Editorial Review:
Go behind the scenes to witness the painstaking process that Alicia Keys and team go through to craft "The Diary Of Alicia Keys", the follow up to "Songs In A Minor", which garnered her 5 Grammy awards for R&B Album of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Female R&B vocal, Best New Artist, and R&B Song of the Year. That follow-up album "The Diary Of Alicia Keys" did not suffer from the sophomore slump that seems to ail so many artists, as it peaked at #1 on both the Billboard Top 200 and the R&B/Hip Hop charts. It has sold 3 million copies to date.
The Diary of Alicia Keys Reviews:
A breath of fresh air 
2008-12-22 - This album is refreshing and thought provoking. It takes one away from the regular and there is more substance to it than most of what is out there. Talent is evident, voice is smooth, It was definitely a great buy.
Kind of a rip-off 
2007-11-11 - If I'm correct, this documentary is the DVD that was included with the initial release of "Diary of Alicia Keys". My copy includes both this DVD and the CD, so if you don't want to waste money, make sure your online purchase of "Diary" is the 2-Disc edition.
Where was the Music????? 
2005-07-27 - Due to the absence of music this is the worse DVD in my collection! I contacted Eagle Rock, the firm responsible for this piece of TRASH! Yes, Ms Keys has accompolished a great deal in her young life, but not enough to warrent a documentary. If you were so under thirty this DVD might have been interesting? The other issue was the way documentary was written so small on the jacket - like a bait and switch. The company would not refunded my money nor answer the question does she have any real DVD with music - no response!
Ms Keys you are good but you are not a Lina Horne nor a ELLA F, documentary of these ladies would have been of value. I enjoy watching you sing, not just hearing you sing! You have made enough single release DVDs that you could compound them and release a really good piece of music DVD!
Cheated!
Does not contain any music
2005-07-24 - I'm going against the general consensus here. As far as I'm concerned, this DVD stinks. There's no music videos on it. It's just a documentary about her activities while on tour etc. Now you might say "Yes, that's what the DVD is about. It's a documentary. What's your problem?". If I bought this in a store and read the cover properly, I may have passed. But I bought it online. Alicia Keys has a music CD by the same title that I think is very good. I think it's fair to assume that a DVD by the same title would contain Music Videos or a live performance of those songs. I like her as an artist. I think she's talented. But I do not care what she does off stage or out of the studio. And I certainly do not want to spend money finding out. This DVD should be marked more prominently as "Does not contain any music". I wish I could return this DVD. It is really worthless to me. Just a waste of time and money.
The true Diary!!
2005-05-11 - This DVD is great, it shows her on her tour, what she did in her spare time, her tour bus, bits of shows (inc performaces of tracks from both albums), and a tour of one of her hotel rooms, painting balling, water skiing.....you get the drift.
If you are a fan of Alicia and want to see what she does when she isnt performing, then this is the DVD for you!!
