I Am... Sasha Fierce was a worse album than Girl on Fire, though. Dangerously in Love is full of filler. Beyonce has ST, B'Day and 4. If Alicia can put out something exciting again, then sky's the limit.
And Alicia's last album was so horrible, literally Bey would never.
I just thought about yesterday how Alicia is the Christina to Beyonce's Britney.
I will never forget how Rick went in on Alicia in her prime
Quote:
Now what’s going on with you and Alicia Keys?
Rick James: “I don’t know. She calls her first album, ‘Songs In A Minor,’ and all of the songs are in E and D. I don’t think she knows her grammatical skill, personally. I think she’s ‘The Gong Show.’ When she did the Donny Hathaway song in front of millions of people and f@#%ed it up, that just goes to show you right there what’s going on…What about Rachelle Ferrell, or Lalah Hathaway? What about all these serious bitches that can really sing? Alicia Keys? Because Clive Davis eats the best See’s Candies and gives the best whatever, and wants to show Whitney [Houston] that she ain’t s@#%, yeah, he’s going to put his effort in Alicia Keys.”
Well, Alicia is playing the piano…
Rick James: “Yeah, in a key of A flat, right? Try playing one of those songs in A flat.”
The album is called “A Minor”! “A Minor, A Flat…we call it A Flat. A Minor -- my ass. Minor is giving her an A-Plus”. Well, she is a minor.
You don’t cut these new kids no slack, huh?
Rick James: “I got a 13 year old girl in Buffalo who will take Alicia Keys eat her up and spit her out like a suppository. I’m not saying her name because she’s underage, number one, and her mother is a friend and won’t let her get in the business because she’s in church.”
The Diary era slayed. After the so-called 'Beyonceitis', where literally every female R&B suffered, Alicia Keys was able to pull through and delivered one of the most successful releases of 2003/2004.
Diary, You Don't Know My Name, Karma, If I Ain't Got You >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Not that "DEADLiyah" account thing I remember when SYG was at it's nastiest and they would post those creepy Aaliyah montage videos. It was so ratchet and weird
