If you haven't heard Alicia Keys live in concert, listen up. To celebrate the 10th anniversary of her Grammy-winning debut album, 'Songs in A Minor,' Keys brought down the house in an exclusive acoustic solo concert for AOL Music, called 'Piano & I.'See her belt out 'How Come You Don't Call Me?' in the clip below.
On a candlelit stage at the Beacon Theatre in New York City, the Givenchy-clad singer said, "The city really wrote a lot of that first album." As Keys recounted endless hours spent riding the NYC subway, her show became a heartfelt tribute to her hometown. By concert's end, the new mom received a standing ovation.
Performing alone, she sang her own music, but gave plenty of love to other legends. A medley of covers included "big inspiration" Mary J. Blige's 'Real Love' and Marvin Gaye's 1972 hit 'Trouble Man.' She also treated fans to the Beatles' 'Blackbird' and segued from Billy Joel's 'New York State of Mind' to her 2009 Jay-Z duet, 'Empire State of Mind.'
Keys had audience members in the palm of her talented hands, as they sang along to 'How Come You Don't Call Me,' her powerhouse Prince cover from 'Songs in A Minor.'

She is the color of beautiful!!!
Black, white, purple polka-dots, I don't care. She is without a doubt one of the most beautiful women on the planet.
What difference does it make what color she is, you idiot!!
I wish there were more mainstream singers out there like Alicia Keys. She is truly a talented artist.

Sad that she could not find a single man with no kids. That d-bag will eventually cheat on her as well. She will get tired of paying his child support for all those kids just like Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown.

Who?

Not to be Negative but, Alicia was messing around with Swiss Beats when he was still married. His former wife said this contributed to their break up. And that Alicia knew he was married. I'm sorry but I don't care how pretty, I have lost some respect for her.

It's not a part, it's just Alicia. I love to hear her talk.
This is so old. No one knows if that is true and it's really no one's business but theirs. Let it go. I'm a firm believer in things not always being what they seem. Too many times people THINK they know things that are absolutely untrue. I have much respect for AK for what she does that I DO know about. Her personal life that I DON'T know about is not my concern.
