I Was Thinking About Alicia Keys


The cover of the most recent issue of Blender magazine features a big picture of Leona Lewis alongside a caption reading "Look out, Mariah." That doesn't seem the most apt comparison to me - isn't "Bleeding Love" a straight rip of "No One"?

Maybe they just felt that Alicia Keys doesn't have anything to look out for, since "No One" is so much better than "Bleeding Love."

Not sure the two songs sound in any way similar. Now if you'd suggested Better In Time Leona Lewis' second single and No One you might have had a point as I think they do bare comparison.

Might also be worth noting Leona's album was released worldwide before Alicia's ...

Really? You don't hear a similar stark organ-and-drums-based arrangement behind a throbbing voice?

Throbbing?

Yes, "throbbing."

Don't you hate it when people pick out one word out of the thousands you write and make a federal case out of it?

Federal?
