Watching Alicia with her dad makes me happy. I'm 37 now and I'm parentless. I lost my mom when I was six and I just lost my dad. So watching Alicia making peace with her dad makes me happy. She is one good daughter.
He regrets it for many reasons. She accomplished so much success on her own without his contributions to her life. He is not able to take any credit for her success. He was blessed with such a special daughter that he ignored most of her life. Unlike him, Alicia opened her heart to him, something he could not reciprocate to his own father. In spite of it all, God gave both of them a chance to connect & heal.
I love how all she wants is be a happy woman and finds ways to do that without living all the past strugles even living then in her heart. She is a poetry

I've always admired Alicia, but never personally followed her. She's in a class of her own, and I do pick up on her spirit of realness and how important it is to be genuine, or just to be yourself. When I saw her a few years ago where she decided to not wear makeup anymore, that showed me that she was tapping more into being her raw self. Alicia, thanks for sharing who you're privately and personally. I feel people love you more when they can see you're human and go through like everyone else. I love your relationship with your husband and , it shows no one is trying to control who you are. Again, this is my first time following Alicia Keys, and I am glad I did, she's marvelous, and even more, she's a Nubian Queen. May GOD forever bless your marriage, your family, your friends, your followers, and your career. 🙏❤️🙏

"I...SHINE...AT FULL WATTAGE!" I read somewhere, that some people come into your life for a season, a reason, or a lifetime. Growth can give us a sense of freedom. A level of understanding can allow us to forgive. This conversation appeared to have given a sense of peace. I just watched a blessing unfold.
I paused the video just as she lit her candle, closed her eyes and said, "I shine, at full, wattage. I. SHINE. At full, wattage." Brought me to tears. Crazy how hard we can be on ourselves but if we, not only knew this, but felt it about ourselves... what a full life to live. And such true words to live by.
@@ladyatilano40 I definitely felt chills at that moment. Makes you wonder what I could have already achieved at this point had I only knew that. Alicia is so grounded and wise.

I saw my biological person a few times growing up. Had a rough life growing up with a single Mom whom herself had been abused as a child so she never really figured life out. For the sake of myself after my children were grown I decided to try and find him and I did. I First thing I said was” wait please don’t hang up”. I just wanted you to know that I forgive you and I truly hope hope that you have a peaceful life”. We talked for about 5 minutes in which he had said” let’s meet for breakfast”. Two weeks later he cancelled and said” I don’t think he could have a relationship with me because he knew he would just hurt me. So it’s good to forgive and Alicia you and your Father are better for it. I have not talked with him since. He only lives 40 minutes away from me always has been that close. Thanks for sharing it will encourage many others to try and maybe show Fathers that just because the didn’t do what they should of there’s always a chance to make it up some of the way if they want to.
They are fortunate that they have been blessed to have this time to get to know each other...so many don't get this opportunity. ..Alicia is a beautiful, talented and spiritual woman. Her father is lucky that she is so gracious and forgiving...

It’s crazy, I grew up literally, on Alicia. Like, A Minor came out when I was a 6. And now at 25, I feel like I’m finally learning about so much of that time.
I would love to see Alicia play Lena Horne in a bio pic movie. It's like Lena Horne reincarnated. Her dad has such beautiful skin, he doesn't look older at all. It's like she's helping him heal. She learned to make peace throughout her life.

I can relate to that single mother raising me and my siblings and one thing I learned in my 50 years on this earth is no matter what you have achieved in your life it still hurts when you think back on why your dad left the family and all the hardships you watched your mother went through to protect her kids and hustle to feed them,I can tell you it made me fearful of being a father I had this crazy feeling that I would follow in my father's footsteps and there was no way in hell I was going to repeat that cycle, fast forward to present and I have 5 kids of my own and I will never abandon them plus I am about to be a grandfather can't wait for the day when that baby is born
My dad and I are trying to build a relationship as well. Alicia made me realize it is normal to still feel pain behind my father's absence even though we are in a good place.
My dad just reached out to me in my 30s. Phone convos only because he's essentially a stranger and I am so guarded from the hurt of his absence. I tried so hard but have come to the conclusion he isn't mature enough emotionally for the relationship he wants with me. It's heartbreaking. Alicia's dad seems like he's doing the work and I'm happy for her.
A friend of mine has a father who lives right next door to him. They are separated by a fence yet they never had a relationship at all. He's just another OG from the block. My friend cries every now and then when he's drunk. It's unbelievable
This touched me so deeply! I’m laying here in tears. Life has a way of taking our power away but I love how she has taken her power back and now lives it and it shows. Her and her Dad connecting later in life is a true blessing. I love her soul. It’s absolutely BEAUTIFUL 😍
I LOVE her spirit! I listen and watch a woman that looks like me and has had similar experiences. If you paid attention the woman overall said, she has an old soul. We've been here before and are manifested into a new body with the experiences we've had from the past. I always loved her and understand I, ME 'admire' nobody. Alicia YOU ARE AN OUTSTANDING MANIFESTATION of manifesting!!
*Thank you for making this Alicia.* I’ve always been a fan of your music because of the human connection. This takes that to the next level. Very brave and authentic.
This is a perfect example of being true to yourselves, mental strength over falling for a defeated attitude, perseverance always through life disappointments. People let's follow this great example in our own lives. Thanks you Alicia for sharing this with us, love you and your family🤗🤗🌎💒
Oh my goodness Alicia Keys, you have been one of the few artists that I have followed since I was a little girl living in Germany. It is because you are an amazingly whole woman that I, and others can relate to in many ways. Thank you for sharing another part of yourself with us, this is much cherished. Continue to shine at full Wattage, I really try to follow that in my life. 💖
Am I the only one crying here? This session/part 2 is DEEP--> it’s most certainly triggered a plethora of weighted memories that’ve kept me drowning in silence for so damn long~ “I chose Keys, because I play the keys, obviously…but keys open doors, & I wanted to open EVERY door…” 💥💪🏼
I felt it when you said "I met him and made him my friend" or something around that... in reference to your father. I had the same dad experience, I hope I will see it from this angle and pull away from that "daddy absent drama" and see him as a friend now. Oh I cannot wait for a song you would do about Daddys and Daughters- the missing piece! "Raise a man" was one hell of a song! You inspire me Alicia Keys. Love from a Nigerian girl to you.
This hits home to my core. I am building my relationship with my father and its getting better every day. Love whole hearted and being open with one another is important. Listen to both, yourself and others who you surround yourself with 💕
It made me cry tears of ( JOY ) to see and understand the connection between your father and yourself and also ( SMILE ) at how your ( PARENTS ) formed your name ❣️
Butterflies is one of my favorite songs and her explanation of you being an old soul was exactly how I felt when I heard it and held it in total rotation. My mother always said Alicia was older beyond her years at like, 16 years old when I was listening to her
This was so powerful. You always imagine how the rich and famous are so different from us. That they live a glamorous, happy and fulfilling life. But they live a life very much like every day average people. Only they’re life is played out for millions and millions of people to watch, while we do the same but only in our small circle of family and friends. I respect Alicia so much for this segment, because I am living the same journey with my father and how my mother raised me alone. And I’m quite sure that many people have experienced the same thing. Thanks 🙏🏾 for sharing this.
I adore Alicia keys, been listening to her since I was in elementary school. To this day she's so inspirational, she's famous and stopped wearing make up, still beautiful too! Appreciate her honesty in the music industry as well
Her house is incredible. When I seen the pics when they first bought it I thought there was no way it could be turned into a family “home” but they did!! It’s Jaw dropping 🤩
This was so real, raw and beautiful. It made me turn inward and acknowledge my mistakes and faults throughout life. Thank you for such a loving and insightful look inside your life. ❤
This is absolutely beautiful! You ALL are ENOUGH! We may always have to deal with a limp in life and that's OK, as long as we don't allow it to paralyze us. Dream BIG, create your own rules and walk to the beat of your own drums. Never follow the masses, follow your heart but always allow God to lead you! You are enough friends!!
I feel so connected to you Alicia, we have similar experiences and similar fears. The Blessing that we are both Meditators and a way of fueling our realities as to what we want is a Gift. I share in some of your energies. I can share those as well . May we always be kindred spirits. Thank you for sharing Alicia !!!
I’m so glad you and your father had this conversation and continue to do so.. it’s a process. 💜 Thank you for your vulnerability and for sharing this extremely personal journey with us. 🙏🏿
“Keys open doors” , so honest and raw here. The strength you have to reach out and reconnect with your dad comes from a holy place and a pure heart. 💜 Alicia’s light shines so bright.
Having grown up listening to your music and having interpreted it in my own way, it's crazy when I finally get to hear you tell the story behind your songs and just your life. No longer putting you on a pedestal that you never asked to be placed on but seeing you as an equal, a human being. That's beautiful. Thank you for sharing yourself with us 😊.
Alicia you good…because I didn’t bother after 18! My Dad missed out on everything with me! He’s gone now. I guess the boys take it harder because we watch our mothers struggle and juggle raising us. I forgive him….you’re a class act for this.🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
“He was willing to be invisible for me” not “I don’t think he was jealous of me”. 👑🙏🏾🕊⚓️🐉🔥 That’s a very grown woman mature statement right there. Greater insight into the hearts of men.👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 love u, Alicia Keys!
I really LOVE the cinematography and editing in these videos!!! I also appreciate the richness of the conversations. Who produced this? They did an awesome job.
@@kimberlygarrett5643 sending hugs ❤️❤️ the older I get the more I realize my parents did the best they were capable of. we may not always get the apology we are owed. But we can still choose to walk in forgiveness and victory 🙌🏼
I'm happy for her. I understand her pain and emptiness while growing up. Even though she did well without him, money and success didn't fill that void. I'm happy she's filling it now.
I feel like this is the first time she’s really been THIS open about her personal life. I’m grateful to her for this level of vulnerability because so much healing happens when we witness other people’s healing 🥺
Forgiveness is a powerful and courageous gift that we bless ourselves with. I pray that those pieces in your heart and your father’s heart is made whole. Your art is a healing for many of us.🙏🏽
I'm happy that she reconnected with her father in this sincere way. Creating that new bridge brings so much healing. I wish them all the best on their healing and growth.
Sorry about your dad that he wasn’t there at the earlier stages of your life. It takes two to make love and then have a baby and it should be 2 raising the child. I can definitely relate because my mom wasn’t there a lot in my life also. Thank u for sharing your story love it was nice to hear u open up Alicia Keys I appreciate u ! ❤️
Her dad didn’t connect because it was a one night stand type thing. No excuses for treating a child like that. He could have got some therapy to accept her.

Beautiful story it is. I reconnected with my Dad after 30 years apart just last year. Raised by a single Mom...she passed away but before her death she said make peace with your Dad. Not an easy road ..but forgiveness is everything! Peace is everything!, Thanks for Sharing Alicia!!!
Until now, it was always "speculated" that Krucial Keys was a couple... I love how she has honoured her relationship with him in this piece, even if things didn't work out, when it was good, it was good 🎵🎵👌🏾👌🏾❤❤
Alicia is so in touch with her feelings and amazingly, intellectually stimulating. If I were a much younger man she would be completely out of my league. This is grown folks “stuff.”
I love your videos! The one with Swizz makes me believe love like that does exist and we’re all deserving. This one really hit home, specifically the talk with your dad, it had me in tears. I tried to have the same conversation with my father and his response was I was destined for this life, I was destined to have parents that were addicts. I told him that we can’t change the past, accountability could have kept us moving forward. Thank you for your videos and letting us in ♥️
I love how relatable you are Alicia. You say so many things that I have said verbatim in my diary; especially when it comes to life and dealing with people. You have to stay vigilant; like seriously! A sad truth or you will get played at every turn, and I haven't even done a fraction of the things you have. Your voice sounds more beautiful every year and I truly think it is because you are finding and accepting yourself and realizing your power to make things happen and believing in your connection to music and your ability to forgive and to move on. I got the feels when you mentioned "over everything" I totally get it. Overperforming, overdoing, overaccepting, overhelping, over going out of my way, over EVERYTHING! I've done it. And it eventually means nothing to the people who seem to be thankful for it. I don't do that anymore. Moving on is something that can chain people for many years and never even know it! "Keys, because keys open doors" I often wondered how you got the name. I always said it had to be much more meaningful than just she plays the piano extraordinarily well. Now I know :) Thank you :D
It's an Amazing background. God rewarded your mother with your talent. May Alicia Augello Cook's be more and more blessed. She raised an exceptional WOMAN
My wife that I never married. I love her with my whole heart. Swizz is really blessed to have this awesome woman give her whole self to him wholeheartedly.
I'm sooo emotional Alicia! My dad was dying of stage 4 cancer in 2011 and I wanted to do a documentary like this with my dad and someone discouraged me from the idea. I regret not being strong enough to do it anyway. I hate that I don't have that memory on video.

My prayer for A Keys is that she continues in her authenticity; accepting and embracing the Divine path that has been destined for her. My soul is enriched witnessing, in this clip, her relationship with her dad being repaired in spite of the past. So many are bound by the negatives of their past and cannot get beyond it. I also appreciate her candor about Crucial. It was heartwarming! I pray that he knows that she respects and honors his contribution to her career and that he harbors no resentment toward her. I’ve always admired A Keys as an upstanding artist. And I don’t champion many artist. But Alicia has always had a certain confidence, modesty, spirituality and self-respect that, in my opinion, is applaudable. Oh yea…and congrats on becoming “independent!”
I'm in literal tears on my way home from Upstate... because I am going through this current stage where I risk it all and do unhealthy things to push the barrier because of the what ifs... and I am out here going from event to event putting in my all
You encourage me to have a better relationship with my father…❤️ I never knew how but now I have to develop vulnerability. I have to open up. I don’t know why I’m so ashamed of it. But I know now if I want a better relationship with him, that’s the first step. Put my pride aside.
What a beautiful, intense, and hopeful piece. Can’t wait to hear her new songs. It felt great to hear people chatting out such tender topics. Thank you, dear giving and loving soul, for allowing us inside … to witness.
I love all of the music that I have heard you do!! Your gift of music travels everywhere all of the time at once. To hear you record hymns, spirituals and gospel music, I believe, would be mind-blowing, soul stirring and spirit lifting for the world to receive. When I hear your voice in song, I hear your heart, breath and being. May God continue to stretch and use you. Sit down in the Lord, as he stands up in you. I have never heard & seen you perform live. I don't know that I ever will. I am grateful for your life; thankful that you are. Praying that joy, love and peace are forever covering & keeping you, your children, husband and family. Don't stop. Keep movie g & doing your thing, pleeze!!!
Alicia thanks for letting us in your most vulnerable parts of your life. It helps me to understand a little more about the magic you create on the keys and songwriting. You’re my kind of people S.Sis.
I'm gonna keep this one short cuz u know I can write a book. This particular one touched me. You asked ur dad any regrets just the look in ur eyes I could see sadness, tears maybe wanting to come but what he said(my opinion) was what you wanted him to say. Keys do open doors but have to be careful which door to choose, sounds like u chose the right ones. So happy you found out ppl don't make you. All I can say is your so relatable--especially ur mom being your mom & dad! TY for ur honesty and inner thoughts. Totally awesome person you are. TY for the music u make and TY for being you🎹🎵💯
@@carbar3936 She stated in an earlier interview on another program, he connected with her AFTER she became famous..so when I saw this doc with him in it...that was all I could think about watching him as he spoke with her. I know she said they are working through the pain, but I know that part still probably hurts her the most. She probably feels like if she were not famous and wealthy, would he even be around now?
@@SouthPawGirlie I have no doubt she questions dad's motives after the fame and fortune. It's real suspect & the only way to squash the doubt is to give minimal to nothing at all & then see how long he sticks around is my best guess. Dead beat dads are a hot mess!
She's turned Pain into Purpose, that's a true Queen❤
Watching Alicia with her dad makes me happy. I'm 37 now and I'm parentless. I lost my mom when I was six and I just lost my dad. So watching Alicia making peace with her dad makes me happy. She is one good daughter.

I would love to see Alicia play Lena Horne in a bio pic movie. It's like Lena Horne reincarnated. Her dad has such beautiful skin, he doesn't look older at all. It's like she's helping him heal. She learned to make peace throughout her life.
Yeah I've noticed too, his skin is amazing! He looks very young.
Truly.
Lena Horne rising.

I would love for her to play Lena Horne too.
I can relate to that single mother raising me and my siblings and one thing I learned in my 50 years on this earth is no matter what you have achieved in your life it still hurts when you think back on why your dad left the family and all the hardships you watched your mother went through to protect her kids and hustle to feed them,I can tell you it made me fearful of being a father I had this crazy feeling that I would follow in my father's footsteps and there was no way in hell I was going to repeat that cycle, fast forward to present and I have 5 kids of my own and I will never abandon them plus I am about to be a grandfather can't wait for the day when that baby is born
Congratulations sir,God bless you
My dad and I are trying to build a relationship as well. Alicia made me realize it is normal to still feel pain behind my father's absence even though we are in a good place.
My dad just reached out to me in my 30s. Phone convos only because he's essentially a stranger and I am so guarded from the hurt of his absence. I tried so hard but have come to the conclusion he isn't mature enough emotionally for the relationship he wants with me. It's heartbreaking. Alicia's dad seems like he's doing the work and I'm happy for her.
Wishing you well 🙌🏾
A friend of mine has a father who lives right next door to him. They are separated by a fence yet they never had a relationship at all. He's just another OG from the block. My friend cries every now and then when he's drunk. It's unbelievable
This touched me so deeply! I’m laying here in tears. Life has a way of taking our power away but I love how she has taken her power back and now lives it and it shows. Her and her Dad connecting later in life is a true blessing. I love her soul. It’s absolutely BEAUTIFUL 😍
I LOVE her spirit! I listen and watch a woman that looks like me and has had similar experiences. If you paid attention the woman overall said, she has an old soul. We've been here before and are manifested into a new body with the experiences we've had from the past. I always loved her and understand I, ME 'admire' nobody. Alicia YOU ARE AN OUTSTANDING MANIFESTATION of manifesting!!
*Thank you for making this Alicia.*
I’ve always been a fan of your music because of the human connection. This takes that to the next level.
Very brave and authentic.
This is a perfect example of being true to yourselves, mental strength over falling for a defeated attitude, perseverance always through life disappointments. People let's follow this great example in our own lives. Thanks you Alicia for sharing this with us, love you and your family🤗🤗🌎💒
Oh my goodness Alicia Keys, you have been one of the few artists that I have followed since I was a little girl living in Germany. It is because you are an amazingly whole woman that I, and others can relate to in many ways. Thank you for sharing another part of yourself with us, this is much cherished. Continue to shine at full Wattage, I really try to follow that in my life. 💖
Yes same here
Am I the only one crying here?
This session/part 2 is DEEP--> it’s most certainly triggered a plethora of weighted memories that’ve kept me drowning in silence for so damn long~
“I chose Keys, because I play the keys, obviously…but keys open doors, & I wanted to open EVERY door…”
💥💪🏼
Yes Lord!!!
I felt it when you said "I met him and made him my friend" or something around that... in reference to your father. I had the same dad experience, I hope I will see it from this angle and pull away from that "daddy absent drama" and see him as a friend now. Oh I cannot wait for a song you would do about Daddys and Daughters- the missing piece! "Raise a man" was one hell of a song! You inspire me Alicia Keys. Love from a Nigerian girl to you.
Same here
Same here
This hits home to my core. I am building my relationship with my father and its getting better every day. Love whole hearted and being open with one another is important. Listen to both, yourself and others who you surround yourself with 💕
It made me cry tears of ( JOY ) to see and understand the connection between your father and yourself and also ( SMILE ) at how your ( PARENTS ) formed your name ❣️
Butterflies is one of my favorite songs and her explanation of you being an old soul was exactly how I felt when I heard it and held it in total rotation. My mother always said Alicia was older beyond her years at like, 16 years old when I was listening to her
I love Alicia keys! The most down to earth mega artist of our generation
This series is so beautiful, vulnerable and transparent. I am so grateful 💗
I love your pureness 🤍✨ you’re so authentic and powerful . I love your process. You inspire me
This was so powerful. You always imagine how the rich and famous are so different from us. That they live a glamorous, happy and fulfilling life. But they live a life very much like every day average people. Only they’re life is played out for millions and millions of people to watch, while we do the same but only in our small circle of family and friends. I respect Alicia so much for this segment, because I am living the same journey with my father and how my mother raised me alone. And I’m quite sure that many people have experienced the same thing. Thanks 🙏🏾 for sharing this.
I adore Alicia keys, been listening to her since I was in elementary school. To this day she's so inspirational, she's famous and stopped wearing make up, still beautiful too! Appreciate her honesty in the music industry as well
You can see the pain in her face. She is a very forgiving person.
Her house is incredible. When I seen the pics when they first bought it I thought there was no way it could be turned into a family “home” but they did!! It’s Jaw dropping 🤩
The house was shown on million dollar listing episode, it look like a museum. But it’s beautiful, she made it her own. Looks like a home.
This was so real, raw and beautiful. It made me turn inward and acknowledge my mistakes and faults throughout life. Thank you for such a loving and insightful look inside your life. ❤
This whole episode has a huge hold on my heart. Ali, I’m so glad you were able to connect and build something with your father. 💜
Love this woman ❤️🇬🇧 my new mantra “I shine at full wattage” wow 😳
Everything about this, from beginning to end was so beautiful, refreshing, and spiritual.
Such a beautiful soul. Love that she’s sharing her story 💜
This is absolutely beautiful! You ALL are ENOUGH! We may always have to deal with a limp in life and that's OK, as long as we don't allow it to paralyze us. Dream BIG, create your own rules and walk to the beat of your own drums. Never follow the masses, follow your heart but always allow God to lead you! You are enough friends!!
Absolutely 👏👏👏
@@deborahdaniel5928 ❤
I feel so connected to you Alicia, we have similar experiences and similar fears. The Blessing that we are both Meditators and a way of fueling our realities as to what we want is a Gift. I share in some of your energies. I can share those as well . May we always be kindred spirits. Thank you for sharing Alicia !!!
Absolutely beautiful ! So glad they connected, it’s so important for both of them. ❤️
This Women is such a pure Soul! A Gift to the World! Thank you, for sharing all your Heart & Soul’! God Bless you! This Women is on FIRE!!! 🌹❤️🙏
I’m so glad you and your father had this conversation and continue to do so.. it’s a process. 💜
Thank you for your vulnerability and for sharing this extremely personal journey with us. 🙏🏿
I’m glad i hugged my dad before he passed & got everything I wanted to say to him
“Keys open doors” , so honest and raw here. The strength you have to reach out and reconnect with your dad comes from a holy place and a pure heart. 💜 Alicia’s light shines so bright.

Having grown up listening to your music and having interpreted it in my own way, it's crazy when I finally get to hear you tell the story behind your songs and just your life. No longer putting you on a pedestal that you never asked to be placed on but seeing you as an equal, a human being. That's beautiful. Thank you for sharing yourself with us 😊.
Alicia you good…because I didn’t bother after 18! My Dad missed out on everything with me! He’s gone now. I guess the boys take it harder because we watch our mothers struggle and juggle raising us. I forgive him….you’re a class act for this.🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
“He was willing to be invisible for me” not “I don’t think he was jealous of me”. 👑🙏🏾🕊⚓️🐉🔥
That’s a very grown woman mature statement right there.
Greater insight into the hearts of men.👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 love u, Alicia Keys!
I am so sorry I was so busy trying to absorb so many aspects of this doc..that missed me. Who was she referring to? Her Father?
I really LOVE the cinematography and editing in these videos!!! I also appreciate the richness of the conversations. Who produced this? They did an awesome job.
This new album is going to be bluesy and jazzy and I’m looking forward to it! I love the vulnerability and truth in these videos ✨.
Is she releasing a new one?
When her dad says his regrets 😭😭😭 Alicia that is gold. Some children will never hear that 💜💜
I’m still waiting to hear that but my dad says it was my moms fault. I just broke down crying when her dad said that
@@kimberlygarrett5643 sending hugs ❤️❤️ the older I get the more I realize my parents did the best they were capable of. we may not always get the apology we are owed. But we can still choose to walk in forgiveness and victory 🙌🏼
My pastor says I should go in with forgiveness but it’s hard
So true
My dad told me the same thing.
I'm happy for her. I understand her pain and emptiness while growing up. Even though she did well without him, money and success didn't fill that void. I'm happy she's filling it now.
I feel like this is the first time she’s really been THIS open about her personal life. I’m grateful to her for this level of vulnerability because so much healing happens when we witness other people’s healing 🥺
P awe
I meant to say that good
@@baine3174 ddd FAA's s
Im so happy to know Alicia reunited with her father. Her life is now complete.
Forgiveness is a powerful and courageous gift that we bless ourselves with. I pray that those pieces in your heart and your father’s heart is made whole. Your art is a healing for many of us.🙏🏽
I'm happy that she reconnected with her father in this sincere way. Creating that new bridge brings so much healing. I wish them all the best on their healing and growth.
Sorry about your dad that he wasn’t there at the earlier stages of your life. It takes two to make love and then have a baby and it should be 2 raising the child. I can definitely relate because my mom wasn’t there a lot in my life also. Thank u for sharing your story love it was nice to hear u open up Alicia Keys I appreciate u ! ❤️
It is harder when your mother is missing
@@DarkAngel-cj6sx yes
Her dad didn’t connect because it was a one night stand type thing. No excuses for treating a child like that. He could have got some therapy to accept her.
@@monicdavis6150 A One Nite stand Not with the FEMININE ,SUBMISSIVE WOMEN above Eveyone else!.... I'm shocked ! Whose to Blame?
good evening mrs . Trina . if you want a happy life ( wife, money , clothes. phones , force intelligence ... etc) please read ( holy book quran) . don't ignore my message kindly . it will make your life better
Beautiful story it is. I reconnected with my Dad after 30 years apart just last year. Raised by a single Mom...she passed away but before her death she said make peace with your Dad. Not an easy road ..but forgiveness is everything! Peace is everything!, Thanks for Sharing Alicia!!!
Until now, it was always "speculated" that Krucial Keys was a couple... I love how she has honoured her relationship with him in this piece, even if things didn't work out, when it was good, it was good 🎵🎵👌🏾👌🏾❤❤
Naw she talked about him in her book
It was speculated but the real fans always knew like me .....you could just tell
@@HarmonySkinCareEssentials True. I'd always knew that was her man during the Songs in A minor and Diary of Alicia Keys era.
It was always obvious. He was her shadow and the body language.
Naw I knew they were together since before she popped off so it wasn't secret. Plus she has talked about it
Alicia is so in touch with her feelings and amazingly, intellectually stimulating. If I were a much younger man she would be completely out of my league. This is grown folks “stuff.”
This made me tear up but I’m so glad you reunited with your dad!! Thank you for your transparency A Keys🎹
I love your videos! The one with Swizz makes me believe love like that does exist and we’re all deserving. This one really hit home, specifically the talk with your dad, it had me in tears. I tried to have the same conversation with my father and his response was I was destined for this life, I was destined to have parents that were addicts. I told him that we can’t change the past, accountability could have kept us moving forward. Thank you for your videos and letting us in ♥️
This is simply beautiful! I love how honest her father was and how comfortable they were having such open conversation ❣
I love how relatable you are Alicia. You say so many things that I have said verbatim in my diary; especially when it comes to life and dealing with people. You have to stay vigilant; like seriously! A sad truth or you will get played at every turn, and I haven't even done a fraction of the things you have. Your voice sounds more beautiful every year and I truly think it is because you are finding and accepting yourself and realizing your power to make things happen and believing in your connection to music and your ability to forgive and to move on. I got the feels when you mentioned "over everything" I totally get it. Overperforming, overdoing, overaccepting, overhelping, over going out of my way, over EVERYTHING! I've done it. And it eventually means nothing to the people who seem to be thankful for it. I don't do that anymore. Moving on is something that can chain people for many years and never even know it! "Keys, because keys open doors" I often wondered how you got the name. I always said it had to be much more meaningful than just she plays the piano extraordinarily well. Now I know :) Thank you :D
Alicia's house is minimalistic yet so beautiful ❤️😍...
It's an Amazing background. God rewarded your mother with your talent. May Alicia Augello Cook's be more and more blessed. She raised an exceptional WOMAN
There are many women who have raised Great WOMEN Greatly
I am a massive fan :) love your energy and music. Blessings to you and your life
My wife that I never married. I love her with my whole heart. Swizz is really blessed to have this awesome woman give her whole self to him wholeheartedly.
This is a gorgeous documentary and everyone is so beautiful in soul and spirit. 💚
Forgiveness is the key to moving forward…Must forgive for YOU 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I'm sooo emotional Alicia! My dad was dying of stage 4 cancer in 2011 and I wanted to do a documentary like this with my dad and someone discouraged me from the idea. I regret not being strong enough to do it anyway. I hate that I don't have that memory on video.
Never let anyone discourage you of anything
@@LuvKitKatt yes! Learning these life saving lessons now. 😌
Who is that someone?
Just exclaiming!
good evening my friend . if you want a happy life ( wife, money , clothes. phones , force intelligence ... etc) please read ( holy book quran) . don't ignore my message kindly . it will make your life better
I swear, her voice is one of a kind, one that leads you softly down the hardest paths...
Best father daughter talk. So beautiful 😍
My prayer for A Keys is that she continues in her authenticity; accepting and embracing the Divine path that has been destined for her. My soul is enriched witnessing, in this clip, her relationship with her dad being repaired in spite of the past. So many are bound by the negatives of their past and cannot get beyond it. I also appreciate her candor about Crucial. It was heartwarming! I pray that he knows that she respects and honors his contribution to her career and that he harbors no resentment toward her.
I’ve always admired A Keys as an upstanding artist. And I don’t champion many artist. But Alicia has always had a certain confidence, modesty, spirituality and self-respect that, in my opinion, is applaudable. Oh yea…and congrats on becoming “independent!”
Is it me, or does anyone felt how Alicakey's voice made me calm until the end of the video 😄She is an amazing human being ❤️🙏💪
She is truly. Amazing ❤
I'm in literal tears on my way home from Upstate... because I am going through this current stage where I risk it all and do unhealthy things to push the barrier because of the what ifs... and I am out here going from event to event putting in my all
Hearing from your parents was key. Enjoy them cuz our life here on earth is short.
Sure has such a beautiful soul. Can't help but love her.
You encourage me to have a better relationship with my father…❤️ I never knew how but now I have to develop vulnerability. I have to open up. I don’t know why I’m so ashamed of it. But I know now if I want a better relationship with him, that’s the first step. Put my pride aside.
The hurt is natural...
When "brand new me" started playing I was like 😫🔥 the lyrics of that song always get me 💜💜
Crying as I say I shine at full wattage.
Because I’m not and don’t know how. Peace and love to us all.
What a beautiful, intense, and hopeful piece. Can’t wait to hear her new songs. It felt great to hear people chatting out such tender topics. Thank you, dear giving and loving soul, for allowing us inside … to witness.
Stillness and peace it's so amazing and it's nothing better...❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Alicia keys and always a fan..
SILENCE AND STILLNESS ARE ENDOWED WITH UNSEEN VIRTUES
I love all of the music that I have heard you do!! Your gift of music travels everywhere all of the time at once.
To hear you record hymns, spirituals and gospel music, I believe, would be mind-blowing, soul stirring and spirit lifting for the world to receive. When I hear your voice in song, I hear your heart, breath and being.
May God continue to stretch and use you. Sit down in the Lord, as he stands up in you.
I have never heard & seen you perform live. I don't know that I ever will.
I am grateful for your life; thankful that you are. Praying that joy, love and peace are forever covering & keeping you, your children, husband and family. Don't stop. Keep movie g & doing your thing, pleeze!!!
I just love this lady., continue proving us with excellent music. Your story is so inspirational... God blessings
Alicia thanks for letting us in your most vulnerable parts of your life. It helps me to understand a little more about the magic you create on the keys and songwriting. You’re my kind of people S.Sis.
I'm gonna keep this one short cuz u know I can write a book. This particular one touched me. You asked ur dad any regrets just the look in ur eyes I could see sadness, tears maybe wanting to come but what he said(my opinion) was what you wanted him to say. Keys do open doors but have to be careful which door to choose, sounds like u chose the right ones. So happy you found out ppl don't make you. All I can say is your so relatable--especially ur mom being your mom & dad! TY for ur honesty and inner thoughts. Totally awesome person you are. TY for the music u make and TY for being you🎹🎵💯
Caught her eyes w/ that question also, and wondered did they reconnect before or after the fame. So true not all open doors are good to walk through.
@@carbar3936 She stated in an earlier interview on another program, he connected with her AFTER she became famous..so when I saw this doc with him in it...that was all I could think about watching him as he spoke with her. I know she said they are working through the pain, but I know that part still probably hurts her the most. She probably feels like if she were not famous and wealthy, would he even be around now?
@@SouthPawGirlie I have no doubt she questions dad's motives after the fame and fortune. It's real suspect & the only way to squash the doubt is to give minimal to nothing at all & then see how long he sticks around is my best guess. Dead beat dads are a hot mess!
I love how she is with her father..how they have built a real connect..it made me misty for its own reasons. And she is truly a master of her selF.
