  • It is spelled Georgia, not Geaorgia. Please correct your mistake.

  • Jamie Foxx is a talented man. No doubt.

  • I think that the original was more than amazing, something that is incomparable, but they certainly did a great job trying.

  • true beauty, true art

  • this was the last song i ever heard

  • people who think they distroyed it are definitely really old.

  • Ray Charles would have loved this cover if he were alive! All the haters need to shut up like ya'll can sing better than Alicia Keys a multiple Grammy winner and Jamie Foxx an Oscar winner for playing Ray Charles yeah NOT

  • THEY JUS CLEARLY MADE IT THEIR OWN....BUT IT WILL ALWAYS BELONG TO THE GENIUS OF SOUL BABY RAY CHARLES!!

  • wow....that was beautiful!!

  • Alicia i could understand.. but Jamie what did u fucking done ?

  • I admire both Alicia Keys and Jamie Foxx individually, but they completely butchered this song >_<

  • it was good til about :34

  • I think this is a great cover! Ray is pure and perfect, but this isnt bad at all!

  • dumbasses it's not a remake, it's obvious a tribute to Ray Charles, who had just passed when they did this...

  • Geaorgia, really bro? 

  • Fuck the Grammies!!!

  • 1:23 had to stop. this is not my Georgia.

  • 0:30 Jamie was flowing like Donny Hathaway at very beginning.

  • OKAY THEY DOIN IT 4 RAY THEY NOT STEAL IT DAMN

  • no one can ever beat the origenal, remakes of songs are usually destroyed, keep it real!

  • what a beautiful song.. they have made into awful awful shit

  • @admiraloaty Yeah right! I particularly find the crass tempo change cringeworthy. The catwailing is also a low-light

  • den ray charles geif sech am graaf emdreinen

  • Great Job. I love Ray <3

  • honey, I know you are trying but you can't even slightly touch Ray. Georgia will always be Ray's.....

  • Comment removed

  • I'm not saying they cannot sing... but in this song in particular, they are doing it like shit

  • they destroy that great song of ray

  • @little55855coyote Right, it's not JODECI, it's RAY CHARLES....

    Ray had a cadence, a tone and a way that was just NICE

  • Another FANTASTIC! performance from AKeys. N Jamie did his think. -3

  • all of it amazing then i hear queen latifa`s voice :( ruined it all

  • hell ya, they should marry

  • If u ask me, Alicia ruined it. In my opinion she cannot sing...

  • this is the worst version ever. its wasnt made to be upbeat song. it was made to be in memory of wat ray did for georgia

  • <3 Ray Charles, RIP

  • Where's the screen montage. That's right! There just wasn't a screen big enought to hold Ray!

  • This is the worst version i have ever heard in my life.

  • Get in line ...... who doesn´t ?

  • yes, rubetube...he took classical piano at San Diego State. Ironically, the producres of 'Ray' had NO idea of this until after he was cast....Score!

  • wow...they murdered that one

  • apperantly this dude dont kno how to spell Georgia*

  • @MrHotstuff555 Apparently you dont know how to spell many words :D

  • He can play piano too?? :)

  • great strings!! great session at all!

  • shit version...

    

  • 2 of the best for sure...........neff said

  • How can you spell Georgia wrong in the title? What? But love you two!

  • ruined 

  • This music is beautiful too, the great master Charles was this divine

    composition!

    And she was incredibly played by Alice and by Jamie!

    I loved it!

  • Ray Charles Jr. and Beauty Alicia

    Amazing...

  • this is such masturbation, they should go to prison cause of this

  • Jamie Foxx is a very good musician. I just wish he'd do more ballads because that's where he shines.

  • holy crap....they did a hell of a good job making that song their own. Im impressed

  • Ray would have been proud of you all! As a Georgian I am proud. Thanks Alicia and Jamie! ;)

  • jamie foxx is the most completely talented individual hollywoods ever seen

  • Que porcaria de interpretação. Se estão com dor de barriga não deveriam cantar.

    It's the worst interpretation that i saw. Stop crying and sing!! Holy god it's horrible...

    Ray charles is sad and mad with this #@%@...

  • Its abit too dramatic. I like the original much much better

  • @snuffleschinway indeed, they overdid it

  • Good god. Have this on my playlist wherever I'm at. They did Ray proud.

  • the people accidently hit dislike comments on the other ray charles georgia vid. zzzzzz except says shit happens at the end

  • 108 people accidentally hit the dislike button.. its okay, stuff happenes..

  • thank you sooo much for putting this vid. i saw it once on tv and i've been looking for it for so long, its the best grammy perf. ever!

  • airmaildeal

    we don`t hate russian and russians. i have much frend in russian and in tbilissi (georgia).

    shame you!

  • goosebumps all over my body

  • Russians hate Georgia.

  • @airmaildeal You do realize he is talking about the state of Georgia in the United States right?

  • @JSpearman4 No I thought Ray Charles was singing this song to the Republic of Georgia. U must be smart American but, who stole your sense of humor? Russians?

  • nope

  • Oooo

  • Must have learned to spell in the Georgia public school system.

  • at 1:54 it went to another gear...Quincy Jones is the man

  • Gotta say, Jamie Foxx did an amazing job.

  • jaime killd it at 1.39

  • this is AMAZING ... BOOTH ...FANTASTIC !!!

  • This is great they sang it beautifully, it wasn' supposed to be exact copy of the original they changed the arrangement to make it a duet and pay tribute to a great musician Ray charles. It was unique.

  • Not very good at all. Alicia and Jamie did not do a good job at all. I am disappointed...Georgia was changed completely......keep it original guys! Simple is beautiful.....

  • I wanted to like this. Love them both, but it doesn't work . I bet Ray Charles would agree with me.

  • nothing compared to ray.

  • Oversung, but if you got it, why not flaunt it? Two incredible voices. And he can act too. Some people put us to shame. It's not fair!

  • AMAZING!!!!

  • alicia is soo awesome

  • @denizthebig Indeed. But you might wanna keep this comment. Cause this is something you might say to a bitch like Rihanna. Alicia Keys deserves respect... (Im not saying I wouldnt fuck her, cause I would like to)

  • Jamie foxx always full of surprises, Alicia has always been able to sing. I just wish they kept it more jazz than try to make it R&B but w/e's

  • Acho essa musica perfeita !!! #homenagemaogranderaycharles

  • gosh I really don't like Alicia Keys' voice...it sounds so pressured and stressed...

  • wow... ya I love this song

  • Jamie Foxx, sexy in the gun, sexy in the piano

  • i hope alicia never makes this face again 1:01

  • Jamie Fox as a great voice he can sing anything from country to pop not Alicia has a voice for gospell music thats my opinion

  • DAMN right all yall people stand up and clap because that was a tribute to a legend who wrote and could sing what is called MUSIC!!!

  • @steven2be2003 And these people sing like they are his children... Such a sweet song... Aaah makes me smile with joy that these people were willing to do a cover of an amazing song. And yes G4B13 RIP Ray. A bit over done when it's about "Oh sister" and "Oh brother" but over all that was INCREDIBLE! Definitly added to my playlist. Thank you so much for putting this up spunecker. I will have Georgia on my mind too (Whoever Ray was singing about) :')

  • WOWOWOWOWOWOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!

  • you must have been waiting for me to write that comment!

  • somebody doesn't know how to spell Georgia

  • Man! Jamie foxx and Alicia Keys blew that out of the water!

  • Sometimes, I forget how talented Jamie Foxx is..

  • Man...I miss Ray Charles and Jamie does a wonderful rendition of Ray Charles. Go ya'll.

  • daamn they both have madd talent but i din like their rendition

  • 96 people had their computers on mute

  • too many fireworks,,kinna got little boring...nothing like the best...LONG LIVE Ray Charles...

  • people hating...

    If you cant do better then shut the fuck up...

  • TOOO SICKK

  • Jamie foxx is Ah-mazing !

    AND,

    Alica Keys ....." speechless " She can SANG !

  • All of those who had something negative to say about their performance have straight lost all your good sense. It was a tribute and they did beyond greatness. Wasn't for yall anyway so your half of a cent opinion wasn't even half as important than it was worth.

  • jamie foxx did it well, but alicia keys made it a bitchy pop song

  • If i had jaime's voice.... Alicia keys would be having my babies

  • could of been better i am blaming it on being live.....

  • absolutely horrific. i clicked on this link thinking i would be blown away, i was sadly mistaken, truly truly awful. this song was never meant to be sang this way, belting out long pointless notes for no reason, where is the soul.

    I thought J Foxx would have known better considering he studied and played the man for a year.

    truly horrific rendition of a classic.

  • a bit too much there i think

  • They fucked the song anally...it wasnt sung in this way and wudnt be in any way either. RIP RAY CHARLES

  • another good version of "Georgia on my mind"

  • wooowww!! im speechless

  • First I say something about the 16 dislikes and how I need 16 bullets, then how old I am and how Justin Beiber is homosexual to get homophobic people to thumbs me up. And then 0:00-0:37 is the best. Of course, 95% of teens listen to the same autotune and if you do not repost this to 6 videos your mom will die next friday. Also thumbs up if you agree. Then there's a rare breed of comments that try to be funny by summarizing the content of common topics in comments. Just like this one.

  • damn keys hit a fucking manly not at 1:26

  • @Demari327 That'n not a manly note, that's an Eb3. She's a contralto, so she has a low tessitura or deep singing female voice.

  • Trying way too hard, she's going to hemorrhage something...this is just awful.

  • @marlee0411 dude this is called gospel singing,if u dont like it then listen to some heavy metal shit dats jus lame and boring.

  • @xxmoniquequintynexx I listen to all kinds of metal. but this is still an awesome video

  • Wow how many stupid people it is on this world

  • Jamie Foxx's roll in "Ray" was by far the best performance that could've been given for that movie. Alicia is a great vocalist as well, and I like that she doesn't rely on autotune and pitch correction like everyone else these days.

  • holy shit i had no idea jamie foxx sang as well!! i thought for the film ray they just had a daaamn good lip sync!

  • @HJBeans well every film is pretty much lip syncing anyway seeing as they never use the audio from the actual recording!

  • As lagrimas chegaram a descer aqui mano... Incrivel... pqp

  • Jamie could make it as a musician alone. I like it that he appreciates Ray, too.

  • I like Jamie Foxx, but he's as much Ray Charles as an Elvis impersonator is Elvis.

  • No doubt at all that Jamie Foxx is a talented guy, but songs like this show the incredible voice of Alicia Keys, which is sadly not noticed in many of her songs. Sadly, this song comes across as two major artists tinkering with something that should have been left alone!

  • she looks indian here? :p

  • completely butchered it...

    alicia cannot sing period, its sad.

  • @Archafka Yes she can sing, she has a raspy beautiful voice.

  • Wow, don't get me wrong, I love Jamie and I love Alicia and I LOVE this song.... but am I the only one that thinks they completely butchered it? That was horrible on so many levels I cannot even name them all.

  • @PerversePoster I TOTALLY AGREE

  • Ray charles!!

  • I did not like this...there is soul...then there is forcing it...
