    I bet this was a good concert to watch, but it is definitely is no good to listen. Not Alicia's best.

  1. There's no sense of storytelling or momentum to her performances: she starts the song in one place and stays there riding in circles until the end.

    This self-assured, illuminating "MTV Unplugged" performance underscores Keys' boundless passion for her craft. [15 Oct 2005]

    For once, Unplugged largely leaves Keys' runaway careerism in the dressing room, where it belongs. [14 Oct 2005, p.148]
