did anyone else notice how alicia keys' voice derailed every 2nd or 3rd attempt at a high note? and while i'm bringing up a topic like this, what is the deal with "now you're in new york" song? it does not work unless you are actually singing in new york.

oh, the irony ... :wakeup

I was too busy checking out her ass to notice any problems with high pitch inadequacies.

she's known for going flat(being just below the correct note) pretty often singing live. I'll take that over lip syncing :toast

BULLSHIT...........I heard her live at the AT&T center and she didnt miss a fuckin note. I would say either her throat was bothering her from singing every single damn night, or she has a sore throat from a cold. Usually she is dead nuts on with her notes. So stop hatin. :toast

Alicia Keys sounded pretty bad and her singing style is about as repetitive as the peanut-butter-jelly-time song.

She didn't even flaunt her best ASSet since she wore some fugly thing that covered her beautiful ass :)

Singing about NYC in fucking Dallas seemed pompous and stupid; almost like taking a shit on the home crowd. Horrible choice for entertainment in the All Star game, exactly the wrong kind of music for the mood and only lowered people's excitement and energy for the event.

Maybe they should have had the WHO.

At least they got the crowd into it. The most entertaining thing about Alicia was TNT's story of setting up Ernie Johnson to meet her. Horrible choice of music and even worse execution by Miss phat ass.

Yeah. The first song at the beginning sounded good, probably syncing, but the rest after that was bad.

I never said she wasnt off key with this performance..........but alot of times when singers "sing as hard and loud as Alicia does" night in and night out, it takes its toll on your vocal chords. That being said..........The WHO sucked major ass...........they were entertaining all right. Everyone laughing their asses off at ol dude on the guitar air whirlwind strumming.........missing the strings entirely and his gut floppin out. :lmao

not hating, im a big fan...

im glad you got to see a concert of hers where she rocked it. id love to see her live.

This has nothing to do with BBall. But yes, Keys is big time overrated as an artist and her voice is often out of tune. Also, her "piano playing" is pretty amateurish for a professional musician. If she didn't look like she does, no one would care.

Not hating, just the truth.

The Who sucked and nearly fell apart several times.

Haha, at least the crowd got into it and sang along with the old geezers. Since Keys had none of that she must've sucked even worse ass and unlike The Who she doesn't have old age as an excuse for her underwhelming performance.

Everyone would be "laughing their asses off" at Alicia's butt curtain and her coarse vocals if she was the superbowl entertainment :lmao

She doesn't have the greatest voice in the world but I'm still a big fan. She's one of the few modern mainstream acts whose talent is their own and not the product of deceptive engineering.

Its all good...............music taste is like religion and politics..........everyone has their own tastes. All I know is that I heard her LIVE.........with only her singing with a piano, no other vocals or instruments.......and she made chills run up my spine. :hat

Thank you. As a musician myself, I'm glad some people care.

You would be surprised how many people do. I cant stand the lack of talent out there now adays. What happened to people that can actually play an instrument and sing?....... I mean really sing? The proof to me, is if you can sing acappella. Being an entertainer, is NOT the same as being a musician or singer. Props out to you for keeping real artists alive. :toast

I cant really tell if a singer is barely missing a note. As long as it doesnt sound like a lame American Idol contestant, I cant really tell. So Alicia sang good to me, I just thought her lyrics were stupid as hell. "WELCOME TO ALL STAAAAAAAAAAAAARR"
