Super Hot AND Super Heroine

Is there anything Alicia Keys cannot accomplish?

I mean, she's the golden child of the R'n'B crowd and continues to garner respect from a diverse group of musicians and music lovers alike; she dedicates time and funds to invaluable social causes across North America and the globe at large; and, as regular readers will note, she has achieved one of the most elite statuses within the Harem of Miz Moffatt.

And then, she releases a queertastic video experience for her latest single, "Try Sleeping With a Broken Heart."

I'm convinced she found out I was a lil' under the weather which led her to create this video:

Some general comments and first impressions:

• Purple, satin sheets --> *Drool*
• Is it just me, or did wardrobe intentionally dress her like a gay gal for the first part of this video? I mean, tank top: Check. Dog tags: Check. Rockin', studded jacket: Check. Aviators: Oh, sweet goodness, double check. Tough femmes -- you understand the attraction now, right?
• "Have you ever tried sleeping with a broken heart? Well, you can try sleeping in my bed" -- No need to ask twice, ma'am.
• It is a little known fact that Ms. Keys possesses the power to bring creatures back from the dead. I know. Those fingers aren't just magical with the piano, you know.
• Oh, motorcycle. Again, anyone else seeing those queer connections? Yes? I mean, you just need to tell me she's co-writing a song with Tegan and Sara and my head will explode from it all.
• PURPLE UNITARD. BRAIN.... SHUTTING DOWN... CAN'T ...CONTINUE.... TO WRITE..... *Enters a lust-induced coma* The woman has kickin' curves, what can I say?
• Wow, tears that can crush glass? Awesome.

I know the video never adequately explains WHY Alicia Keys commands the Gift of Life. And it doesn't provide details about why she leaps on top of buildings (perhaps to amplify her voice?) but.... well, I don't care. It's implied she's a super heroine and she wears a skin-tight unitard. I don't need further explanation.

Though, I find the inspiration for her character to be intriguing. I mean, she's quite literally the love child of Rogue from X-Men and The Phantom. She got her inability to touch her lover (and thereby drain his life force) from Mama and she got her idea for the bright purple unitard from Papa. Makes perfect sense in a weird, "I don't want to think about this too deeply" kind of way.

Hmm. Whatev. I ask rhetorical questions to amuse myself. Really, I should just press "Repeat" on that embedded video up there.

I suggest you do the same.
