Her first album wasn't a masterpiece of anything but it seemed like the beginning of a great string of amazing traditional RnB releases. Of course she made too much of an effort to garner hip hop respect she brought in all these losers to produce her shit and guide it the wrong way. Instead of becoming the female Stevie, Elton or Billy Joel, she's becoming the female Timberlake or Usher. The difference? People still talk about, respect, and buy the 70s work of Wonder, John, and Joel. 30 years from now no one will be praising Justified or whatever that fucker's new album is called.She should call up Jack White again, play him Songs in the Key of Life, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, and The Stranger and tell him I want my next album to sound like those three merged into one and then you'll hear some great RnB.

Alicia keys has immense talent. Shallow lets be honest, you always tryna put down black talent, its quite boring now. As for alicia becoming the new justin timberlake, or the female version of him, thats rubbish. Usher has alot of talent by the way, has a great voice and put out a bad album but shit happens. There are some rnb singers today who could get a pass in terms of voice of any era but its a different industry and vibe today. She is also very good with the keys as we all know but i sure hope she aint looking to become the next elton.lol..just my opinion but she different to that. We'll see what the future holds for her music but if i was her, id get down with someone like quincy to do the majority of it and get him to simplify it and let he do her thing on the keys and bring it forward with modern music too. And for who she should work with in the future, she should work with those she feels comfortable with and those who can continue to bring the best out of her. She is still putting out good music and selling well too. You cant go wrong there. Maybe not as great as when she first came out, but some of the stuff she puts out is still real nice.pz
There is nothing obscure about Motown, Wilson Pickett, Sam Cooke, Otis Redding, or James Brown. There is talent and then there is no talent. More people will always know and love the voices of David Ruffin and Eddie Kendricks than the voices of KC and Jojo. In fact I'm using examples that are the exact opposite of what you claim I do. The songs are more popular. They sold more. And will continue to sell more.This is what RnB is supposed to sound like;

White showed me with Loretta Lynn that he can produce outside of his style and I think he can do Alicia justice.I'm not the world's biggest Billy Joel fan but from an 80s pop perspective he is amaster of fun little ditties. Aren't you an MJ fan? Or am I thinking of someone else.Either way if Alicia Keys could record songs half as good as New York State of Mind and Only the Good Die Young, she'd be in great shape.
