A friend from Austin came down to SA for the Missy Elliot and Alicia Keys show last Wednesday. Beyonce closed the show but Alicia wore us out and we’d had enough, so we split after Alicia finished her set. Missy was a total let down. We couldn’t hear a word she said, the bass was insanely loud, and the stage was overrun by dancers to such a degree that we lost track of where Missy was. And she changed outfits after every song, which made it even harder to figure out who was who.
Alicia, on the other hand, was phenomenal. I’m now an Alicia convert (and just ordered two of her cds). I knew she was talented but I didn’t know she was that talented. She danced, she played piano, and she sang like next month’s rent depended on it. Her voice has that thick and soulful tone that commands your attention and screams, “shuttup and listen ‘cause I’ve got something to say – and it sounds good.” She belted out her style of vocals for about an hour, which was a lot considering she wasn’t even the headliner. I really enjoyed her set and it appeared that she felt comfortable and very much in her element when on stage.
Oh, and one more thing (warning, this is of the TMI variety)… she also happens to be a gorgeous knockout and I want to have her children. Or something.

dang, that's what i call old school. 3 hours is quite a lot of time to skank. i was never really into them though, is it straight ska or a ska-punk mix?

I had a feeling Missy Elliot wouldn't be as good. Hehehe.. "flip it and reverse it - flemaguh-regueja-murgun-nenyeah..." That song bugs me. Alicia Keys is pretty talented. And you have 100% agreement on the hottiness. She is a looker. I went to see Fishbone last night. Those guys can put on a live show. Crazy nutso on stage with non-stop skankin' for 3 hours. Brought back some high school memories.

your site looks funny - everything is all aligned. except for your footer - that's still old school.

unnecessary apostrophe alert - two of her cd’s - is the apostrophe in that phrase like a p-man ear ring - just for decoration? check out the site hidden in my "web" link below. Yes - THIS ONE will actually fo somewhere.
