Throughout her career, Alicia Keys made better music than Beyonce...

[Giselle]

.Beyonce has a better voice than AK, but there is nothing really special about her voice. Her voice sounds like most other people who have had successful voice lessons. Both of them yell and screech sometimes.

Alicia Keys is in another league

Ain't listened to Beyonce since i was a teenager

 

[Mike Otherz]

wow, judging by this thread, its like alicia wins by about 9 to 1. aint that about a bish.

 

[Mike Otherz]

for the record, as far as quality, Beyonce last album was top 5 in village voice pazz and jop poll. that weher the nationsmusic critics vote on the years best music. alicia never even made top 15 ever so as far as critical acclaim, Bey>>>>>>>>>>>.

Alicia was shytting on Beyonce in the early mid 00's, like seriously.

Beyonce has only rejuvanated herself in her last two albums, but talent wise even though she can dance and has a better voice, she just doesn't have the ability to create songs like Alicia does.

Alicia wouldn't look out of place in any generation of black music, i still haven't heard a song from Beyonce as good as 'Diary', i think when it comes down to it, Alicia just has a better penchant for soulful black music, Beyonce still gives off a manafactured feel at times.

But Beyonce can dance and perform though....that's what matters

So we just gonna act like Alicia Keys piano playing isn't horribly amateurish at best?

I hate her gimmick ass, and she can't sing for shyt too.

Alicias first album won like 6 grammies.

Beyonce doesn't have an album as critically acclaimed as 'Songs In A MInor'

Dapped for posting my favorite Alicia Keys song , but 1 star, possible neg rep pending for the Beyonce slander

 

[Jone2three45]

This shyt takes me back to fall 2003

 

[tremonthustler1]

AK >>> Beyonce, but AK is wildly overrated. Critics talk about her like she's Stevie Wonder and shyt

 

[Jone2three45]

I only have two AK songs in my iPod, I have nothing from Beyoncé.

AK music from 2001-2004>>>>>anything from Beyoncé.

They both are overrated though.

I knew AK whole I'm a braided up neo soul artist steeze was a lie from the jump.

Hell...most of the women who did neo soul in the late 90's to mid 00's
have now threw away their Afros and braids for perms and weaves...like Badu and Jill Scott.

 

[Dafunkdoc_Unlimited]

Said it once and I'll say it again: Alicia Keys is a wannabe low-grade Patrice Rushen knock-off.

Only reason Bey stands-out to most people is because Janet Jackson went in a different direction.......

They both suck dikk both literally and figuratively.

 

[Dada]

I'd like to register that I disagree.
