@true blue, If you don't think Alicia is even much better singing live, then you are not an Alicia Keys fan. She is absolutely amazing! Whether she is perfect or not doesn't matter because she puts so much of herself into and is so personal in her performances, she just really shines doing the live shows. No One can outshine her here. It doesn't seem like a job or chore she seems to really enjoy what she does and we definitely enjoy it too.
