Alicia Keys along with Jack White of the band, White Stripes are teaming up for the coveted James Bond theme for the upcoming film, which will hit theaters November 7th.
The song, “Another Way To Die,” will be the first duet in Bond soundtrack history. White wrote and produced the song, and also will play drums. The soundtrack to the movie will be released Oct. 28.
This is pretty interesting news considering that Beyonce, Amy Winehouse and Leona Lewis had previously been rumored as the vocalists for the latest Bond theme. I’m interested to see what Alicia Keys comes up with. I think her latest album, As I Am was a good effort for her musically and artistically, but there’s just something about Alicia’s voice that just doesn’t cut it for me sometimes (I think it’s the fact that she doesn’t show much vocal range). I’m eager to see what they come up with, though!
SOLANGE VIDEO BLOGS
Solange, who started her own blog, HadleyStreetJournal.com is taking a stab at video blogging! This is a good look for her, so that people can see her quirky personality. If you’re watching this at work, you might wanna put some earphones in. Our girl Solange uses a couple of dirty words before Julez creeps in!
Solange’s album, SoL-Angel & the Hadley Street Dreams drops August 26th.
CIARA COVERS BILLBOARD
Ciara covers this month’s issue of Billboard Magazine. The cover was shot by Derek Blanks, who has been rumored to have shot all of Ciara’s album artwork for her upcoming third album, Fantasy Ride. Although there have been a couple of leaks from Ciara, there is no definite single yet. We just finally got the full version of “High Price.”
Nice cover Ciara.
Love my girl A. Keys.
Oh dats a good look Alicia
)
and Solange…4sho dats wassup! Solange den grown so much compared to when she had dem red braids in her head lol
i remember on Johnson’s Family Vacation when she said “AND BELLYBUTTON LOOKS WAY BETTER DEN BEYONCE”
THROWBACK
Ciara why are you so damn skinny!!!
I still love her thought.
Solange is MUCH more interesting than her sister.
And I feel the same way about Alicia and her voice. She is a great talent though.
I look forward to hearing the Alicia Keys song for the James Bond movie.
I wasn’t feeling the Solange blog; I saw no need for the creation.
Ciara is a pretty young woman, but the Billboard cover isn’t a good look. Too much make-up that didn’t blend in with her outfit at all.
Wow! Solange was actually keeping it REAL. I’m glad she’s trying to not appear as prude as her big sis! She needs to learn how to hold a f&^king camera though.
Solange,this is soooooooooo boring.
Ciara looks good, I don’t understand what people are talking about that she looks skinny. She looks toned and healthy versus fat and what has been called curvy. I’m glad for A. Keys.
@ #7
I dont get what ppl are talking about that Ciara looks skinny either. I’m a size 10, so not skinny. But Ciara isn’t skinny to me either!
IM SO HAPPY BEYONCE DID NOT GET IT im so glad that they give it to A REAL WOMAN REAL SINGER beyonce’s stans must be mad as all fuck how does it feels? to know that not everyone kiss the ground beyonce walk on? hottest chick in the game my ass!!!!!!
I love solange she is so real!! sometimes realness is all you need
Cici look good
So there is a real person in the knowles clan?
@8
There is no reason to celebrate the only reason why ALicia keys got the role was because beyonce’s is pretty much nothing right now and also alicia is a better vocalist but you best believe that if it was 06 beyonce would have got the damn endorsement so stop hating!!!!!
Ciara looks fab! love her …and A. Keys!!!
Solange best of luck.
Alicia is Not a better vocalist she’s the better artist, do you know how much the film snobs hated that they even mentioned Beyonce’s name.LOL Beyonce is overexposed even to the people who are in love with film. One oscar blogger even siad God help us all if Beyonce gets it.
Loving Solange All Day And Her Son IsThe Cutest Thing In The Knowles Klan!… I Was Just Thinking
@10
your probably right. i’m glad they didn’t give it to her. she probably would have done way too much with that. overkill for sure. leona would have been good for it. she can sing her butt off, but she kind of lacks personality. as for alicia’s vocal range, i feel that way about her sometimes too. but i feel like she comes through when it matters most, like live performances.
ciara cover is nice. she looks good.
i’m not a solange fan so i say no more. i wont knock a black female trying to do her thing.
Cute cover for Ciara.
Amy Winehouse was suppose to do the Bond song. But due to her “troubles” they had to get someone else.
Beyonce was just a rumor, I dont think she was even interested in doing the song.
And when did straining become good vocals? Did no one see Alicia’s BET Awards performance? She was never the best vocalist. I think people mix quality music with outstanding vocals. Alicia def makes good music…but that voice can be a danger to the ears when she sings live.
lol @ #8 making this post about Beyonce. I can tell you miss her being on the scene, huh? She was only mentioned in one line and you made the whole post about her.
The haters always show there colors.
A question for Brian- you say you don’t feel Alicia because of her limited vocal range, yet you seem to like a lot of other people with even more limited vocal range
Danity Kane
Ciara
Ashanti
Madonna
Fergie
And the list goes on and on….so what gives?
Damn thanks to jay-z beyonce is splipping away slowly but surely
they refused the song to her? I’m sad….
I LUV my girl AK and she is fine as hell; the finest woman in the game!!! I`m so glad she was chosen to dew (as in mountain) the theme song for the Bond movie. She`s definitely one of the few “true” artists of her generation. She knows how to balance her career so she`s not “overexposed”. That`s key with any artist because if you`re in people`s face every time they turn around they`ll start to resent you and there`ll be a backlash for sure. Anyway, much LUV to AK….
NICE! My friend recommended me a very interesting place ☆☆☆”NYwealthyMatch . c o m”"”"”"”"☆☆☆ If you’ve ever been there you will know what I mean….
Tom Go Away!
THis post is about beyonce in a way her name is mentionned and i also know the fan live for those few cyber cat fight against the world to protect virgin beyonce
wait until someone come with the entire”180000 millions albums sold, 5.000 grammy’s in one night” tirade, they know they are mad because she did not get it but they will fight and try to say that she does not need the song
BEYONCE DESPERATELY NEED SOEMTHING LET IT BE A PULICITY STUNT OR ANYTHING because beside blogs i don’t hear about her anywhere else and that was my craint the world [minus her people] was so ready to forget about her TALK ABOUT A HARD COME BACK?
Leona lewis CAN sing!!!! Best thing since mariah carey
Amy winehouse shut all of these bitches down if she could just realize that life is a gift that should not be waisted….
I’m looking forward to the anthem , if beyonce rode the hell out of her talent instead of shaking her ass and acting like a chicken-head people would not say stuff like “god help us if beyonce have it” So sad Good for her her fans are dedicated
Solange is such a real girl i would not mind her being the next “it ” girl but i still gotta say that she has no personality she put up an album folloqing the trend
solo star = raggea= sean paul
harley street thing=jazz/pop/r&b=amy winehouse
But she is a great girl with a great attitude!!!!!!! and she does not take herself seriously that’s good if you’re likeable you can accomplish a lot of stuff ask your brother in law’s eye candy rihanna ^^
Cici Look good but damn too skinny
@smooth thug

Can we say beyonce and soon rihanna?
NICE CIARA COVER… TOO BAD SHE CAN’T SING AND HER MOVIE IS GOING STRAIGHT TO DVD.
….what an idiot….
that wasnt quirky, that was a waste of my 2 minutes that i sat back waiting on her to say somethin interesting…
but she actually looks pretty on it veruses her video
and ciara look good she look pale as hell tho
Hey is it just me or does ciara look just like rev runs daughter Vanessa
That is great for Alicia Keys…. Talented woman
Ciara looks like a skinny white woman, bad lighting.
Um…I want whatever Solange is smoking!
I want beyonce back NOW!!!!!!
Congrats to Alicia.. I know the song will be great..
LOL.. Solange is so silly…
Ciara looks good..
Vocal range! FUCKK that can you say second verse of fallin? How dare u?! I’m tired of hatin ass people DAMN. Give Alicia the respect that she deserves. As I Am is on its way to going DIAMOND!! Now who in the game is flippin shit like that NOT BEYONCE and she never has. Brian u just got a little too close to beyonce after Solanges birthday party. Akeys is killin’ em with the music hence AK47 yall need to stop hatin. RESPECT DUE!
Alicia looks great in that pic! Can’t wait to hear the song!
first off happy for alicia. She’s an amazing singer that has what most of these singers need. Substance. I know people may be mad cuz beyonce or amy or leona didn’t get it but it doesn’t matter to me. beyonce is highly overated and i am from texas and i feel so sorry for all of the talented girls from texas who get overlooked and compared to beyonce. she is as fake as the weave her and i both wear. amy she needs to find herself and maybe i will give her a second chance, but she can blow. leona’s voice is simply amazing.
i can’t look at solange’s video cuz my internet simply isn’t fast enough, but she is compared to her sister by many. i for one think that there is no comparison she is realer than her overated sister.
ciara does look different maybe it is her skin tone or her pose but she still looks pretty.
Ciara looks white… that’s weird
LMAO AT THE BEYONCE HATERS TYPING UNDER DIFFERENT NAMES. THE ONLY ONES WHO ARE MAD ARE THE HATERS BECAUSE THE FANS KNOW THAT BEYONCE WAS NEVER SUPPOSE TO DO THE BOND THEM. THAT WAS A “RUMOR” DUMBASSES. AMY WINEHOUSE WAS THE ONE WHO WAS SUPPOSE TO DO IT. DO YOUR RESEARCH NEXT TIME.
OH AND HATE ON BEYONCE ALL YOU WANT BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY BEYONCE IS STILL RICHER, MORE FAMOUS, AND MORE SUCCESSFUL THAN ALICIA KEYS. ALICIA HAS A LOOOONG WAY TO CATCH UP. LMAO
i love how alicia got the theme yet all the comments are about beyonce. it’s official.
beyonce>>>>>your favorite artist.
Ciara looks absoutely flawess, she is ready to top the charts again
Looks like Ciara has been thrusted into the jaws of Hollyweird. She too is destined to become a bag of bones.
I’m confused. How is this a backlash to Beyonce?
How is Beyonce falling off? I’m an Alicia fan too but come on. Hot devil is deluded if you actually think this will affect Beyonce career or if you really think her fans are mad about this.
Beyonce is the hottest chick in the game because of all that she has accomplished. You jealous females can call her fake or whatever name you want to call her but her accomplishments speak for themselves.
Real talk. Even with the bond theme Alicia is nowhere near Beyonce status (fame money power).
smh i am not a huge beyonce fan but damn the beyonce haters are the dumbest people. can ya’ll not read it said that beyonce was RUMORED to record the bond theme. beyonce probably dont even know she was rumored to record it. I mean if you are going to hate then at least get your facts straight.smh congrats to alicia though i hope she does a good job.
Ciara looks good as hell.
MS. AK47 knocks ‘em dead once again!!! Congrats!!!!
Everyone considered or rumored for the song had to submit a demo or either there song itself in for consideration for the title track. When Beyonces Beautiful Nightmare leaked she stated it was a demo for something she was working on, also around the same time Alicia’s song Hurt So Bad was also rumored to be considered for the Bond Theme.
Beyonce is the hottest chick in the game i mean how could people chose Alicia keys over her? they probably ask bey and she refused that’s why they chose Alicia as a second hand… i mean as i am only sold 200.000 more copies than both of beyonce’s Cds Beyonce is the greatest better than all of us , she has god number on her cellphone and she has immortality she does not poop or anything like that she is a goddess
#24 you seem crazy as hell.
You’re the reason why Beyonce was just #4 on Forbes.
Keep giving her web hits.
Beyonce is talked about everywhere on radio internet commercials on t.v.
You must be deaf if you dont hear or see her..
She still on top running ish and got you talking about her even when the topic is not about her. rotflmao
solange keeps it real, go head girl
I’m sorry I don’t care what no1 says ciara lost too much weight. Really it doesn’t look right. She’s to tall for that. Imma need her to get back on the curvy team. . I know she has money for a personal trainer to maintain her curves and still be toned. Ne who Love solange can’t wait till the album to drop! Smooches
I wasn’t going to comment on the AK-Bey commentary, but I just have to respond to what BRANDY 2008 said. I will give you the fame and money thing, but Beyonce is not and probably never will be more successful than Alicia Keys. Alicia’s sold more albums worldwide and has more awards than she does as well (even with her DC awards, Alicia beats Beyonce and Bey’s been in the game for 4 or 5 years longer than AK has). At the end of the day, success/longevity is what’s important because that’ll survive after you die–money and infamy won’t. No disrespect to Beyonce because I’m a fan, but if you think people will be singing her songs 20 years from now, you’re delusional. However, Alicia’s songs are timeless and classic.
#46 THAT’S NOT TRUE. PEOPLE LIKE TO THROW RANDOM NAMES OUT THERE. BEYONCE HAS NO NEW MUSIC OUT. ALL THAT STUFF THAT LEAKED WAS LEFTOVER TRACKS FROM BDAY. I THINK THEY JUST THREW HER NAME OUT THERE TO START CONTROVERSY.
#47 IS PROBABLY AN ALICIA STAN OR RIHANNA STAN WHO LOVES TO HATE ON BEYONCE OR BE SARCASTIC. IT’S FUNNY HOW BEYONCE HAS STANS OF OTHER FEMALE ARTISTS MAD AT HER. THAT MEANS SHE IS THE ONE TO BEAT AND EVEN THEY KNOW IT. BTW BEYONCE HAS SOLD WAY MORE RECORDS THAN ALICIA.
#51 STFU. BEYONCE HAS SOLD OVER 130 MILLION RECORDS, GOT 150 AWARDS, DC IS THE BEST SELLING FEMALE GROUP OF ALL TIME BECAUSE OF HER AND SHE WAS THE FIRST FEMALE ARTIST TO RECEIVE INTERNATIONAL ARTIST OF EXCELLENCE AT THE AMA’S. NOT TO MENTION SHE SOLD OVER 50 MILL DOLLARS IN TICKETS AT HER WORLDWIDE TOUR. BEYONCE’S TOUR WAS WAAAAY MORE SUCCESSFUL THAN ALICIA. NOT TO MENTION BEYONCE’S MOVIES AND CLOTHING LINE HELPING HER MAKE 80 MILL.
BEYONCE WILL NEVER BE MORE SUCCESSFUL THAN ALICIA? LMAO THAT’S TOO FUNNY. YOU ARE THE DELUSIONAL ONE. EVEN RIHANNA IS MORE FAMOUS THAN ALICIA.
AND PEOPLE WILL DEFINITELY SING BEYONCE’S SONGS 20 YEARS FROM NOW. DANGEROUSLY IN LOVE, INDEPENDENT WOMEN, SURVIVOR, SPEECHLESS, AND COUNTLESS OTHERS. ALICIA SAMPLE A LOT OF HER SONGS.GTFOH
I wish you Bey stans and Alicia Keys stans would all stfu. This post not even about Bey and she got people typing essays about her. Give it a rest.
I for one like both alicia and beyonce…but overall i get more substance from A key’s music…then i do from Bee’s. I like dancing to bee’s songs but when Im going through something in my life its Akeys music I turn too. I just think overall the two artist are on different levels. With all that being said Congrats to Akeys for getting the deal.
Haters shut up yall the ones that sound mad jealous and delusional as hell. Sense when have Bey fell off she not even around she’s on break and last I heard her last album did very well. I love AKeys to but she’s not such a great vocalist but a great artist who always does quality work. And people give it a rest Beyonce doing the song was a rumor on the Internet and never confirmed by anyone who knows whats going on. Also why should Bey fans be mad we know everything shes already accomplished and it’s a very long and successful list. We understand her name won’t be on or attached to everything but yet and still she will go down in history as one of the few and best of her time. Her place is already cemented in stone is your favorite artist. For the folks who think all she does is shake on stage or is only famous for her looks etc and all those silly opinions that is just what they are opinions . I know millions of others that will tell you otherwise just see her album sales and endorsements. I do wanna congatulate AKeys do the damn thing girl. Oh and Ciara looks nice looking forward to the album.
I prefer Bee’s music over Alicia’s. Alicia is boring as hell to me.
I’d fall asleep at an Alicia Keys concert.
Bee has successful tours for a reason.
The girl can perform her ass off.
As for the Bond theme I think Amy Winehouse would have been best for it. I agree with Brian. Alicia voice has no range whatsoever.
Lmao i get so much atention i’m blessed
yall all i gotta say is you better have a convention or some shit like that to figure out how the hell yall are going to make beyonce sell a milli with her next album because believe me 15 people on blogs arguing with others is not double platinum , because you guys [tought i know u shameless] will be so funny lookign when she come back and sells only 200.000 k
Alicia Keys has always been on top of her game. Until recently, she was underrated to fake artist who are all studio. Beyonce is on top of her game too. Even though I’m not her biggest fan, I respect what she does and how well she does it. People should stop hating on both of them, because their both talented just in different ways.
53.
LAVA
all thats u said is just confirming that beyonce’s look which is ragedy right now push her to teh top how the hell does her tour sells more than her album? if the music was so good people would buy a milli the first week of b’day and than buy the tour concert also fall back
teh as i am tour was more successful than the b experiment check ur fact
