> "I was in the car and got this call from my manager, and I was like,'Huh? That can't be true!' I was praying to God that it was a terrible rumor. Aaliyah's death had such an impact on me because even though I never met her, I believe you can get an idea of the essence of a person's spirit through her music and image - and I felt that her spirit was so good. She was strong - she had her own ideas on what she wanted to wear and how she wanted to be represented. She always did things a little differently. And she was so inspiring. I aspired to be an artist around the same time she had already releasedan album, so she made it a reality, a realistic and attainable goal for me. Aaliyah inspired me not only to continue being an artist but to be an individual - no matter who you are or what you do, be your own person, love who you are, and be proud of that. I feel she departed in a good space, in the sense of where her mind was and where she was in life. She was happy and free, and her spirit is flying."
--Alicia Keys.
> Aaliyah died one year ago, on 25th of August 2001 in a plane crash... but we will always love Her.

> Grammy-winner Keys sings soul out to sparse audience. Sure, it was only a Tuesday night, but you'd think soul traditionalist sensation Alicia Keys would still sell out the Orpheum theater. Come on, she tied a record by winning five Grammies, all this year, and she's just 21. Her debut and Grammy-winning record (Best R&B Album), "Songs in A Minor," was a No. 1 disc. Yet Keys played to a house only two-thirds full. Read more.

She's an incredible prodigy and likes to do stuff that feels good to her. I can appreciate that, because I'm in the same spot." The two do hope to write together soon, but they have no immediate plans to record or perform together.

> Alicia Keys has gone against the grain of most of her celebrity counterparts by refusing to use bodyguards while wandering the streets of New York. The singer, 21, prefers to spend her downtime alone when she's in her home city's Central Park or on the subway - shunning the obligatory star entourage of bodyguards, assistants and fame-seeking friends. Her mother, Terri Augello, says, "Alicia's very unwilling to give up her right to go and do what she wants. She doesn't like restrictions. If you don't act grand and attract attention, people don't really get crazy."

> MuchMusic caught up with Eve to talk about her upcoming album, 'Eve-olution', which she says was done pretty much on her own. "This album, I did it pretty much by myself. I've never been in the studio, me by myself making songs," said Eve. "I think artistically I learned a lot about myself, and I got to experiment a little more. I think I was less scared then I've been in the past to do different things with my music. It was cool." As for why she chose Alicia Keys to collaborate with on the first single "Gangsta Lovin'', Eve said, "It's like why not. I love Alicia, I think she's incredibly talented and I needed a girl on a song, and why not Alicia Keys."

> Star Alicia Keys has has slammed rumours circulating that she is a lesbian. She said: "Just 'cos I don't wear dresses? Give me a break, it's silly. Every female has been called gay at one time. That's not who I am. I don't have a problem with anybody who is but that's just not me." Rumours started after it was noted the private multi-Grammy winner was rarely seen with a man. She has, however, revealed she is in a long term relationship with a man she refuses to name.

> Sexy Alicia is still bombarded with requests to do flesh-baring photo shoots, despite publicly declaring that she will never strip. The Fallin' star, 21, constantly faces the persuasion of over-zealous photographers desperate to be the first to snap her unrobed. But their persistence has only succeeded in strengthening her stance. She says, "For me, it really comes along with being conscious of the image I portray. "Because in situations with different male photographers, they see a young woman and really just want to see skin. "That's been a battle for me. When a person is constantly pushing that on you, it gets very, very wearing. You have to constantly be on the top-top-top of your game."

> A concert in Antigua by Alicia Keys was canceled because the concert's promoters didn't pay her appearance fees, her agent said. The concert, scheduled for Friday night, was advertised as the first of a Caribbean tour. The amount of the contract was reported to be $60,000. "The promoters ... did not live up to their contractual obligations," said Keys' agent, Rob Light of the Beverly Hill-based Creative Artists Agency, in a letter sent to Antigua Junior Finance Minister Asot Michael. "Their total disregard for the agreement left us great concern as to the viability of the production, ticketing, and security," Light said. Concert promoters in Antigua, Tower Promotions, blamed co-promoters Itchi Baba of Trinidad and Baby Brother of Miami for the failure to pay. The co-promoters did not say why they failed to pay. But Itchi Baba manager Al Taylor and Clarence Smith of Baby Brother said on Thursday in a press release that they approached the government of Antigua and Barbuda for assistance in salvaging the show. By that time Keys' management refused to continue with the concert and requested the show be postponed, the release said. Light said the Antiguan government "has been incredible in trying to resolve this unfortunate situation" and the government would like "to try and reschedule (the) show for September."

June 27, 2002
> Alicia Keys has promised to deliver "pimped-out vocals" from Christina Aguilera on "Impossible," a track she co-produced for Aguilera's upcoming album. On day three of their sessions at New York's Electric Lady studios last month, Aguilera wasn't looking like the "big ol' pimp" Keys was boasting her to be. There was no diamond-encrusted gold goblet or neon three-piece suit with the matching hat and 'gators. X-tina just sported a cutoff Terry Bradshaw Pittsburgh Steelers jersey, though her white undershirt did match her pink and white scarf. Aguilera's nose was stuffy, her eyes were puffy and she was coughing. Obviously her cold didn't have her much into a game-spitting mood not that she would've been wasting time shooting the breeze if she were the perfect picture of health. Aguilera was ready to get down to business and finish the track, which was being produced by the Krucial Keys team of Alicia and her partner, Kerry Brothers."I like the piano," a giddy Aguilera said of the slow, chord-driven track Keys devised to complement her big voice. "Now I gotta learn how to play. You inspire [me]." Looking low-key in sunshades, a scarf and a leather jacket, Keys returned the compliment. "I like them vocals," she said. "We're smashing. Official killer. 'Killer Chris!' " A few minutes later, Keys, who was orchestrating the session when she wasn't laying background vocals or harmonizing with her collaborator, sat intently at the boards listening to K.C. finish the second verse. "'It's impossible to make it easy if you're always trying to make it so damn haaarrrd,' " the 22-year-old sang."'How can I, how can I give you all my love, baby/ If you're always, always putting up your guaaarrrd/ This is not a circus, don'tcha play me for a clown'. Keys and Aguilera have been wanting to work together for a while, Keys said. Keys wrote the new cut, but not before the Grammy Award-winners had a chance to vibe off each other they hung out and partied before Keys penned the track. A tentative September 17 release date has been set for Aguilera's still-untitled album, which is the proper follow-up to her 1999 self-titled debut.
> Alicia Keys, Missy Elliott, Halle Berry, Will Smith and Muhammad Ali have been honoured at the Black Entertainment Television awards.

"She calls her album "Songs In A Minor" and all of the songs are in E and D," he explained. "I don't think she knows her grammatic skill, personally. I think she's "The Gong Show."

Ja Rule and Ashanti are third, (17.88%), with "Always On Time." Bow Wow's "Take Ya Home" is in fourth place with 13.41% while Alicia Keys' "Fallin'", (4.02%), brings up the rear.

> Alicia Keys praised her mother Terri Augello in an interview with Evelyn McDonnell of the Miami Herald. "She is a very strong woman: strong-minded, strong-natured," she said. "She wasn't the type where I would walk in the house and see her defeated constantly. Even in those types of circumstances, she was always like, OK, let's get it going. That taught me how to conduct myself as a woman in life." As for her next album, Keys revealed, "Approaching my next album, I'm so excited, because I never had to compromise myself for this album, so I know I won't have to for the next one." Read more.
> Alicia wrote on her official website journal last Thursday: "I'm Baaaaaaaccccccck! You see, I decided to take some time for myself, to just reflect, to hear my mind, my thoughts, listen to music (ALL kinds, Quincy Jones, Dinah Washington, Fela Kute, Nirvana, Oscar Peterson, Ray Charles, Killa Priest) I mean can you FEEL me! :-) I was zoning out. I read, Alice Walker, DH Lawrence, Maya Angelou, Toni Morrison, just zonin out! For the first time in my ENTIRE life I was alone with my own thoughts, my own noise in my own head, my own desicions and choices because I had no other opinion to affect my own, my own silences in my own space. It was truly a remarkable and eye opening experience. I Have to say, even if I can only make it to my bathroom to be alone, I promise myself the time to hear my thoughts, to breath, to focus or re focus. It really leads you to a whole new understanding of yourself and those around you. It's a beautiful thang!! Can ya'll feel me!!!".

Diddy, Alicia Keys, LL Cool J, Foxy Brown, Noreaga, Loon, Flipmode Squad, Wu-Tang Clan and others gave an all-star sheen Tuesday to a massive protest against a proposal to slash more than $1 billion from the city's education budget. "We are not just gonna take what we're given," an adamant Alicia Keys said, standing on a makeshift stage across from City Hall. "We're not gonna take $1.2 billion in cuts. We're worth more than that". "I'm a New York City resident, born and raised here," she explained before going up to speak to the sea of onlookers. "When I was in school we were fighting the same fights against budget cuts. Once again they constantly want to take from the system of education, from schools, from the people that are going to be the future. I'm out here to show my support that we're not going to accept this".

The PSAs also direct viewers to the website youthAIDS.org to learn more about the disease, and the opportunities to contribute to the fight against the spread of HIV/AIDS. Through the effective use of theatre, media, music, fashion, and sport,YouthAIDS promotes abstinence, decreased sexual activity, and safer sex to teenagers around the world.
