Gorgeous and Talented is this woman! Lovely 😊

[@dakotac180]

Yeah she's one of those artists that you know at least 5 of their songs back to back when it comes on. This was a cute interview hope she comes back.

[@bubblesezblonde]

Good interview thanks Seth.

[@nancyw8129]

I saw Alicia Keys perform at a corporate event a couple of weeks ago. She looked so incredibly happy singing. She did all of her great songs and an amazing version of The Eurythmics Sweet Dreams. And also in this interview her joy came through!!

[@KrucialCaya]

Wow what kind of corporate event? That’s awesome! I would’ve loved to be there!

[@nancyw8129]

It was a conference in Vegas. We had our own private 1 hour concert at the theatre in the hotel. Amazing!

[@adamkis3569]

Alicia Keys is a slow burn. She didn't rocket to superstardom like Taylor Swift or Beyoncé, but she's just as talented in my opinion, and is gradually -- finally! -- getting her due.

[@NewMessage]

I'd listen to her whisper alllll night.

[@javierrck18]

Incredibly talented and such an amazing voice.

[@Phoenix-nl2ut]

Gosh she’s so charming.

[@lashendawest7509]

We love alicia keys and seth meyers

[@Mathematchit]

Alicia Keys is a master of keys

[@candywarmuth6241]

When people my age, 71 say there is no good music these days, I laugh and think of Alicia. She is not alone but she is on top.

[@priyanktiwari5152]

I was listening to Empire New York at the gym today, the lyrics n the music just gives u the boost to lift some heavy weight

[@Tanagra180]

My girls and their sports team are crazy about "Underdog." We scream sing it with "This girl is on Fire" on the way to matches. It's such good energy for them. We LOVE Alicia!❤❤❤❤

[@Xrre343k7a3s]

Not to pit, but, I just really like the genuiness of Seth Meyers. I don't like or believe Jimmy Fallon to be genuinely kind; he comes across as a misanthrope, which leaked stories about his character and interview style suggest. Fallon and the whole projecting his inadequacies on the band to compensate, and prodding the guest to help him look cool, whereas Meyers is just into the guest and entertaining us at the same time. Anyway; two cents.

[@robinleebraun7739]

She’s awesome.

[@rocksedge2000]

You know you're talented when you go diamond singing about concrete jungles, wet dreams, and tomatoes.

[@rinuadegbite8571]

🍋 broadway platinum core

[@UatuOmega]

I thought I had had enough coffee this morning, yet I still misinterpreted the video title as Alicia Keys painting or drawing art on diamonds. 🙃

[@candywarmuth6241]

I though she got into creating diamond in a lab. Lol

[@shoelover4007]

Lol!

[@Sashtube075]

Haha!! I did the same. I pictured her doing those diamond paintings with the little beads.

[@carahowell4260]

She is amazing Alicia Keys.

[@giovannafarley4041]

Love her❤she seems so down to earth..just pleasant

[@JamesMurphy-vb1lu]

Another fantastic interview

[@kurtbrisch5776]

She owns one of the coolest houses on the west coast.

[@nannerz1994]

Honestly I remember watching her stuff on MTV growing up and I'm not at the biggest fan of that some people want it all song but god damn Seth can make anyone I'm a little iffy about be my new favorite person ever

[@PapaWooody]

Treble Clef Hair! 🎼

[@dr_hopekariuki]

She looks so perfect ❤️

[@eternalsunshine7006]

❤️

[@loganswiss6903]

Alicia Keys has so much talent and has such a beautiful soul that it is impossible not to see it radiates here! Such a beautiful smile & laugh too! Beauty is Alicia Keys ❤❤❤

[@JZidor]

If i ain't got u is timeless

[@millyarscott8656]

Amazing Lady but I have to say I don't like what she is wearing tonight.

[@Chelle89]

Did anyone else see this title and think that she designed diamond ring or something? Never heard of a Diamond musical artist.

[@damiosibodu4382]

Hell's Kitchen is the Junior High School Cafeteria

[@jamielunes1841]

CONCRETE JUNGLE ❤

[@darkcadence938]

Amazing interview she is impeccable beauty and Grace

[@AngelHoll-pr8fz]

Ashanti or Alicia who is more beautiful? Hard choice both women are beautiful!!!!

[@yelawolfpackheidielliott7112]

Alicia is a whole vibe!!! Love her!!!

[@HopefulCanadian]

OMGOSH I LOVE HER LAUGH 🥰🥰

[@cabronicusmaximuschingonic1062]

What happened to her?!

[@AntonioJones-sc8mk]

I can Sense Her Intelligence before Her Beauty. She’s Especially Special.

[@ckelly8833]

Love her so much 😍💝❤

[@coquijibarito]

Wow .... she seems different but I cant tell what it is .......

[@ofeksh]

soooooo no one cares about her involvement in the DIDDY parties.... ok.

[@pesmerga4862]

imagine having all that money and having your hair look like that

[@Lovness]

Well, it's official she looks younger than me, even though I'm 10 years younger 😅

[@wolfreturns]

Certified bad haircut.

[@ericB3444]

Worst hairstyle since George Washington

[@danadorham3045]

Alicia we know your black,quit messing up your hair and accept your natural beauty

[@emmsmom1848]

She is one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen with a voice to match the beauty of her face 🩷

[@ShogunZIlla]

WTF happened to her hair?

[@KYLETISZAI]

Ok, thank you

[@vasanaworthy9447]

Luminati,

[@FemaleAussieJackal]

This is not going to age well. Will it ? Jay Z friends yikes

[@h7opolo]

how can she be a song writer if she resorts to the cliche descriptors "insane", "crazy", "incredible"? fraud

[@diehardWNBA.fan.since.May.2024]

The jacket draped over her shoulders like that is not a good look. Either wear the jacket or don't.

[@swapshots4427]

What an awful hairstyle.

[@-xirx-]

Diddyn't Alicia Keys attend those freak-offs??

[@justicejay4344]

Grow up

[@-xirx-]

@@justicejay4344 it is a serious question. She did attend those diddy parties, didn't she?

[@Gmez759]

@@-xirx-Patti labelle also attended a couple of parties at diddy’s house. It doesn’t mean she was part of the freak offs. Two different things.. Use your brain.

[@EvesRevenge]

"She did, didn't she?" Man, you don't start with She did, if you follow with clearly not knowing. 😢❤❤❤ ​@-xirx-

[@ardithb3856]

Her deadbeat husband did. I think he dimmed her light a little bit.

[@UB3RTU8E]

Looks like a dog ate a cat and then got diarrhea, all over her head

[@mathewmcfool]

it's her the woman i saw in my dreams

[@niacal4nia]

Ozempic face?
