Alicia Keys, one of the most talented artists in R&B.   She Classical and Hip Hop at the same time and even makes borrowed sounds sound new and exciting! Now after her two smash multi-platinum albums Songs In A Minor and The Diary of Alicia Keys, Keys comes out with a MTV Unplugged live album featuring some old hits done in different ways, a hot new song (radio single "Unbreakable") and collaborations with different artists. It's a chance to hear Keys doing her thing with an accompanying band and you can tell she and the audience have a great time!  

Songs to look out for include "Wild Horses" featuring Adam Levine of Maroon 5, "Heartburn", "Diary" and "Love It or Leave It Alone" featuring Mos Def and Common.   Another bonus is Damien Marley's "Welcome To Jamrock" which he performs with friends to end the show.  

Not too much to say Alicia Keys, she does what she does and does so with thoughts for the future! She doesn't sacrifice her spirit for money and actually still gets paid for it (imagine that). Maybe it was the look that caught people's eyes first but now people should see talent and passion for music when they see her.

I'll give the album 4 Globes.
