There was a slight controversy in 2001/2002 between the battle of awards especially Grammy night.

India Arie hands down. Alicia was fake deep and boring as hell. She was too young to be so dull. What is her personality? She doesn't seem to have one. India Arie's album still sounds good today. Alicia hit big because she came out as this biracial, super pretty, tomboy, afrocentric type. Her image is what made her blow up, not her mediocre music. Her best song was fallin, which is a classic song but the album was wack. Me and my best friend went to sleep on that sh!t. We were kids at the time but still.....

I have to go back AND listen to Acoustic Soul. I didn't like SIAM until years later.

Some people will say Acoustic Soul on the strength of paper bag politics and how far Alicia has fallen off since then (no pun intended), but I honestly believe that both albums are of equal quality and should've been treated accordingly.
