Alicia Keys “If I Ain’t Got You”
2004

This song is a favorite among American Idol contestants, which is about the only negative thing I can say about it.

Alicia Keys provided some of the very few classic soul/r&b songs of the decade and this one is probably her best.

Alicia Keys “Fallin’”
2001

This is the song that launched Alicia Keys’ career and spawned countless cringe-inducing auditions on American Idol.

I get the sense that years from now Alicia Keys will be viewed in a more favorable light than some singers who experienced more commercial success during this time period (*cough* Beyonce *cough*).
