As I Am
A week or so ago, I spied an Alicia Keys cd on the math teacher's desk. I asked her at lunch if I could borrow it to play for my students while they did some creative writing. Confession: I've actually never listened to Alicia Keys. Don't act so surprised. Where would I have heard her? Seriously. I don't listen to the radio. I don't know anyone that really listens to Alicia Keys. At least, not when their with me. I just knew that many of my students liked her, so imagine my surprise when I put the music on and realized that it was good! And here I am on a Saturday listening to it by my own choice. Here's my favorite:
Anyone have any other good recommendations for music my students might like to listen to that's not Lil Wayne?

Jenny actually put this album on my itunes and I find myself listening every once in a while.

I love Alicia Keys! Similar artists I can think of (that would still be appropriate for the MOST part) are: Erykah Badu, India Arie, Joss Stone, Lauren Hill, Amy Winehouse, Leona Lewis, Corinne Baily Rae. I'd still give them a listen first- I know there are a few Amy Winehouse songs you wouldn't want to play in the classroom.
Good luck!
