Being that 2011 marks the 10th anniversary of Ms. Key's debut Songs In A Minor (wow time really is flying:), I thought I'd post a few of my favorite Alicia songs/performances/moments. Long before everyone bowed at the altar of Lord Gaga for playing piano, Alicia was tickling the ivories on such R&B classics like "You Don't Know My Name," "Diary" and "If I Ain't Got You." While she may not be the freakiest (the aforementioned Gaga, Rihanna) or the most glamorous (Her Creole Majesty, a.k.a Beyonce, takes that crown for this generation), she's definitely the most consistent--four albums in 10 years, each delivering a string of hit singles. So let's take a stroll down memory lane shall we? Get into the clips below.
