Alicia Keys was raised to speak proper English and when she became "a star" she immediately began to speak with a pseudo-black accent which she has worked on for a couple years now. Stunning.

And she just butchered the 30s classic "For All We Know" (J.Fred Coots/Sam Lewis.) I wish these kids would give a listen to Ella or Frank or someone and learn how to sing.

Well, at least she did try to do a classic, instead of this self-penned crap by the singer-songwriters that comprise albums now so they can cash in on the songwriter mechanical royalties.

I'd rather she leave the classics alone and butcher some "original" puke hip-slop. Maybe someone will get exposed to the original and see what real music is.
