I’ve always been an A. Keys fan, so I’ll be buying this album. Her performances at the American Music Awards were undeniably good. I’m making the choice to respect her for her artistry and the music and trying very hard to not examine the choices she’s made in her personal life.

yeah, cant wait to hear the track with beyonce, too.
wonder if their voices will match
love “try sleeping with a broken heart”
and stop bashing her because of swizz beats, y’all saying that one should forgive and forget (chris brown) and start hating on alicia…
love is weird…and there is always more than one person who is responsible for such changes.
if it hasn’t been broken, she wasn’t together with him

I’m not that big of an Alicia fan, but ever since I heard Doesn’t mean anything, and the latest single Try sleeping with a broken heart, I’ve started to listen to her songs more. Didn’t think I would but I might just buy this album!!!
