Lewis said, Of course, she's also a huge celebrity whose star power would help sell tickets for the fundraising event, a former UN Special Envoy for AIDS in Africa.

But Keys is also an extraordinary personality that shows the way forward its own interests.

He added, "I spend a lot of time observing celebrities and there is always, with the exception of (Alicia and fellow performer Angelique Kidjo), there is always a very strong, strong sense of self-aggrandizement and self-promotion," Lewis said Tuesday during a roundtable interview with Keys and Kidjo.

"And with Alicia Keys you get tremendous engagement with the issue with no sense of self-promotion at all — just a decent human being who cares deeply and uses the extraordinary profile she has to give it force in the world.

"And I love that because it's so rare."

Keys and Kidjo were to be added onstage by Canadian musicians K'naan, Rufus Wainwright and Holly Cole.

"Even just your constant commitment, however small or big, that is something that is giving life to someone. If it was your brother, or your mother, or your sister, you would say, 'No, I'm not going to allow them to just die.'"

Kidjo was born in the Republic of Benin in West Africa, he said that sacrifice is no hope that the biggest gift anyone can offer is one.

Kidio said, "I come from a poor country and I know what it is to be hopeful. That's why I have the spirit that I have, because if you don't have that spirit you will die."

"Hope Rising! is a message for every single human being on this planet, we've got to hang on to hope, to be able to help the 10 million people who might not be able to have access to drugs, the 16 million AIDS orphans, we've got to be there."

Keys said that the surprising statistics help AIDS pandemic in Africa to attract attention, this number is more important is can humanizing.

Keys said."These are human beings. You put these numbers out there — 30 million dead, 33 million-plus infected, 16 million AIDS orphans — these are people, this isn't like some dot on a chart".

"It's hard. You get these statistics and numbers and you start to lose the soul of what we're really, really talking about."

Alicia Keys Is Looking For A Few Good Bloggers

2010-04-09T02:08:00.000-07:00

Who among us hasn't taken a look at chart-topping R&B superstar Alicia Keys and thought, "I bet I could go to work for that woman acting as an instrument for the expression of her worldview on the Internet." Keys wants to make those theories a reality, as she is partnering with Monster to find a blogger for a soon-to-launch online property called I Am a SuperWoman.

"It will ignite super women with empowering content, delivering vibrant and optimistic news, opinion, and entertainment at a supersonic pace," reads the statement of purpose on the official Web site. "IAAS (I Am A SuperWoman) will give powerhouses everywhere one source to connect with each other — and the world." It sounds like Keys wants her own version of Goop.

Think you can provide a place for powerhouses to gather? Keys would like to see your resumé. The semi-finalists will go to London for an incredibly elaborate job interview, and the winner will be at work for Keys by July. She isn't just looking for superfans, either. According to the job listing, applicants must have two to three years of experience, a Bachelor's degree and the willingness to be interviewed on television (at least throughout the interview process). It's also not a telecommuting gig — I Am a SuperWoman will operate out of New York City.

Still, it's as cool a contest as we've seen and will probably attract some truly talented people (you know, like "Project Runway").

Alicia Keys: Keys’ Beyonce duet delayed

2010-04-06T02:37:00.000-07:00

Alicia Keys is postponing the release of her much-anticipated collaboration with Beyonce until the summer - so she can put out a track with Canadian star Drake.

The R&B beauties jetted to the slums of Rio de Janiero, Brazil in February to film a new music video for Put It In a Love Song, which they recorded for Key's latest album The Element of Freedom last year.

The promo was expected to air in March but Keys has revealed she's put the song on hold while she makes plans to promote Un-Thinkable (I'm Ready), which features vocals from singer/rapper Drake.

Speaking about her Beyonce duet, Keys tells Rap-Up.com, "Expect it right after my Un-Thinkable video. It's kind of nice that I have such a great video (with) such a great artist in the can. They're going to be able to see the Un-Thinkable video first and then see Put It in a Love Song, but it probably won't come until closer to this summer."

Keys has ruled out inviting Drake to make a cameo in the clip when she shoots it later this month but hopes to collaborate with him again in the future: "He won't be in the video. That's too obvious. (But) he's a great guy. I'm really proud of all the things he's been able to achieve, and we're most likely going to do some kind of remix for the song that'll be really good. There'll be more of me and Drake."

Alicia Keys: Alicia Keys on Being an Artist and a Businesswoman

2009-11-28T14:44:00.000-08:00

Speakeasy caught up with Keys at the launch of the new jewelry line to hear her thoughts about inspiration, jewelry and being a business woman. Edited excerpts are below.

The Wall Street Journal: Tell us about your new jewelry line with the Barber’s Daughters.

Alicia Keys: I [worked on] it with a beautiful artisan named Gisele, and I love how individual the pieces are and [how] they’re meant to inspire the wearer to feel it and love it and get into it.

What got you interested in becoming a businesswoman?

I’ve always been a businesswoman, because there’s no way you can be in the music business and not be a businesswoman. It’s always been a part of ever since I began in music, Since I was 16. I’ve always been very inclined to really just take control of the things that I want to see happen and to really be proactive about it so to extend and to expand into different ventures my entrepreneurial spirit has definitely been calling to me just because there’s so many ways to express yourself and
jewelry is such a beautiful expression, it’s a self expression.

Can you tell us a little bit about your company AK Worldwide?

It’s my hub, it’s my home, it’s my offices that really house everything that I’m doing through music and as it extends outside of music. I really decided that I wanted to invest and architect in businesses that inspire and that is what I realized calls to me. That’s the things that i want to be a part of. AK worldwide gives me an opportunity to explore these ventures, to really be supported while I’m doing it and to do it in the way that I envisioned it from day one so it’s very empowering. I love it, I’m so proud of it and we’re just getting started.

What is your role at AK Worldwide?
Head honcho, baby!

Nice! Can you give us a rundown?
Really what it is is for the visions that i have, the ideas that i have, to have A place they can be developed and fine tuned and executed. I have a great team that’s around me that helps to bring ideas to me, feed me with new thougths, new possibilites that fit into the criteria of what we’re trying to do. It really allows me to take the visions and make them come to life.

How do you work to keep yourself relevant to the world around you?
I’ve always been very conscious about what’s going on in the world and especially in an economy where it’s difficult for all of us, it’s a very difficult time in the world, it’s obviously transitioning in so many ways so I think it’s really important to be sensitive about that and for me, I always have been. I am an everyday woman [that's] just like everyone else out there trying to find their way through this journey, so [in all] the things that I do, I try to reflect that.
