I’m sorry, but everytime I see the title I think she’s mocking Mashonda. When listening to the song, I thought it was ok. But I ain’t never gonna buy it.

The alum theme seems to be breaking up bc the first song i dont know if any one peeped in her video when things were disppearing there was a photo on the piano that look like her and her ex..she can be singing about her and old ex..we dont know the whole story..despite the fact its sad but we always hear one point of view and thats mashonda

oh and i love the song better than her first single

10.

KEM

Friday, October 30, 2009 /

oh and the beat is pretty cool.. it’s different..

but her vocals are always the same now.. she stays tryin to give LITE vocals now to fit in on radio but she sounds a fool doin it. And those same melodies on every track? no ma’am… she must do some of her own vocal production/arrangement? she need to stop chile..

Lol yeah I couldn’t help but think about Mashonda.
Didn’t listen to the song though, I’ll listen later.

*sigh*
i still am upset that she wrecked this home
mashonda & swizz were still legally married in jan.
ppl take separated to mean more than it is
separated people can just be two people living in different places
in an argument.
alicia, you get the stone face for that one.
what makes it worse is that she’s constantly talking about ‘black love’…
tsk.tsk.

Alicia Keys should have waited awhile b4 coming out with an album this whole situation with mashonda looks bad and i dont think shell be getting positive reviews despite how good her songs are…her fans are women and once you are “the other woman”.. shes lost alot of fans..these celebrities need to know that despite it all your actions besides the entertainment world are always looked upon and what she did was wrong..

R U SERIOUS??? NEW DC SOCIALITE BUT MADE MY OWN MONEY

Friday, October 30, 2009 /

Okay maybe I should read your comments before I commented because we are all on the same page. I wonder if the bad taste we all have for the situation is going to affect her record sales. I just don’t feel right supporting her right now. IDK??? At some point you cannot just say its just about the music when your life is so public, especially if you always promoting sisterhood/ womanhood. I guess its all good until D is involved then its pluck a sister. Especially when you know this is what peple have been saying and you do not even comment. Pluck it if you did not do anything wrong then do an Angelina Jolie and say you didnt do anything. What does that have to do with the music, nothing at all but I also do not care to buy anything with RK name on it either. We’ll see, any thoughts?

Friday, October 30, 2009 /

omg…now usually I never comment on these things, but for this I must…

I just find it extremely funny how nearly everyone is tryna backlash Ms. Keys because of who she’s dating & how the singer Mashonda feels. My thing is this….NONE OF THESE PEOPLE KNOW ANY OF YA’LL. I mean, I understand a fan feeling a certain way because they’re devoted to a certain celeb, but some of these comments make it seem like Mashonda ya’ll cousin & ya’ll used to eat at Popeyes together back in the G. It’s just so funny. Me, personally, I know a few females you truly define HOMEWRECKER & if you do too then i think thats a scenario when you give such a personal opinion, yet here…it’s a simple public opinion about her 2nd single. I happen to LOVE this song way better than the 1st single so congrats Ms. Keys, but all that petty stuff can be saved because in the end of the day talkin’ about it ain’t benefitting ANYBODY. Alicia, Swizz, Mashonda, & even them kids STILL gettin’ money while talkin’ bout “He said/she said”.

I just want the music, as i’m sure many more people want as well.

Keep grindin’ & Jah bless

I guess it’s better than the other single..but the lyrics are still elementary..I wish it was more poetic…but I guess…I guess…

I’m not worried about what she’s doing in her personal life, I just listen to the music and I know good music when I hear it. I AM FEELIN THIS SONG!! Most def hits home for me. Ya’ll don’t know her to judge her, so stop!

No one really knows the truth of what happen between the threesome but the man up stairs. The ex wife did not start mouthing off until she saw it was to late for a reunion.. I like Alicia’s song. And come on! when you breakup you move on and that’s what the man did… The ex just wants to be in control of the situation and she cant be so leave Alicia alone cause if it’s true Karma is coming regardless of whatever..

this song is crazy hot, but Alecia is going to have a hard time coming of sincere. If she would have released this and the last single before the drama she would have two smashes on her hand, but now some people are not even going to give her a chance, sucks but she did bring this on herself

Was Lauryn Hill mocking Rohan’s wife and 2 kids with ‘Ex-Factor’?

Yall know the truth about them too?

Has an 80’s feel to it
I agree with No.4
I like the song but its a strange time to put this out

but u know she’s probably had a broken heart too..thats life
I like Alicia

It has an 80’s vibe to it
I agree with No.4 Its a strange time to put this out

but hey Alicia isn’t immune from a broken heart she’s probably had one too

I like Alicia,I don’t know if I prefer this or doesn’t mean anything

What about u?

Friday, October 30, 2009 /

#30…The ex-factor was actually about Wyclef..he ironically was also married, but duly noted!! And Trust, Lauryn has paid up-and-down for her transgressions..ALL of them!! :-)

40.

yenna

Friday, October 30, 2009 /

#34 TK:

Wyclef was married, Rohan was married. And she chose to ignore it.

I don’t remember people EVER not buying an LH album for that. Ever.

What both Lauryn & Alicia have done in their personal life does not taint the fact that they are good artists.

It did not make me break my Lauryn Hill CD and it won’t stop me from buying one (if she ever decides to return).

41.

yenna

Friday, October 30, 2009 /

And so even further comparing ‘Ex-Factor’ and this song… How do even know this is about Swizz and not about a previous relationship?

Some of you are the most judgmental people ever. What she did may have been wrong, but to suddenly not acknowledge her artistry and stop supporting her MUSIC……… Wack.

42.

styleguru

Friday, October 30, 2009 /

Dradomination and Ms Mocha I concur..

it’s just out right ridiculous how most people believe whatever they read in the blogs/tabloids..without knowing the real truth or better yet the people involved on a personal level …

I sooooo miss the days when people judged an artist on their talent rather than what they had going on in their personal lives…better yet i wish it was still like the 80’s when all i knew about my fav artist was what was printed in RIGHT ON!! Magazine, lol!!

whatever allegdely went on between alicia, mashonda and swiss beats doesn’t negate the fact that alicia is hella talented hands down ….

Friday, October 30, 2009 /

Peeps have every reason not to wanna listen to AK’s music for personally reasons. There are peeps who wont buy an R kelly album because of his under age sex antics. why would u wanna support someone who doesnt have the same morals as you, but are portraying that they have??? False marketing mate!

Friday, October 30, 2009 /

…Yenna. My point is is not just ‘about the music’. It is about much more are in the public eye, everthing matters. Along with the music/entertainment, you also sell an image…anybody else who says otherwise is a lie!! This is more pertenient especially when the image you try to convey, or ’sell’ is an exact contradication as with the case of Ms.Kness…oops, Ms. Keys! Sisterhood, and womanhood, and all that other stuff she is known for clebrating and embracing went out the window once she saw something she wanted. She clamped down faster than Da Brat in a Womens’ institution!! Totally fake………..

48.

Sarah Vaughan

Friday, October 30, 2009 /

I like it…and for the record LONELINESS gets a bad rap. You get to share love with the person who needs it the most and that is YOU…

Why do women feel they are lacking love because they are NOT in a relationship? YOU ARE being loved IF you are loving YOURSELF.

Experience has taught that there is NOT A MAN walking this earth, that can LOVE ME more than I LOVE MYSELF.

SELF LOVE makes you whole, LOVE FOR OTHERS makes you godly.

…that’s all : )

#42 TK:

Do you consider the Lauryn Hill from MOLH fake?

Everyone I talk to saw her as ‘classy’ & ‘brilliant’ during that era.

She fell in love and slept with two married men, Wyclef and Rohan.

She got pregnant by Rohan, who was still married at that time.

Why can people look past her situation, but turn around and never listen to Alicia ever again?

54.

truthfullyspeaking

Friday, October 30, 2009 /

I don’t even think it’s this situation about her being a heartless b**ch and f**king a married man is even the reason why people are not going to buy her album, it’s her wack/boring songs. Alicia has fallen off. She brings the same exact delivery and it’s played out now. LOL at people who say that Swizz and Mashonda were LEGALLY seperated… did Mashonda say that? No, so stop making up stuff. She said they were still married, so I’m guessing they were going through some stuff and decided to take a break, not a legal SEPERATION, because then it would mean that their marriage was in the process of being over. Anyway, the beginning is cool, like 5 seconds, but then after that, it sounds a mess. I’m sick and tired of Alicia’s shouting voice!

BTW I agree with some of these comments…. how can Alicia release or write a song like this, knowing that Swizz’s wife feels the same way about her?!?!

55.

Love Alicia!

Friday, October 30, 2009 /

I can’t wait until Alicia Keys CD to come out. She is such an amazing musician, songwriter, composer and singer.

I wish her the best of luck. Hope we all support her like our sister support Britney and Lady Gaga.

Much Luv!

56.

Friday, October 30, 2009 /

Alicia Keys has been deeply in love just like every woman and has broken up with someone and sleep by alone.

It is life and everyone experiences life. Getting your heart broken, crying and longing is all apart of loving someone.

If you haven’t hurt then you haven’t experienced love.

Luv to all my sistas and bros.

The Heap

Friday, October 30, 2009 /

Wow! Is this what her new album is gonna be like? If so, I won’t even worry about downloading it for free. SMH! This is some garbage. She needs to just write for other people and be a featuring artist cause her solo career ain’t shit anymore. Maybe she needs to stop sleeping with other people’s man…maybe that will get her mind right again and she can make good music.

58.

Many people do support people based on personal conflicts.It is common.Would you support someone you don’t have no belief toward to?No, so if someone chooses not to support her because of her false image than hey let that be.It is called being genuine.Alicia, we see your game ma, you do this charity work to hide behind your bullshit.

Even if you take her personal drama out of the equation, Alicia, and a lot of other artists for that matter, have lost it. This song is not up to par with her past songs AT ALL!

Usually, when you hear an Alicia Keys, Usher, or Mariah Carey single you instantly know this is going to be big. Now everything they put out seems so uninspired and run of the mill.

Chris Brown and Rihanna are the only ones I’m really checking for as of now.

I wish y’all would get off my girl A. Keys. She is making music that comes from her heart and ppl can relate to. You think she was the first to wreak a home, NOPE, and she wont be the last. This song will be Angelina’s ringtone for Jen. And Gabrielle sings as she pulls out of D. Wade’s drive way.

But the song is CUTE, much better than the first song.

Additional note: A. Keys played the game and WON, if Mashonda was on her Ps & Qs she would still have a husband that was fully in love with her. THAT IS ALL.

Y’all black women are so hypocritical. Y’all don’t even know the facts about what happen. All you have is a bitter (ex-wife who if y’all remember at the time was looking for a record deal) side of the story. Some of you are saying I won’t support Alicia she’s homewrecker, I’m sorry, when a man or woman goes out looking for some tail outside the marriage, the home was already wrecked. I’m not a stan I’m just saying let’s be fair.

Now for the hypocritical part. Chris Brown new video post was filled with positive feedback wishing him success and how they can’t wait for the album. Here you have a picture of his downright brutality and yet you look past that and say we forgive you while you’re still all hot and bothered by him humping the floor. Some of you women are downright pathetic. Why you give men a longer leash run free with than you give your own black sisters? It’s crazy! SMH.

Friday, October 30, 2009 /

The song is a haunting ballad, in the vein of “Like You’ll Never See Me Again” or “You Don’t Know My Name”. I can see it become a classic soon,,

But I don’t understand what’s up with the cheap hip-hopish arrangements? it seems out of sync with the genre of this song, and her delivery could be better.. — give this song to Leona Lewis or a Tamia and you’d get an instantly timeless rendition.

68.

people are so hypocritical. assume alicia’s a saint, and when you find out she isn’t, you will never ever buy a record again
and then when chris brown comes ’round, the abs got you hot and bothered and he’s forgiven in an instant

BUT YET THEY WILL BE THE FIRST ONE TO CRITICIZE ANOTHER ARTIST THEY DON’T LIKE! REGARDLESS ALICIA AND SWIZZ ARE COMMITTING ADULTERY!!! I WOULD HATE TO SEE THE WOMEN WHO ARE MOCKING MASHONDA BY TELLING HER TO GET OVER IT…WHEN THEIR HUSBANDS LEAVE THEM FOR ANOTHER WOMAN AND PUBLICLY FLAUNT IT IN THEIR FACE FOR THE WORLD TO SEE!!!! GOD BLESS THE SANCTITY OF MARRIAGE AND WOMANHOOD…WE SABATOGE THEM BOTH WITHOUT A BLINK OF AN EYE!!!

lyrics

Friday, October 30, 2009 /

Even if you were a million miles away
I could still feel you in my bed
Near me, touch me, feel me
And even in the bottom of the sea
I can still hear inside my head
Telling me, touch me, feel me
And all the time you were telling me lies

So tonight I’m gonna find a way to make it without you
Tonight I’m gonna find a way to make it without you
I’m gonna hold onto the times that we had
Tonight I’m gonna find a way to make it without you

Have you ever tried sleeping with a broken heart
Well you can try sleeping in my bed
Lonely, only, nobody ever shut it down like you
You wore the crown, you make my body feel heaven-bound
Why don’t you hold me, need me, I thought you told me
You’d never leave me

Looking in the sky I can see your face
And i knew right where I’d fit in
Take me, make me
You know that I’ll always be in love with you
Right til the end

So tonight I’m gonna find a way to make it without you
Tonight I’m gonna find a way to make it without you
I’m gonna hold onto the times that we had
Tonight I’m gonna find a way to make it without you

Anybody could have told you right from the start
It’s bout fall apart
So rather than hold onto a broken dream
Or just hold onto love
And I could find a way to make it
Don’t hold on too tight
I’ll make it without you tonight

So tonight I’m gonna find a way to make it without you
Tonight I’m gonna find a way to make it without you
I’m gonna hold onto the times that we had
Tonight I’m gonna find a way to make it without you

The song is really good people !! You should not be so hard, I don’t know what happened and it is none of my bizness but Alicia is just a human being, she is not perfect and never meant to be. You should stop idolizing famous people because they are just like us, be in the spotlight don’t make you a better person, they are human being and stay human being and make mistakes just like us…

i’m not even going to get all into Alicia Keys’ personal B.I. But, her music has been steadily losing me since the 2nd album. I wanna hear that ultra soulful Alicia, not the soul/pop/rock Alicia. I’m talking about “You Don’t Know My Name” “A Woman’s Worth” DIARY” whooo. Please Ms. Keys…take us back.

I wish we could go back to the jazz or blues days. Where personal drama’s didn’t interfere with someone loving the MUSIC.

Sounds like this should have been put out in 88″ or 89″, and I really wish people would get back to singing. I’m getting old and whispering on songs is starting to get on my nerves.

@94 I’ll take it yoy were refering to me.

First off if it doesn’t apply, then there’s no need to waste your time commenting on it. I never said it was an all female blog.
Everybody and they momma know that this site is majority females on here look at the names and the kind of post they put up here. Second, no one is making excuses for what Alicia did because neither you or me know what happened. There’s three sides to this story and you are calling someone a homewrecker solely based on one side which is ignorant. SMH @people half the story and drawing their own conculsions on a person.

Friday, October 30, 2009 /

Some people can be really disgusting to me. Very fickle folks indeed

At first Alicia Keys was cool. She was the truth
Now yall call her a homewrecking slum…smh

It just proves my point that people love you then hate you when you have personal issues…ex: Whitney, Britney Spears, Chris Brown, RKelly etc.

Sometimes you have to die for people to apprecite you again: Michael Jackson, Aaliyah, etc

SHAME ON YOU FOLKS. These celebs are humans too

Way better than her first single. Would you people stop bringing that “homewrecker” stuff into every single Alicia Keys post? Are you guys bitter or something?

Doesn’t Mean Anything didn’t make me want to cop the album. This makes me more interested in her project.

The song
is really good people !! You should not be so hard, I don’t know what happened and it is none of my bizness but Alicia is just a human being, she is not perfect and never meant to be. You should stop idolizing famous people because they are just like us, be in the spotlight don’t make you a better person, they are human being and stay human being and make mistakes just like us…

love is a crazy thing, and sometimes when you think your in love, someone else comes along, and you fall even deeper for that person..you guys never knows what happened between alicia and moshanda, and swizz…and quite honestly, WHO CARES??! im sure half of the people calling her a home-wrecker have also been dealt the short hand of the stick by being with a man who was involved with someone else…i LOVE the song..its something different! i love alicia keys, and she is a talented woman…TALENT DOES NOT EQUAL INNOCENCE! and when she does in her personal life does not mirror her ART! love it, and i will support her!!

Some of yall been lookin for a reason to hate on Alicia since she took over and now that yall THINK yall know about her, Mashonda and Swiss’ situation yall have gotten what yall wanted a reason to hate on another great black female artist. Get real.
This song is AMAZING! Got like an oldies or better an 80s vibe to it.

I love Alicia no matter what people say about her. She slept with a married man and so have many other women. She’s not first and definitely won’t be the last. Only god can judge her.
This new single is hot! Hope its a huge hit for her.

What does her music have to do with who she’s involved with personally? You people are so crazy. You don’t know these people. You don’t know what was happenning in Swiss beatz’ home. Stop acting like these celebrity gossip sites are CNN.com.

i didn’t even think about mashonda when I first saw the title of the song..for some reason I thought of John Mayer’s “Dreaming With A Broken Heart”…I don’t kno why…but anyways…I like this song, and can’t wait for her album.

IA @ Londonlily..this stuff happens all the time. whether they were legally divorced, they were separated..Swizz probably on many occasions, made it clear to Mashonda that he didn’t want to be with her anymore. I have a feeling Swizz has wanted to divorce her, but Mashonda can’t let go. I think I read somewhere that Mashonda was bringing her kids into the situation. I can’t imagine trying to guilt someone into staying with me…having to keep up with the charade that we are still in love..smh..I feel if Swizz and Alicia are happy, let it be. My views on Alicia have not changed. I still am a huge fan of hers.

WOW ppl are really not feeling AK b/c of this whole thing with Mashonda?? Is it b/c we actually know Mashonda as an artist (sort of) that we care?? Also, to the ppl talking about Lauryn Hill’s situations, the difference is that LH came up in the late 90s when we didn’t have blogs and nobody talked about an Artist’s dirt like we do now. Now everybody wants to judge an artist based on their personal life. Not to throw stones b/c I cursed CB’s situation after he beat up Rihanna.

That being said, I like this song alot! I’ve always liked AK as an artist, saw in concert last year and she was great. I wasn’t feeling her first single but I like this one. Keep ya head up Mashonda!!

See, this is what the African American FEMALE community DOES NOT NEED! The only twoyoung African American starlets out there thats doing their thing would be Beyonce and Alicia Keys. Alicia is beautiful. Why she had to be trifling and then publish it is beyond me. I thought all of this was rumors, but apparently its true. I would like to put a prayerful hand upon Mashonda’s shoulder when she hears this or thinks about it because she does not deserve it. Beyonce should watch out because Alicia has proven to be the triflin Rhianna type. Ugh.
