Fail!!!

That poster awoke the sexual awareness to many a youth..

Agree, some things are better left to the original. Kind of like when they tried to introduce the new Coca Cola.

Isn't Alicia Keys father, from whom she is estranged, Jamaican?

Also I think her photo is photoshopped and the one of the Trini is not.

She was for many years. He left the family when she was 2 so she was raised by her mom alone. He basically was a sperm donor. They reunited when her paternal grandmother was ill

apparently she seh dat she always wanted to recreate it or someting suh

[j-kid]

Yes, he is correct, a Trini did it. Mi know har name an all. However, a Jamaican could easily have done it. We certainly have more than enough capable beauties in the island. Don't know why they chose her, may have bin just ah modeling ting at the time, or somebody knew somebody, who knew somebody. Yuh know how dat goh inna di islands?
