Isn't there a thread on here where everyone was calling her a one-hit wonder after If It's Luvin That You Want flopped?

I just said that.

When Alicia Keys dropped The Diary of Alicia Keys and sold 618k first week, we had already known Alicia Keys was competitive.

Her best song

If It's A Legend That You Wen is one of her best bops. What kind of top 5 Rihanna songel?!?!

[Lipton]

which group did you stan for?

[Cap10Planet]

Alicia chose all the right singles that era. That's why she was so competitive with Beyonce on the charts, at award shows, with respect, etc, and those other girls faded. "If I Ain't Got You" was like her "Someone Like You" at the time. Mary survived it, too, but she was more of an OG by that point.

You can't really blame people. Pon De Replay sounded like a one-hit wonder to be forgotten by the next quarter if ever there was one.

Nobody could have foreseen...

I used to love Ashanti's debut when I was younger.

Ashanti dragging is always funny. She is mediocrely talented and her music hasn't been great in nearly a decade.

The "Aaliyah obliterates Ashitty" video on YouTube still kills me. The side-by-side placement of their National Anthem performances.

Beyonce single-handedly destroying so many careers.

Take that back, ***!

Pepcé snatched nothing. Her eras were too underwhelming to have any impact. All the relevant R&B girls were already gone or in the process of fading when Pepcé came on the scene. She only had Alicia as competition and she still lost.

Mary ain't survive ****. She was flopping for filth between Family Affair and BWY.

None cared about it. The equivalent of a Vivica Fox.

Luckily for her, God-Z landed his penis on her runway sized forehead for album 3.

"Where My Girls At" and "Steelo" **** all over Blaque's and Three Little Men's discography.

Girl on Fire (the album) has sold over 700k. It'll go Platinum if it hasn't already.
That's impressive, and featuring Nicki on a remix was brilliant.
Alicia is an underrated business woman.

How much did Ascreechia her last ablum do WW?

Remember when Alicia was still able to sing on key?

[Lipton]

Racist, remember when Sean Paul debuted and punched several girls out?

Alicia is the only one that survived the Beyonce storm wave, but Giselle still has her beat in terms of star power & branding.

Being married to Jay Zoo has helped her immensely, and Maffew stealing Amerie's original plan to make gogo/R&B/funk songs with Rich Harrison for his daughter helped as well.
Alicia should come out (even if she's not gay). It would help her get some publicity & def. raise her profile. Whats more interesting than being a lesbian homewrecking pianist mother?
