Alicia Keys is Woofin’
Posted by Bossip Staff
The beautiful and talented Alicia Keys has been on the cover of a bunch of magazines recently and is on featured on the December ‘07 issue of the Japanese publication Woofin’ Girl. Her album “As I Am” has debuted in the number one spot.
A Keys also showed her support for the writers on strike in LA giving them an impromptu performance. She stated:
“I’m here in support of this cause. … I don’t believe there’s anything we can’t do if we stand together. I want you to know I am a writer too.”

Nice Pic……
Cute jacket on the cover of the magazine.
Just a beautiful girl. period.
That jacked is fiyah….Get em Alicia.
I love the cd. Alicia Keys is so beautiful!
BEAUTIFUL
thats my girl.
that strike caused not one but 3 of her appearances to be canceled. so what did she do? she said Hell, i’ll just performed for the strikers! lol that was really nice of her.
congrats to her for the #1 album in the country with 742k copies sold!!!
i love Alicia Keys!
Now that’s what I like to hear.
I just cant get into to A. Keys. I did some reasearch and she reminds me a lot beyonce. Loves to tout their writing but when you look at her credits and she the third and fourth writer. Translation? She adds a couple of ooos and ahhs and a few ‘the’’s. Give me Mariah and Amy Winehous. At least when they write collaboratively, they are first on the list.
eff those writers, I saw like 2 black writers on the news picketing, they need a more diverse workforce
so what made Alicia think that those writers wanted a performance? If I am on a strike for my job the LAST thing I want is for someone to break out in a song in front of me.
Nice try Soror…but let’s bring them some food and water next time.
If Alicia ain’t gay I don’t know who is.
and another thing….
BOSSIP: Do we really need to every magazine cover that a black celeb is on? Next time have the story about her singing for the strikees as the headline and then thumbprint the magazine cover.
Are yal hiring? I could work as an editor.
She reminds you of who? She plays a piano? She can read and write music? She has her own hair? She sings instead of rolling around the floor and flicking her hair they are so different I dont know where that came from. Them as performers is two seperate kettle of fish! Alicia Gay straight whatever gurl – always a pleasure listening to you! Mwa
Beautiful Alicia. Big up everytime my girl.
Squad Up!
I like the hair and pic on the magazine cover! Nice. But I hate that other, old-fashioned, hideous hairdo she been sportin’ lately.

i heard 1st week sales over 700k!!! Um…. Beyonce who?
She is beautiful and gorgeous! I saw her profile on millionaire and celebrity dating site millionairefriends.com. Charlie Sheen found his match there.
yall r funny. Alicia has never once been the 4th or 5th writer on her own song. lmao. she writes with kerry, harold, sometimes erika rose. on this album it was linda perry and john mayer. but never all at once lol! its always just her or one other person. not to mention she actually writes the music as well.
That was a really beautiful thing for her to do, and I love that jacket she was rockin! Her new album is what that is… so NO surprise it took the number 1 spot!
Agree with Ashley and Mariah I beliveed never really wrote her own matieral maybe vocal arrange but that’s it. Amy Winehouse collaborated with Mark Ronson as well…lol..but nah A.Keys does writes and produces with Harold Lilly and Krucial Keys
oh yeah well good for A.Keys girl that was nice of her to perform for the writers they need love and support too.
Alicia is gay, and if not then why does she choose the ugliest man she can find? Becasue she intentionally wants to disappoint herself so that when she hooks up with the brat she can say “I tried!”
That Jacket IS the biz!
And who cares if she writes that nonsense. Her music is going nowhere fast. Her audience is just waititng for her to get raunchy. I actually bought the cd…………..bullsh!t
Mrs:
Um…I doubt if that ALL of her hair. She may USE her own her but she has some added.
Thanks,
SayWhat?
HEY ALICIA, GIVE “JEM” BACK HER JACKET !!!!
SO…bossip is moderating comments now? Pray tell, how dare anyone say anything against their dear alicia!
@ Heather
Nah..lol..I see what you saying though about Alicia she has collaborated with so many people..but she doesn’t solely take credit because she has always shouted out the people she worked with..esp her man krucial..so yeah I don’t mind people sayng anything mean about Alicia or has an unfavorable opinion of Alicia..it’s all good..but Amy Winehouse has collaborated with some writers herself..she has co-writers too..esp with Mark Ronson..and Mariah as well
beautiful & talented – i dont need 2 say more
Alicia Keys is incredible and her new album is so amazing, I can’t stop listening to it!! Did you see her performance at the American Music Awards? She killed it!
@ ko
747K to be exact!! lol
lol. i mean 742K. i got jets on the brain lol
This lady played @ the house of Commons (big ben) 2 u guys infront of the governing parties and they loved her- do you know how good you HAVE to be to have that opportunity, that priviledge? Be proud of her, us.
i wonder what woofin’ means, lol
what makes Alicia “so real” versus the other female singers
1-she has a weave like them
2-she wears lots of make up like them
3-that fake ghetto talk (come on she is from Hell’s Kitchen not Brownsville or Bed Stuy)
4-her heavily borrows her melodies and lyrics from past songs and cliches
Alicia is talented and all but y’all act like she is the new “old Lauryn Hill” or something
i wasn’t really feeling her album in the beginning, but somehow it just crept up on me and now i have diff songs from it in my head all the time. A. Keys has got some really touching lyrics on this new one. She really is a very refreshing artist. period.
oh! and she missed 3 performances!
sad day, when those workers need support she brings music, and of all things her music!
her ’superwoman’ song is so inspiring. i love it!
yawn.
so beautiful
Alicia=beautiful lady…however, this album is the worst of all 3 albums of hers…
Alicia tried to be different but stayed the same…Tried to mix it up, but created old work… Too much YeLLING throughout most of the songs… Alicia is good with a piano, and writing…singing is another thing to me…
I love the song Lesson Learned with John Mayo… other than that, the CD is forgettable…
in the words of 50 Cent
“I need you. I need you to hate me so i can use you for your energy”
get it Lellow!
Alicia looks pretty in those pics but in real life she is not so sweet
No need to hate. I just wish I wouldn’t have spent $16 on an album I will not play…
Shawn this album IMO is a Beautifully put together…the lyrics, voice, and production.
She’s a class act.
shes looks soooo nice
She’s not so cute in the real life, you know…
@Click here, how dya no, hav u met her?
thats crazy! how she gonna do a free show, when she wouldnt even show up at her OWN party cuz the promoter was $4000 short of $15,000??
“the new “old Lauryn Hill”
WELL SAID!!
i wish people would stop calling that shyt HER party. That was a contractual arrangement just like any other show or tour. if one party falters, the other is no long liable. some of yall don’t have jobs, i see
She is so hot!!!
but uh… wtf is a Woofin’ girl?? Damn japs and their slang
@ CLICK HERE that’s just your opinion i saw her and i think she looks more Beautiful in real life.
Pretty and cute! I lover her very much. But I think the pics she posted on her personal ablum at millionaiercupid.com is much better. I lover those pics so much!
What makes her different is you piano playing skills our recognised by more then a typical fan base it is appreciated by various classes and generations- Who else has that effect???????
Some tru alicia haters….Alicia is a beautiful talented young woman who has a genuine beautiful spirt And those who are picking apart things about her and making them negative are probably just some ugly chicks who don’t have the courage to live their dreams….jealsousy!
I think this is the most gorgeous pic of her that I’ve ever seen!
Wow there are some true Alicia haters. People could never be happy for her success and give her the credit she really deserves. In any event, I love that jacket too much. The jacket alone is hot..
She is so gorgeous
@Say What? :”Do we really need to every magazine cover that a black celeb is on?”
woofin’ girl has always featured Black people. it, as well as LUIRE,BLENDA, and Barfout are all Japanese publications that celebrate Black people,culture,fashion and music. you should pick one up, i recommend LUIRE. ^_^
@ It’smesuprise: “i wonder what woffin’ means”
it just means fly…or anything related to the word. woofin’ girl is the sister magazine of Woofin’ which caters to men (same theme tho)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
now onto AK: i have to admit..i’m not that big of a fan of hers and her songs always make my nose feel like a project heater is on full blast..but i will say that ‘no one’ has gotten stuck in my head and a actually like it. also i agree with the fact that she sell enormous amounts without having to slut herself up, and i admire that about her.
Saw her hair when she was braiding it without straightening it, in a magazine, and it looks like she’s got plenty hair of her own even if she adds tracks which all performers do. I jus appreciate the love of music that comes through with her you get the idea that she is it not just for the fortune and fame. Mariah said in an interview that she would be singing and writing songs if she were a make-up artist or something. These women are bi-racial and the people who create the opportunities to make it in the industry are white so in that way they are blessed that they’ve got the upper hand on their dark complected sisters. But they also have been blessed to have the souls of black folks in their blood to be able to craft soul music.
Just another overrated mulata. If she were darskinned like India Arie or Erykah Badu she wouldn’t be ish and y’all know it.
I’m light/beige/yellow etc lol I agree there is favourtism on lighter complexion. It’s sad that this is the case but I do believe she can play clasical music on a piano- thats what we call talent! If she is ugly short fat can’t sing – she can still play a piano and anyone who can deserve cridt for it.
sorry credit- COFFEE
It is so amazing how people over exaggerate Alicia Keys talent, she is too overrated I mean Erykah Badu and Jill Scott can blow her out of the water vocally and lyrically. She is not the only female artists that can play a piano; there are plenty of them out there. I do not understand what is the hype about her writing abilities since her lyrics are common and still immature; she is not an innovative writer. I would rather go for Erykah, Jill and India Ari because of their political consciousness I see their music as a movement than just gimmick. Weezy, thanks for bringing Lauryn Hill up, Alicia is nowhere near Lauryn Hill crack head or not. Still to date there is no female artist that possesses what Lauryn Hill represented Lauryn‘s lyrics were and still intellectual, when she talks, raps and sings you can tell that she is extremely intelligent, well informed and she reads a lot. She was also charismatic and inspiring; she had that IT FACTOR that no one currently possesses in the industry. On Alicia Keys I find her boring with no personality, her heavy make up, skin colour and the weaves she has been rocking lately will work for her, whereas Lauryn did not even need a weave or lighter skin colour to sell more than 20 million copies on the Miseducation alone. I must say I miss Lauryn Hill badly. I hear that she has been dating the guy who produces her albums for the past 6 years; I guess everybody fucks for tracks.
I love Erika Badu, Jill Scott, India Ire they are incredible.
We will never all agree but she is closer to talented then the other overated ones and I love her music!
Ipps, well said i did not know that Alicia is dating the guy who produces her music. Alicia’s music is not original, her voice is not that great and her lyrics are not that great as well. She has not even filled the gap that Lauryn Hill has left in the industry, but one thing for sure she is far much better than most of these young female artists currently dominating the industry and she is worth listerning to.
Yes, Alicia is beautiful. Yes, her hair is real. Don’t really care if she’s gay or straight. NEWSFLASH: Alicia Keys can not sing, there is no soul in her voice whatsoever. Since she reads music so well she should be playing the piano for one of our REAL singers like: Christinal Aguilera, Beyonce, Keisha Cole, Mariah, Kelly Clarkson, Jeniffer Hudson, Faith Hill. Her voice is not even close to Amy Winehouse and Amy is an addict. I wish one of her loyal fans would leave her a post it note and tell her to stop stealing from Stevie Wonder, Prince, and whoever else she copied and ripped off. Her current album there are songs on there that PRINCE did in the 80’s can you say PURPLE RAIN, I even hear DIAMONDS & PEARLS. At least switch it up and put your own spin on it. She even copies the rifts, the falsetto in exactly the same spots. I am tired of listening to her with those RONALD MCDONALD HIPS.
CHRIS – A LOVER OF GOOD MUSIC
She is overated, she’s o.k. She has and never will be able to win any singing contests. Put her in a room with NEO-SOUL artists and see what happens. India Arie, Jill Scott, Eryka Badu, Amy Winehouse, Bilal, Deangelo, Anthony Hamilton, Bilal,…. should I keep going. She is not NEO-SOUL, she has no soul. She just doesn’t have it. It’s a shame that real artists get pushed to the background, for this damn near white girl, with her white roots (literally & figuratively). That is exactly what’s keeping her out in the public “WHITE APPEAL”, she’s just white enough to pass back and forth between whatever culture she chooses at the time.
I MISS REAL ARTISTS
I do not like Amy Winehouse but she sings better than Alicia Keys. Alicia ’s music is not original and her lyrics are immature. I must say WHERE THE HELL IS LAURYN HILL?????
