  • wow alicia is pregnant in this video

  • no no no...not a good match.!!!!

    Dm

  • After seeing this.. I can't help but wonder who would be the perfect match for a duet with her? Maxwell and Erykah Badu are fine but... I was thinking about someone who's been out as long as she has.. Like? El Debarge? His voice in considerably higher than hers but I think it would be an interesting contrast.. What do you guys think?

  • Alicia Keys looks stupid up there.. sry..lol.

  • No one should duet with Sade, no matter what next to her anyone is subpar

  • ahh where is the full performance, i cant find it anywhere!

  • Would have been better with Corinne bailey rae, Norah jones, or Maxwell!!! Alicia is so Meh, with a touch of Blah.......Not groovy enough, she tried to be that but somehow it went wrong and got mixed between pop in A STRANGE WAY.... She riding the lines of Soul music, but has not crossed over and never will, no matter what she does. She's just not on a Sade, Norah Jones, Maxwell, Corinne Bailey Rae, Marsha Ambrosius, Erkah Badu level, At ALL!!

  • Alicia's voice was not made for this song.Or she was very nervous when singing it.

  • Alicia butchered that shit like Shaq shooting free throws.

  • Seriously, no pop music song-stylings, Alicia! Ugh! Sade has nearly perfect tone, and Alicia is going Britney with her tone! Ugh!

  • nah... music is still alive... put Erykah Badu in there. Put Lauryn Hill in there.

  • sade gorgeous....i would put maxwell with sade. damn .smoking hot. Sade in movie with Denzel..now dazzz the bomb babeeeeeeeee.

  • SADE Looks So Beautiful man! WOW!

  • That is real... I can not believe I am just seeing this video.

  • THIS IS PROOF THAT REAL MUSIC DIED LAST CENTURY.

  • FAIL.

  • GREAT COLLABORATION BUT ALICIA SEEMS SOME WHAT NERVOUS AND SADE IS TAKEN IT SO CHILL AND LAYED BACK... ITS A KICK BACK TEMPO JUST ROLL WITH THE SONG ALICIA

  • @Lyriasrhyme Sade is someone Alicia has always wanted to sing with so she may be a little nervous but I think she did an excellent job.

  • sade is in her 50s and DAMN she easily puts all these boogawolfs to shame.......maybe it's because pregnant alicia is standing next to her.....ms keys, get the fuck off the stage and let a real og show you how to CONTROL THE CROWD

  • I see why nobody covers sade songs

  • alicia is off tone

    errr…

  • awww alicia is so talented

  • Sade looks great! I don't think I've ever seen her collaborate with another major performer.

  • Um, nice effort Alicia but this really sucks! Sorry!

  • this is a killer. Go back to the original. Damn Sade. U da bomb, but by yrself. U dont nd dat dime n a dozen R&B shit gg on -DAMN.

  • hope they don't do this again

  • Alicia has no business standing next to Sade!!

    You cant touch, compare, and factually, u can't remix Sade.

  • @frankchicago66 That is such a stupid comment! What do you think she's going to do, make Sade sound bad or rub off on her or something? Such silliness! Alicia's just singing with her, it will be OK. This is for a charity, it's not their next single or anything. Anyway Alicia and Sade sound great. Love both these ladies but some people are just taking things way too far. Dont' think Sade would sound too great singing "Fallin" but if they sang it, I would be fine with that

  • Alicia's looking to Sade for approval and Sade's just like, NO.

  • Wow!!!!! Alicia and Sade together, that is great!!!! Two beautiful woman singing together. But the pregnancy doesn't help to Alicia when she sings. She sing good with Sade, but it was her pregnancy state that didn't help her. But both have beautiful voices and I like both. I prefer that they sing together when Alicia hasn't a pregnant belly and she can use better her voice. But I enjoy to see both together. I'm a great fan of both.

  • Njaaa alicia keys has a baby.

    and maybee she can probalble breath? ahha or something.

  • why is alicia ruining this song...she needs to stop...Sade owns this and it is sad to watch alicia f*ck this beautiful song up...EPIC FAIL ALICIA

  • Alicia Keys and Sade. Apples to Oranges. Both great in different ways. This song sound best when Sade sings it.

  • Alicia doesn't do good duets. She is best solo.

  • Leave this to the best Alicia, Sade only. Please...

  • Alicia takes risks and that is to be admired. Not everything she does is spectacular, but at least she tries. Also it is not easy to sing with a big pregnant belly.

  • Sorry Alicia Get off the stage THIS time

  • NO COMPARASON...SADE is the BEST

  • alicia is intimadated sade

  • @SuperBnichols I agree. Alicia is almost Sade's stepdaughter.

  • damn, I'm a HUGE Alicia Keys fan. But nobody should sing Sade but Sade.

  • the best thing you can say about alicia besides she has a few nice records is that she obviously has the knowledge of music to know who to idolize....and although she pales in comparison, Im sure it was worth it though just to say she sang with the one and only Sade!

  • @zigcamil Thumbs up on your comment; I thought the same thing. I'm pretty sure that Alicia will cherish that moment where she was the first artist ever to sing with Sade. Well worth it!!!

  • no way!!! i fukkkkin love alicia keys shes also the best singer of this era!!! ever single song is so dam good and real and so filled with soul

  • i lovd it it is a like a mother and daughter duet !!!!

  • Sade>Alicia. No comparison. but then again there never was one.

  • Alicia is an awesome musician; she was trying to sing the song the same way as Sade and failed. The difference is that Alicia is a premiere musical artist of this day " The New School". Sade is a "Master" or "Mistress" (A Female Master) of music; Alicia's a competent artist indeed; but it would have been best to listen and learn from Sade. She cannot be outdone; 1 Luv

  • gtfo alicia..you messing the song

  • It has little to do with whose song it is. one voice (Alicia) , whether right or wrong for the song is typical passable r and b. like all her songs The other voice is pure, sultry, soulful,and unique and it could be singing old macdonald and no one, especially Alicia could ever touch it.

  • This is basically like watching Michael Jordan (Sade) and Kobe Bryant (Alicia) ...and you realize what a true legend when you witness them side by side. Alicia is an absolutely phenomenal talent and certainly can sing the song well, but Sade's style can't be duplicated. Its Sade's substance, elegance, and sensuality that make her unique unto herself and that can't be replicated by just vocal talent alone.

  • Don't get me wrong....... dot dot dot...... Alicia is cool.... but for her to be on stage with Sade is music Blasphemy... I can't believe that she thinks that she's THAT GOOD to hold her own against/with/featuring Sade.... as I stated before... shes good, but she ain't THAT GOOD... and then she tryna take Sade "Groove" that she does when she sings, and she(Alicia) look like she finna wobble her ass right off to the left of the stage... OMGoodness... Sade.... Girl..... Smh..... you lettn me down.

  • @jocquez1 dont hate,i dont think Sade would like what u jus said

  • @jocquez1 dont hate,i dont think u need 2 bring alicia down just to show that Sade is awesome,anyone can see that Sade is beyond great bt she still sung with Alicia meaning she thinks Alicia is worth her time,i'm just saying

  • Alicia is like Sade's little girl, with like Training wheels.

  • @kcasperpdx That comment just made my day, lmao

  • Why the fuck is Alicia Keys moving like that ?! And why the fuck did Sade agree to let this souless wonder TRY to sing one of her songs ?!!!

  • Oh dear, cringing!....

  • No this was disturbing too watch... sade should stand alone always.... especially when singing her own song... what is this.... #idontlike

  • Oh no, there´s no point in listening to Sade´s song without her incredible voice. Alicia does what´s possible while the Queen watches! no way!! lol

  • wow Alicia is shite in this. I thought she was better

  • this shows you guys what is wrong with mixed women in america. they don't know when to get off stage..get off alicia because your knocked up openly with someones husband, get off because you can't sing and get off because you look like a wanna be but never will be of sade...ughhhh...

  • Wrong Song Alicia!

    

  • Sade is the best!

  • alicia - rocking the  baby- no class!

  • @Whytamin007 great comment...I am so irritated with the way that alicia sounds singing this song. She is ghetto and her parents wish they could have produced an exotic English and Nigerian baby like Sade. American white women can not have children that look better than African and British people. I've lived there I know.

  • nein gefällt mir nicht..........aber vieleicht auch nur weil ich Alicia nicht mag nicht hören mag.

  • this is the only artist who doesn't swear in her music and that's why i like Sade's music.

  • Awesomeness 

  • i was just listening instead of watching and Alicia sounded she was having sex. unnecessary breathy vocals. lol

  • She tried, but Sade's songs are hard to sing. The only person I've seen do a good cover of this song is Rahsaan Patterson.

  • My God Sade is gorgeous!!!

  • Alicia Keys sounded a little off key. Seriously, no pun intended.

  • @THEDIRTIESTWHITEBOY she was for a second. and that riff at "that" was a little off too

  • The two Women in my life singing together, this is awesome.

  • Next to Sade, Alicia looks like a hobo.

    This really is amazing. The older this women gets, the more beautiful she is.

  • It's so happy to see Sade still singing! She's timeless. She's definitely definitely got a legacy going on.

  • i did not know that alicia wuz pregos!!! wwuuuhhwww!! alicia, awsome!!! sade mucho awsome!!!

  • @moonrox777 - Baby boy born last year.

  • Alicia who? I only look at and listen to Sade here.

  • Sade is fine as hell.

  • THAT SHOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED....AK YOU CAN'T TOUCH A CLASSIC OR SADE....STAY IN YOUR LANE!

  • lmao..im not even taking this serious. i love both of them. but heck no

  • Thank God Alicia is not a Sade. That's just silly and most people didn't need this video to prove that. They're each one of a kind and they both are excellent singers. Alicia has had some of the best music ever and nothing will ever change that. This was done for charity and both ladies participated Can't you just appreciate and enjoy it? Alicia did a great job here. Maybe some of you should try doing even half of what she does. Oh and wait till you're 8 1/2 mo's preg to do it.

  • Alicia Keys singing next to Sade is like the difference between Caviar and Mac Donalds... the two just don't go together....

  • @flaunt4me sooo TRUE lol

  • she is off key.im mad at this.

  • I love Alicia but I do agree Sade is ... something else.

    I dont compare is what i see,i do realy love alicia she is great

  • I love Alicia but I do agree Sade is ... something else.

  • Wow how sweet. Love it. 

  • 2 of my favourite singers....love it. And please stop comparing the 2. They are both extremely talented and have their own unique style. I

  • stfu dumb ass sade has not had a number 1 album since the 90,s and alicia is much better then her and prettier!!!

  • stfu dumb ass sade has not had a number 1 album since the 90,s and alicia is much better then her and prettier!!!

  • melanin........speechless1

  • she looks no older than 30... black women are goddesses of ageing. 

  • Sorry so many of you are in pain watching this. No, I'm really not. It's just a song and they're singing it very nicely (both of them). It's really not he end of the world, it's just a song. Hang on, it will really be ok. Besides if you dislike it that much I'm sure you'll never return here again. Right? That's how you can ease your pain. Love Alicia's voice and she sounds amazing here. Love Sade's voice also, just different.

  • Yeah... I think Alicia and Sade do not mesh well together. Sade is just a totally different artist. This duet didn't sound that good to me. Sorry Alicia.

  • seda is so much better sade looks beautiful

  • This is painful to watch. Sade is a good sport. She indulged Alicia. Artistically, they do not mesh well. Enough said.

  • If I was even "accidentally" on the same stage as Sade, ALL BOWELL MOVEMENTS WOULD BE EXPOSED ON QUE!

  • No dis respect ut Alicia she is good at what she does but leave is to Sade to do what she does best.

  • Alicia i love u but u should rest in here with this womb babe.and other wise i dont think u can handle with even dien sade.O

  • Sing it ladys !!!!

  • She is the hottest 52 y/o out there!!!! Beautiful!

  • I am No more an Alicia Keys fan but regardless of that I didnt understand why the duet...Sade is completely a solo artist and needs No help from Nobody especially Alicia....she seemed to be struggling...and she doesnt hold a candle to SADE.. Sade is timeless ..class act..

  • @imagefirst1998 They did this together because Sade was helping to support Alicia's Keep a Child Alive Black Ball event. Sade is an entertainer who Alicia has admired and she asked to sing with her. I thought it was kind of nice. I think they both sound really good. This is just not an AK song and no one is use to hearing her sing it. Still, I think it sounds really good. I don't know why some are so negative about the fact they did a song together. It's beautiful.

  • AAAAAAAAAAAAWESOME =)

  • I think Alicia Keys is a good musician and singer but Sade is obviously in a class by herself. Alicia keys trying to sing a Sade song alongside Sade is just not right! Come on guys, Alicia keys is NO Sade. This video made that crystal clear!

  • @byrd3109

    Dont' be a stan about it; or an anne for your matter. LOL @ the nerve of hoes now a days...

  • @byrd3109 their just singing together....why you have to compare.

    just enjoy good music

  • @pulsegang Huh, because the are singing next to one another! Hello? you hear one, then I hear the other. It's human nature to compare. You know, like apples and oranges?

  • @byrd3109

    alicia keys is reputable just like sade and to say she is not like you did then you obviously need to work on your knowledge of these two artists..and talking of comparison you can't because as you said this is sades song,you would expect her to be able to sing it better because it was assigned to her vocals because she made the song,not saying she did sing it better because she only sung the chorus and alica sung the verses.

  • @byrd3109 I totally agree with you

  • @byrd3109

    Totally agree...Shade in a league of her own...

  • @byrd3109 i soo agree with you!:-))

  • Lol! their dancing like if this song had a nice beat or something.............hahahha funny

  • I love Sade ,but I love Alicia Keys way more. Her talents are great. Sade and Alicia sound so great singing together

  • alicia sounds like a wounded cat...sade is smooth honey..

  • @canttouchthis421 How she sounds like a cat? She is in her comfort range fool!

  • Someone has done Alicia in. I didn't realise that, until now. Goodness me!

  • Alicia Keys song so great singing with Sade. They both are wonderful singers and people. I love both of them. Sade makes beautiful music and Alicia Keys does also. I am a big fan of Alicia Keys

  • @ToneProsPlaylist what are you talking about Alicia Keys is a legend also. she is a wonderful sing and she deserves to be up there.

  • @imarealdiva negative o.O SADE is a legend ..the keys girl has a ways to go though. Don't like her or her music but many do, so she might be someday ( however ridiculous i think that is....)

  • Alicia looks so tiny compared to Sade! Not Alicia forte' however; she doesn't sound right with this music. Unique to Sade.

  • Sade looks like she is about to punch the shit out of Alicia...

  • alicia keys looks like a fool up there --her voice on this classic song is sacrilege.

  • All that bouncing that Alicia is doing. LOL!

  • @remainingnameless -Ha ha. I know right? Her hip hop influenced ass.

  • @remainingnameless lol her feet prob were hurting,

  • watching both of them performing together is like watching a mother and daughter singing together.

  • eww eww eww I hate Alicia Keys ..sounded so awkward and gross but hey if it made money for poor children well I guess she did one good deed .

  • @Sonorite you really have a problem. Alicia Keys is a wonderful singer and person something is wrong with you intellectually.

  • Sade is a cougar! :)

  • ALL A Keys fanss go & like my new fan page for her on facebook, 'Alicia Keys Fan'

  • @Jamaicanmibeautiful Wow Idek sshe was that old! Smh

  • sade is beautiful, what a queen.

  • Why must we put down one singer to praise another? Sade and Alicia Keys have two different voices. Sade's style of singing is smooth, sensual, and unique. Alicia Keys has a nice voice with power behind it. Alicia Keys was pregnant...which hormonally changes your voice. But they are both beautiful, talented singers. Sade looks amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It may be difficult for Alicia to sing Sade.....and I know Sade's voice cannot hit some of the notes Keys sings. Both PHENOMENAL!!!!

  • @mariewilder Bless you. I still think Alicia sounds great, regardless of her being pregnant. This is a Sade song. I can't imagine what Sade would sound like singing "Fallin". They're both great singers.

  • @anitabreakone: Thank you!!! And I agree completely with you.

  • Never thought Alicia was a great singer and this sealed it for me. She was totally out gunned and out classed. I guess Sade will be 100 before shows any age at all. She is my air when comes to music and my Queen period.

  • Never thought Alicia was a great singer and this sealed for me. She was totally out gunned and out classed. I guess Sade will be 100 before shows any age at all. She is my air when comes to music and my Queen period.

  • Admittedly, Alicia is a great singer, but with her being pregnant... she doesn't sound good. It's not the same. Ultimately, there will never be another Sade... ever!!!

  • No disrespect to Alicia but Sade should NEVER EVER sing with anyone else cause her voice is on another level from 99.9% of anyone out there. It's her uniqueness that sets her apart. It's like comparing LaBron James to Michael Jordan. One is very very good and the other simply can't be touched....and Sade simply can't be touched.

  • @stackleft I most definitely agree 99.9%. Even if Alicia was at her best, which in this performance, she was far from even "good", Alicia could not compare. Sade is simply in an entirely different class level - in every aspect. Alicia in her own right, is great... but not Sade GREAT!!!

  • OMG, 2 of my favorite singers and 2 of the most beautiful women in the world AND SADE MY GOD she looks like she's 30 !!

  • Damn Sade is fine as hell. She's like 50 something but looks 19. DAMN!

  • 52 WTF! AND HER VOICE SLAYS ALICIA

  • Now I see why Sade dont do duets...Sade is in Much Higher Level than most...

  • Homewrecker Keys need to get the fuck off Sade stage becuz she not on Sade level at all. Fuckin Tramp.

  • Sade was probably thinking, Dam! Why the hell did agree to this. Alicia Keys needs to sing her own songs.

  • Alicia sings wonderful on her own stuff. Not on this one. It seems like she can´t hold the long notes. Sade´s style is very often about the long and straight notes. This is hard for RnB / gospel singers, cause they don´t know how to sing without vibrato ... hahaha - good to see.

  • she look better than alicia lol alot better

  • @aclass22 This is two weeks before Alicia gave birth and she looks beautiful. This is when the baby is growing the most and yes, the mother is growing the most. How can you say Sade looks a lot better? She's not pregnant and carrying another life. Silly to compare.

  • @anitabreakone, 1st Sade looks better than just about any all women, Second, who cares that Alicia is Pregnant. She still looks great, But considering Sade is old enough to be her mom, Im just Saying she looks better.

  • @aclass22 Well that is your opinion. I don't think Sade looks better than any or all women. She looks good especially for her age. As far as looking better than Alicia that is also a matter of opinion. I don't think so. Beauty IS in the eye of the beholder so I guess I'll agree to disagree with you.

  • @anitabreakone I see your passion for Mrs. Keys / Beats runs strong. LOL. I hope I have not offended you in any way. yes beauty is in the eye of the beholder so we can agree to disagree.

  • @aclass22 Yes, almost as much as your passion for Sade. LOL Anyway I do love Alicia's music and I think she is a beautiful person in MANY ways.

  • ALICIA GET THE FUCK OFF SADE STAGE YOU TOXIC BITCH. AND THAT BABY GONNA NEED PROACTIVE TOO.

  • @SantaBadd The only one is toxic is you. Why in the hell you would talk about someone's unborn child at the time! Who the fuck you think you are are?! Do you need proactive because you are the only blemish on this video! Shut the fuck up you stupid bitch!

  • Wonderful!

  • i guess alicia forgot to play the piano

    is she surgically attached to a piano?

  • sorry for being corny but look at Alicia's stomach...wow. women carry children and make life happen, its really amazing to today

  • OH WOW! I would have LOVED to have seen this LIVEEEE!!!

    Stronger than pride is one of my favorite songs, check out my page to listen to my cover and view pictures from Balitmore, MD.

  • Going to see Sade june 30 in Montréal #MtlJazzFest

  • @onnapastoutelasoiree I went too! Flew from Birmingham, AL. It was an amazing concert!!!

  • alltherave90, Coffeeandasmoke, Like I've said before, comparing these two is just dumb. This was for charity and it was just days before Alicia gave birth, which shows just how dedicated she was and is to this organization. So you know if you can't bare to listen to her then don't. It wasn't done for your benefit. This IS Sade's song, so of course she can sing it better. I think alicia sounds great also. She is a very special lady. <3

  • @cnwrchll3 I completely agree with you even the difference in their movements Alicia is way too R&B & Sade is so jazzy & natural

  • you dont have the rest your the only one that has this quailty??
