@@LilithsCosmicLoungeThey both wanted to divorce. You aware? They weren't an item anymore for years before it happened. Divorce just takes a long time unfortunately but they weren't angry then and they aren't now.
@@peoplestamthe “stacking” was all her which doesn’t equate to the full back track. Tammy Saunders & Andricka Hall did backing vocals for The other parts of this track. You can google it or even watch this full video instead of a couple second snippet of it if you wanna act like you know.
She wasn’t top charts when she first came out and a lot of people/organizations rejected her for not being the typical pop sound back in 99-2000s. Nothing else on the radio was like it. But if you’re a gen z baby you probably wouldn’t know this.
She's such a beautiful human, so full of intentionality and purpose in how she approaches her artistry and I love that she's a true school hip hop head
Her technique is different at the very least. It happens. Her voice can be very “breathy” and she tended to force the high notes/belting somewhere around Element of Freedom, and does sound a bit strained sometimes. That being said, I think she is still experimenting and embracing her new sound well. Instrumentals are top-notch and vocally she takes a lot of risks and I’m here for it.
I love to hear anyone talk who is passionate about their craft. It really doesn't matter what it is. I lOVE the passion and knowledge the person brings.
I was 10 here in Jamaica when this came out. My mom got me her CD and a CD player and I had this specific song on repeat none stop ❤ I was so inlove with her voice
I love it when singers do this! I remember hearing sessions and songs by Stevie Nicks with and without Fleetwood Mac do her own backup vocals and wails.
This song brings back memories of visiting my aunt in ATL as a kid as she drove us around in her new Acura. This song came on the radio every hour and we all tried to hit that high part and failed every time. My aunt passed away unexpectedly last year (after finally convincing the entire family to move to ATL) and this song will always remind me of her and that summer in ATL.
Beautiful! Genius too! Let us not forget the unsigned unknowned that belt this out as novice just doing what they were born with! Either way capculated or not , Shout out to all artist that move us❤
Alicia had EVERYONE in a chokehold when this dropped. What a time to be alive!
Hell yess! it was this background vocals that I would always love. It's a timeless song
couldn't have said it better.
What a time !!
Fu** yeah❤❤❤❤
For real. Goosebumps
I want to see more artists and producers deconstruct their work like this. Masterful.
Michael Jackson💞
@@jonesy2891someone who is ALIVE.
@@jonesy2891Facts all day RIP The Greatest to ever do it😃👍👍
Problem is there aren't many that as Intentional as her. There is great singing and even writing but not full on construction.
Check out the song exploder podcast. Artists go into the deep dive of the song itself too. But they also allow time to talk about the production.
She is smart, beautiful, & her voice is so powerful.

@@LilithsCosmicLoungey'all stay in people's business though..how can she marry a married man? That's begamy and is illegal.
Love the falling feeling she brought out. We all felt it. That was genius
after she brought the background singers in and hit that high "oouuttt"...love it
We love a MUSICIAN! ❤ Alicia Keys
RIP the late great Mr. Michael Jackson he did his music this way. I love Alicia. Im a huge fan
BACKGROUND SINGERS ARE THE 🔥!! THEY MADE THAT SONG!!!✔❤❤😢😢😢!!
if Alicia Keys could really sing she wouldn’t need background singers
@@MrLeeon24lol thank you. And yes the background singers absolutely made that song what it is.
@@MrLeeon24right. Her vocals are flat and boring
Whomever she had backing her was truly special because the final product put everybody on notice.
She did the background vocals herself
@@peoplestamshe specifically states in the video that she brought in backing vocals for the later portion shown in this clip 😅
@prettysemiD she also stated she did her own background vocals too...
@@peoplestamthe “stacking” was all her which doesn’t equate to the full back track. Tammy Saunders &
Andricka Hall did backing vocals for The other parts of this track. You can google it or even watch this full video instead of a couple second snippet of it if you wanna act like you know.
@@peoplestamalso at the end of this very video she literally says “I’ll never forget the day that THEY sang this” lol
Love the layering!
this is beautiful and it takes a very special ear to notice such talent i been hearing it since it dropped back when.
Did you really just pat yourself on the back for having a "special ear"?😂 It's the humility for me!
Lmfaooo a special ear to appreciate Alicia Keys? Mainstream Pop/Soul Diva who was top of the charts? Lol
humble brag😂
She wasn’t top charts when she first came out and a lot of people/organizations rejected her for not being the typical pop sound back in 99-2000s. Nothing else on the radio was like it.
But if you’re a gen z baby you probably wouldn’t know this.
That song was genius! And not just because this video but because the ranges I’ve studied music and this song had it❤❤❤❤
Alicia is amazing! I love how this arrangement was put together.
I LOVE A GOOD BACKGROUND VOCAL STACKS OMGGG my favorite part of music fr
She's such a beautiful human, so full of intentionality and purpose in how she approaches her artistry and I love that she's a true school hip hop head
She is one of my fave! Love her intelligence, creativity and soulfulness! A breath of musical fresh air!
She's a great songwriter and composer ❤
She layers so good ✅❤️
Sounds like a symphony 💕🎼🎶
This is why I’ve always loved Alicia music so well put together.
And we see her in her zone of musicianship, composer, arranger all with spiritual giftedness! It’s MAGIC! The falling isn’t cliche with this artistry.
I just adore her in so many ways and it was cool to see her talk about this and see your thoughts also ❤
This is the song i fell in love with at age 11 and has been a fanatic for her since. Im 33 now😂
I will never understand the people that say she can’t sing… she’s the definition of an artist
I thought they was saying she lost it
Yeah sadly she can’t sing like this anymore
She sacrificed her voice when she proudly made someone else husband her husband. Well that’s how the legend goes lol

She really is a good producer. Talented producer.
This is my all time favorite song from her.. especially when everyone came in powerful together ❤️ 😊
I love to hear anyone talk who is passionate about their craft. It really doesn't matter what it is. I lOVE the passion and knowledge the person brings.
Alicia is a whole choir on her OWN!
Iconic
What a way to break it down! 🔥
Forever a outstanding song writer composer an vocalist 💯❤️🔥
The piano that followed with it was genius
She is so beautiful and talented.
She is also modest. ❤❤❤
Absolutely a beautiful voice, in my opinion. I could listen to her all day.
Anybody else get chills 😊
I was 10 here in Jamaica when this came out. My mom got me her CD and a CD player and I had this specific song on repeat none stop ❤ I was so inlove with her voice
Not tto many artist can sing various notes flawlessly, stack it together then explain how they did it. Wow this is awesome❤😊
I love it when singers do this! I remember hearing sessions and songs by Stevie Nicks with and without Fleetwood Mac do her own backup vocals and wails.
MAD Respect for this young woman! She's on top of her game Period!

I always knew she did her own background(s) in this song 💪🏾💯 made me flashback to when I used to sing in the choir
One of my favorites 🎶 ❤
Whew !!! Always remembered when I first heard this 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Still one of the most beautiful songs ever!!
Love me some Alicia Keys!!! So Beautiful and genuine!! A beautiful soul!!!❤❤❤
My favorite album! Her braids were always FIRE!!!!
She’s always been an amazing artist
I still listen to this song faithfully till this day just because of that "falling" part. She sounds so freaking nice 😊
Best vocal / arrangements breakdown I've seen outside of Mariah, MJ and Miguel....I love this so much ❤
She's so lovely ❤
i could listen to this forever and ever
For her level of mastery I feel like even with all of her success, she is under-appreciated in the music world
The way she explained it is exactly how I heard it as a kid!
She is just perfection! Soulful mesmerizing voice and so naturally beautiful! She's never way over done, just all natural and is absolutely stunning
Beautiful then and Beautiful now, the song and you🌹🌹🌹👍👍🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
She did that👏🏾👏🏾
I always loved this song ❤

I like that she broke this down. I want people to some respect on Alicia’s name! Glad I'm in good company here.
I really don't know why people say she can't sing. I love her voice
And it’s that EXACT part that gives me goosebumps and makes my cry every time!

The 1st sing I’ve ever sang publicly in a talent show in high school. ❤ I loved & still love this song til this day. ✨ good memories ✨
I just love her!!
I always thought these were some of the fiercest back up parts in modern R&B
Fucking GENIUS this woman❤❤❤
Dear God, do I love Alicia. This woman has had me in tears and awe since elementary school.
When this dropped it was such a breath of fresh air! I remember thinking who is this dope ass chick?!
Beautiful! Genius too! Let us not forget the unsigned unknowned that belt this out as novice just doing what they were born with! Either way capculated or not , Shout out to all artist that move us❤
