She's not really that pretty though.

I'd say it was of her being a light skin girl playing the piano, tbh.
i think she's pretty but not pretty enough to just skate by on no talent like Cassie kinda did

I agree with u. She's lighter skinned , soulful etc . Few people could argue that helped her

She was "safe Black". Something the whites could get with and not feel threatened . Very "cute".

!!!!!!!

Exactly.

She was the "palatable" black girl who played the piano.

It definitely helped make her more marketable for mainstream audiences.

She ain't really overrated no more to me ....H.E.R been smashed her head into that piano and took her out the game. Alicia can't sing to me. Not even a little. But mama knows how to put together a great SONG. I'll give her that.

Significant Discovery: First known Black American family of Kalmyk descent

Takeaways: Be prepared to pivot, even when you think you're on the right track. Be OK with being wrong so you can get things right.

Kalmyks are tribal Mongolic people who settled in Russia. It's estimated that only 300,000 Kalmyk descendants exist worldwide - with only 3,000 in America.

The ___ privilege, __ist, ___ism gurls on Twitter are so annoying. Alicia made great music period. And that's all there is to it.

!!!!! She was grinding from 15 and only got popular in 2001 or something along that timeline tf
