After Hova officially blew down MSG for the umpteenth time on 9/11 (he's like a young Marvin in his hey), one question was left lingering on many a mind: was or was that Alicia Keys stunt double going for dolo on "Empire State of Mind"? Plenty were asking, but none were answering, so we put our investigative cap on and sent the Complex interns detectives out to find out something about Bridget Kelly.
The 21-year-old Roc Nation signee and NYC local (she graduated from LaGuardia H.S. in Manhattan, the place that Fame was based on) is obviously easy on the ears, and it turns out she's not so hard on the eyes, either. The resemblance to our girl Ms. Keys is a good start, but we went one better and scrounged up some clips of B.K. going hard. Listen, learn, and fall in love...
