💜💜💜
Sorry for your loss
So sorry for loss. Stay strong my friend 🫂
So very sorry for your loss…..
This song has given me the push I need to end my toxic relationship. There is so much world for me to see. Why should I allow myself to be chained down by a person who brings sadness to my life
"Theres nothing you cant do.."
Très bonne réaction
Go for it. Do yoga as well, it will help.
Sending love ❤️
Good for you. The world is too big and too much to see and do than to be entangled in bullshit like that ❤
If this song doesn't give you the chills then you're not human (or have a hearing impairment)...
She makes me proud of being a New Yorker!! Love Her!!! New York Strong!!
patricia Groce She makes me wish I was a New Yorker!
love
Can't wait to visit your city..63 yrs old ,and I'm buzzing to be surrounded by newyorkers !!
Growing up in a small town in Norway during the 80s, New York was always the shining city on the hill that I dreamed of visiting. When I finally went for the first time in 2012 I had this song playing in my head all the time while enjoying the view of the 230 5th rooftop bar 🥰
Now that is a musician, an artist!
That is one of the greatest songs ever but only when ALICIA sings it, no one else even comes close to her voice. I love the way the background singers open the song too , it is just special.
Yes I agree but the late frank Sinatra put it on the map , great voice and a great actor

@@arenasjp awesome cover, thanks for the link .
Certainly better for me without the grunt and mumble nursery rhyme of Jay-Z!
@@tompaulcampbell Jay z doesn't even mumble you can hear everything he is saying
That is definitely the NYCs anthem
We all know Alicia Keys is amazing Give lots of credit to backup singers Love their voices and energy
Concrete jungle wet dream tomato!
So much to like about this. Beautiful.
a New York City anthem! No words to describe how beautiful this song is!
Átila S.A. I'm from Detroit,but this is My Shit!!!!!! Ain't Nobody Fucking with Alicia!!!!!!!
She is from the Bronx, New York! You know this song comes from her heart and soul! This is right there with Frank Sinatra’s anthem for my city.
Fabrizio Mancini She's from Manhattan not the Bronx.
No words to describe how BEAUTIFUL Alicia's soul is... Love ♥
Yes no words
Hello Alicia. The first time I heard this song something inside me changed. I have suffered with depression my whole life but didn't know it till i listen to this song. This song made me break down in tears and i couldn't understand why. That's when my life ended. I got a second chance in life and got help , learned it was depression. I guess you saved my life so I thank you for that. Whenever the depression get bad I listen to this song . Their is no help or a cure for depression and their is only one outcome.
There is help mate, there are treatments...but no cure. We are on the same boat, but I guess you get used to it
Steve. NYC will always be there. I know how dark it can get. When you feel it coming get on a plane and go. The song brings me to tears too.
Will pray for you man, there is a cure!
Hi from the United Kingdom I too suffer depression. It not only drags you down but it takes you to some dark places keep fighting my friend be strong
Steve Hedrick hope you are doing well. Depression is a big struggle
"I'm gonna make it by any means; I've got a a pocket full of dreams..." - so solid, it hits me!
Love that line
Killer lyric
Every time I hear New York's new millennium anthem, I have tears of pride, even now!
What I love about Alicia is that she's one of the few female mainstream artists today that is a true musician. Others are singers, performers, celebrities...she's a pure, simple musician first and foremost. Something missing and highly underrated in current music industry, that is so eager to rely on shock value, controversy and and sex to sell females. We need more authentic women musicans that inspire a new generation of artists (as opposed to inspiring girls to become sluts and sell). I heard Alicia speak in a TV show about women issues the other day; besides being a wonderful artist, she's one of the most intelligent and down-to-earth famous people I've seen. Forget Beyonce hypocrisy trying to be a diva and the girl next door at the same time, forget Miley, Katy and the rest of them trying to be something else to grab your attention. Alicia is so authentic, smart and truly humble that such elements make her stand out from the crowd of pretentious bitches.
Sooooo much I do agree with you, Nephania...!!! Unfortunately true!
I agree! Taylor Swift & her are exceptions
Beyonce is the worst (as you said, hypocrite) because she's all "FEMINIST" but she's always half naked and shaking her bootie, so, what's up sister? you claimed women are treated as sex objects but you seem to like it.
That's what feminism is: having the choice. We think nothing of half naked or topless men.

i've always been impressed by, not just her voice, but her musicality, song writing, piano playing, and beauty

+Faras Ali not underrated by me mate. she is amazing artist.
What a great pianist she is in addition to her great voice. What an artist!
Will never forget that day when my sober mum told me what had happened. I couldn’t believe it and having visited GroundZero it chills me to the bones. God bless all of you and God bless all the fire and police souls who were heroic. My son is a police officer and I worry about him every day. ….omg I fear for my grandchildren 😢
And god created alica keys!
It's good also to give credit to the 2 women who wrote this song: Angela Hunte and Jane't Sewell-Ulepic.
Michael J McCurdy eoaoroapsoww0eoeoaproqoew0ow
which one?
Those 2 women wrote Empire State of Mind.

+skrrt skrr
One of the best live solo performances I’ve ever heard
Alicia Keys has something intrinsically magic about her voice, her powerfully gifted instrument, and yes, her piano. She has something that very, very few in the industry have ever had...
Talent
One of my favorite Alicia Keys songs. She has an amazing voice!!!
2016 and I'll always love this song
I agree (: we love u Alicia
A WHOLE SIX YEARS WHOA
same here
Straight fire
just amazing
You should know. This is the best song for NY. Most popular after Frank Sinatra. And Alicia was under 30 when she sing it first time. Now this song not just a visit card. Its an icon of this city.
From Scotland, visited New York as a 25yo in 1976, this this great song by a fantastic singer and musician brings back so many memories. Retired now, so unfortunately will never get back.
she s beautiful , she s a great singer, she s a great pianist, she knows about synthesizers she is perfect
Ohhhh My goodness, the guy back there did the chorus is gooood.
wq2
A timeless classic.
Incredible! Sings like an angel.
There's no artist out there that is more talented than Alicia keys. I freaking love her so much!!! She is a superwoman :))) She is so freaking beautiful it makes my heart hurt
kaitlyn nehira definitely best female artist. I think the weeknd is the best male artist
When listening to this song, it seems as if the whole life passes by like in a magic panorama. Terrific!
Want to hear it's impossible Perry como
An amazing City deserves an amazing song 🎶❤️🗽🏙️
This song hurt me so much... Reminds me my mom, she's passed away in 2020 and she loved this song, soundtrack of our favorite tv show too, Gossip Girl. Mommy, i love you so much forever!🥺🥺😭😭😭
Nothing better than riding in a topless bus and listening to this song, in New York City
Everything about this performance was perfect
I’ve never been, but where I’ve been, tells me that this is the most talented, beauties, woman on the planet.
I walked from LA to New York in 2017 as a Veteran Walk For The Wounded 3 British Veterans and 3 Marines ❤
Dang bro how long did it take you?
Best version of this song, hands down!!
***** You're probably a bit right about that, but I was thinking about the song being slowed down and sounding more soulful in my ears...
***** yea, I understand what you're saying:)
Nathalie Ferreira Diamandis Effgf
Yer Right ! The tempo on this one, heavenly, the best version to date.
Who the hell would dislike this?
Vince Haddad some full retards it seems bro
Probably all the people who liked California Gurls 😂
+Phillip Fawcett Expecting the grunts and mumbles of Jay-Z?
+Vince Haddad I do like this song, but this version I think is somewhat over-produced.
+Richard Hawkes How could it be? ,it's a live version and i can't hear any add of sustains or reverbs in this performance.
Let's hear it for New York. I will always love the city
How can someone NOT fall in LOVE with Lady Alicia Keys....
Anyone else focusing on the vocal dude in the back?
Why
The backup singers are amazing!
Every time I watch this, I get distracted by the three backup singers. They always remind me of The Three Degrees, back in the 70's....."When will I see you, again...."..Incredible!!!
Great Song! Everything is beautiful. Artist, voice, lyrics. So inspirational.😢
Best Live Song Ever!
You haven't heard many songs then...
for ever
Omgoodness! You are ageless! 😋😘💋🙏🙏🙏🙏
Oil
Oil? Sorry I'm a novice.... Please explain 🙏😋😘
So much talent,and passion.
So amazing
Damn she’s beautiful and can sing like an angel ❤
Dude on the background is awesome :D
Alicia, you don't need jayz, you don't need that cult. You can survive on your own. You got talent.
The Background Vocals Are Straight 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've said this elsewhere but I'll say it again - Here in Melbourne Australia we've been hearing this song get endless air play particularly on 91.5 Smooth FM, it's only just now on a steamy hot Sunday morning I went looking for the artist who sang this, I just typed in "New York" and the first to come to the top of the list was Alicia Keys, never seen her before didn't really knew her name until now....if I was a New York'ian I'd be very proud, this song carries what it must be like to live in New York the feeling the lyrics the strength in Alicia voice the chorus is to die for....each time I hear this song it gives me goose bumps and I can't help seeing every New York person feeling proud when they hear this....well done Alicia even on the other side of the world we hear your message, and not to mention you look amazingly beautiful....I love your song!....I'd love to listen to an extended version Alicia just so I can keep these goose bumps goin....and that New York accent...love it!
that was beautifully written, very inspiring.
.....Alicia's tribute to New York City....greatest city in the World....on this 17th anniversary of 911....we will never forget....
The universe is on our block💕💕
Drums are so great in this version.
I so appreciate real musicians.
Teresa the drummer alone is amazing
I have seen ppl saying she cant sing live.... I swear ppl dont know good music anymore
Alicia Keys lights me on fire watching her in this song. Can't take my eyes off her every move. Every thing she does is eye candy to me. Starting to sweat. More Alicia Keys please. LOL
Proud to be a New Yorker - any NYers out here (Like this) Queens representing
kEW gARDENS
She can reach all the notes so very easily....very gifted!
Splendid !!!! What a voice :-)
