I suspected he may have left but rumor has it he got so emotional. So out of respect, they kept the cameras away from him. It must have come as a total surprise.
What Jay did for the rap game will NEVER be forgotten. This tribute only shows his body of work. He's truly the G.O.A.T Thanks Alicia. You are AMAZING.....
@@kataworrkataworr4107 if you are watching off your phone, ipad/tablet just take the vid to the end and let it end and then just take it back, ads will go !
You definitely stop seeing the ads in your UA-cam videos, by stop being cheap, and simply pay for UA-cam Red. It’s only 9.99 on Android, and 12.99 on IPhone. I have it, and I’m loving it. No one tries to sell me anything. Fuck!!!! Ads.
When Alicia Keys steps onto a stage and does this it validates why she is one of the top artists of the last 25 years, and when she steps off the stage she is one of my favorite "human beings" on this earth. Alicia, you are truly the total package as a person and entertainer. Keep being YOU.
Beyonce outfit is fire. Alicia hair is goals. People in these messages stop comparing the two. They are both black Queens. Stop putting them against each other lift them up. I wish that video they did together came out, would have been great to see.
whoooooooaaawwwww stop now stop realy stop its one thing to want your favorite to win its another to try to make it happen with that comment they both are singers and performers alicia rocks shows with her performances vibing to the music or performing on the piano you short changing your obvious favorite alicia with that comment and dont even know it and beyonce is way more than a performer her voice vocal control and pitch is second to none you have to bring up past legends to rival halo listen and dangerously in love and im not talking about the studio versions im talking about when she sings them live i have my favorite but thats for me and would never compare the to or pit them against each other i feel its unfair anyway love you alicia even tho you dont know my name{bars} and i swear it feels like.......
Alicia Keys is so UNDERRATED. This woman's aura just screams TALENT. BEAUTY, CONFIDENCE, LOVE, AND HIGH SPIRITS‼ She definitely changed the game for real, and there's no one else that can EVER do it like AK. She's in her own lane🔥🔥🔥♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Just watched the Tupac tribute. Now watching this one for Jay. Can she do a tribute for all the legendary hip hop artists?!?! I want to see Nas next, then Lauryn Hill...
tssuuiipp..Nas who..with how many tracks..please let go.JIGGA is all time greatest..This was grammy tribute..So Nas who..Nas has how many grammies..Nas who
@Uchawi Beatz couldn't agree more. This is such a pleasant surprise - just watched this 4 times on repeat after popping up on the feed. We can't even begin to understand Alicia's talent, it's unreal.
So literally no one has a angle with Jay's reaction 😩 I heard he cried or at least got a little emotional and now I'll never know . Beautiful job Alicia . I'm hoping one day his oldest daughter or all his kids will honor him in a similar way . It would be so cute
Alicia is so talented. She just put her own flavor to these classic tracks. Her piano skill is unparallel. I was a fan of her music but now my fandom went up about 9,999,999x!!!!!
Alicia Keys is such a meticulous performer! This was a very authentic tribute. So simple and organic and you can see she had fun with this. I’m sure Jay appreciated this gift. She’s a living legend herself.
Wow I seen the title and I said how was she going to pull this off but Mrs.Alicia u slayed that tribute.U not only reawaken the greatest that is Jay Z but showed us your endless greatness as well so thank you.
I know, I'm repeating myself when I say: Can't take my eyes off of Alicia. To me the most beautiful woman on the planet. So natural, so pure. With the voice of an angel and the talent of a maestro.
Her voice is EVEN BETTER than 15 years ago. I remember the day she first became mainstream. I fell in love with her strength and humility. She is very pro feminine.
she is like goddess there, everytime she gets better in singing. Her live always awesome. How I wish I was there, dang, jay z must be happy, this tribute is the best for him

Piano is such a beautiful instrument
Yes it is that's why i'm trying to teach myself how to play. I hope i haven't gotten to old to learn. lol
Her voice makes it sound better.
I agree, I always wanted to learn how to play.
The piano is sooooooo underrated though but it is indeed a beautiful instrument.
@@Dirge861 lie.
Man alicia keys putting her on spin on hov songs was something i never really knew i needed in life but i obviously did
Ronald Oneal ua-cam.com/video/JTYaXUxN4vY/v-deo.html
They should make an album of Alicia interpreting Jay’s songs on the piano.
And it gives it an extra New York vibe that screams jigga
🤟🏿🙌🏿
Why didn’t the camera man show more of Jay’s reaction?? That’s part of the fun to see the reaction of the person being honored.
Nikki Nicole I agree
They said he started tearing up while she was performing
I said the same thing
I suspected he may have left but rumor has it he got so emotional. So out of respect, they kept the cameras away from him. It must have come as a total surprise.
The cameraman was fired
I am so glad she stopped wearing makeup. It’s like she’s started looking younger and younger ever since she stopped.... so beautiful naturally.
She got make up
@@ILoveQueenB1 she don't wear make up no more..been a hot minute actually
yeah, you all are ugly with and without make up for real. learn from her
out of the whole performance that's the only thing u can say ... fucking makeup .. get a life
Both yous are beautiful. One.
Time is her friend. She's getting younger and sexier each day she sings.
Rick ross
Juste Maple him too
maybe the kundalini yoga really does wonders? :)
Swiss Beats is a lucky man lol
She's happy
If this tribute right here don’t make you fall in love with Alicia Keyes then sorry, I can’t help you in life lol 🤷🏽♂️. ❤️
Rico Quintero been fell in love with her when she first came out 🥰♥️
Say that again
Rico Quintero Im tearing already
I feel in love with her a long time ago.
Rico Quintero u kinda um spell alicia keys wrong
Alicia keys is still to this day the most consistent artist of Today. She's original. Creative. And she don't steal from other's.
yummy Rosebud true that
Lies.
True ✅
yummy Rosebud And she not big as Beyoncé. A great artist steals and barrows
Except for husbands 😂
That's why east coast 90s rap is so classical..... The instrumental composition and arrangement will stand the test of time

Alicia Keys is the full package!
Keys made hov's street fire raps into perfect R&B tracks
I could listen to the piano solo at the first song she did for an hour straight.
The way Alicia sings Empire State of mind always made me feel like I was from NY.
I am and I love it!!!!
She made waving a L in the sky sound so elegant.
For real tho lol
Youngster.....Jay's L is La....aka...weed....aka blunt.....90's NY Lingo.....Your welcome 😉😉😉👍👍
@@blazingfiyaTekLife . .
How tf did this get by us? Bro I didn’t even know there was a Jay-Z tribute. #pissedtfoff
Godwins Always yeah in 2018 when he got all those Grammy nominations for the album 4:44
She did a Tupac tribute too... ain’t that some shit
Word!!! Where tha fuk was I and why wasnt this broadcasted...
Godwins Always Swear I’m screaming the same damn thing. 🤦♀️🤦♀️
For real
Alicia is provacative, sultry, skill ,and class. Go on with it mamma!
And it comes so naturally. She has literally not changed except stopped wearing makeup.
That “Encore” Medley 🔥 & Swizz in the background cheering his wife on is priceless 👌🏾
i didnt know that was him
18 minutes and 26 second of elevation, motivation, and dedication that inspired me to continue to love and be a better person in this world.
Ironically, it's a tribute to Jay-Z! I'm baffled!

Alicia keys is beyond phenomenal. She's like walking perfection. Having a wife like this would be out of this world. Eternally in awe.
On point. 💙
bruh......she gay.....so what you sayin'??
When she did empire state of mind I got goosebumps
Beautiful without make up👌
She is on make-up but she is very pretty with an angelic voice
She can make you go to work late and come home early.
@@midenist.m8655 LOL
No woman of color needs make up, GOD made them perfect.
That 'Uuuh uuuh' is very important when you channelling some Jay-Z 😍
She killed it!!

I totally agree with you on this ❤
Alicia Keys is such a talent! I wish I could play the piano like that!
Cant comprehend how she sometimes not even looking at the piano while playing something complex and singing at the same time
I got chillllllllllls from this piano KEYS all de way from Mzanzi South Africa wow !!!!!!!!!!!
The way she smiled when she said for me and for us.
This has to be the best recommended video on youtube of all time

Me either
It was at the foundation dinner he had in holiday fl

This is honestly a tribute I never knew I needed
Those reasonable Doubt joints was so fire
Such a beautiful melody when she's speaking.
Lonnie Liston Smith. Is the originator of that melody.
The Overrider right!! She does that so damn well!
Definitely killed the melody on the piano!!
I don’t know who disliked this video, but all I can say is that they don’t understand anything!
Marco Bellarosa 😊 I agree
A whole hater 😩 like how could you
It was Rita Ora the talentless hater
When a legend gives tribute to another legend.
Alicia Keys, most consistent artist of our generation. GOOD SHIT EVERYTIME WOW
Kirstie Sebastian yes
Shes one of ... not The
wut
I agree with you. Since her debut album Songs in A Minor she's been delivering
This audience is disappointing
Too many rich people in the audience
They are stosh it should have Trini in there
it's prob cuz they're mindblowned, they're just soaking it in, it was an extraordinary performance
They are appreachiating her
Alicia Keys is everything
Alicia and Beyonce are both black and gorgeous women
they inspire me
She's soooo talented and so darn charismatic. Her voice.. wow. She handles the piano like a natural. What a tour de force.

Everyone in the room probably thinking that Alicia should have featured in all the original songs as well.
Nah, soon as she started playing “ feeling it “ I LOST IT ... this lady knows her piano game is unstoppable omg ❤️
yo alicia a true new yorker,she had the timbs and errthing
yu heard

Yass Ms Keys always been a beast on the piano
J A true
Can I have your name on messenger so that I can chat with you princess?
That girl just fine period
MISS NIKKI hahaha shitttt
This was hot 🔥 Alicia did her thing with this. When she did "Encore"... it was with soo much soul. Such a beautiful voice.
Listening to Alicia...is like a breath of fresh air. Thank you, for everything you do.
Man imagine a full album like this but with Jay on vocals , would be so chilled .
Beyonce looks stunning and Alicia's tribute is just so electric.
She killed it there and killed it at Tupac's tribute. Damn bro I want to her her sing more and more classic songs!
Now these are two artists that could’ve done an intimate joint tour together on some unplugged shit and include jaguar...that would be everything
GoddessEnergy 11:11 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
"There was this moment when we were talking and he was like: *is this record too New York?*
And we both was like: *ye* "
She should do all the tributes ever because her voice is wonderful!
How can anyone watch this and not rate Alicia Keys?
Oh my oh wow this is the most beautiful 18 minutes of my life
That was everything!!! Two of my favorite artists of all time. I would've paid big money to see this live.
She is a pianist before a singer
Eston Zera yes
truth
Eston Zera Love her piano skills much better than her voice. But this is still 🔥
You ever heard her live.. she is perfect. Like actually live, sat in the same room and heard her. Flawless vocals.
LA Reid passed on her coz she didn’t play piano at her audition. Oooops
Her voice touches me on so many levels. She seems like an amazing human... Good Just b and please keep doing you!!!!

I was sayin the same thing how did I miss this. AK is absolutely amazing inside n out. Playing that piano puts her 10 steps ahead of everyone!
This shit was epic bro...I know Jay was like, "DAMN this is 🔥" you did your thing sister
Definitely underrated. Before it's all over - she'll top just about everyone in her generation.
That was so dope. What a room to be in
