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.”

Yup, she’s the 2 Fast 2 Furious gal, alright. At the age of 14, she juggled modeling and school, thus at a young age, she has a list of high-profile designers on her resume like Chanel, Thierry Mugler, Balenciaga, Fendi, Jean Paul Gaultier, and Givenchy. But it’s no wonder that looks like a goddess: her father is the Japanese Olympic wrestler and Benihana steakhouse magnate Rocky Aoki. Her mother is an Anglo-Bavarian jewelry designer Pamela Hilburger. With such a mix of genes, her uniqueness as a model made her stand out. And not only that; she’s an actress too and we have seen her in several movies such as Dead or Alive, D.E.B.S, Sin City and the movie 2 Fast 2 Furious. And it’s sure that there’s no stopping this girl: she’s having plans for an album, joined L.A.’s ICM and The Firm, and launching her own clothing line.
