  • The way Alicia has referenced her life and it resonated with me in so many ways is crazy! From the pleasing people and burying your own feelings to addressing problems head on when you feel away instead of letting it settle and stir in you! Also standing ten toes down when it comes to your beliefs, whole Harley felt that.Thank you Angela and Alicia, AMAZING interview

    Alicia is so authentic, vulnerable, and humble. Her emotions are so raw when she performs live. She is a bright light that shines ✨️
  • A master class of an interview from the incomparable and effervescent Alicia Keys. She was so humble, insightful and emotionally mature. So grounded despite all her success.

    I love Alicia!!!!! Been a fan since the 6th grade!! She’s such a talent! Such a light. So New York! A household name for sure!!!! Yet so relatable in real life! A lot of celebrities are the complete opposite of that. I also love the bond she’s always had with her mom. It’s really beautiful.

    I always make sure I watch IRL, it makes you think. Also, it reminds us that "celebrities" are human and they're just regular people trying to figure out life;and they go through things too. Angie has the best interviews. Angie and Alicia are gorgeous!! I can't believe it's been 20 years since Diary of Alicia Keys! I remember begging my Mama and Daddy the cd. I was excited when I got it for Christmas I instantly put it in my stereo and listened to it every day
  • Just saw her in concert, she is a great performer. She seems like a deep thinker.
