at 3:30 i would stand-up and shout if I was there and feel like it was the greatest moment of the night.. nice throw on alicia keys part when she sang: '..let me tell you i am.. a superwoman...!!' .. all 3 three did their job very well, combined with their different style/genre.. more thumbs up for these superwomen!!!!!!
Excellent! These women are truly superwomen in their own right and beautiful, too! I love how they combined the different styles of music! Speechless indeed! Five stars!
What kills me is that many young people my age, don't even know who Kathleen Battle is. And worse than that, we'll never have the opportunity to have seen her at the peak of her career.
This was the best performance of the night!!! Who would ever think to mix opera with rnb and hip hop! that's what you call innovative!...If you notice majority of alicia keys performances have something special to them with a special meaning! She's the artist of our generation!!
NO! I always say Alicia are you nuts!lol ANY DAY I'd pick Alicia over beyonce. Wow a very versatile performance indeed. Three musical genius's all jam packed into one performance. who could ask for a better night! all diverse, all makin a difference in the music business, all legends to come. Alicia youve done it again!!
This was done with so much class. These are three beautiful and talented women doing there thing for the world to see and appreciate. Well done ladies.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
that is "former diva" mrs. latifa, its ok, i know you meant well. kathleen battle hasnt sung in an opera house in over 14 years, shes been blacklisted and no one will hire her.
But you know, despite how "far she may have fallen" this served a great purpose when it first aired. So many of my students (middle schoolers) were all of a sudden so interested in Opera after this...and these are kids in the inner city!
eepp so amazing!:)Queen latifahs mic was out at first tho.:)But i love how they mixed all kinds of singers together,rappers,normal,and opera-ish?Lol i love it!:)Its ssooo amazing!:)
"they saw it was a cape not an apron" means that those who thought that the women were only good for "woman" jobs, such as cooking, hence the apron, realized that women are just as good as men, and were superwomen, hence the cape.
that men think all women can do is be on the kitchen and u usually wear an apron in the kitchen but they realized that were super heroes and not just the maids
This is one of my fave. performances!!! In general the song "SUPER WOMEN" always give me chills, but this performance...WOW!!!!!!! Those are some beautiful superwomen!!! AND DANG THEY CAN SING!!!!!!!
Her solo was one of the best parts. Queen Latifah is hip hop, Alicia is RnB and Kathleen is opera. Alicia combined the three genre's together to make an absolutely dominant performance. It's a jaw dropping performance and one of the best i've seen yet.
Yea...but kathleen put's a lot of leans in her music..which makes it sounds very soulful....u usualy here them in sprituals...she's creative..I thought she helped make this peice.
yeah, oh my god... ** <3
