Perhaps she will put out some new songs not created on a beat box rhythm soon.. At least that is my opinion.

New Day is not annoying. It’s got a good beat, very reggaeish.
However, I find her lyrics lacking, so I don’t know if she collaborates with others….but I think she can go deeper with her lyrics. The music is just fine.

Why can some other famous artist can borrow, sample, steal & pretty much rehash the same song/sound & they’re thought of as a genius/the best thing since sliced bread, but Alicia is lazy?!?!

I love everything abouot that song, including the singer. As far as “Girl on Fire”, I am so sick of hearing about Hunger Games and Katniss in relation to it. Alicia has already stated her song has nothing to do with that so why can’t people just let it go? I wanted to see Hunger Games but after all these comparisons and and accusations, I’m really not that interested anymore and to even suggest that Alicia might be lazy about anything is really stretching it.
