Alicia Keys Performs at A Celebration of Life for Kobe and Gianna Bryant 

Are you saying Kobe learned to play this on piano???

@@sonofprince4124 I doubted this so did a search and low and behold he did do it, if you type "Kobe Bryant plays Moonlight Sonata" into the RU-vid channel, it will come up. I can't put the direct link in, don't think it's allowed.

Yeah Kobe learned how to play this for Gianna and then Keys did it to honor how much Gigi meant to Kobe.

@@jayceec3178 Wow!

@@WiltedSalads Amazing! That some talent!

That part always makes me cry I can feel her pain thru the screen.

@Alissa And to have to deal with it all so publicly. She’s an incredibly brave woman! I hope all of the families impacted have been granted the serenity to accept what cannot be changed.

Yea when she bows her head 😔

"Amazing"??? Respect the work of the ingenious composer! The vulgarity that we see and hear here has no right to exist! This is shame, this is shame!

Do ur homework

@@funkutoo5305 here's some homework for you Translate this: Geh fik dich selbst

@@kirsche370 ach die schöne deutsche Sprache hahaha

She is 🔥

Stilez it’s actually pretty easy but moving nevertheless

@@adrianleiva13 was gonna say that

@@adrianleiva13 always one just couldn't let it be could you..smh

It is beginner level piano for any classical trained pianist.

This is not hard at all to play. But she played it beautifully.

Eunice Orellana same!!!! She was looking up at all the pictures of them two just balling. Literally painful to watch!!!!

Kobe was studying how to play this for her before he passed 😕

That had to be hard...

What were the gestures Alicia did at the end?

Uuugh...I can't! Tears me up 😭😭😭

I’m glad I wasn’t the only one that felt this way 😭😭😭😭😭💜💛🕊

💔💔💔💔

I just teared up watching this.

I NOW RIGHT

carlos Montenegro I think it’s the same people going from awesome video to video gettin their dislike on. Pray for them

Me either. Heartless people

Vel Boone ...And Kobe Kieran it then played it for Vanessa he was such a prize

I really would not say that... Alicia is far from being a musical talent

AJ Olawiweyo ...You’re so wrong Mr.

@@ajolawiweyo653 please put the crackpipe down

@@ajolawiweyo653 ok I've seen you in every comment saying literally the same thing so do you need help, you must be hurting to hate so much. someone with no talent can't just go out play (Imo) one of the best classical piano pieces.

But she's a witch

Jah as in xxx? Or what lmao better not mention xxtrntacion in the same light as kobe

There was no reference to xxx. And not all witches are bad !

Antonio Boyd beethoven a German moor??

Melanin*

Indeed. I'm so proud of her. Not even close to being an easy piece. ❤

It's actually one of the easiest classical movements to play, and on top of that she actually butchered it to be honest with horrible fee. A for effort though

Lying Dog Faced Pony Soldier lmao, but is she a classically trained pianist? The answer is no. Stfu and take your negativity elsewhere. Thanks.

Lying Dog Faced Pony Soldier you are prasing beyawnce beyawnce is ugly and fake and slept to get to the top after beyawnce used the woman in Destiny child got with jay z alicia didnt need a shyt wanna be tlc girl group to make her become famous like dirty ugly beyawnce alicia is beautiful and talented and let her talent speak for her unlike beyawnce and alicia doesnt have to take her clothes off like that idiot

Thank you Robin! ❤️🎻🏀

🙏🙏🙏❤️😥

My mother played this as well. Tears flowing.

That's exactly how I felt as well. Alicia played that so beautifully and I started crying thinking of when I lost my mom also. You can feel the pain from vanessa. Very sad.

I can relate when lost My Mother was the Hardest Day Of My Life.! I Didn’t Think I Could Make It Through But God Has Been There For Me To Help Me Make It Through For Myself And My Son which is The Most Important Person In My Life. It’s Been Since 2007 Then A Very Close And Dear Friend was Murder The Next Years By Her Man Her Children’s Father They Had 2 Boys Then He Killed Himself as well Right After Taking Hers. So for me It was So Much To Deal With Back To Back it was A Very Hard Time And TIL This Day l Still Hurt Sooo Much Being Without My Mother.. Amen 💔🕊🌹

@@lisaayars7263 oh my gosh, that's horrible. I'm so sorry you dealt with all that loss. Yes when I lost my mom it was definitely the worst day of my life as well. I have a son too and all three of us were so close. I can't even explain how close me and my were and how close my son and she were. It was horrific having to tell my son grandma was gone. Worst day of my life for sure. And it was three days before Christmas in 2015. Christmas isn't the same anymore to any of us. I understand your pain. We're not alone though.

That's not true - Alicia copies music and pretends to be something that she is not. Stop worshipping her.

@Gwendolyn Green He is in everybody comments, ignore him. He's obsessed.

@Gwendolyn Green ❤

Shanta G I was just gonna say that! Everyone that has a positive image or compliment to pay Alicia he’s right there to try and shut it down🙄. SMH, some people are just very sad

@@teashuh2449 Yes, it's sad and pathethic.

Heartbreaking

I Cried 😥

She love kobe so much,its hard to see her grief

So sad 😥😥 her heart is broken

@@ryanf3599 😪

Wowza

So was I. I tuned the piano!

Mike Olson kudos to you my bro and that epic piano

She been is music industry for like 20 years. What do you mean

Harrison Benjamin Rusasa that’s recent compared to the likes of Stevie Wonder, Earth Wind and Fire, the beetles, Run DMC and many others. I was well into my late 20’s when she came out. 20 years is still considered a more “newer” artist in my book.

@@Twizzledoc187 new? She's not new at all. She's been doing this long enough. 20 years is a long time, most artists don't even last that long Nowdays, Career wise

Cody Walsh they said Newer. Emphasis on the last 2 letters.

@@travisspaulding9540 yes I know what they said and 20 years still isn't "newER" 🤦‍♀️

Travel Lover I’m not talking about nothing cultural I’m saying that she is a great artist and she play a wonderful song on Mr. Bryant funeral and to my knowledge Alicia Keys is American born and raised in New York, New York

I love that Alicia is a true blue pianist btw. She’s the dopest

I wish I could play piano

There is absolutely no possible way that you would even believe that any Pianist, let alone Alicia Keys would do such an dishonorable thing. No pianist would ever do that. Secondly, this is a memorial service. A time to honor and show respect. "Moonlight Sonata" was learned and played by Kobe for Vanessa. If she's been playing since she was 5, why would she take one of the most diffucult pieces of music during a time of mourning and change it just out the blue... You literally just wanted to say that.

BbYyTtOo that was the whole purpose

Omg your right..

nothing gets past you

@@givemyrepperayshuns1057 I was trying not to laugh but this comment is funny😂😂😂😂😂💀💀💀💀

And 20 for how many years Kobe was in the NBA...2/24/20

legendary s oldier .PERIODT💯R.i.P Kobe and GiGi and the ppl on the plane!🥺God rest their immortal souls🙏🏽

Honestly it was a pretty shitty rendition of that piece. Off tempo. Mistakes. And adding strings so people don't see how poor of a performance it is.

@@ColinPatrickWeiss I rest my case

@@ColinPatrickWeiss i could or would agree with you being a musician myself...but im thinking alicia keys maybe isnt that polished in classical and maybe it was more the thought and gesture that counts.

@@ColinPatrickWeiss it was heartfelt and played with passion and emotion at a funeral GTFO

Me too ❤

Susan Smith It’s an honor of kobe bryant. 8

Lanz Leanillo to give a thumbs down Really!

Lanz Leanillo - if this is the new way young people show respect - God help us all😢

Susan Smith they just don’t have any respect

They should be high
