Watching Alicia with her dad makes me happy. I'm 37 now and I'm parentless. I lost my mom when I was six and I just lost my dad. So watching Alicia making peace with her dad makes me happy. She is one good daughter.
Sorry for your loss 🙏🏾
@@lashawnames9066 It is okay. Acceptance takes time, and the songs of Alicia Keys are here to stay to help me recover.

My prayers are with you for peace and blessings!
@@erickasimonewat Thank you. Much appreciated.
She has her father's eyes ... Wishing them healing, and light 🌺
She has so much compassion for herself and others. I'm not there yet. God help us all because Alicia is truly self actualization goals✨✨✨
I have never heard someone refer to someone as having “compassion for themselves” that was really deep!
She s a truly gifted artist and conscious aware person.

You can find kindred people, but you have to be vigilant. We’re all trying to find our people - ALICIA KEYS ✨
He regrets it for many reasons. She accomplished so much success on her own without his contributions to her life. He is not able to take any credit for her success. He was blessed with such a special daughter that he ignored most of her life. Unlike him, Alicia opened her heart to him, something he could not reciprocate to his own father. In spite of it all, God gave both of them a chance to connect & heal.
The regret, always happens to absent dads. Success always follows 'neglected' children. God creates the balance.

So passionate to see Alicia and her Father connect. My heart weeps inside not tears of pain but joy to hear they’re at a place of healing💜💜💜
That’s healing right there when your dad admitted his regret.
That happened to me before my daddy died. I was such in shock because I thought he never knew what he had done. It was very healing for me.
Thank you, when he admits. Mine tried to come back last year and said I must stop calling my grandpa "dad"...lol he wasn't 24hr back. And refused to admit his mistakes. I cut him off AGAIN. I'm done.
I love how she acknowledged her ex! So dope and adult like!
Very much... and it helped make a better understanding of what happened... made sense of songs she wrote a well
I’m So Happy 😀 She Had That Protection! Especially As A Single Woman

"I...SHINE...AT FULL WATTAGE!" I read somewhere, that some people come into your life for a season, a reason, or a lifetime. Growth can give us a sense of freedom. A level of understanding can allow us to forgive. This conversation appeared to have given a sense of peace. I just watched a blessing unfold.
I paused the video just as she lit her candle, closed her eyes and said, "I shine, at full, wattage. I. SHINE. At full, wattage." Brought me to tears. Crazy how hard we can be on ourselves but if we, not only knew this, but felt it about ourselves... what a full life to live. And such true words to live by.
@@ladyatilano40 I definitely felt chills at that moment. Makes you wonder what I could have already achieved at this point had I only knew that. Alicia is so grounded and wise.
My dad and I are trying to build a relationship as well. Alicia made me realize it is normal to still feel pain behind my father's absence even though we are in a good place.
My dad just reached out to me in my 30s. Phone convos only because he's essentially a stranger and I am so guarded from the hurt of his absence. I tried so hard but have come to the conclusion he isn't mature enough emotionally for the relationship he wants with me. It's heartbreaking. Alicia's dad seems like he's doing the work and I'm happy for her.
Wishing you well 🙌🏾
A friend of mine has a father who lives right next door to him. They are separated by a fence yet they never had a relationship at all. He's just another OG from the block. My friend cries every now and then when he's drunk. It's unbelievable
I've always admired Alicia, but never personally followed her. She's in a class of her own, and I do pick up on her spirit of realness and how important it is to be genuine, or just to be yourself. When I saw her a few years ago where she decided to not wear makeup anymore, that showed me that she was tapping more into being her raw self. Alicia, thanks for sharing who you're privately and personally. I feel people love you more when they can see you're human and go through like everyone else. I love your relationship with your husband and , it shows no one is trying to control who you are. Again, this is my first time following Alicia Keys, and I am glad I did, she's marvelous, and even more, she's a Nubian Queen. May GOD forever bless your marriage, your family, your friends, your followers, and your career. 🙏❤️🙏

I would love to see Alicia play Lena Horne in a bio pic movie. It's like Lena Horne reincarnated. Her dad has such beautiful skin, he doesn't look older at all. It's like she's helping him heal. She learned to make peace throughout her life.
Yeah I've noticed too, his skin is amazing! He looks very young.

I'm weeping right now. I am a totally blind singer song writer who is just about to release for the first time. And this journey, my sister, has reminded me that the power is already inside. So thank you for living the dream and the nightmare. Taking the steps to return home to yourself. Thank you my strong sister for all of your truths. If I ever grow up, I hope to be like you. To be able to go deep. Love, Brittany Davis

Amazing how she actually put all those “broken pieces” into art, into music. Singing the pain, not living it
The maturity it takes to forgive someone who has caused you so much pain, you’re an exceptional women Alicia
It definitely takes a lot
I saw my biological person a few times growing up. Had a rough life growing up with a single Mom whom herself had been abused as a child so she never really figured life out. For the sake of myself after my children were grown I decided to try and find him and I did. I
First thing I said was” wait please don’t hang up”. I just wanted you to know that I forgive you and I truly hope hope that you have a peaceful life”. We talked for about 5 minutes in which he had said” let’s meet for breakfast”. Two weeks later he cancelled and said” I don’t think he could have a relationship with me because he knew he would just hurt me. So it’s good to forgive and Alicia you and your Father are better for it. I have not talked with him since. He only lives 40 minutes away from me always has been that close. Thanks for sharing it will encourage many others to try and maybe show Fathers that just because the didn’t do what they should of there’s always a chance to make it up some of the way if they want to.

Thanks for being you. 🙏👏💗
Alicia is so full of love & light! She’s an amazing soul. ❤️❤️
She's very humble and her journey of life, led her to her own identity.. She's such a vibe and I love who she has become. Her video journals are life teaching!!!❤🙏🏽She also looks like him..
I can relate to that single mother raising me and my siblings and one thing I learned in my 50 years on this earth is no matter what you have achieved in your life it still hurts when you think back on why your dad left the family and all the hardships you watched your mother went through to protect her kids and hustle to feed them,I can tell you it made me fearful of being a father I had this crazy feeling that I would follow in my father's footsteps and there was no way in hell I was going to repeat that cycle, fast forward to present and I have 5 kids of my own and I will never abandon them plus I am about to be a grandfather can't wait for the day when that baby is born
Congratulations sir,God bless you
I felt it when you said "I met him and made him my friend" or something around that... in reference to your father. I had the same dad experience, I hope I will see it from this angle and pull away from that "daddy absent drama" and see him as a friend now. Oh I cannot wait for a song you would do about Daddys and Daughters- the missing piece! "Raise a man" was one hell of a song! You inspire me Alicia Keys. Love from a Nigerian girl to you.
Same here
Same here
She has a heart of gold! She's very deep! Far more than I imagined! God bless her!
18:51 Choosing a name really almost chooses your Destiny, in a lot of ways. Very true.
I LOVE her spirit! I listen and watch a woman that looks like me and has had similar experiences. If you paid attention the woman overall said, she has an old soul. We've been here before and are manifested into a new body with the experiences we've had from the past. I always loved her and understand I, ME 'admire' nobody. Alicia YOU ARE AN OUTSTANDING MANIFESTATION of manifesting!!
This was so powerful. You always imagine how the rich and famous are so different from us. That they live a glamorous, happy and fulfilling life. But they live a life very much like every day average people. Only they’re life is played out for millions and millions of people to watch, while we do the same but only in our small circle of family and friends. I respect Alicia so much for this segment, because I am living the same journey with my father and how my mother raised me alone. And I’m quite sure that many people have experienced the same thing. Thanks 🙏🏾 for sharing this.
It’s crazy, I grew up literally, on Alicia. Like, A Minor came out when I was a 6. And now at 25, I feel like I’m finally learning about so much of that time.
Oh my goodness Alicia Keys, you have been one of the few artists that I have followed since I was a little girl living in Germany. It is because you are an amazingly whole woman that I, and others can relate to in many ways. Thank you for sharing another part of yourself with us, this is much cherished. Continue to shine at full Wattage, I really try to follow that in my life. 💖
Yes same here
When her dad says his regrets 😭😭😭 Alicia that is gold. Some children will never hear that 💜💜
I’m still waiting to hear that but my dad says it was my moms fault. I just broke down crying when her dad said that
@@kimberlygarrett5643 sending hugs ❤️❤️ the older I get the more I realize my parents did the best they were capable of. we may not always get the apology we are owed. But we can still choose to walk in forgiveness and victory 🙌🏼
My pastor says I should go in with forgiveness but it’s hard
So true
My dad told me the same thing.
I'm sooo emotional Alicia! My dad was dying of stage 4 cancer in 2011 and I wanted to do a documentary like this with my dad and someone discouraged me from the idea. I regret not being strong enough to do it anyway. I hate that I don't have that memory on video.

This new album is going to be bluesy and jazzy and I’m looking forward to it! I love the vulnerability and truth in these videos ✨.
Is she releasing a new one?
This is a perfect example of being true to yourselves, mental strength over falling for a defeated attitude, perseverance always through life disappointments. People let's follow this great example in our own lives. Thanks you Alicia for sharing this with us, love you and your family🤗🤗🌎💒
I feel like this is the first time she’s really been THIS open about her personal life. I’m grateful to her for this level of vulnerability because so much healing happens when we witness other people’s healing 🥺

Her house is incredible. When I seen the pics when they first bought it I thought there was no way it could be turned into a family “home” but they did!! It’s Jaw dropping 🤩
The house was shown on million dollar listing episode, it look like a museum. But it’s beautiful, she made it her own. Looks like a home.
Sorry about your dad that he wasn’t there at the earlier stages of your life. It takes two to make love and then have a baby and it should be 2 raising the child. I can definitely relate because my mom wasn’t there a lot in my life also. Thank u for sharing your story love it was nice to hear u open up Alicia Keys I appreciate u ! ❤️

You can see the pain in her face. She is a very forgiving person.
When "brand new me" started playing I was like 😫🔥 the lyrics of that song always get me 💜💜
Having grown up listening to your music and having interpreted it in my own way, it's crazy when I finally get to hear you tell the story behind your songs and just your life. No longer putting you on a pedestal that you never asked to be placed on but seeing you as an equal, a human being. That's beautiful. Thank you for sharing yourself with us 😊.
Until now, it was always "speculated" that Krucial Keys was a couple... I love how she has honoured her relationship with him in this piece, even if things didn't work out, when it was good, it was good 🎵🎵👌🏾👌🏾❤❤
Naw she talked about him in her book
It was speculated but the real fans always knew like me .....you could just tell
@@tandrac.1021 True. I'd always knew that was her man during the Songs in A minor and Diary of Alicia Keys era.
It was always obvious. He was her shadow and the body language.
Naw I knew they were together since before she popped off so it wasn't secret. Plus she has talked about it
This touched me so deeply! I’m laying here in tears. Life has a way of taking our power away but I love how she has taken her power back and now lives it and it shows. Her and her Dad connecting later in life is a true blessing. I love her soul. It’s absolutely BEAUTIFUL 😍
Alicia's house is minimalistic yet so beautiful ❤️😍...
I grew up never knowing my father too then he committed suicide...she's lucky to have this opportunity & wish them both the best 💜🙏💜
This hits home to my core. I am building my relationship with my father and its getting better every day. Love whole hearted and being open with one another is important. Listen to both, yourself and others who you surround yourself with 💕
Is it me, or does anyone felt how Alicakey's voice made me calm until the end of the video 😄She is an amazing human being ❤️🙏💪
She is truly. Amazing ❤
*Thank you for making this Alicia.*
I’ve always been a fan of your music because of the human connection. This takes that to the next level.
Very brave and authentic.
Love this woman ❤️🇬🇧 my new mantra “I shine at full wattage” wow 😳
I adore Alicia keys, been listening to her since I was in elementary school. To this day she's so inspirational, she's famous and stopped wearing make up, still beautiful too! Appreciate her honesty in the music industry as well
Butterflies is one of my favorite songs and her explanation of you being an old soul was exactly how I felt when I heard it and held it in total rotation. My mother always said Alicia was older beyond her years at like, 16 years old when I was listening to her
It's an Amazing background. God rewarded your mother with your talent. May Alicia Augello Cook's be more and more blessed. She raised an exceptional WOMAN
There are many women who have raised Great WOMEN Greatly
I love your pureness 🤍✨ you’re so authentic and powerful . I love your process. You inspire me
This series is so beautiful, vulnerable and transparent. I am so grateful 💗
I feel so connected to you Alicia, we have similar experiences and similar fears. The Blessing that we are both Meditators and a way of fueling our realities as to what we want is a Gift. I share in some of your energies. I can share those as well . May we always be kindred spirits. Thank you for sharing Alicia !!!
Alicia you good…because I didn’t bother after 18! My Dad missed out on everything with me! He’s gone now. I guess the boys take it harder because we watch our mothers struggle and juggle raising us. I forgive him….you’re a class act for this.🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
This was so real, raw and beautiful. It made me turn inward and acknowledge my mistakes and faults throughout life. Thank you for such a loving and insightful look inside your life. ❤
It made me cry tears of ( JOY ) to see and understand the connection between your father and yourself and also ( SMILE ) at how your ( PARENTS ) formed your name ❣️
Alicia is stronger than me because I wouldn’t be able to allow my father, who chose not to be in my life, into my life. Because she’s a celebrity she will never know if he became a part of her life because of it. She’s strong to be able to forgive and let go.
I have to say, him only being around because of who she is was on my mind too.
My thoughts exactly
I’m pretty sure the guilt is eating him up inside. Sometimes you have to let people see you are alright, no matter the circumstances.
No he seems very genuine . I believe he’s not just in her life because she’s a celebrity. When you grow older and mature and allow yourself to become more vulnerable you seek to repair important relationships
I would have wanted to let him know how hard it was my mom and me. How anything could have happened to her and he wouldn't have known or cared. But. She gave him the privilege to give her away when she got married. My heart went right to her mother saying no body cares about me. She should have had that privilege. He should have been a quest. May God continue to bless her. Maybe on the next NOTED, mom will tell her how that really made her feel.
“He was willing to be invisible for me” not “I don’t think he was jealous of me”. 👑🙏🏾🕊⚓️🐉🔥
That’s a very grown woman mature statement right there.
Greater insight into the hearts of men.👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 love u, Alicia Keys!
I am so sorry I was so busy trying to absorb so many aspects of this doc..that missed me. Who was she referring to? Her Father?
Everything about this, from beginning to end was so beautiful, refreshing, and spiritual.
This whole episode has a huge hold on my heart. Ali, I’m so glad you were able to connect and build something with your father. 💜
I’m so glad you and your father had this conversation and continue to do so.. it’s a process. 💜
Thank you for your vulnerability and for sharing this extremely personal journey with us. 🙏🏿
Such a beautiful soul. Love that she’s sharing her story 💜
Alice I can relate, understand how your mother raised you as a single mother. I raised my 4 children as a single mother until 1 year ago. This year 1 year married anniversary to me and my husband.
This Women is such a pure Soul! A Gift to the World! Thank you, for sharing all your Heart & Soul’! God Bless you! This Women is on FIRE!!! 🌹❤️🙏
Alicia is so in touch with her feelings and amazingly, intellectually stimulating. If I were a much younger man she would be completely out of my league. This is grown folks “stuff.”
You encourage me to have a better relationship with my father…❤️ I never knew how but now I have to develop vulnerability. I have to open up. I don’t know why I’m so ashamed of it. But I know now if I want a better relationship with him, that’s the first step. Put my pride aside.
The hurt is natural...
This is simply beautiful! I love how honest her father was and how comfortable they were having such open conversation ❣
I love how strong her New York accent was in the clip when she was younger.. her older albums have gotten me through a lot when I was younger..😩❤️
My wife that I never married. I love her with my whole heart. Swizz is really blessed to have this awesome woman give her whole self to him wholeheartedly.
Absolutely beautiful ! So glad they connected, it’s so important for both of them. ❤️
This made me tear up but I’m so glad you reunited with your dad!! Thank you for your transparency A Keys🎹
I wonder if she would ever work with Krucial again. They made beautiful music together. Her first 4 albums are my favorites of her discography, especially The Diary of Alicia Keys. She is such a wonderful writer and her vocal delivery is so unique. So packed with emotion.
Yes, they still work together. He did like 3 songs with her on her last album. They are best of friends.
I really LOVE the cinematography and editing in these videos!!! I also appreciate the richness of the conversations. Who produced this? They did an awesome job.
The Creator does everything for a reason…sometimes things turn out better the other way around!!!😘
Yes. Agreed. Putting God before anything or anyone brings all good things. Talented. For a reason. Alicia is a strong talented woman. She works diligently. She earned it.
I'm happy for her. I understand her pain and emptiness while growing up. Even though she did well without him, money and success didn't fill that void. I'm happy she's filling it now.
Forgiveness is the key to moving forward…Must forgive for YOU 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
My prayer for A Keys is that she continues in her authenticity; accepting and embracing the Divine path that has been destined for her. My soul is enriched witnessing, in this clip, her relationship with her dad being repaired in spite of the past. So many are bound by the negatives of their past and cannot get beyond it. I also appreciate her candor about Crucial. It was heartwarming! I pray that he knows that she respects and honors his contribution to her career and that he harbors no resentment toward her.
I’ve always admired A Keys as an upstanding artist. And I don’t champion many artist. But Alicia has always had a certain confidence, modesty, spirituality and self-respect that, in my opinion, is applaudable. Oh yea…and congrats on becoming “independent!”
I love how relatable you are Alicia. You say so many things that I have said verbatim in my diary; especially when it comes to life and dealing with people. You have to stay vigilant; like seriously! A sad truth or you will get played at every turn, and I haven't even done a fraction of the things you have. Your voice sounds more beautiful every year and I truly think it is because you are finding and accepting yourself and realizing your power to make things happen and believing in your connection to music and your ability to forgive and to move on. I got the feels when you mentioned "over everything" I totally get it. Overperforming, overdoing, overaccepting, overhelping, over going out of my way, over EVERYTHING! I've done it. And it eventually means nothing to the people who seem to be thankful for it. I don't do that anymore. Moving on is something that can chain people for many years and never even know it! "Keys, because keys open doors" I often wondered how you got the name. I always said it had to be much more meaningful than just she plays the piano extraordinarily well. Now I know :) Thank you :D
I love your videos! The one with Swizz makes me believe love like that does exist and we’re all deserving. This one really hit home, specifically the talk with your dad, it had me in tears. I tried to have the same conversation with my father and his response was I was destined for this life, I was destined to have parents that were addicts. I told him that we can’t change the past, accountability could have kept us moving forward. Thank you for your videos and letting us in ♥️
Forgiveness is a powerful and courageous gift that we bless ourselves with. I pray that those pieces in your heart and your father’s heart is made whole. Your art is a healing for many of us.🙏🏽
Alicia Keys Truth about her father, reminds me about Mariah Carey’s story with her father. Both stories started rough but ended up being such a beautiful potrait
Im so happy to know Alicia reunited with her father. Her life is now complete.
I am a massive fan :) love your energy and music. Blessings to you and your life
She’s a star waiting on the BIG opportunity! She’s so deserving of a Netflix special and way more. I love her she’s so sweet & authentic. I’ve never heard her bash on anyone to try & make herself look big if u know what I mean. On the voice I loved watching her nurture and guide those people on her team. The other person that I loved listening to sing is Jennifer Hutson. Jennifer would get so excited over the great singers auditioning that she just got me so excited when they picked her for their coach. Keep strong Alicia!!!!!
What a beautiful, intense, and hopeful piece. Can’t wait to hear her new songs. It felt great to hear people chatting out such tender topics. Thank you, dear giving and loving soul, for allowing us inside … to witness.
Her dad has millions$$ of reasons to be in her life. I hope he’s sincere. What if she didn’t have the money, would he still feel the same?
That’s the first thing she thought. But at the end of the day she made her decision. And she seems happy on her life
I thought the same. My guess is her fame and money gave him the motivation to make it work with her.
That's the $1 million question & one of the biggest problems of success unfortunately.
i get your point but Alicia has been rich for 20 years now, I don't think money is the reason they are connecting. We don't know when they started re-connecting, it could had been before she was famous or this year.
@@johnosahon It is the deep reason they are connecting.If she were homeless,clothes less and drunk.He would run miles from her,faster than .The eminent athlete Usain Bolt
I'm in literal tears on my way home from Upstate... because I am going through this current stage where I risk it all and do unhealthy things to push the barrier because of the what ifs... and I am out here going from event to event putting in my all
Her face when he said “my relationship with you. Her eyes changed and said everything. Like it’s nice to hear, I want to hear that, but it doesn’t mean anything like if your were actually there would mean. - her face while he’s talking looks like a polite desire to make that relationship work, while there’s still doubt and hurt there 🥺 - powerfully inspiring beautiful woman.
Alicia is so beautiful inside and out. Her parents are the real deal as well. This is how it happens sometimes in real life. God Bless them all.
I love all of the music that I have heard you do!! Your gift of music travels everywhere all of the time at once.
To hear you record hymns, spirituals and gospel music, I believe, would be mind-blowing, soul stirring and spirit lifting for the world to receive. When I hear your voice in song, I hear your heart, breath and being.
May God continue to stretch and use you. Sit down in the Lord, as he stands up in you.
I have never heard & seen you perform live. I don't know that I ever will.
I am grateful for your life; thankful that you are. Praying that joy, love and peace are forever covering & keeping you, your children, husband and family. Don't stop. Keep movie g & doing your thing, pleeze!!!
This is a gorgeous documentary and everyone is so beautiful in soul and spirit. 💚
Alicia thanks for letting us in your most vulnerable parts of your life. It helps me to understand a little more about the magic you create on the keys and songwriting. You’re my kind of people S.Sis.
