No disrespect to Alicia...but check out Teena Marie's cover...she blows up the Empire State Building and the whole of NYC..with her voice...!! RIP Lady T...
Maybe she grunts because it's in the lyrics, "Every night I sigh". I remember when Brenda Holloway recorded this song that was written by Ed Cobb. Great party record.
Alicia knocks me out with this one. She went totally "down home" old school 60s with this one. Like Mitty Collier and Gloria Lynn but totally Alicia . Old style camera, clothing, staging, instruments, etc. Except the Yamaha piano was a dead give away.
Pulled up Gladys Knight's version on Lala. Amazing artist - still. Loved Gladys since 1961 when she came out with "Every Beat of my Heart". Enough said.
yes finally some good music! i got this as a ringer on my cell too I think i went to ComplimentaryRinger. Com and got it, not sure, great tune any wayz.
Ok...she did better than just not fuck it up...this is a pretty credible version...glad to see she has enough chops to play the piano solo from the original version...
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Man does she over do it! Sorry but I just don't feel it. Its just too much yelling. This is a woman who has made a career out of false emotion. So forced! She doesn't know how allow herself to be vulnerable.
This version has absolutely nothing on Brenda Holloway's. She should have left it alone. But of course most people won't know the difference. So sad.
u know wat shut up!!! u have no idea what she feelin cuz u ain't her. for all u may know she has all the herat in the world. U can't judge NOBODY just by 1 video that nobody know who they are, and if u didn't like this video then don't watch it be smart and stay away from stuff u don't like and ppl who do like the stuff u don't.
This is decent, but it actually has nothing on the Clash's cover. No where near the power behind it. This is a sad song, and that's really just not conveyed well in this rendition.
@brookgo Actually the Clash's version is NOT soulful at all. Its a poor imitation of soul. The Clash werent able to carry the song like it should be..it was very watered down.
That's what I like about Alicia Keys. She's one of the few artist today that have that old school flavor in her music. And also she dosen't have to show skin to sell records.
ur right about that.but ppl like beyonce....she aint that great of a singer,but everytime her name is mentioned somebody has to say"she got a booty,"or " she fine."
I love her
