Why There Is No One Like Alicia Keys

No One, Like You Never See Me Again, and Unthinkable are my favorite Alicia Keys songs. When I want to slow it down, I listen to Alicia’s music. I believe she’s a modern day Roberta Flack and Gladys Knight.

Do you love her new braids? The Doesn’t Mean Anythingsinger doesn’t mind throwing it back. Isn’t she wonderful? Did you know she’s part Italian?

Some people compare her to Beyoncé and Mariah Carey. However, she should be recognized for her uniqueness. Acknowledge this amazing music artist on her own merits.

First, the mother of two nurtures her crowds. The celebrity cares deeply about humanity. That’s why whenever she accepts an award she raises awareness about pressing issues.

Secondly, she writes the best lyrics in the music business. In addition, Alicia’s melodies are catchy. Fans know that it’s nearly impossible getting her songs out of your head.

For the record, I’ve been an Alicia Keys supporter forever. You Don’t Know My Name, Fallin‘, and If I Ain’t Got You were my jams back in the day. The singer is especially poetic.

Third, she sings with purpose. She strives to shine her light. These days the world is very dark. Alicia Keys is a bright spot on the map.

The sweetheart gives hope. You know it’s about to get good when Keys sits at that piano. There is no one like Alicia Keys. She is the crème de la crème.

Finally, I appreciate her softness and diligence. Her pitch and tone are pleasing to the ears. She is not a bad actress either. Like singer/actress Lena Horne she’s got rhythm.

I wonder if Mya and Ashanti would mind opening for Alicia Keys. What if the three of them formed a music group? From New York to Japan, fans love attending Alicia’s concerts.

Nothing compares to Alicia Keys at her finest.

If it was 4 AM on Saturday and Melanie Fiona was my girlfriend, worrying about my whereabouts would be the last thing on her mind. There’s a good chance after a year or so together, I would put a ring on it. Plus, I’d heal her bruised heart the best way I could.

I’m more attracted to a sweet voice than a pretty smile because you can’t fake the former at least when it comes to singing. I’ve seen many fake smiling faces masquerading behind their makeups and cosmetics. Based on experience love is all about communication.

Like Mya said: Get to know me…”cause I’m more than a souvenir on your trophy case. Love me like a woman.”

There is something sincere yet sensual about singing a perfect note and carrying a flawless tune. Melanie has a dynamic style, excellent vocal range along with awesome clarity. The Lucious Lyon sound presented by Cookie Lyon doesn’t have shit on Melanie Fiona.

Does it help that Melanie Fiona looks like a 25-year-old Halle Berry? Absolutely, but I’ll mainly discuss her fine singing abilities. Isn’t it obvious Melanie makes amazing music?

Right now Melanie Fiona has produced 2 studio albums over 7 years. She had an unfavorable contract, so her situation is understandable. Because of her deal with Roc Nation, you should expect more production from this star.

Fiona sounds like a modern day Tina Turner mixed with Billie Holiday and Etta James. First off, Canadians must be proud because she took her Grammy and music awards back to her hometown of Toronto. Second, there are not many female musicians capable of matching her soulfulness. In the soul genre, Fiona sits in a class instructed by Lauryn Hill. Her classmates include Alicia Keys, Fantasia, Jennifer Hudson, and Jazmine Sullivan.

When Mya and Ashanti Ruled Supreme

Long before rap and hip-hop, Diana Ross and the Supremes sang rhythm and blues (R&B). Mya and Ashanti dominated R&B when I was younger. And they’re still kicking it tonight like Xscape.

There’s no doubt in mind that Motown’s beat influenced Mya’s sound. Independent since 2008, Planet 9 founder Miss Mya is building her throne one golden brick at a time. I want Mya to reach the level, where she’s producing other music artists.

Is Mya’s brand durable? Let me say she’s in good company. Like Mya, billionaire Mark Cuban competed on Dancing with the Stars along with multi-millionaires Floyd “Money” Mayweather and Mario “Slater” Lopez.

Mya’s sweet and gentle voice soothes the pain. She keeps up a Paula Abdul type/ good girl image. But, is she really a bad girl like Rihanna?

What are your favorite Mya songs and albums?

I thoroughly enjoy Ridin’ from Liberation. What is more, Mya is a fine actress and versatile entertainer. Did you know she was a highly trained tap dancer?

Everyone will always remember Ashanti for her collaboration with Ja Rule. Nowadays, chemistry and entertainment don’t mix. Ashanti and Ja Rule should reunite for music’s and Pete’s sake.

Ashanti holds the record for fastest selling

debut album. Overwhelmingly, 2002 belonged to Ashanti musically. Ashanti’s Foolish video featured none other than Empire’s Terrence Howard.

I admire Ashanti for following her dreams. If she started her career today, she would be bigger than Jupiter. Skillfully, Ashanti is tremendously gifted in the dramatic arts. Moreover, the entertainer’s vocal abilities are perfect for Broadway.

In Rain on Me, Larenz Tate plays Ashanti’s cheating husband. Clearly, the rain symbolizes the fogginess of marriage and relationships. Her performance conveys a range of feelings and emotions.

Mya and Ashanti were ahead of their time, while Beyoncé and Alicia Keys had perfect timing. Still, Mya and Ashanti climbed to the top of the charts. Let’s remember when Mya and Ashanti ruled supreme.
