+Tony Nguyen no one's playing victim; that's not what I see. I see her saying what really doesn't even need to be a conversation in 2016. Treat Others Right
+Tony Nguyen so because she's half white means she wouldn't be a victim? ? biracial people deal with their fair share of racism and always have. and even if alicia keys herself hasn't dealt with racism or gender inequality . which I would say is unlikely despite her being half black, it doesn't make her less qualified to speak on about it....
She's what the industry needs! So true to herself and has such a beautiful spirit. This gave me chills watching. Btw! I can't wait to hear the rest of that song Holy War!! 🙌🏾
Alicia Key is the kind of artist that always delivers a powerful message. Not to mention she is right in this time of age we need to remember the words and lesson of Dr King now more then ever. We need to start treating each other as equal instead of becoming divided as a nation #VMAs #IHAVEADREAM #BlackLivesMatter
totally disagree, Kanye is all about inspiring the youth today his speech was about stepping outside your comfort zone and breaking boundaries. take it how you want, Kanye is pure genius.
People this speech is about equality. We all need to accept each other for who we are no matter how we look, where we come from or what our race is. Everybody needs to be more genuine and stop labeling and judging other people.
i honestly only came here just to hear joanne screaming "iCONIC!!!!" but i stayed because this speech was just too beautiful and meaningful what an amazing woman, you go miss alicia keys also i want to point out the fact that she's 35 years old and looking like shes in her 20s, icONIC
I love her. she is so philosophical and honest in her truth. She draws on life and the meaning of love is all aspects. True to self a gifted and meaningful soul and person
+CurlyVibes I remember her in the trl days and the bumps shined through the make up. it didn't stop ppl from thinking she looked good but she did have " bad" skin.
Definitely not trying to hate, but Alicia had horrible skin - acne, etc in the days of "Fallin" and "If I Ain't Got You" and recently said she would never been seen without makeup. She said now she had lots of skin treatments and pricey skincare products so she feels comfortable going bare. A lot of clueless guys here... makes it bad for girls that NATURALLY have great skin and can model without blowing up a budget. Guys don't know what's natural lol
Well...... She needs singing lessons. Her voice is mediocre at best.. And when did some one make her queen of black people? Shut up Alicia. They should've had Erykah Badu speak. Not someone trying to PROVE she's black. You're HALF black, bitch.
she's just .....Alicia is evolving one more ,she's on a movement ,her soul is just she's REAL ,AS REAL CAN GET ,she's such an old soul just lingering in such a beautiful way in time ....this what the world needs ,this KIND of honesty ,she's sees the big picture,It takes great eyes to see it ,she can save humanity . I can't love her anymore than I do. Brings me to tears.
in my opinion is Alicia way more iconic than "queen B"....definitely more authentic and miles closer to ordinary people...feminist that doesn´t need to show everything to actually encourage women
Nice one Alicia Keys that poem would make the greatest song ever, its needed in todays society something deep, soulful, impacting, important, insightful and a message to influence a safer more peaceful world its the most powerful rememberable thing i can think of since two pacs words or Martin Luther Kings speech even maybe, so deep and so heartful i believe you meant it, good for you god bless.
Lol he said nothing that implied he was a trump supporter. Since when is denouncing the idea of an entertainer being president equate to supporting trump. Stop being dumb. The reason Trump is in the position he is in today is because people speak and type before they read and listen. Be smarter. Stop assuming. Follow Alicia Keys words and spread love not hate.

Thank you my sister .... I felt your message from the top of my head to the bottom of my feet .. please people listen to her with your heart ..... this is the only way this world can heal from all the hatred and war ....
I'm a fan of Adele, but Alicia Keys is way bigger than Adele any day in terms of career, musicianship, cultural impact, influence on other artists, songwriting, impact on RnB genre...i could keep going...
She spoke for Women and Men at the end of her speech,I love this woman and her music.Its just so beautiful,"the idea"of her not putting on makeup..I love it !! I always wondered if there would ever be a woman who just wouldnt care of her flaws and insecuritys and show her true natural beauty.
exactly .This is how we all feel but someone has just been afraid to say something .It took AlOT of her to do this in front of all the world ,but I am not surprised this what she's all about , this is why she's loved.
Now that's the way to do it...Introduce the power & poetry of a Brand new song & movement thru the art of spoken words & Acapella vocals...& call it an anthem & a Speech ! Love This so much... Give AK the woman of the year Award....Please. 💛
Alicia is like the only one with no makeup on her face. She so freaking elegant its crazy. All of yall been sleep in Alicia lately, but shes like one of the only artist people actually would have a excellent reason to idolize her.
Alicia keys you are so inspiring and that speech as true meaning and Martin Luther king jr. Showed up and faith for us and u did to thank u for being so hopeful and giving us a message most people needed
She should run for president 2020 she is a true artist and is so inspirational and she will always stay the same like seriously does she even age she is gorgeous
i honestly dont like what she wore, but her message made me forget everything but her voice and that beautiful spirit. YOU GO GIRL!!!! your message was so heartfelt and wonderful
Alicia keys needs to run for president, she will teach us how to love and note hate. My mom would play her songs when i was growing up. And I'm the only 14 year old at my schoold who listens to her. True goddes
It's been said so many times she should just be the great entertainer that she is and stop talking once and for all, HOWEVER she is the real dea!l She processes all of her emotions and thoughts not only through her music but addressing subjects head on that are not always comfortable to talk about. Keys will have a longlasting wonderful lifetime career.
jesus she's so naturally beautiful it's crazy
+hisalut hola yeaah😍😍😍
yes
ikr
yes god
Aswell as margot robbie
Alicia is life goals. Smart,sexy, and has a genuine soul
💯💯💯
+Tony Nguyen no one's playing victim; that's not what I see. I see her saying what really doesn't even need to be a conversation in 2016.
Treat Others Right
+Tony Nguyen you don't need to be the victim to care about those who are
Yes!
+Tony Nguyen so because she's half white means she wouldn't be a victim? ? biracial people deal with their fair share of racism and always have. and even if alicia keys herself hasn't dealt with racism or gender inequality . which I would say is unlikely despite her being half black, it doesn't make her less qualified to speak on about it....

Yo i agree with u . im so proud of her
Indeed. I wish they were all like her !!
exactly like any other artist.
LOL You dont even know what you need, let alone anyone else. This is too funny.
+Eurostar 07 Do you know him/her personally? So how do you know that they can't figure out what they want!
Alicia Key is the kind of artist that always delivers a powerful message. Not to mention she is right in this time of age we need to remember the words and lesson of Dr King now more then ever. We need to start treating each other as equal instead of becoming divided as a nation #VMAs #IHAVEADREAM #BlackLivesMatter
Yes!
exactly !!!
Very well said.
She's so natural
She truly is an incredible artist
She came up and served a meal none of us were ready for. Too bad no ones gonna actually talk about it
LETS TALK ABOUT IT SPREAD THE WORD WHATS STOPPING YOU?
Right this message flew pass these fools head, they are too busy focusing on how she looks!
we have to keep this going. sent out over all social networks.
YES
Lmao. She taught us a lesson and sounded great doing it.
Alicia Keys showed Kanye how to really be an inspiring, coherent, positively influential, and beautiful artist...
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
totally disagree, Kanye is all about inspiring the youth today his speech was about stepping outside your comfort zone and breaking boundaries. take it how you want, Kanye is pure genius.
She gave a speech worth so much , Kanye couldn't even complete one damn sentence !
yes! sometimes some people don't deserve to be famous bc of that same thing. Alicia Keys is the queen of all music in my opinion.
honestly i dont understand why people praise kanye so much after that pointless speech 😂
Alicia Keys for President!!!
I insist!👍
But for real.
#imwithher #ImWithAlicia 😉
possible
Like she actually needs to run for president. She will lead us to the direction of love not hate
People this speech is about equality. We all need to accept each other for who we are no matter how we look, where we come from or what our race is. Everybody needs to be more genuine and stop labeling and judging other people.
Got that right!
+Sophia N Ikr,your so boring
+Tionna Thomas ahaha exactly.
+Super Kawaii black lives matter, and I'm not black.
YAAAASSS!!!! Thank you Aeon, aren't you absolutely right..Love your comment sweetie!!!
This was so needed - what a great way to incorporate art, poetry and expression.
Yes!

Neither do I.
I love her. she is so philosophical and honest in her truth. She draws on life and the meaning of love is all aspects. True to self a gifted and meaningful soul and person

Not sure if it was Joanne or Lohanthony.

How you gonna look so naturally beautiful like that?

+joli minou she's always had good skin.
+CurlyVibes I remember her in the trl days and the bumps shined through the make up. it didn't stop ppl from thinking she looked good but she did have " bad" skin.

A lot of clueless guys here... makes it bad for girls that NATURALLY have great skin and can model without blowing up a budget. Guys don't know what's natural lol

Kyla Mahoney 1:15
I was so into this and then I heard Joanna and started dying
It was. She posted something about it on her Instagram a few days ago
ICONIC
best performance of the night. everyone else needs laser beams, fog machines, 50 dancers, and leotards. This woman does not!!
Yep, and can we just talk about her natural beauty. No make up, no crazy hair, no tits and ass showing...A truly beautiful woman.
👏👏👏
Well...... She needs singing lessons. Her voice is mediocre at best.. And when did some one make her queen of black people? Shut up Alicia. They should've had Erykah Badu speak. Not someone trying to PROVE she's black. You're HALF black, bitch.
+LM Jones Racism lives in you
+Mysterious Girl clearly you need to learn the difference between screaming and singing
Incredible woman, so glad we have women like her in the industry. Look up to her more than ever now!
2:17 Jaden Smith was about to cry! I always thought of him as uncaring because he hardly ever show emotion but this proved me wrong.
😹😹😹
Jaden always mindblown by (usually faux) deep shit tho.
No he wasnt lol. He was just blinking.

Sarah fucking snyder

One word: POWERFUL!
Thank you for that Alicia.. Raw talent 😘👌🏽🔥
This woman is so pure and genuine.
in my opinion is Alicia way more iconic than "queen B"....definitely more authentic and miles closer to ordinary people...feminist that doesn´t need to show everything to actually encourage women
M. H Bitter. Jealous. Sit down..
Rakim8 shut up she said in her opinion why you beyonce fans thinks beyonce is the best like she really isn't there are artists better then her

That speech was amazing! So was the singing part! it's so inspiring
Nice one Alicia Keys that poem would make the greatest song ever, its needed in todays society something deep, soulful, impacting, important, insightful and a message to influence a safer more peaceful world its the most powerful rememberable thing i can think of since two pacs words or Martin Luther Kings speech even maybe, so deep and so heartful i believe you meant it, good for you god bless.

Ola Hoglund so youd rather kanye for pres? you sound like a trump supporter.
Lol he said nothing that implied he was a trump supporter. Since when is denouncing the idea of an entertainer being president equate to supporting trump. Stop being dumb. The reason Trump is in the position he is in today is because people speak and type before they read and listen. Be smarter. Stop assuming. Follow Alicia Keys words and spread love not hate.
Alicia Keys is #TeamHillary. She even performed at this year's DNC convention 😙
This is how women should use their platform. Such finesse, power, grace. Everything was deliberate about this. LOVE YOU MS. KEYS
Much love and respect to this talented , intelligent and beautiful woman. Alicia just demonstrated how beautiful black women are naturally. I co-sign.
this woman is so beautiful, beautiful smile too
JOANNE THE SCAMMER YOU ARE ICONIC
how can she be this beautiful
women take note. fucking contours these days could even make a man look pretty. alicia is a class act.
Definitely not trying to hate, but Alicia had horrible skin - acne, etc in the days of "Fallin" and "If I Ain't Got You" and recently said she would never been seen without makeup. She said now she had lots of skin treatments and pricey skincare products so she feels comfortable going bare.
A lot of clueless guys here... makes it bad for girls that NATURALLY have great skin and can model without blowing up a budget. Guys don't know what's natural lol
Thank you my sister .... I felt your message from the top of my head to the bottom of my feet .. please people listen to her with your heart ..... this is the only way this world can heal from all the hatred and war ....
