(TNS) — Alicia Keys accompanied Usher during the halftime show for a surprise performance of Keys’s “If I Ain’t Got You” and their hit “My Boo.”

And while publications such as the Associated Press lauded this as “the ideal halftime” performance, Keys’s part has sparked a discussion surrounding what people can and can’t trust online,.

On a thread posted to X on Monday afternoon, T. Becket Adams — a reporter and columnist who’s written for publications such as The Hill — published the video of Keys opening her performance.

“Everyone who watched the Superbowl halftime show last night heard Alicia Keys hit a sour note in her opening appearance,” wrote Adams. “Everyone heard it.”

Continues he: “However, the version of the show hosted on the NFL’s official YouTube page has the audio cleaned up to remove Keys’s sour notes.

“Bootleg clips containing the original, authentic audio are being scrubbed from YouTube at a breakneck pace.”

“This isn’t a giant conspiracy” either, to borrow Adams’s words: Publications such as The Hollywood Reporter have confirmed that Keys’s voice was pitch-corrected in an altered version while the original is “missing from the official recording.”

People swarmed to Adams’s thread contributing to a discussion of mega-corporations such as YouTube quietly changing media, and what that may mean for trust in establishment and the “factual record,” as Adams calls it.

“The point isn’t …Keys’s performance (honestly, good on her for going live),” continues Adams. “The point is that the CONSTANT unannounced tweaks and edits are an unnecessary strain on our memories & recollections.

“Keep it up and soon people won’t trust ‘anything’ they see online.”
