it's not about the hair or the skintone, it's about the music, India Irie simply has so many deep amazing songs that we can relate too. Feel good music that heals the listener.
to be honest i dont think the alicia winning all those grammys has as much to do with looks or even talent as the fact that shes a mainstream artist. when alicia has a new cd you always hear some of the tracks on the radio, i hardly ever indias stuff on there. you hear beyonce on there but never jill scott or floetry, im not knockin nobody im just saying the radio plays what the masses catch on to it dosent always mean its the best out there... but i do actually like them both
I have to say that I think its rather sad that the bulk of comments on here are focused on something so shallow as looks and worse skin tone!! SHAME! And to say that 'whites' all i can do is shake my head. India is a true beauty, transcending race/skin color...she speaks wisdom to all of us! She is love and light and the beauty that unites humanity, in song form. So beyond all that...
This is where I am right now..Headed In the Right Direction! My intuition say "You are Okay! "You ar protected". "YOU ARE A MASTERPIECE! I love me some me! I got my pearl of wisdome like India says. You go India for speaking truth, love n soul!
Finally the type of artist that the world needs! An artist with sofistication and yet with a simple way to put a great message into lyrics. She just composes like an enlighten person, which I have not doubt that she is. Thank India, you are headed in the right direction;)))
- correction, lol. india arie is a true beauty, ppl think alicia keys is prettier because she had liqht skin and lonq hair that means NOTHING. india arie is a chocolate qorqeous beautiful sista. && also alicia keys is a wonderful pianist vocal wise she cant touch india. sorry, alicia keys doesnt sinq properly her technique is horrible she uses her chest voice thats why her voice sounds even worse now. india is the best. lol. sorry.
ummm...i can't believe u people even considering comparing alicia keys and indi arie!!!! totaly different genres, and not only that alicia keys is main stream/commercialised...where as india arie is a talented earthy lyricist who sings from her soul!!!!
plus india and alicia came out about the same time but not sayin alicia keys is not talented I love alicia keys but i think she became a lot more popular and successful than India becuz shes prettier...but i love them both just wish India would get more credit for her music because shes so talented and she can play mad instruments also.
I definently agree with that...i acutally like India why more...what i should have said is Alicia Keys is the stereotypical western eureopeanized definition of beauty with light skin and long wavey hair and India cant be put in that box she has her own unqiue look and style an afrocentric sexyness and realness about her.
yeah alicia (whom I like as well) like halle fits into that mold that white people like. Whoopi, tracy chapman & India rock, but they don't fit the mold so...but they are very successful in their own right doing what they love you know!
You know I appreciate what I THINK you're trying to say, but honestly to ME? ALICIA KEYS IS NOT PRETTIER than INDIA ARIE? India a a beautiful Black Goddess! Shyyddd the Only thing Alicia could do for me is tell me WHERE INDIA IS. Ashe.
Come to my channel, im thinking about singing india's songs....shes one of my favorite singers!!!! I look up to her in so many way...gosh!!!! so good such a good woman and great musician, the music industry needs more of the postivity that she brings!!
alicia keys gets much respect and she is well known i think what workamazing is sayin is she doesnt get the credit or the respect that alicia keys gets though they both are real women...and very talented i think so to.. India is just as talented and creative as alicia but is relatively unknown.
I just discovered India Arie a few weeks ago and I love both her talent and messages. She is the real deal when it comes to being an artist. Bravo, India! Bravo!
