Summary: not happy
Comment: This is a good cd-so good i thought to buy another one for my sister. I am unhappy about this purchase because I ordered it 2 months and have yet to receive it. I plan on contacting the seller.

Summary: Ah Alicia wonderful job!
Comment: As I Am is the long waited release from one of my favorite R&B stars.She shines brightly on this effort with all the right songs.I think this time her songs are more memorable and catchy,but not too commercial.Super woman Lesson Learned with John Mayer and an Teenage Love Affair ring nicely.If you are a new fan of Alicia Keyes you might want to get introduced to this one first.If your a long time fan like me I'll be playing this until its scratched and then buy it again....Its that good!

Comment: Alicia Keys - As I Am (J, 2007)
Judging by her track record, it's safe to say that if Alicia Keys released her voicemail greeting as a single, that too will go to #1 on the charts. That shows that she knows how to make a song and her albums are either great or pretty decent. This album, As I Am, is one of her best.
Ms. Cook always tried to channel the old-school through her songs but on this album it's more evident and feels less forced than on previous attempts. Songs like "I Need You" and "Teenage Love Affair" recall old Motown singles from the '60s and even the non-retro songs like "Superwoman" sound good. It's only when she tries to cross over that she falters: "No One" and "Sure Looks Good to Me" aren't Alicia at her best but "Lesson Learned" with John Mayer is surprisingly solid.
I find myself playing this album more than her other ones, even though she still has a few flaws (i.e., sometimes screaming instead of singing). But she isn't gonna change so we might as well just take her as she is. -EJR

Summary: Beautiful and Great Artist!
Comment: Alicia Keys is really doing her thing. On this album she has matured and experienced alot. She's one of my three best artist that I admire in R&B. And I wish her the best of LUCK on her next album.

Editorial Reviews:
|
Japanese two CD pressing of the 2007 release from the R&B/Pop diva featuring a bonus CD containing four tracks: 'Waiting For Your Love', 'Hurt So Bad', 'Superwoman' (Live) and 'No One' (Curtis Lynch Reggae Remix). As I Am is Alicia's most innovative album to date, a collection of music with no boundaries. Influenced by everything from Hip Hop to Soul to Rock to Classical music, As I Am is every bit a sense of rebellion and empowerment. Features collaborations with some of the biggest hit makers in music (Linda Perry, Jack Splash, Mark Batson, Swizz Beats and Kerry Brothers) and includes the first single 'No One.'
