Alicia Keys has "lots of love" for Nicki Minaj

Alicia Keys thinks Nicki Minaj is a "girl on fire".

The chart-topping pair collaborated on Keys' hit track 'Girl On Fire', with Minaj laying down a rap verse for the remix.

Keys would "definitely" love the chance to team up with the 'Starships' songstress again.

She gushed to MTV News: "I saw her at the Met Ball actually and that was the last place I saw her. That's my girl and I definitely have lots of love for her ... she's a girl on fire."

Keys also spoke about long-time American Idol judge Randy Jackson's decision to leave the hit show once the current season has ended.

The stunning singer insists she won't be joining Minaj, Mariah Carey and Keith Urban on the coveted panel anytime soon.

She said: "There's no room for me."

Keys also spoke about her newest single.

She explained: "I actually just finished the video for 'Tears Always Win' last night.

"It's a girl and her working two jobs and she's got all these things going on. But the whole time, she's totally distracted because she's only thinking about how she feels [about her ex], almost at the point [where] you're thinking about the person, but you're also thinking about, kind of, your loneliness and how you feel. How're you gonna get through it? The video is totally beautiful, really unexpected. It has some Vegas pieces in it. I think the way it goes on, it really brings a relevance to the words and you'll really feel it. I'm loving it."
