I loved the fact that she made this about God and wanting to make it in Heaven. A lot of people are crying out and looking for God and songs like this that sends a hopeful message will really help people to see that truly living for God is amazing and that mercy and grace is for everyone😄 you go Alicia! Love it!
Did you see the video for "In Common"...I'm with Amber O...I wouldn't assume it has anything to do with God as we think just because she's saying hallelujah and talking about sin...just speaking from a place of discernment
+Not2008Me Well that's your opinion and maybe I need to listen or actually read the words to the song but I'm just going off on what it sounded like to me...I respect your opinion though and to answer your question, no I haven't heard the 'In Common' song
OH MY GOD! I'm addicted to this song, I don't even know how many times I've watched this video. It's deep, powerful, she put all her soul in this. I really can't wait for he album to drop, my expectations now are higher than ever!
it has to be an original written for the movie....but now I'm thinking it doesn't have to be...although it means she won't be nominated for an Oscar which is unfortunate because this is a winning song
She totally put her soul into this performance/song. I like In Common for the groove, but the emotion, as well as the groove makes me love this song even more. Her vocals were on point too! Can't wait for her album!
Lyrics : There's a hole in my heart I've been hiding I've been strong for so long That I'm blind Is there a place I can go where the lonely river flows Where fear ends and faith begins Hallelujah, hallelujah, let me in I've been praying But I'm paying for my sins Won't you give me a sign If I lose my mind Woah, hallelujah, let me in Every step makes me think That I'm closer But somehow I just never arrive When our hope disappears Please protect me from my fears I need you right by my side Hallelujah, hallelujah, let me in I've been praying But I'm paying for my sins Won't you give me a sign If I lose my mind Woah, hallelujah, let me in Woah, woah, hallelujah Woah, woah, hallelujah All the places I've been Please forgive me for my sins Woah, hallelujah, let me in Woah, woah, let me in Woah, woah, let me in Woah, woah Please forgive me for my sins Woah, hallelujah, let me in
@1:03 look at the emotion in her eyes. Her voice is literally a release platform, such a beautiful individual. Her authentic voice and look also display what she's all about and that is 100% beauty and love.
Never has she let me down! Her music speaks to my soul and my heart. She gets all my emotions and nerves running. I will always be an AK fan. Love her transitions and watching her grown.
What's so special about Alicia is that she conveys deep emotions through music. This song, describes how much a person can be lost, seeking for God's help. Touches me ... Slay... SING ALICIA! SING!
This song is her heart, amazingly awesome. The way she sings it is very powerful and beautiful. This is the song of OUR times, her best work ever. Just listen to the words, what she is truly saying..... John 3:16 &17
This song is the epitome of where I am in life. Thank you DADDY for using Alicia Keyes to sing what my heart and being is experiencing. ALL things are in Divine order. Grace & Mercy still in full affect. ♡
Most people probably hear a beautiful song, song by a beautiful artist with a lovely voice. I hear someone hurting and crying out to God for forgiveness and help. I totally understand all too well. God is the only way. God touch Alicia Keys soul. Fill her with your holy Spirit. Heal her mind, body, and soul. Give her ears to hear, eyes to see, and a heart to do your will. Thank you father God. Heal her, in Jesus name! Amen
Hallelujah... this is classic in making... when i look back over the years from now i will be like.. "man this was my time of music when most artists have lost that it... love always. thank you AK always, you did it, you found it, as you always have done.
The honesty in this song and performance is what has been missing in the mainstream music industry. So beautifully pure. I'm definitely buying this album.
This performance is stunning given recent revelations or even gossip of her walk on the dark side. She confesses this in the song. Being that she is a true artist, this is not a random song for her. She seemed to literally pour her heart into this song/performance begging, yelling, screaming to be "let in"... Maybe it's just me, but she has a strange look in her eye in her print work and live appearances to me lately. Still so beautiful and gifted. I can't describe it. If this ain't "Soul" music, I don't know what is!
+Dartchy I'm just intrigued over all the satanic symbolism she uses and hopes it's not so...this song Hallelujah seems to speak to it...in my mind anyway.
Yes, in your mind.. I'm sick of all these stupid celebrity devil worshiping conspiracies. Alicia is the legitimately the last person you could accuse of such. What kind of 'satanic symbolism' are you talking about?
tanto ésta como In common son 10/10 maravillosas magnificas espectaculares. tan diferentes pero tan geniales. Cant wait for the new album!!!!! saludos desde España.
this is what WE need bring it in alicia keys YESSSS!!! 😍😍😍 and no make up still flawless good music with a substantial message. But i can always count on her to be the unapologetic women she is and thats what we need to see more of 👍👌
Man this album had no nomitation from any awards, like the music industry literally forgot about this album in 2016. What a shame, this album its a masterpiece
Agree! The other tracks are so artistically made. The Gospel and She Don't Really Care are just some of the songs I really like to listen to repeatedly.
definitely, Alicia has shown how an artist should be. I don't like to compare any kind of musician, but Alicia has something that's different. I remember from the first album I heard of her. And I thought how talent has this girl. And she keeps on showing the talent with love for the music, because in the end, that's what really matter.
I can't, what what just happened!? That was FLAWLESS!!!! And she's wearing minimal/no make-up and still looks like a GODDESS. I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS WOMAN
Although SNL usually puts the 'best' or the 'hit' song first (both for domestic ratings reasons and to keep the "ladies & gentlemen etc" instead of the "once again.." on future 1-hour edits of the show) , this time it was the second performance which led us all breathless! Wow, it was amazing!!! The "Hallelujah" song gave me goosebumps!! Great, strong, awesomely beautiful (as well as herself)!..
This song makes me more in love with music. And this makes me want to peruse music as a dream that I wish could become reality.....hallelujah! Music for me = love!!!
Damn Alicia! This may be probably some of the best music you've returned to us with! I see a spectacular album and more Grammys in your future! Much Love and can't wait for the music videos!
Oh my God, her Voice! Gotta say makeup looks AMAZING on her skin, 'cause of her skin color.. but i kinda like this natural look too... I'm amazed by the fact she has not eye bags!
Her voice is pure perfection.
+Alain Bruno Alicia is a good singer
+Alain Bruno I agree
+Alain Bruno you have bad taste my friend
Dude, you have awesome taste in music. I always see your comments on the best songs 😅
samuraiboy22 so do you
I like this whole natural looking vibe she got going on.😘
agreed
yep
you're beautiful can we had a private talk?
Damn. I forgot how much I needed Alicia Keys music in my life.
Keith Michael ; HALLELUJAH 2 that KM! AbSOULutely🎹
I really hope my neighbors love this sing :)))
+mikke bestforeva *song
hahahahah Like. I hope my neighbours too.
😂😂...omg I was literally just thinking that...crazy
AMAZING COMMENT.
same! hahaha, love this comment
Her voice has matured so much since the last I heard her sing. It's gotten more umph and weight in it. I like it.
True
yup
Its soul darling.
Kereem Clarke honey she had soul before this.
Manifesting Moni Its deeper soul, the type that comes with life experience. God bless her.
If we go by In common and Hallelujah, her new album will be FIRE! Can't wait
Yaaaaaasaaassssssssssssss!!! 😫😭😭
+Dartchy YAAASSSSSSSSSSSSS TOO!!! 😍
OMG yesssss!
True
Yessss
I have a feeling her new album will be my all time favourite.
💓
this is the 10 time i came to watch it....its addict
+Calvin Stanley. i keep coming back to this song.can't wait any longer for this album to drop 😊
***** its a cocaine music
Leonel Torres i have a feeling there is Grammy for this
She reinvented herself, I'm definitely looking forward to this new album.
She sounded amazing! She's such a great artist and her music always has substance. No songs about booty popping. She's so real! I love her!
I see you on almost every Alicia video I watch! Haha. 😊 yes she sounded soooo good. Can't wait for this new album.
Agree
I loved the fact that she made this about God and wanting to make it in Heaven. A lot of people are crying out and looking for God and songs like this that sends a hopeful message will really help people to see that truly living for God is amazing and that mercy and grace is for everyone😄 you go Alicia! Love it!
😌😌😌😌🙏👑😇
I wouldn't assume she's praying to God or about heaven. These Hollywood folks are ... different.
Did you see the video for "In Common"...I'm with Amber O...I wouldn't assume it has anything to do with God as we think just because she's saying hallelujah and talking about sin...just speaking from a place of discernment
exactly
+Not2008Me Well that's your opinion and maybe I need to listen or actually read the words to the song but I'm just going off on what it sounded like to me...I respect your opinion though and to answer your question, no I haven't heard the 'In Common' song
OH MY GOD! I'm addicted to this song, I don't even know how many times I've watched this video. It's deep, powerful, she put all her soul in this. I really can't wait for he album to drop, my expectations now are higher than ever!
This literally gave me chills.
I missed her voice so much! So excited to hear her new songs!
this would be the opening song to a black James bond movie
+Terry Rogers. i know right? 😊
it has to be an original written for the movie....but now I'm thinking it doesn't have to be...although it means she won't be nominated for an Oscar which is unfortunate because this is a winning song
this is too good for a James Bond movie
Such a strong and relatable song. I'm Muslim and I can relate so much to this.
Loved the song! She's not wearing any makeup and she looks so beautiful
Right!
+NYCzora yes she's wearing.
+akdlag jhtr then that's a bad makeup job lol
+Kandi Doyle The most natural look is the hardest to achieve.
+Isaac Magaña You right. I actually don't. Her face looks just like mines everyday is why I was saying that.
Oh man what a TUNE. Can't wait for the new album.
On God I love this woman with all my heart & soul.
This song is true classic gem. Shes amazing....no words👌🏼❤👸🏾
The backup singer is feeling it. I love that..
Her music just hits the soul...damn. So happy she's back.
The ending was so powerful, just looking at the truth in her face almost brought me to tears.
She totally put her soul into this performance/song. I like In Common for the groove, but the emotion, as well as the groove makes me love this song even more. Her vocals were on point too! Can't wait for her album!
I LOVE her without makeup. So beautiful with or without it
Lyrics :
There's a hole in my heart
I've been hiding
I've been strong for so long
That I'm blind
Is there a place
I can go where the lonely river flows
Where fear ends and faith begins
Hallelujah, hallelujah, let me in
I've been praying
But I'm paying for my sins
Won't you give me a sign
If I lose my mind
Woah, hallelujah, let me in
Every step makes me think
That I'm closer
But somehow
I just never arrive
When our hope disappears
Please protect me from my fears
I need you right by my side
Hallelujah, hallelujah, let me in
I've been praying
But I'm paying for my sins
Won't you give me a sign
If I lose my mind
Woah, hallelujah, let me in
Woah, woah, hallelujah
Woah, woah, hallelujah
All the places I've been
Please forgive me for my sins
Woah, hallelujah, let me in
Woah, woah, let me in
Woah, woah, let me in
Woah, woah
Please forgive me for my sins
Woah, hallelujah, let me in
@1:03 look at the emotion in her eyes. Her voice is literally a release platform, such a beautiful individual. Her authentic voice and look also display what she's all about and that is 100% beauty and love.
Pure natural woman you are so contagious I swear you make everyone proud you've never change from the beginning that's what makes you Alicia Keys!
Welcome back queen. What a talent and soul, I was missing that. And the natural look is perfect...not many female artists can pull that off.
Never has she let me down! Her music speaks to my soul and my heart. She gets all my emotions and nerves running. I will always be an AK fan. Love her transitions and watching her grown.
+Jennifer Caloca Her last album suck this one sounds better
I loved her last album.
I'm sure this one is great too.
her style is so on point
That voice has gotten much much better!!! Reminds me when she first came out!
I see her time off has helped her voice improve. I was worried about her for a while. I'm glad she's kicking ass again!
Yes! Her voice has come back now. It doesn't sound so thin anymore. She recently performed if I ain't got you on a VH1 special and it sounded perfect.
Agree
what happened anyway did she get surgery or something cuz I remember when her voice was dying people thought her career was over
thats what I just said lol she needed the hiatus
I thought I was the only one noticed the improved vocal quality
At the end I cried. ...let me in. Beautiful song. I will be covering this one!!!
Timeless, soul, real, quality, message, class, talent. Simply great.
Yo can we just talk about how she is rocking the no makeup look, she's so beautiful. I'm sooo pumped for this new album, y'all have no idea.
What's so special about Alicia is that she conveys deep emotions through music. This song, describes how much a person can be lost, seeking for God's help. Touches me ... Slay... SING ALICIA! SING!
Ageless and timeless! Alicia is a very beautiful Old Soul. Never get tired of this song!
I remember this hook!!! It was in the very end of her last album! it's all connected! Can't wait for her new album
I was gonna say!!!! Lol I thought this sounded familiar
what song ?
101 in girl on fire. At the very end of that song she starts singing Hallelujah
what's the name of the new album?
HERE out november 4.
This song is her heart, amazingly awesome. The way she sings it is very powerful and beautiful. This is the song of OUR times, her best work ever. Just listen to the words, what she is truly saying..... John 3:16 &17
I like this song more than "In Common". Can't wait for the new album!
Me too
Wait hold up. She is seriously rocking the no makeup look. So naturally beautiful and talented ! ❤❤❤
+Shaniece Williams apparently, for now
she may be goin along with the theme of whatever new album she's bout to release
Great Vocalist of all time... Real soul food here from this brilliant artiste....
Can't explain the remarkable feeling this just gave me. She is just beyond flawless. A true musician. Lyrical Genius. I am stunned.
OMG... this track is incredible!!! I hope it's on the new album!
This song is the epitome of where I am in life. Thank you DADDY for using Alicia Keyes to sing what my heart and being is experiencing. ALL things are in Divine order. Grace & Mercy still in full affect. ♡
Most people probably hear a beautiful song, song by a beautiful artist with a lovely voice. I hear someone hurting and crying out to God for forgiveness and help. I totally understand all too well. God is the only way. God touch Alicia Keys soul. Fill her with your holy Spirit. Heal her mind, body, and soul. Give her ears to hear, eyes to see, and a heart to do your will. Thank you father God. Heal her, in Jesus name! Amen
Hallelujah... this is classic in making... when i look back over the years from now i will be like.. "man this was my time of music when most artists have lost that it... love always. thank you AK always, you did it, you found it, as you always have done.
yesss!! she's found out who she is, absolutely beautiful and AMAZING.
How nice to see that beautiful smile again...a Brazilian fan!!!!
She looks amazing here. Her voice is incredible!
The honesty in this song and performance is what has been missing in the mainstream music industry. So beautifully pure. I'm definitely buying this album.
Her voice is amazing!!
This is perfect. The album is gonna be special
she's going all natural & her voice is so raw & beautiful my heart can take it 😭❤
Pure soul❤️
Oh my... and to think I almost didn't click on this link. She's so talented. I love this!
I hear your message sister. Let the good Lord guide you. You are an inspiration.
I absolutely adore this woman!! 2012 since her last album...I cannot wait for her new project!

PHENOMENAL SONG, APPEARANCE, PERFORMANCE EVERYTHING JUST WOW

That album I must have. She've been gone way to long. So happy that she's back.
I think she will go down in history as one of the great talents.

No doubt!!
+Calvin Stanley Only one?

Fabio Priore she perfomed two songs at SNL...and they both made my night...ain't that the sign that the album is hot too??
***** yeah this year got good music...makes it hard to decide btn lemonade,25,Purpose, Anti(tho i don't like it)..., 6 views...
Welcome back Alicia. We all missed you.
Awaiting that album!!
This is absolutely the best come back for her
This performance is stunning given recent revelations or even gossip of her walk on the dark side. She confesses this in the song. Being that she is a true artist, this is not a random song for her. She seemed to literally pour her heart into this song/performance begging, yelling, screaming to be "let in"...

If this ain't "Soul" music, I don't know what is!
Yea it's definitely soul, this song is incredible. No one is singing deeps stuff like this, I don't think the pop charts can handle this type of music
What recent revelations or "gossip of her walk on the dark side" are you talking about?
she has on no make up n still looks so beautiful since lately she's not wearing any make up but I love this song
+Dartchy I'm just intrigued over all the satanic symbolism she uses and hopes it's not so...this song Hallelujah seems to speak to it...in my mind anyway.
Yes, in your mind.. I'm sick of all these stupid celebrity devil worshiping conspiracies. Alicia is the legitimately the last person you could accuse of such. What kind of 'satanic symbolism' are you talking about?
chills.. one of the most beautiful live performances ive come across
This is real music, yeah !
Thanx for having you back, Alicia !!!
Holy molly. Her voice gives me joys. Such an amazing voice!
Love the new songs. Waiting for the album. She's beautiful without make up. Love you Alicia
this is good . I love it. she is moving in the right turn once again.
She Killed it. Hands down, no questions. Music you can feel. Love it.
