Alicia has decided to break away from what’s comfortable and live life on her own terms.
That’s one of the reasons why she’s still makeup free and now she is hoping people will join her in freeing themselves of gender stereotypes.
People writes:
The 35-year-old singer-songwriter and actress opened up to Allure for its February cover story about how she is tired of hearing how both females and males should behave based on their sex.
“I was so sick of the way women were forced to feel inadequate in many different circumstances or forced to feel insecure by the way we’re portrayed or the way we look,” Keys says of the inspiration behind her new album Here.
As a mom to two boys with husband Swizz Beatz — Genesis Ali, 2, and Egypt Daoud, 6 — the other side of the coin is important to touch on, as well.
“I am so annoyed at the way we force boys to be fake strong — don’t cry, don’t be soft. Let a boy be able to dance!” she says. “Let a boy paint his nails. So a boy wants to paint his nails. Who cares! All these strange, oppressive ideas.”
She is doing the absolute most for attention and it ain’t helping her album sales.
Not. At. All. The good sis is still flopping. Stunts, gimmicks and all.

I think parents should be as supportive as possible as kids figure out who they are but Alicia is just saying this for PR. She’s so self righteous and annoying now.
Agreed.
lmao she tries so hard
She’s so transparent. LOL.
I wish I was on Alicia’s team because I would tell her to cut out this self righteous image she has going on and get back to the music. Yes, her mage took a hit after she was outed as a homewrecker, but she still had enough fans to sustain herelf after that. But now? Nah. Nobody cares about her no makeup gimmick and no one cares about her we are the children gimmick either. It’s just made it hard to like her. People loved her back in the day because her music was good. Now it’s mediocre and people have to suffer through her self righteous interviews left and right. Time to talk less and go back to the studio Alicia.
I think Alicia is done and she will never be as successful as she was. She was singing about women empowerment, but was sleeping with a married man the whole time. So people felt she was fake and wearing no makeup after she finally got her skin clear while pretending it’s some deep thing just cements that she’s still fake. People are turned off.
I wish she would shut her fake a-s up. She always tries to pretend she’s so damn deep and wholesome and wise but was out here f-cking somebody’s husband on some bird sh-t. F-ck out of here.
She’s very pretentious
