alicia keys force md's tender love cover

[NewEraKidd0323]

ALICIA KEYS is BETTER than beyonce.. everybody who disagree should "play russian roulette with a full clip" - j cole

[Laila4767]

For all those Alicia Keys haters, why are you listening to her music? If hate her so much, keep it moving. Nobody wants to listen to the garbage you have to say about, "The Alicia Keys". She is admired and adored by many. Not for the choices she made in her person life, that is her business, but for her talents and music she shares with the world. She is a beautiful person inside and out. Has done many great things for underprivileged children and should be respected for that. As you can see, I

[armani22]

she really murdered this force md song, she should be shot for trying LOL..l

[angela59759]

she is awesome

[khallus]

@AnnaMaeBullock get off your high horse (The point I made was there are two sides to a story are you so stupid you could not work that out?) you must have been cheated on so many times to feel this bitter about people you don't know or even met having sex.Plus Im a man and don't give a crap if you think I have whore like tendencies you dried up old prude.

[kares334]

Love the rendition, Alicia truly knows how to work her magic!! Her voice is tremendous.. and she herself is an amazing artist. Shes a Composer Extraordinaire!! Peace and Love Alicia&Family*

[sean311973]

Damn!! when I saw this I thought she better bring it on. I be damned!! she did not bad.

[MegaJasmine2012]

I think the loudeness symbolizes thier bodies yelling and combinging during the tender love..lol i guess i just have an imagination

[Cherbaby66]

Not even remotely comparable to the original. She's too damn loud. Midway in, she's screaming the ad libs. This is a quiet, sweet, tender song...she just made it loud and obnoxious and totally missed the last note which is the ultimate end to that song; a whisper. If she loved that song as much as she says, she would have left it alone. Even Jordan Knight from NKOTB did it better.

[elainelozano2]

@Cherbaby66 - ...like ur so damn great!!!

hahaha!

[4rogue6]

This is probably the best cover I have heard of this song. Of course nothing beats the original but she definitely brings something new to the song and gives it a new vibe without sounding horrible.

[blissmermaid]

love the original better, but her version is good too.

[vinyltouchvids]

Pure, straight up talented musician right here.Get it in before they're extinct.

[TheLatelycrew]

nice cover alicia but i think get got loud...this song is a quiet lowkey sound, very mellow. but Alicia still did her thang tho! good job on your version

[khallus]

@AnnaMaeBullock You don't personally know these celebs you just imagine what went on and only the real people involved know the true story.you are being an asshat!

[AnnaMaeBullock]

@khallus Wrong. Mashonda went public about Scarlet A's affair, whoreson (pregnancy) & Mommy Dearest antics well before her divorce. That's what "really went on" from my vantage point. That's all that's needed to deduce that AK is an adulterer. And you just revealed that you have whore like tendencies too. Why do all jump offs think alike?

[TerroristKiller1]

Ah shit love Alicia Keys but got dam some songs aren't worth covering espicially by other musical artist, R.I.P. DJ Rock, TCD and Mercury you guys made real music much love and respect GOD Bless.

[OPMaster1978]

Wow. Nice

[AnnaMaeBullock]

Homewrecker probably sent this out to Swizz Beaks while he was still married.

[ryanr20091]

@AnnaMaeBullock WHY BRING THAt up 

[AnnaMaeBullock]

@ryanr20091 Why summons a person back to this train wreck?

[4rogue6]

@AnnaMaeBullock

Alicia didn't have an obligation to Mashonda, Swizz did.

[AnnaMaeBullock]

@4rogue6 Everywoman has a moral obligation, a conscientious obligation, a karmic obligation, and in some states, a legal obligation, to say 'no' to married men and to set their sights elsewhere. 

[4rogue6]

@AnnaMaeBullock

While any woman should say no to a married man and vice versa, who married Mashonda? Alicia or Swizz? It doesn't matter if Alicia threw herself at him, he made the commitment to her not Alicia. I'm not saying it excuses her behavior because I don't condone cheating but Swizz took vows and he should not have been chasing Alicia or if she chased him, he should have turned her away until things were squared away with his ex-wife.

[chiefiron433]

man she butchered this song to hell

[vipvanessa1]

Love It ;) 

[trumprosie]

Honestly....Alicia SHOULD'VE Done It INSTRUMENTAL....

[cornbreadconverse]

simply beautiful

[TheFIRSTFatJohn]

"Tender Love" (Terry Lewis, James Harris III) is such a classic to me, that I wouldn't want anyone to cover it. I feel it is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard in my entire lifetime. But, if anyone could cover it and do it justice, it would be Ms. Alicia Keys. Thank you for posting this incredibly beautiful cover that almost equals the original, as she is such a beautiful, talented young woman. I am impressed by her and her band yet again!!! Really, really nice job! (O:

[pas911]

paddybase i totally agree with you nothing but respect for the keys

[paddybase]

Sister Alicia, you gave it 100% RESPECT to the group and to the song...from me, a brother from the 80s old skool generation.

[CreoleNag]

Damn she nails it!!!!!!!  Wow Thanks!

[jarbon5]

This was gorgeous. Her alto was not intrusive on this song at all, but rather, sounded natural for this performance. I'm one that would rather hear this song sung with that falsetto register all up in this, but this sound wonderful without it, and I didn't miss it at all. Go 'head Miss Keys:)

[BuenaventuraAvenue]

I WISH I could see her live but I meant whenever I see her singing live (on Youtube) she sounds more breathy than in the recording. Maybe they do some tinkering in the studio to take some of the breathy noises away?

[Raebae1120]

I FUCKINF LOVE YOU TO DEATHH ALICIA KEYS!!!!!

[arimababy]

great cover. Alicia sounds really "breathy" on this.. like she's..I dunno.. I know she's a great artist but why is she breathing so hard? I mean, the mic is picking it up real good.

[BuenaventuraAvenue]

@arimababy it seems like she's more breathy when she sings live...

[arimababy]

@BuenaventuraAvenue : OK, LOL.. I just thought she might have had a cold or something/// I have never heard her play LIVE. Must be nice to see her. Now that she has a baby, she probably won't be touring for awhile/

[Dcha1014]

@arimababy yeah, they probably cute some of the breathy-ness out on the engineered records

[cdolcv]

This is GREAT I had no idea it existed, thanks WOW

[AnkhMusicLover]

damn....my eyes watered up....damn!!!!.....

[avinkarel14]

well she just just ruined a great song :{

[JimBryanMusic]

I love this version, she did well.

[214kennedy]

Tender

[gitano045]

......No one should COVER Force MD's...Just leave it ALONE..!!!

[brownx3]

@gitano045 You got that right....

[bigdumbclown]

Alicia has a true appreciation for her roots and the soul of R & B. As opposed to this Soulja Boy/T.I./Ke$ha crap we're subjected to these days.

[duke33suns]

love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[America2France]

Go Alicia!

[jhampchristopher]

i love that she did that

[calferath]

Her voice is too low for this song. Nice try though. Can't touch original.

[BrownStarChick15]

Oh. My God. I've always loved her, but THIS just like.... topped it all. I ADORE her. So much. I need this on my iPod.

[101koolbreeze]

Nobody should attempt to cover this song. Not even her.

[swestnr]

Nice rendition Alicia! I rather for Alica to sing this than Beyonce

[forbesmh]

This was my high school's prom song in 1986. Alicia made it ten times better. I agree, she is a rare talent, and connects to all genres. Old/young, black/white. Overseas. Thx Alicia.

[Seoulchild919]

I like Alicia's remake....never knew she did it!!!

[realbeautyness25]

That is a nice song but maybe just not for Alicia to sing it just did not seem right

[gameshowluvr86]

She did the song justice!! Real smooth...

[Wolfsky9]

Alicia, Please, please keep singing--we need you so much in today's music wasterland. You are a gorgeous voice, & a class presence. GBY, Alicia. Wolfsky9

[ayyocool]

and yall gotta think shes singing live.. and she still did her damn thing..

[babydutchess10]

she better work it!

[rocafellafamo]

thats my fathers song

[angiep49]

how can get this on my ipod.... i need this version everyday!!!

[paltukmo]

2:08 wooooo she's good. Love this girl. She's such a great singer!

[honiet1]

Alicia Keys is a classic singer and songwriter

[jcarrasq2002]

Alicia I love that you are a musician who appreciates great music....And by the way I love you.....

[OKMAMI3]

i am truly lovin' this......

[jaggtmolina]

[Vee1980schick]

Not bad. Not as powerful as the original.

[thefabi0507]

[thefabi0507]

[pinoypogi1983]

[david2407]

dayz of our lives

[louiebone]

[Toishable]

Only Alecia can cover this and get away with it. Go Girl!

[MegaMrJIN]

[cutlass802008]

[SkioSoul]

It was cool, I like very much Alicia

[duke33suns]

Love u alesha!luv ur version !marry me!

[BassmanII]

Nice version. Alicia is a rare talent in this day and age of cookie cutter pop stars.

[doopolify]

that was really heartfelt. =) alicia keys added more color to the song. im not saying it's better than the original, but there's really something when alicia sang it. =)

[1crevolution]

U 2 bad chile!!!

[DIAMONDMINERECORDS]

I LOVE ALICIA KEYS....

[TecmoBO34]

Damn, she is so talented and so damn sexy

[MsScorpiolady]

wow!!!! go ahead girl!!!!

[mamigirl1986]

damn she brought chills and almost tears! this was soo beautiful makes me think of a special someone.. well if i had one lol since i dont it makes me think of when i did or when i will..

[ThatsTooSmall]

alicia keys. wow.  she beautiful and she has a filthy voice. what more can a person want?

[rene995118]

this is beautiful and so is she!

[MrSirch813]

Alicia Keys - This is the best make over I ever heard. . . .This song got me alot of love as a teenage boy. . . .

[vingents]

astig!cool cover..one of my fave rnb songs

[drelle504]

I really liked her version of "Tender Love". Sing it, Alicia! LOL

[serekithegreat]

Very good cover, but the original and Jordan Knight's are much better.

[bandcministry]

This song beautifully expresses the type of love that God has for us and the desire that he has for us to surrender to him.

[Edrice91]

one of the best piano melodies ever

[JAB5625]

i agree Edrice, brilliant piano melody

[mwillia1026]

Why is everyone hating on Alicia? Everyone knows the original is much better, but she did a great job. Her voice is mad sexy, and I was daydreamin she was singing this to me while I watched this performance lol.

[indiaknoles]

Are you kidding me? I prefer this version much more than the original. Go ahead and "tumbs down" me, that's just what I think.

[AKeysonmymind]

lol i went ahead and "thumbsed you up" to make ur "thumbs" at an even "0" cuz someone actually had thumbsd u down. =) and also coz i love this acoustic version more too.

[AKeysonmymind]

(indiaknoles)

[indiaknoles]

Hah thank you.

[funkateerkitty]

@mwillia1026 I believe U have given away the 'secret' of You Tube :)

...as I think of Nelly w/o a shirt on '-'

[mwillia1026]

@funkateerkitty lol What's the secret?

[funkateerkitty]

@mwillia1026 U know...sittin there wit that

silly-lookin smile plastered on Ur face as U

imagine my girl Alicia singing this to U.

U R cute my friend!

And the secret is that the "Tube" gives up

this ability to dream this very thing =)

(Except mine has Nelly...er...without a shirt on...she blushes...bats eyes)

[mwillia1026]

@funkateerkitty Haha thanks.

[covnty]

@mwillia1026 that's funny...right, she did a good job. Covering anyone's song is very brave and it also pays an utmost respect to the original artist.

[cutlass802008]

i would soooo do her .

[pinoypogi1983]

i like to play this song while fkng her.. i think its cool...

[daydreams82]

This is nice, and she's so beautiful

[whatagirlwants48]

i don't think she was trying to cover this song.....cause i think she honestly know she can't touch force md's but its the fact she tried and she's very unique so i really like it....i'm feeling her in this song. i really like her style.

[Darksorrow54]

this song is what alicia is about this his her favorite song from her childhood, she sun well and cover it better then anyone so far and this was all live ,,

[nineteen06]

Alicia (or anybody for that matter) covering this is like someone trying to cover "Adore" by Prince. The song is UNTOUCHABLE and covering it should be forbidden! There is NO reason for any percussion (beat) other than the piano on this song, the originals simplicity is one of the truest qualities of the song. Anyway, nice try...but well enough shouldve been left alone on this one!

[MediumThickness]

I have to agree. I love Alecia Keys BUT she didnt do this song justice. She was "doing too much" I was disappointed.

[indiaknoles]

Hey guess what? Alicia already covered Prince, and it was fantastic.

[nineteen06]

She didnt cover "Adore" though...

[nicklong1981]

alicia stick to your own songs, only force md's can sing that u are tryin to hard.

[tlofee]

Alicia Keyes is so dope,because she puts the younger generation on to a lot of classics that they wouldn't normally hear or be concerned about.Keep doing your thing sista.

[mjohn1012]

I love Alicia but im going to have to rock wit da Force MD's. This joint reminds me of the Krush Groove scene wit the candles and Shelia E.

[IcedStarLight]

its an interesting take- but be thankful the young'ns who like her will be put on to a classic... it's beatiful in its own way

makes me want to listen to the original again :)

[LGKids]

Dang, YouTube crew, I thought that I was bad! Alicia Please, must be fading out because the comments on here are comments that I would make! The background could go on, but she could play the the piano along with the original as far as I care!  The Force Md's truly where a force to be reckon with and will always blow any of these wanna be tryers out of the water! Peace!

[thechokers]

This is goood!

[jamarchina]

I must disagree with all the Alicia haters. She awesome. We all love the original, but this version is equally awesome. And whomever said that she's pushed wayyyy to "whatever" by the media for not really doing a lot, you're terribly confused. I challenge you to name one artist since 2001 is comparable to A. Keys (and please don't mention Beyonce, as they are not comparable).

[psnc10]

This version is nice but the original is better.

[MissJaynet]

Dang it really is a lot people who dont like Alicia, must be females LOL!! ( i had to make myself laugh.) I love the original much better. I love Alicia.. she writes her own music and she doesn't put herself out there like my girl B, but this was okay.

[tjcusack01]

true diva!

[theoriginalladypimp]

Wooow! I didn't know so many people disliked Alicia Keys. My mom even likes Alicia Keys and she hates everybody. I think this version is cool. The original will always have a special place in my heart though. There was such a sweetness and innocence to it.  Simple piano and the Force Md's harmonizing and who could forget the love scene from "Krush Groove"

[newschoolz]

Exactly, Alicia Keys is ok, but shes not the best and is pushed by critics wayyyyyyy too much for not really doing alot.

[musej2s]

THANK YOU 4 saying what has been on my mind since she dropped in 2001

[newschoolz]

Yes very over rated and she wouldn't last a second in the 80s or 90s with all the greats.

[shortnsexifemme]

the original is much better

[gunitzay]

<3 I LOVE ALICIA KEYS!!! <3

[newschoolz]

alicia keys= over rated

[newschoolz]

You=clueless

[newschoolz]

What a comeback.

[rawsketch]

The first part of the song was beautiful, a nice subtle twist on the original. However, I'm sick of the current crop of contemporary artists "going for the Grammy" with all their vocal acrobatics. Just sing the song, its a nice tender melody that does not need all the florishments.

[AGLegend01]

Beautiful...

[linjashm]

i like this too

[kaiulanijanie]

hahahh quit hatinnng!

yall kno she good!!!! wtffff

like u could sing any beterr yo

[fsu515]

her voice is so deep

[tifflwal]

Man you ain't lyin'. They butchered that song. That was my jam, and it was fine the way it was.

[masculine31]

dam she always messin someone's music up...

[djgq]

good but she cant hit dem high notes like the M.D.'s

[DCDirtBag]

Oh shit, I aint know she did a cover of this song. Song is so fuckin CLASSIC.....

[ihusisian]

Even better than the original!~

[ElwoodHi]

ANY GUYS UP?

I NEED SOMEONE TO TALK TO 8r

[Krysiii]

This performance was beautiful! You can see how much she loves it.

[rben777]

great song but its not the original

[ExoticDiams]

She's amazing

[thecockneyaccent]

Can this girl sing and NOT breathe heavily at the same time?

I don't so.

[kplord]

I live Alicia Keys. Her singing this song makes her my absolute favorite RnB artist.

[marinewifey25]

nice job girl....

[dstdiva58]

Alicia sounds real good!!! Don't get it twisted the original is the best but this version sounds good

[albertoscjr]

It's not easy to make a good or maybe a better cover than the original... Awesome! Cheers to her!

[MVP72nz]

yeah,the original version by force MDs was the love theme for the movie "krush groove",the track is written & produced by jimmy jam & terry lewis.

i like kenny thomas' remake,but this is really soulful,its great !

[301SO]

the origonal was For your love - by Stevie Wonder

[candyshop1968]

Go Girlll!!!!

[bonesiown]

i was about to be real critical: like what happen to the piano solo at the end? the end voals souldve been a lil more subtle.wouldve been better with a keyboard. but yknow what, she did her thang and was abeautiful rendition. she flipt n rockt it.go 'hed girl!cheers to alicia, my babymoms.hah!

[doko73]

She did o.k. put her own twing to it--BUT--how could she 4get the piano solo? She did alright and imma leave it at that!! p.s. she my baby momma!lol.

[freestylemusicleolat]

hey this song is an R&B masterpiece,the R&B groups in the 80's like Force MD's paved the way for the R&B singers u c 2day...this songs owns u man!!

[FatBootyFem]

See this is why "AK" is undisputed. They dont want it with the "Ch Ch Ch Ch Choppa" Shes the best.

[riccohinson]

Not enough passion in her voice. I wish she would stop with all that "yeah yeah" crap.

[oOoRoCkInMyHiPsoOo]

i really dont like [[ak]] that much but i love this song when she redid it!

[1982Breezy]

She is SO awesome no matter what the hell she sings!I luv her!

[bigdragon680]

I love when this woman sings she does it great everytime beautiful voice

[VintageHori]

Awesome cover of a great song

[ryquade]

FAgs song... what???!!!!! Dawg are you fuking crazy.... Thats one of the greatest R & B songs ever. Are you to smoove(Ice Cold) to be in love . Let me guess ... you're a PEIMP. Not one not two.... you need another one. Haha .. yeah right ... wake up dawg... be real. What s wrong wich man.

[myenmoni]

This why I love her.....she pays homage to all of the wonderful artist like force md who paved the way for her and her peers

[HEATWAVE79]

Amazing Cover, this is truly a talented and gifted artist and the breathing works for me.
