Rap-Up.com || Alicia Keys and Maya Angelou Salute Oprah [Video]

The legendary Dr. Maya Angelou recited an original poem, while Alicia Keys accompanied her on piano during the second part of Oprah’s all-star tribute “Surprise Oprah! A Farewell Spectacular.” Alicia dedicated her empowering anthem “Superwoman” to the departing talk show host, who seemed to be soaking up every word. Watch the touching moment below.

@Tiffany, It’s Alicia’s hair I do believe, but I would say like most people she adds extensions. Whatever she does it looks great. She is a very beautiful and talented lady.

@alana smoke, Totally agree with you. Don’t know why people have such a drive for negativity and spreading rumors when it has absolutely nothing to do with them.

@YOUR A DUMB BITCH, wtf does her being “black” have to do with it. So because she stated her opinion that a majority of you disagreed with she has to be black. while your sitting here trying to correct her ignorance, you sound like just as much of a dumb bitch as her. I love how so many of you failed to miss the blatant ignorance and went on to attack. Who the fuck cares what alicia keys did, she makes great music and inspires woman all over the world. She’s BLACK and white too and im sure she had worn so weave from time to time too.

Love Alicia and that beautiful voice, love Oprah, love Maya Angelou. Three beautiful women. An amazing tribute to Oprah. Superwoman suits all three women. Prince said it best when he stated Alicia is beauty personified. I agree.

Anyone hating on Alicia has to be a pretty pathetic person. It’s a shame. Alicia is one of the most inspiring and genuine people in the industry. I hope she continues to have success and we continue to be blessed with her and her music. Much much love and respect for this lady.

Dumb stans thanks for making it more obvious by replying to my log in name. Spread the word, Alicia is a certified homewrecka. Ever since she had that baby, she looks Ham! She’ll down in history as the homewrecka for the rest of her life. Eat dlck, better yet do what you do best, steal a husband

Alicia looks and sounds amazing. No one would ever guess she gave birth to a beautiful baby not long ago. When she speaks about the baby she’s even more beautiful because she seems to glow. It was a beautiful performance from both Alicia and Maya Angelou. Much love to all three of these ladies as they all continue to inspire us. Great to see Alicia back. :-)
