I've been having this debate within my little clique. And i wonder where y'all stand on this.

Here are some of the points that were raised

1.  Nobody gave or gives a fuck about mashonda. Its not like her and swizz were a brad and jen mess. As wrong as alicia was I don't feel that was the catalyst in her demise. It was her holier than thou act that clive crafted for her. Same way he did it for whitney. But we still rocked with whitney after her messy truth was revealed. So why not alicia?

2. Comparing alicia to angelina. My argument was that angelina always been a rebel / bad girl. Stealing a man was right up her alley  :letsmessfag:

3. Someone else said did her image take a hit or did the music just become boring after she parted ways with Krucial? Girl On Fire and Unthinkable were still big hits fot her, but were the albums still up to par with her 1st 3? I don't think I even made through the snippets of her last one.

4. Another person said "In Common" was actually a really good song. Most of us agree...but at the same time it doesn't fit into where radio is now. No reason why alicia can't still push out hits in a time where ella, sza, queen naija etc are lashing on mainstream urban radio.

What do you think is the issue?  :ATLcameo:

She just got played out like so many other artists do. Simple.

I honestly think that besides the folks who live on the internet don't even know of the Mashonda situation. And the ones who DO blow it out of proportion. So it doesn't have an effect on her chart performance. Every major star eventually falls. She had a great run, it was just her time

This isn't an ashanti or keyshia cole tea.

Alicia was a fucking force before the swizz mess.

She put 90% of her heart in bring a wife and 10% in her music.

Genesis2

She's boring. All she can do is play a piano and she's strictly r & b and r & b faded off the charts.

Lady gaga can play a piano and dance on top of that with better vocals. Who needs ascreecha homewrecking ass. She was always overrated to me.

Genesis2

I knew the bitch wasnt shit when she used bey for that collab and then refused to release the video when her stiff ass got outperformed.

It's the music. While I still enjoy a good amout of it, it definitely doesn't hit like it used to.

I mean... do yall fucking remember the first time you heard Unbreakable or Unthinkable on the radio?? You know it was a hit ITTTmmediately!

The quality of music she put out declined imo.

When was norah turning out hit singles and dominating radio?

She came to mind because she played the piano and people followed them both because they were intrigued by female prodigies.

Pls. Alicia was a RnB artist.

Norah never made it out of adult radio.

Upon further research, Norah had a whole diamond album and won a shit ton of Grammys and they were around the same time. They had similar hype hun. :butwait!:
