Alicia
Keys has praised Lara
Croft Tomb Raider star Angelina
Jolie for her part in raising awareness of
the plight of millions of refugees across Africa
following her widely publicised adoption of an
Ethiopian girl in 2005. The singer has slammed
criticism of both Madonna and Jolie during a recent
press interview.
According
to Alicia: "I think it's horrible, and I think
it really degrades and tries to discourage people
who do have a voice, who do have power, who do
have money, who have the ability to reach out
to people and get involved in situations. I think
if you make a choice to do something positive,
that shouldn't be diminished. I think that takes
away from what's actually going on."
In November
Keys hosted a concert in New York with supermodel
Iman for Keep
a Child Alive, a charity that provides drugs
for people living with HIV/Aids in Africa, reports
The
Voice.
