On Wednesday evening, Alicia Keys held her annual Keep A Child Alive Foundation Fundraiser in London. Among those who performed were Tinie Tempah, Mark Ronson, Jay Sean and Chipmunk. However, pop singer George Michael was a no-show for his performance of his 1987 hit single, “Faith” due to a tooth infection.
According to Rap-Up, Ms. Keys took her disappointment to the Twitter streets: 
“#Blackball Uk was a TREMENDOUS Success!!!!”…then she asked, “but one question…..what kind of person bails on 15million orphans…..#GEORGEMICHEAL???? ;-(.”[Source]
We’re guessing Alicia didn’t get the memo in time because Michael tweeted about his health situation and how the side of his face looks like “a hairy football”:
“Hi boyz n girls….bad news im afraid…This tooth ain’t getting better in time for tonight, not enough to sing anyway…[...] I’m really sorry folks. You watch, it’ll be totally fine by tomorrow. Bloody typical…I hope not too many of my lovelies managed to grab a ticket. Of course I’d recommend going anyway, Alicia is great live, and @KeepaChildAlive is great charity to donate to.” [Source]
Alicia’s publicist had her delete that tweet w/ the quickness!
Unfortunately most people jump to conclusions due to disappointment without thinking including myself. Knowing AK, she apologized.
That’s immature, she should have known something was up.
damn..AK..smh
…They already sending out Free test models of iPad 2..but ONLY if you live in United States..i got 2..sent 1 to my mom house & 1 to my dorm..lol http://goo.gl/cIyWe
That’s why you never name drop, just do innuendo
Emmmm….barrasing!
Yea….she made a mistake. Hopefully she fixes it.
Can not sit here and say she wrong cause we all assume shit. Its just how it is. Hay at least she deleted the tweet. That just let you know she real passionate about her charity.
THIS UGLY BITCH HAS NO RIGHT!!!!!!!!! WAS U THINKING ABOUT SWIZZ’S WIFE WHEN U WAS FUCKIN’ HIM ?????????/ I HATE HOW SHE ACTS SO HOLY & “SUPPORTIVE” OF CAUSES BUT CAN’T GET HER OWN SHIT TOGETHER…. TACKY BEEZY.
OKAI??!!! AHHHOIGHT???!!! lol
honey its not that serious, get over it, AK is still all that and a bag of chips, u were not swiss beatz ex so move on
Thats Swizz beats dumbing her down.lmao
Don’t people know by now that you shouldn’t vent on Twitter (or any social network for that matter)? If you have a problem with someone- CALL THEM! Tell them to their face! Send a private message for goodness sakes. Just be an adult about it.
i know right!!
Oh Please! Have you read twitter. That is all people do is write what is in their head.
…and that’s why I don’t fck with Twitter or Facebook. If I have something to say to someone or about someone, I’m going to tell them to their face, or right to their ears in private- not put them on blast on the internet and then delete it 2 seconds later. I don’t get the point of that at all.
Nothing but a bunch of thumb thugs hiding behind computer screens.
I hope she feels like an ass for doing that…
Wow, Alicia is showing her true colors. What a b–tch? I really don’t like the person she is showing us she is. That Swizz Beatz affair was a personal matter, but she deserved to get back lashed because she walks around like she’s all high and mighty! That is so immature. She’s in her 30′s and acting like she’s 13. I would expect this from that psycho Rihanna and that junkie Lindsay Lohan, but Alicia Keys? How can she have room to talk when she’s a homewrecker? She’s a sad individual.
She isn’t immature. He had a toothache and a swollen jaw. He could have come out and support.
Do you go to school or work with a toothache, yes. The world doesn’t stop because of it. You have a job to due, show up.
Period!!!!!!!!!!!!
Girl u ust never had a toothache before because when its as severe as that your whole world stops! It is painful. Pain radiates to your ear and then you just all messed up. And him being there would not have mattered because he still would not have been able to perform.
FYI, this is the 2nd yr he pulled out last min. So I’d b mad too especially if the dude is Headlining. That her time and money, not to mention the orphans money he’s playing with. She has reason.
NO! George didn’t waste anyone’s time or money! He has supported AIDS/HIV and numerous charities BEFORE Alicia could even sing! She was only 4 years old when George Michael and others did LIVE AID which was the first concert charity of its kind. George didn’t deserve to be dissed for something out of his control. Like Alicia has never been ill or cancelled a show?!! What goes around comes around. Twitter is not the place to vent… or act like a spoiled brat!
Alicia Keys is correct. It is about being a professional.
I don’t see anyone getting angry with Oprah when she called out Jennifer Hudson being very late to her show and forcing them to reschedule.
It is all about keeping your word. This isn’t about Alicia Keys. It is about children with AIDS/HIV who require financial support.
Uuummm, George Michael was a no show? Now Alicia knows how Mashonda felt that one night Swiss Beatz didnt come home!
Keep a Child A Live is a great charity that provides AIDS medicine, food, shelter to women and children.
People pay up to $2,000 or more a ticket or $20,000 for one table. It would have been nice for George Michael to come and support her. He didn’t have to sing.
Hopefully, he will make up for it by coming to her charity event in New York. He doesn’t have to performance just show support and help raise funds and aware to the cause.
he had a toothache. and anyone who’s ever had one knows you can barely breathe when u have one, especially if it’s an infected tooth. she should have got her info correct before trying to go in on someone. just like she said when mashonda went in on her.
but one question….who messes with a married man….Alicia Keys???
Girl go sit your ass down.
I guess she didn’t delete it quick enough lol.
ok, what is the real story here?? AK affair with Swizz, or helping Africa??? Some people here needs to get it together for real!!!! I’ll be pissed off also because it’s about AIDS/HIV event and the person didn’t show up and help the cause, also where was George Michael PR REP?? Why didn’t his rep called Alicia PR REP that he can’t make it because of his medical emergency?? He’s not a child, he’s a grown man, and he has a responbility to inform her PR that he can’t make it. I’m sorry,if I have an medical emergancy, I will notify the person, it’s called RESPECT!!!! So people, the matter of the story is it’s about Keep A Child Alive Foundation in Africa with AIDS/HIV, NOT HER MARRIAGE TO SWIZZ BEATZ, GET IT TOGETHER FOLKS!!!!
why didn’t her rep call George Michael’s people to find out why he wasn’t there before she shot her mouth off? when he wasn’t there after a certain time it was her job to check up on it, because it’s her foundation. then to do something juvenile like go on twitter?
Alicia is a dummy. I wish her homewrecking self would fall off the face of the earth and crumble to pieces along with her man Toucan Sam!
Yes! you are very mature. I am happy to made the whole issue about your personal feeling. I know forget women and children dying in third world countries.
You are very bright and smart with your beliefs. Hopefully, one day you can find a mate like yourself.
She should not be penalized for her affair with the man she is with now forever but truth be told it shows how people dont recognize when they are wrong only when others are.
she shouldn’t be penalized for stealing another woman’s man? what universe do u live in?
I said forever, forever, forever….
hey alicia, i have one question. ever hear what they say about people living in glass houses?
LOL, funny how homewreckers are always the first ones that wanna try to call somebody out LOL
It is impossible to have an intelligent discussion with someone who isn’t knowledgeable about charities.
Anyone who pays thousands of dollars to attend an event is entitled to a good show. You are their to support the event but also for the entertainment.
Mr. Trump was very angry at Rihanna when she didn’t show up at his event. You have to be responsible in life.
George Michael was wrong for not showing up to the charity.
He was able to twit about her toothache and stated the next day he was fine.
When you have a job, you show up or your inform the person why you can’t arrive in a timely matter. It is only professional.
George Michael has made many mistakes in his life with drug and alcohol problems. He isn’t always responsible at the age of 50.
Please there isn’t any excuse.
After the whole Swizz and Mashonda incident she should try and be the most silent celeb in terms of commenting on controversey or mishaps and just sing. She should be the last to talk about this dude. He didnt show up…. ok itl pass n be forgotten… but her actions are unforgettable
Alicia is right. He should’ve called her. She obviously had NO IDEA he was sick, and being a grown woman who has a show to run, she wasn’t able to check TWITTER (a social networking site) to see why he didn’t show. SHE’S A TERRIBLE PERSON, RIGHT? No. George should’ve let her know, like a professional who’s been in the business for over 20 years.
As for the “homewrecker” comments:
This is not 2008. Get over it. Oh, DO YOU WANT ALICIA TO GIVE HIM AND THE BABY BACK? NO? Okay then, stfu lames.
All you lames acting like you have no sins to confess, worry about your own transgressions, all sins are equal in God’s eyes.
she got some nerve to talk about people when she should be happy the media really watered down her scandal with NEW HUSBAND b/c Fantasia got it worst and they both did the same thing….lost a lot of respect for Keys…i look at her waaaayyyyy different now SMDH
