READ THIS. I HOPE IT HELPS!! Ok. It’s truly amazing how we as fans love to believe we are so much a part of a celebrity’s life that we can speak on their situations and know what is right, wrong, true, and false. Pretending to be all knowing is blasphemous, and I’m sure God does not approve. I have two comments—first about the video and then about the drama concerning Alicia and her “affair.” THE VIDEO: I have never been an Alicia Keys fan. I have enjoyed some of her music, but she is not a singer I have gone out of my way to support. That being said, EVEN I get the concept of this video. Listen to the lyrics and watch the video…it’s that simple. In more or less words she is saying “What’s the point of sleeping with a broken heart. Instead it’s better to just remember the good parts of the relationship.” Clearly the song and video tell a story of someone who is able to fix everything else, but when it comes down to fixing the love she once had she cannot do it because it is BROKEN…hence, when she goes to touch the guy at the end his face starts to crack because that (love) cannot be fixed. At the end her tears even crack the picture frame because, once again, the picture represents the relationship/love she once had that cannot be fixed. In all, the video echoes the lyrics of the song about having a broken heart but just needing to let it ago because what’s done is done. THE AFFAIR: Honestly, no one here or outside of the 3 people involved know what has really happened or who is at fault. If anything, both Alicia and Swizz are at fault for seeing each other before his divorce is final. As for breaking up the marriage, no one can say Alicia is the one who did that unless they have stone cold evidence that she was sleeping with this man before hell broke loose in his household. I feel bad for Mashonda, because as a woman you never get married thinking that one day it’s going to end. And let’s not forget that there’s a child involved. Nonetheless, these are people’s personal lives which no one here can really speak on. Be a FAN and stop trying to act like their moral coach or judge. Know your place. Either listen to her music or don’t. Either buy her records or don’t. But as far as dictating what did or did not occur about a situation that you’re not part of…that’s simply pathetic and only shows how much you want so bad to feel like you are a part of someone’s life who you most likely will NEVER meet. I like this song and the video.
