> Alicia Keys checked in with fans on her official website on Friday after taking park in an online chat with fans. Keys was asked how she writes songs, or begin the process of writing. "For everyone it's different. That's one of the greatest things," Keys said. "Finding out how it works for you and what brings the most out of you. Often it doesn't stay the same, so you're constanly realizing what puts you in the best zone. For me, writting comes directly form a specific source. Like something that just happened to me, a coversation, a STRONG emotion, a line in a book, a word... anything usually I seize that exact moment to write down what a felt, even if it makes no sense or it doesnt rhyme, or its sooo messy. Or I will call my V.M. and leave my self a message if I have no pen, or only a melody than later when I have time alone, I like to sit quietly, most times at my piano, many times not and I revisit what I felt, I allow myself to say everything that my heart feels about it with no judgement, till I get all I need out... and I feel the Spirit in the song. Then I begin to arrange it, or share it, or get feedback. The most important thing for me when I write is that I propery express that emotion that struck me so deeply. Even if it has a strange structure, or none at all, no rhyming words or a crazy time signature. The reason I love music so much is cuz it has no rules; anything goes! I try my best to be true to my spirit, not rules or regulations, or doing it how someone else does it (although that's a great way to start if you are just beggining to write). I think the most important thing is, every song is not gonna necessarily be the GREATEST one in the universe, but it always holds great powers if it's spoken with the truth of your soul." Read more.

April 05, 2003
> Alicia Keys wrote in her online journal days after the U.S. led invasion of Iraq: "Its a strange time, aint it? In the air you feel it.. I think today God was crying for us. It rained all day non stop. I think God is saddened by the selfishness of man, the superficiality and the superiority complex that is leading us to God only knows where. He gave us choice, he gave us a mind that's limitless in his likeness and we've only used it to destroy, to use people and for monitary gain. Caring nothing of the repercussions. Where is love? Where is she hiding? I'm saddened by it too, I have to admit. At times my mind wanders, and I start to think of the worst of things, of the way that things could be at its darkest point, I think of how I felt when I saw images of my own hometown after 9-11 and at a brief look I thought it was the Middle East, or some war ridden country, but it was here! And I was humbled and numbed by the possibilties.. of how much we've always takin for granted." Read more.

> Five-time Grammy award-winning singer Alicia Keys was in Jacksonville last night to host a talent showcase benefiting a mentoring organization founded by a former Jacksonville University student. Six finalists competed for more than $1,500 in cash and prizes at the first Youth Talent Showcase sponsored by Frum Tha Ground Up. Keys' debut album, Songs in A Minor, sold more than10 million copies worldwide. She did not perform at the event. Keys, 22, said she was happy to stay in the background and encourage the amateur vocalists who took the stage. "Events like this are for inspiration for youth and people in general," she said. "For me, that's the most important thing to be part of." The showcase, at Plush nightclub, was the first official fund-raising and promotional event for the Web-based celebrity outreach and mentoring organization started by D.J. Walton.
> Alicia Keys checked in with fans earlier this month to give her post-Grammy report. She writes, "I was really happy for Miss Norah Jones and happy to be able to present her with best new artist! I like John Mayer too. I was also happy for [India.Arie] and [Erykah Badu]! I didn't really hang out to much, but I did go to a hot ass jam session that Erikah Badu and Common put together. It was fly! All about the music! Erikah Badu was there Common, Raphael Saadiq, ?uestlove, Meshell Ndegeocello, Brian Mcknight, India.Arie, Floetry, Jill Scott, Bilal, Musiq, Prince, and so many other talented people! It was very cool, jazzy spot, a vibe ran thru the crowd like smoke and settled over everyone. I love thangs like that!" Read more.

> The famed black tie gala hits New York for the first time in five years. Clive Davis, the music legend who now heads both BMG labels, RCA and J Records, hosted his Pre-Grammy gala to a glittering who's who crowd of 900 VIPs. The evening's performers opened up with GAVIN DEGRAW, J Records noteworthy newcomer. The extraordinary R&B vocalist HEATHER HEADLEY, receiving one of the standing ovations of the night, followed him. Sexy singer TYRESE then emerged from the audience to sing his smash hit "How You Gonna Act Like That" only to amaze the audience with a surprise solo by guitarist SLASH. ROD STEWART inimitably interpreted songs from his smash Grammy nominated album, and then was joined by legend LOU REED to rock the room with a memorable version of Sam Cooke's "Having A Party". Then it was JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE's turn to shine with his big hit "Cry Me A River". The night moved to a close with the one and only ARETHA FRANKLIN getting a roaring ovation with "It's My Turn" and who captivated the audience with several songs and there was history in the making with a searing duet with Alicia Keys on a raise the roof version of "Think". Finally, Alicia burst into "Chain Of Fools" and artists from all over the room got onto the stage with Aretha and Alicia and stomped and traded scats and growls in a hair-raising jam session finale with ANGIE STONE, JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE, KELLY ROWLAND, BRIAN McNIGHT, MUSIQ, CARLY SIMON and many, many more.

> Miss Keys weighed in on her feelings of friendship with fans on her official website recently. She asked, "'Member the question when someone asked something to the nature of, Would I become friends with a fan (I hate the word fan, I like fam beter)? Anyway, I thought that was a really good question. My feelin? Well, friendship is hard to come by. I mean REAL friendships, with one that is not just a friend when it's convenient, or because they want something. To me, friendship is also like any other relationship, with someone you really care about. It has to be a 2 way street. I feel like a REAL friendship is when you both give equally to each other, you both learn from each other, you're honest with each other and you both help each other to grow and build. In any relationship if your the only one putting your all and your heart into it, than its not really a positive relationship. So for me it takes a long time to consider someone a TRUE friend."
