues, WTF????

FURIOUS STYLES….COME ON, YOU CAN’T BE SERIOUS????

I’M SORRY “GOD”….

YALL NEED 2 STOP HATING ON ALICIA KEYS!!!!

I USE TO HAVE RESPECT FOR HER AND HER MUSIC. NOW I CAN’T STAND TO SEE HER. Now she’s in the same class as the rest of the desperate chicken heads, I GUESS MONEY CAN’T BUY CLASS OR A CONSCIENCE.

Alicia is very talented. She can sing, write, and play the piano which is more talented than someone dancing and singing, just dancing, or neither. This is the problem. People give only a few black females artist credit when there are more black females artists who are just as talented but get no love because they aren’t in the spotlight. Now people are tired of seeing them and hearing them. Their music is the same from year to year with no growth. I AM TIRED OF HEARING THE SAME MUSIC. This is the reason we should support other artists. I don’t like this song of hers,didn’t like but three of Beyonces, none of Ciara, three of Keri Hilson, a few of Rihanna’s old cd but more of hers grew on me (even though she isn’t a songstress but she still produced). I am not a hater. Not one of these cds I could hear the entire cd and said thats was one of the greatest cds I have ever heard. I need for all of them to bring it!!!!!!!! They all need to change their style because it has been the same ole same ols stuff. I am going to be checking for Rihanna’s cd and see if she can bring it. One artist that is good is Melanie Fiona. She can blow half of these females out of the water ,or mybe I’m maturing and tired of hearing these bubble gum lyrics from those above (Except Alicia K).

Boring!!! Check out JESUS SECRETARY on YouTube.com

so boring. I’m sick of her

Ms Keys is my girl, but she came whack on this single. Not feeling it, sounds “pop”! Not r&b like her other songs. But eventhough the single sucks hopefully she came hard on her other material.

And her/his and the mrs, personal life is hers/his and the mrs, it should not be OUR business. Its on her/him and the mrs for the broken family, its on her/him and the mrs to explain that to the child when he gets older, not US.

But get it together on the next song Ms Keys

This video has nothing to do with an earthly mate. She, like all her other R&B songstress cohorts, is singing to the sun god who has blessed her with this fame. This is why all her material items and fake relationship evaporated in the early stages of the video. It never really existed. It was a mirage of celebrity created by Osiris, or “Oz”, which is the point of her walking through the stargate portal (which is why that one window pane was yellow tinted), being transported to a barren land, and alchemically transforming into all black from her previous outfit. The all black clothing represents knowledge of esoteric secrets. This is why all the artists are wearing it at the behest of the master witch, and lead artist in the music industry, Jay-Z.

The video plays out like Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean” video in which he also is singing to the female aspect of the goat of Baphomet, or “Billie” goat. She walks the path the same way that Michael did while illuminating the blocks, and as Dorothy did while on the yellow brick road. The difference is that this video didn’t make the road “golden” or illuminating; they made Alicia’s shirt golden as she ascended the “mountain” or steps to illumination and goddesshood. This is why she salutes the sun as she finally gets to the pinnacle of the mountain. None of these “artists”, particularly female artists, are singing to or about a man or significant other. They are all either b*sexual or outright l*sbian. Once you understand what is going on, the theme is pretty repetitive.

This video is stupid! Is she trying to shoot seens as though “she’s on top of the world”? What arrogance! And that “stand” she’s doing lately. You know, with obvious gap, one leg extended to her right side with a twisted foot. She is really feeling herself isn’t she?

Omg JUDAH. I think you are the funniest poster on CL yet. Keep bringing the giggles.

as a person whose husband was almost stilen by a regular closet hoe like alicia i can never like or support her music i know the pain my child and i went through my husband came to his senses but i have no really forgiven him

Crazy how people have taken it upon themselves to be Jesus and judge Alicia! leave her alone. I’ve never really gotten in Alicia’s music so i’m not even a fan. Her business with Swizz and Mashanda… IS HER BUSINESS WITH SWIZZ AND MASHONDA. not anyone else’s.

anyway
I don’t like the song at all and the video is boring.

I like the song and video!! Can’t wait for the album..

OMG! I finally got to watch the video—-snoozefest. She went nowhere with it and it ended up looking like a low budget projection like The Dream walking on the Moon video. I see some elements of MJ’s billyjean with the wooden tracks but her posing and the supid piano just thrown in there seemed awkwrd and out of place.

The first min of th video in the apartment was ok but it went downhill from there. One more thing, why the hell does she have to keep talking in her videos- her voice is not that pleasant. i like Akeys but the song and video will not get repeat from me.

I don’t think anybody is going to be buying her CD with all this Mashonda stuff going around plus she has officially bored me and lost her touch. Even Whitney had some up-tempos.

Video ok.
Alicia looked nice, but 100% the same I always see her.
Like the song, but not a good lead release in comparision to her other past releases.

Usher and Nick Lachey anyone? NEXT….

Whaaat?! Just hearing the Alicia -Swizz-Mashonda news. As a mother and devoted wife, my feelings instantly went out to Mashonda. And Alicia shame on you boo boo!

#146 Bryant:

What image does she project? Last time I checked it’s the people who made her out to be a saint. Yes, she does charities and is a philanthropist and whatnot, but she never claimed to be a saint. A superwoman, yes, but superwomen make mistakes. She still sings about being in love and being heartbroken. It’s still from the heart. Never have I heard her sing ‘I am a saint, I am perfect, I would never fall in love with a married man’. NEVER.
——————————————————————

If you’ve ever heard her speak, she has proclaimed that she thinks the industry is too “skin based”, and that’s why she does not showcase her body like other female artists do. In the past, she has stated how she does not like to go out to the industry parties so much b/c she was disgusted at the behavior that some of the “famous” men projected… and she was happy she had someone she loved (i assume it’s when she was with her producer, kerry brothers) and didn’t have to deal with that. I believe that was in the issue of Cosmo Girl. All in all, her image that she has had a deal in crafting has been an upstanding woman, classy, and so forth. Not saying that she isn’t any of these things — just that these allegations, sequence of events, and all the other things that have gone on with this scandal contradict what she (or her team) has sold to the masses. And that’s why she is getting so much backlash. Because now all of the things she supposedly stood for, don’t align with her actions.. Thus, now when she sings about these things, they don’t feel as authentic to some people.

don’t she and her people realize this song sound exactly like ‘no way’

well..i agree with most.

i was bored… with everything. wow. i can’t believe im talking bout a.keys.

Not her best. But ALSOLUTELY GREAT, nonetheless. She can do no wrong (musically) in my eyes. Video isn’t the best.

I LOVEEEEEEE HER! <3

ALICIA, IT WONT MEAN ANYTHING, IF I DONT HAVE TO SEE YOUR FACE, OR HEAR YOUR MUSIC AGAIN-HOMEWRECKER!

I would never have thought in a million years alicia who have these many haters. WOW. I remember when she released NO ONE last year nearly every damn poster either praised her talent or told that the’ll have to get use to it. WHAT THE FUCH HAPPENED.

WOW

did alicia keys really fall off that hard?!?!?!

Here’s what I find amazing. All the chicks that were once worshiped on this site are now falling off (Beyonce, Alicia, Ciara, Rianna, etc.). I’m not saying they are not still famous, but the hype is not what it use to be. That’s because the music industry made the following mistake: Looks first, talent dead last. When singers were first discovered, they had talent, and then they paid people to work on sex appeal, and image. Now, it’s all about looks first, ability dead last. The reason why so many of these young women are fads is simply because they were mean to be just that a passing light.

@ 6 you are so right…..I agree with you so much. YOU said a mouth full about Beyonce CD. I never knew how to explain Beyonce last CD but you did a excellent job at by saying her CD was white girl going soulful. I never was A. Keys fan but I never could deny she is very talented. However, she was just wrong for making this song. As for her and Switz Beats, I wish I could wish them well but I know what Mashonda is going through. A. Keys please remember you reap what you sow but only GOD judge you.

oh Yeah…lets not forget Switz Beat you are wrong also and please remember you will reap what you sow but only GOD can judge you. I just think people dont take relationships serious any more. Their situation is very sad. I pray they all can get this.

DAMN @ the comments! LOL! That song is weak though. Jeez!

LIKE YA MAN SAID A.KEYS…IM ON TO THE NEXT ONE!! THIS SHIT IS TRASH!

I am very disappointed. Unbelievable…her vocals sound mediocre..sad, guess this is what happens when you sleep with married men.

LIKE YA MAN SAID A.KEYS..IM ON TO THE NEXT ONE!! THIS SONG IS TRASH!!!!

Wow these are some of the most hateful comments I’ve read. People need to realize how God’s universe works.. Your words do not just go out aimlessly into the universe they come back to you with the voracity in which you let them loose… sad state of black women who love to tear each other down.. No wonder the black community is fucked up.. Black women are the back bone and to see the caliber of black women we have with hearts full of hatefulness..No wonder our sons are killers of each other. God has an ear to you.. he hears and he can read.

Grown&Sexy

The nerve of you to even mention God’s name in the same breath you spew hateful judgment against people you don’t even know…

Wow@ the comments. I would have never imagined majority of the comments be negative about Alicia Keys. I have to agree with most of the comments though, I do not like the song and the video is boring too. I think she needs to evolve, she’s done so many ballads it would be nice if she did more uptempo songs as singles or even an uptempo album. I’m also turned off by the whole Swizz Beats and Mashonda situation. The open letter Mashonda wrote on Twitter was sad. For those who brought up R. Kelly and Chris Brown, I never bought their music so fail for that comparison. Even though I boycotted Perez Hilton’s blog for accusing Michael Jackson of faking his death as publicity stunt (a post he later deleted but he was still put on blast when someone saved it), I was curious to see if the comments over there would be positive about this song and video. The majority of people over there don’t like this song either only a few brought the Swizz affair. They said it was mediocre and boring just like most of us are saying. She really needs to think about releasing another single before her album drops because this single ain’t it. The bloggers and the charts have spoken Ms. Keys.

Just keeping it on the music, I really dont like the song so it has trurned me off from seeing the video.

BORING!!!! SHE NEEDS TO BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD,COURSE THIS ISN’T CUTTING IT.

I love this song… nd so wat if its a bit boring? evry song doesnt have to be a club banger… nd she look GORGEOUS in the vid!!

I love Alicia shes talented and sings great live, but i dont like this song. But why all the negative comments. Haters… Stop calling her a “homewrecker” none of ya’ll know exactly what happened in the situation. No one even commends her for all the good she does with her organizations, haters, haters, haters…

If you’ve ever heard her speak, she has proclaimed that she thinks the industry is too “skin based”, and that’s why she does not showcase her body like other female artists do. In the past, she has stated how she does not like to go out to the industry parties so much b/c she was disgusted at the behavior that some of the “famous” men projected… and she was happy she had someone she loved (i assume it’s when she was with her producer, kerry brothers) and didn’t have to deal with that.

Thus, now when she sings about these things, they don’t feel as authentic to some people.

————————————-

OK, so what do her songs mean to YOU? You can go on and on and on about ’she’s not what I thought she was’, but are any of her songs relevant to YOUR life? I do NOT condone what she did, but if I can listen to her music and voice and it still helps me through some of the things I went through, I will NOT stop listening to her or stop buying her albums. If we’re going to shout ‘homewrecker’ every single times there’s news, why don’t we apply that to everyone? Why do we still listen to some legendary artists, even though they have been through the SAME THING? Why don’t you go pick up biographies of some people we consider legends. I thought some of them were squeaky clean as well, but that didn’t make me go to blogs and call them names and it did not stop me from listening to them either.

ALTHOUGH SHE HAD HER NOSE DONE, ALICIA KEYS LOOKS VERY PRETTY IN THIS VIDEO, SHE LOOKS EGYTPTIAN. i ACTUALLY COULDN’T WATCH THE WHOLE VIDEO, BECAUSE IT WAS A LITTLE DULL. I LIKE THE FACT THAT SHE SINGS UPLIFTING, POSITIVE SONGS, BUT ENTERTAINING WISE, SHE IS SORT OF DULL. THIS SONG INSTRUMENTAL SOUNDS LIKE ” NO ONE” WHEN FIRST COMES ON. i BELIEVE THAT IS WHY BEYONCE HAVE THE GAME ON LOCK, IS BECAUSE SHE POSSESS ALL THREE COMPONENTS, YOU CAN SING, DANCE, SHE CREATIVE, ATTRACTIVE, AND CAN ENTERTAIN. ALICIA KEYS IS ATTRAACTIVE, CAN MODERATELY SING, AND TALENTED, BUT SHE CAN’T ENTERTAIN.
RIHANNA HAVE STYLE AND IS ATTRACTIVE, HAVE A UNIQUE VOICE, BUT CAN’T SING GREAT LIVE AS WELL AS ENTERTAIN
LEONA LEWIS IS CUTE AND CAN SING, BUT IS BORING IN VIDEOS AS WELL AS PERFORMANCES. ETC, ETC, ETC, PEOPLE STEP YOUR GAME UP, THE GAME IS GETTING BORING, SAME O MESS

I THINK SOME BLACK PEOPLE IS CONFUSE, LETS GET TECHNICAL ” HATING” IS THE CORRECT ENGLISH TERM SYNONYM FOR ” JEALOUSY. LETS MAKE CLEAR JUST BECAUSE A PERSON DON’T LIKE AN ARTIST THAT YOU LIKE, DOES NOT MEAN THEY ARE HATING. EVERYONE, I REPEAT EVERYONE IS NOT GOING TO LIKE AND LOVE THE SAME ARTIST THAT ” YOU MAY FEEL” IS GREAT. EVERYONE DON’T LIKE THE SAME FOOD, CLOTHING AND OTHER THINGS AS OTHER PEOPLE. THIS IS WHAT MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND. IF EVERYTHING WAS THE SAME, THIS WOULD BE A BORING WORLD. I HAVE AN UNCLE WHO DON’T THINK BEYONCE FACE IS THAT CUTE, BUT HE SAID HE LIKES HER BODY, NOW A CLOSED-MINDED PEOPLE WOULD SAY ” YOU ARE HATING” BECAUSE THEY THINK BEYONCE FACE IS SO PRETTY, AND AGAIN …THAT IS YOUR OPINION. I PERSONALLY LOVE ADRIANA LIMA THE MODEL, I THINK SHE IS GORGEOUS, AND THAT IS MY OPINION. SOME PEOPLE WHO SEE HER SAY, SHE DON’T HAVE NO CURVES, AND SHE HS BIG TEETH,AND ONLY REASON WHY PEOPLE LIKE HER IS BECAUSE SHE HAS GREY-BLUE EYES….AND AGAIN THAT IS THEIR OPINION.
ALICIA KEYS TO ME IS A PRETTY LADY, TALENTED, BUT BORING. AND THIS IS MY OPINION. NOW IF YOU WANT TO SAY I’M HATING BECAUSE YOU ” OBSESS WITH ALICIA OR JUST LOOOOVE HER” THAT ON YOU. EVERYONE VIEW POINT IS DIFFERENT. I A FRIEND WHO IS REALLY LIGHT, AND PALE, SHE CONSIDERS ME TO BE ” DARK”, AND IF YOU SEE MY PICTURE FROM THE SIDE, I’M HARDLY DARK. THEN I HAVE A NEPHEW WHO IS DARK, AND HE THINGS I’M WHITE OR SOOO LIGHT. IN MY ETHNCITY, ALMOST EVERYONE HAVE LONG SILKY HAIR, BUT WHEN I GET AROUND BLACK PEOPLE THWY GO CRAZY OVER MY HAIR BECAUSE THEY AREN’T USE TO SEEING MY LENGTH OF HAIR AS WELL AS TEXTURE ON A DAILY, WHEREAS ME, I SO USE TOO IT BECAUSE EVERYONE IN MY FAMILY HAS THIS HAIR, SO I’M NOT IMPRESS. THIS GOES TO SHOW THAT PEOPLE’S OPINIONS ARE NOT ONLY THEIR OPINION, BUT THOUGHTS AND BELIEFS THAT STEM FROM LIFESTYLES, CULTURES, AND EDUCATION. EMBRACE DIFFERENCES AND MOVE ON, DON’T ARGUE ABOUT IT, BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY, THE PERSON OPINION WILL NOT CHANGE. ACCEPT IT OR REJECT IT AND MOVE FORWARD.

This song, “Doesn’t Mean Anything” reminds me of when my father passed away. I realized that material things he owned really didn’t have value to me. I would have rather have my Dad back.

Now I don’t invest in material things but invest in quantity time with my family and friendship.

I truly miss my Dad!!!

I love this song and video…
It’s sad such a wholesome person like Alicia Keys, who represents women so well get’s so much flack.
I’ll be supporting her, and I’m sure millions of others as well.
It’s apparent y she didn’t premiere it on a black blog…just read the 1st ten comments…
Those y folks on Perez love Alicia, and will support her and stand by her…unlike US black people, that abandon our own over unclear evidence and rumors. It’s said.
“Element of Freedom” Dec 1st!

I couldn’t have said it better
@83
“@ Mother Jefferson

I usually love your comments and your icon! And you can have your opinions. But My view is that Alicia did not break up any marriage. I think some people just are bored and want to invent things because Alicia’s image is so clean.
But the fact of the matter is that Swizz was separated from his wife before he started seeing Alicia. And whatever the issues are with Swizz and his wife that drama has nothing to do with Alicia. Swizz’s wife put everything she had into Swizz and Swizz supported her and their family but when the relationship was over she felt she had nothing. And women is this position will attack any woman who their X plans on seeing and to have Alicia be the next women she found the need to attack her and write these long comments on twitter. These are the actions of a desperate woman and I’m a little tired of reading comments from other women who can relate to the jilted woman situation and attack Alicia. This is between Swizz and his X. Not Alicia. If a man want to leave or let’s say he wants to Cheat you don’t then attack the other woman as so many women want to do. You attack the man who made the vows with you. That is where the blame is to be found and if he wants out..let him go. Find a new man who wants to value you and stop blaming others.

Alicia has always been about empowerment for women and by her very example and I will never attack her based on internet gossip it’s not in character for her and she never claimed to be perfect but I know she did not take Swizz from his wife. His X is a total opportunist and all you need to do is read those LONG Twitter messages to see she wants to drag Alicia into this to sell her new BOOK and get some press and to help along her divorce proceedings.”

Her first singles usually take a while to catch on. (Fallin, You Don’t Know My Name, No One) so I don’t think it’s fair to chuck this album in the garbage can. Maybe Perez was the only one giving her offers, a lot of blogs have been trashing her for falling in love with a man that had obviously feel out of love with his ex wife shortly before they even met. Shit happens. Life’s just crazy that way. This album may surprise people.

Not feeling the song…at all. She should have stuck with Kerry because this sounds like a leftover single from her last CD. And true, she should not have entertained a relationship with a married man, BUT HE WAS THE PARTY THAT WAS MARRIED! They both deserve to be criticized- not just her. He knew he had a wife. He should have manned up and been respectful enough to pursue her post divorce. She should have dedicated this song to Kerry b/c Swizz is about to lead to her downfall. People are not forgiving this incident at all.

SXSW

How do you know Inida.Arie hasn’t stole anyone’s husband?

damn why?? dis song is so lame she should had came harder than dis

Alicia def. reps for us…but uhm….why she rock climbing? Why is that hot? ….but yeah..classic Alicia.

umm…usher? hmm

this video is kinda odd…first she’s in a house..then she’s randomly climbing a fake computer mountain…lame…i know alicia can come harder than this :/

I am so disappointed in some of the comments made about this young lady. She is always trying to do positive things for countries in Africa and communities. Out of most the the female r&b artist she is the most vocal about making change and women being more powerful and positive. Now if you have a gripe with her because you thing she stole someone’s husband, find that your opinion but don’t discredit her as an artist she is very talented and puts amazing music out. You people need to really get your shit together.

How the hell she climb that mountain with stilletos on? lol WACK!
