Dressed in all black, Alicia Keys took to the Grammy stage Sunday night (February 12) with country crooner Bonnie Raitt and paid tribute to two now-gone legends. Initially, the two were just set to pay homage to the late, great Etta James, who died just ...
AWW SHE LOOKS CUTE I CANT WAIT 2 HEAR HER ALBUM !!!!! I LOVE HER!
i like what i can see of her outfit, treally feelin that alien green eyeliner. can’t wait to hear her album tho
i meant i’m not really feelin it
MY FAV SONG IS “THIS BED”!
OVERALL THE WHOLE ALBUM IS OK!
ITS LIKE CLASSIC ALICIA WIT A COUPLE OF TWIST…..BUT I’M A FAN SO SHE CAN DO NO WRONG TO ME!….LOL
Alicia is GORGEOUS!!!! And I think people should judge artist by the ART they create,not ALWAYS by the things that they do….Regardless of what kind of “PERSON” you may say she is,I think she makes GREAT music..and when she starts SUCKING,thats when i’ll start complaining..but who she’s doin it with is none of my business..we all are human beings,stop being so critical..thats the problem with people…so ready to TEAR down and almost never ready to HELP UP…We gotta do better.
Just wanted to post that before all the negative comments start pouring in
Alicia fine,,, but she cant sing better than chicks like Angie Stone,Jill Scott, ect…Yellabones get da shine in 2009 tho…. in 2010 it’s gonna change.
I like her hair color
A “Homewrecker” Keys is my girl. It’s hard for me to rock w/ her like I did back in my day cuz it’s women like her that broke my fam up. Anyways…the album is hot! I don’t think she’s gonna have any number 1 hits on this one but since she has a strong fan base, she will be aight.
Love her, My fav artist. Miss her when she goes but when she get back. True talent is what my ears love
Gorgeous chic – Love ”Doesn’t Mean Anything”.
Jus checked out it n umm…its definitely A. Keys style, but different. Its not like the creative joint coming-of-age of her 1st album, nor the hip hop/R&B style of the 2nd, nor the emotially raw old school 70s style of the 3rd. No this album is actually a lot like its title…thhe Element of Freedom, its like….hmm (how do i explain it)….its..more happy? Light-hearted, frilly in a way, lots of piano melodies. Its very positive in sound, maybe even too lighthearted. But its still A.Keys n it fits, str8 up dislike that Beyonce duet tho.
I still rockin her 2nd album, “You dont know my name” is my shiz!
Waitin for Alicia to go far left field with some independent sounding classical musical/hip hop/R&B fusion for her next album thats darker and very political(we know she’s an activist). “The Black Keys” I would call it…
Her album is solid! No huge #1 hits besides that stupid song with Beyonce, but is has some amazing tracks.
The album is amazing. I don’t think it’s happy at all. The instrumentation might feel lighter to you, but her vocal delivery and the lyrics are definitely not. Especially Pray for Forgiveness. Every song just hits harder knowing what she is going through…
her private life doesn’t matter. it doesn’t change the fact that her music lackluster. i’ve been listening to that corinne song back to back and then i came to check out alicia and you can see the difference between true artistry. she’s just bland and doesn’t move me. her lyrics are so cliched and superficial. sometimes she gets it right but thats rare. she’ll do well anyway b/c most people don’t know the difference between true and fake artistry. the most cliched lyrics amaze them
Neon GTFOH and stan for Corinne in her post.
ALICIA KEYS IS A GREAT ARTIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SHE HAS MORE TALENT IN HER PINKY TOE THAN SOME OF THESE OTHERS OUT TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! STFU ABOUT HER PERSONAL LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT’S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Omgoodness. This album is soo hawt! I hated both of her current singles, and that trash with Beyonce. But the rest of the tracks are sooo amazing! Whoa. I’ll definitely be buying this album.
She should try lighter hair color, it’ll look GREAT on her. she looks good.
Alicia’s new album is awful.
that bonus track pray for forgiveness is probably the most personal I’ve ever heard her.
her album is very good. it doesn’t matter if she stayed with a “separated” man..definitely not a home wrecker..ignorant folks
good luck on her album, nonetheless
She looks good. Was she one of the performers at the veent for the queen by any chance?
I’ve already pre-ordered the album. –All her albums are a must have.
I brought this CD for christmas gifts.–Everyone is getting one. I have to buy a few extra on Tuesday.
Alicia has such a beautiful spirit.–God has blessed her with a gift to be shared with the world. She always pushes herself to grow as an artist on each album. I will definitely buy multiple copies.
Ms. Alicia Keys is a true artist with God given talent. — I will always support her as an artist. I love, love, love all two singles released prior to her placing it on facebook.
She is a winner……….
I love this album. It is very different from her others but continues from the last album, “As I Am”.–I really connected with this album.
I love this one, “The Element of Freedom” even more. She uses her voice to show emotions. She is such an amazing artist.–God gave her an incredible gift.
Much Luv to Alicia and to all artist creating from the heart.
I don’t know, her latest singles are pure garbage..the videos are painful to look at.. I like Alicia Keys, but honestly, it seems she’s gotten away from playing the piano and using it more like a prop and gimmick in her videos and performances.. I still love Falling, Karma, You Don’t Know My Name, How Come You Don’t Call Me, If It Ain’t You, No One ( Reggae Remixes included), Superwoman..
But I can’t say that I’m feeling this CD, and while we don’t know what happened with her Swizz Beats, she sure ain’t denied none of the rumors..so I can’t support her like I used to..cause I feel she’s being hypocritical..
Alicia just looks GORGEOUS,that coat is so cute and the makeup is really pretty.. I just love her, and her album is beyond awesome, BEST ALBUM of 2009 !!!!
Alicia is pretty, but that something special is missing. Her eyes always look kind of blank, never a spark.
Even though a lot her new songs sound like songs she’s written for other people, she’s mad talented.
Alicia is just gorgeous. She looks great in the color blue.
I started listing my favorite tracks on her album “Element of Freedom” but the list ended up being the entire album of songs.
She is a musicial beast.–God is within her.
I will buy the several copies of the album.
Good Idea #24..I think I’ll buy her album as XMAS gifts to others..I’ll pas son it..but i like ALicia as an artist..I see she trying new things with her hair! go gurl
Angel:
I would love to know the designer of Alicia’s coat. It is very very sharp!
Ms. Keys is so……..beautiful. I love her style she has really come into her own.
As for the album, I already pre-ordered for myself and other friends and family. I have know so many people that love her music.
Always in support of positive people……..Always!
Alicia keys IS A HOMEWRECKING HOOKER,SHE LOOKS REALLY UNCOMFORTABLE
Dead @ ppl calling the song with Beyonce trash…but liking every other song on the album…..SMH.
ALbum is cool. Not a fan of Akeys voice, but her music is pretty dope
SHE LOOKS LIKE SHE DOE’SNT WANT TO BE THERE ,THEY DID’NT SHOW THE BOTTO HALF,THIS HEFFA DON’T HAVE NOTHING UNDER THAT COAT,SHE MORPHING INTO BEYHONCE
ALICIA KEYS WHOLE CD IS GARBAGE
I was sold on this album before she placed it on facebook.
I loved her Worlds Aids Day concert on December 1st. She sand “Love is Blind” and “Distance and Time” along with both “Doesn’t Mean Anything and “Try Sleeping with A Broken Heart”.
Buying so many copies……..
Loving Alicia
SWIZZ BEATS MARRIED ,AND HE GOT JUMPOFF LOOKING CRAZY
This album is a classic just like the others.
She is a class act and she looks great………..
ALICIA NEEDS TO WORK ON HER OILY SKIN, I CAN SEE THE PIMPLES EVEN WITH HER MAKEUP
Loving her CD I will be getting it. Unthinkable is my joint.
She looks like she is channeling Sasha Fierce.
Her album is crazy! And she looks gorgeous by the way. Love her…
But I will have to wait about 2wks to by her album. I spent all my allowance my mother gave me on Chris Brown’s and Trey Songz cd….
@rah lmao i did. sorry just not a fan of alicia’s juvenile lyrics but most people aren’t very intelligent so i guess her music appeals to them
I cant preview the album b/c these old ass ladies keep saying my pc is too loud!..ugh. Anyway i do agree with a few of the post. I do think that she should be judged by the music she makes and not what she’s doing in her personal life. It’s just hard to get pass since she was always so empowering to us women. It just feels like she’s fake now. But i’ve always loved her music nonetheless so i will stop calling her a “Homewrecker” and judge her by her music alone. From the preview i was able to hear “Love is Blind” sounds pretty good. I do like “Try sleeping with a broken heart” tho too. Good luck Ms. Keys.
ALICIAKEYS LOOKING REAL ASHY AND SICK ON THESE PICS.COULD WE SAY NEED PROACTIVE,CRATER FACE A KEYS….SWIZZBEATS WOULD LEAVE HER IF HE GETS HER PREGNANT BECAUSE SHE WOULD GET FAT
*Sighs..
ahhh.. the good ole’ dayz reading #44′s post about “Allowance” in Lyfe Jennings voice.. “Must Be niiice”..
lol!
A KEYS MUSIC SUCK PLEASE ,SHE’S VERY FAKE ……I HOPE SHE TAKE ATLEAST A 8YR BREAK AWAY FROM THE SPOTLIGHT
The Element of Freedom is a cohesive album. It is deep lyrically and she shows all emotions: vulnerability, happiness, loyalty and sadness.
Alicia Keys is an artist constantly evolving. Her music is always relatable and mature.
To appreciate true artist, you have to know the history of music and how jazz and r&b has evolved. We will always support our music.
IF U REALLY LIKE JUNK MUSIC,GO GET THAT A KEYS ALBUM FOR FREE FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE ON THE NET
LULU get the fkcu out of here.
Alicia is beautiful, but her eyes seem so tired and vacant in these pictures. Will buy the album.
THE ALBUM IS FIRE!!!!
I like Alicia’s last cd, and therefore will give her a go with this one. I will say that the PUBLIC is SOOOOOOO FAKE AND PHONEY.
Nobody disses Alicia too hard b/c Mashonda was a mere “nobody.” If she had taken BEYONCE’s or MARY’s husband….the girl would have been STONED on site.
Save all that judge her by the music she makes bullshyt….she’s was with Swizz waaaaaayyy b4 his divorce and i know that to be factual!
its a good album
Thank goodness most people are focusing on the music, and not the “myths”/”truths”/”hearsay”/”word of mouth” gossip stories that are pure fodder. The music is what matters. NONE of these artists are angels. Not a one. And neither are any of us. Humans will be human. Period.
I just ordered the two disc vision of the Element of Freedom because I want the bonus tracks and the DVD.
The music is sophisticated and mature. I can relate to all her songs on his album. She know how to connect to her audience and compose beautiful music.
Luv and Support and positive women with great talent.
i haven’t listened to it yet..
she looks good
ALBUM IS ALRIGHT I LIKE HER FIRST ONE THOUGH
