    ALICIA LOOK LIKE SHE FRESH FROM AN ILLUMINATI CEREMONY IN THAT PIC….B**** NEEDS VOCAL LESSONS….IM STILL MAD I SAW THE CHICK LIVE AT THE ALL STAR GAME & SHE WAS UTTER TRASH…

    SHES ANOTHER “STUDIO SINGER” I DONT KNOW WHAT HAPPEENED TO HER VOICE….I GUESS ALL THAT HOMEWRECKIN RUINED HER VOICE…BUT SHES A DISSAPPOINTMENT LIVE & IN PERSON

    & THAT LAST ALBUM WAS UTTER HOMEWRECKING GARBAGE…I’M REALLY HOPIN SHE DOESNT BRING HER FAT ASS BACK THIS YEAR….

  11. Nichole January 4, 2011

    LMAO @ Trent editing comments!

  12. Dude January 4, 2011

    SMH @ Treent Really.

  13. MUSIC LOVER January 4, 2011

    Seriously f*** Alicia Keys! She’s nothing but a man-stealing tramp. Nobody cares about her or her whack ass wig.

  14. Liyah January 4, 2011

    I really think Alicia Keys did a great job on that song with my homegirl rapper Eve for the sec time after that Rock with you back in ’02!

  15. TRUTH TELLER January 4, 2011

    IF YOU DONT LIKE THE CHIC DONT COME ON A POST ABOUT HER DAAAYYYUUUMMM

    SHE IS TALENTED AND CAN SING HER ASS OFF….ME AND OTHER MILLIONS OF PPL THAT HAVE SEEN HER LIVE KNOW THIS!!!

    ITS FUNNY HOW A GREAT SENTIMENTAL SONG LIKE THIS CAN BE SWITCHED INTO AN UN-CALLED FOR NEGATIVE/HATING ONE.

    YOU ACT LIKE SHE THE 1ST WOMAN THAT HAS FELL IN LOVE WITH A GUY WHILE MARRIED….AND THE MATTER OF FACT IN THIS SITUATION IS THAT ALTHOUGH THEY WERE MARRIED…THEY HAD SEPARATED AND NOOOOO ONE KNOWS HOW THAT RELATIONSHIP WAS….EITHER WAY HE LOOKS PERFECTLY HAPPY WITH ALICIA NOW

    IF IT WAS A WOMAN WHO DATED A GUY WHILE MARRIED..BUT SEPARATED NOOO ONE WILL BE CALLING THAT NEW MAN A HOME WRECKER……S*** UR IGNORANT ASS WOULD PROBABLY BE THE ONE TO GIVE HER PROPS FOR MOVING ON U LAME FOOL

    EITHER WAY…HUMANS ARE JUST THAT HUMANS WITH FLAWS…WHO ARE WE TO JUDGE HER PERSONAL LIFE…..JUST ENJOY HER FOR WHO SHE IS AS AN ARTIST…AND A TRUE ONE AT THAT

    SHE SINGS/ PLAYS INSTRUMENT[S]/ ACTS/ AND MOST IMPORTANTLY ACTUALLY WRITES AND COMPOSES HER OWN MUSIC

    SHE IS AN ARTIST…SO HATE HER OR LOVE HER…..SHE IS A BLESSING IN THIS POP/MANUFACTURED MUSIC INDUSTRY

    BLESS

  16. Anthony The Great January 4, 2011

    Although I feel like Alicia is an overrated vocalist I still love her and she is one of the best musicians/songwriters out today.

    @TC;D

    Why the negativity?

  17. crbb January 4, 2011

    alica..definetly overrated!!!
    neways…jazmine sullivan- im not a robot

  18. True Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Blue January 4, 2011

    Hmm, so this makes this the third song called “Speechless” made by a popular artist.

    Seriously though, I really dig this song. It sounds like it could’ve been on “Diary of Alicia Keys”, and I do hope it’s a sign that she’ll return to that sound on her next album, because her past two albums were quite disappointing for me.

    And to all the idiots yapping about her being a “homewrecker” and whatnot, all I have to say to you is http://i44.tinypic.com/vsi4rb.gif

  19. Gilberto January 4, 2011

    I’m still waiting for “Put It In A Love Song” MV.

  20. Royalkev January 4, 2011

    The song is okay, I’m sure it’s room for it to grow on me. I admire Alicia Keys, the person. I like her attitude and spirit. I know she’s not perfect, but I’ll root for her because there’s a lot more positive than negative. Some people aren’t judged when they do far worst than she has, so I wish her nothing but blessings.

  21. CHECKMATE January 4, 2011

    That’s a Kanye track, how original – NOT!! All she did was change up the lyrics. SMH.

  22. Steph January 4, 2011

    I Love Alicia Keys
    ……………………………….BUT MY DUDE,,,, CeTerio Dontez on youtube is much better
    b on the look out!!!
    lol.

  23. S*** January 4, 2011

    @ TC ;D

    H**, When you stain for someone who sounds like Kelly Rowland Drowning under water, you have NO RIGHT to speak on anyone’s Voice. Say what you want about Strainicia Off-Keys but shes Shitting all over Trandy & thats FACT!!

    http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ldwh0pjWAt1qej93ko1_500.gif

    Anyway, I really wish Both Mariah, MJB & Alicia & a CPL others would just step there Cookies Up, Beyonce want WORTHY adversaries & the Best the idustry can do right now is Rihanna & Lady Gaga??

    Oh Well, If Beyonce must S*** on the Game alone then so be it 🙂

  24. koko January 4, 2011

    Alicia tweeted that this was not a new song just having fun in the studio and decided to give something to her fans. Yes they acknowledged it is over Kanye’s Devil in a New Dress beat.

  25. anthony freeman January 4, 2011

    wow great song love alicia keys

  26. Great January 4, 2011

    It’s refreshing to see a real artist at work. Keep up the good work Alicia!

  27. james227 January 4, 2011

    Illuminati or not she can sing. Rihanna also llluminati and can’t sing she nothing but a gimmick. I love this song and Eve put in the finishing touch. Love you Eve now that how a real woman rapper should sound.

  28. True Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Blue January 4, 2011

  32. kiki January 4, 2011

    I wish you people would get over Put it in a Love Song. If she were going to release the video, she would’ve done it by now. Let it go!!

  33. S*** January 4, 2011

    @ True Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Blue

    I have to commend you for this post in the other thread”

    ” “Go to Wikipedia and search ICON Gaga is there, but no Beyonce.”

    B****, I could go on Wikipedia and write that Ashanti is a bigger icon than Elvis, so you immediately fail by using Wikipedia as a source (not that Wikipedia is 100% unreliable, but people like you are why it can never be taken seriously, because you treat literally everything that is written on there like the gospel).

    What has Gaga accomplished in two years that Beyoncé hasn’t? Only people who know jack s*** about Bey’s career say that, which is another clue that you are NOT a fan. You know Destiny’s Child, the group that she used to be a part of since she was a child and was around from ‘97-’05? They’re one of the most successful groups of all time. They’ve sold well over 40 million records worldwide, and that is excluding solo projects from any of the former band members. Billboard Magazine named them as one of the greatest musical trios of all time. They were also in the top ten of Billboard’s best artists of the past DECADE, and I don’t see Gaga in that top ten, which she should be for someone who’s apparently done everything Beyoncé has in a shorter amount of time, as you claim. She’s been co-signed by serious artists who normally wouldn’t give a s*** about pop stars.

    Beyoncé doesn’t know the word flop, because it hasn’t yet occurred to her, which is pretty amazing for someone who’s been putting out music for nearly 14 years now. Yes, what Gaga has accomplished is indeed mind-blowing, and she is very talented and she does deserve her props for that. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves and call her an icon when she’s ONLY been out for two years. It’s not unheard of for artists to enjoy mass success at the beginning of their career, only to see hype die down and for the hotness of their career to stop *cough* Brandy, Monica, Ashanti *cough*. No one is an icon after only two f****** years in the game, time will dictate hat. Again, it is people like you that will make it harder for Gaga to top herself, because you’re all putting her on some pedestal that she has not yet proven herself to be deserving of. And I’m a Gaga fan saying this.

    If Beyoncé isn’t an icon now, then she most definitely WILL BE. How many artists who’ve been in the game as long as she has can boast of the success that she has? Few.”

    =============
    COMING FROM YOU!!???, WOW!!, Thats the best thing you’ve Ever said!, Agreed 100% well except for Gaga being talented (outside from that Piano & Song Writing I guess). GREAT POST 🙂

    True Blue said, “Hmm, so this makes this the third song called “Speechless” made by a popular artist.”

    Just remember who did it first, because if that person had made a song called “Speechless” second she would be called a swagger jacker and thief.

  41. tae January 4, 2011

    yall are so damn dumb aint no such thing as a swagger jacker from a song title…..and it is more than three artists with that speechless title
    michael jackson
    gaga
    ciara
    beyonce
    etc search it gay f****

  42. John January 4, 2011

    Why do you care about celebrities personal life? Most of the times we probably don´t even know the truth.
    Anyway, Alicia is an ARTIST. She sings off key sometimes but that doesn´t take away from her that fact. And I don´t know why Beyonce stans are trying to discredit other artist (as always) on this post. Even Rihanna stans have said nothing this time. They must be still mad about the songwriting thing and try to come for a real songwriter

  43. TRUTH TELLER January 4, 2011

    @ANTHONY I DIDNT KNOW MJ WAS A WOMAN???

    CHECK UR HISTORY BRAHHHH MJ HAD A SONG CALLED SPEECHLESS 1ST…
    U KNW F THAT MAYBE HE DIDNT MAYBE THERE WAS ANOTHER ARTIST B4 HIM THAT HAD THE SAME TITLE

    EITHER WAY THE SENTIMENTS OF EACH SONG ARE DIFFERENT

    THE OTHERS WERE LOVE SONGS FOR MEN/WOMEN THIS A LOVELY REPRESENTATION OF HER LOVE FOR HER SON….SOOOOO

    BLESS

    Eve and Alicia both sound great. The “Devil in a New Dress” is fly for this song. I have not heard Eve sound this good in a long time! Dope!

  46. Simply Phillip Brown January 4, 2011

    I love this song!

    Love the song first listen! GO ALICIA “HOMEWRECKA” KEYS!!!

  48. ~aMaZiNG.Lee~ January 4, 2011

    The song is okay. It has to grow on me. The best part is my girl EVE! I freaking LOVE her! <3 She needs to HURRY the hell up with her new album. I'm SOOOOOOO excited! TEAM EVE!

  49. True Blue January 4, 2011

    @S***:

    Why are you surprised that I would defend Beyonce where I see fit? Haven’t I always made it abundantly clear that I am a big fan of hers? I’m not a delusional stan, but I always correct people when they’re wrong, which the idiot that I replying to most certainly was. And I’m shocked that you actually give Gaga props on her songwriting and piano-playing, are you okay?

    @AnthonyTheGreat:

    Too true.

  50. True Blue January 4, 2011

    * that I was replying to.

  51. VA STAND UP!!! January 4, 2011

    This footage was cute. I love to see celebs in their element in the studio, it makes them seem so…real. I didn’t like the song at first, I thought it was too boring and Eve didn’t do anything for me, but this footage made me like it more. At first I thought it was about Swizz, but I think it’s cute that its about her son.

    I wonder when he are gonna get the new album from Eve. Seems like forever since she had an album out! *shrugs*

  52. George Liquor January 5, 2011

    How can you people hate Alicia keys?She has true talent,yet you show such disrespect.

  53. Andrew January 8, 2011

    That was pretty good :]
    love Alicia & Eve

    GANGSTA LOVIN
