@ok Alecia keys had a throat infection, thats why her voice sounded raspy and raw. It added to the performance if you ask me
This song makes me homesick for new york. And I ain't even been there once.
I visited New York in Feb, it was dirty and depressing. Trust me you’re not missing anything. Australia is better
That’s right... I was living there but I prefer to live in L.A. 👍🏻

If this song doesn't make you feel like going to New York, I don't know what will.
I’m plan on moving to New York in December or January I’m a musician so I need to be there
I don't remember the song name but it was from beastie boys
I was about to book a flight there and then I saw the price and realised I was broke 🙄🙄
Exactly bruh...and I'm half the world away...... Indian here
Went to New York 3 years ago and as Manhattan came into view this song was playing in my head.
After Corona, this Song Need To be played in Front of thousands of People on times square
Ti MoTa we’re gonna make it through this and come out stronger
A ramped up version of this. With an entire marching band, fireworks, and a banner dedicated to all the sacrifices.
Be strong mates, from Spain, Be hard as metal. This is gonna be very sad, but Im sure you will be win this battle!!!
Ti MoTa it’s true
They are syncing the lights of the Empire State to this song every night. You can watch on the Empire State Building official FB page.
Jayz flight was suppose to be delayed on this and Alicia is ready to accept and perform this solo but when Jayz thought he could make it, he decided to surprise her instead and look at what happen guys! ❤❤❤ Just simple magical performance between this two icon.

Right. In the hometown of NYC
I missed it by 3 days
Where's a plane ✈ when you need one
i would cry if i was her, singing this song in the middle of NY Times Square, damn! what a life....
same wow
Ikr
You can hear her emotions as she laughed at the beginning
We all felt it 😍
that is weak sauce
Same here the last time I went to NYC I went to times Square at 5pm and left it at 6 am crying listening to Empire State Of Mind.
Alicia sounds real here…I can hear her voice cracking…but still that amazing voice powering through….and jay z appearance be the icing on the cake…what a dope ass live performance…
she has a throat infection and still did the performance that’s why her voice sounds raw raspy imo it makes it even better
But it’s always cracking… Or flat. Or shreaking..
@@JoeyBoBoeyNot true, saw her live in Germany. Her Voice was on POINT.
its 2024 ,and this still remains the best live ever!
Can you imagine the feeling man , being born in New York , growing up walking the streets, looking up at the buildings ,at the lights, everything !!!! And then flash forward and you are singing a song about your city and you are the center of attention in the entire city that made you . that is love .
Alexander Hastings C he’s talking about Jay Z nigga. And he wasn’t born privileged 💀
thia made me cry
I know that feeling i WAS born there and your right
Jay is a legend
Harper Park I was born in winnipeg but nobody cares 🙂
This is the vibe I miss. Everyone's just happy, enjoying together. Lots of love no hate. Bring this back please.
Love you guys😁
I’m afraid you can’t bring back the past my friend, all things must end.
Well if these radical left ass bitches would stop being radical because sell out snake in the grass Obama is no longer the pathetic ass worthless president then maybe New York could thrive on this once inspirational song!
well, tell all your liberal friends to stop burning this country down!
@Trump Girl! Stfu😂 You’re in a sub comment section get a life
When Jay-Z first comes on both he and Alicia pitch goes up uncontrollably cuz they both hyped stoked and smiling…that was the moment that this became real and epic for everyone in this iconic performance…I can listen to this 30 times in a row and often do!
Whos here in 2024 a timeless classic this makes the american dream
Imagine singing this song in Times Square...damn what a dream. Beautiful!
I went once to Times Square, with this song in my headphones, and yes it was amazing ! What a magic song and city 😍
MRS.Alica grew up in Hell's Kitchen (Time square) area.

GonDio my dream!!!
We did on NYE 2009.Time Square New York singing this.Was best ever
This song makes me proud of NYC and I’m not even American

Everytime Jay Z comes out.....huge smile on my face. Def. a moment.
Alicia isn't wearing makeup and she's SOOOOOO BEAUTIFUL! Natural beauty!
She's the best
You sure?
She definitely is lol
That's so impressive. She's really an amazing role model for women, which are kind of lacking for proper role models
WAIT SHE ISNT?!
the reason why Alicia looks so happy when Jay Z came was bc he said he couldn't make it and his flights were delayed... but he made it on time and surprised her!
Omgg, really nice
Bolloooooocks😂still they would have Been nice if true
Whatever the case he definitely made an entrance
Maite Moreno ?
How u know

This performance is EPIC !.
I am not even fudging the truth, I've been replaying this for the last 3hrs +. It's the raw emotions Alicia and Jay, like two proud patriotic New Yorkers!.❤❤❤❤
This song always gives me goose bumps and I'm not even from NY. Heck, I'm not even American. Lol

The beat is so iconic
The look of pure joy on Alicia's face when Jay comes out makes me so happy that I start tearing up. I love this performance.
I love it too babe
She loves what she does. And we love that she loves it.
did she really not know?
YES!!!!!
Honeygirl28 I saw the same their chemistry is too much
2024 represented here. This song will never not stop moving me.
Something super nostalgic about this song. Evertime I hear it, it makes me reflect on life and the times past. It makes me stop and look back on life, my life , the world.
One of the greatest songs ever !
One day I will be listening to this song walking along the streets of NYC. Remember this. 23 July 2020
Same:)
K I N G Hey. This was actually a reminder to me you don’t have to feel like you should care💕 have a nice day.

Most iconic R&B Intro of all time. Alicia’s voice soars higher than the Empire State Building.
I will be visiting New York in September for the first time in my 36 years of life...and this song is on replay in my mind
They look and sound like they're having the time of their lives and that makes all the difference!
they have a IT!
Me 2. All the way from Houston Tx

You HAVE BEEN FOOLED! check out all those artists who seemed like they were having the time of their life, but later turns out they were extremely depressed, contemplated suicide, some even killed themselves... Linkin Park..etc Dont be such a naive fool.
@@nidulamaknidulamak4214 Depression is different for everyone, you can enjoy one day or two sometimes, depends of how deep you're in. And depression is pretty common

Why compare ? They’re both very beautiful women. No comparison is needed.

@@TheAcenightcreeper please stop praising someones beauty by denying someone elses. That's not what compliments are about.
Masterclass in how to sing behind the beat 👏👏👏she's almost on a different tempo and yet so perfect
This performance brings me so much JOY!!!❤ #bestperformanceever
this song still gets me hype
Me too
Same
SAME
Same
Same taste of music 🎵❤️
This song is a taste of what it’s gonna feel like when you “ make it “, good luck on your dreams people make that shit happen I know I will.
Bro that was exactly what I was thinking, I just wasn't sure if everybody felt it too.
Just thinking about the day I'll be walking down NYC streets listening to this and living the life I always dreamed of makes me realize all the sacrifices are worth it...
We'll get it.
Yall will get there dw just dont give up on your dreams or youll regreti it. Have a good day
It’s more of a song about making it then just about New York, you’re right!
There is no such thing as "making it". It's an unreachable, ethereal point that people want, but will never reach, since it doesn't really exist. You're either alive and doing what you like or not, but there is no point where you think "i made it", since life is always moving forward, there are no stops.
@@cryptidian3530 The thing is that there are forever new goals, but we're talking about reaching our biggest dreams, not ending all life goals lol
Alicia's in heaven and they're both having a MOMENT.
Even as ambitious as they both are you bet they never thought that they'd be literally locking down Time Square to perform one of the greatest and most iconic songs about the city that's even been recorded.
There are few songs that are genuine instant classics and this is one of them.
You know it's an epic performance when the stage crew is in the background recording it on their phones.
I can't imagine being in this crowd but the tickets would've been worth every penny just for this alone.
It was a free performance.... Alicia wanted to surprise her hometown ... I heard the. Crowd went for miles
Very amazing.❤
Her voice is just so amazing and she makes it look effortless. Best female singer by far.
Jay-Z’s flight was delayed that day, that’s why she was so surprised when he turned up. There’s a video on it.
Really
Angel Johnson yes

Classic Music right here. Music need more collaborations like this. NYC Yes Sir!!
When Jay's sound check comes in 0:20 and Alicia realizes he's there with her laughing. Just goosebumps.
Great spot 👊👊
Oh wow! I missed that- Thank you for pointing that out I got major goosebumps all over again going back to that mark. Greatness!
I have watched this video many times over and have never noticed that...simply amazing!!! wow!
yeah thank you that was a nice thing to notice you must have some good stereo or headphones :)
What a spot, makes it all brand new again.
Well, it’s 2021 and I’m back again. Just couldn’t help it.
Right lol Were get there some day ❤️
None of us could
2021 porra
so addictive !
🤘
Going down a rabbit hole tonight. What a great performance by both!!
Respect from Dublin. Two great artists.
So Sad. We won't see such a crowd of people for a long time.

Oi
visited NY in 2005, amazing, buzzing, did not disappoint and plan to visit again someday
This is the best live performance of all time. 🎤 ❤
Alicia is a true beauty. Flawless! No make up, powerful voice and authentic ... on top of everything she cares about others. What a human being!
I agree a thousand percent! ✌️❤️
Her book is fabulous too. I listened to it and it made me love her more

The best place in the world, you'll know what I mean when you are there
It totally sucks. Unless you’re a millionaire, I wouldn’t even go near that hell hole. The crazy thing is that there’s a beautiful rural state just an hour away in any direction.
New York is just the remnants of a world before the internet. There’s literally no reason to live or work there unless you’re a boomer who can’t use a laptop.
Justin Chaney facts only I’m in CT, the city is a rat invested liberal city. If ur filthy rich it’s a different time tho, good day trip tho
New York is not only the number 1 city, but also artists like Alicia. Greetings from Switzerland mjrage 😘🤭
I Went to New York for the first time back in June this year. I have always wanted to go there because of this song. Spent a week there appreciating each and every moment of this amazing city as it will probably be my first and last time being there (Im from Southeast Asia.) I still dream of going back to this city to this day
the fact JayZ plane was late and cancelled on Alicia last minute and then he showed up exactly as his part alecia was so happy he did not think he was gone make it lmaoo
"I'm the new Sinatra, and, since I made it here
, I can make it anywhere, yeah, they love me everywhere" LOL
Don't be silly
U must be Ugandan right...
U always have false information
@@lwangafrank2431 😂😂
pretty sure you just made this up
When I hear this song I always think of going for my dreams no matter what they are and accomplishing them.

Me too, and I am so far from USA. An ocean between, lol.

Hello from Dublin. Brilliant and she knows he is on the way via the headpiece, 25 secs in. Two legends from USA.
I love this song, and this is the best because he came out of nowhere and everyone started singing together as a team, people are responsible for what they do but this rendition hits me personally
I think jayz was a surprise even for Alicia . Her face was shocked lol
yea he was

Yes it was. He was late with the plane
@@zensascha8690 he told you about that ?

There's nothing you CAN'T DO in New York
Damn skippy!
Yes 👏 we 👏 are 😎
Love the rawness of it . And the girl in bandana and glasses in the crowd just living the moment and about the only one not holding up a phone
Theyre fricking brilliant singing together love when alicia starts laughing when she sees jay heading for the stage to sing with her love it brilliant thanks for putting this up xx
I remember he was said to miss the flight to get to this performance. So she intended to perform it solo with his voice in the background. Her and the bands reaction when he came on stage was a genuine one ❤️
did he lie about it to surprise her or was he actually meant to miss his flight?
@@simpysompywomb5470 it was a last minute thing, only the band knew.
he flies scheduled? I figured he'd have a private plane.. :)
Kyss501: Jay has his own plane, him and his wife never flies commercial.
Oh
The world how it was before this awful virus. People in huge crowds enjoying life not worried about social distancing and wearing masks. Ughhh. I miss it so much
It's going to end soon broo!
It’s our own fault. We let the government do whatever they wanted because we are sheep
@@joemv5477 it's not going to end soon bro, not even with the vaccine ready. The virus is now mutating and that means more problems.

One of the best Live performances ever. And I mean ever. So pure.
Never been in NY but it feels i have been there because of this song. Amazing performance!
I’m like 95% sure Alicia didn’t know Jay would be there based on her reaction. That just makes this even more badass
I recall reading that his plane was delayed and he wasn’t supposed to be there, so she was really surprised by this
@@yeamville its fake hahaha
hope u joking..
@@yeamville the capital lmfao
@@yeamville That is right, when she laughs at the beginning is when she realizes Jay-Z had showed up, she saw him hidden in the back.
*its so good to feel her happiness!*
Marilyn Jane OMG YES 😭😭♥️
Looking cute you too
Nerds haveing nutela hot fun yeajhhh
amo esta canción más si es con Jay z
Bitch, it's so good, they named it twice.
Que incrível essa música...
Minha mãe escutava quando eu era criança.
Ó tempo bom cara!
As vezes dá vontade de chorar pelo tempo passado, onde não tinha tantos problemas como hoje em dia, pandemia, e etc.
Fui muito feliz durante essa época de ouro 🥇
Eu tinha uns 8 9 anos de idade.
Hoje, tenho 22 anos, e eu só agradeço por ter vivido essa época tão bom que foi a Minha infância.
🎉💥✨✨✨✨💥✨✨✨💥✨✨🎉
tenho 30 e essa musica fez parte da minha vida também. Alicia keys canta muito
tenho 18 e posso dizer o mesmo!!!
That is - with Prince Purple Rain in SuperBowl 2007 - the best ever live performance of all time. Just phenomenal !
That moment Alicia Keys noticed JayZ walking out to sing was priceless. She didn't expect him to make it on time.
Surprises are just like that ⚡®
I thought I was wrong.. I love this song and talk like I was born there but I've never been to New York ever in my life, I wish I could visit this great city one day.
🥰❤️
Alicia is very beautiful even without make up... DAMN... Anybody in 2019???
V
Agree with you
Many women actually look great without makeup :D we just need to open our eyes
Make up, is an invention to sell products and makes women becomes ugly ..
She is wearing make up
I am from London and never been in New York but I always adapt this song to London , city which never sleep, city where everything is possible, and after I adopt this song to every city, you can do whatever you want, you can be whoever you want, you can achieve everything, dream big and make the dreams come true no matter where you are
Clearly the Queen felt the same way.
Two weeks ago I was in NY and as soon as I returned to Italy I immediately felt nostalgic for that incredible city that is New York. This song plays everywhere and continuously on the streets of the city and seeing this video moved me like it hadn't happened in a long time. ❤
Jay Z NEVER uses playback. Always live and raw, even when his voice cracks, i respect him for that.
Dipset needs to learn that.
Yea I remember he wouldn’t do certain songs when JD brought him out cuz the DJ only had the actually songs
@@adrian121 I remember watching that and was mesmerized. Saw Jay live twice now and I always thought about that video. Goat!!
someone in the last days of 2020?????????? this video makes me cry

Me too 😅
I feel you
this song makes me cry every time, my biggest dream is to go visit New York.
yep
the passion is just beautiful and magical, especially with Alicea
And I was there too!! What an incredible moment!
Alicia, you are the best of all!🌹🌹
Awww her smile was priceless when he walked out and started rapping and she’s beautifully natural on stage I’m glad I came across this video
Very true

The starting emotional and inspiring part really gets me and then suddenly Jay-Z comes and then the drums enter, oh god its all perfect. Chills. Cant wait to go to thr Big Apple for college.❤
Alicias face when Jay Z turns up on stage is so attractive. Not many adults can express such unadulterated joy!
Right, her joy & excitement is beautiful 😄😄😄
Fin fact she didn't know he was coming
She need to grow up? Right? Ha! Where my adults at
I think this was a surprise appearance of J...that's why Alicia was shookt! haha! Impromptu for real artist is real!!
This song makes me weirdly emotional and I don’t know why. Anyone else?
Yes gurll it makes my heart weirdly ache
Nadira Basir exactly!
i wonder why that is. i feel the exact same.
💖 Emotional tears ... Strange because I live in Midwest with no NYC connections🤷🏿♀️. It looked so organic and authentic. What a great time 🔥 .. for me .. to be BLACKETY-BLACK! 👩🏾👏🏾👊🏾🙏🏾
Hell yeah.
Holy F, just discovered that marvelous performance and atmosphere. Blewn away!
One of the best live performances ever!
Jay-Z,s plane was late and he wasn't supposed to make it to this, when she laughs at the beginning when she is sitting at the piano is when she saw Jay-Z and realized he actually made it.
thank you for that .
No she didn't saw Jay Z. In fact she was surprised when Jay Z came out.
Hi Brandy! Thanks for that behind the scenes of it all. That's really awesome
@@jedidiahdotph isn't that what he said? She was surprised when she saw him coming on stage? 😅
@@TheEpicClanFTW Looked like she was about to start singing but the backing track wasn't where she expected.

Yes!!!!!
There is a positive vibe in the air now. Had a shirty day at work and vodka and smoke and many tears and then.....THIS
I am ...from Brazil
Eyyyy same vibe
Jammin on the panhandle
Peter Nyen yes
This is one of the best live performances I have seen. Alicia and Hov made magic with this song. Pure magic!
This song literally feels amazing even if fist time listening
Respect for artists who don’t sing with auto tune
Or lip synching
She doesn't need autotune
I'm exercising.
She is the autotune
Sad that you think autotune is meant for bad singers. Go search T-Pain singing live and tell me you dont respect him afterwards..
So, That's how bright NY is, even Jay-Z wears shades at night.
A lot more than before
Stupid yellow
So
@@Spartacus_Clips never heard of a color that is stupid yellow.
City never dies
This song is iconic and love when alicia starts laughing when she sees jay heading for the stage there voices are fricking brilliant and I could listen to this song over and over again well done jay and alicia yous smashed it with this song and its a pure masterpiece of a song love it xx
What an incredible voice. Please keep singing!!
