Alicia Keys And Bonnie Raitt Set For Etta James Tribute At The Grammys
Tue Feb 7 2012 by Becky Bain
The late, great Etta James, who died last month at the age of 73, will be honored with a special performance during the 2012 Grammy Awards. Though many artists have contributed stunning covers of James' classic songs, Alicia Keys and Bonnie Raitt have been chosen to tribute the iconic singer during the telecast. We have no doubt Keys and Raitt will deliver a memorable performance, but we must stress the importance of avoiding to spray-tan tight before the show. More »

Oh, and there's more: “I made this song with Nicole Scherzinger that you would never expect,” he said, explaining that his collab with The X Factor judge may only be released online.

Obama Would Like Fergie, Adam Levine & Lea Michele’s Endoresement
Mon Jan 16 2012 by Idolator Staff
Is Obama a huge Maroon 5, Glee, and Black Eyed Peas fan? Maybe, maybe not — but he does want their endorsement on his 2012 re-election. The Commander-in-Chief already has stars like Lady Gaga on his team, but that didn't stop him from releasing a "wish list" of celebrities he'd like on board as he bids for a second term. Amongst names we might easily expect to find here, such as B.o.B., Jay-Z, and Alicia Keys, there are such diverse acts as Arcade Fire, Lady Antebellum, the Jonas Brothers, Janelle Monae, Ricky Martin, Regina Spektor, and Vampire Weekend. (Kelly Clarkson was apparently already spoken for.) Check out the full list of names below. More »

Alicia Keys Composing Music For Broadway
Tue Oct 4 2011 by Becky Bain
Truth be told, when we first heard Alicia Keys was composing the music for a Broadway show, we started imagining a chorus line kick-lining to Keys' "No One". But it looks like we'll have to keep waiting for a proper Alicia Keys jukebox musical, as the artist is simply composing music for the new play Stick Fly, which she's also producing. "As someone who walked up and down this boulevard as a young girl, I cannot describe the thrill of having the opportunity of composing songs for a Broadway show," she said. Watch her discuss the play below. More »
Alicia Keys Debuts “A Place Of My Own” At iHeartRadio Music Festival
Sat Sep 24 2011 by Idolator Staff
Is there a bigger class act in the business than Alicia Keys? Not really. The "Typewriter" singer hit the star-studded iHeartRadio Music Festival last night with a set including a number of her past hits such as "No One" and "Empire State Of Mind Part II." But perhaps the real treat was when the W cover girl announced she was trotting out a brand new song for her fans — "A Place Of My Own." In keeping with what we expect from Alicia, it's a powerful and inspirational piano number about inner strength. Let Alicia invite you to share a place of her own in the live footage below. More »
Nicki Minaj Brightens Up ‘Glamour’ Magazine (PHOTOS)
Thu Sep 1 2011 by Erika Brooks Adickman
Alicia Keys may be on the cover of Glamour, but it’s Nicki Minaj that’s having all the fun in her photo shoot in the October issue. The America’s Got Talent performer’s spread for the lady mag is fierce, frisky and far more fashionable (in our opinion) than what the fly girl sported on the VMA red carpet. Check out her Minajesty in full Barbie mode and tell us which shot of the “Super Bass” raptress you’re digging most. More »
