For some reason the way she sings it reminds me of MDB (Not that I mind, just sayin').
I won't judge until I hear the whole thing.

The melody reminds me of Sugababes "Ugly" for some reason. I'm excited though - it really sounds great! Alicia never disappoints.

I love hearing real instruments and not those laptop beats. I'm feeling her voice on this.

This sounds like a hybrid of No One and If I Ain't Got You to me, though nowhere near as good as either, imo. I'm sure it will still be big, but I'm a bit disappointed.

Nice song. It's miles better than No One based on vocals alone.
And instrumentally it reminds me of Take A bow by Rihanna (just a bit).

Hmm.. Not too bad..
It definitely has a "No One" ring to it, but it's not near that level of awesome.

This really is a new version of No One's melody with altered lyrics from If I Ain't Got You. I'm letdown that she would recycle material like that. It is decent, but I expected her to come up with something fresh.

I love the feel of this song. This song reminds me more of "Sweet Music" (one of hers that most are not familar with) than "No One".

I'm not feeling it at all. There's no punch, I keep waiting for the song to really get started. Seems lazy all round (vocals, lyrics & production). I'm actually shocked they'd release this at all, let alone as a lead single.

I'm not feeling the song a lot either. This is nice but I expected much more from her. They played it safe. The verses are cute but the rest bore me.

I wish she could evolve some as an artist. She's had the same sound since she came out, at least to my ear. Maybe if I liked that sound a little more I wouldn't mind as much.
I feel like this will be a giant smash, though not as big as No One.

I'm a bit disappointed that it's a blatant rehash of her previous work. What I loved so much about "No One" was how fresh it was especially for her. That said, I do like this a lot. It's a really well-written, well-sung, well-produced song.

Hmm, kind of boring. But I feel that way about her 1st & 3rd albums' singles. I love Diary of Alicia Keys' singles though.

I feel like this will be a giant smash, though not as big as No One. See and I think her music has always sounded very diverse, which is why the rehashing used in this song surprises me.

I love her voice, but this isn't as catchy or automatic as her other stuff. I will have to let it sit for awhile longer.

Her singles for the most part are so similar sounding.
Has this girl ever pushed any boundary AT ALL? :/
