Super Bowl viewers were quick to pounce on Alicia Keys for botching a note during her Halftime show performance with Usher… but her voice crack has since been cleaned up.

What Happened?

Alicia Keys was a little off-key when she started singing “If I Ain’t Got You” while playing piano onstage during the Super Bowl LVIII. This minor flub was immediately noticed and mocked by people. However, if you missed the live show on air, you wouldn’t know about it.

The Edit

The official Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show video published on YouTube has clearly edited out the voice crack. A comparison between the live performance and the version posted on YouTube shows that Alicia’s voice has been polished up. The difference between the two versions is noticeable, indicating that post-production editing was done.

Not a Conspiracy

Despite some suggestions of a “conspiracy” involving the National Football League, it appears to be a move by the NFL/Apple Music to support Alicia Keys. The decision to edit the performance seems to be aimed at presenting the best version of the show.

Reactions

While some are poking fun at Alicia on social media over this, the edit in the official video has sparked discussions about the use of post-production techniques in live event recordings. Despite the need for post-production magic, Alicia Keys is still recognized as an amazing singer.

Support from NFL and Apple

It seems that the NFL and Apple have shown support for Alicia Keys by editing out the voice crack from the official video, aiming to present the best product available. This move has sparked conversations about the role of post-production in live event recordings.
