I can't stop listening to this. I love it! WELCOME BACK Alicia!
Those synth type accents during the chorus are HOT!

I love the melody of the song and all, but I think I'd like it so much better if Akon was singing it. This just doesn't... feel right coming from the soulful Alicia Keys.

This gets better with a few more listens. It's definitely catchy.

This actually sounds like a sh*tty version of Where is the Love?

The vocals aren't the greatest and the production could be improved, but I like this a lot. It's really catchy.

Wow this does sound a lot like "Where Is The Love." I definitely like it a lot more after listening to it more.

Akon would suck singing this. I don't get that comparison at all. How could his flat one-note non-emotive voice pull this off?!?

I like this a lot, vocal problems aside. I don't get the Akon comparisons at all.

When I said it sounds like an Akon song, I meant as far as the lyrics and production of the song were concerned.

I think production sounds more vintage and soulful than Akon's formulaic hip-pop to me. I can see it lyrically though I guess.

I can hear Akon in the chord progression.

I don't hear "Where Is The Love?" at all. I also hated that song and I love "No One" so personally,I don't think they could be all that similar at all.
I still think her vocals on this blow most current female R&B singers out of the water. They're not as strong as on "If I Ain't Got You" or "Fallin" but are they horrible? Come on. Save that word for Ashanti and Ciara.

I don't hear "Where Is The Love?" at all This is fairly solid. I give it a B. I could see it growing on me exponentially though. I still like a few of her singles way more than this. |

Wow I think this is great. Her vocals sound a little different but it didn't affect the song. Can't wait to hear more!

It's not one of my favorites from her but I like it, the bridge is nice. I also think it sounds like "Where's The Love", especially the melody. Maybe she was still in the Live Earth mood when she recorded it.

Come on. i am not comparing her to othe rnb singers...it's obvious her voice is better than theirs but i think she sounds pretty bad for being an alicia song. |
