Singer Alicia Keys thinks the public are tired of "fake perfection".
The 35-year-old singer says people have grown weary of being spoon-fed a false picture of reality and are now searching for authenticity in all aspects of their lives, reported Femalefirst.
"So much of what we see and consume is so carefully constructed and polished, and I think people are over it. We want the truth, from TV, from government, from wherever."
The New York City-born star admits she used to fret about her appearance and what people would think of her, but says she has learned to become more self-accepting as she has matured.
"Every time I left the house, I would be worried if I didn't put on make-up: what if someone wanted a picture? All of it, one way or another, based on what other people thought of me.
"And I hope to God it's a revolution,'cause I don't want to cover up any more. Not my face, not my mind, not my soul, not my thoughts, not my dreams, not my struggles, not my emotional growth. Nothing.
