And we're not just talking about her records! The 27-year-old singer has a heart of gold too, as she spent most of the day on Thursday hanging out with and talking to the students of Frederick A. Douglas High School in New Orleans, Louisiana. The best part? An hour long surprise acapella performance to top it off!

As part of the Lexus Presents the Alicia Keys “As I Am” Tour, the Grammy-winning songstress and Lexus launched “Keys to Innovation,” a program celebrating and honoring inner city high schools across America that have successfully implemented innovative environmental programs. Lexus and Alicia even handed a check to the school to keep up the program as well as chance to submit an action plan to win an extra $10,000 for the school program.

She is more beautiful every time I see new picture. This hairstyle suits her best. There was one time I reaally wished she hit it off with Usher..but..oh well.. I guess Usher could not see clearly at the time. She is talented, down to earth and pretty.
She is a good catch for a special man.

I am just a bit curious...Her profile was found on millionaire dating site 'BillionaireCupid.com' last week. I heard she just broke up with her boyfriend! I am wondering what kind of relationship she is looking for on that site!

5:32 you mean niggers right? 7:43 alicia is a self hating bi-racial woman who has constantly said things that have been racially divisive. 50 cent said it best. she is a complete sell out, just like oprah. everything they do is to please white people. if she had not said anything that was wrong then she would not have had to apologize for the comments she made about the government having created gangster rap music so rappers could kill one another. she, like oprah are always quick to apologize and seek the forgiveness of white people rather than stand by their words and actions.

According to an interview in the magazine’s May issue, the 27-year-old singer says: “`Gangsta rap’ was a ploy to convince black people to kill each other. `Gangsta rap’ didn’t exist.” She also is quoted as saying that she wears a gold AK-47 pendant around her neck “to symbolize strength, power and killing ‘em dead.”

“We stand by our story,” Blender spokeswoman Kate Cafaro told The Associated Press on Tuesday.

7:43 You're exactly the kind of complete moron destroying the fabric of our "culture" these days. To say she can not be racist due to her racial make-up is totally stupid. To excuse whatever comments she may or may not have made because she's attractive betrays your utter bankruptcy of intelligence. Go watch some more television and shut up.

well i lost all respect for alicia ak47 when she came out with her racist views on how the gov created gangsta rap so blacks would kill each other, she must be going to the same church as obama and angry michelle america is a mean country obama.

She is a very classy talented person.
I'm happy she did not become a whore like most of the young kids that start out in this business. It's a mystery why people would hate her. Some of these post prove that racist people do exist and we will never be rid of the kind of destorted ignorant thinking they produce.
I'm happy to know that there is a massive amount of people that don't believe as they do and will not follow the ricist. There is some hope for the world.

Though I don't believe in her rap theory, I think she is not only a great talent, but stunning. She has a presence that is rarely found in the music industry.

i think alicia is so refreshingly beautiful...i think beyonce is a nigga, no class, in spite of her money...maybe folks like oprah and alicia are sell-outs, as far as blacks think? so what? they want better for themselves and their race and what people think of their race...they are bringing positiveness to the table!!! and not perpetuating this black drug gangster image...I APPLAUDE THEM TO THE MAX...i would love having oprah or alicia as neighbors! i don't even want B and jay-z in my neighborhood, get the fuk out!
