I like Alicia Keys. I really do. But every since the release of her unplugged album my local favorite radio station has been playing the song "Unbreakable" like she died last week. For whatever reason I can't seem to get past the first line of the song.
We could fight like Ike and Tina / Or give back like Bill and Camille
Why in the blue hell would you choose to have Ike and Tina appear anywhere in the song? The first couple at that. What really kills me is that one of my associates serious considers this to be on the greatest love songs in the last 10 years. When that silly ass comment came out of her mouth I wanted to reach way back and slap fire out of her. I seriously thought I was alone in thinking this song was terrible but my 'Roni Rich echoed my same sentiments. If you're going to talk about couples who are unbreakable why isn't Bobby and Whitney mentioned? Now that's love, black love.
I'm telling ya'll if I had any song writing skills (wait a minute, most singers/rappers don't so I really shouldn't short-change myself) I would make my own dysfunctional-version of the song. Here are a few of the celebs I would include:
Bobby and Whitney
Mike Tyson and Robin Givens
Treach and Pepa
Vanessa and Kobe Bryant
Twanna and Allen Iverson
Nicole and Eddie Murphy
Terri McMillan and Jonathan Plummer
Whatever Chick Married Lil' Jon
edit - this is more fun than I thought
Mary J. Blige and K-Ci (just for the hell of it)
Tracey and Babyface
