ALICIA KEYS - PEOPLE GET READY

[@capri300]

Alicia always finds a ways to render songs beautifully. No matter how many times you've heard them, it always seems as if it was the first time when when miss keys sings them! just awsome...

[@kokede]

nothing beats the curtis mayfield's original, but this is a commendable effort. alicia keys is one of very few contemporary r&b artistes who are worthy succesors to the rich musical tradition of soul/rhythm n blues.

[@Pricelessdiamond28]

Powerful Song!!! ❤️ People get ready..,.. ❤️ You don't need no baggage. Just get on board.. I want to thank you Lord Powerful SMH Alicia voice gave me chills. Simply Anointed! ❤️

[@catanlorca]

this great song was written by Curtis Mayfield. What a gift ! Thank you, Curtis.

[@abderrahimkachour769]

2019...Glory Road the epic end of the movie just brought me here ❤❤ I have watched the movie so many times but I just can't get enough of it

[@furr878]

Not many people around today could cover this so well. Curtis would be proud!

[@daisyrmusic]

That was breath-taking! Alicia's voice is flawless!!!!!!!!!

[@DragonOne1]

This song brings a tear to my eye everytime I hear it. It reminds me of Glory Road. We can all work together and tear wall of hatred and injustice down. God Bless, One Love to all.

[@Reggaesoul5446]

There is an argument that says "People Get Ready" is the greatest songs ever written and I struggle to find a counter argument. Mr. Mayfield RIP

[@anitabreakone]

B-utiful! How can anyone have anything bad to say about Alicia after this performance She is openly and publicly thanking the Lord. Very humble and not ashamed to profess how she feels. Much respect and love.

[@fromspace7]

Aww I remember hearing this years ago when I was a teenager and I was so moved by the message and praise to the Lord (who I did not know at the time). Later on I was saved by the grace of God and now I am HIS hallelujah

[@flytommy1]

Eva Cassidy had the voice of an angel..I love Alicia, and of course Curtis, but Eva left us way too soon. The best female voice ever. RIP Eva

[@Tejano44]

Awesome talent and song . Thanks for posting this classic .

[@radioactivekaraoke]

Such a beautiful rendition of a classic tune. I saw this in the movie 'Glory Road' .

[@jeanromo23]

What a beautiful lady & song! love her!

[@yael8907]

Wow!! Inspiration to the core. Love Alicia and love the beautiful performance on american idol! This is gonna be my anthem. You just Thank the Lord!!!

[@IncredibleC85]

[@ladytmac100]

Glory road brought me here

[@ladytmac100]

***** lol that's okay

[@messayousa9982]

Lol same

[@AliciaKys-v7k]

Very good Alicia, I love this song . All we is faith, you just get on board

[@lovelymusic92]

I love her cover of this song---amazing!

[@bobeagle3]

Curtis Mayfield was known as the poet! A great songwriter and singer-performer; although Alicia is really good. God worked on this little girl and her mommy.

[@shuntaimusic]

Great Job Sister Alicia, thanks, the message is well received.

[@crazytrain111]

Alicia has the best voice right now, jeeeezzz she can sing anyting

[@quaddrix07]

Eva Cassidy gave a sweet soulful version, too. But hearing Curtis is the bomb! I loved Alicia's version, too.

[@tajmabruno]

Wonderful rendition by a talented artist.

[@michaelrowedtheboat]

Alicia, you have a beautiful voice. Peace and love, Hes coming back just like He said He would......... yours in kindness

[@jp2times998]

Her voice cracked at the end! She thought she was gonna hit the note easy. But that literally was the only time she was off key cause she sang this song wonderful respectively in her lower octave.

[@itastarceymess15]

i love Alicia's voice

[@costamesa22]

Keys 🎹 is pure class. This performance is 10 👍

[@natedaug1]

Good version of this song. This song is a Christian praise song, which is cool.

[@guitarcharmer]

Thank you Alicia. I feel better man then before I hear it.

[@Patrick333344]

The greatest voice ever

[@CharlieBo313]

That is so not true.

[@laurenlumsden9069]

CharlieBo313 yea actually it is

[@philiprose2784]

I suppose its a matter of opinion, but go and watch the Joss Stone cover of this track, it blows it straight out of the water.

[@donavansimms9097]

Seriously

[@AmIRealYouTube]

I love Alicia Keys! I also love Crystal Bowersox's version ;)

[@Mayaah89]

I love this song !!!!

[@benny_august]

Curtis! True Legend!!!!

[@anitabreakone]

Not fake, not oversung. Just beautiful.

[@radhaaishwary180]

People get ready There's a train a-coming You don't need no baggage You just get on board All you need is faith To hear the diesels humming Don't need no ticket You just thank the lord People get ready For the train to jordan Picking up passengers From coast to coast Faith is the key Open the doors and board them There's room for all Among the loved the most There ain't no room For the hopeless sinner Who would hurt all mankind just To save his own Have pity on those Whose chances are thinner Cause there's no hiding place From the kingdom's throne So people get ready For the train a-comin' You don't need no baggage You just get on board! All you need is faith To hear the diesels humming Don't need no ticket You just thank, you just thank the lord Yeah Ooh Yeah Ooh I'm getting ready I'm getting ready This time i'm ready This time i'm ready

[@marmitehighway]

With all due respect to the other artists who have performed (and in the case of Curtis Mayfield written) this song, I think I'll go back to listening to Eva's Cassidy's version. Blows everything else out of the water.

[@coryanderson5210]

Agreed. I love Jeff Beck on the guitar but recently heard Evas version. Jesus is the way, the truth the life. No one can come to the father but through him.

[@adls08]

NOW, THIS IS MUSIC. I miss the OLD Alicia. Is there any way we can get her back on that piano...? (Just from one musician to another....)

[@RNBdancer23]

loooove this song !!!! beautiful alicia 3

[@318prettyeyes]

Alicia did so good on this song

[@lifeaparadisevlogz4051]

GLORY ROAD

[@Kramermanhimself]

The best of R&B!

[@Kimmica20]

Some people need to give Alicia credit, she did a great job. Of course nothing is better than the original, but stop putting her down.

[@blackprix]

I love Alicia but no one did this better than the man who wrote it ... Curtis Mayfield!!

[@itsabird]

alicia keys is amazing.

[@NiiX83]

Regardless of who sings this song! All CREDIT is due to the SONG, LYRICS, MELODY & HARMONY!! Blessed!!

[@poetryselite]

Beautiful performance of one of the most conscientious songs of all-time... if Lyfe were there, the performance would've been that much better. Nevertheless, Alicia repped this like a champ... neva forgettin to give thanks to God... that's real.

[@angelsparks6318]

Jah Bless Sister Alicia u sang that so sweet.

[@sir.donjennerogorrell1243]

? goúd? Awesome bruv 🍃 🍾 💐👍🏼.. Thx u 🍻 🙌🏽 💀 😤 ♎️....

[@holidaykingston]

curtis mayfield the most underrated artist ever

[@charisarmstrong2980]

God bless well done girl! :)

[@ajr0988]

[@dreemaze]

I'm diggin the hair, half weave - half fro

[@LukeCageforhire]

Alicia sing it girl! do your thing!

[@partyallnight28]

@adls08 i reckon the new album is going to be more like this. Should of seen her at her "Piano&I" shows in 2011. Now that was jaw dropping!

[@king23james1000]

Lool glory road brought me here too

[@ThebestVogt]

Rod Stewart!!!! music beuatifull!!! Brasil a gente se por aqui!!!

[@ThePianoguy89]

@jamesboyd101 She did murdered this song. She delivered and sang beautifully.

[@paulfienga9466]

Glory road my all time faverite film

[@fishzard]

thank you Lord :)

[@electrotech3000]

I like alicia keys and her albums. I just wanted to make an opinion. Is the opinion still mine or I have to fake it. I like original artists in any area. It includes (music,comedy,actors,ma, and every day of life. I think we are all artists.(Human Beings)

[@DevilFox92]

same here :P great song!

[@kentbeery8653]

she's Amazing

[@muhddiallison8482]

Im looking for the video that Alicia sang this song with Lyfe Jennings

[@teenatchie1313]

No one can sang this song like Curtis Mayfield & the impressions

[@capri300]

just close your eyes and listen. 3:13 minutes of escape and pure joy.

[@deltamx]

she is in the billie holiday class ...and aretha franklin

[@vmi3301]

Nobody can beat Curtis and the Impressions, but this is the next best thing...That Dusty Springfield version is hard to listen to.

[@iqkid1212]

crystal and alicia should have done a duet! hopefully for the finals! :)

[@Kramermanhimself]

Curtis Mayfield... RIP!

[@jamesboyd101]

Call the police because someone just murdered a classic! Truly, truly missed the feel of this song.

[@Shortymac55]

she did a good job

[@HoneyedSunsets]

I LOVE this songg

[@val91201]

@ubootwaffe Beck and Joss Stone, the best version ever!

[@gxployer]

now u know why Bob Dylan likes her so much

[@LesGovt]

Crystal should easily be the next American Idol, but this song belongs to Curtis Mayfield and the Impressions. For this song, they were the best.

[@SAmber331]

Beautiful!! thats the only word for it... WHo is the woman they keep showing.??. kinda embarassed to ask since its probably someone i am supposed to know =P

[@Kimzilla6]

In a world of individuals let's just enjoy every persons version of this song. How boring would it be if everyone sang it the same way?

[@sjparki]

SEAL also does a very cool version.....

[@dusroots]

Aretha's version is still the best in my opinion!

[@dwannbrown2565]

LET THEM MR.ROOTS!! I LOVE MRS.KEYS BUT MRS. AREATHA VERSION IS GREATEST OF ALL!!!

[@dwannbrown2565]

EXCUSE THE TYPOS (SMILE)

[@dusroots]

@@dwannbrown2565 she's not the queen for nothing! Lol

[@lamarpaylor2002]

alicia should have sung this at whitneys' funeral!!!!!

[@laurenlumsden9069]

Lamar Paylor that was so sad

[@leoanna24]

goosebumps..

[@anthonygreen4288]

There was a video up on KZbin of her and luge Jennings singing this live, any idea where I can find it, it's not up anymore

[@anthonygreen4288]

*lyfe

[@Being_John]

Why are y'all arguing just listen to the song...if you don't like it listen to something else...

[@herskovicmd]

@natedaug1 it is a song of faith. try dropping the labels and get on the train :)

[@SaypheZonE]

@oso75904 cuz most young people these days don't know good music and just listen to all this rap mixed with techno.

[@rockemstockum]

@tamaranow AMEN!!!!

[@MrRazorblade999]

Blessed woman

[@badleeroy]

Alicia does this very well. However, the standard bearer, with apologies to Curtis Mayfield, is Eva Cassidy.

[@ThePianoguy89]

@alleyezsonme0212 I agree with everything you said! Alicia Keys did a great job covering this song and Fantasia does NOT sound better than her!

[@Crates94]

@adls08 i want her back on the piano too... mmm literally

[@lalalolo2514]

super Alicia

[@SAmber331]

@joydevive oohh.. okay.. thank you =)

[@LesGovt]

@beardown2489 The meaning of my post was simply to say that no one can equal the original version. There have been songs where the cover is better than the original. That's not the case here. That is all I meant.

[@Rodzinnearchiwum]

@baseballrocs Curtis Mayfield made this song for real, the rest is awesome

[@beardown2489]

@LesGovt well obviously it belongs to them. they wrote it. crystal has to sing other peoples songs on Idol, so every song she sings "belongs" to someone else...

[@ThePianoguy89]

@LACraig621 She made it because of her talent. That's a complete lie. If you find her music bland, then that's personal taste because many people love her music.

[@edwardo9321]

jealsousy is a heavy inspired creepy directed by the devil thing this woman has more talent in herpinky finger than those of you who apose her more woman than most men qualify for GOD BLESS AND KEEP HER IN HIS LOVE ..

[@RickMu]

Jonathan Edwards covers this quite nicely
