I remember the year it came out, I was in 9th grade this video was EVERYWHERE, the song playing on every radio station all the time. Not surprised it charted so long.
Her song “ Like you’ll never see me again” is beautiful. She stated in an interview that she was extremely close to her grandmother and was thinking of her when she wrote it.
The guy is actor Chad Michael Murray who had his starring role in one tree hill, house of wax and freaky Friday with Lindsey Lohan and Jamie Lee curtis
This song & video makes me cry every time. It reminds me of what my grandparents had to go through being in an interracial marriage in the '60s in the south. And how brave they were to do the "Unthinkable". ❤️
@@dragonflynoire9659 YES...I think through the years she finally made the choice and him too. He came for her and it was up to her in the end to leave with him. This is my favorite song from her. Granted it had a more Drake vibe so you can tell right away he wrote on it but I love it.
It's not a cliffhanger when you consider the lyrics, Jack. She's ready to make that move with him. Ditch that town and people who clearly aren't going to change. She's ready no matter what it looks like.
Alicia is biracial btw! Her mom is white and her dad is black! I don’t know if her parents inspired her to create this videos but this video does have a great message to it! She could have experienced things when she was younger maybe!
Hey Jack. This is one of my favorite songs of all time, and it's also one of my favorite videos. If you watch it again, you'll see that it actually flips through several decades, from the '50s in the beginning to the '60s in the store, then flips ahead to the '70s in the store, then goes from cassettes to CDs before ending up in current times. As someone who grew up in a small southern town in the '80s, I can tell you that interracial relationships were hugely controversial even then, let alone in the '50s, and I'm sure even now there are narrow-minded people who can't comprehend that love is love is love. One of the things I particularly love about the video is that Alicia shows both the black people who aren't comfortable with her love and the white people; love doesn't conquer all, and everyone has opinions on issues like this regardless of race, religion, etc. Me, I believed love was love from the beginning and I will believe it until the day I die. Yes, that is Drake supporting her on the song, and if this isn't Alicia's favorite of her works (I don't know, honestly), I can say that it is definitely my favorite of her music. :-)
I LIVEEE for your Alicia Keys reactions. I be rewatching all of them. I’m so happy you get to see her musical growth. She’s the best. Now please react to her song “Try Sleeping with a Broken Heart” THAT WILL BLOW YOUR MIND AWAY. My favorite song from her. 🥺🥺🙏🏽🙏🏽
Let it be known that I was the first to request this!!! About damn time sir. All jokes aside thanks Jack!!! Yes that’s Drake he co wrote & did the ad libs for the track. There’s also a remix with him!!
Another great reaction Jack 👍💯❤️Chad Michael Murray is fine I'd want him to play my love interest too if I was a actress shoot 😍😂😁 there both lucky Alisha is really gorgeous too 😍💕❤️ I fell in love with them when Alisha was in the secret life of bee's and with Chad Michael Murray when he was in one tree hill.
I see the video as the couple keeps finding each other in different lifetimes (through the decades) and each time Alicia has to choose if she will be with him or not. This is one of my favorite songs of hers. You should listen to her song “Try Sleeping with a Broken Heart” it’s also really great.
This is such a an amazing song and powerful video. My mum is East Indian and father is British/Russian and they went through issues like this. Touches my soul.
Wow an early upload for us here in Europe, thanks Jack!🌸love Alicia, she’s pure class..... when are we seeing Mary J Blige and George Michael ; come on Jack😁💕
Drake is a co writer on the song. It’s why you can hear him outlining her voice in the chorus. There’s an alternate/extended version of the song where he has a verse. It compliments the song really well. I wish they collaborated more.
Alicia was putting out bangers from each era (from Diary of Alicia Keyes to Elements Of Freedom) as well as the music video each had a great story behind them
A keys home girl put her foot 🦶 prints on this one even tho she’s an amazing incredible artist not entertainer but artist home girl can write produce and sing n play instruments big ups to drake for writing a classic
I listened to this album and didn't think anything about this song. Then I heard it on the radio one day while driving and thought, "This is special." Suggestion: "Sure Thing" -Miguel.
I agree with you! My BF is white and the issues we face is CRAZY. And my BF was raised by a black woman himself. It’s sad that people can’t love who they wanna love. I receive more hate from Blacks than Whites. Even my own family have dislike towards us being together :(
Basically what I got from this video is no matter what decade they were in , they still found each other. True soul mates. Also I think drake wrote this song , I believe.
Yup this came out when I was in a mixed relationship.... really gives me the feels I'm the white guy and still with a black girl.... always gets me going... Back in South Africa it sometimes is still frowned along.
Drake co wrote this song about Nicki. He had a really big crush on her back in the day. And when you think of the lyric “ if we did the unthinkable, would it make us look crazy” you can see how it correlates to them and how it would have been kinda scandalous😭
One of my favorites from Alicia 👍🏽❤😉 Jack, you Gotta do a reaction to TONI BRAXTON'S 1.) "Breathe Again" ❤🔥👌🏽 2.) "You mean the world to me" ❤ 3.) How could an angel break my heart" 👍🏽 4.) Long as I live 🔥👌🏽 *You would really enjoy those songs/videos from the Legendary Beautiful TONI BRAXTON for sure bro 💯👊🏽
Great Song 🤗🤗. This one always reminds me of another Great Song that has the same beat , CLOSER by GOAPELE. Please React to , UNBREAKABLE, LIVE UNPLUGGED 😁😁
This is her longest song to chart at No.1 on the R&B charts and it’s because it’s 🔥🔥🔥
I remember the year it came out, I was in 9th grade this video was EVERYWHERE, the song playing on every radio station all the time. Not surprised it charted so long.
Memories Used to Bump this On the way to Kindergarten
Chad Michael Murray is so fine, loved him since One Tree Hill😍
Yes ma'am!!!
Her song “ Like you’ll never see me again” is beautiful. She stated in an interview that she was extremely close to her grandmother and was thinking of her when she wrote it.
Tanya Wooten one of my faves.
The guy is actor Chad Michael Murray who had his starring role in one tree hill, house of wax and freaky Friday with Lindsey Lohan and Jamie Lee curtis
House of wax is one of my favorites
He is so fine. I love him so much. He will always be Lucas Scott to me.
He did like familiar
And a Cinderella story
@@cadyg2531 I had totally forgotten about that movie
She's in an entanglement with Chad Michael Murphy! 😁
lol not entanglement
Exactly 😂
😂😂
She’s lucky. He’s been one of my crushes for a very long time.
😂
There is a song called "Fire We Make" that Alicia Keys sings with Maxwell......FIRE!!!
YAS!!!!
This song & video makes me cry every time. It reminds me of what my grandparents had to go through being in an interracial marriage in the '60s in the south. And how brave they were to do the "Unthinkable". ❤️
Alicia Keyes-Like You’ll Never See Me Again, Diary, Try Sleeping With a Broken Heart
Jack was so distraught at the end😂
@@JackReacts904 Jack, the answer is in the song. "If you ask me I'm ready." Assume that she left with him.
@@dragonflynoire9659 YES...I think through the years she finally made the choice and him too. He came for her and it was up to her in the end to leave with him. This is my favorite song from her. Granted it had a more Drake vibe so you can tell right away he wrote on it but I love it.
It’s more like real life that way
It's not a cliffhanger when you consider the lyrics, Jack. She's ready to make that move with him. Ditch that town and people who clearly aren't going to change. She's ready no matter what it looks like.
Yeah....the song IS called "Unthinkable (I'm READY)"
good point!
But in the video she pulls her hand back
@@disneytoysr4fun975 She hesitated, that's all.
Alicia is biracial btw! Her mom is white and her dad is black! I don’t know if her parents inspired her to create this videos but this video does have a great message to it! She could have experienced things when she was younger maybe!
Great reaction. Jack you must do "Diary" ft Toni Tone Tony. It is fire
Exactly what I was gonna suggest! Diary is one of my favorites by her!
“Iiiiiii waaaantt teeelllll “🎶🎶🎶
It is a MUST!!!
Yesss!! Jack pls check diary out! You won’t be disappointed!!
That's Drake in the chorus...he co-wrote the song
Did not know that I low key gave Jack the side eye when he asked was that Drake lol 😆 😂 😅
Jack was right
@@bebeade71 lol ... he likely knew that in advance. ;) No offense, Jack. 😘 Strong research game.
The fact that I’ve been listening to his song for 10 years and and I just in the last couple weeks realized that was drake in the background
He actually wrote most of it
I swear, this is easily one of thE best rnb songs of this century. PERIODT.
Hey Jack. This is one of my favorite songs of all time, and it's also one of my favorite videos.

The man in the video is Chad Michael Murray
This video reflects different time zones "60"s 90s &early 2000s & present..
That’s crazy how I’ve been listening to this thinking it’s very underrated and it turns out this is her favorite song.
Jack, it's time - YOU DON'T KNOW MY NAME. One of Alicia's best songs ever. Definitely top 5 or even top 3.
Yes yes yes AGREED!
Yessssssss agreed
Koffee Brown “After Party”
Keysha Cole ft Missy and Lil Kim “Let it go”
Keysha Cole “ Sent from Heaven “
This video was based on the issues her parents faced when they were together. Her mother's white and her father is black.
I don’t think so
Her song called DIARY is amazing as well Jack ❤
This is definitely in my top 5 Alicia songs and Alicia has hits but this song hits on a different level.
“Try sleeping with a broken heart” and “No one” some of Alicia’s best
yeah she said on pandora that this (Unthinkable) was her favorite song
My favorite song from her! Drake wrote this one if I remember correctly...all the dang feels man! 🥰
Yes he did. Inspired by Nikki Minaj
Please react to Alicia Keys- Teenage Love Affair
I'm with you on that!!!
Yesss one of my favorites.

Drake's verse on the remix of this is one of his best verses and it's a crime that he wasn't in the video

Drake actually wrote this song
When this song released for the first time, I must have played this song a million times.
My favorite song from Alicia.

Drake and 40 produced this one, by the way,
Drake also wrote it
This was definitely one of my favorite songs from her!
This is my favorite Alicia Keys song of all time.

“Diary”- Alicia Keys is 🔥‼️
Drake is a co writer on the song. It’s why you can hear him outlining her voice in the chorus. There’s an alternate/extended version of the song where he has a verse. It compliments the song really well. I wish they collaborated more.
Alicia was putting out bangers from each era (from Diary of Alicia Keyes to Elements Of Freedom) as well as the music video each had a great story behind them
One of my favorites. Drake co wrote this!
I loved this song ...so beautiful
Drake with the most subtle background vocals. Adds a lot tho. So soulful!
Alicia is absolutely my favorite 🤩. Shes beautiful and amazingly talented. Even more beautiful without all the makeup. Anything bu her is a banger.
This video and song is the very definition of FORBIDDEN interracial love at it's finest throughout the decades.
OMG - FINALLY, ALICIA!!!! YAYYYY!!! THANK YOU😁😁
Please react to no one and you don't know my name by alicia keys
She look so fine when she says “you ready?” LIKE HELL YEA I AM 😂
The way you break down songs and videos chefs kiss
such a beautiful song!! love this
A keys home girl put her foot 🦶 prints on this one even tho she’s an amazing incredible artist not entertainer but artist home girl can write produce and sing n play instruments big ups to drake for writing a classic
Probably her best song tbh.
love is one hell of a drug!
Drake was on the background vocals. He co-wrote it. Also can you do Goapele's Closer"? Closer is one of my favorite songs ever!
One of my favorite Alicia songs. Also can you do Brandy's "What About Us" and and Floetry's "Getting Late"?
I listened to this album and didn't think anything about this song. Then I heard it on the radio one day while driving and thought, "This is special." Suggestion: "Sure Thing" -Miguel.
This video is a masterpiece.
And "Underdog". Again, very rich lyrics!!! (Alicia, I'm talking about).
Diary is my favorite song from Alicia but this is 2nd
Beautiful song.
I agree with you! My BF is white and the issues we face is CRAZY. And my BF was raised by a black woman himself. It’s sad that people can’t love who they wanna love. I receive more hate from Blacks than Whites. Even my own family have dislike towards us being together :(
Fun fact...40 produced this and drake/Alicia co wrote it; drake also dropped a remix verse to it...you should check our fireworks by Alicia and drake
Surprised to not see more ppl talking about Drake’s Pen on this 🔥❤️
Shout out to Lucas Scott! 😂
Basically what I got from this video is no matter what decade they were in , they still found each other. True soul mates. Also I think drake wrote this song , I believe.
Other Alicia Keys tracks : Troubles, Feelin u feelin me, Girlfriend, You don't know my name.
Thats def drake singing in the background lol.. u could also check out the remix to this song where he raps a verse in the beginning.
childhood memories from this song😫
The Music video made This song just beautiful. Chad😍
Can you react to Alicia Keys you don't know my name
Yup this came out when I was in a mixed relationship.... really gives me the feels I'm the white guy and still with a black girl.... always gets me going... Back in South Africa it sometimes is still frowned along.
React to Baby Cham featuring Alicia Keys- "Ghetto Story", & Alicia Keys- "Girlfriend"
Favorite song and video by her 😍😍😍
Drake co wrote this song about Nicki. He had a really big crush on her back in the day. And when you think of the lyric “ if we did the unthinkable, would it make us look crazy” you can see how it correlates to them and how it would have been kinda scandalous😭
