Hey EndRoad, I'm also not a big fan of Alicia Keyes' either. I mean, I like a couple of her songs and she seems to be okay, but I just never got into her like I did Jill. And get this, my brother gave me and my husband Alicia's CD for Christmas AND my friend invited me to her concert here in Richmond on tomorrow.
I still haven't taken the time to listen to the CD in its entirety. I don't know, maybe I'll get something special out of going to the concert. It's just all about Jill Scott for me right now. I'm really into her (and I FIRST heard Jill when she was on the CHRIS ROCK SHOW). When I heard the song that she sang on the show (GETTING IN THE WAY), I HAD to get it. I brought her CD some 3 days after that and just fell in love with EVERY song (I only brought the CD to hear that ONE song).
At any rate, I wish both Alicia and Indie.Arie much luck and success.
