Alicia Keys - A Place Of My Own (Live At iHeartRadio 2011)

[VocalEyez]

Funny thing is that Mary J. Blige recieved the same criticisms for her voice and singing from the soul, and they both are winning grammys and trailblazing nonstop. People are gonna talk weather u do bad or good they will ALWAYS CREATE a reason to hate.

[BeautifullyCreated07]

I lLOVE this song. On a side note, I'm a huge fan of A. Keys. Have all her albums, know 98% of her music, most visible artist in my music library etc. I have to say that I wish she'd do better on her live vocals. She's always hoarse, flat/sharp and the like. Unfortunately, it's to the point where if she does an outstanding live vocal performance, it suprises me...

[ThePianoguy89]

@BeautifullyCreated07 She had great live vocal performances before, especially in her younger years. Her voice changed overtime, especially since it darkened, it caused her strain more. That's really what I love about her voice to be honest. Her voice is still beautiful though.

[inasexymood]

@ThePianoguy89 her voice definitely shows wear and tear. lately, she's been very on or very off. when she forces it out and it has that raw rough edge to her voice... it sounds good, but when she tries subtle, it's not 'on' like it used to be.

[ThePianoguy89]

@inasexymood I really love her voice for that. I love the raspiness and roughness of her voice. Her voice can be sweet and gentle, but she lost the power from the voice that she used to have. She may need to retrain her voice to where it was in her debut era, but she still has a beautiful tone/timbre. She can get away with being off because of her tone. She definitely uses her voice better than Christina Aguilera, that's for sure. Christina's technique is very deficient.

[inasexymood]

@ThePianoguy89 ugh, let's not with christina... her technique has been killing her voice for years.

songs in a minor were the chipmunk days, her voice matured and got deeper on diary, as i am definitely showed that she had some vocal training, even tho no one etc weren't doing her voice any good... this era, when alicia tries subtle, she sounds very thin. it's really a shame. but when she keeps it at a comfortable to loud range/volume, her tone is really nice.

[ThePianoguy89]

@inasexymood In Songs In A-minor her voice was very light not really chipmunkilike to me. She had a very bright quality to her voice during that era and she demonstrated more resonance during that era. Just because her voice was light doesn't mean it wasn't powerful because she resonated a lot during that time and power comes from resonance. I liked the deep tone that she had during T.D.O.A.K. and As I Am. She doesn't sound thin when sings softly, only when she belts above D5. She's a contralto.

[anitabreakone]

@BeautifullyCreated07 I love her voice just the way it is and she always sounds great to me.  Whatever differences she makes in each performance just makes it more special. I respect the fact that she doesn't lipsync and is always so passionate and real with her music.
