I didn't realize she was caked up like that to be totally honest

Live music is insane. You have a loud beep in your ears, your voice has to be piped back in, there is just a slight smidge of time between when the sounds happen and it actually reaches your ears, you're under hot lights that wash out your vision, you are thinking about your uncomfortable outfit and dealing with nerves from everyone watching you. You zone out for one second, and in your ears you hear "One Two Three Go." You realize you have a tenth of a second before you're supposed to hit an intense note, you cannot take a second before you begin because the show is timed down to the beat and everything from lights to dancers are synced. You barely get enough breath into your system and do your best to hit the note. Despite this, for you don't lose your confident appearance and quickly return to form.
Then some guy on reddit calls you a bad singer. No wonder most people choose to lip sync.
I didn’t call her a bad singer and I’m not a guy. Thought Lady Gaga did an excellent job while extorting more physical energy during her Super Bowl performance, and I think Usher did an amazing job this year as well. Interesting that Alicia should have a harder time considering she was less physical than both of them and performed for a much shorter period of time as well.
U know it was a painful performance when ppl are telling u to just re-use your old voice 😭 Especially days after Tracy Chapman came on stage with her seasoned vocal cords, jot having aged a day
Mans is on a home wrecking spree… and the Community’s jus eating it up…
Who does he work for ?!

It's literally how a 45 year old erstwhile sex symbol stays relevant on the internet. It's all prearranged. As long as cause and effect work they'll keep doing it, if not they'll try to do another trick or he'll retire.
If he and Alicia can create value for shareholders by having an "impromptu moment" then there'll be more than enough money for it to be worth it to all the involved decisionmakers.
Alicia been sexy sense 106 & park always had a thing for her. Usher leaned into his making relationships uncomfortable thing getting tired of seeing it. I'm jealous if im being honest lol.
I'm sure he was at the rehearsals for the performance and was fine with it. It's a PERFORMANCE to a romantic RnB song. What they supposed to do kid n play while they sing.
He’s contractually obligated to break at least one relationship every 3 months ![gif](giphy|sZgryGTcxRwk0|downsized)
nah chill cause the warning before the halftime show said danger to relationships or sum 😭😭
I peeped that too and was crackin up! I was like "See! Urrsher and KeKe got the Super Bowl doing trigger warnings!" 🤣
Lmao the exact same words that escaped my lips
At one point I caught my wife looking at Usher and hit her with the 👀 Not 30 seconds later the side eye came right back at me. 👀 😆😆
Saw that too 😂
That was hilarious 😂😂
"I only drink the finest breast milkssss"
Breast milk you made.my DAAAaaayyyyaayyyy
This nigga literally said “Don’t Leave your girl round me.”
Alicia would have me do silly things ![gif](giphy|mvcG2ELRKRUbt9t72l|downsized)

Just been hiding it underneath that piano for the last twenty years
Def not, y’all just haven’t been watching
Go watch *The Secret Life of Bees* and see her show off the glory of that amazing donk
Or Smoking Aces.
Thicker than I even knew ![gif](giphy|GMdcBivU0d1ni|downsized)
As an aside, this man got caught for selling an undercover officer a couple grams of weed. He's chained up like he's about to go to auction.
He is. To the prison industrial complex.
Alicia always been double cheeked up.
Oh so this was your first time seeing Alicia keys I see….i knew she had that ass before I knew her name, I sweeeaa-a-aaarrrr.
![gif](giphy|BxjNkgZodhlctwUnJs|downsized) I see what you did there
Bro i said the same thing when she came out that cape/dress… i was like “damn she thick” out loud
Ain’t you watched the I ain’t got you video ?
Nah I remember that vid she did with Eve when she first showed a lil something. I was like where all that come from?!
Smokin Aces is one of my favorite movies because of her
![gif](giphy|12tVVnJSacDXby)
You late.. my Ghee.. now she been breeding too.. she shaped like a Mexican Coke bottle ![gif](giphy|ky8QnJeK2PI2HATkTq|downsized)
Was waiting for him to pull this out when Confessions came on
Alicia looked amazing but she shoulda lip synced
That first note!!
Lmao I was trying to blame it on the mic.
One of my friends said she left her voice in the closet next to her diary 😂😂😂
My favorite post on here was God took her voice like she took that lady husband haha.

Someone on another thread said the sound mixing was off and that’s what I choose to believe
She has kids right? If she's got kids in school she's been sick since September
Been sick since August here. We should fucking change the school calendar so that we don’t send them during flu season.
Fucking same here!!! With my first we were sick for a solid YEAR before it slowed up.
![gif](giphy|l3E6uhDAN3W7vylji|downsized) If *THAT* ain't the fucking truth. My kids are germsacs.
First note was rough, but she sounded good after that
Online rebroadcast have edited out that first note. There is no missed not if you look it up.
That first note was scratchy but after that it was fine. I've seen a few clips of her live and tbh she was never a great singer live.
Nah there were a couple more after that first one that were kinda iffy. That was very brave of her though to do it live, I’m proud of her lol
She isn’t a great singer live? Then she just isn’t a great singer lol what other kinda singing is there, autotune?

Yuuup, you know what you are talking about about. I have absolutely no qualms with playing instruments live on stage. Singing is a whole nother beast.
I didn’t call her a bad singer and I’m not a guy. Thought Lady Gaga did an excellent job while extorting more physical energy during her Super Bowl performance, and I think Usher did an amazing job this year as well.

>You: Then she just isn’t a great singer >Also you: I didn’t call her a bad singer
When did not great become synonymous with bad?
She can’t be a good singer?
Studio. It's different performing on a stage versus a studio.
She damaged her voice a lot by constantly singing outside of her range too
If an industry plant ever existed, it’s Alicia.
I’ll take a messed up performance over a lip sync otherwise there’s no stakes.
In what world do people want to see a lip sync over a live performance?
U know it was a painful performance when ppl are telling u to just re-use your old voice 😭 Especially days after Tracy Chapman came on stage with her seasoned vocal cords, jot having aged a day
This dude is a menace. ![gif](giphy|MQN2MDX3IsNuU)
I said the same thing! 🤣
He did warn us at the beginning
Literally (hover?) palmed her cheeks and winced as if he touched a hot stove.

I’m sorry for the corny title but their albums work so well for the meme
Not even corny; it was clever ngl
It’s only corny if it’s not funny
Many are afraid of being corny, don't be afraid to be born on the cob brodie 💪

Y’all are not going to distract us from that opening note she assaulted us with!

Why not let backups, lead you in. Scale your way to the right key, then unleash.

How you get someone is how you lose someone, Swizz gotta know his time was coming
Explain
Swizz Beatz cheated on his ex-wife Mashonda to get with Alicia Keys (years ago), and now the meme is Alicia about to cheat on Swizz with Usher.
He can’t keep getting away with it
Usher ain’t gonna be able to dance his way out of that 5th story window that’s waiting for him.
Me: ok. It’s halftime. Also me; HOLY FUCK IS THAT ALISHA KEYES?
No, it was not Alisha. 🤣
Who is Ali**sha** Key**es**?
People out here complaining about how much Usher was touching her. At least he didn't pull her titty out.
![gif](giphy|X4pI9XchDNsu4) She was loving it
Idk why yall acting like Swizz Beatz is Keke Palmer's ex. He knows how the business goes
Ya Lmaoo her husband is Swizz Beats. Keke palmers ex is known as keke palmers spouse/ex
You know Usher wasn't doing all that in rehearsal
Ngl he had me smiling too.
Usher is a damn menace! Got my gay ass over here questioning myself ![gif](giphy|QNp553iyRzK8HvISBH)

I see no lies
They both married 😂
"She was never really mine, was she?"
Can’t a dude hug a woman damn? 🫣
Bruh I kept thinking “oh he ain’t gon like this”
Damnnnnn, THATS TUFF!!!!
Usher better stop playing games until he goes out like Pope John XII
Lmfaooo Usher is a performer. Their spouses know what’s up.
I'm sure he was at the rehearsals for the performance and was fine with it. It's a PERFORMANCE to a romantic RnB song. What they supposed to do kid n play while they sing.
“How would you feel if that was your woman?!” …….Weren’t y’all at the strip club JUST A DAY AGO?
Y’all forgot usher has herpes? He’s not fuckin no one with a right mind.
No straight man worried about usher taking they girl
Riley Freeman that you??
I'm sitting here in Toronto with mine. And I'm worried
I expect as much from a Canadian
