Geraldine Mejia wasn’t alone in her reaction to Alicia Keys singing two new songs on “Saturday Night Live.” But calling her better than Queen B?

“I cant wait for her to go on tour again just watching her perfomance made my eyes tear up,” wrote the woman from Providence, Rhode Island. “Sorry but I would take A.keys over Beyonce any day!”

Rolling Stone added details.

“Keys debuted a pair of new songs, ‘In Common’ and ‘Hallelujah,’ during her musical guest spot,” Rolling Stone said. “Less than a week after Alicia Keys unveiled her new single “In Common,” the singer appeared on the Brie Larson-hosted episode of Saturday Night Live for the live debut of that Latin-infused track.

“Keys, making her first SNL appearance since 2010, delivered a simmering, sensual rendition of the Illangelo-produced song bolstered by a locked-in backing band. For Keys’ second musical guest spot, she premiered her soulful, gospel-influenced ‘Hallelujah,’ an original composition and not the oft-covered Leonard Cohen classic, for the first time on television.”

The rock magazine also noted that Keys will return to NBC as a judge in the coming 11th season of The Voice “alongside fellow new recruit Miley Cyrus.”
