Alicia Keys and Beyonce team up for music video

Alicia Keys and Beyonce have teamed up on a song and are shooting the video in the shanty towns of Brazil.

Two of America's biggest singing stars, the girls are currently filming the video for the track Put It in a Love Song, which appears on Alicia's chart-topping album The Element of Freedom.

Wearing a flowing white dress over a swimsuit, Alicia looks beautiful and elegant, compared with the trendy heavy makeup and vibrant colours worn by Beyonce.

Music fans may recognise the location, the Morro Santa Marta shanty town in Rio De Janeiro, as it was also featured in the video for the Michael Jackson hit They Don't Care About Us.

The local Brazilian media has stated that Beyonce will have a special role in the clip, although there are no details about what this is.

But her eye shadow will certainly be a talking point, as her eyelids are decorated with blocks of yellow, lilac and blue, perfectly matching the pattern in her outfit and perhaps sparking a new trend.
