The screams were appropriate. That is the nature of this song... Aretha screams and holler, but it's all in the proper context...If somebody is doing you wrong, you are not going to speak in a soft and squeaky voice.. You are most likely hollering at them to express your anger and pain .. think she did a great job with that song... She belt it out.
@@kazakah1 Aretha does not holler and scream. When Aretha gets on that stage she is SANGING. She belts with such power that it may feel like shouting but she is technically sound especially if you wanna talk about singing this song. Aretha doesn't strain pull on her voice, Alicia tends to do that for the high notes.
Fantastic version. ♥ You can hear the echoes of Aretha's all over this, which is perfectly natural because she's influenced every Soul singer since. ;-)
The thing that is so amazing about her vocals are that they stand out when she is playing the piano! Her voice is powerful, emotive, and rich! She's a great belter and people saying that she doesn't sound the same anymore, but she still sounds amazing today. She's stunning and beautiful. Very talented singer and pianist! Love her beautiful voice! I love the way she can emote, especially while singing at the piano. She's super talented! This is her best performance!
love her,,, always have,, she is soooooooooooooooooooooooooo damn beautiful.. wow. Aretha should be proud,, her and JH are awesome,,, RIP to the queen,,her a Prince are singing their hearts out right now,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Best cover of Aretha’s version I’ve heard and I’ve heard them all! Alicia sings this with a similar intention as a young Aretha does. Catapulting those top notes into the stratosphere “perfectly” painting a picture of a wounded young woman in love. Others always seem more concerned with the singing than they do with the story which is why they have yet to come as close as Alicia did here. Bravo.
We need this Alicia keys back asap because this is the truth, real soul. I love it when she growls it exudes confidents and says, " watch out im here. lol!!!
Well, Aretha is of my generation; and while I like Alicia, I don't like everything she chooses, to sing---BUT, this is one of the Best performances I've seen her do since she came out with "Fallin "! Just like everybody, your voice matures, with the rest of you. She can blow AND play the hell out of that piano, auto-tune or whatever + she's so beautiful it hurts to look at her !
As a singer myself I can honestly say that this is not an easy song to sing and especially do justice to such a soulful legend as miss Aretha the queen herself but I must say that Alicia did her thang and sang that song !!!!! I've heard many covers and I'd put hers in the top 10
As a young DJ in the 1970s, I was blessed to live and work in a place that made some of the most exceptional music ever to hit the charts. It's a place called Muscle Shoals and it's the home of the legendary "Muscle Shoals Sound". Alicia spent some time in the studios of Muscle Shoals recently... That's why you are finally getting to hear her full range of her talent. A lot of Aretha's work had a Muscle Shoals connection as well. Alicia is about to make one hell of a mark on the music world.
Absolutely amazing! I've heard several female singers sing this song, but the part where they have to dip into their lower range is where the song usually does them in. Even the amazing Jennifer Hudson struggles with the low range parts of this song. But, Ms. Alicia NAILED it!! Lord, have mercy. Unfortunately, her performance would have barely earned half nod from Ms. Franklin, because unfortunately, that's just the way she was. Complimenting other talented artists wasn't Aretha's strong suit, may she rest in peace. Girlfriend slayed though. She killed it.
AK Put the song over. She approached with respect and stayed truer to original arrangement. No one of these younger singers has the chops technically or emotionally to render this classic AF song. Even if it felt like she was putting on something too big for her, I was impressed the further she got into it. It made me winter to have seen AF in her prime with the technology we have today..
wow I just listend to the original and then I saw this video on the side en WOW she's really good! I mean I've always loved Alicia but I didn't know she could do this! wow!
She did a good job and she should be given credit for having the courage for attempting this song.. However, today's singers are finding out how just tough it is to follow the Queen. There will only be only one Aretha! When it comes to Aretha's songs, you can either sing or you can't .You cannot fake it. All Aretha needed was just a piano and her voice.
Alicia Keys is SINGING this song. How could you have A Grande singing Aretha getting all the praise when Alicia sings this song how it should be sang !
She sang that damn song! Yes she did!
Yes she did..
indeed
The New Queen of Soul Alicia Keys
joseph james now she's singing
That girl sung the hell outta that damn song!! Go on Alicia.
You have to be a real talent to take on a song like this and not disappoint. Alicia did her thing on this one.
Wonderful, she's so talented, beautiful inside and out...
A
thats what it is, her growl was on point this performance and added to her belts to make it sound like she wasnt yelling.

soul, felling, power, voice, good version - just BOMB ! great women !!!
Alicia is in her zone. She is totally into this song and it is great!
A lot of Eb5's belts and also a raw F5! Pure emotion and raw vocals. Love this woman so much!
she's talented... and beautiful... god, she's beautiful
Fantastic version. ♥ You can hear the echoes of Aretha's all over this, which is perfectly natural because she's influenced every Soul singer since. ;-)
I seriously have the chills...
I've always been a fan of good old school soul, its good to hear a new generation bad ass singers doing the oldies.
Wow,,, love this style of singing,,,she definitely added some Extra Soul to that funk,,, l am in love,,❤😂🎉

Brilliant rendition by this very talented young women
she kicked ass...plain n simple and im a huge aretha fan!!
She did killed this in a good way. She didn't do much yelling. She belted and growled the whole song to give it that soulful flare.
Best I ever heard her sing. Really calling out her inner Aretha.
love her,,, always have,, she is soooooooooooooooooooooooooo damn beautiful.. wow. Aretha should be proud,, her and JH are awesome,,, RIP to the queen,,her a Prince are singing their hearts out right now,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
She did it amazing!
one of the absolute best renditions of this song i have ever heard. what an awesome, rare talent this young lady is !!!

She nailed it.
We need this Alicia keys back asap because this is the truth, real soul. I love it when she growls it exudes confidents and says, " watch out im here. lol!!!
Her growls are great
Once again, she nails this cover!
I can't get enough of this.
Well, Aretha is of my generation; and while I like Alicia, I don't like everything she chooses, to sing---BUT, this is one of the Best performances I've seen her do since she came out with "Fallin "! Just like everybody, your voice matures, with the rest of you. She can blow AND play the hell out of that piano, auto-tune or whatever + she's so beautiful it hurts to look at her !
Alicia Keys is so good at singing this!! I got chills on my backbone just listening to this.
I loved this Alicia Keys! Her new stuff is good, I mean I like it, but I liked it better when she did soulful performances like this.
Wow! Alicia's feelin it! Very powerful stuff!
Very close...almost there....maybe I'm wrong but arethas the best ?????!!!!!!!!! Excellent for effort...
Why of course Aretha is the best.
She aint no aretha or jhud...but that voice has a life of its own. And the keys though!
Alicia will never be able to replicate Aretha's soul. Her ability to improvise isn't up to snuff, when placed next to the Queen.
Why compare?
As a singer myself I can honestly say that this is not an easy song to sing and especially do justice to such a soulful legend as miss Aretha the queen herself but I must say that Alicia did her thang and sang that song !!!!! I've heard many covers and I'd put hers in the top 10
HELL YEAH!!! ALICIA DID HER THANG!!!!
alicia certainly does have some great songs. Fallin, if I ain't got you, A woman's worth. So many beautiful and soulful songs that people do cover.
Go Alicia Keys!!!!!! Love you sista!!!❤
this alicia keys needs to come back

She is the dream amongst a sea of... nobodies. The finest performance I have ever seen
Impressive version! The Queen would be proud!
What a beautiful woman! She can sing too!
Makin Aretha proud!
I wish her vocals would get back to this
Anfani happens with aging
@@SiliconValley33 she's not 65!
Chiba Z some singer can start experiencing vocal distress as early as their 30s
@@SiliconValley33 of course they do. The question is - is it normal?
Chiba Z that’s a good question. I guess it depends on the type of vocal training and technique
you just know the Queen of Soul approves! :) this is freaking awsome!
Girl girl u rocked that shi...
Awesome job Alicia!
She did a great job and looks amazing.

As Mariah said "ALL HAIL THE QUEEN"
