FanMAIL: Is Alicia Keys Stealing Melodies?
You can tell what’s in a woman’s character by the way she steals other women’s men, I mean by the way she treats others. Alicia Keys apparently has no respect for the artistic property of others because — as Alcove explains in this video — she has pilfered entire melodies from old school artists in the past without giving proper credit.
Unlike lyrics and audio samples (loops, beats, etc.), which are protected under the copyright law, melodies (humming and harmonizing) are not protected. We already know by her sneaky ways that AK is not an honest, right-minded woman. So we’re not surprised to hear that she has ripped off yet another melody — this time from the great Loleatta Holloway for Whitney Houston’s new single “Million Dollar Bill” which AK wrote.
Thanks to loyal reader Oneal for the tip!

Whit & Jay drop the same day? If so I wonder who will snag that number one spot…
This should be good.
Whitney’s and trey songz cd is out today. jay’z doesnt come out until sept 11 i think
TEAM AKEYS! I never knew one could wreck a happy home
GET IT AKEYS!
I have no problem with Alicia Keys doing this with certain tracks as long as it sounds good, and she’s not the only one. Many artist have done similar things. It happens all the time.
“Fallin” is IMO Alica Keys best song but Fallin is based on “It’s a Man’s Man’s World” by James Brown (strings arrangement, the melody and vibe)
Thanks LJ for the correction. Trey is no comp for Whitney is he…
whitney got a few more days sales…cause i got her cd from walmart on saturday.
I’m with Daisy – can’t steal a man who ain’t trying to leave in the first place. Sorry.
As for the music – trust me, if someone is using someone else’s songs/melodies, etc… that artist will sue and get paid. You can’t copyright humming and harmony? It sounds ridiculous to do so anyway.
Dat’s da only song on her cd dat I don’t like. Da song she has wit Akon is real nice. Go Whitney i THINK SHE WILL DO WELL ON.
A. keys is a freak..homewrecker..
