I absolutely love Alicia Keys and her performances are always great! Both ladies looked great…I just wish Beyonce would learn to put some pants on…B you have a nice figure and you don’t need to be nearly naked to show it.

AK, you don’t need to be dancing hunny. First you were doing the “butterfly” to Sleeping with a Broken heart, now you “stirring pots” to put it in a love song. LMAO!! Still love you though.

Uggh. After the rumors of A. Key’s affair with Swizz Ugly, I don’t have any respect for her as woman. She’s always talking about woman this and morales that and she is no different than these other woman out here messing around with married Men.
She is definitely mediocre. Clive knows how to market, she is pretty and that’s the only thing that helped boost her career, because if you review all of her albums, she will have one or two tracks that hit the radio and that’s it. Like this song, it will get airplay and videoplay b/c Beyonce is it. The song itself is whack.
I know my opinion doesn’t matter, she will still be paid, I know she wont read this, but I’m sharing my opinion with others on this post. She’s lucky she is pretty, otherwise she would be shelved/forgotten like India Arie (who can actually sing). Alicia doesn’t sing, she talks and yells throughout her songs. Never liked “No One”.

Man, Everytime I see beyonce all i see is that UGLY BI persona she managed to portray in that nasty, tacky video with Lady Gaga.
I seriously think Beyonce is Bisxual, because even though she portrays a feminine image ‘most of the time’, if you study her closely she does demonstrate alotta ‘masculine’ qualities. She is definitely downlow.
…and Alicia Keys is Dyke obviously, I find it mad that she is in a relationship with a MAN…. Damn really????
These celebrities are so shady, they think they can fool the public but they cant fool me. They all sleep with eachother behind close doors. Jay cheats on Beyonce’s ass on a daily and as for Beyonce shes tryin to find ways to release her latent opressed Lesbian desires with Alicia Keys and Lady Gaga!

If Alicia sat down and did this song from the piano then people would be saying she should have gotten up and walked or something. While I don’t love the song it is fun and upbeat so the dancing was light and upbeat. She didn’t try to do any serious choreography so it was cool. Whether it works or not an artist should try different things sometimes, so kudos to her for switching it up a bit. No need to compare the two they are different talents who shine in their own way. Alicia looked like herself and Beyonce looked like herself.

@ 24 you are so right!
We all know Alicia Keys loves the ladies and is a carpet muncher and Beyonce is down for anything so you know Alicia is happy to be munching Beyonce down.
Plus, that gives more time for Gay Z and Swizz Beatz to play hiking footballs.
Wow, Robin Thick looks like a queen every time I see him. He is more feminine than Alicia Keys. I would not be surprised if they revealed he was a woman taking testosterone pills/shots.

I’m sorry but who told Alicia Keys to dance? She reminds me of that butch lesbian Flo on that show The Bad Girls Club and gives the lesbian vibe that Sanaa Lathan is giving off.

It is so many hypocrites on this site.
When alicia played the piano, ya’ll said she should dance more. Now you’re telling her not to dance.
And bey is nowhere near naked. chicks like rihanna and trina dress like hookers on a regular basis. the only time you see bey wearing sexy stuff is in videos and onstage, not on a regular basis.
both women are very beautiful and talented. they deserve all their success.
enough with the gay rumors. haters always wanna call somebody gay. get some proof first.

I like A. Keys and she does have a cute shape but I know the simple dance routine was so that Beyonce wouldnt lose Alicia… Work on your dancing A. Keys.
Cute performance.

@REAL TALK
So agree with you. Both ladies are beautiful. If people didn’t try and find something harse to say about these stars I just don’t know. Beyonce is far from being Bi. She’s a girly girl and yes she may even be a little freaky on the stage but think about it, Jay-z knows what he has and he’s very proud of it. I don’t believe Alicia is gay but yes she grew up as a tomboy,dosn’t mean that she is gay. Truly i don’t believe Jay-z is gay at all. So people stop the madness and speak on what is proven real. All is very good musicans, very talented and at the top of their game in this industry.

Alicia keys CAN sing. She not be the strongest vocalist, but her voice is a step above mediocre. Keyshia Cole, Ashanti are mediocre singers. Anyway the two baddest chicks in the game, each with their own style.

Rihanna is now the female artist with most number 1 singles (S.O.S., Umbrella, Disturbia, Take A Bow, Live Your Life, Rude Boy) in the United States since 2000 – she’s not tied with anyone. She also has 8 top 3 singles, 14 top 10, and 18 top 20 singles!

Alicia Keys concert was “EPIC”. Not just because both Beyonce and Jay-Z were there, but because she is just a real, real musician and vocalist with mad skills.
I absolutely love her style and vocals. She reminds me of Prince.

Some people just have so much ugliness and jealousy inside of them. I happen to think Alicia is a very talented beautiful young lady, so what if she can’t dance. I think Beyonce is a bootyshaker to the core, nevertheless, she is a pretty young lady also. It is things I might think, but why say them, better to keep quiet than open your mouth and look like a fool.

Concert was AWESOME! Everyone was soooo surprised when Beyonce came out. I wished they had sang the whole song though. When she sang Empire state of mind, people went crazy when Jay came out. It was awesome. They sang the entire song. And the energy in the room was indescribable. Swiss beats came out before Jay did, but some people didn’t even know who he was, LOL. I guess Jay wasn’t kidding when he said he might where black 4 years straight.

Wow! As I read some of these comments, I see how miserable most people are in their own personal lives. All this speculation about people we don’t really know. People have tried to pin these two artists against each other. But it’s clear that they at the least, have a mutual respect for each other. Don’t be jealous of these people’s success. I know, it is hard sometimes to look at celebs living this “larger than life” lifestyle, when we all have our regular jobs and problems. But maybe, just maybe they can be an inspiration to each person to be the best they can be…whether that might be going back to school or starting their own business or whatever.
