This is the problem with music as late. The new generation...specifically speaking "gays" focus way too much on image,rather than the actual product. Alicia keys was fine the way she was. Now I'm all for the evolution of the artist. I however have come to question the authenticity of this whole image change. She is not going to gain any new audience she already has one. I wonder has she even considered the thought that she might be alienating them just for promo buzz? Give me a ganky white soultress with voice or a 250 lbs fat black woman who can wail into the heavens hit your soul and your ancestor's over an artist driven by the way someone perceives them by looks. Sad days we live in when most of hot 100 can't sing a note anymore. Nonetheless I'll be watching Alicia always has at least one gem every album.
