February 10, 2008 Grammy Performances: Alicia Keys and Feist

Alicia Keys and John Mayer ripped this performance of “No One”. I have heard her perform this song countless times, but tonight it had a brand new energy.

I have a special place in my heart for Feist. Even though the performance wasn’t particular high energy, I think it matched her personality well.

Grammy Performances: Alicia Keys and Carrie Underwood

Alicia Keys Performed a virtual duet with a hologram of Frank Sinatra. She sounded wonderful but it wasn’t really my thing.

Carrie Underwood performed with what looked like the cast of “Stomp”. She got a little Christina Aguilera towards the end!

Alicia Keys was in a cobalt blue Armani gown. I know the hair may be a little controversial. I heard people on TV saying it looked like a rooster but I kinda like it. I think it looked much better on television than it does in these still pictures. Call me crazy but it works for me…Cock-a-doodle-doo!

Ashanti – Love the dress but when I first saw this picture I thought she had left her curlers in. Is it just me or is she starting to look like Janet Jackson?

January 19, 2008 Alicia Keys: Stripped, Raw, and Real

I know it’s a lot of music post right now but what can I say, I’m in a musical mood. Anyway, A couple of months ago, Alicia Keys did a show for Clear Channel Entertainment called “Stripped, Raw and Real” where she performed 6 songs in promotion of her new album. I got my hands on the mp3s from that show and they were really good quality so I thought I’d share. My favorite song of the night was her rendition “Tender Love” (A cover of the Force MD’s classic for all my 80s music fans out there). She had me worried with her cover of The Fray’s “How To Save A Life” but Ms. Keys has totally redeemed herself with this one. Her version is just amazing.

Alicia Keys – Stripped, Raw, and Real (All 6 Songs)

One-hit wonder Uncle Sam also did a version of Tender Love that I used to have on repeat while in boarding school. Ahhh the memories. If you don’t remember who Uncle Sam is, he’s the guy who sang “I Don’t Ever Want To See You Again”.

Uncle Sam – Tender Love (Cover)

And we must never forget the original song sung by Force MD’s and written by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. The video looks corny now but trust me, it’s a classic. Where are all my 80’s fans?
