Alicia Keys - Fallin'
The beautiful gospel-influenced Piano ballad Fallin is considered Alicia's signature song; winning her a Grammy Award in 2002, for Song of the Year.
Keys described the song as about the "ins and outs" of being in a relationship. "Sometimes, you're completely head-over-heels in love with someone, and sometimes you can't stand that person. You fall in and out, sometimes it goes back and forth, and that's just what relationships are about."
Christina Aguilera - Beautiful
Beautiful is a gentle ballad composed in the key of E major. It moves at a slow 78 beats per minute. Aguilera's vocal range spans over two octaves from E3 to G5. She uses several melismas in the song, fitting as many as seven notes in one syllable.
Linda Perry (4 Non Blondes), who wrote the song, once said in an interview "I'm truly proud of that song. To me it almost sounds like a Beatles song. I was trying to write a song that affected everybody - this almost desperate cry that 'I am beautiful, no matter what you say' ".
