This song truly is nothing special. It should do ok because of hype alone, but I can't see this going much further.

Just because she sampled some 70s song doesn't mean this is real music as someone mentioned. Unbreakable is average and it sounds exactly like Old Time's Sake because both of these songs sampled heavily but unfortunately when Alicia Keys sampled, its real music. I agree this is better then 90% of the songs on the radio but hey when you have a limited amount of competition, a song like this can surely gain attention when you are Alicia Keys. The lyrics are inspiring which is good.

I wasn't impressed when I first heard this but it's really grown on me. It's just a fun treat in between albums.

It's a very good song!
My favourite version of this sample is "Time to move on" from Sparkle.

The video is great. I like how they made the video a sentimental video scrapbook of her unplugged experience as opposed to a straight-forward live video.

I like this and I hope it gets an R & B nomination for a Grammy so A. Key's can sweep the R & B categories. This is the best R & B track out right now and I hope it is a hit.

I love this song! They use the same song as did 213 with "Another Summer". I love that too.

As far as uptempos or midtempos, I like this cut much better than Karma and the couple of similar-tempoed tracks off her debut CD. This song has a much more raw energy, it is more original and it fits into the current musical landscape well where coveres are used as an integral part of R&B songs. It almost sounds like something that Kanye would produce.

Well yeah, the song doesn't have much potential outside of Urban and Urban AC.

Kanye wrote this? No wonder the verses are so stupid.
