PERFORMANCE VIDS: Alicia Keys Celebrates The Deluxe Edition Of "Songs In A Minor" On "GMA"

Alicia Keys stopped by "GMA" this morning to talk about the 10th anniversary of her debut album Song In A Minor, which is being re-released in stores today as a deluxe edition with new songs, videos and documentaries about the music.  Get the deets inside...

In addition to performing "Empire State Of Mind Part 2," "A Woman's Worth," "Butterflyz" and "Fallin," Alicia Keys talked to Robin Roberts about her struggles in the industry and what the Songs In A Minor project means to her.

She performed outside the GMA studios sitting at her piano with a small orchestra.


 

We also got a chance to see her wedding band.

 

By the way, Ms. Keys is producing a Broadway play in the fall called “Stick Fly” at the Lyceum Theater.  The play will chronicle the interactions and revelations within a well-to-do black family at its home in Martha’s Vineyard.   

Watch Alicia's interview and performance of "Butterflyz" here:

lol hahaha i went to the

lol hahaha i went to the store this morning to get Beyonce's new CD "4" and didn't even take a second look at this mess. I guess the only way she thought she could keep up with Beyonce would be to rerelease a 10 year old album? Then again when your busy stealing people's husbands and what not, where would you find the time to create a NEW album. smh I used to be a fan until this woman who sings all these girl power songs didn't handle herself properly.

The black community did

The black community did nothing when Chris Brown made insulting jokes about dark skin people on twitter which is viewed by the world. So...... CB took it to another level by calling a couple of dark skin artists APES on twitter. This is the typical scenario of what keeps the black community down. The black community does not put black males in check . If CB was bashed when he had made the dark skin jokes on twitter, he would have never taken the step to attack dark skin people again. DO NOT BUY THE MUSIC OF RAPPERS/SINGERS THAT DO NOT SUPPORT YOU. USE THE MONEY TO BUY THE MUSIC OF BLACK FEMALE ARTISTS LIKE MARSHA AMBROSIUS, JAZMINE SULLIVAN, LEDESI, ESPERANZA SPALDING ETC. The people that control the media do not want black women seen on TV in a positive light, and the black male rappers/singers are a part of this plot. This is why you hardly ever see black women looking classy in videos in 2011.. when that used to be normal back in the 80's. There is video footage of rappers/singers including CB, Fabolous, Trey S. saying that they have COMPLETE CONTROL over which women are picked to be in the videos and how they are presented. So they choose NOT to use black women, and on the rare occasion they use a TOKEN black female.... they make sure that she is on the sideline looking trashy and have the white,latina,brazilian females playing the LEADING LADY looking classy. All latinas, brazilians do NOT consider themselves black regardless of their ancestry. It's not for diversity not for diversity because... why don't they include latino,white, brazilian MEN??? BOYCOTT ALL PEPSI PRODUCTS LIKE AQUAFINA, MOUNTAIN DEW ETC. FOR THE RACIST SUPERBOWL PEPSI MAX COMMERCIAL. Look how they portrayed the dark black female as angry, jealous at a time you hardly see dark females in commercials. THINK. Lauryn Hill just started doing some promo shows and blogs are already portraying her in a negative light. Why don't they report how she thanked her fans, great performances etc. They don't want dark, natural conscious female artists to win. If you think she acts crazy... then why do you support Kanye West, 50, lil wayne, etc when they act crazy? CB was on twitter making jokes about dark skin ppl and dark skin girls. were saying he was only kidding. BE HONEST... if Rihanna or any light skin FEMALE artist made jokes on twitter about dark skin ppl for the world to see you would have bashed her for life. This is why black women do not get any respect from media,rappers etc. You NEVER hold black men accountable for anything. BOYCOTT CB, SLIM THUG,OCHO CINCO, FABOLOUS FOR LIFE. Look how black ppl are telling blk girls to forgive CB....CONDITIONING them to be future domestic violence victims. Do you think J LO, Paris Hilton, KIM KARDASHIAN PARENTS prepared them to accept/forgive abuse? CB is rich. Why don't you teach these blk girls to get their money/education and to NOT have premarital sex which can lead to pregnancy, hiv, AIDS etc. The media,rappers will continue to bash black women as long as you allow it. BOYCOTT EVERYTHING, USE YOUR MONEY TO SUPPORT BLACK FEMALE ARTISTS, BLACK FEMALE BIZ, ETC. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BLACK MALE RAPPERS/SINGERS GAVE AWAY BLACK MUSIC CULTURE ON A SILVER PLATTER. THEY DESTROYED ONE OF THE VISIBLE FORMS OF MEDIA THAT BLACK PPL HAD ...MUSIC. In the 90's, 80's black ppl/WOMEN played a major role in music entertainment...videos setting trends etc. In the 90's we had a several black female groups like en vogue, tlc, brownstone, escape,swv,jade. ...as well as black female singers,rappers, reggae artists. Black people could have dominated the music scene had remain united. No one could have complained that blk male rappers/singers only have black women looking classy in videos. All other races/ethnicities do the same thing. Look at other networks.. white, indian,korean, latin men use the same women in their race for their videos,movies etc. Once THEY realized that selfish black rappers/singers were willing to destroy black women....the MEDIA ran with it. Do you realize the days of black female artists/groups are practically gone FOREVER. No, it's not due to internet downloading. The face of black male rappers/singers have remained the same. They made sure NOT to include any other men. BOYCOTT THEM ALL. EITHER THEY RESTORE BLACK MUSIC CULTURE WITH BLACK WOMEN ...OR DESTROY IT ALL. TELL THEM TO REMOVE THEIR BLACK FACES AND REPLACE IT WITH WHITE, LATIN, INDIAN MEN!!!!!! I don't care what race of women blk men date or marry. The issue is the EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES that they took away from blk women. The black music culture that was built on the blood, sweat,and tears of blk ppl should not used by blk male artists to make money for themselves and invite OTHER WOMEN to PROFIT. reply by BOYCOTT MALE RAPPERS/SINGERS 2:17 pm - Mar 1, '11 BOYCOTT THEM ALL!! Look at all the ppl that are getting mad because I am trying to get black females to open their eyes. You have to remember that every race, cnn fox news ,KKK,ETC comes to blk blogs to stalk blk ppl and get info. DO NOT FALL FOR THE TOKEN DARK/BLK FEMALE ANYMORE! Puffy/Diddy started the latina trend when he started dating J LO IN THE LATE 90'S. Don't believe me....I challenge you to go back and find a latina playing the LEADING LADY in any video B4 diddy put J LO in his Been around the world video around 1997. I tried to get black women to protest back then because I new that other black male artists would start ding the same. Do you realize that if black women had given J LO a fraction of the HATE that you give Rihanna, nicki,and other blk female artists you could have STOPPED the latina, brazilian trend. Again..all latinas/brazilians do NOT consider themselves black regardless of their DNA. I am soooo angry at all the blk women who grew up in the 90's,80's and allowed this to happen! You know darn well that you did not grow up seeing OTHER women in almost every hip hop RandB video. They are attacking the new generation. You have young black girls who have hardly seen any black females looking positive in these videos for their ENTIRE life. They want to keep black women down. That's why every other day their is some random post about how insecure blk women are. It's 2011 and black women you have LOST a lot. Black women had more positive images in the media in the 90's,80's. It's only going to get worse until you BOYCOTT EVERYTHING! Go natural, make your own clothes if you have to. Stop giving the world your money. SUPPORT BLK WOMEN INSTEAD. Diddy's conscious must have bothered him. Yes, dirty money are black .. but look at the LEADING LADY in the videos. They will use a TOKEN black female to keep you quiet. Don't fall for it. IF CB tries to have blk girls in his videos now because his team stays on these posts.... still BOYCOTT HIM, it's too late. LET me see them use black females for the next 10 YEARS LIKE THEY HAVE USED NON BLK WOMEN FOR THE LAST 10. Things should have remained the way they were in the 90's. BOYCOTT 106 and park on BET!!!There should not be any black girls sitting in the audience laughing when BET DOES NOT WANT A BLACK FEMALE TO HOST THE NUMBER 1 SHOW ON A BLACK NETWORK. Rosci said that she is NOT black. BOYCOTT Check your local latin,indian, korean networks. They do NOT EMPLOY BLACK WOMEN. BOYCOTT!!! BET NEEDS A BLACK FEMALE HOST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I still don't understand why black people hate on each other soooo much. Alicia Keys can't be respected by many of you because she is now with a man that was married when they were daiting? SO WHAT! I am sure many of you have been in situations like that so give it a rest. It's not the end of the world. Beyonce's wig is too blonde, she does the same thing over and over. She is boring. For real? She is sexy as hell and not only that she is successful!. Rihanna. She is the devil and she is trash.. For real? She is on top of her game and is very successful as well. Stop HATING! You all should be happy that many black people are doing their thing out there.
