...and looks like the other one samples "Bonita Applebum". "She Really Doesn't Care", have you heard it? She has performed it a few times. Just listened on YouTube. Sounds good.

She Don't Really Care is classic Alicia. Hip-Hop beat + Jazz/Soul piano chords. If Roy Ayers plays on this track I guess we are going to hear his vibraphone.

He was playing the vibraphone but there were also wind instruments so he will probably be featured on another song. oh btw This is going to be her first album with Parental Advisory. (She's at #1 on Pre-Orders now)

I'm absolutely digging this album cover, but this song on the other hand it's just harmless. nothing special.

I went. It was great. I loved that she brought out so many guests.
I enjoyed "She Don't Really Care", "Blended Family" and "In Common" a lot. She honestly didn't sing "In Common"; however, I didn't mind it. I was hoping she would bring out ASAP Rocky for "Family", but she sounded good. Also the version she played should have been the official version. It had more edge than the release version. "Holy War" was good too. I love the chorus more so than verses. "One Love" had Nas, once again I loved the chorus and ad libs on it. It got a little boring or she was singing on another key; however, I think it would be great in studio version.
I could honestly do without "No One", "Fallin" and "YDKMN" being performed. John Mayer was a little off key on "If I Ain't Got You"; however, Alicia was a little off on "Gravity" lol. I would have loved a "Lesson Learned" performance.
"Gospel" was great too. "28K" sounds good live, but I hope it is not on the album. Thanks God for no "Girl on Fire".
She talked a bit and I enjoyed that. She clearly has one message right now which is cute. Her Trump segment was funny and I'm glad her stance is clear.
Overall, it was great. Now the standing, ugh. I'm too old for that.

I'm too old for that. I saw a video of One Love and it definitely samples One Love by Nas LOL. I'm wondering if he will be on the studio version too. I heard Holy War but I didn't love it. I hope the studio version is better. So far I'm loving all the songs with Hip-Hop influence. I really hope 80% of the new album has that vibe. I read she sang We Are Here Is it true? I don't want it on the album. And I don't want 28000Days too LOL. But...since they aren't on the iTunes previews maybe it's a good sign.

It was cute. Again, she excels on the chorus of "Holy War", but the verses are too much of words here and there. The message is good though. I see it as a closing track for the album.

Wait. Did she or didn't she sing In Common. It's somewhat unclear from your post.
I am SHAKING AND CRYING that I wasn't there to hear Alicia do Gravity live though. UGH. My #1 JM song. I've only heard 28k Days in that commercial and I like that raucous, Swizz Beats production.

I am so tired of live versions coming harder than studio versions. It makes the studio versions such a letdown.
e.g. "Thick of It," this, "Parking Lot" by Nelly Furtado, "It's My House" - Diana Ross

Summer is seen. I'm glad she is doing another season. She is great on there. I wish Blake and Adam would go though. They are phone in judges now. Need new faces. Also, Alicia's people are the only ones I have loved performances from. She is really good at getting the best out of her singers.

Summer...when her kids don't have school (she said it if I'm not wrong)

The Voice might be one her most easiest paycheck because the show is basically filmed in two days until the live shows. It is like no effort and even with the live episodes, it is only two days week. Hell, I would even love this job. I understand why Blake and Adam have not left. It also been very great for those two (album sales) so hopefully it follows suit for Alicia and Miley. Miley still have great popularity and this would be a great opportunity for Alicia to continue with great success if it is properly executed (with great music and right visibility).

As a side note, so far all the female judges flopped after participating the show.

I didn't know how The Voice works. Thanks. And yeah it's a good job. Getting a lot of money to push a button and do some advices LOL. Btw good to see Gwen coming back to the show. I prefer her to Miley.

Lotus sold 75k on its first week while Girl On Fire sold 160k and has sold 1,100,000 copies to date in US (I don't know about Lotus). Btw Alicia album is coming in two weeks so we will see how The Voice promo works for her soon.

But so far I have seen the Blind Auditions of this new season and Miley ain't bad. Not a fan of her as an artist tho.

GOF sold 1.1 million in the US? Huh? And yeah, it opened with 160,000, but that was also over a 60% drop from her last album. And she's probably going to have an even bigger drop this go round. I mean, let's be honest, Alicia could be homeless on the street tapping on a casio keyboard and still be in a better place than Aguilera. But let's not pretend she doesn't have a flop era coming up.

Let's not even compare Alicia Keys and Christina Aguilera with that weak ass shade. Neither one is crossing 100k and HERE will be lucky to even come close to Lotus first week sales. Right now she'd be lucky to top Solange's last album so the hyperbole is unnecessary and definitely out of touch.

Hmmmmmmmmm.... as Khia would say, something in the milk ain't clean.
