I grew up w him our college days. He's a great guy and person in general... loves his wife and family and just a sweetheart! His brother is talented too. Great ppl :)
SCREAMING @@90sbaby1 😂😂😂💀 They be hella mad their fave is a studio singer who can't keep up live unless her mic is padded🤷🏿♀️🤭 Alicia has an amazing catalog but facts are facts❤
I don't care what anyone says she confident in her own self to allow him to show case his vocal skills I love it this how you put people on not keep them down point blank period she have her grammys she has already put in the work
@@kamfisher1714 he just said the man made song more better. Obviously Alicia Keys made the song great but the man deserves to be given credit and praises as well.
TONY TONI TONE were one of the GREATEST groups Alicia Keys collaborating with them and Jermaine on this track was a great move their voices together are INCREDIBLE
@@WheresTheVodka Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe TTT has instrument credits on this song (like piano and guitar) but not background vocal credits (that's Jermaine Paul). Not sure if they were in this footage since the video cuts a lot of previously recorded video footage.
this type of music needs to be heard a lot more.. this is real music with true meaning unlike these fake love songs, like some certain rap songs, some certain rock songs, and especially some fake pop songs... Alicia Keys does a really good job of connecting with audiences and understanding them... God Bless Alicia Keys for this song :)
I love Alicia, because when she sings live its just so real and full of emotion. Alicia has a voice that doesn't fixing, it sounds good in or out of the studio. A Keys baby all the way!
@@Rewientje Trust me, if you're not going for your true woman, your family will notice in time. You'll start to feel recentment towards them. Not them - YOU! And trust me, they'll feel it too. What's holding you back?
She’s one of the greatest musicians of all time. The Diary of Alicia Keys is an amazing album because listening to it you can feel the emotions and lyrics are so powerful.
Over a decade passed and still as powerful in 2024 as it was when it came on the scene. One of those songs that gives you chills and you feel to your core. Stunning.
Confidence is being secure in yourself, who you are, and what you bring to the table, so that you aren't threatened by what anyone else brings to the table. That you can allow them to shine to their fullest extent, because you know that allowing them to be great will not make you smaller in any capacity. That's the difference between confidence and arrogance. Alicia Keys is confident. Most celebrities are arrogant and egotistical, which means they're insecure.
Love this song. However, honestly came to listen because of the spoof video going around Instagram. It's hilarious. Love you Alicia Keys never knew who sang this with her. Beautiful.
I was 18 when this came out but now I’m 39 and I understand the lyrics. When you are young, you just love the beat and rhythm. This is a beautiful song all around. It makes me smile. I love it. 😊❤
@@Honest000w not her vocals no, but people's priorities tend to shift when they have a family versus when they're young and no responsibilities. They train harder, have a laser-sharp Focus, and make sacrifices to ensure that they are going to perform and be at their absolute best at all times. When kids and family come into the picture, they start to loosen up on there aggressive, ambitious attitude and put that into their kids and raising a family.
She's never been single tho. She was with Kerry Krucial Keys forever like since she was a teenager for more than 10 years then had an affair with Swizz. Broke it off officially with Kerry and married Swizz. She literally never been single in her entire adult life. Doesn't take from ur point but just had to put that out there lol
j'ai toujours les larmes aux yeux quand j'entends cette chanson. elle est si belle si intime. elle a fait des hits incroyables mais c'est de loin ma chanson préférée de son répertoire
Still one of my favorite songs from Keys. The calib with TTT was amazing and JP up front from the group on vocals was just icing on the cake. Beautiful song. STILL in 2024.
Listening to Alicia Keys music is so smoothing, over and over again, I love this track. The both of them sound so powerful, instrumental arrangement are on point. When I am feeling down, this tune always lift me.
who's here because...... nah fck that, I'm hear because this gem takes me back to middle school, to a young boy who listened to Nelly, Em, Bone thugs, all those dudes, while heading home on the city bus, learning life lessons..... but when Alicia graced us with her music, it was and is a whole spiritual experience .. beauty, kindness and confidence, the whole package ✊🏾✌🏾
I was there for when she performed at Jazz n Blues festival in Jamaica. It was her birthday. When she called out Bounty Killer on stage for "You don't know my name" the crowd went crazy!
God took a long time to create such a special human being! Had your poster on my wall since 15. Your the truth nothin further from it Relevance doesn't compare to a living legend! ♥️♥️♥️
This song is so beautiful. One of myfavorites. Alicia always looks classy. Love her taste in clothes and they always look great on her. Her smile is definitely the best.
I AM HERE BECAUSE I LOVE THIS BEAUTIFUL GENTLE SPIRIT. HER BEAUTY IS NOT ONLY EXTERNAL, BUT ALSO INTERNAL. PEACE BE WITH YOU. YOU ARE AMAZING MUSIC BOX IN THE HANDS OF GOD. ❤🎵🎶🎤💯
This is so beautiful. The music she makes is so special like pure art! Alicia Keys is amazing, there is no one like her in the WORLD...one of the best artists ever to me...❤️
Miss. Alicia Keys, no women can sing and play piano like you. I love your music, its nothing but inspiration for my soul. Its a lot more to come from Miss. Alicia keys take care of yourself.(Mr. Kevin Shorter as Suave)
Why do everything have to be a competition? She has the better career, more talented (can sing, act, and play her own instrument) so im so tired of black folks putting us against each other. She ALLOWED him to shine, it's not about him over shinning her or any of that nonsense y'all trying to stir up..they both did a great job singing as a unit.. PERIOD
@@williamperry1305 ok and the fact here is he BODIED her. Why are you offended by that fact so much that you had to bring up facts about Keys? 😂😂😂 mad much?
Jermaine Paul is truly the icing on the cake!!!! Impressive soulful voice compliments Alicia's voice!!!
You go girl.❤
its the way he snuck in the studio when she recorded that night, passed all the security card and started spitting bars on the vocal mic
I grew up w him our college days. He's a great guy and person in general... loves his wife and family and just a sweetheart! His brother is talented too. Great ppl :)
She even smiles when he hits that note at 3:28. That man can sing! 🎤
Lol she knew he was capable.. She was laughing because he decided to do a run on it
now if only we could smile when we ever witness the day when _she_ hits that note. But we know we won't ever hear such a thing.

Where all my 2019 listeners?? That backup singer is dropping those vocals! Never gets old
We are still here because we will not find such warm, cozy and touching soul music anywhere else 🌞
Happy 44th Birthday Alicia!🎉
Many relationships are failed by talking to friends and family about intimate stuff, we all should practice being each other's diary.
Great point!
She and Jermaine turned that song into a duet. Good on Alicia Keys for giving him space to shine!

I jus cannot atop listenin to this masterpiece. This came out while i was in HS. Ah, what a time it was😊
I saw them perform this live years ago and did not know anything about this guy Jermaine with that amazing voice. Awesome singer.
Alicia keys is without a doubt one of the most beautiful people I’ve ever seen and heard! Swiss beats is a lucky man!
2021. Still obsessed with Alicia Keys. This woman is something else.
I was at the Jazz n Blue Festival in Jamaica when she performed. It was her birthday! 🎂🎉
