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.

This shows Alicia’s passion for music so clearly! And I’m living for it✨

She has such a beautiful light. she is the definition of peace
She deserves everything and more
Absolutely love her! Hate how many ads were in this video though
Her Voice Is Sooooo Soothing Whether She Talkin Or Singing It’s Just Soothing🥰🥺💜
This woman is on fire !
She has a calming presence and all around positive vibes. The alicia album is also amazing❤
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!
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💗
