Simon Cowell should really rethink his plan to invade America with his protege Leona Lewis,cause the market he's trying to tap into is the territory reserved for the one and only Alicia Keys.If Mariah and Whitney have a crown to pass on,the crown has never look so certain on Alicia Keys when she dropped the heart-wrenching "no one". She may have taken an age following up 2003's The Diary Of Alicia Keys, but she's finally pulled her finger out and if this single's anything to go by it's well worth the wait. For those that way inclined, she's also gone to the bother of filming a video where she rolls around half-naked on a beach. Which is nice.
The song is a fluttering, piano-tinkling ballad - of the variety we've come to expect from Ms Keys - that manages to steer away from the warbling and vocal stretching that so many of her contemporaries (we're looking at you Christina!) insist on whacking in at the end of every chorus. The lyrics expose Keys' vulnerability and current loved-up status, while the tune is simplistic yet beautiful. In conclusion, this tune is cooler than an Eskimo's exposed nether regions and it's flippin' great to have Alicia fill the void only she can fill.

Alicia Keys - No One lyrics
I just want you closeWhere you can stay forever
You can be sure
That it will only get better
You and me together
Through the days and nights
I dont worry cause
Everythings gonna be alright
People keep talking
They can say what they like
But all I know is everything's gonna be alright
No one no one no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one no one no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you
You you
Can get in the way of what I feel for you
When the rain is pouring down
And my heart is hurting
You will always be around
This I know for certain
You and me together
Through the days and nights
I dont worry cause
Everythings gonna be alright
People keep talking
They can say what they like
But all I know is everything's gonna be alright
No one no one no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one no one no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you
You you
Can get in the way of what I feel for you
I know some people search the world
To find something like what we have
I know people will try
Try to divide
Something so real
So till the end of time
Im telling you that
No one no one no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one no one no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you
Oh oh oh....
