Alicia Keys - Reminisces on her Beginnings with HP

Alicia Keys shares how and where her first album "Songs in A Minor" was created. It's a very insightful look into the beginnings of this incredibly talented artist. This video was created by HP in a campaign for HP Computer’s Everybody On. The campaign aims to demonstrate how people around the world use HP products and technology to pursue their personal and professional dreams.


Besides revealing her beginnings in Harlem in a small one bedroom apartment, Alicia Keys also talks about the ‘Alicia’s Keys’ virtual piano computer software and how she “loves” that HP let’s people listen to her music in the way that she intended.

Alicia Keys is nominated for three Grammys in the categories of "Record of the Year", "Best Rap/Sung Collaboration", and "Best Rap Song". The Grammy Awards will air tonight.

#Best of 2010: 10 Most Memorable Beauty Moments

And just like that Glamazons, we're already on to a New Year! (2011..woo hoo!) I still can't even believe that 2010 is almost over! Can you?! I remember when it started and I swore up and down to myself that I was going to change up my hair color (yeah, it's still blonde, but I love it so!) and do more sophisticated things such as wear a new lipstick shade every day. And, in true New Year's resolution forms, I did either none of or some of the above for a couple of weeks before my attentions focused onto something else more important like figuring out to destroy Crow's Feet or elongating my lashes.
While there was no shortage of ideas running through my head, there were also several moments in which celebrities (and psuedocelebrities) must have been doing the same thing! ("Same thing" meaning that that they did some rather defining things this year in the world of beauty as well.) Let's have a look at them, shall we? Side note: I'm counting down backwards because it's so much more fun than going forwards, right? hahaha



#10. The smokey eye made a big comeback! OK, it never really went away, but we saw several various forms of it, some beautiful and others half psychotic looking.



Here's an example of what I mean by half psychotic crazy looking (ahem Taylor Momsen)



And here's a beautiful, breath-taking example worn by the queen of smokey eye herself, Kim Kardashian.


#9. Bubble gum pink isn't just for your nails anymore.





No matter what the skin tone (or age!) celebs were seen all over the red carpet rocking this super cute shade. I personally hate the color pink, but I couldn't help but to get swept up into the trend myself.






And then Nicki Minaj launched her very own shade with MAC Cosmetics (Pink Friday anyone?) and it quickly became one of my fave shades of lipsticks. So fun!


#8. Rihanna stunned us all by dying her hair color this flaming shade of red...and then commenced to go bananas with hairstyles by changing it from semi-shaved short to straight up short to long to dark brown (huh?) and back to short and red again.




We can't forget about this classic photo below RiRi tweeted of herself after burning her forehead with a curling iron. I can't tell you the number of times that I've done the same smh....










#7. The fashion world was shocked to see that GASP Naomi Campbell really is bald!





OH and Britney Spears still is, too. Weave can't always work wonders, ya know...





#6. While most of still aren't sure why Ke$ha thinks it's ok to strut around wearing blue makeup she apparently doesn't really care what others think. (I know this for a fact because she said so herself at a concert I attended of hers once.) From blue eye makeup to blue lips, this quickly became her signature shade (although I don't think it ever really caught on with the rest of the world, but that's ok, I guess).





#5. It seems as if 2010 was the official year to launch a celebrity fragrance which kind of either really got you excited or made you think this must be the latest ploy in celeb land to get people to pay attention to you.



Jennifer Aniston named hers Lolavie and during interviews wouldn't even reveal the true meaning of the name! If this was an attempt of hers to be secretive and confuse the population into thinking that she actually had depth, then it failed miserably. Two seconds later, she re-named it with her name (shocking!) and the rest goes into "Whatever happened to that fragrance?" history.



Eva Longoria somehow even came up with her own signature scent (although she's really "allergic" to most perfumes) promising that all women everywhere could wear hers (regardless of allergies). Serious side eye.


No matter what the gimmick, no one could beat out the sales or generate as much buzz as Beyonce did with her first fragrance, Heat. (She's got a second one called Heat Rush slated to make its debut by February 2011.)





Also, we can't forget about Mary J. Blige (who hooked up with Carol's Daughter) to launch her scent, My Life, which went on to sell the most bottles of fragrance in history on live television when she hit the HSN airwaves. (It made my 2010 to be there to witness all of this greatness!)



And yeah, Katy Perry launched a pretty delicious smelling one called Purr, but I'm looking forward to smelling what Lady Gaga is cooking up in the kitchen with Coty. (Although we may be waiting a while on it because rumor has it that it won't hit shelves until Spring 2012..sigh.)





#4. High tower hair! Some of it looked really good. Exhibit A: this picture of Janet Jackson from the Met Gala...



And some of it looked...well, um....kind of interesting (ahem Jennifer Lopez and Alicia Keys)








#3. Actress Emma Watson officially wrapped up filming the Harry Potter flicks and then cut off all of her hair! It could have very easily turned into a crazy moment (a-la that time Britney Spears shaved her head..yikes!) but instead turned out looking very GLAM indeed!



#2. I know, I know, I already mentioned her above (ahem, Kim Kardashian) but you can't talk about big beauty moments and not mention the Kardashian Clan. In one year alone, they managed to single-handedly dominate the beauty scene (Kim even presented at the CEW Beauty Awards!) and I used every single product. From the Kim Kardashian fragrance...



to the self-tanner....



yes, Glamazons, I did it all and can't wait to see what the Kardashian clan comes up with next! Rumor has it that they're working a complete "beauty line" but don't know whether that includes just cosmetics, skincare, hair or all of the above. (And no, I'm not a STAN...I just happen to really like their products, ok?!) I'm super interested in finding out exactly how much $$ these gals managed to rack in with all these beauty deals..hmmm.....


#1. Lady Gaga showed up at the 2010 MTV VMA's rocking a piece of red raw meat on her head that perfectly matched her red lipstick! While she definitely wins for the most interesting beauty looks of the year, this one takes the cake. I remember seeing it on TV and my jaw actually dropping hahaha.





Now that you know my most memorable beauty moments of the year, it's only fair for you to share yours below in the comments section!

GLAM OR SHAM?: Alicia Keys' Pompadour Beehive Hair 'Do

Hey Glamazons! Ugh. To say that I'm exhausted is a serious understatement. I know, I know, I've been saying that a lot lately...but it's true! A woman needs some sleep!
However, before I hit the hay, I must get your opinion on this hair 'do Alicia Keys is rocking.
Can anyone explain to me exactly what this even is?! I mean, as you know, I'm all about a pretty updo but this is..ahem...kind of out there. Of course, Alicia looks gorge (as always) but I wonder what exactly her inspiration was for creating this look.
Does anyone else want to copy it?! Let's talk about it in the comments section below.

Lipstick Of The Moment: This Dark Berry Shade Worn By Jennifer Hudson

I know, I know, we totally already discussed the Keep A Child Alive Ball Friday.
However, it wasn't the fact of Alicia Keys performing with Sade that blew me away (I lie. It blew me partly away) but the fact that Jennifer Hudson's makeup and hair looked like this!
I think it's only fair that we get a closer look at it:







Due to my extensive stalker-like research on Twitter, I found that her makeup look was created by none other than the amazing Sam Fine! He twitpic'd this photo of her getting the finishing touches added to her hair before hitting the red carpet at the event:



Not only is that body banging (get it Jennifer!) but you have to admit that she did a complete 360 from the beauty looks of her early days. Here she is at the event last year in London:







Wouldn't you agree, Glamazons? But, back to the dark berry color above: not only is it the perfect shade for her skin tone, but it's also the perfect lipstick shade for fall. Ooooweee! Talk about some beauty inspiration. I looove this! As a result, I've been going through my collection of berry lipsticks and debating as to which shade I should start rocking. While I do that, you should totally check out (and buy!) some of my current faves on the market right now:


More NARS...





What do you think, Glamazons? Do you love this lipstick shade on Jennifer just as much as I do?! Who else plans on rocking the berry lipstick look this fall as well?

GLAM OR SHAM?: Sade, Alicia Keys, Beyonce, Jennifer Hudson and More at the Keep A Child Alive Black Ball

The stars were out for yesterday's Keep A Child Alive Black Ball at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City, and I have to say this is one event I hate to have missed! Not that I had money for the ticket which I heard cost $50,000 a seat! And not that I was terribly bored yesterday (I was hanging out in Miami for a blogger event I threw for my job! But more on that later...).

I'm mad I missed it because Sade and Alicia Keys performed one of my favorite songs, "Love is Stronger than Pride." Sigh. Live vicariously like me through the video below.

The red carpet was just as exciting! Check out the looks I loved below and vote for your favorite!

Beyonce wore a fuschia gown by Andrew GN which featured a sweetheart neckline and draping at the waist. Not a fan of the color, but love the natural makeup on her.







Alicia Keys chose a gray printed gown with gathering around her baby bump.






She wore Indian headdress again (similar to her look at her wedding to Swizz Beatz) and her hair in an elegant bun.






These two stay with the Sears photo poses. Cute (I guess).







Jennifer Hudson showed off her svelte figure in a velvet, curve-hugging dress, strappy stilettos and sexy, dark lips. Gorgeous!






Whitney Houston gave us a head of wild, unkempt curls and a short black dress. She was...umm...animated on the red carpet. Not her best moment.






Uma Thurman wore a burgundy gown with asymmetric stripes around the waist, a crystal brooch and clutch and a leopard print cardigan. Yikes. Not elegant or polished at all.







June Ambrose continued her turban moment from New York Fashion Week in a black turban and a gown with a sequined black top and blue skirt with floral embroidery. What a fun, high-fashion and exciting look! I'm a fan.






Sade stole the spotlight (in my opinion) in a white gown with a plunging neckline and diamond embellishment. She paired it with her signature flowing black locks and siren red lips. Does it get more beautiful than this?






Vote for your favorite: Who was MOST GLAM?




Who was MOST GLAM at Keep A Child Alive's Black Ball?
	Beyonce
	Alicia Keys
	Jennifer Hudson
	Whitney Houston
	Sade
	Uma Thurman
	June Ambrose

GLAM OR SHAM?: Wedding Weekend: Alicia Keys' Vera Wang Wedding Gown and Tiny's Valentino Wedding Gown

Love, and labels, were in the air this weekend.

As we previously reported, Tiny got married to T.I. in a lavish celebration, one of three scheduled engagements. Her over-the-top, princess Valentino gown did give me a Wow moment minus the chest tattoos (sorry ladies, I just don't love them).





But the embroidered tulle detailing on the bust and ruffles around the bottom of the dress are so gorgeous! Tiny paired it with an elegant diamond necklace and a veil with a crystal headband. She gave long, flowing hair under the veil. Loove! The groom wore an all-white white tux and glasses. Awww.








The bridesmaids wore black strapless dresses with sweetheart necklines and platinum sashes and matching diamond necklaces. Classy and chic.







Alicia Keys also tied the knot with Producer Swizz Beats in a simple, elegant one-shoulder Vera Wang gown that showed off her baby bump.



























I love the draping and the silver embroidered detail on the shoulder.



























She paired the gown with diamond studs, a beautiful headdress and Christian Louboutins.

The groom wore a pink, ruffled button-down shirt, black bow-tie, Aviator sunglasses, white jacket, black pants and white studded Christian Louboutin shoes. Hmm...ok, what matters is love but Swizz' outfit is giving me Easter Sunday. Yikes.
























I DO love that her hair is off her face in an elegant bun. Very pretty!































What do you think of Tiny and Alicia Keys' wedding gowns? Glam or Sham? Do you have a favorite?

Kisses,

Coutura
