alicia keys - killing me softly

[Unitedgirl320]

omg who cares who did it better just listen to the damn song and shut up

[ferry888]

Still.... Lauryn's version is better.

[MRSdestiny2012]

i love this song<3

[kanggosaha]

love it^^

[SvItoJ]

wooooww

[superflyguy12121212]

um not to be rude but you all do know roberta didn't make that song lori lieberman did roberta just made it a hit

[superflyguy12121212]

she could of at least sang the whole song and put in one of her albums it could be a hit just saying

[brettnhomer]

Slow down!!! Stop OVER SINGING everything..It is sad that this girl, with mediocre talent, has so much exposure. It goes to show you, in today's music scene, you don't have to be talented, you just need a good agent!!

[butyins]

@brettnhomer what the fuck are you saying man? xD ''mediocre talent''? this world is lost...oh god

[ThePianoguy89]

@brettnhomer You are very stupid to say that! Alicia has a super talent, not mediocre! You are the one with no talent at all!

[Seventheborg]

Nobody owns this song but the great and only Roberta Flack, period.

[MK9LORD]

Those harmonies are flat lol.

[addisonoverberry]

I'm sure someone's already pointed this out, but you misspelled "brought". Just wanted to reiterate that you're a fucking retard.

[catzdogs1]

This version is angelic....the piano rifts are most excellent.....

[TheVampireOla]

WTF??! Nie, ona przy Lauryn nie umie śpiewać tej piosenki.

[mayumi1223]

lauryn is the best!!!!

[ALINEZICA1000]

THIS IS BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LoboAscuridad]

Who was the first to sing this?

[Kn0ck0uTk3n]

@LoboAscuridad Don Mclean

[lolamv213]

@LoboAscuridad the jackson 5

[dooly124]

Funny how everybody thinks lauren was to the original..NO its was a lady named Lori then came Roberta Flack and then Lauren Hill of course and then alicia keys or wateva

[datreehugger1]

fugees better than alicia and laurin combined



[Wolf8x2]

@datreehugger1 lauryn IS in the fugees moron.

[phukyouu]

@datreehugger1 hahaha fail comment

[TheSkilZzz]

FAIL

[andersnlisa]

I dont mean to be negative..but she doesnt sing she screams...she cant sing to me..and she didnt do this song any justice at all

[GGGIKOE]

not bad but laurins voice is special.

Cant replace it.

[pocionk]

LIPTON... LAURYN PINĆ RAZY LEPSZA

[paochoua]

Lauryen Hill Ver is waaaay better

[HildaMcFumble]

@paochoua Yeah, Lauryn's may be better but she just gave up after one album! At least Alicia is still out there making good music for her fans

[mACKs94]

I like Lori Liebermann best. This a bit noisy.

[futureace73]

It's all about Roberta Flack's version. And thats not the original either. Lori Lieberman, people.

[classicoflamenco]

not bad but not such god as the fugees!!lauryn hill has better voice than alicia!!

[bootjackson123]

You've got to hear P!nk's version, she killed it, too.

[kacylyn916]

her voice is ahhhmazn so the song really works for her

[tomaluta]

I do like her but laurin is the best for this song

[classicoflamenco]

@tomaluta i think the same too!lauryn's voice is unic,...is not for anyone....not even alicia....

[tomaluta]

@classicoflamenco Thanks brot.

[converseshoeboy]

alicia keys killed lauryn hill, no fucking way!! i love them both, my fave female artists

[classicoflamenco]

@converseshoeboy sorry, but alicia is nothing compared with lauryn!!!and i love the both too!!but lauryn is the best for sure

[andrelemi]

in the beginning her voice is SO kellly clarkson! Oo

[landyachtfan79]

[lucasvanrijn]

Best version on youtube.. Best singer in the world

[NIRVANASEX17]

good!!!!

[GarIicjr]

man as a 11 year old kid this song spoke to my soul, havent forgettn it since it use to play on the radio. This song made it worth haveing to sit in a car all day.

[veetothebee]

braught is with an 'o' instead of 'a'

[zinazina11]

i like roberta flack's version better :/

[francisconejo]

much much better

[zitronesaft]

hey, do you like piano music!? then watch to ym piano cover

[TammyKasher]

Simply beautiful

[madinina97toww]

bien !

[krystalcat]

word...

[gemmaredrose]

she has a amazing voice :)

[juanestebanaliaga]

her voice make me horny

[brinanadasmurf]

<3 killin me softly.....yes he is...?

[KACarnahan]

This version was a bit dodgy Fugees is a bit better.

[BoiGeniusInc]

@KACarnahan this version was Live...had it been done in the studio, it would have been = to the Fugees version.

[djalternegro]

@KACarnahan

i still do not understand why people think alicia keys is a great singer. great pianist, but her voice is nothing special.

[Penrappa]

@djalternegro I agree. Her lyrics and piano skills are amazing, but her voice is NOT all that. She DOES sound good though, better than most.

[musikenergy]

@djalternegro So true....

[yobhsiFehT]

@KACarnahan

I love Keys and Hill, but I don't think this version should be compared to the Fugees version; you gotta compare it to the original. All three are great, tho, for sure.

[shristi1987]

@KACarnahan

I think fugees own this song..with Lauryn Hill's voice,,there is just no comparision

[lolamv213]

@shristi1987 I though the fugees owned the song too until a friend of mine told me that michael jackson sang this song when he was in the jackson 5.

[dandcd93]

@lolamv213 Robert Flack did the song first...

[bassistdc]

@lolamv213 If anybody "owns" this song it's Roberta Flack. Luther Vandross's version is quite good too. No disrespect intended.

[brettnhomer]

@lolamv213 you must be 13 yo. The Fugees??? The trashed this song..No Talent rappers..It was embarrassing ..Michael Jackson?? thank God he is dead!!! If you want to learn about music, dont listen to anything after 1973..Listen to jazz, bluegrass, blues and REAL R&B

[lolamv213]

@brettnhomer Do you understand what I thought means? the first time I heard this song was when the fugees sang this song & I did not bother looking it up at the time because I was not interested in it. The original singer is Lori Lieberman she wrote a poem when she went to don mclean's concert. So she is the one who owns the song. I was just misinformed there is no reason to be rude. Have a good day sir & take it easy :)

[Haiuan215]

@KACarnahan a BIT better? How dare she.

[divafix]

i think jackson 5 song it best the melody was more calming.

[tropical2009]

trop de clase cette fille!!!

[GardenGnome02]

a ma sucer hier soir

[Kessiel]

Sorry, but this simply doesn't work. It's way overdone. Alannya's rendition is much better - almost on par with Roberta Flack's original version.

[azxc49]

thank you understanding.

:)

well you got me there. but flack's will always be the master version, but hill's is a bit better. in my point of view.

:D

[azxc49]

i was mad that day, so i commented in a angry tone.

but i still love lauren hill's version.

my bad.

[Moldiepoops]

This makes me feel ill. It's a musical disaster. No offence to the gal

[bestplaceproductions]

I like Alicia & all, but she shouldn't of redid this. Like azxc49 said, Lauryn Hill takes the qold, she did the best version.

[azxc49]

ohh what the fuck? why does she try to cover every famous song? just because she's alicia? hell no.

the original is the best.

but the one who takes the gold is Lauren Hill, she did the best version.

[tonemenolc]

Roberta Flack 's version of this song is so well done that there's really no way to improve on it. Alicia tries to change the style of it a bit but that only detracts from the feeling of the original version. Sorry Alicia.

[mightyjay531]

sorry but L Boogie definitely outsang Alicia and Roberta Flack...and that's no disrespect to Roberta Flack

[susiestv]

sorry , this is horrible. what a way to butcher a nice song

[texasaggie85]

6. Jerk off

7. Goto Sleep

STFU

[blackbeardtwo]

Is that what you plan to do today? Can't imagine any human would want to go near you, so it must be.

Tell you what, take your own advice and STFU.

[texasaggie85]

so why is it that you removed your own dumbass comment? maybe you realized how pathetic it actually was... btw thanks for shutting the fuck up by removing the comment

[blackbeardtwo]

Actually, assface, I removed it because of cretins like you who think they own the internet.

Pity you can't take your own advice and STFU aint it, you arrogant sod?

A Yank like you who can't even spell!

[texasaggie85]

oh right, very nice counter argument! took you a month to come up with that? haha.. it makes no sense. as far as spelling goes, who the fuck cares, its youtube! plus i didn't misspell anything you dildo. i also live in texas you dumbass, so...not a yank!

ps i don't capitalize on purpose, it's the fucking internet!

[blackbeardtwo]

Actually, I only just noticed you'd replied to my first comment. Really, that must mean you'd not clicked 'reply'. In fact, the only reason I'm here now is that I got a notification about Kokoro562 - apparently you don't know where the 'reply' button is. Go figure.

Yank, cowboy, whatever.

And spelling and grammar is always important. Just so you know.

Is it really necessary to keep swearing? I'm trying to use variation in my language, is your vocabulary really that limited?

[Kokoro562]

cretins sod and yank.. lulululuululululeee

[Kokoro562]

ew jerk off? youre nasty

[blackbeardtwo]

Yes, I try to variate my insults. More than I can say for texasaggie85. Or even you, who seems to find it necessary to resort to 'jerk off'.

You're nasty, you cad.

[Kokoro562]

i dont need to 'jerk off', lmao. and how am i nasty? youre the one telling people to do that, you brit.

[blackbeardtwo]

Telling people to do what? See, now all you've done is confuse me - I never told anyone to 'jerk off'.

And I'm not a Brit either, you buffoon. Is your geography really that bad?

[blackbeardtwo]

Hah, just noticed what you are referring to.

Can you not read? It was the Texan who told me to 'jerk off' - I did not say it. Also, I hate to have to add this, but...I didn't tell you to 'jerk off'.

I suggest you take some English lessons, then get back to me.

[texasaggie85]

how about you just shut the fuck up, because you aren't making any sense. i use profanity because that's what you deserve. SO QUIT SPAMMING! and SHUT UP... I will not reply to anymore bullshit you write because more than likely it won't make any sense.

[blackbeardtwo]

I deserve profanity? Sure I do. Guess what genius - only those with limited vocabulary resort to swearing. Does that make sense to you??

Anyway, I will not be continuing an argument with a berk who can't understand plain English. So I guess that suits both of us then, doesn't it?

[TriniDaddi]

dude jerking off is good as fuck, why would you say something negative about the 1 thing that feels good and cant hurt you? You gay or something?

[mrbals2]

what the shit

[hitmancoolio]

No.

[Sof1123]

I don`T LIKE IT((((

[tourbocat]

me too!

[MrRUNDMCfan]

This isn't a good version - at the beggining, anyway - it gets better. But why is she screaming Oversining to the max! Gud singer though :D I perfer Roberta and the fuggees :D

[texasaggie85]

y is she yelling? this is an elegant song

[ilovjoe587]

lol

[krayzee001]

Sorry, I still prefer Roberta Flack.

Alecia ruined it. I find it too strong and noisy feel to it. *shrugs*. She's a great artist though. :)

[zzzzz87]

I actually think she overdoes it here, but then nobody including Lauryn Hill can compare to Roberta Flack and her version...that being said, i think it's actually an appropriate choice for Alicia to tackle b/c she's kinda the modern-day Flack.

[MizShinobi1]

neverrrrrr gona beat lauryns. but shes extremely talented of course..

but lauryn just gets to me differently

[LittleCloudSc]

she killed it. i hate alicia keys.

[luciiynka]

dumbass

[wonderwoman55]

she kills the song

[Poopsiewoopsiedodo]

haha

[ChicksItalian]

i actually like the roberta flack version the best.

[AAODS]

Lauryn is Betta still love ya Alicia tho =]=]

[kuth15]

shes hot

[YungEducated]

There is no way.

You can compare this to Lauryn Hill's version..

Alicia voice lacks what Lauryn's voice is full of...

I can't tell you what that sumthin is...

When Lauryn sing...

It gets my soul feelin a certain way...

I dnt get that feelin wit Alicia...

(or any artist at that)

[videowatcherkc]

Good but Lauren's version is better

[DulceXSexyXSensual]

Yeah i think so too this lady took it to high and is missing soul/attitude but it sounds pretty.

[Schahin1990]

better than lauren hill

[yourstereotype]

actually good, but I still connect this song with lauren hill, =)

[leonardoanestesia06]

the jacksons 5 is the best version,,,,pure music

[Zievertruut]

Nàaajss x

[hallnic2003]

her voice is...kind of perfect for this song. And of course it's a new jazzy thing with the piano...awesome. when I heard the piano, I thought I wasn't going to like it, but I haven't really heard Alicia do wrong.

[denizbeee]

wow gud job

[meshmesh5577108]

i wonder if ther's a longere mp3 or avi version ???

[Rannoe]

rlly nice :)

[MoNaMaMr]

ślicznie !!!

[Nabzed]

Go and see Lalah Hataway's version with Marcus Miller. Much much much better !!!! this one is really bad. Bad voice, bad comping...

[matthewharris065]

First off, saying Alicia Keys has a bad voice and saying her song, or cover, is bad makes you automatically insane and Deaf! It might not be your cup of tea and you might like Lalah Hathaway's cover better, but this is by no means bad, especially since it's not supposed to be a full track, it was something done at a concert to show what she had come up listening to.

[fbovgs666]

Agreed. Alicia has a great voice, she've done really well in this song, as usual. Lalah have done a great job too. If someone like one singer better, there's no need to say the other one sings bad, especially when that's not true...

[DolisDestiny]

yes exactly !!! alicia keys for life!!!

[prettyadrienne]

Are you crazy?!? Alicia Keys is one of the best singers out. She has an really inspiring voice and I love her! I know its your opinion, but I really disagree!

[prettyadrienne]

Sorry, I meant to send it to the other guy. But, you are exactly right. Good job on telling that person.

[xCherryB0MB]

it was at a private showcase in Amsterdam

[locafilosofia]

ojala estuviera el video....
