Apr 28, 2022Great Debut Album
Neo Soul and R&B style as its Best with Alicias unique Piano Playin and her unusual Sexy Voice -
Aug 16, 2017Es para mÃ, el mejor álbum de Alicia K. Muestra la verdadera Alicia y la que querÃamos conocer desde adentro, es sin duda un obra maestra y maravillosamente mágica.

JDSep 2, 2005Very good album, however, I feel this will be the last and the only album she will ever make as good as this. I can listen to every amazing song up until Dragon Days. After Dragon Days is over I put the CD back on the shelf because the rest isn't good at all. Definetly talented, but she isn't the next Mariah Carey

Nake-yaBFeb 25, 2005If your looking for REAL talent, and great singing and song writing. You get it all with the incomperable,talented,gorgeous Alicia Keys. She is one my favorites and I don't have that many

tiasJul 8, 2004I think Alicia Keys is a very brilliant singer, and inspires me to want to sing. But unfortunatly I don't have a voice as good as hers!

AGJan 8, 2004Her lyrics sound as if a fifteen year old wrote them. I love if I was your woman but then again it's a remake. She needs to be more innovative and original like outkast, Beyonce, and Pink. She is a soulful singer and that's what I like about her. I just really wish she would sing more original songs and not sample so much.

HattieWDec 25, 2003The best album I know of. Great,great, great job. If anyone rates her less than 10, something is wrong. A classic, real soulful music for all ages. I am 49 and my loves her, she is 7.

VandeshaLDec 23, 2003Don't get me wrong Alicia Keys is on a popping but this album was pumped up just a bit too much. I rally enjoyed track 5 You Dont Know My Name, track 6 If I Aint Got You, and track 7 Diary. Other than that the other songs are not my style maybe cool for some just not me.

MarcusBDec 19, 2003What the heck? Alicia is obviously talented, but the songwriting (or selection of themes) is utterly boring. How many times does she need to sing about love? Alicia seems to be plagued by the R&B disease, whereby any talented singer will de-volve into a crooner just interested in singing about men while seeing how many notes they can hit.

R.H.Dec 15, 2003Hopelessly boring, another piece of bland aural bugglegum totally devoid of originality or purpose. Will sell millions and play in the background at many poers dinner parties this year.

JaniceGDec 5, 2003Just when you think Alicia Keys is amazing...she comes out w/ an album like the Diary of Alicia Keys. It is a fabulous piece of art. Her voice and piano skills are amazing and the work on this cd is priceless.

Awards & Rankings
-
VibeBrimming with updated old-school joints, original balladry, and classic-sounding R&B, Diary finds Keys more relaxed, confident, and committed to the tunes of the '70s than ever before. [Feb 2004, p.127]
-
The project is clearly laboring to be relevant to the current marketplace and thus suffers from a serious lack of cohesion.
-
Keys plays it far too safe here: There's nothing that will offend, and the content is patently generic enough that almost anyone, lovelorn or heartbroken, can build a personal soundtrack of romantic woe from its raw materials.
