Alicia Keys Performs @ "As I Am" Album Release Party
Tuesday, November 20th, 2007 after a late four martini lunch by Moe
Rolling Stone gave it three out of 5 stars...
You have to admire Alicia Keys' commitment to her street-nice vision. In the year Ciara grew up, Rihanna left the islands and Jill Scott explored the joy of sex, the twenty-six-year-old's third studio album envisions a hip-hop generation ready for its own Roberta Flack. Despite substantial input from Kerry "Krucial" Brothers, the rapper boyfriend Keys says she made wait a year to get down, the prevailing mood is reflectively soulful and the prevailing tempo mid. The pair's collaborations peak with two power ballads anchored by heavy keyboard hooks: the watch-your-step "Go Ahead" and the unconditional "No One." And while proven hitmakers Linda Perry and John Mayer add little, Plantlife's relatively obscure Jack Splash chips in on the album's two liveliest, loveliest tracks: "Teenage Love Affair," in which a street-nice girl stops at "third base," and "Wreckless Love," which goes "crazy" without specifying a single body part.

She made him wait ONE YEAR?!
What the hell happened here? She's a fine looking woman, now she looks like a clown
(or a tranny in drag) WAY WAY overdone

its hard to make pale pink makeup work with darker skin and the makeup artist should have known better

Not a good look Ms Keys. Her head looks huge. And she should be drawing attention away from her ugly shoulders and legs not highlighting them.

she REALLY looks like that women in "Brazil" when shes getting her face done, and they pull the skin tight from the back of her skin to get the wrinkles out. she always looks like someone is pulling her head skin from the back of her skull...not attractive at all.

She's so pretty but someone tries so hard to make her not be. She has a wonky eye and a weird body, and gawdawful makeup, but despite is all manages to be lovely. Its really weird.

Ok the woman has DEFINITELY had work done on her face. But getting rid of the clown cheeks would do wonders for her. And yes, her body's way unproportionate, but in this pictures, she's managed to hide it a little.

This is why I prefer slim women with curves. They eat like crazy, they enjoy life and they don't end up looking like crap. Women with Alicia Keys, Beyonce's, Salma Hayek's body types HAVE to diet and exercice all the time if they don't want to become complete slobs. I bet Alicia Keys diets like hell, but her legs are still veeery disproportionate to the rest of her body. As far as gorgeous, everyone looks gorgeous in their videos today. Doesn't mean anything, it's not reality, it's a photoshopped video.

Alicia Keys is a beautiful person! She is so pretty. I think she is the pretties woman in the world, and I know that MANY people agree with me on that. She also has the most beautiful voice I have ever heard. She is a rolemodel for the youth. She is a part of a charity organization that is called 'keep a child alive', that helps children who have aids, and she has donated a lot of money to the poor. She is also cool and chilled and a happy person. Who could not like Alicia Keys??
