Ever since she got pregnant and became a mother, things havent been the same. She became corny. Image wise, she used to be the hip, cool girl every young girl wanted to be. She was classy and the kinda artist parents would like for their daughters to listen to and emulate. I remember in high school, every girl LOVED Alicia and wanted to do their braids just like her, etc. Once the Girl On Fire era rolled around and she had her baby and got married, she just wasnt the same person anymore understandably.
The first thing she would have to do for me is an image overhaul. All this no make up, all natural look shit was late. And then her singing songs about Blended Family and shit. No one wants to hear that.
We lost this Alicia during the As I Am era:
And now we're stuck with Auntie Moore:
Aside from all of this, her music has been on a decline since the Element of Freedom. And the only real big hit she had from As I Am was No One.
