Synopsis
While most performers benefit greatly from studio technology, some shine the brightest in an unadorned live setting. As 2005's MTV UNPLUGGED reveals, Alicia Keys is one of the latter: a nuanced singer and gifted pianist whose talent is impressively showcased on this concert outing. Keys takes many of the R&B-rooted songs from her first two albums and gives them dynamic live treatments, throwing in a few deft cover tunes to keep the set varied and unpredictable. The closing track incorporates Damian Marley's 'Welcome to Jamrock', with Marley (one of Bob's sons) and rappers Common and Mos Def joining the party. However, Keys is at her best on her own songs, as displayed by the soulful 'If I Ain't Got You', which builds to uplifting gospel-tinged heights, and 'Fallin', a wonderfully melancholy tune that showcases Keys's passionate vocals.

Customer Reviews

Superbe
One of the best unplugged performances I have seen.
Great, I am very glad I bought this.

quality of singing and songs not as good as I expected
Alicia Keys sings most of her best known songs up to 2005.The 75 minute concert dragged on a bit after about half an hour and the song Wild Horses that Alicia sang with someone from another band was very ordinary. She sang some songs - like Karma - very well and others were poorer versions than you get on the cds. If she had had the benefit of some of the songs on her latest cd that came out in 2007 they would have added some quality to this concert. She sat at her piano too long for my liking and the set was not interesting or varied enough to make that a good idea.Great backing singers though and you get to hear her talking to the audience a fair bit.There is a bonus video of Unbreakable and a ten minute film of the making of the concert.

BRILLIANT!
Like the synopsis above says, a smaller intimate audience is perfect for Alicia - not the big stadium concerts. Fantastic performance backed up with brilliant band and first class backup singers. Sings all her big songs. Also includes cool rendition of "Wild Horses" with Maroon 5's Adam Levine.

Top drawer and a must have for true soul and RnB fans.
