Always gets on my last nerve when wannabe music critics knock someone for covering a signature song. This is NOT about Alicia trying to compete or out-sing Amy...it’s simply about one beautifully talented artist paying respect & tribute to another.
Not really because both of them are doing Soul music. What’s make differences is more their voice’s tone and the vocal technic. Whereas Amy got more a motown technic and vibe really deepened in the 50/60´sound, Alicia is more in the soft Soul and Neo Soul sound that’s more fiting with her voice. I really love both of them, I think they are both great !
@@hsmith1180 .... Thanks, I did read that (back then 9 yrs. ago). I was never a Amy fan in particular, but she even managed to polish up what the original was missing and make a hit out of it. Alicia is simply New York Gold IMO. However if you are a Zuton fan please enjoy further. We all need our own corner to feel happy. 😉
This is a pure example of the jewel the world lost when Amy died. Alicia K. (one of the best female singers if not the best) didn't even came close to touch Amy's voice,.style....and SOUL R.I.P. Amy 4eva'
He didn't say it was her song....Maybe you could take one of those reading comprehension courses.....They teach you to understand what people are saying...NOT what you THINK they are saying....lmao.....Reread ....maybe you'll get it this time....Nick NEVER said this was Amy's song....He said HER music....That can be her song or a cover of someone else's song....Comprende ???
@@bucksellers5364 why does everyone on TH-cam feel the need to be so offensive. ivethok wasnt being nasty or anything to deserve that attitude. She just wanted be sure people knew its a cover of The Zutons
Alicia is far classier and not in the news for the wrong things, so for this alone she is superior. Amy gave this song (which wasn't hers) a fun upbeat tempo.
@@arrowguy173 Amy had addiction problems way before she became famous. The fame just made everything worse and then her husband introduced her to hard drugs. She had a very sad life.
@Pol Fartin Yes, and there are many wonderful and meaningful live performances. The fact that she wasn't always "perfect" and never tried to force herself to be,just confirms how authentic she was.
You guys are crazy to even bring Amy up. She wld have loved Alicia Keys version! Just listen with no preconceptions. She does a beautiful soulful version.
Amy would probably have loved, like most people. Alicia is still a very skilled singer. But I don't think many can go and play in Amy's playground. Even massively talented, her song suited the way she felt and the way she connect with music. Playing with the rythm, changing notes, just gently surfin on her music. I don't think many can copy that(although there is...probably)
Music education and promotion of the arts is so important. I'm s former English teacher and now substitute teacher. I hate seeing such important cultural parts that help to us all feel human go due to funding issues. LOVE THIS!
I love Alicia Keys but NO ONE can sing VALERI like my dear Amy Winehouse. RIP AMY ~ 💗 The young lady singing her rendition of VALERI did a great job ~ the live Band did a great job ~ BRAVO 👍 👌
Sorry but Amy ruined this song for other artists to cover. She made it her own and anyone else who sings it sounds like an amateur. Thanks Zutons, thanks Amy we miss your heart touching talent.
To Izzy....Maybe you could take a reading comprehension course....they teach you to understand what people are saying....NOT what your twisted, warped mind THINKS they are saying.....
I LOVE AMY TO DEATH AMD ALICIA IS A BEAUTIFUL WOMEN AND A NATIONAL TREASURE LIKE ARETHA.YOU CANT GO WRONG LISTENING OR JUST LOOKING AT ANY OF THEM...I WILL ALWAYS LOVE ARETHA FRANKLIN THANKS FOR ALL THE MUSIC..
so glad to hear young people trying to imitate Amy's music, they are all true artist, I wonder how Amy would this, and thanks to the leader of the band for his inspiration
I love Alicias voice, one of my all time favorites I think it is just beautiful. That being said, I agree that she isn't the most technically gifted vocalists, she doesnt have a range or clarity of a lot of artists especially the greats like Aretha or Etta. But she does have a ton of soul and just the right tone to me think it is great

It's not amys song soft lad
Didn’t say it was her song, bubba.
Yes!
Alicia and Amy have diferente styles. Both are great.
La Buena Música, según yo. No tiene estilos y ya se sabe q los Polos Opuestos se atraen.

Alicia is a beautiful beautiful person.
I checked in here to hear Alicia sing Amy's Valerie and was more then pleased. They all did a great job. Congradulations!
It's not Amy's song. It's the Zuton's. Amy covered it

Very nice...but Amy owned every note of that song.
SheRises From The 7th mountain Nah, they owned a few notes.
SheRises From The 7th mountain I agree, but that's Amy's song for sure. Alicia has a better voice in general, but not for that one.
+Chad Herrin smoke some more crack
james deroc I don't even smoke cigarettes. Let alone that garbage. Thanks.
+SheRises From The 7th mountain Really? I think that there are others that can do just as good a job as Amy. How about Bruno Mars? He nailed it.
The kids are so talented, guys show some love to that live band.
This is a pure example of the jewel the world lost when Amy died. Alicia K. (one of the best female singers if not the best) didn't even came close to touch Amy's voice,.style....and SOUL R.I.P. Amy 4eva'
But that lil girl did and she's alive."
Alicia has her own songs, as we all know. It's not a competition this was for the kids and how they can move forward with there carira
@@axlewheel6457 Thank you, my thoughts exactly!
Agreed.
Because she doesn't want to LOL
this is exactly how amy would have wanted people to remember her music and use it
its not actually her song... it was a cover she did..
He didn't say it was her song....Maybe you could take one of those reading comprehension courses.....They teach you to understand what people are saying...NOT what you THINK they are saying....lmao.....Reread ....maybe you'll get it this time....Nick NEVER said this was Amy's song....He said HER music....That can be her song or a cover of someone else's song....Comprende ???

@@ivethok7460 Alicia covered Amy's rendition tho so I think it's safe to say Amy would have enjoyed it :)
not her music sorry
no one can sing like amy ......
Alicia is far classier and not in the news for the wrong things, so for this alone she is superior. Amy gave this song (which wasn't hers) a fun upbeat tempo.
@@arrowguy173 Since when being in the news makes an artist superior?
Please,Amy had more soul in one hair than Alicia could ever hope to muster.
@@arrowguy173 Amy had addiction problems way before she became famous. The fame just made everything worse and then her husband introduced her to hard drugs. She had a very sad life.
arrowguy173 honestly Amy owns this song, nobody can sing this better than her.
@@arrowguy173 class didn't help with that vocal strain...amy wasn't that strained even on drugs and drunk
I wish I had a music teacher like that. Those kids are so lucky... AND talented. Good job!
Only Amy Winehouse can sing this no one can hold a candle to her. She was ONE OF A KIND.
I totally agree. th-cam.com/video/ef2Dv08uv8w/w-d-xo.html
I love Alicia but this just demonstrates how incomparable Amy Winehouse really is.
just thought the same thing!! only one Amy :(
iRide uWatch They only other person who sang Amy's Valerie is Bruno Mars. I love Alicia too but this isn't her song
@Pol Fartin Lmao it's ok,quality music is not for everyone.
@Pol Fartin Yes, and there are many wonderful and meaningful live performances.
The fact that she wasn't always "perfect" and never tried to force herself to be,just confirms how authentic she was.
@Pol Fartin Like I said,I feel sorry for you if you can't recognize authentic music.
Or make a smart argument lol
Not even Alicia Keys in all of her greatness could compare to Amy ❤️
Check out my Amy Winehouse Ai cover of Alicia Keys :)
No need to compare
These children played their hearts out an played "Valerie" right on time, extremely well. With much verve and vibe. I loved their rendition!!!!!
I’m happy that you put “The Zutons” in brackets.
She sang this beautifully, also the girl singing in the pink is really good, super cool band
I love that a song like this is still being played. It is an honor to Amy, but agree no one can ever do it like her.
people always like to compar, just appreciate, Alicia's take on the song is beautiful, spend so much damn time comparing
No
She sucked on it
@@rannyranny64 How much better can you do Ransford?
I'm happy it's Alicia keeping this song rolling in the schools.
RIP Amy
You made me cry about Amy all over again Alicia..you're sweet!!
Those kids were fantastic! They really rocked that song!
So wonderful! The Queen and AK, but mostly the music teacher and the kids. WONDERFUL'
tears for amy winehouse :-(.....

Alicia Keys...ur Voice..sends Chills through my whole body. You have an amazing and tremendous gift.
Amy's music inspiring a new generation of Artists. She would be very proud.
New generation? are you talking about Alicia Keys?
***** The children ( new artists) listening to Alicia, sing Amy's song (Zutons)
Ooooh.... I thought you meant Alicia Keys being a new generation of Artist that are in the lime light....
***** oh...so do u think alicia isnt new generation? hahaahahahha
she is... but first of all 'kim beattie' was CLEARLY talking about the children
So very cool! I love these renditions of a really fun song. Alicia put her vibe on it and the band was on point!
Amy u touch millions of souls RIP

Rest in Paradise, Amy Jade. What a beautiful soul. I pray that her soul is safe in Heaven.
Music education and promotion of the arts is so important. I'm s former English teacher and now substitute teacher. I hate seeing such important cultural parts that help to us all feel human go due to funding issues. LOVE THIS!
The band is awesome! Wow! And the vocalist made the piece move ♥
Oh, the kids! How beautiful that Ms Keys gives back.
I love Alicia Keys but NO ONE can sing VALERI like my dear Amy Winehouse. RIP AMY ~ 💗
The young lady singing her rendition of VALERI did a great job ~ the live Band did a great job ~ BRAVO 👍 👌
Was it a competition to see who sang it better than Amy?

That was so awesome... these two superstars rocking up to be with the youngins.. fantastic job done by everyonr
Give props to Alicia for originality! Covering a song is ALL about making it your OWN.

+KnowledgeGizmo I totally agree
Damm true!

To Izzy....Maybe you could take a reading comprehension course....they teach you to understand what people are saying....NOT what your twisted, warped mind THINKS they are saying.....
the glee version is really good
Beautiful.
This young lady is so down too earth so strong. With. Looks of a model. Strong fighter.

Amy is my world Amy is my life..
That's was amazing luv it we need more teachers like him
one of my favorite songs and love alicia and amy
Essa moça além de talentosíssima é LINDA DEMAIS... *A. Keys* .... *Gorgeous!*
Teacher and his class are fantastic.
Tribute right there 🙏🏻😀
This gave me chills!!!
Every single person in this was beautiful
this school is poppn and the girl did her thang
Very good professor and professional support for future generation. I am pretty much all for it. Thank you.
What am I watching?? Queen Latifa, Alicia Keys, a rockin school band, and an Amy Winehouse song 😱 ❤️🤤
The song Valerie was actually originally written, recorded and released by The Zutons. 😉
a Zuton's song
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! IM IN HEAVEN!! She sounds perfect!! I love you Keys. RIP Amy
I love Alicias voice, one of my all time favorites I think it is just beautiful.
That being said, I agree that she isn't the most technically gifted vocalists, she doesnt have a range or clarity of a lot of artists especially the greats like Aretha or Etta.
But she does have a ton of soul and just the right tone to me think it is great
Etta didn't have much range, or technicality either. I think you mean Whitney Houston or Aretha Franklin.
:))))) SWEEEEEEETNESSS I LOVE Mrs. Beatz bless those kidz and bless the Queen
This makes me purr, gives me hope.
Great JOB !!!!! to Alicia AND THE BAND !!!
Alicia tem voz de anjo! Linda demais!!!
finally a teacher that knows how to connect...awesome
Soooo beautiful!
Love this... So many kids making a wonderful noise!
I love you Alicia. You are one of THE best vocalists of all time but No, just no. No one can sing 'Valerie' other than Amy. We all know it! 😇🙏🙏
Magnifique quel feeling et les élèves aussi.... Quelle belle vibration !
Amazing version of Valerie 😍
I never comment usually: but the voices you cannot compare, the song is highlighted beautifully by both artists, they are both quality in their own unique way. Love Alicia, Love Amy xxxx
I'm so sorry but the way Amy would sing the song was amazing, her voice bring chills to me.
She is just so beautiful... natural beauty
Wonderfully fun!! Thank you for this share.. My Heart is Smiling big time! Xo
Teachers are where it ALL starts! Amy, You deserved Better, Alicia K. What You Are Do-in ~ Dig It ~
MAGNIFICENT!!!!
Sad to say NOBODY can sing this song like Amy . Just like nobody sings “I will always love you” like Whitney Houston ❤
you can love both versions
No se trata de quien canta mejor sino que Amy sea recordada por otra artista gigante...
No one I say no one can beat Amy her talent was second to none
I L-O-V--E THIS
These kids kicked it! Awesome! Great performances...
Props to the high school band and singer.
I don’t know why but lately, I tear up every time I hear Alicia sing a ballad, and this time is no different.
They sound terrific
I could look at her face all century long.
Ms Keys, the word exquisite was invented for you.
Lindo voz, meu sonho é curtir um show seu no Brasil.
I love both of you guys those are great singers.
So beautiful well done
this is just beautiful
