First, I would just like to say I bought the CD and I love, love it, love it!
Ok, I would also like to comment about this.

I read someone said that white people are diggin her too. Do you think it's more because of her talent or it has something to do with that she's light skinned and pretty? Yeah Erykah is a bit earthy now and Jill Scott is just plain the bomb, but do they fit into white society's perception of beauty? The same could be argued for Beyonce.

International, specifically in London, Alicia Keyes gets no luv at all. Skin tone has nothing to do with it. It has everything to do with her style of music. The white people over there, or Britains, don't like her because she is not pop. They love pop music. They love them some Destiny's Child, Craig David(only because he is from London), etc. They consider these artist pop.
Alicia had a concert over there a couple of weeks ago. There was no line to wait in. No red carpet treatment. Tickets were dirt cheap. She got no luv at all. But the few fans that were there enjoyed her music and her down to earth personality.
