The best out there

Alicia Keys is the best female artist out there today. She is pure talent. She's not like most female artists that shake their butts with little to nothing on to sell records. She doesn't try to be something she's not and she does so much to help those in need. She's so deep and everything in this book and writes about in general I think everyone can relate to. And for the record, Beyonce can't hold a match to Alicia. Alicia blows Beyonce out the water.

EXCELLENT, EMOTIONAL AND JUST PLAIN GOOD

I THOUGHT ALICIA'S BOOK WAS WONDERFUL IT DEALT WITH A LOT OF THINGS THAT I FELT THAT WE BOTH RELATED TOO. HER POEMS WERE REALITY. IT WAS EXCELLENT!!!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK ALICIA. I RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO ANYONE THAT IS NOT CLOSED MINDED AND VERY OPEN TO AN DIFFERENT SIDE TO AN ARTIST. IT WAS NICE OF HER TO LETT US IN MIND. :)

ALICIA HAS THE FLOOR

ALICIA LETS YOU INTO HER INNERMOST THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS. SHE IS SO GENUINE. TEARS FOR WATER IS ALICIA HERSELF IN BOOKFORM. I ENJOYED THE BOOK FOR MANY REASONS. I COULD DEFINITELY RELATE TO ALOT OF THE POEMS. I LOVE HOW SHE LETS YOU KNOW WHERE SHE WAS IN LIFE WHEN SHE WROTE SOME OF THE POEMS, THUS GIVING YOU A BETTER UNDERSTANDING. THIS IS A BOOK I WILL KEEP AND READ THROUGHOUT THE MANY STAGES OF MY LIFE FOR GUIDANCE.

Nice job Alicia!

This book is wonderful. It brings you inside the mind of Alicia and connects you with her thoughts. Her words are words that we all can relate to whether young or old and she expresses her feelings so clearly. I recommend this book to everyone. I know that you will enjoy it.

The Soul of Alicia Keys...

I have been looking forward to the release of this book, and I have to say that I was one of the first people in the bookstore when this book came out. It was WELL worth the wait. You can really relate to and feel all the emotion that Alicia put into her poems and lyrics. With the explainations of what she was going through at the time and the way she put her words together, you almost feel as if you are there with her. This book is worth every penny I paid for it. This book grabs you in right at the introduction. In this book, she lets you into her most personal and private thoughts & feelings. You think you know, but you have no idea... This is the real Diary of Alicia Keys. As soon as you finish reading this review, add this book to your cart, and click "buy".
