A Keys Does Uptown
Posted by Bossip Staff
Alicia Keys is a prime example of being sexy without slutting it up all over the place. Even in a skintight dress on the November Complex cover she still exudes class. These hoes exposing their bodies for some press need to get out a pad and pen.

A.K. looks stunning! Way to go Lesh. I love the comment by the BOSSIP staff. Take Heed, K-Listers
GORGEOUS!!!! Real Star POWER!
she looks hot on the cover of EBony as well…post that up too
first. she looks gorgeous
Cheers to A.K. She is working it out on this cover.
She looks stunning… wow.
She looks pretty Like the mustard color dress. Yellow is my fav colrs as well.
thats really gorgeous.
Alcia looks very sexy in this yellow outfit. See you don’t need all that damn extra lacefront and short skirts and tops in order to be sexy. Ms Beyaki!
Beautiful cover !!! I certainly hope that some of the other beautiful black female artists out there take notice can we say Janet Jackson?) and learn that sexy doesn’t mean exposing body parts. Janet should have gone this route during her overexposure (no pun intended) when she was promoting that god awful “20 Years Old” CD instead of dressing like she was 20 years old, which by the way she did not when she actually was 20 years old.. LOL I guess if the music or talent can’t speeak for the project, let’s take off some clothes !!!
I don’t know what pic everyone else is lookin at but just because her ***** isn’t out doesn’t mean anything. Her chest is out.I don’t have a problem with what adults decide to wear. I’ve seen “ladies” with less on in the club. LOL. She does look very pretty.
That cover is pure hotness…get it A.Keys!!!
p.s. I think it’s funny how so many people want stars to cover up more ( i subscribe to that as well) yet the records are still selling. WE HAVE THE POWER. Record labels are putting out what the public wants. I understand that not everyone does but if enough people get together we can be a force to be a powerful force.
Correction
…We can be a powerful force..
*damn i can’t type*
nice photo(shop)
I like this cover way more than the Complex cover- Oh by the way she is showing more skin than usual… but who cares the girl has talent.
^^^^ahahahahaha
too bad she a *****-eyed lesbian who likes to eat *****……
Great cover but it doesnt really look like her. When she was on the cover of Vogue or Harper’s she didnt look herself either. But still great cover.
The sexy actually becomes her on this picture.
Bossip needs to be more specifc about who there calling hoe’s, don’t throw side punches bossip, hit em in the face.
DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYUM

NUTHIN BUT SLAPS
wellllllllllllllllllll i think she looks cute. HORRIBLE job on the airbrushed *****ayyyyyyyys. and stop hatin on the girls that wear less. you dont see pics of them in everyday life with a gold sparkly mini dress…its an image.
Glad to Ms.Keys doing her thang, and saving the world from the Beyonce maddness. Alicia is a true star who don’t need to get on stage half naked to get people intrested.
*laughs at mark*
i’m no les but she could eat mine… i’ll be her k-fraud. lol
^^^AAYO
Ummm I guess we gone ignore the fact shorty airbrushed outta her mind. LMAO. Love you boo.
It’s easy to see she’s a dyke and she doesn’t want the public to know.
what about A. Keys in this photo screams out “I’m a dyke?”
I don’t see it
Alicia Keys looks stunning. I really admire this woman’s sensuality, talent, beauty, brains, and professionalism. Speculatively she may be a carpet muncher….it’s not for you to judge, and really is her damn business!
All the haters are mad because the *****ty cheap look is played out. Alicia keys doesn’t give the stans what they expect…she raises the bar on feminine star power.
ALICA THE *****!
51/50 RATCHET “IN STORES OCT.23″
This picture is either airbrushed or Alicia just completed phase 1 of her plastic surgery {that aint her nose}
All that above taken into consideration this picture does NOT impress me one bit—straight trash as far as I say.
U GO GIRL!!!
dey photoshopped the hell out of dis pic. a. keys doesn’t look like dis.
lol yall are funny when it comes to AK, but very serious on Beyonce’…
Amazing layout and color use. The yellow is bright and bold, which makes a statement and draws attention, but doesn’t distract from the main photo, the beautiful Alicia Keys.
alicia is possibly a lesbian, but that doesn’t take away from the fact that she’s a very cl*****y and extremely talented artist.
“Alicia Keys is a prime example of being sexy without *****ting it up all over the place. These hoes exposing their bodies for some press need to get out a pad and pen.”
Yes, Bossip. I strongly agree.
Hey BOSSIP that’s all your Rihanna does is ***** it up cause she has no damn talent. Alicia looks pretty. Bossip always gotta try to put someone down to uplift Alvin Keys.
yes she looks great. but it is airbrushed TOO DEATH!! i dont hink i’ve seen that much damn airbrushing on anyother pic of any other person. i mean her skin looks like wax. beautiful girl yes, so why did they make her look fake.
Alvin Keys?! LOL! She looks amazing and airbrushed
This off topic, but I must know. If someone says that blacks spank more than non blacks is that a racist statement? I think it is racist because they’re making generalizations about a whole group.
Yeah..she look’n like a force to be reckon wit right der.. lol a charchar lol
Very nice.
She looks great!
LOL@Ayo Alvin Keys hmmm, ru bein sarcastic?! @Gamma Ray yea she looks gorgeous, very impressed but the airbrush is just screaming at me. We all no her skin (or anyones skin for that matter) dont look like that in real life. She def looks diffrent there. Im tellin u if we had the money, wed look like that too. Like u gravatars Gamma lol
October 01, 2007. There’s a rumor going around that, if it’s true, is extremely troubling. MediaTakeOut.com is hearing whispers that last year R&B singer Alicia Keys suffered from a stroke.
Insiders in the music industry are chattering that early last year Alicia suffered from an unknown illness – which led her to suffer a mild stroke. Word is that the Grammy Award winning singer was in the hospital for weeks.
Luckily for everyone, MediaTakeOut.com is also hearing that the stroke caused no permanent damage and that Alicia made a full recovery from the illness
She looks fantastic.
Gosh, this woman is so photogenic! Just like I said (typed) before–she never ceases to amaze me how she can look so different in every photo she takes. Plus, I’ve never seen a bad one of her!
Is there any possible way someone can find room to hate on this one? Lol!
Do it girl!
I’ve said it once I’ll say it again. AK and Bey are the hottest chicks out there. They’re both prime examples of why brothas love our sisters. At size 6 or 16 these women are almost always cl*****y and feel confident enough in themselves not to ***** it up. Plus they are truely gifted and have enough talent not to have to f**k for tracks. Neither needs a man or heavy drama to put a spotlight on them, we’ll watch them no matter what. Ri, C*****ie, Remy, Halle, Mel B take note. These are the qualities sensible black men want.
gee another veiled stab at beyonce.
bossip where would you be without beyonce?
ha ha hah hahahah
THIS is a gorgeous cover, not that other one.
She is beautiful. If she is a dyke I will do my damness to make her straight
Boooooooooooooooooooooooo, they airbrushed the hell out of her pizza face *****. You people need to stop, she looks like a pile of white plastic on here, lol!
Alicia’s Nose is look REAL Caucasian in this pic. Now she HAS had a nose job, but this pic is ’shopped like WHOA (Yes, I said ‘Like Whoa’)
love it. you guys didn’t post the pics from inside the mag. or the ones from inside complex. I’ll send them to you.
PS. Alicia ain’t have no damn stroke. He grandmother did and died a few months after. Media take out needs to be shut the hell down
IM A FAN OF AK….BUT THIS ISNT HER…THIS IS PHOTOSHOPPED TO DEATH…ITS RIDICULOUS…HOMEGIRL DOESNT HAVE THE BEST SKIN…BUT SHE LOOKS LIKE A DIFFERENT PERSON…ESP…WITH THOSE PICS THAT CAME OUT LAST WEEK WITH NO MAKEUP ONE…
AS FAS A CLOTHES GO…PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SELLING SEX SINCE DAY 1…WHY STOP NOW
THE PIC IS GORGEOUS…but is it a cartoon character? because yeah it isnt Alicia!
Whoever is the dumb***** who said she takes great pics is really a dumb *****…..The original pic could have looked like anything…The editors created this pic..not Alicia actually posing!
AIRBRUSH AWARDS!!!
The artist doesn’t have that much control over what the mag does to the pic after they take it. if they want to airbrush it, how is that alicia’s fault?
@Harlem Chic,
did you just use the word speculatively? Dont you have some chicken noodle soup to microwave. Get outta here.
OMG
no one does photoshop and airbrushing like Sophisticate Black Hair magazine. I am convinced they use different heads for different bodies.
this pic is one of her best i’ve seen
Gurl looks GOOD! Haters, keep on hatin’
***** some people don’t look good with even photo shop.Post a picture of Whoopi Goldberg photoshopped she still gone look the same.
Oh, Alicia look gorgeous.
she looks beautiful..Do it Alicia!
pure cl***** without showing her a@*
please, please, PLEASE stop boring me with this “Alicia Keys is so super” coverage. IDGAF!!
TATERS
Whoever is the dumb***** who said she takes great pics is really a dumb *****…..The original pic could have looked like anything…The editors created this pic..not Alicia actually posing!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
That is what you typed.
Why can’t I have MY opinion of the picture without your name calling? Too ignorant to diasgree without reducing it to name calling OK. Well…..
***** you—-you ignorant *****!
YOU can politely….
KISS MY *****!
Airbrushed or not, it’s a beautiful picture! Lol!
LMAO @ whoever said that HALLE BERRY needs to take notes from A. Keys and Beyonce. LOL!! Boo, Halle Berry set the BAR that all those chicks are following. With all due respect, Halle is a grown ***** woman, she is not worried about neither one, because can’t neither one see her with 20/20 vision. When it comes to black woman in that business, Halle is ranked #1, so just get over it already. Without the fame and make up, she would still be a beautiful woman. Don’t be mad at her, be mad at her genetics. I swear the ignorance on the Internet kill me. Let’s leave Halles name out of it. SMH, LOL!
Anyways, Alicia looks great, regardless if she’s airbrushed or not. Beyonce stays airbrushed to death and noone says nothing, so lets let Alicia have her shine. Her talent speaks volumes and she has an effortless beauty that most in that business wished they had. Love her!
***** some people don’t look good with even photo shop.Post a picture of Whoopi Goldberg photoshopped she still gone look the same
i don’t understand what’s ugly about whoopi goldberg.
i find it funny how people get all emotional over the look of some *****ing celebrities.
some of you have been brainwashed by the music indudstry to point where people cannot express their opinions without being labeled a “hater”. how original!
it’s funny because these people aren’t even thinking of you all. they’re just making money off of you crazed mother*****ers.
She looks absolutley gorgeous!!!!

I like AK magazine photos are supposed to look good no one would but them if she had no make up on. I love her as an artist but I hate that No One song. It is so off key and that oh-a-oh at the end makes me ears bleed. It is not good quality. She was trippin like I don’t know how to end this song. It’s crazy.
I like AK too. But, why are y’all trippin’like this photo is so au naturale and this is just straight up the real AK? We know from other photos that ain’t all her hair either, and this pic has been airbrushed to the max! To this and all magazine covers, I say, whatever.
That’s because it looks like someone put her head on backwards! Are those her SHOULDER blades, or her *****?? If she had more boobage going on, they would’ve accentuated that and ya’ll would be calling her a ***** like all the rest of them.
Alicia looks beautiful on this cover end of discussion in my opinion.
*DEAD* @ half these comments on the board..lol
holla charchar!
O.K i get it Alicia Keys is a cl*****y woman but lets b real….she is not better than Beyonce as an artist or an entertainer and i feel like everytime they do an A. Keys story they take a cheap shot at Beyonce’
That’s because it looks like someone put her head on backwards! Are those her SHOULDER blades, or her *****?? If she had more boobage going on, they would’ve accentuated that and ya’ll would be calling her a ***** like all the rest of them.
LMAO…that ***** was funny….but true
Alicia Keyes is a real singer. Now I like Bey but putting Bey in the race with Alicia I mean why, they are on two different pages Bey hollas in the same tune and Alicia is a natural singer. Putting those two in a race together is just like placing Bey in with Jennifer Hudson a dead end road. But yall can put Bey in with RiRi! lol
Who cares if it’s real or airbrushed? Every magazine uses airbrushing. NO ONE is perfect. She looks gorgeous so who cares?
LOL Gamma Rsy whats poppin?! For real sum of these comments are harsh, callin AK plastic skin, pizza face lol, i think the pic for what it is- looks great. Its just that she blatantly does not look like that in real life. Shes still a pretty girl tho. Bringin out her Italian sexy side in this one! Damn she got one deep voice tho aint she?!
Once again. Another thread that has nothing to do with Beyonce, turned into her again. Well at least yall are consistent
1. YES IT IS AIRBRUSHED BUT I CAN *****URE YOU, ALL CELEBRITY PICS ON MAGAZINE COVERS, ALBUM COVERS, PUBLICITY SHOOTS ARE PHOTOSHOPPED. ANYONE WHO CLAIMS OTHERWISE IS A COMPLETE LIAR AND DOESN’T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT!
2. SHE HAS HAD A M*****IVE AND VERY OBVIOUS NOSE JOB. SHE HAD IT AROUND THE AGES OF 16/17 JUST BEFORE SHE ENTERRED MUIC PROFESSIONALLY. BEFORE THAT, SHE HAD A REALLY BIG NOSE. EVEN AS AT THAT I WILL STILL ASK SO WHAT? MANY OF YOU ON THIS BOARD WOULD HAVE NOSE JOBS IF YOU COULD AFFORD TO.
3. AK IS A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN WHO HAS LEARNT HOW TO BE SEXY WITHOUT BEING *****TY BUT PLEASE LEAVE ALL THESE VERY PREDICTIVE BEYONCE REFERENCES OUT OF THIS STORY. MUST U LOT BRING HER INTO EVERYTHING? IF SHE HAD BEEN THE ONE ON THIS COVER WOULDN’T YOU ALL COMPLAIN ABOUT HER SHOWING TOO MUCH OF HER CHEST? PLEASE GIVE IT A REST. I AM NOT MUCH OF A BEYONCE FAN BUT ALL THIS SILLY HATERATION HAS GOTTEN TOO OBVIOUS AND WAY TOO PATHETIC!
Fair point@foxycleo, evry1 gets airbrushed, its only to be expected and tbh if i was on a mag cover, the last thing id want is to have my funky ***** spots all over the place! But then to look at a pic and say that person doesnt even look like themselves is that a good thing or a bad thing? Also this AK vs she-who-shall-not-be-named is truly unnessecary. Its natural to make comparisons but then they are two diffrent ppl wiv their own style etc altho i admit AK adding the big weaves and tight dresses to her style sort of adds fuel to the fire. But mayb shes trying sumthin diffrent, good for her, every girl likes to straighen her hair and sexy up her drs code, cant hate her for that. As long as she doesnt start doin exaggerated dance routines ie. walkin like a supermodel then randomly fallin on the floor like she tripped on a banana skin and pushin out her behind lol she’ll be alright in my eyes. Ah the debate continues!!
Well, this looks like a magazine marketed to upscale white readers so of course the art director is going to “whiten” Alicia up.
Just like Harper’s Bazaar airbrushed Kate Winslet and Glamour gave America Ferrara a new body, these magazines have to present a perfect facade for readers to want to pick up. Even when Mo’Nique is on the cover of magazines they rarely show a full body shot–frequently a close-up of her face. It’s all about attracting people.
I think Alicia looks great…She’s very cl*****y and talented…All these things about being a lesbian and stuff…Personally I think it’s none of our business and as long as her personal life doesn’t affect her work…I think if she is…she’s probably hiding it because she will lose her straight audience…donno…it’s not my job to judge her or speculate anything…I like her music and I like this mag cover
I’d let her play my piano.
She reminds me of Aaliyah in this pic….
She doesn’t do the sexy poses because she can’t. She probably wouldn’t look right doing it because she is so boyish.
Looks like someone created some ***** on Alicia for this cover.
See the magic of airbrushing celebrities here.
1. Click “portfolio” at the top
2. See Halle Berry, Beyonce, Justin Timberlake without the wonders of airbrushing.
Alicia looks gorgeous….I had heard that she was going to be playing the role of Lena Horn….these pics really show that she looks alot like her
1st cl***** all the time
I guess no matter what the situation there is always going to be that one person that has something negative to say. Who cares if she’s a lesbian in her personal life, so what if she has added a little weave in her hair and yes the average person does have acne skin issues. Let’s just be grateful that she’s been in the game this long and has enough respect for herself not to show too much and appear scantily clad. She is a very beautiful young lady inside and out. Give a rest people!
Did someone mention she might be playing the role of Lena Horne? Well, I can see her pulling that off!
Good Luck to you, AK!!!!
STUNNING!!!!
A KEYS is definately doing big things in the 07 and is making it rain on the hoes and haters!!!!!
In the words of Martin Lawrence from Martin, “YOU GO GIRL!!!”
And if she plays the role of Lena Horne, It will be mo money mo money mo money for her!!!!! I HALLA!!!!
Alicia is so gorgeous! I’m glad she finally embraced a softer, prettier side!
