The amount of smart and consummate musicianship that is going on in this video is so, so underrated. This is what it is like to watch pop musicians work at the top of their game. There is talent oozing off even the nooks and crannies of that stage.
While i don't disagree that they are, in fact, Pop musicians, this is R&B baby! Rhythm and freaking Blues, and they absolutely smashed it! Pop would be more "produced", more danceable, and more of a product ( which isn't a bad thing ), but there's a distinction to be made and i think it's very important to not confuse the two. Great comment btw!😁
I think I will never get tired of listening to this masterpiece. Alicia Keys is so dope. I can't stop watching this track again and again. I am sure she will be #1 soon due to 💖a u t h e n t I c v i e w s 💖
These are poeple who are truly passionate into music. Who isn't just making music for fame and money. But who showers us light and love, gives us inspiration to keep going in life. I love both of them💕
Alicia and John are among a few artists in the early 2000s era that have elevated themselves to all-time greats with all time-classic songs. I can easily imagine people still vibing to If I Aint Got You and Gravity some 30-40 years from now, in the same way that we are still vibing to timeless 70s and 80s songs from time to time.
Their energy is beautiful. Like two old high school friends coming together after a while and singing a song together. The smiles on their faces are priceless
if you listen to her talking parts on the USA voice, you will realise you are correct, she is everything you'd imagine, such a nice woman, she sings to a contestant too, the 'lily' song, check it.
No she has the talent she is the female Elvis of this past Generation along with Adele. I respect her more cuz she was so Hot and she stopped wearing makeup like 8-10 years ago like in this Video. She has none on and at first I was like Damn. But after I saw her her Soul and Voice she went to prove to Young Girl's out there you do t git to be a Whore bag Slut like No talent Katie Perry who can't Sing live. And that Man Beast Beyonce who even lip sync The National Anthem, LOL like WTF does that but that fake bitch. There all Studio fake Bitches. Just like 2PAC said about the Studio Gangsta. She's even more beautiful with No make-up and what a voice and you can tell she loves and believes in God which she has Said. Which is why her Career has not exploded any Bigger. Cuz she would t sell her Soul. A lot of you don't know the sick Shit and rules and things you got to do and pay to be a Huge Star.

Alicia is so beautiful. She was born to bring and sing us this song. Every time she does, it is a sermon and a reminder of what really matters. This is my favorite performance of this song. Thank you for sharing your talent with us all. It's made the world a better place to live in.
@@fruitdemer201 Yeah.. she has both. Why are you trying to dictate what someone else can talk about? It's okay to stop and admire how naturally beautiful she is as well.
Andra Piers how is he lying? I watch this and get the same exact feeling. She is the most beautiful person on the planet. Her looks, voice, charisma and charm aren’t mutually exclusive. She’s just beautiful inside and out in every way possible. Try not to be triggered so much. You can’t even let a compliment go. Life’s too short baby. 💯love
I love how they're just a couple of friends jamming but they're legends and it's Times Square....not an ardent follower of either John Mayer or Alicia Keys I do love a couple of their songs individually but I keep coming back to this particular live performance time and time again coz they just up there vibing ❤
Maria Pia I think it’s an uncontrollable laugh when you realise how good something is. How often does she hear other people perform on her song, to hear John Mayer sing it his way and make it sound good too must be amazing.
Omg! I was so deep inside of this performance that I hated when it ended - and Alicia’s beauty was emphasized by her totally natural inner beauty that no one on this planet could compare to - I will treasure this forever and probably beyond! Their voices complimented each other completely and his guitar solo was mesmerizing- This was MAGICAL! Thank you, Alicia and John
I'm an old man. Doing a lot of thinking about how fast life passes by and how temporary our lives are. Every now and then the right people come together at the right time and create a few moments that are so perfect. I am so lucky to be alive during the time of UA-cam. Any time that I'm feeling down, I can click on a special video like this and be instantly transported to a few perfect moments, where all my cares and worries just float away.
It’s the way Alicia smiled wholehearted, bare faced, no makeup, and John lost himself in music that makes this performance so intimate, so human. I feel like watching just people, like you and me, making beautiful music on a stage in New York.
Her smile is other-worldly for sure. It does make this performance very intimate. Such a gorgeous woman, I suspect both inside and out. Although I doubt she's not wearing any makeup. It's just very tastefully restrained, which is a breath of fresh air in this day of so many looks that are way over the top.
Hi! I’ve written a song called Real Life Dance. It’s about having a dream and it being like a romance in your head but then turning into something real like a dance. ua-cam.com/video/DV7nUQj-9gg/v-deo.html
This last week has been extremely difficult with radiation treatments for cancer. No energy can barely move. Now I feel life in me because of these amazing performances by Alicia Keys and John Mayer. Thank you so much.
the intimacy of her performance is striking. She's in the middle of Times Square surrounding by thousands of people, but the way she gently croons into the microphone across those first few bars makes you feel like she's singing just to you. It's gentle and delicate, before striking a high note just as a warning shot of how powerful her voice really is
John plays just a few notes on his guitar to start his solo and the crowd already starts cheering. That man makes a guitar tell a fucking story, my god
Probably one of the very few guitar heroes in post-2000s era And probably the most all-round one... Aside from guitar skills and musicality, he sings well and is very good looking But he is reaching his mid-40s...
What a true beauty Alicia is.... not just in looks (although those are certainly there) but in spirit, personality, heart, warmth, integrity, kindness, intellect, intelligence, creativity, talent, and on and on, ad infinitum...♥️
three absolute legends in their own respective genres coming together and just being immersed in the music and the vibe is so beautiful to see. it’s wonderful watching people who are so passionate do what they do and be fully in it
@@garlowloke we're talking about a drummer who himself is one of the top drummer in the world, and he didnt over do it here and to quote some "he kept it inside the pocket",
This is my Roman Empire… I swear I come back to watch this again at least once a month, without ever planning on it. These two and the incredible musicians on stage with them are doing everything right. …I just wish there wasn’t always an ad that plays every time they transition into Gravity!

This song really made me appreciate the impact a good drummer has on a song. The beat doesn't sound that complicated, but I wouldn't want it to be any more than it is. The timing and every stroke is impeccable. Doesn't overpower the song, it's perfect.
Drummers ALWAYS are the musical leaders. Anyone who has been part of a band knows that the drummer is the one who have the timming and order for the rest. Thats why drummers always give that one, two, three with the sticks before the jam starts I played the guitar and my best jams have come from joining my man Richard vibin in the drumms
@Kilo Mintoni sucking corporate ass gets you money, but theres no question he is talented at playing music though. Seems like you're focusing on the wrong aspects of music when theres 3 people who actually play their instruments on stage performing live. It was free form. not a basic syncopated corporate song and dance performance you normally see.
@@Aswinishere It was bad enough the superbowl was ruined with the trash music the last time and this trash music does not need to be at a superbowl either.
6:20 and on to the end lights the fire in my soul that’s not present in everyday life. Alicia screaming at 7:42 brings me to tears every time, it brings out all of my emotions at once. This is by far the most raw and powerful performance of genius, heart, and soul I’ve ever come across and I have to watch it every couple months to light that fire again.
As a 30 year old man that has UA-cam playing most of the day, at work and home... This is my favorite video of all time. I also never comment on videos. Thousands and thousands of hours of UA-cam, this is the one.
Nobody said 30 is old! It's just a frame of reference, this man has been around since the inception of UA-cam yet comes back to this video. I understand, as a 32 yr old who primarily watches UA-cam
Just unbelievable stunning musical performance … Alicia’s vocal ability at the end with John’s guitar is genius … she is beyond heavenly sounds from her voice and her fingers. Her timing 🙇🙇🙇
@@kezza10mail just because something is unrehearsed, doesn't make it half-assed. Because they are pros means they can go out and just feed off of eachother and make it sound great.
It's talent, it comes from years of daily work and practice. They would most likely play for free because to them its their calling and what they love to do.
True, but you can't deny how shallow the music scene as a whole has become. I don't wanna single anyone out, but we live in a world where Cardi B won a Grammy. There's hundreds of rappers out there with more depth and message behind their lyrics. To me, if someone can't appreciate the magic that happened on this stage between John and Alicia, then you've either never played live music a day in your life, or you don't have an ear for all the subtle nuances in the music before you. The band went seamlessly from her song, to his, back to hers. And the lyrics for the two, sounds like he wrote Gravity in response to her song. It's a full circle mindfuck lol
This is one of the most real performances ever. Just three artists enjoying their talent together. The vibe was beautiful, I’m so glad this was documented so I could experience it too
7:45 is just musical fusion! You got Alicia screaming, John doing epic leads on his guitar, quest just going to town with the drums, while all being tied in by the backup vocals and musicians. JUST GREAT!
This is one of the best live performances I've ever seen, and there is so much to love about it, most of which has already been stated in other comments. One of my favorite parts is at around 3:30, That smile on the young guy's face standing on a stage in NYC between these two musical giants singing to each other is simply priceless! What an experience! Then fast-forward to about 5:48 when Alicia starts singing Gravity...John turns and looks at the other musicians like friends, it's just so great. I think the one striking thing about this performance is the energy, humility, mutual respect, and friendship vibe on the stage. It's truly awesome!
Questlove and The Roots are genius. Also, he walks out gives a peace sign to the crowd...muted response. Come on people have you not heard his drum and bass drumming skills on 'You Got Me' show this guy some love.
I feel So Robbed that I’m just now seeing this!!😫😭😭I Love Alicia keys & I’ve been listening to her since her debut album, but only really got in the John Mayer in the last year or so and I can’t believe I didn’t know they did this performance together it is absolutely magical you could just see how happy John is & in awe of her talent as well as she but he’s just such a true musician you can really see the joy when he sees other peoples talent shine ✨ it’s really great! ❤👏👏❤️
Honestly, this video wouldn't be the same without the side cameras facing Alicia and John. You can tell everybody on that stage has an impenetrable passion for music, I love it.
A beautiful love letter to New Yorkers everywhere from NYC. Beautiful performance by all. Mayer's playing reminds me of his incredible performance at MJ's funeral. Grazie, mil grazie.
That transition into gravity was some of the smoothest shit I’ve ever heard
Smoothest shit doesn't do it justice!!! That baby is da bomb!!!
5:41
Seriously. Even Alicia felt it.
Watch the Norah Jones 'Don't know why' /John Mayer 'your body is a wonderland' it's cute as well
Caleb Locke I am awestruck! Oh also I’ve watched it 9000000 times. This is the musical Mecca.
“take your time, we just up here vibin’” im literally considering for this to be my senior quote

When Mayer plays guitar you can tell that he is consumed entirely by the music. Beautiful.

It's a great feeling when you get that flow
Same as when Alicia Keys and Tori Amos play their pianos...consumed in the music

imagine it’s your first time in NY and you’re walking randomly near Times Square as a stranger and this happens...
i'll be like .. God really? youre so good to me.
i'd die happy. :D
I think id cry of joy and happiness
Yes i agree with you , That would be the Best!!
No lies that's what happened to me, my first time in ny for the new year(i live in Paris)
This is by far one of the best live collabs in the history of music
Totally agree. BB King and Clapton is also on top
John Mayer Trio is the best collaboration , and then John with Keith Urban
Frank Sinatra and Celine Dion, personally the best for me.
This was really beautiful
the freddie mercury tribute as well
Their energy is beautiful. Like two old high school friends coming together after a while and singing a song together. The smiles on their faces are priceless
I have listened to this video over 100 times and it takes me to a place of real joy every time. Thank you so much for this Alicia and John...
Same here vro.. Any other videos that give you that feeling?
So great together
Estou aqui no Brasil sendo uma fã incondicional desse vídeo maravilhoso. Escuto a anos e nunca vou parar de escutar. Eles são incríveis juntos.

Amazing duo.
5:42 that moment when Alicia takes your hit song and sends it straight to heaven over your head. 😂❤❤❤❤❤ John was loving it too
The best version of these two songs ever, they both absolutely killed it. 🔥🔥🔥
This song really made me appreciate the impact a good drummer has on a song. The beat doesn't sound that complicated, but I wouldn't want it to be any more than it is. The timing and every stroke is impeccable. Doesn't overpower the song, it's perfect.
That's true!!! Great point
Without them drums this doesn't hit like it do!
It's called "in the pocket". It's always fun to listen and play along such individuals.
That Questlove on the drums, he is an absolute beats.
Drummers ALWAYS are the musical leaders. Anyone who has been part of a band knows that the drummer is the one who have the timming and order for the rest. Thats why drummers always give that one, two, three with the sticks before the jam starts I played the guitar and my best jams have come from joining my man Richard vibin in the drumms
The sight of Alicia Keys bitting her lip while smiling, surrounded by her beautiful curly hair, must be my 2019 highlight. And it's only January...
I watch this over and over...a beautiful performance....I have been to NY...and would have been so excited to happen upon this!!!!
This is my favorite way to listen to both songs!! It's like they were meant to be played together!! ❤ I love it!!
They're playing their asses off. This is music.
I agree
Music baby. Fucking music
Why can't this be the superbowl halftime show?
@Kilo Mintoni sucking corporate ass gets you money, but theres no question he is talented at playing music though. Seems like you're focusing on the wrong aspects of music when theres 3 people who actually play their instruments on stage performing live. It was free form. not a basic syncopated corporate song and dance performance you normally see.
@@Aswinishere It was bad enough the superbowl was ruined with the trash music the last time and this trash music does not need to be at a superbowl either.
I love how natural Alicia is here... She's so comfortable with her skin. :) Not to mention their amazing voices.
Still as beautiful as the first time I listened to them. 😍
6:20 and on to the end lights the fire in my soul that’s not present in everyday life. Alicia screaming at 7:42 brings me to tears every time, it brings out all of my emotions at once. This is by far the most raw and powerful performance of genius, heart, and soul I’ve ever come across and I have to watch it every couple months to light that fire again.
As a 30 year old man that has UA-cam playing most of the day, at work and home... This is my favorite video of all time. I also never comment on videos. Thousands and thousands of hours of UA-cam, this is the one.
don't say "as a 30 year old man" that's not old...don't say it like that, please ;O
Lol you guys funny 😂, you guys young forever 😀👍
Nobody said 30 is old! It's just a frame of reference, this man has been around since the inception of UA-cam yet comes back to this video. I understand, as a 32 yr old who primarily watches UA-cam
Thank you for sharing this
Yes Dude
I come back to this video every now and then... I'm convinced this is one of the greatest live performances of all time.
AGREED. the world would be a much better place if we all listened to this duet once a day.
Same, I absolutely love her smile and giggle when John starts singing her song. They are so great together.
Yup, love it when artists come together and jam out!
💯

Just unbelievable stunning musical performance … Alicia’s vocal ability at the end with John’s guitar is genius … she is beyond heavenly sounds from her voice and her fingers. Her timing 🙇🙇🙇
That intro is superb. I love that woman
This sounds so unrehearsed and that makes it beautiful. Its blowing my mind how well everything is flowing.
it's super rehearsed, that's why it flows so effortlessly, the pro's don't half arse it
@@kezza10mail just because something is unrehearsed, doesn't make it half-assed. Because they are pros means they can go out and just feed off of eachother and make it sound great.
It's talent, it comes from years of daily work and practice. They would most likely play for free because to them its their calling and what they love to do.
they're professionals. simple. and also talent.
if it looks rehearsed, then that means they messed up.. it's supposed to be flow.
It's February 2019 and those smooth Vocals still puts a Smile on my Face
Oh my god me too!
Yessssss 💖💖💖💖
YAAAAAAAASSSSSSS, KWEEN! Agreed, hunty!
me too
Shit hits the soul!
This is literally the best thing I’ve ever seen
Bro i just discovered john mayer😅 this is awesome man my new fav 😎
Just Wow. Two of my favorite songs intertwined. Happiness
I feel like I should be paying to watch this
Dude this was soo epic
same tho
I felt so. So i turned my wifi off
I just saw this comment 4 years ago 😂
@@pk-xe4pw 🤣🤣
More soul on that one stage than in the entire music industry today
Hmmmm..... okay.
I totally agree
They're part of todays music industry
True, but you can't deny how shallow the music scene as a whole has become. I don't wanna single anyone out, but we live in a world where Cardi B won a Grammy. There's hundreds of rappers out there with more depth and message behind their lyrics. To me, if someone can't appreciate the magic that happened on this stage between John and Alicia, then you've either never played live music a day in your life, or you don't have an ear for all the subtle nuances in the music before you. The band went seamlessly from her song, to his, back to hers. And the lyrics for the two, sounds like he wrote Gravity in response to her song. It's a full circle mindfuck lol
Snarky Puppy? P J Morton's Gumbo Unplugged album?
It's still out there
Wow, what a wonderful performance. I can’t believe I had the pleasure to watch. Wish I could’ve been there.
Who would’ve thought this duo isn’t the duo we want, but the duo that we need.
This is one of the most real performances ever. Just three artists enjoying their talent together. The vibe was beautiful, I’m so glad this was documented so I could experience it too
💯🙂💕💋💋💕🦋🦋
3 artists... Can you not hear quest keeping beautiful time?
Are you excluding Questlove, my guy?
@@joshyarborough1265 I could... Quest was great, he gave the backpower of the whole perfomance..
There are a lot more than 3 artist in that stage.
Alicia is legitimately so beautiful, no makeup, just doing her thing.
One of the best female artists #PUREVIBE
Same for John Mayer
You just said it right 👍
You’re right! She’s a stone-cold natural beauty, with a beautiful talent to match.
Did you miss the voice?
I never get tired of this song. They are beautiful together
I don’t understand how I’ve never heard this before. Just beautiful.
I can't believe that I never knew this existed until now.... So good
You and I, both. Shameful, criminally shameful.
Same, the scenes from us not knowing are almost criminal
Same here
Saaaame!!!
I am today years old👀
7:45 is just musical fusion! You got Alicia screaming, John doing epic leads on his guitar, quest just going to town with the drums, while all being tied in by the backup vocals and musicians. JUST GREAT!
Great bass line too
MY thoughts exactly! Just a stellar fusion of talents just pouring their souls out! Can never get over this performance.
do yall know who the bassist is?
@@matthewsoto6365 Adam Blackstone, he's also the musical director here
oh ya...everyone is tripping out
I need this on spotify ❤😪
💯
This is one of the best live performances I've ever seen, and there is so much to love about it, most of which has already been stated in other comments. One of my favorite parts is at around 3:30, That smile on the young guy's face standing on a stage in NYC between these two musical giants singing to each other is simply priceless! What an experience! Then fast-forward to about 5:48 when Alicia starts singing Gravity...John turns and looks at the other musicians like friends, it's just so great. I think the one striking thing about this performance is the energy, humility, mutual respect, and friendship vibe on the stage. It's truly awesome!
that guitar solo played by Mayer had me choked. damn he's like a fine wine.
That gravity transition is smooth af👌
Everyone is talking about John and Alicia, but Questlove is so slept on.
Questlove and The Roots are genius. Also, he walks out gives a peace sign to the crowd...muted response. Come on people have you not heard his drum and bass drumming skills on 'You Got Me' show this guy some love.
He's one absolute unit though init
The drummers get it dude. Trust me.
couldnt believe how good he was !
also Young Guru. only the real ones know who Young Guru is and no ones talkin about him
Agosto de 2023 e eu estou ouvindo essa linda canção mais uma vez ❤
heyyy from Spain my brother
I feel So Robbed that I’m just now seeing this!!😫😭😭I Love Alicia keys & I’ve been listening to her since her debut album, but only really got in the John Mayer in the last year or so and I can’t believe I didn’t know they did this performance together it is absolutely magical you could just see how happy John is & in awe of her talent as well as she but he’s just such a true musician you can really see the joy when he sees other peoples talent shine ✨ it’s really great! ❤👏👏❤️
Don’t feel robbed I found this today. I feel so lucky
Felt the same way, then immediately thought of a love, then the two additional that came afterwards.
"Yeeeeeeeeeeeeah." - A.
Life is so good with music like this. Check out John Mayer Free Falling
Honestly, this video wouldn't be the same without the side cameras facing Alicia and John. You can tell everybody on that stage has an impenetrable passion for music, I love it.
ua-cam.com/video/SvVld96DnbY/v-deo.html
This is probably one of the greatest transitions of songs ever
Rendition
@Off2 Thailand segue is for conversation but transition is the term in music.
wypierdalaj, POLSKA PRZEJMUJE TEN FILM!!!!!
Bener bgt ampe merinding
Mmmmm
Holy cow that was amazing. Both are extremely talented and make beautiful music together. I could watch this video over and over and over..
Just love this so much.. how lucky those people to see this union of musical genius live it's unique and timeless ❤
This brought me hope in the middle of quarantine. In the middle of desperation.
Hang in there! :)
Same here in Bulacan
Same here in Bulacan
Alicia must be the most beautiful person in the whole world,not just the outer appearance. The energy she gives out is just so surreal
🤣
"just up here vibin" 😍
She's the definition of positivity
Alicia is the definition of an Angel who walks amongst us. 😊
I agree
Three awesome talents on one stage together. What a beautiful collaboration.
Don't forget the bassist !
Everybody was on 100 that night tbh. Everybody's talents aligned perfectly.
A beautiful love letter to New Yorkers everywhere from NYC. Beautiful performance by all. Mayer's playing reminds me of his incredible performance at MJ's funeral. Grazie, mil grazie.
