Tirohia te wāhanga i raro nei, kātahi ka whakautu i te pātai i muri mai i te reo kotahi me te wāhanga:  Passage: I te 2006, i wini a Keys i nga Tohu Whakaahua e toru a te NAACP, tae atu ki te Kaitoi Wahine Motuhake me te Waiata Motuhake mo "Unbreakable". I whakawhiwhia hoki ia ki te Tohu Whetu Whetu na te Whare Waiata Waiata. I te Oketopa 2006, i purei ia i te reo o Mommy Martian i roto i te waahanga "Mission to Mars" o te raupapa pouaka whakaata a nga tamariki The Backyardigans, i reira i waiata ai ia i tetahi waiata taketake, "Kotahi Katoa Ko Boinga Here". I taua tau ano, tata ana a Keys ki te mate hinengaro. Kua mate tōna kuia, ā, he nui te whakawhirinaki o tōna whānau ki a ia. I whakaaro ia me "mawhiti" ia, a haere ana ki Ihipa mo nga wiki e toru. I whakamārama ia: "Ko taua haerenga ko te mea tino nui rawa atu i mahia e au mo au i roto i toku ora tae noa ki tenei ra. He wā tino uaua tēnei i a au e mahi ana, ā, kua tae mai ki te wāhi i tino hiahia ai ahau ki te <unk>, i hiahia noa ahau ki te rere atu, i te pono. Ana i hiahia ahau ki te haere tawhiti atu i te mea ka taea. "I puta a Keys i tana kiriata tuatahi i te timatanga o te tau 2007 i roto i te kiriata moepuku Smokin 'Aces, e mahi tahi ana me te kaiwhakaari ko Georgia Sykes i te taha o Ben Affleck me Andy García. He nui nga whakamoemiti a Keys mai i ona hoa whetu i te kiriata; I kii a Ryan Reynolds ki a ia "he tino maori" ana i kii ia ka "raru katoa". Ko te Smokin 'Aces he tino angitu i te tari pouaka, i whiwhi $ 57,103,895 puta noa i te ao i te wa o tana whakaari. I taua tau ano, i whakamoemiti atu a Keys mo tana kiriata tuarua, The Nanny Diaries, i runga i te pukapuka 2002 o te ingoa kotahi, i reira ia i mahi tahi ai me Scarlett Johansson me Chris Evans. Ko te Nanny Diaries he mahinga iti i te tari pouaka, i whiwhi $ 44,638,886 anake i te ao katoa i te wa o tana whakaari. I wheturangitia ano ia hei whetu i roto i te waahanga "One Man Is an Island" o te raupapa whakaari Cane. I tukuna e Keys tana pukaemi studio tuatoru, As I Am, i te Whiringa-a-rangi 2007; i tiimata i te nama tuatahi i runga i te Billboard 200, e hoko ana i nga kape 742,000 i te wiki tuatahi. I whiwhi a Keys i tana hokonga nui rawa atu i te wiki tuatahi o tana mahi, a, ko tana pukaemi tuatoru o te tau kotahi, e hono ana ki a Britney Spears mo te nuinga...  Patai: Ko wai i whakamoemiti ki a Keys mo tana mahi?
