Rap-Up.com || Alicia Keys Unleashes ‘Freedom’ Tour

Alicia Keys can’t be caged in. The Grammy-winning songbird broke free while performing “Love Is Blind” on the first date of her “Freedom” tour at Scotiabank Place in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada on Friday (Feb. 26).

The 75-minute set included multiple wardrobe changes, stunning visual effects, and of course, Alicia’s powerhouse vocals. Thousands of fans were treated to classics such as “Fallin’” and “No One,” plus newer numbers like “Try Sleeping With a Broken Heart” and “Put It in a Love Song.”

Opening act Robin Thicke swept the ladies off their feet during his hour-long performance filled with sensual love songs. Melanie Fiona will join the tour when it hits the U.S. on March 3 in Rosemont, Ill.

Rap-Up.com is giving away a pair of tickets to see Alicia in Miami, Atlanta, and Los Angeles. Enter here for your chance to win!

^^^ Fo’ real though! Like I like Alicia Keys and ain’t got nothing against her but I’m gettin’ tired of seeing these bitches in cages! I saw Britney perform in a cage on tour ’cause she feels like her fame is a gilded cage; okay. Shakira’s in one ’cause she’s a wild wolf woman; okay. But Alicia, girl why you in one? Couldn’t you just be in shackles and get free? Damn!

Damn Alicia did not just swagga jack Britney and Shakira. 0-o

First Alicia copies ciara at the AMA performance. Identical to the promise video brick wall. And now this!

I still like Alicia’s music though.

So, y’all are saying because she’s in a cage that she’s copying Britney and Shakira? LMAOOOOOO A bunch of lames that wouldn’t know symbolism if you smacked it on their foreheads.

Ciara?

Unless you’re just trying to hide the fact Alicia is copying. Come on don’t see she isn’t.
Britney did the cage thing first, then Ciara, then Shakira and now Alicia. Open your fucking eyes.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, its time for people to be original. What I’m sick of is seeing the same shit every time i go to a concert. Cages are so over used. I am just in disbelief that Alicia Keys copied the cage thing.

maybe because her and Shakira performed at the NBA ALL Star game, she got inspired and said “Ooh I wanna copy that!”
