Alicia Keys Newbies

Doesn't Mean Anything (snippet):

Sleeping With A Broken Heart:


.... We all know I've loved Alicia Keys since the beginning. I remember the very first time I saw the "Fallin'" video and I happily went to her last 2 concerts.

Diary of Alicia Keys is my favorite, but As I Am most certainly kept me interested in what was to come.

BAM, fast forward to today and I'm ridiculously disappointed.

I just can't wrap my mind around "Doesn't Mean Anything" =/
From the first time I heard it, I was confused. She already did "No One" ... so exactly what was the point of this new track?
Then I hear this new one... and again! I'm not satisfied.
It's not only the music I don't like, but I'm afraid to say that I don't even like the vocals.
The vocals don't sit well with me.

*sigh* There's more.
I'm ashamed to say that all of this gossip surrounding this love triangle that is Alicia Keys- Swizz Beatz- Mashonda may have had an impact on my feelings... Pathetic lol I know.
It's just weird! I'm hearing her talking about how "it doesn't mean anythiiiiiiiiiiiiiing" and Swizzy! clouds my mind.
I don't wanna call A Keys a homewrecker... but come on, dude was truly still married.

This is EXACTLY why the media & paparazzi shouldn't pry into people's lives- it takes away!!!!

I can't believe this nonsense.

focus on the music, just focus on the music...

And with that said, I'll let "How Come You Don't Call Me" rock and hope that I like the rest of the new album, Element of Freedom.
