I honestly think Alicia Keyes is a butch, and her label dressed her up like a girl to clean up the gay rumors. Alicia looks uncomfortable in her girlish clothes. Do you all remember when she first came out? She was all cornrows, like the prisoners wear their hair, and she wore pants/jeans all the time.
The gay rumors come out, and she turns around and starts dressing up like a girl...You never see her out with a male date or anything. In her video with Usher, she looks extremely uncomfortable as Usher gets up close to her. Read the body language. She's definitely on my list for being an in-closet gay. It would hurt her career if she came out.
