I remember when I heard this in the background of taking the stage, I never knew it before so I'm glad I discovered it then. This is my FAVOUURITE song of hers☺
I got some long tracks of tears and it's okay. This ish....it hurts, but where else do we go from here but on our own way? We didn't protect & cherish what once was beautiful....
Proverbs 13:3 He who guards his lips guards his life, but he who speaks rashly will come to ruin.
it's like we watched her transition from a young girl to a young woman i remember watching her when i was younger and she used to dress kind of tom boyish now she dresses like a girley girl
Just posted my cover of Unthinkable. Let me know what you think. Here are some of my other Alicia covers that I did: Tell you something, How come you don't call me, Go ahead, If I aint got you, No one, Doesn't mean anything, Try sleeping with a broken heart, Put it in a love song, Superwoman. :)

God, this song is so damn powerful. From the music to her voice everything about is just strong. I don't wanna sound like my grandma or anything but 'Sing it, girl!'. Lol.
You can feel her heart and soul completely breaking in this song. I can tell because everytime I listen to this, my heart and soul breaks and my eyes tear up. Miss Alicia, you are one soulful woman. Songs like this is what we need today. Absolutely amazing.
Love her voice in this song. BTW, Alicia IS still the same person, YOU just choose to look at her differently even though you don't even know what's really true. I think I'll just judge the music. I thank Ms Keys for sharing her heart and soul in every song she sings. Her talent is truly a gift from God.
@anitabreakone i never understood why ppl feel the need to stick their noses into celebrities' business and be judgemental. i've always been a big fan of alicia because of her music, and thats it. i could care less what she or any other star does in their personal time, because im busy living my life to the fullest. maybe others should do the same.
i agree with that i think she became a homewrecker... but i believe in the ole folk saying that if you cant get a man or a woman the right way it wont last... cheaters never win...
This song is a rip off from "After Laughter" you critics that don't know what you talking about, know your music before you share your ideas or opinions. Alicia, your amazing but stick to your own songs. You are good enough to do that.
@italgtp forced to disagree with with you on this one. Not really a fan of A.K.'s but having listened to this and Wendy Rene repeatedly can safely say that they are 2 completely different songs
Maybe u wont go... maybe u'll stay!!! I love it! She's an amazing singer... I love this song so much... I get sad when I listen to it..... But luv the song :)
I swear I came up with the crzist video idea for this video, it's like a combination of Mr and Mrs. Smith & shizz, I wish I could share it with you guys
ALicia a THROW BACK artist. Her music is on par with the music of the 60's and 70'd. Awesome voice, exquisite, poignant lyrics and topics most can relate, her heart is in her music, one can hear the sincerity in her voice. Great song structure and chorus that are easy to remember, great beat. ALL of the elements needed for superb music. ALicia youre awesome
once again the majestic music from alicia key my FAVORITE female artists and one of the sexiest women on this planet. Not only is she FINE as hell, but her music is on par with her looks. Something we cant say about most artists. Her talent matches her strikingly pretty face and thick, fine ass body. lol.
im not sure if anyone else was wondering the 2nd sample in this song, i know the 1st one is from "after laughter" by wendy rene thanks to xlmidi...the 2nd part was on the tip of my tongue & i just figured it out...its from "tamika" by immature!
does somebody know what's the beginning? i know that song contains Wendy Rene's song, but the beginning is something else, if somebody knows something about the beginning please write me message, i love this part, i wish i could fine whole song, thank you
Finally i found this thing called a masterpiece!!! Hear this at work daily and it's her vocals that have caught me and won't let me go! corny but fackin true. Blessed from the UK
that must mean you've sold as many albums as alicia keys and must be twice as successful. i have heard and listened to alicia keys, but i can't say i've ever heard any of your work. plz, send me a copy of your work as i'm curious to hear it...
She sampled "After Tears, comes laughter" by Wendy Renee.
Alicia sings her song, and Wendy sings her song almost exactly the same. Not the same beat or lyrics, but the way the way the sing their songs is almost identical.
I remember when I heard this in the background of taking the stage, I never knew it before so I'm glad I discovered it then. This is my FAVOUURITE song of hers☺
