  • awesome <3

  • ANYTHING Alicia Keys does I love. So to all the haters, GTFO! Thanks =)

  • There's not much she can do with this song, its too simple for her.

  • @dresden Agree.

  • Me and me friend has a cover of this if y'all don't mind seeing!! I hope you like it:) &&

  • sorry for saying this: that was just BAD x(

  • this is the only place i can find this song, it's been removed EVERYWHERE ELSE!

  • You can't cover the Fray's " how to save a life" 

  • she is switching to much from low to high and high to low... I'm having singing lessons for about a year now, and I do this to, but it just doesn't sound good... she should just sing it low like in the beginning :) I hate alicia keys but the beginning of this cover was really really good..

  • Wow, Alicia kinda butchered this! O_0 She's off pitch many times and her tone is cringe-worthy. I love her to death but this obviously doesn't fit her vocal style. Just my opinion.

  • i like it when people sing live

  • this is awful.

  • what a disaster..

  • This is so brilliant! xD

  • just because she doesn't sing this song with the same gusto as the guy who sings it form the fray, doesn't mean she's not singing with passion. are you in her head? do you know how she was feeling and what she was feeling when she was singing? NO, i think not. so, if you don't like the god-blessed song.... DON'T LISTEN!!!!!!!!!!! it's quite simple to do. you just don't click on the song. (:

  • @OrAnGeRaNgEgurl1127 U tell em!

  • this is awful! what a disgrace to The Fray!

  • People usually dont do covers to outdo people. They usually do it because the song really meant something to them.

  • I know not at what you've all O.o SO is not at all bad! I think her voice is the hammer * _ *! put on some they would sing differently .but the only hote just horny!

  • Wow, this is not good.

  • FAIL! very very very bad!

  • I like Alicia Keys, but IMO she needs to sing this song with a little more passion because I heard that guy from the Fray singing it and he had a little more fire than Alicia.

  • the fray is better !

  • not even better that the fray also cut some word

  • woah, Miss Keys did her thing on this cover,

    people should stop hating.

    I appreciate the original but that doesnt mean noone else should.

  • 0:37 Between the fear and blame?

    Between the LINES of fear and blame

  • Though I'm not really a fan of The Fray, I always liked and admired this song, something about the plain honesty in the lyrics added to its likeability. And I was a huge fan of Alicia, so i commend her for doing this but there are one main thing i think she did gravely wrong in this cover and that's the switching up of vocal styles. She does vocal runs at the end that don't go with the rest of the song which she covered fairly plainly and straight forward. Anyone get that?

  • @paulipaz Damn straight, I came across this comment the moment she changed vocal style.

  • always loved alicia keys voice! beautiful

  • @PonyMadGirl94 , you´re so right

  • the other covers are much better than this!

    Whats going on 1:11 ??

    Like shes bored of the song...

  • omg, holy shit. She sings so bad >.<

  • intelligent commenters: "Wow, interesting and different." dumbass commenters: OMG NOT THE ORIIGINAL OMG ITS DIFFERENT OMG ITS PAINFUL

  • This is really good..

    And this song is very hard to sing especially for females.

    And its fucking Alicia Keys!!! How can you hate it!!

  • Better than the original. PERIOD.

  • @ThatwasTERRIBLE I agree !!!!

  • she started way too deep

  • why does she sound like a boy?

  • @dolphin2303 I think this song is like the worst song for a girls to sing. There's a struggle to find the right key. I'd NEVER make it using the original key. It's a tricky song ><

  • She is just gorgeous!! I <3 her voice :D

  • i actually just got tingles. hole ley shit.

  • This is an incredibly difficult song to sing and I think Alicia is not only a talented singer but also a gifted musician and I just think if I walked into a room and she was playing this on the piano and singing then I'd simply sit down and listen...nuff said.

  • once a cover is questionable or and needing people to defend it, you need to face it that its not good enough..

  • Alicia's lower range is beautiful. The beginning was really haunting.

  • this is a good cover... people are just hating on it because they consider themselves the type of people who "dont like music like alicia keys",.. i dont like alicia keys or the frays other tracks.. but this is a good song. No one can make it sound bad... trust me, i do it at karaoke and i cant sing for shit.

  • When I heard this a few years back on the radio in my car I had to pull over and cry. Every hair on my neck was standing on end.

    The Frays version didn't hit the same chords in my heart.

    That's the power of a cover version.

  • @bruckerluv

    No the frays version doesn't hit the same 'chords', it hits the right ones...

  • She destroy a beautiful song!

  • @ThisJacobNessie yes!! ur right this number had a nice story until alicia started to sing this:( long life the fray :)

  • love it :-)

  • I would like to hear her voice with The Frays's ver now that would be a hit.

  • Her voice can reach such deep and high notes, it's incredible!

  • This is really bad. D:

  • my ears are bleeding....

  • hey can you ut the lyrics in the discription please of thats okay ?x

  • Comment removed

  • I absolutely love some of the little melodic phrases she added. Her tone is, in my opinion, the best in pop music since Mariah Carey's.

  • @RanjitMorey So true

  • she did wonderful actually!

  • Why are people hating on this? She wasn't trying to outdo The Fray, the fact that she's covering it is simply a compliment, and a tribute to the original. Guys, it's different to the original, okay, we get it. The original is the original, it's pretty much unbeatable, but I think that Alicia did an amazing job in her own style.

  • @smileimplant the point is that her singin is bad. thats all we say.

  • @smileimplant but she could of done better aha..

  • This was terrible her voice is lower than a mans..

  • this is god awful.

  • it sucks!

  • wow amazing i love this version so much a lot better than fray's

  • I dont realy like this version but still better than some other covers

  • Am I the only one who prefers this version? Thumps up if u like this version too.

  • @Spuruma I like it, but don't prefer it because I see it as a separate piece. It's beautiful :)

  • This video is now sponsored by your mom, and by the letters F and U. Now Stfu about apple, no one gives a shit. And as much as I like some of her music and love her voice, she killed this song.

  • I know that The Fray and Alica Keys sing totally different music and I respect her for trying this but , to be honest, she killed it

  • omg.... the sound is like even lower than the fray...... shes a girl....

  • I like Alicia Keys but she shouldn't of ruined this song

    It's one of those were only THE FRAY can sing perfectly

    The Fray's version is 110% better.

  • bad i like the fray better words are messed up

  • Live lounge has produced some amazing covers. It doesnt always work so much but considering people always sing songs from genres differant from their own I think Alice keyes did a damn fine job,not perfect but you can hear she has an amazing song and numerous other singers wouldnt have taken this challenge.

  • This kind of sucks.. She's pretty bad at singing it, and.. she doesn't even do the lyrics right! The Fray is the only way to go with this song!!! LIVE LONG AND WONDERFULLY, THE FRAY!! 

  • dark?

  • o.o What the hell... is this?

  • wtf  why she do this to me? D:

  • It's okay

  • Bad

  • lol she sounds manly..

  • Ok, I have been an Alicia keys fan for years...but this is not her type of music.

  • I prefer this version.

  • erhm.... no sorry xD

  • Hhh sadly i must dislike becaue the original is way better

  • I've heard the original song by the fray and Alicia keys has nothing on them

  • She CAN'T sing.

  • @importmusicfan1

    Yea she can, this song just wasn't, errmm, for her...

  • I fucking love Alicia Keys.

  • Its a nice cover and Alicia is a great singer.

    But something is missing.

    That little something that makes my heart ache in a good way, when I hear the version from the Fray.

  • this sounds like shes fell over, hurt her knee, and started singing or should i say whining this song

  • @soffk03 This is how singers sound live. The fray would do the song in a different style, yes, but the singer won't be studio perfect.

  • I think all you negative people should give the Live Lounge artists a break. Doing these covers is an opportunity for them to step out of their normal music element and sing a song that they really connect with, even though it's not theirs. And not to mention live makes it 10x harder.

  • @TheGirlinAmask98 That's what I'm talking about!

  • its ok.. but she sings like shes having an orgasm! lol:D

  • its too low seriously, not a right song

  • I hate it when people say which version they prefer. watch the other if you like it. don't leave any unnecessary comments please.

  • Sorry, but this was a mistake. Alicia, you should had re-mixed the song at your own style, because this style isn't your strong point.

  • This SUCKS!

    I love the original version-3

    It was my mom and her best friends favorite song before her best friend died;(

    I miss her and ever time I listen to this song it makes me cry but nit when she sings it!

  • Comment removed

  • Not to be a hater, but this realy wanted me to throwup. this is just terrible.

  • Ouch...this is terrible..I love me some Alicia Keys but......

    *checks if ears are bleeding* this is kinda really bad.

  • DAMN look at dem titties

  • It's a beautiful cover.

  • i prefer the version of the fray..

  • @camcool5 ugh, then watch it.

  • Its sound slower than the frays version

  • Love her, but she kinda ruined it.

  • the fray ist viel besser das hier ist voll scheisse

  • I have nothing against Alicia Keys, but she just doesn't fit this song... maybe i've heard it to many time by The Fray... but props for giving it her best.

  • @MrEmOmO it's just her own version..(different singers=different versions)

  • @butyins Oh, yeah i know that :3

    I just prefer the version by The Fray

    But that's just my opinion

  • she doesn't even know the words

  • Her voice is awesome.....obviously this isn't made for her but she still sounds great...she made it hers as a cover!

  • Love Alicia and her beautiful voice. This is just a little different than most of her songs but it's still beautiful.

  • She is amazing. She has her own songs just a great though that she can always sing. Why go to the Fray's level when she's superior in sales. She's iconic soulfully.

  • @MusicLuver093 Do you even know what the live lounge is???...

  • @jkinpar Yes... not sure how your comment is relevant to mine but yeah sure of course I do.

  • Not keen on how low she starts the song off, makes her voice sound a bit shit which is a shame cuz he is brilliant nd super talented

  • @ ThePianoguy89, I couldn't have said it better thank you. I LOVE what Alicia did to this song. It's a different sound ....a raw sound, an Alicia Keys sound. GREAT JOB!

  • @ ThePianoguy89, I couldn't have said it better thank you. I LOVE what she did to this song. It's a different sound ....a raw sound, an Alicia Keys sound. GREAT JOB!

  • The comments are a tad harsh. Alicia Keys is talented vocalist and musician, just cause she this one wrong. Doesn't mean she "sucks at everything" :)

  • 1:13 AHH ITS HORRID

  • @KrutNallen That's because of the quality of the recording.

  • why test the fray?

  • me thinks someone takes things WAY too seriously ...not gonna name any names though...I'm sure we ALL know who I'm referring too....as for the song..it wasn't horrible..she definitely went flat at one point, but it's still a great re-telling of the song.

  • good song :)

  • no me gustó :O

    mucha desafinación, y la voz no se escucha bien en esta canción

  • fray better =))

  • ugh.

    No emotion.

    Her voice sucks

    The song is too slow

    She killed the lyrics

    I love complaining

  • @thatstopmotionkid Her voice has a lot of emotion and she has a very beautiful voice. She makes great music and how dare you say her voice sucks. She has a soulful, powerful, and emotive voice. She only missed one line of the lyrics. Don't hate on her.

  • BEEEEEF!! good song though :)

  • I don't like this cover, it's a littlebit to slow. The original is better.

  • Um, you guys need to understand that this is 100% live. Anybody else that you've heard is 99% likely been mixed. Boyce Avenue for example- their videos are mixed then audio synced back up with the video. Just saying I think some other covers may have given you guys the wrong idea.

  • vocals are terrible

  • @ShowMeYourSkillo No they are not!
