I'm not a huge fan of teasers, especially when the teaser itself poses no excitement. For me, the only artist to successfully pull off an interesting one is Mr. West with "Flashing Lights".But for those of you who are die hard Alicia Keys fans, enjoy.http://amplifiedminds.blogspot.com/2009/10/alicia-keys-vid-teaser-doesnt-mean.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (krys.)2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087778843916081816.post-4467962386632795366Wed, 14 Oct 2009 21:24:00 +00002009-11-12T11:39:28.038-05:00I'M A WALE FAN SO I'M A BIT BIASED....BUT I LIKE.
