Alicia Keys covers the Fall issue of Uptown magazine. I love how beautiful and classy she looks on this cover, then switches it up for Complex magazine…

We also posted her Complex cover over the weekend. Check out more pictures from the photoshoot and an except from the article after the cut. You can also watch a video of he photoshoot over at COMPLEX

ALICIA KEYS FOR COMPLEX (3) ALICIA KEYS FOR COMPLEX ALICIA KEYS FOR COMPLEX (2)

On dealing with the pressures of fame:

I’m not the chick that breaks down, I’m not the one who loses it and wilds out, that’s not my thing.

On finding herself on top of an Egyptian tomb:

I needed to get out of town and clear my head, I went to Egypt. It was such a miraculous experience for me. I crawled to the top of the pyramid and I just sang at the top of my lungs right there. People walking in acted like I was crazy; I didn’t care. When I came home, I wanted to abandon all the tat stuff about me feeling too vulnerable to collaborate with people. Forget that.

On her idea of a good date:

I like to do things just because the thought came in your mind. I like to maybe go to the planetarium, crazy late at night. I love when a dude is cool with going to the museum with me, especially if it’s an interesting exhibit. I’m not just trying to go see dead white people. [Laughs]

The singer also graces the cover of the upcoming issue of Ebony. She is making moves and looking gorgeous doing so!

“Dead white people”???? Why she talkin about her Mama’s family like that? LOL.

Nice cover pic — thank gawd she’s not oranged or bronzed up like an oompa loompa like usual. This is a much better look. Still not convinced, she doesn’t have that innate sensuality and a lot of her poses look stiff, but I guess it’s growing on me.

J.Lewis, you are off the chain!!! Just tell me you’re tall. That would make it all the better. LOL

Are those leather pants in the middle pick?? I don’t like that they skewed her nose in the first pic…And, I’m tired of seeing the same white tank and high-waist jeans combo… but yellow is stunning against her skin… AND, the sequined top is sooo nice against her skin, too… Her face is always dead, though…I guess she’s not a professional model… Was her face dead before she started with the “sexy”??

26.

Lula Pear

Tuesday, October 2, 2007 /

Did anyone catch it?? Alicia’s wearing the same top as B@%^#c% in the pic in the chairs…

She looks good but…

when i first saw this post, and before I saw the name of who was on the cover…

i thought it was beyonce with her new darker hair….

i was kinda surprised when i read it was a keys…

28.

she stays showing her bust area all the time. lately all magazine covers foccuses on her non exisiting bust area. she needs to get a tan too.other than that she looks pretty.

She is fine…I dated a semi-cute redbone a year or so ago, if i had a dime for every time someone said she looked just like Alicia Keys i’d have at least a nickel, real talk.

Not sure how I feel about the Glitz and Glam Alicia.
My girl is always beautiful but
I’m tired of every chick looking like a Barbie Doll ALL the time.

She looks way better on this cover, still not pretty. She always look blah,like she don’t know what going on, or what she’s doing.

Tuesday, October 2, 2007 /

LOL @ #29 DATDUDE- a nickel? Did somebody ask for change?

@ #26 LULA_PEAR- I noticed but I was afraid to mention it due to how easily wars start when “her” name is spoken=*typed* along w/ another songstress/celeb. lol

Alicia is beautiful but she does look extremely uncomfortable in these pics to me too. They just look forced to me.

Alicia is really doing her thing. She is alright to me. I would buy this magazine “ONLY” to read about the most fierce woman of all.

GRACE JONES!!! I can’t wait to read about her and what she has been up to.

Haute!

Alicia looks cute, I’m not to sure about the wavy texture of her hair in that 1st pic, but overall –Good look. Just like Alicia was singing on top of that pyramid at the top of her lungs, that’s how I sing “No One” in my car. Other drivers look at me like I’m crazy, but it’s ok, I keep singing.

Alicia looks great, even in that yellow banana dress. I love her new song and the funny thing is that the video did it for me, anyone know the release date?

Jill Scott does it again, OMG, number 14 is my favorite!

Alicia you are simply gorgeous..and thats all you need to be…modest. Its goes alonnng way…like the sayin a lil seems more than enough….but I most be honest that new single is not doin it for moi…but I believe the next single might bomb out the first soooo until then I still have love for you…YOUR representin R&B in a good light and real music fans has been missin you…call out all the others to represent becuz these phonys are tryin to take over….

Hip Hop is my baby mama - TOO many hate on darkin sistahs and thick voluptuous women…but dont worry yall….hate only equalz love…plz remember that…and sometimes with hate comes along with envy and jealousy…surface wise… but deep down its love and “I wish I was you”…lol…. ;)
Dark skin women to me are soooooo very pretty…soo pretty in fact its a misunderstood pretty…Thick women are beautiful as well…because most thick women have a strong modest confidence about themselves that most thin slim women dont have because most are too concerned about weight. So sad :(

I’ll definitely grab an issue of this magazine b/c I see Grace Jones is featured in it.
Now THAT’S an intriguing person IMO.
Alicia’s really talented and pretty, but she bores me.

She looks really beautiful. But I miss her “natural” days, like when she had them fly cornrows with the rest in a afro in “you dont know my name”. Oh well, I guess once you go hollywood, ur hair has to look like “them” too.
