You don't even need to reach for the Rockism Decoder Ring (and ask who cares if Alicia Keys, or anyone else, writes her own shitty songs and plays piano upside underwater?): She can't sing. And her gig, both ideologically and Soundscanologically, demands singing. I also hope Timbaland spent about four seconds on that wack rock beat for "Heartburn." There are seven better rock beats on the Mudd Katz mixtape.
