Appearing for less than 2 minutes on stage with Usher, the female singer brought a lot of controversy from her singing voice to her overly intimate gestures.
Suddenly appearing at this year’s Super Bowl Halftime Show, Alicia Keys performed the famous song If I Ain’t Got You that made the singer’s name. But instead of elevating her performance with emotional notes, she made the whole audience “embarrassed” by breaking the first high note, which is also one of the most profitable parts of the song.
The audience’s surprise is probably not difficult to explain, because Alicia Keys won a Grammy Award thanks to this song in the category of Best R&B Performance by a Female Singer. And throughout many years of singing, Alicia resonated thanks to her stable voice and smooth, powerful vocal stages that completely captured the hearts of music listeners.

Many fans also believe that perhaps the long absence from musical activities has caused the female singer’s voice and technique to deteriorate. And performing on the Super Bowl stage is not like indoor studios with ideal sound conditions, but requires a lot of skill and health. That is also the reason why names like Adele had to hesitate and refuse to perform here.
– You’re lucky to sing the Oscars and Grammys only 2 or 3 times, but it’s an honor to sing the Super Bowl once in your life, but she cracked the first note and it must have been very boring.
– This song gave Alicia Keys so many golden trumpets but now she can’t hear it anymore, why is her voice so degraded?
– The first time I watched Super Bowl 2023, I said Rihanna’s singing was scary, this year is not to my taste. Lady Gaga’s Super Bowl stage in 2017 is still the best in the last 10 years.
Alicia Keys is a name that has won many prestigious Grammy awards
However, there are still some viewers who “defend” Alicia Keys, saying that this is a difficult song with many high notes. The female singer is still extremely professional because at least she remains calm and charismatic, handling the second half of the song and accompanying Usher to the end of her part in the spirit of the Super Bowl without letting any “crack” notes appear. ” This brings down morale.
Usher and Alicia Keys “intimately” performed the song My Boo
However, the overly intimate interaction between Usher and Alicia Keys also caused strong controversy. Because the female singer is a married woman, and her husband – producer Swizz Beatz and their children were also right in the crowd watching the “fiery” performance of the two artists on stage.
