“I think what’s sexy about John is his intelligence. He’s very smart; he’s not like an average kind of guy,” she explained. “He’s creative. He plays the guitar – there’s a certain natural sensuality that comes from that. He’s also a great, great guy.”

Six years and a couple hundred concerts later, Alicia Keys has not forgotten her disastrous 2002 Essence Music Festival debut.

A deafening, Superdome-sized silence greeted her the night of July 4, 2002. Nothing — not her hype man, the opening “Alicia Keys Overture,” her flurry of piano, song and dance, a tepid cover of the Doors’ “Light My Fire” — connected with the discriminating Essence audience. In a final insult, the curtain dropped before she performed “Fallin’,” her breakthrough hit. (more…)

In the gallery you will find some HQ pictures of Alicia from the Grand Opening Weekend Celebration of MGM Grand at Foxwoods.

I’ve added new Alicia photoshoot for Liberation magazine.

Alicia will be featured on July’s issue of Seveteen Magazine! On the left you may see a small preview of it since it’s yet not official and you hear about it here first!

At 27 and with just three studio albums to her credit, Alicia Keys is already inspiring a legion of younger female artists. One only has to watch American Idol, where aspiring divas sing her hits over and over, as proof of that.
And it appears the poetic songbird is just getting started. On top of Grammy wins, multiplatinum sales and a burgeoning acting career, Keys is a co-founder of Keep a Child Alive, a nonprofit organization that provides medicine to HIV/AIDS-affected children and families in Africa.
