Alicia Keys Shuts Matt Lauer Down, Pays Homage to Spike Lee and Is The Object of Janet's Desire?

Posted on April 22, 2008 2:00 PM

The video for Alicia Keys third single, Teenage Love Affair, should be ready fairly soon. The clip will be styled after Spike Lee's film "School Daze" which I LOVED and think is a classic. Here's Alicia on the set talking about the song and her current tour.


She also performed the song yesterday on the "Today" show where she also shut Matt Lauer down when he tried to ask her about the Blender quotes. Watch below.



In a recent E! Online interview Janet Jackson admitted she'd crush on Alicia. Peep the excerpt below:

You’ve said it doesn’t bother you if someone says you’re gay or bisexual. So if you were, who would be your top three girl crushes? I don’t know if I have three. I think I would pick Alicia Keys, for sure. I think she’s wonderful.


Hmmm... How do you think Alicia feels about that one?


Let me know what you think about Alicia modeling her new video after "School Daze"? How about how she deaded the Blender talk? Are you feelin Alicia's swag right now? Talk to me y'all!

  • I think that famous people can't say anything that is even somewhat controversial with out the media turning it around and lighting it with the most provocative spin to sell whatever they're selling. Its hard to find out what these people actually think

  • Baby girl has class and Intelligence. That's how you do it. She shut him down! He couldn't harass her because is still liked by most. He would've came off like a scumbag if he pressed her with the question.

  • ya'll talking like alicia shit on matt.. matt is one of the most respected and most distinguished, stand-up journalists out there. did you see how politely and respectfully he brought it up? he knew she didnt' want to speak on it like that so he gave her an opportunity to clear it up.. he wasn't trying to spin shit.. matt actually gave alicia the platform to put it to rest.. some of you are really out of touch. and if you don't know about matt lauer and his credibility as a fair journalist you need to read up on the man

  • I agree, Matt Lauer is a very good journalist and he was being respectful of her.

    If anything, it was obvious that Alicia regrets her comments and was trying to dodge Matt's questions. If Blender got her comments incorrect, then wouldn't she use the opportunity of being on the Today Show to clarify what she really meant? But no, she knew she was in the wrong, so she refused to even answer the question.

  • I still got mad respect for Alicia & I think her shit was most likely taking out of context! The media takes things out of proportion to much & good to see Matt just let it go after Alicia didn't answer the question. Can't wait to see the new video & lmao @ Janet but they both real hot that would be interesting though if they where both bi! Cause everybody & they momma know they both real gorgeous & two of the most beatiful women out there that any of us men would like to be going out with! And to whoever said Alicia last album was wack must be smoking something that was another classic album from her!
