"Alicia Keys' Super Bowl Vocal Controversy: Autotune, Defenses, and Unpaid Performances"
Alicia Keys' live performance at Super Bowl LVIII included an unfortunate voice crack, which has been quietly autotuned in the official video posted by the NFL after the halftime performance. The original vocals with the voice crack are preserved in a separate YouTube short. Despite attempts to deter people from hearing it, a user on Twitter posted a comparison of the original and edited videos. Keys' appearance was a surprise, joining Usher for a duet, while Usher drew praise for not lip syncing during the energetic routine.
