    This is an amazing album. Alicia has the most beautiful voice I've ever heard. She shows strengh and love, nothing else is needed.

    This is the best Alicia Keys album I've heard. I especially loved Streets of New York. I loved the way how her band was smart enough to use instruments to imitate street life.

    Anyone who can remix her own material as good as or better than the original as well as sing standards and collaborations is amazing! Yes, I am an AK fan from the beginning and will always will be to the end. Billboard #1 for all 3 albums and the first female to do it - come on now and give my girl her prop!!

    If I could give this album a higher score then 10, I would. Alicia amazes audiences yet again, this time without the help of studio aided effects. She belts out the songs and beautifully accomanies herself on the piano. Even though the album features many of her hits that have previously been released, she remixes them so drastically that its like a whole new take of your favorite Alicia classics like "Fallin," "How Come You Don't Call Me?" and even throwing in a New York jazz club sounding version of the Nas song (featuring Ms. Keys in its original release) "Streets of New York." Overall, this cd is a perchase well worth the money.… Expand

    Alicia Keys has amazing talent, and it shows with this album. She sings her own songs, and blends well with other artists. You can feel the soul in her song and it sends chills down spines. True talent!

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

    I enjoyed this album more than her other cds! Wild Horses, Unbreakable, A Woman's Worth...It couldn't get any better than that. It totally puts me in a good mood.

    This is my first Alicia Keys CD and I LOVE LOVE IT. Her Vocals are superb and so are the lyrics. In this time of artist booty shaking and singing about nothing but sex...its really a breath of fresh air listening Alicia. I love all the songs on here but my favorite is "Stolen Moments". This song is beatiful

    tudo nesse disco e perfeito: afinação, arranjos, desenvoltura, tudo! todas as cantoras tinham que ter essa qualidade de keys ao vivo. talvez ela seja a melhor cantora da decada passada.

    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]
