No one
This girl is on fire !!!!!!!
You don’t know my name!!!!!
Alicia Keys is a timeless beauty. Her voice is forever soothing.
Ikr
True
Just like me right?🤣
Yet Aretha said she can't sing lol
@@MissReen 🙃
She’s like a little kid giggling and telling secrets. Love her energy.
Same!
She sings every song like it’s hers
Somebody give this woman a talk show. She would be a natural.
Hahaha I know right?!?
Ikr...but someone gave Drew Barrymore a show 😟
Noo
She replaced james corden once. It was the best late late night show ever.
Only if she wants it as well.
She's introvert, extrovert, and ambivert all at once.
What’s ambivert?
@@Lily-gw4ge Combination of the two, intro+extro. :)
Me too😁😆🤣thanks for the word(ambivert)
i think her personality type is INFP
@@isra6252 then let's include that as well :)
she speaks in lowercase and sings in uppercase
I totally understand what you mean.
Honey I felt that
I don't know why I understand this too well 😂 😂
Lol yes. She's so relaxing to listen to.
Dang i love how she mentioned dolly when she was talking about I will always love you. She's just so great and she literally radiates positivity.
it was nice the way she talked about other artists , but i think I have nothing is whitneys best
I fully agree I love that she gave credit to dolly for being the original writer and singer of the song!❤️❤️
Longest song association and it’s the only one I didn’t skip through. I can just listen and watch Alicia all day. She is the epitome of beauty.
Same lol
Let's not forget, she has 15 Grammy Awards so far! Needless to say, she's one of the greatest out there. A songwriter and musician. ❤️
And yet she's still super humble :") world deserves Alicia Keys' (more) music and smile
She has none in major categories ig?
@@mehedihasan2024 she won Song of the Year for "Fallin'" and Best New Artist.
She's such a cerebral artist, she truly loves every aspect of music.
U
Naturally! She’s an Aquarius 🤗♒️🤟🏾
Well put. I also get this from her vibe. She grasps the whole concept of music, from instrument to melody to beat to harmony to structure. She's a boss for sure.
Pretty Phoenix that’s a virgo sign 🤔
xo andreya Aquarius is most often seen as the most intelligent zodiac sign.
She’s literally in LOVE with music and it’s beautiful to see. 🥰
Jungle
I sing "in the jungle, the mighty jungle, the lion sleeps tonight"
lmao.
Me too 😂
Sameeee I was like “What other jungl-“ then it hit me 😂
That's what I sang. 😊
Me a little different : Welcome to the jungle 😄
@@frodzia same, lol
She still has that joy in her eyes when she talks about music...Magic
This woman is one of the last gems or our generation. She must be protected at all costs.
Ariana grande and demi lovato are next
So true. Quality over quantity.
ariana grande up next tho.
We have Normani!
@@sameolddya4875 no lol
Alicia: *sings* Then Alicia: *victory dances* She's a human treasure.
When she sang a woman's worth, I went so far back to the 2000s🥺🤧
I thought she was going to sing Superwoman
An underrated classic tbh
I miss that era. That was when I was starting to self actualize even more and learn more about myself. I'm just gonna start playing the older albums on Spotify.
Her “not on key” is my “learning how to sing my whole life”
She wasn't off key, she was just singing the wrong key. She sang it too low in the first bit ;)
She's always of key
SHE'S A KEY!!
Just Jaye 💯💯
@@r0bz1985 shut it
Nobody talks about how rich her low notes are.. Alicia is on fire.. 🔥
Shes just a girl nd shes on fire😉
Her runs on Prince's "Adore" had me SHOOK to the core omg 😖😭
The biggest artist Elle has ever hosted on this song association show
Angela Onwuka I think that goes to Ariana actually.
@@naturellebella ariana is yet to surpass alicia
Ariana and blackpink
@@inekay9797 Nope, they may have a lot of stream and views but they're not on Alicia's level yet. I'm not even an Alicia fan. Still love Ariana tho.
@@clawklaus1626 lol they both can sell out arenas world wide. What level are you talking about? Age level? ..
No one:
Not anyone:
Me: just staring at how beautiful she is
She tried so hard to not sing her songs but Elle lol
i couldn't not look at her, what a woman!
Everyone, literally everyone: just staring at how beautiful she is
Stephen Amell Grant Gustin Kanye West
Chit Chit Bang Bang
Beautifully said 👌🏻
Longest Song Association ever lol! Love that she SANG old school classics and gave us stories! So dope!
I feel like Alicia & HER were the only guests on this that paid tribute to old school songs. I wish we had more videos like this one! Everything about her is so soothing 🥺
@@anocturne_ it really was. I enjoyed it!
yeah i thought i was watching the other one for a min witg terrell his last like 2 hours lol
@@telikaandfam okayyy! 😂
@@telikaandfam 💯 you know what it is 😂🤣. Would love to see her with Terrell.
Love how chill she is and spells the word at the very last seconds... This woman radiates with peace and beauty
I love that natural raspiness in her voice
Watching this video makes you realize the vast difference between a singer-songwriter and a singer who doesn't write his own material. Artists like Alicia are so musically inclined, so knowledgeable with melody and highly appreciates artists and songs. I love how she geeks out on these classics and gives her own take. 😍 She's def a legend no doubt.
A lot of artists write their songs , just they don't write all of them by themselves or they don't write the ones that make them super successful.
❤️
Fact! 🔥
BY THE WAY Dolly Parton would be interesting in this game hah
You're the lucky one! No comments but 900+ likes!
@@wuhu-dw7ih looks like everyone agrees with me😁
@@alexbatonisashvili2551 hahahaha, so lucky🤩
Hey you are very lucky 😉
Look at this lucky guy over here 🍀 🍀 🍀
I love that she recognized Dolly for writing “I Will Always Love You” when she gushed about Whitney’s version. Womxn supporting supporting womxn 🙏🔥🙌
Alicia's energy and knowledge of songs and lyrics is outstanding. And she's such a kind person!
Imagine being her roommate and her singing in the shower omg free concerts lmao
lol true😂
Yes omg😂😂😂😂
smh 😂
I wonder if my roommate will feel the same way once I finish my vocal lessons
*HOW MANY INTERNATIONAL FANS OF THIS LEGEND WOMAN?*

Hello from Kazakhstan!😊🤗
Props to Elle for not editing out Alicia's tangents
This was the BEST Song Association. She took her time and you can tell she enjoys music to the core.
Probably my most enjoyable song association because Alicia is just taking her time and she's so encompassed with everything music. You can see her passion and excitement lol I love it!!! 😍😊
YES! We're so happy that she took her time and welcomed us into her world.
Alicia’s aura could cure the world. Wow😭🥺🥺❤️
Kebo Matlhaga her speaking voice is on point.👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
I needed her voice
100%
I know right 😍 she's an angel 💋 🌙
She’s such emotional, passionate, romantic and down to earth person ever I wouldn’t mind just sit and listen she’s talking about her childhood New York basketball court in summertime all day. She’s so narrative.
Anyway can u please bring Mariah Carey to play this game ??!!
Same bae
They did
She played it already
I love your chest ❤
If Elle ever gets Mariah Carey for this one thing is certain, she will have no qualms about singing her own songs as an answer to the word question.
Why ?
Miss Carey can't be topped except by Minnie Ripperton. And Miss Ripperton is no longer with us.
@@gailmonso9393 You better check out Chante Moore. 🤔
She would only sing her own songs cuz “she don’t know them” 😂
You have to check the new vid 😉
I wish elle has something on their website that would give you a random word to play song association at home!
If you search for song association on youtube, you'll find whole channels dedicated to this!
just put random words on slips of paper in a hat
There’s a song association app
She literally gave us a free concert, and "Adore" is also my favorite song by Prince too.
Saaaame
I fell in love with Alicia’s voice the moment I heard Fallin’ for the first time. She’s such pure talent and you bet I’m raising my future children on her music ❤️
I don't even really listen to much of her music but I just sat through this entire video, _mesmerized_
She's truly one of a kind
Same
The first part of your comment was unnecessary.
Then you have to check out her whole discography!!! It's amazing
WE STAN FOR A BEAUTIFUL QUEEN LIKE ALICIA KEYS 🤩
Y'all THIS is a real musician! One of the few that knows how to play ,produce , write and sing music
And knows Number one from Pharrell and Kanye YESSIRRRR 🖖🏻 🎹 💣 🔝
Real musicians play instruments
She really loves music because you can see how she smiles. She deserves to have the Keys in her Name. The Music Keys
She is talking like she is singing. Her voice is divine. 💕
THIS WOMAN LITERALLY HAS 15 GRAMMYS 🤯 HER EPISODE COULD BE AN HOUR AND I'D WATCH WITH BELLS ON. 🥰🔔🥰🔔🥰🔔
Her voice is so soothing and calm for some reason
Yesssss
I was just about to type this lol. It really is
She should have extra points because she sang a lot of songgggssss! OMG!
Something about Alicia' s soul is so bright and flitty like a beautiful butterfly that I can't help but stop and smile, admiring...her light shines through and something in her eyes and smile exudes peace, calm, love, happiness, friendly warmth and gets me every time. Much love to this Queen and beautiful soul

Same!!
“Jungle”
Me: In the jungle, the mighty jungle, where the lion sleeps tonight
LITERALLY ME
2:38 JUNGLE
in my brain : GEORGE, GEORGE, GEORGE OF THE JUNGLE, FRIEND TO YOU AND ME, AHHHHHH 😂
PERIODTTT 😭😭😭
@Jessica Deng hahaha that's mean we have that kind of same brain 🤪
I said jungle boogie
I thought of welcome to the jungle lol
I thought about "in the jungle, the mighty jungle, the lion sleeps tonight"..
I love how happy and passionate she is. 🥺
I wasn’t really an Alicia Keys fan but this video makes me fall in love with her. Her vibe is everything
Watched this vTWICE!!! NO auto tune...truly an artist... she is in LOVE with music... you can see what joy she has singing. The artist that she brought up shows her depth and inspiration
i'll fail terribly if this is a 'try not to smile' challenge. I mean, how can someone not smile watching her cheerful vibes?!
Agree 😊
I already failed just seeing the thumbnail 😂
"that's not my song, believe it or not. but that's *my* song" SO CUTE
Alicias voice is so calming. Literally just her talking is so soothing 💗
my favorite ones of these are the artists that TRULY love the craft their in, the artists that just get into it and geek out over who they think are the greats and the songs they’ve loved forever. it so nice to see people doing what they love.
No one:
No one:
No one : can get in the way of what i’m feeling
Wow ive never seen it like this
this is hands down the best comment ever posted on youtube
Alicia keys is honestly most of our childhoods
Smiling that much is a talent within itself.
Facts!
i grew up on her starting w the diary of alicia keys i have ALWAYS loved her. she’s such an inspiration like her class, her activism, everything. she’s amazing
Wow even her talking voice is sooo soothing to listen to hahaha
Alicia is uncomparable. Unmatched. Phenomenal. And she's an amazing person, too. Ugh. Describing her as legendary is an understatement.
I smiled the whole time watching this video. I've never watched her before. Yes early 2000s but nothing recent. She seems like an absolute peach.
We need alicia to release that Adore cover. It was heavenly
Her deep voice is so beautiful and underrated
No one:
Alicia Keys: what is autotune?
LOVE YOU, QUEEN!
Yes Ariana like that to and other artists ❤️❤️❤️
@@adrianaoeth4941 YASSS!
Alicia correcting the key on "no one" and redoing it 😍😍😍A Queen!
Elle, Alicia really came in and said “here’s your best video” ON A SILVER PLATTER
She has such a beautiful light. she is the definition of peace
Who else thinks that her voice is so beautiful!!!!!
Edit: omg thank you so much for likes! I mean, Alicia is really talented, I love her so muuch!!
Btw I posted a video playing the Song Association Game and I will be grateful if you check it :)
Me
@@kelsymerab9935 I love her so much!
Is that even a question?💗💗😭
I mean.... Everyone.
Every single person who appreciates art
this may just be the most genuine interview/game with a celebrity that i’ve ever seen
You can tell when an artist is really in it for the love of the music and I get that vibe from Alicia! Love her energy 💕
MANNN HER TASTE IN MUSIC. 🖤 One of the best song associations fo sure!
There will never be a moment that I won't get chills from her singing fallin live.
i love how she get excited, it's such a great energy
Her voice is so soothing. I can watch her all day 🥺😭
She has a calming presence and all around positive vibes. The alicia album is also amazing❤
This is the LONGEST Song Association ever and I’m loving it!! 🥰
I love when an artist goes: "I wish I wrote that song". It shows that it's normal as human we once in a while wish the thing that other people have.
She knows her music and loves it all! She is a shining star, always a smile on her face! I love me some Alicia Keys!
This shows Alicia’s passion for music so clearly! And I’m living for it✨
HER SINGING STYLE SHOWS HOW PASSIONATE SHE IS FOR SINGING. 💖
Check out Faouzia's ELLE video and thank me later :)
Her Voice Is Sooooo Soothing Whether She Talkin Or Singing It’s Just Soothing🥰🥺💜
Alicia is so peaceful, calm, beautiful, charming, supportive, insanely talented.
Her voice alone is so comforting, this woman is so down to earth and the least problematic artist in Hollywood.
This one is still so relatable and just such a pure soul.
She's amazing! We need more Alicia Keys in this world💗
She deserves everything and more
So, I went back to middle school and died when she sang a woman's worth! Love that she wasn't shy to sing her own songs!!
I've never seen so many ads on one song association... let Alicia live!
The way she describes each song shows how much she loves it. It honestly touched me.
I love how she tries to think of other songs that aren’t her own ❤️ love her voice my fav of all time!
This woman is on fire !
I would've sung "in the jungle, the mighty jungle the lion sleeps tonight.." The first thing that came up to my mind..
I thought of, “CONCRETE JUNGLE WET DREAM TOMATO.”
I thought she was going for Welcome to the Jungle!
I thought of Jungle Fever lol
Jungle Boogie
I thought of Welcome to the Jungle and how I would've shrieked it
Could we have Lin-Manuel Miranda next?? I'd love to see what he does with his love of hip-hop, rap, musical theatre, and his own songwriting!!
This has to be my favorite one of these!! Her soul is just so beautiful. I love her energy. She's just a gem! Yes, Alicia
She is GORGEOUS
SO IS HER VOICE
I love how passionate she is about music
She is just beautiful.. And I love the way she explains why she sang the song she sang and the musical beauty of of it..
