    OMG – Alicia was at the White House and met with First Lady Michelle Obama. Daddy Knowles and Princess Beyonce ain’t having that. Remember, Princess Bey claims that according to First Lady Obama, her daughters look up to Bey as their top role model of any other entertainer.

  19. HUH?

    I admire Alicia. It is about damn time Michelle Obama invited her for something, instead of SWSNBN. There, I said it! So sue me! :)

  20. HUH?

    @ #12
    Even without reading correctly, if Alicia met with Mrs. Obama in the morning (with other celebs) before being dispatched to the schools, then chances are that this was in the Wash DC area. No?

  21. HUH?

    Then again, how can SWSNBN talk to children about staying in school when she didn’t even graduate her dam* self?

    And Great job to Alicia for working on the campaign trail.

  22. DANIELLE

    Where is yall beloved Beyonce????? My bad, I forgot if she is not singing or shaking her butt its a no go for her, because we all know she can’t hold an intelligent discussion about nothing!

    I guess we will see her at the next concert event! LOL

  23. Dinah

    I wonder did she talk with the kids about her alleged home wrecking…

  24. Wtf

    ^^^^The fact you felt the need to menton SWSNBN says alot.

  25. Tory

    WHAT ????? She went to Anacostia too! ( 4 ppl who don’t live in DC its a small city so everybody knows everybody in different schools) What???? get out of here. dang I wish I was in school to see them, goodness.
    But in the end everythings cool, thats good what they’re doing.
    For Womens History month.

    that’s wassup.

  26. Reese280

    Alicia looks hot and those pumps are cute. Wow, I forgot it was Women’s history month, people barely talk about it.

    P.S. Hatin on Beyonce in a post that has nothing to do with her is soooooooooo 2008. Let it go folks. It looks sad.

  27. dfe

    She looks lovely in curly hair!

  28. Honest Critic

    DANIELLE AND DINAH…YALL ARE SO IGNORANT…BEYONCE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS POST NOR DOES ALICIA’S “ALLEGED” HOMEWRECKING.

    ANYWAYS ALICIA LOOKS GREAT FROM HEAD TO TOE. HAPPY TO SEE HER OUT DOING THE POSITIVE THINGS SHE LOVES TO DO. CAN’T WAIT FOR A NEW ALBUM. I HEARD SHE WAS WORKING ON A MUSIC COMPOSITION ALBUM AS WELL SO I’D LOVE TO HEAR THAT ALSO.

  29. Chocolate Drop

    Beyonce must be embedded in the minds of some of you.

    GEESUS!

    GOOD LAWD!!

    *takes a deep breath*

    Ok I’m good.

  30. Kina and they say Chi-City

    Is that the Nanny, in one of those pic with the First Lady and Debra Lee?

  31. TY

    I gots to be honest Alicia Keys is about as perfect as a woman gonna get. She black (mixed or whatever), nice hips, beautiful face, beautiful hips, beautiful voice, beautiful PERSON INSIDE AND OUT.

    but i’m sure you low-selfesteemed, self-hating people will find something wrong with her.

    I DON’T.

  32. Hot Devil

    Licia is so classy

  33. No Name

    I AB-SO-PHUCK-ING -LUTELY love the Obamas!!!

    I am a native Washingtonian, and although I went to catholic schools in the d.c. area, I live literally right around the corner from Dunbar…I just LOVE how the Obamas are really embracing our city and taking part in the rich culture and history of D.C.

    From Obama eating at Ben’s Chilli Bowl to every time I turn around Michelle is visiting a D.C. public, charter, catholic, or private school. She seems so warm.

    I went to a museum last week, and they had an exhibit on African-American in the District. Did you know that Dunbar Senior High School was the first African-American high school for African-American in the U.S. It was opened in either the late 1800s or early 1900s. It has educated some the most prominent African-Americans in the country!

    Sandrarose had some pics of Michelle hugging some of the Dunbar students, and her embrace was so warm and heart felt in those pictures that I felt like she was hugging me.

    Please keep up the WONDERFUL work OBAMA S. I’m behind you guys all the way!!!

    Yes We Did!!!

  34. BLACK IVORY

    two beautifull women!!!!! love my black people doing positive things…

  35. keepin' it Positive

    Loves Alicia and my first lady, Michelle. I hope the students walked away inspired and enlightened.

  36. Butterpeacan

    UMMMM WHY DID THEY INVITE ALICIA “HOMEWRECKER” KEYS?!? SORRY SHE SO NOT A ROLE MODEL FOR YOUNG WOMEN.

  37. AshLee

    wow she looks so pretty in these picks, love her natural hair!!! and i love her outfit!!

  38. GTFOH

    Yeah I think its Fran Dresher if I spell right form the nanny still lov that show!

    Anyway I love AK I love Mrs OBAMA do the good job ladies!

  39. BSStinks

    For those who are interested, the First Lady’s visit to these schools will be on Katie Couric’s news show tonight.

    I’m pretty sure the program will show the other ladies who attended these events as well. I know the First Lady is supposed to be interviewed by Katie at today’s events.

  40. Wayne

    Man Alicia is HOTTTT

  41. pms

    NOW CAN OR WILL BEYAKI DO THIS?

    NOPE, SHE’S A HIGH SCHOOL DROP OUT
    SHE’S NOT REALLY INTERESTED IN “GIVING BACK” HER TIME TO WORTHY CAUSES, SHE ONLY WANTS TO SING ETTA’S SONG SO HER STANS CAN BRAG **********BORING***********

    THIS IS HOW YOU GET IN AND FIT IN.
    NOBODY GIVE A DANG ABOUT MAGAZINE COVERS AND ENDORSEMENTS.

    WHAT CAN YOU OR ARE YOU WILLING TO DO FOR THE COUNTRY?

    HMM! I THOUGHT BORING BEYAKI SAID SHE WAS A ROLE MODEL? THERE SHE GOES DREAMING TOO BIG AGAIN. LOL!!!

  42. regina

    We are not perfect! Alicia has done soo much good in the U.S. and abroad. What she can show young women about being an empowered business woman and charitable person is not to be overlooked and those kids would benefit & it would be a terrible oversight if her talents & contributions are overlooked b/c of a human flaw. Just like those of you that sit in judgement of her; she will have to answer for it.

    Why bring Bee into this? You know that just sets Bee’s fans off and reinforces their ‘hater’ comments. So irrelevant.

    Alicia Keys looks great, and as an artist I still have respect for her and her music! But as a person I no longer have respect, after that incident with Mashonda……I don’t think so.

  47. AKeys fan #9878

    Alicia looks great as usual. I’m glad she does positive things.

    I luv Michelle. DC is lucky to have her as their First Lady.

  48. Fine-N-Mellow
