Friday, August 31, 2007

aliciamag.jpg

Alicia Keys who is already stirring debate because of her new single “No One” is the new cover model for the lifestyle magazine, Vegas. Our ‘Hot or Not’ post with her new single got almost 300 comments from people who either loved or hated the song. Check it out if you haven’t.

Anyway, in the article Alicia discusses everything including how she feels about dating dudes in the industry heres a quote:

“…I am not interested in guys in the industry. They are tainted,” she says with a playful hint of repulsion. “You sit back and wonder, how many women has this man slept with. and I don’t want to know. No thanks, I will never be apart of anyone’s list.” [SOURCE]

BIG THANX TO OUR FRIENDS OVER AT alicia-zone.net for the scans.

Alicia is so beautiful and so talented.

Its amazing to see her come into her own as a woman. She’s come a long way.
The outfits are amazing, the photographs, the lighting, everything was on point.

Most appealing of all though, she seems so comfortable in her own skin. I love it!

Que linda!

LMAO@14

Now Alicia is a women I can respect everyday. Women should look up to her.
I’m glad to hear she’s not caught up that hype by sleeping with these industry hoes.

Naturally alot of men are after her look how beautiful she is.

@3 Just because we don’t see her with 5 or 6 different men a year does not mean she’s lesbo, so not it’s not true. If she was going with 5, 6 or even 4 one right after another people would start calling her a hoe.

Alicia dispelled rumors last year that she was gay. She stated that her man was much older than she was so she kept their relationship under wraps. On the pic he looked to be 40 or over.

Ms. Keyes has always struck me as a woman very mature for her age and very level headed. Not like the other dumb bimboes who f-ck for tracks and then cry and boohoo like Ashanti when the loudmouth producer puts their buziness in the streets.

When celebrities don’t see you act the way society dictates them how they supposed to people feel the need to label them. Alicia ain’t exposing her booty cheeks, she is not an airhead, she’s not overly “girly” (doesn’t cry if she broke her nail, conversations ain’t about her favorite shoes or lipstick), so yeah she HAS to be a lesbian. This is the reason why all those rappers try so hard to claim they’re pimping, all those Ushers and Chris Browns and Omarions brag about pimping, cause y’all will label them gay or whatever if they don’t act a certain way.

Alicia’s beyond all the artists of our generations in my eyes, I’m not saying her music is the greatest of all times, but in the words of John Mayer “She’s the strongest artist of our time, she got the vision on LOCK!”. She knows who she is and what her purpose in life is. She doesn’t waste time on unnecessary stress and bullshit, and didn’t choose a skankish image to “prove” something, fuck the rumors, she ain’t trying to act like people think she’s supposed to, she’s doing her. She’s smart, classy and wise, and that can’t be denied. I think that compared to other artists of this generation, Alicia is definitely on a whole ‘nother level spiritually, artistically and politically.

Agree with #35

Alicia is *definitely* not into guys because she’s gay. I personally know a beautiflul, young woman who she was involved with for a while. I not hating or bashing.

I totally understand why artists and other celebs choose to keep their homosexuality on the low in the industry. The sad but very real fact is that although TOLERATED, homosexuality is still not an acceptable lifestyle in mainstream America.

An admission of homosexuality would alter her image and NEGATIVELY AFFECT//LIMIT her career.

Whether or not alicia is a lesbian or bi. she makes music that can stand the test of time. she is gracceful classy and comes off as a eloquent and humble person. personally on some songs i dont like her voice and otehrs i can listen to all day (i.e Diary). i think its her inner beauty that comes through because we were in the same high school and she was always very geeky looking frizzy hair and all that.she wasw able to spend time focusing on studies and music which in the end worked out well for her. because now she is stunning and a truely confident women. She worty of being a role model unlike some sexual but not sexy women in the industry who grind and whine dance on the floor give men lap dances int heir videos, strip, pose naked and etc. she respects herself because she knows she is a queen. thankyou alicia keys for being so beautiful in and out and making incredible music.

55.

whatsgoingon

Friday, August 31, 2007 /

I would hate to know if Alicia is really gay- that’s just nasty. There are a lot of people in the music industry who are either gay, bi or tri (into animals)- just sick. I dont care how great an entertainer you are, but when people find out you are not straight, it will affect your image in a bad way. As much as I love Alicia and her music, I see manly tendencies in her. Just like I’ve seen in “King” I mean Queen Latifah. Alicia took some beautiful pics.

@ #33 CHANTE….

PREACH!! I agree with all that you said 100%. I think that Alicia is beyond ALL the artist of our generation as well. Her talent and self-assurance speaks volumes for who she must be as a person. While i’m not all into celebs the way that some seem to be on these blogsites, I have to say that I really appreciate and respect what Alicia Keys stands for both as a WOMAN and an ARTIST. I feel like when all is said and done, she is going to be here 20 years from now. What she brings to the game is irreplaceable, which puts her pretty much in a league of her own…..

I also agree with her about industry dudes. I don’t care what anyone says, the majority of people in the entertainment business are NASTY to me until proven otherwise. LOL! I don’t see why people break their necks to sleep with somebody that doesn’t respect himself or herself. If you have your own thing going for you, making your OWN money and way in life…. why would you sell yourself short by whoring it up with someone you more then likely just met? That is NOT safe and it’s gross. If you want MONEY and NOTORIETY, get your own d@mn job!! Quit sleeping with these dudes (whether your a female in that business or not) just to have a story to tell. It seems like these days some people will sleep with ANYONE as long as they can RAP or sing…. FLAVA FLAVE is a prime example of what NOT to do!!

And why does Alicia have to be gay? Because some of YOU say so? And if she were what difference would it make? Would it take away from how beautiful and talented she is? No… so lets get over it. As a fan all I need for her to do for me is continue to make good music for me to listen to, it’s none of my business what goes down in her bedroom or personal life.

61.

JANEE

Friday, August 31, 2007 /

@# 55….

We all know Queen Latifa is bi-sexual or lesbien, and Elton John is FLAMING, and their “image” seems to be doing just fine so…… I think only IGNORANCE (not calling you that) would allow someones sexual preference to determine wether or not a person listens to or supports someones music. If Alicia was a lesbian, I don’t think a lot of people would care that much to the point to where it will effect her career…. HELL, have you even seen the world of entertainment these days, being GAY is IN…. GAY is the new PINK. LMAO!!!

62.

Dimples

Friday, August 31, 2007 /

Who cares if she’s bi or straight. Alicia is an entertainer and at the end of the day whatever makes her happy so be it. I like the way she has always carried herself as a lady. She has proven that you don’t have to be half ass naked to sell albums. Do yo thang Ms Keys can’t wait for the album

Alicia is not gay. Since when being a little tomboyish or not annoyingly prissy makes you gay? I hate when ignorant people assume a woman is gay just b/c she’s a tad bit rugged around the edges. Alicia balances it out, she knows how to be a lady but she stays true to herself.

You guys are nuts…if you think this beauitful woman is gay. I think not.. show me one gay chick who looks like her and if that’s even possible I’d hook up with her. (exception to the rules) I always said the same thing about ppl in the entertainment business when me and my friends discuss who’d we do. I’m also good looking (not as hot as Alicia) and I’m attracted to the ladies but never have done one, and probably never will because it hard to find one who looks like Alicia and isn’t all out there…lol but that could be her deal too maybe she’s attracted to women but has never gone there because it’s hard to find one who can keep her legs closed, and their mouth. Anyway I’m getting her album when it comes out because she’s a real talent, but I hope she rethinks the first single because “no one” is ok but not 1st single material..imo

It’s sad when a woman says such an intelligent, classy statement like the one she just said in this interview, and she gets branded a lesbian. The whore culture has become so pervasive in our community that people think something is wrong with you if you don’t have a girlfriend or a boyfriend every waking moment of your life, or because you decided not to date industry hoes. Why must everything be so backwards in our community. We even have some people thing Oprah is not a pillar of success just because she is not married. LOL!

Picture # 1 and 4 are beautiful!!! Wow…
I read the whole interview over on alicia-keys.net, and it’s really insightful… And yes, I agree with her about dating guys in the industry. Yuk! She even said that if it wasn’t for the guy she has now, she would rather date a banker or construction worker. I don’t blame her at all.

And I agree with Chante’s post early in the thread. It’s a shame if you are not strutting around like a hooker, you must be gay. Black folks get it together!

ABC

Saturday, September 1, 2007 /

I love Alicia Keys and her music.

The problem I have with her statement is that she is stereotyping all men in the industry. By saying, “I’m not going to date these guys because I don’t want to be a number” means that she trying to distance herself from women who date industry guys, when it’s not inherently wrong to do so. I’m sure that not ALL men in the industry are whores & I’m sure neither she or her partner are virgins, so she IS in fact a number.

The point I’m trying to make is that I think we need to be careful when we throw stones. The same way she is stereotyping males in the industry for (whatever reasons) is the same way people stereotype her as being gay for (whatever reasons). Both are wrong and are hurtful.

I think she’s the reason why I’m always a bit confused when someone says Rih/Ashanti is “beautiful”. Them chicks r straight up BUSTED in the face! Especially compared to Ms. Keys. :)

And people wonder why there are so many people still in the closet. **SMH**

Now I don’t know what AK likes or doesn’t like, but I can’t say that I’d blame her if she is in fact keeping her homosexuality a secret.

I mean, when you have to put up with ignorant comments like the one whatsgoinon made, keeping it a secret probably is in her best interest.

Because even if people did decide to tolerate her homosexuality, I’m sure that her homosexuality would always be the first thing that they thought about.

I mean, forget her intelligence, grace, beauty, huge heart, class, talent and self-respect, no, her possibly liking another woman trumps all of those other more important–and hard to find in one person–qualities.

Just Sad.

To #92:

So many people are in the closet because they know being gay is unnatural, the majority oppose it, and they could lose some of their fan base, which could affect their income- IT’S ALL ABOUT THE BENJAMINS. If that lifestyle was fine, there would be no “closet” to come out of. Most people in the industry dont seem to “come out of the closet “until they’ve made millions first, then they proclaim their gayness. Anyway, I never accused Alicia of being gay, I just commented that if she were gay, it’s nasty. For instance, you cant tell me that it’s “natural” or “beautiful” for a female to have another female stick things in or out of her (or whatever they do) for romantic satisfaction- that’s nasty. There is simply no substitute AND NOTHING LIKE the beautiful love making only a man can naturally do for a woman. That’s my opinion and I’m sticking to it. I happen to be one of Alicia’s biggest fans. I love her music, her style and agree with everyone that what Alicia said was very mature and classy.

So Alicia is masculine/gay because she’s not overly girly? Do you know how many girly lebians and tomboyish straight chicks there are in this world? The reason I admire her so much is that besides her talent she’s smart, interviewers don’t even feel the need to constantly ask her about her favorite nail polish and shoes like they do most industry girls (who are paid to maintain an image of the typical brainless sexual object), cause she talks about politics and any kind of serious subject. I guess all the sex kittens of the industry “can’t” be lesbians? Alicia is different from them so people have to label her, huh? I’ll tell you what’s different, she’s not a puppet.

That’s just as stupid as people thinking rappers are straight just cause they have tons of women around, yet they label guys who don’t act hard, have a sense of style or don’t fear to show some sensitivity “gay”. Hence the DL men fooling y’all.

Like I said, people and their logic never ceases to amaze me.

I really dont give a flying care about Alicia’s sexual orientation- I just ranted about how gross the “alternative lifestyle” is to me. We all know the entertaining industry is packed with rough looking DL men, girly looking lesbo’s, and other geeky freaks who all have something in common- they’re mostly talented and entertain the rest of us well.

Anyone who hates on Alicia is ugly and could never get a girl like her or is a pure slut period. We need more AK in the world seriously because all these hoodrats make the rest of us respectable black women look bad. As for as the gay thing goes some many ppl who aren’t in the entertainment business are gay, bi, or curious, it’s sad and their in the closet because of ppl like the ones who make those ingnorant commemts on here.

I like her quote and respect her deeply, BUT unless you completely abstain from sex…you will always be apart of someone’s list. Right??? Alicia is gorgeous and real-two characteristics that rarely go together in the entertainment world. Can’t wait for the album.

@ Birdmane12,

You have issues. WHEN have I ever stated that the DL men were necessarily black? It never crossed my mind that DL equals to black, you’re the one obviously stereotyping here. The DL thing been going on since the beginning of time in every country of the world and among all races. Society just gave it a name recently, name that I used here. I clearly stated that just because you acted hard didn’t mean you were straight (rappers, or DL men acting “manly/overly manly”, regardless of race), and just because you didn’t act hard didn’t mean you were gay. Lotta DL men “act overly manly” as they say, to fool people. How people act doesn’t determine their sexual orientation was my main point. My own man - BLACK - doesn’t act hard, and I don’t tag him a DL man so what’s the problem?? How am I dissing him?? Maybe it’s because I talked about rappers? Well although most rappers are black I am well aware that they do not represent the majority of black men, just like the video vixens don’t reprensent the majority of the sistas, don’t insult my intelligence I’m not that BLIND!! But you can’t deny that some of these rappers (who do not represent most of the brothers, I guess I have to repeat myself to make things clear) are fronting a bit too hard and that includes Eminems and Fat Joes of the industry, so it’s still regardless of race. I didn’t even type “BROTHERS” or “BLACK MEN” when I talked about the DL thing…..you have issues.

“…I am not interested in guys in the industry.”

isnt she “rumored” to be dating her producer/biz partner Krucial??? if so….

krucial = music producer = guy in the industry

let the lez rumors continue………

wow…I think that’s the best I’ve seen her look. I can understand about that quote, they recycle each other (men and women)- it’s like they just pass each other down a line. If I was in the industry- I would look for someone outside of it too.

alicia looks great in the pics….although, i’m troubled by the ignorant comments made on this board… black folks are so quick to make our stars gay…. it’s a damn shame.

as for ak’s comment on “industry men”… maybe she’s seen some shyt first hand that no one here can attest to. …just ask a pro athlete how skanky broads throw themselves at them so easily… of course most red blooded american men are going to oblige… But, ak is old enough to know that unless your mate is a virgin, you will be on his “list”. …and it doesn’t matter if they are in the industry or not… a cop, banker, bus driver….all can be promiscious.

Alicia is not being “branded” a lesbian because of her statement. This particular statement is great. Personally I did not initially think she was gay, but she keeps denying it, and hating on gay people. …. goin out of her way, throughout her career. NOw that she’s been around for years, I see her “butch”, clearly. her mannerisms are dykey ( I am a lesbian so I can say that LOL). It is difficult to hide that. She got better at hiding it, and that is why she is making official statements now about how “rough” she was and how she sees why ppl thought she was gay. Sellout!
If it is no one’s business, SHUT UP! stop denying it, that makes people want to out you more.
personally, never been a fan, became on when i saw her Live Earth performance this summer, and now she lost me again. Her voice is harsh to me, as well as her personality.
