“Alicia Keys music is boring and nobody is checking for her outside of the black community.”

That’s because Alicia hasn’t gotten to the point of selling her soul for popularity and money. She still has some dignity. For now anyway.

^^^you deserve Alicia stan of the century award. You aint stating nothing but opinions and not FACTS. It’s a FACT that Beyonce has sold 130 million records. And it’s a FACT that Beyonce is more popular,richer,and more successful than Alicia Keys. Alicia Keys music is boring and nobody is checking for her outside of the black community. When Alicia has 5 commercials on t.v and is #4 on Forbes like Beyonce then you can compare.

Oh and Alicia post turned into a Beyonce post.LMAO

beyonce don’t have 130 million albums unless you combing what she has sold with DC3 than maybe. beyonce has sold only about 18 million ablums as a solo artist, thanks and all YOU who say that alicia keys album is boring thatis because you can’t appreciate good music and respectable lyrics. you want a beat that you can shake you booty to like beyonce’s songs but if we paid attetion to the lyrics of songs rather than their ass shaking beats you will see that some albums aint worth buying. ALICIA KEYS lyrics can’t have that kind of beat to it or it will mess the lyrics up. no im not hating just being truthful. beyonce’s b-day has sold a little over 5 million albums worldwide but some website say 7 million, but on the back of her Beyonce Experince DVD she said the album sold over 5 million. so thanks. the only good song on B’DAY WAS irreplacable, abd that wasn’t her song it’s ne-yo’s, so there.

Ok, I am usually not into the whole blogger thing. But people are obviously misinformed. This whole beyonce vs Alicia vs Mary, it bothers me. They are all very accomplished, extremely successful, and I have to say RICH! However, Beyonce has not sold 130 million records, so sorry, only mariah and celine dion have had such accomplishments. Beyonce may be considered 130 X platinum, however, platinum status in the US is 1 million records shipped, in different areas of the world platinum status may be 10,000 copies or 100,000 copies. As for as solo careers, Alicia keys would be considered more accomplished because she has sold over 25 million records worldwide, and she has 9 grammys with only two studio albums. Alicia has only been in the game for 6 years vs Beyonces 10 years. I love both these extremely talented ladies… But the most accomplished female artisit to date is Mariah Carey, who has sold over 160 million records worldwide. Alicia has earned more prestiges accolades, such as Best new artist, Best R&B album and best Song at the grammys.

I hate it when a topic on Alicia turns into a bey vs alicia conversation. Right now is Alicia’s time. I don’t believe Bey deserved that award before women like Madonna, Whitney, Mariah, Celine…say what you want but those ladies put it down in major ways. I feel they gave her that this year to get her to show up cause she didn’t win anything else. She deserves it maybe in a few years, but not now. Both ladies are great at what they do and deserve to shine. Congratulations to Alicia for having the #1 album and #1 song in the country by a very large margin for the fourth time.

Congratulations to Alicia for doing it real big her first week out! No One is also number one on the hot 100. Actually No One was released in time for the Grammys so that song will be nominated this year probably get nominated for best R&B song and performance. 09 will be the year she does it real big at the grammys though, because the album will be nominated along with the rest of the singles she will release. Look for Lesson Learned to be big at the grammys in 09 and Superwoman those are the type of songs the grammys love. Her CD is off the hook and there is nothing wrong with album sales people just aren’t spending money on any and everything people put out these days we want quality. Just because you have one big single doesn’t make people bum rush the stores. Congrats to Miss. Keys she deserves to be sitting on top.

@ 57 Alicia done had how many solo albums? Don’t forget Beyonce has only had 2 solo albums? When Beyonce releases her 3rd album she’ll probably sell more than Alicia first week. Until then you can’t really judge. Besides Beyonce is more popular and more successful than Alicia based on her entire career. So Beyonce ain’t got nothing to worry about. Let Alicia have her shine w/o trying to belittle Beyonce b/c Beyonce is still running shit. It’s just Alicia’s time to shine and when Beyonce releases another album it will be her time.

Naw Alicia cool but she still can’t fuck with no Beyonce. Beyonce does it all but Alicia do the same boring shit over and over. But congrats to her on her sales though.

See Alicia Keys is what you call a “real musician”. She aint into poppin her booty in videos and all that shit that Bey does. I aint mad at Bey for doin what she does but I’m explaining the difference. With Alicia Keys you always know that she is gonna bring that pure, black, neo soul sound to the table for us. She shows her musiscan ship when she plays piana and all that. That’s why Alicia sold more than Bey in the first week. “Good” music always wins eventually. It’s like the 50 cent vs Knaye thing.
