Video: Alicia Keys-Unthinkable(I'm Ready)

The Best Album of 2008 was..........

Mary J. Blige - Growing Pains

The time frame I used to distinguish this was from November 2007 - November 2008. I hate when someone just release a album, and it's titled album of the year, and it has not even been out long enough to get that title lol. My opinion is based on albums that were release, and out for a good amount of time.

I think this one of Mary's best albums ever! This CD is just phenomenal to me man. She killed every song. And it's one of those albums that you can just play, and listen to every song without skipping through the CD. With this CD you get to experience a much more mature & happy Mary. Alot of people say, "I like the Old Mary. The My Life Mary." But you know what I love this Mary. Yes "My Life" was the CD. But when you listen to that CD, then listen to this one, you can definitely appreciate this album so much more. All the real Mary fans that has grown with her, understands this album, and how important it is for her to be where she is with this album right now. This was the best album of 2008. And I can't wait for Ms. Mary J. Blige to release another album. It's like she's a brand new artist on the scene just doing her thing. There is really no competition when it comes to her! There is no one that started in the game when she did, that's still killing it like she does now.

Runner up albums:

Alicia Keys - As I Am

Who don't love Alicia Keys? LOL... This CD was like a healing tool for me around the time it came out. It is a great CD. I don't think it's her best CD, but it's definitely a good one. I remember when I used to put this CD on my Ipod, and just jog around the track. Alicia voice was like cough syrup to a cold in my ears lol.

Leona Lewis - Spirit

This damn girl can sang!!!! I love this CD. I tell you this, she was the best New Artist of 2008. Her CD takes me back to the days when singers like Mariah Carey & Whitney Houston actually put out albums where they sing songs without all the hip hop influenced sounds or beats. This was a perfect Cd, and I wore these songs out on this album through out my blog postings this year lol.

Duffy - Rockferry

OMG. My boy Darrick put me on about this girl, and I got into her CD, and it blew me away. Her voice is so tantalizing. It makes you want more, and more of her. Her album is a must have.

Carrie Underwood - Carnival Ride

The queen of sales when it comes to American Idol. This girl kills it in the country world. Her album is like a breath of fresh air when I listen to it. Love the stories country music tells. And she sings them exceptionally.

Jennifer Hudson - Jennifer Hudson

O my baby finally got her album out towards the end of the summer, and I was so excited and glad she did. This album gave people mixed reviews, based on what people where expecting from the big voice diva, but once you got passed that, you realise this CD is a really great album. I love the album. Too bad her promotion for it came to a end due to the tragedies that occurred in her family this pass holiday season. But I hear she's back to work, and ready to get it cracking again. I love me some Jennifer. I wish her the best, and I'm glad she's pulling through the best way she can.

So what were some of your favorite albums in 2008?

And you guys better believe that my two girls will be on my list next year (Brandy & Beyonce`) lol... I feel their albums were just released less than 2 months ago, so I won't count them this time lol. ;)

In Cased You Missed It: The BET Awards Highlight Performaces (Well The Ones I Enjoyed)

I'm not really into award shows like I used to be. They are not as entertaining anymore, but I did catch some of the BET Awards last night, and here are some of the highlights (performances) I liked from the show:


Alicia Keys - Teenage Love Affair // Weak // Hold On//Waterfalls (w/ SWV, EnVogue & TLC)

I love Alicia for this! She, 1st of all looked great. Her performance was hot, and to bring out all those old hot groups was phenomenal.

Chris Brown - With You / Take You Down

The only reason I really enjoyed this performance was because Ciara came out and danced her a** off with Chris. They both killed it. Did anyone catch it when they put the camera right on Rihanna's face when Ciara freaked Chris lol.

Rihanna - Take A Bow

I think Rihanna did a great job with this performance. She looked GOOD!!!!! Loving that cut!

What did you think of the show last night and what was your highlights of the show?

Alicia Keys......

.........attends the "We Are Together" premiere at the Director's Guild of America in New York on June 12.

A fashion hit or miss?

I think she looks beautiful. Not really crazy about the dress, but her makeup looks great, and I like her hair pulled back like it is. So used to seeing her hair down or in curls.

Alicia Keys As I Am Tour

On Friday me and my best friend went to go see Alicia Keys in concert, and it was hot! Alicia Keys is one of those artist that you can't help but love to watch on stage. This woman is going to truly be a legend in the future mark my words. She did and excellent show. She loves her piano ;)!!!! This is my 3rd time seeing her, and I have to say I didn't expect anything but greatness from her, and that's what I got. I had great seats great company, and a pretzel, so I was all good lol. She is so beautiful!! I wanna see her again. She was her in Baltimore last night but we saw her Friday in DC @ the Verizon Center. Along with her was Jordin Sparks, who I truly believe can sing. I don't know maybe it's because of her age, but something about her throws me off at times. She did good, but it not something I would get excited about. Maybe her next album will have more "No Air" type of songs on it, because trust me that song is what saved her album believe that! I like "Tattoo" too, but there aren't to many likeable songs on her album in my opinion. Also, Ne-Yo was there. Now I have to say this boy surprised the hell out of me. Even though he imitated Michale Jackson alot, his show was hot! He dance (and his background dancers was the s**t lol, those girls were working it) his butt off. He's not someone I ever thought I would enjoy @ a concert, but I really did. He blew me away to be honest. So good for Ne-Yo.

A hot show y'all. If you haven't caught it yet, make sure you do!!!!!!!

Video: Alicia Keys - Teenage Love Affair

Teenage Love Affair




Ok after getting cursed out by one of my myspace buddies for not posting or seeing this video yet ;) (I just been busy and dealing with some stuff) I decided I watch this video and I must say it's hot! I love everything about this video. Alicia Keys is so damn beautiful. I like how the video pays homage 2 School Daze as well. Thanks Soda for making me realize I needed to get up on my game and watch this video lol ;)

Alicia Keys cancel A few Shows Due to a Vocal Problem

OMG!!!!!! The other day I posted a blog about Jordin Sparks not being able to attend the show as Alicia Keys opening act. Now I hear that Alicia Keys has canceled her second straight show in a row in Cleveland Ohio due to a vocal illness. Now I really hope she gets better. It's one thing to miss Jordin (meaning I would love to see her live again), but it's a whole different ball game when it comes to Alicia. I have to say, in the past few years that I've been going to concerts she has impressed me the most of all the people I've seen so far. Only because I didn't expect much from her being that she plays the piano and all. I've been to 2 Alicia shows so far, and this will make my 3rd. So I hope she gets better by June 13th. That's the day I hope to be sitting up in the Verizon Center Auditorium saying SING IT ALICIA LMAO!!!!!!!!! Get Well Babe! ;)

Jordin Sparks Will Open Up For Alicia Keys New Tour

Alicia Keys will be going on tour again starting April 19. The ‘As I Am’ tour will open with American Idol 2007 winner Jordin Sparks. I can't wait for this show. The last few Alicia Keys shows I've been on were the best ever. Make sure y'all get out there and get your tickets.
