[PrettyGirl]

Alicia Keyes is just plain ghetto. That's how little hoodrats who have no sophistication act. They walk, talk, move and act tough (or manly). They don't walk around in heels and dresses primping themselves--they are uncultured. That's why Alicia Keyes is uncomfortable in dresses--she's probably spent most of her life wearing levis, dickie pants, converse and FUBU shirts. Now the chick is expected to transform herself into some sleek African princess? Vanessa Williams she is not.

The luckiest break that girl ever got was being accepted into that music school. People from the hood are talented too, you know...lol Look at all these men in prison who are amazing artists, musicians and singers. They just didn't have Clive Davis meet and promote them.

As far as her hairstyle, cornrows has nothing to do with being gay or being in prison. A lot of African Americans wear cornrows if the don't have the money to get their hair done (permed, weaved, whatever). It's just easier. Alicia may do it because that's what she was used to when she lived in the 'hood. In her case I think it's more of a political/cultural statement. She's proud of being black and wants to 'represent' where she came from. I really don't think it's some mysterious sign that she's gay.

Is she heterosexual or diving for clams, who knows. Personally I don't think so. I just find it ironic that anyone in Hollywood who isn't insecure and doesn't have to have a man every weekend is called 'gay'. How is Alicia supposed to be? Like J.Lo, switching men every year?
