I´ve always found these type of posts absurd. Alicia Keys has an amazing career and writes classic after classic. For her to have such a success satying R&B the whole time is one of the biggest achievements in music since 2000 or so. About her sound: she has been changing it already, especially in her last two albums, so don´t know what you´re talking about either. Seriously, she doesn´t need advice from us or TGJ. Her sales are fine. Albums sell less and less. And artists who have been for more than 10 years on top, it´s impossible to not decline in sales.
