Alicia Keys | The Untold Stories of My Super Bowl Halftime Performance

[@jehanr]

Wish they talked about the voice crack and her reaction to it! This makes that moment so human

[@Rose24224]

@@cashflowpro85everyone assumes it’s AI all of a sudden now that it’s popular but usually when things like this happen they use audio from previous performances. I’m assuming they used rehearsal audio.

[@MsSkyisblack]

I FEEL LIKE THEY USED THIS AS A WAY TO EXPLAIN THE CAPE WAS WHAT CAUSED THE VOICE CRACK😂😂 like gurl you was nervous

[@LeeMubai33]

​@@MsSkyisblack I don't think it was nerves, I think her voice genuinely went out because she really struggled on My Boo.

[@maylee209]

Totally agree, was waiting for a reaction, that's so woman to say "this didn't want as I wish" !

[@sugaray7435]

Honestly I wouldn’t want to talk about it! All this prep to go on stage and crack I would be mad at myself but thinking about it or talking about it would make it real. We heard it, she heard. We know she can sing, she knows. We don’t need a reaction on it!!

[@carpediem9015]

When Alicia came out at the Super Bowl, I went NUTS. AK is not only so deserving but she’s one of our legends/ICONS that doesn’t get the recognition she deserves! ❤❤❤❤💐💐💐💐

[@soni1661]

I agree 💯.

[@SonnyGWAP]

She was literally the best part of the show

[@ArticSun]

She's really just OK. No where near legend status..

[@Militarywife0310]

Same I was so happy to see her in that performance.usher and everyone did a great job.

[@Shea3224]

​@@ArticSun, Look it's a miserable internet Karen/Troll. 🙄🤣 I mean Her long Career/Grammys/ & Fan base say otherwise. How many Grammys you have Karen/troll? 🙄🤣

[@EpsyWarrior]

The lil man smiling so hard from Billie's video response made me smile at his expression. 😁

[@johntylerscores]

The amount of production that only went into Alicia’s part really makes me wonder about the production for the entire usher performance. Well done !

[@MelloBelloPhotoStudio]

It must be be super hectic

[@brittany8547]

The greatness of Alicia is beyond words.. in every aspect of everything.. in all things she does.. I can't ever get enough. And truly there is no energy that compares to the light & love that she shines upon us. 🤍✨️ ILYSM!

[@TameykaLLove]

When Usher pointed and I saw that there was a piano and then I heard the beginning of If I ain't got you, I screamed! I loved it. I loved it! If you are seeing this and you have not seen A Keys in concert, you gotta do yourself a favor and go the next time she tours. I missed her last summer, I hope she will tour again soon.

[@timsmith8506]

I’ve seen her six times including at Webster hall in NYC for the 20th anniversary for The Diary of AK……she is absolutely outstanding live. I was 12 feet away from her at Webster hall!!!!! I’m going to see her probably 20-30 more times God willing.

[@kimamethyst6338]

I'm so glad you showed how much work goes into that moment. Some folks scrutinized Alicia voice so much. It was ridiculous. I enjoyed every minute of this performance. You looked beautiful Alicia

[@caitcc89]

I love this woman so much. Her music has healed me on many occasions. Thank you for sharing this gift with us! She absolutely slayed that performance and I’m obsessed with her fire red look!

[@MAruGGs]

Alicia, thank you for being a light to so many of us, you’ve always had a unique, beautiful, creativity and freedom of expression! Like so many your music has soothed me through some of the lowest and isolated times. As someone who makes beats, I would just close my eyes and imagine hearing you singing in the studio, and that helped a great deal 🙏🕊️

[@Ceedeetunis]

The comment that you made in passing, about embracing the process instead of focusing on the possible outcomes, resonates with me so much. All of my stress and anxiety emanates from my overactive thoughts about the things that could possibly go wrong. At the end of the day, things end up working out just fine but I always miss the beauty of the process. My anxiety is not what fixes whatever issues there is. It is the process that does. In your case: rehearsals, fittings, equipment checks etc…..

[@TiffyTindell]

I tweaked when you came out girl!! This was so cool to watch the process!

[@RivasIgnacio]

[@lotusphoenix8]

Vocals were not on point, they were edited. I hate that they hide the imperfections because it creates a false illusion and we're not connecting to the actual reality of the art.

[@seektruth5750]

Don’t do that, vocals were not on point but she’s lovely regardless

[@spouq023]

​@@lotusphoenix8exactly now it is edited and reality don't matter this could be meaningful but no they chose to pretend it was perfect

[@yvonnelopez7467]

The vocals in this clip were not the one’s we heard live on TV. Please be real. Hearing her voice made people cringe.

[@keagenknock]

Although her voice was cringe it still sounded good. Her voice is unique and she’s amazingly talented. Period….

[@thehappylife4471]

She has one of the most soothing voices! She did an amazing job. I never thought about how much work goes into performances like this. There is so much going on, and for her to be able to sing flawlessly like she did speaks volumes of her talent and professionalism.❤

[@holyghostgirlb]

I throughly enjoyed the entire half time show from start to finish.. but when I saw Alicia and everything red and those first few notes she sang, I immediately got emotional. Hands down my favorite half time show to date. Thank you for all the prep and intentionality that went into this historic moment Queen!

[@robinsierra1029]

I am not a sports fan so I saw the whole usher performance separately afterwards. And I was completely blown away when Alicia came on stage with that magnificent red cape flowing behind her. I was stunned to see her and so happy for her. And she is so deserved. Such a great voice and a wonderful human.

[@Abeylius]

Wow! She's so amazing!

[@CarlaJanuarioOFICIAL]

Alicia, I don't know if you will read my comment... To me, you definitely put 'FIRE' right along with Usher at this Super Bowl LVIII Halftime Show. AK, you made history again!!!! 🏆🦌💯✨ Btw, I just wanna said thanks for your hard and beautiful work done together with AK team. Even all of us, fans and admirers, realize your voice 'cracked' at the beginning of the song be it for countless reasons, which I have no knowledge of because I don't understand anything about music or vocal techniques, in add to the perception of countless critics and haters on social medias who are ready to 'sink your musical career through a simple slip'... After all, this was so imperceptible and we all know that you have already declared several times that you don't care and that is so insignificant compared to the greatness that you are, did, do and will do much more in the R&B music industry without needing to prove anything to anyone. You're unique, talented, incredible and you looked very beautiful with that perfect red outfit accompanied by that magnificent piano, leaving all the viewers surprised with your usual creativity and innovation! I was thrilled to see you back on stage, because, in fact, you belongs there. For me, watching you through a sports TV program for just a few minutes at the same time is emotional, beautiful and nostalgic. This reminded me of my childhood, around the age of 7 when I stayed at my aunt's house with my cousins, I watched in my humble opinion, one of the best R&B performances through a Brazilian program that broadcast the songs most listened to songs in the early 00's and I had the opportunity to watch the video clip 'My Boo' for the 1st time in my life, you and Usher. I confess, that through this song about love, even though I don't understand the English language, you "touched" my heart with your soft and sweet voice, I also remember that you danced softly in a sexy/shy way with Usher and in mine childish mentality without knowledge, you were a couple... It was so crazy!!! It was only then, from my adolescence, that I researched your personal life and I know you and Usher were never a couple. Poor child with a fertile mind! Lol! 😩🤣😭🥴 Anyway, every time I watched you more I started to admire you as a person, singer and artist... So, until this present days. Finally, Alicia, know that you will always be 'MY BOO' that God gave us to this world and enchants me every day through your beautiful voice, authenticity, your multi talents, mistakes and successes, your perception of the world, your inner light, creativity, lightness of being, natural beauty, intelligence, wisdom, your love through your music and above all, your humanity that only you have! Big love from Brazil, I admire and lLYSM, AK!!!!!!!!!!! 🤩🎶🎤🎹👏🏽🔥🏈💜🔑🇧🇷
