Alicia Keys’ dual piano performance at Grammy 2019
The 15-time Grammy Award winner sang a medley of songs she wished she had written while playing two pianos, midway into the show on Sunday.



She said, “I wanna welcome you to club keys. I’ve been thinking so much about the people and the music that have inspired me, and I want to give a shout out to Hazel Scott because I always wanted to play two pianos.

”But back to the music. You know those songs that live inside of you and live inside of me, and you just love it so much, because it was done so well that you wish you wrote it. That’s how I feel about these songs. I wish I wrote ’em.”

The singer and songwriter started off by playing ”The Entertainer “ on two grand pianos.


The 38 year old singer moved on to play songs by Drake, Roberta Flack, Coldplay, Juice WRLD and more.

Celebrating her, the former First Lady of America tweeted from her official Twitter handle @michelleobama.

She wrote, “A big part of friendship is showing up for your girls—that’s why I was thrilled to be there for the one and only @aliciakeys at the #GRAMMYs⁠.

“She is one of the most genuine and thoughtful people I know—there’s no one better to help us all celebrate the unifying power of music!”

Another fan, @curtisstephen tweeted, “Alicia Keys just walked us through the history of American popular music with a virtuoso performance that was truly was one of the greatest of all-time on the Grammy stage. Hosting? She’s EDUCATING, UPLIFTING and TESTIFYING”

@joecampbellMN, Here’s the deal, that performance by Alicia Keys was insane. For anyone who has ever tried played the piano, for anyone who has ever tried to sing. She is an AMAZING musician. I love her. More musicians hosting this show

@pascaleblaise tweeted, “This Grammy performance of Alicia Keys was amazing. Singing on two pianos, her voice is timeless. Only Alicia Keys does it like Alicia Keys.

According to InfoMigrants, Nigerian women are at growing risk from traffickers in Germany who exploit and engage them in prostitution. Read the full report below by InfoMigrants.

More than 18 months after the law came into effect, thousands continue to be targeted for exploitation, and the risk for Nigerian women seems to be increasing. There are campervans parked by the roadside. Some have hearts painted on them, one says “girls, girls” in red letters. It’s an easy matter for someone to stop for a quick transaction in one of these Love-Mobiles – sex with one of the “girls” in exchange for the going rate. Prostitution is mainly legal in Germany, as are these mobile brothels. But many of the women in the business – including those working from the Love-Mobiles – are victims of illegal human trafficking. Most of the women are from Eastern Europe or Nige...

I have been truly overwhelmed by the reactions to my announcement from Nigerians. Even in airports outside the country as I travelled last week, Nigerians walked up to me with questions, concerns, encouragement, and motivation. I also saw disappointment by some who had poured their hearts and hopes into actualising our mission ...
