This is the best first-week debut for a female artist since Norah Jones’ FEELS LIKE HOME from 2004.But let’s look at the real reason AS I AM sold so well – Keys is an incredible performer, she doesn’t fall into formula and trends and the album is a great soulful mix of musical styles featuring a stellar vocalist and songs that actually have substance.So if we were record executives, we’d stop your sobbing and start finding more genuine, talented artists like Keys and get them to deliver the goods. Screw pre-packaged novelty acts and “super-producers” who come in to make everyone sound like everyone else to make a few extra bucks. It’s all about standing out from the crowd and when you do just that, you get 742,000 album sales in one week.track list    1.    As I Am (Intro)    2.    Go Ahead    3.    Superwoman    4.    No One    5.    Like You'll Never See Me Again    6.    Lesson Learned - (with John Mayer)    7.    Wreckless Love    8.    Thing About Love, The    9.    Teenage Love Affair    10.    I Need You    11.    Where Do We Go From Here    12.    Prelude To a Kiss    13.    Tell You Something - (Reprise)    14.    Sure Looks Good To Me</blockquote>
