Three of Alicia Keys's biggest songs, all of which placed in the Year-End Top 3 of 2001, 2004, and 2008 respectively. Which one do you like the most?

"Fallin'" is overrated to me; it's just two chords and not a great melody.
"IIAGY" sounds classic and is a better music composition, but the lyrics are fairly blah. I like it a lot, though.
"No One" is easily the winner here for me. It's her best single.

"IIAGY" sounds classic and is a better music composition, but the lyrics are fairly blah. TBH, the lyrics to all of these songs are pretty blah. Alicia Keys may be great at singing and playing music, but she's not very good at writing lyrics. She's a competent lyricist at best. |

"Fallin" hands down, then "If I Ain't Got You" for sure. Love those two.
Never really did care for "No One"

Alicia Keys vocals in No One and the awful and pounding percussion over that piano is grating. Seriously, she sounds like she has a fucking head cold in this. And is it me, or is somewhere in the chorus an animal is dying, like a squealing pig.

1. No One
2. Fallin'
3. If I Ain't Got You
I find the latter two songs really overrated.

1. Fallin
2. IIAGY
3. No One - It's good, but not as good as the other ones.

I don't like the mood of "Fallin'," I like "If I Ain't Got You," and "No One" says "no one" too many times in the chorus.

I recently rediscovered the Kanye West remix of "If I Ain't Got You," and I am obsessed with it all over again.
