Today is Alicia Keys’ birthday and in the spirit of this special occasion, we should all avoid pointing out exactly how shaky she sounded during a Los Premios 40 Principales concert in Madrid, Spain last evening. So, as you watch her performances, I want you to think of at least one good thing to say.

At this point we all know that Alicia Keys doesn’t really sing; she simply yells and hopes that the notes happen to land in the right key. In fact, that’s exactly what she did when she performed at the Commander-In-Chief Ball this evening and luckily, it generally worked in her favour.
