I can't stand people who still are able to compare the amazing voices behind this masterpiece. Clearly, they have different voices and styles and both compliment each other. So what's the point of the comparison? In addition, both ladies would fight you when it comes to pitting two of the most talented and most beautiful souls this world has ever seen.
Please don't over do it..those ladies are in the trend,mainstream.. no more .Don't call "masterpiece " what's quiet common rendition...no natural talent there ..it's so obvious...the " church " is empty..no soul just make believe..show off ,ego,no no humility..no sir don't speak of masterpiece...
@@jean-claudeledanois1247 Instead of attacking everyone else's views with your replies... why not instead leave your own comment, state your own views, and let everyone else have a crack at your opinion? Just a thought...
This days people need " belting" to "melt" and feel some emotion...that clearly means the lack of true talent of those so call"singers"..it will be more appropriate to call them "Performers who can sing "but certainly not "Singers" with a big "S"!
..words mean something..so don't over use them..masterpiece here,of course not..common rendition when everything comes as expected..no creativity, no musical intelligence..just one more product...if you want true masterpiece you should look ,are should I say ,listen, to little miss Angelina Jordan.
I just listened to Angelina Jordan. She's good. Maybe you've listened to renditions of this song so many times you've forgotten how Nina sang it. The creativity in Alicia and kelly's version is subtle. A song does not have to be sung completely differently to show the creativity in there. You could end up changing what people liked in the song in the first place. Like the 'breeessssseze' sang by Alicia, I actually felt the breeze in her voice, even more than Nina. Plus the vocals from Alicia and Kelly are sooo much richer than Angelina's. I'm no connoisseur of music, but i felt this. Well I think at the end of the day,music is in the ear of the listener!
@@tibuigerard1564 I suggest that you listen more from to that young lady..and you will see that the richness of her voice makes her absolutely unic even in the history of music...so they say..and there I am talking of professionals musicians, vocals teachers..up to Quincy Jones who said, quote: " The greatest talent since Michael Jackson "...and of course I share this point of view. Those ladies sing well of course but no surprise there..voice as so many ,creativity ..Hmm a bit short I am afraid. Those are "performers who sing" but no "Singers" with a big "S"..this ask far more that what they can produce.
@@tibuigerard1564 Not at all I haven't forgotten Nina's rendition,and for sure those two ladies are way over many singers of today specialy in what people call " mainstream ".
Alicia should stay in this comfortable range of hers rather than trying to go higher because I love this so much. She gets shouty whenever she's trying to go higher than her comfortable range. In this song she showcased good midbelts and I love it.
I first listened to just audio and let me tell you, kelly has rasp too. There are parts I swore were alicia but was actually kelly and vice versa. Truth is they smashed this cover as a duet.
Birds flying high You know how I feel Sun in the sky You know how I feel Breeze driftin' on by You know how I feel It's a new dawn It's a new day It's a new life For me And I'm feeling good Stars when you shine You know how I feel Scent of the pine You know how I feel Oh freedom is mine And I know how I feel It's a new dawn It's a new day It's a new life It's a new dawn It's a new day It's a new life It's a new life For me And I'm feeling good I'm feeling good
This song!!! Ahhh... super!!! Kelly ur voice is like a fire - so much power n Alicia ur voice is smooth and wavy like water - so good ur duet... i can watch this over again n it still gives me goosies!!
Both of these artist are amazing. Alicia brought raspyness to the song, and Kelly made it smooth. With the high note at the end we all know kelly would have destroyed it but she stepped back and just admired Alicia Keys voice in pure appreciation for her own level of artistry. We need to stop comparing artist and start encouraging them, especially for woman when it seems they must constantly reference sexual innuendos for sales in their music when they have so much more depth to them.
i don't like that version alicia keys did but to be honest Kelly has something special in that voice, those lovely runs and the control of her voice are amazing. I think Kelly was better
I love our generation's line-ups, but seriously tho, before anyone forgot, Ari, Demi or Camilla & the rest ain't nothing to be compared to these 2 ladies vocal artistry.
