About Alicia Keys Unplugged

Alicia Keys was so pleased with her 'Unplugged' performance that she released it as a full-length album. She wasn't the only one who it pleased. The 2005 release debuted at number one, sold more than 245,000 copies in a week and earned Keys four Grammy nominations. One of them was Best R&B Album. Serious.

The performance, which included 'Unplugged' versions of 'Unbreakable,' 'Fallin',' 'You Don't Know My Name' and 'Diary,' was an instant classic. It was also, in its stripped down simplicity, an undeniable showcase of Alicia Keys raw soul talent. Very few other artists can be as compelling and evocative with nothing to hide behind but a piano.

By 2005, Alicia Keys already had multiple hit albums and Grammys under her belt, but her blazing 'Unplugged'performance established her as a once-in-a-lifetime kind of talent. Watch the whole paradigm-shifting performance, right here on the new 'MTV Unplugged.'
