Some people are just so huge at what they do that they not only do extremely well in their field, they make everyone else doing the similar thing - even experts - seem like amateurs by comparison. Just like Michael Jordan do extremely well in the field of basketball, just like Denzel Washington is one of America’s greatest actors, just like Maya Angelou is an incredible poet, Alicia Keys is tops at what she does. And most other singers, even those who are above average, pale in comparison. Evidence of this is inherent throughout Alicia’s third studio album, As I Am, which is probably the most powerful R&B release of 2007.

In every note she sings in her songs and in every note she plays on her piano, you can feel Alicia Keys. She sings with a purity and conviction that others can only dream about. Exhibit A: the album’s first single, the surprise radio hit “No One.”

To quote Uma:
“I think a lot of our lives we spend moving forward, leaping from rock to rock, trying to figure it out. But it’s wonderful to feel in the prime of your life. I feel like I’m in the right place and in the right time with myself. (In Style - February 2006 - “Uma In Full Swing” by Joanne Kaufman)
