Jimmy Fallon introduced Alicia Keys to his "Wheel of Musical Impressions" game on Tuesday's Tonight Show, and she got the hang of it pretty quick. Fallon, who's played the game a number of times, did his best with what he had — though it seems whoever generates the singer-song combinations is angry at him for some reason — but Keys clearly outshone him, especially with her version of Adele singing "The Alphabet Song." Fallon's best performance, in fact, was as Keys' backup singer in "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star." They both seemed to be having fun, though, and isn't that the point of games? Watch below.
