Alicia Keys' "gangsta rap" comments were misinterpreted, the R&B songstress says.

In an interview with Blender magazine, Keys, 27, had said that, "The term 'gangsta rap' was so over-sloganized during that time. In so many ways, everyday people as well as the government could have really done so much more to obliterate and eradicate the things that were going on in the community at that time that forced the artists to discuss and talk so strongly what they saw - what they lived with every day."

Alicia Keys has got in touch with her sexual side in her new material.

The singer revealed her manager "popped out of his seat" when he first heard her explicit new record.

Leona Lewis was left "overwhelmed" when Whitney Houston said she was a "baby version" of herself.

The 'Bleeding Love' singer met her "all-time musical hero" at producer Clive Davis' Annual Grammy Party in Los Angeles last weekend, but could barely speak when she was introduced to her idol.
