Alicia is the truth, one of the most talented in the industry, writer, producer, singer, philanthropist, she walks the walk, I see her around fro many, many years, she will be the Stevie and Aretha of her day. Longevity. You remember where you were when you first heard an Alicia Keys song, and her songs are timeless. I can’t wait for the show on June 30th, got my ticket and ready to go, it will be one to remember. I wish for many, many more years of great work from Alicia. She is Blessed!!

no one is checking for her this time around, shes been out of the spotlight for a while now.
BEYONCE SHOULD BE DAZED AND CUNFUSED AS TO WHY HER ALBUM LEAKED!! SHE NEEDS TO PUSH UP THE ALBUM, SELL IT FOR 99 CENTS AND MAKE A BETTER DELUXE ALBUM, AINT NO ONE WANNA HEAR A REMIX OF A SONG!! NEXT!!

@Teairra are you insane? no one is checking for her? Alicia released a song for her fans earlier this year(speechless) and it entered the d*mn charts, it wasnt even a real release, just something for her fans, no promotions, no television, no anything. You people just don’t get it. Alicia could go away for 6 years and still sell. June 30th concert tickets went on sale last month and sold out in less than 5 min. Somebody is checking for her trust me. Music Lovers and Lovers of true talent and true music are checking for her.

There’s nothing out of the ordinary about releasing a special edition version of a notable album to commemorate its anniversary milestone, but this self-made documentary seems a little self-indulgent for me.

Some people SERIOUSLY need to get a life and mind their own fucking business… SMH.

Love Alicia Keys! Even I’M shocked at all she’s achieved, esp given the kind of music she makes, which isn’t very popular nowadays. Congrats, A. Keys!

I’m really glad for her team, but I can tell you personally that this is also very very sad. Songs in A Minor was made off the backs or three very very important brothers that are all getting lost in the history of this monumental album.
Nowhere in the documentary is credit given to the Flowers Brothers. Vic, Reggie and G Flowers (look up the actual credits on the album) were Alicia’s band when all her recording budgets were spent, when she could barely afford to pay rent in an up-town NYC apartment, and when she consistently struggled to perform a song from start to finish without stopping or making an error. The Flowers Bros before Alicia had backed-up legendary Guru on his JazzMatazz Albums and tours, and had deals with MCA and Issac Hayes ‘Hot Buttered Soul’ production company. I remember seeing Kerry ‘Krucial’ Brothers back then… pushing a button on his MPC and calling that “producing’. The tiny apartment Alicia keeps referring to in the press and on the documentary preview is where she recorded almost all the tracks that got released on ‘Song in A Minor’ … and the ensemble sound, the instrumentation, the musicianal development… look at the album’s backing credits for proof.

This is too much. I even think that BET letting her celebrate this album is TOO MUCH. It would be cool if people actually cared but no one does. She should be resting or promoting a new album. I love her but, it’s just stupid. get 20 years under your belt and then we will celebrate. You still got work to do Alicia!

@THE PERRYLICIOUS IS TAKING OVER…
Requesting the source of the information you possess about Beyonce pushing back her album.
And you look silly calling Beyonce and Alicia Keys flops when it’s YOUR favorite that hasn’t one album that sold more than 10 million WW. (Beyonce; Dangerously In Love, Alicia Keys; Songs In A Minor)
You’re just a basic bitch.

Don’t compare legendary greatness to a pathetic singles artist.
Alicia has multiple albums that outsell Both of Katys combined. Stick to comparing your fav to lesser bitches in her league like Ke$ha GaGa and Rihanna

I love all of her songs, especially ‘Woman’s Worth’. She is so talented and beautiful. One of the very few artists that can actually sing live. Can’t wait till she releases a new album, though I think she’s busy with family at the moment.

VA STAND UP!!
June 11, 2011 at 5:52 am
Awww! This was really dope! I like it when artist do things like this and give us some insight to what’s going on or was going on behind the scenes. SOME people may think it’s self indulgent but for her die hard fans like myself, we appreaciate things like this! I don’t doubt that is also for promotion though. She prolly has a new single coming out & a new album so this could only help.
Hearing all her old songs from her first album really took me back! I have all of her albums, and with the exception of the last I really enjoyed them all but her first is still a classic! I remember her first single from ‘Songs in A Minor’ was ‘Girlfriend’! That was my SHIT back in the day! People didn’t really catch on to her until ‘Fallen’ but I was already hooked after ‘Girlfriend’. I knew she was gonna blow up & I was right!
S/N: Her hair looks AMAZING! Love it! I almost want to go out & get me some extentions so I can rock it like that, but it’s too damn hot in VA for all that. Lol!
