Bottom-Line: As I Am feels and sounds more personal, more wistful and wishful; Keys is singing about the state of her soul
Upon release, As I Am, like its predecessors won wide-spread critical acclaim and debuted on the charts at No. 1 selling some 742,000 copies in its first week of release making it...

This album is boring and bland. If you like oversung songs, this is the one for you.
I liked 'No One' when it first came out but now I'm sick of it.
The rest of the album sounds like the first single and every one of her other songs.
She has made no music that stands out from all the other r&b music singers...

After hearing her single played on the radio and videos, I knew that Alicia Keys new cd "As I Am" would be the bomb. Last week I saw her show on BET "Alicia Keys by Request" and it was really great. I think that her new cd shows that she has matured a whole lot and has put her music on another level. She is a very extraordinary person who has really put alot into this cd and made it what it is. Her music is so phenomenal on this cd that it's like I can relate to some of the things that she is talking about. I think as an artist she is one of the best.
I love her music so much that it has touched...

since she came into the music world as a r&b artist, i hadn't felt so much soul in a song since whitney houston. you can tell that she actually feels what she is singing. i listen to the sound that comes from deep within and it brings tears to my eyes. for here voice literally touches my soul. I thank you for being the woman that you are. so to show how honored i am by you . i write these words just for you......

This is a remarkable cd. Several tracks speak to me. I appreciate music I am able to connect with---and this is such music. I enjoy Alicia Keys' music and have since album #1. She is gifted and her giftedness radiates through her music. I really appreciate the cornucopia of sound on this particular cd. She begins with a classical opening track and takes you on a journey through many genres throughout the cd. She is awesome.
Alicia Keys touches on a societal issue dear to my heart, "single mothers", mothers and women in general. Not only is the sound and technical aspects of the cd marvelous but...

Where you can stay forever
You can be sure
That it will only get better
You and me together
Through the days and nights
I don't worry 'cause
Everything's going to be alright
People keep talking they can say what they like
But all i know is everything's going to be alright
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you, you, you
Can get in the way of what I feel for you
When the rain is pouring down
And my heart is hurting
You will always be around
This I know for certain
You and me together

This CD has great music, but when local stations play the same song or two every fifteen minutes it makes me not want to play the cd AT ALL!
Alicia, however, is a very talented pianist. She has a true talent on the keys, and she is fully capable of entertaining. The production is slick, but very commercial. The sound quality is top-notch, as well.
