If you people knew what you where talking about you would know that she not only a great artist but a even better human being. She is involved in great charities including one called Keep a Child Alive that gives medicine to children in Africa who have AIDS. And she doesn’t do it because it trendy to give back but if you go to http://www.aliciainafrica.com you will see she is a very passionate person that wants to make a difference in the world. It is really sad that one misconstrued article could diminish all the positive stuff she has done. Like she said in her documentary if we spend as much time covering AIDS as we do on celebrities drama we would have a cure by now. SMH

SMH things like this happens all the time when celebs do interviews. Take anything out of context and you can make it a controversial statement and that’s what magazines do when it comes to topics that they know are controversial. Didn’t a magazine try to make it seem like Will Smith was an anti semite a few months ago when he talked about Hitler?

Im actually glad she clarified..and why shouldn’t she?…If people are taking her comments in a way that she didnt want people to, it only makes sense to “dumb it down” for people. I got the jist of what she was saying the first time but I actually believe in “conspiracies” i.e. THE TRUTH.

It’s easy to misinterpret someone’s statements, but in this case, it sounded obvious to me what she was trying to say. I don’t think she’s trying to save face, I think she’s clarifying what she meant for people who are judging her. In Blender’s case, however, I think they just took out the controversial statements to sell magazines because at the end of the day, it’s all about money.

I don’t get it… what she said in the Blender mag could not be “misinterpreted” easily. She clearly stated she believed in this conspiracy theory. I like Alicia Keys, but the excuse sounds WAYYYY too different from the Blender interview. I guess she is trying to save the face.

Talk about an airbrushed cover. She has eclectic taste in music, when I’ve heard her describe it in interviews.
