Alicia Keys - Empire State of Mind (Live from Apple Music Festival, London, 2016) 

One day I will be in NewYork and I play this song, it gives so much hope.

without makeup and she still the woman most perfect in universe...

I get chills every time i hear it.. It appears she has no makeup on and she looks absolutely AMAZING.

This song always reminds me of the one time I visited New York (I live in Germany). I had my headphones on and listened to this song on repeat while I was wandering through the city. Good memories.

Sending this to everyone who said that she lost her voice

I get chills whenever I hear this song. It’s the most magical song there is. I remember driving to New York City and playing the song with my family and friends while driving on the highway looking at the city. This song gives me a wonderful vibe that I will never be able to describe. It’s just so magical, and so was the city!

She sometimes sings out of tune. I love it. It's honest, without autotune. Forget the key. Sing with your heart. You're here to entertain, not to be perfect.

Now COVID-19 is killing newyorkers like roaches. My prayers go out to them.

I want to go and live in NYC... And I'm a big fan of Alicia Keys

No matter how many times I watch or hear you sing this song, I never get tired of it. You have many beautiful songs, but this one is still my favorite.

one day i'll be in New York and play this song while looking "the lights". 31.12.2019 19.39 Turkiye-Ankara

One day I will walk down new york streets listening this song and feel like I actually did something in life. Am from India.

Esta canción no tiene fecha de caducidad. Siempre me pone de buenas

From Ghana. I don't know how but I wanna make it here.....deep love

Eargasm!

can we take a moment to appreciate the talent of the backing singer at the beginning?

This woman deserves a public recognition for her love to this great, charming and inspiring city. The music, lyrics, voice and emotion makes this not just a song, it's an anthem.

you know what's really amazing... the fact that her backing singers and instrument players look genuinely happy to be singing there with her on that stage, so much passion and talent I LOVE HER!!!

I got chills, and I am not even from NY. Been there 8 times though, but still. That’s how special and phenomenal Alicia keys is.

Ooh-ooh-ooh, New York Ooh-ooh-ooh, New York Grew up in a town that is famous as a place of movie scenes Noise is always loud There are sirens all around and the streets are mean If I can make it here, I can make it anywhere, that's what they say Seein' my face in lights Or my name in marquees found down on Broadway Even if it ain't all it seems, I got a pocketful of dreams Baby, I'm from New York Concrete jungle where dreams are made of There's nothin' you can't do Now you're in New York These streets will make you feel brand-new Big lights will inspire you Hear it for New York, New York, New York On the avenue, there ain't ever a curfew, ladies work so hard Such a meltin' pot On the corner sellin' rock, preachers pray to God Hail a gypsy cab Takes me down from Harlem to the Brooklyn Bridge Someone sleeps tonight with a hunger far more than an empty fridge I'ma make it by any means, I got a pocketful of dreams Baby, I'm from New York Concrete jungle where dreams are made of There's nothin' you can't do Now you're in New York These streets will make you feel brand-new Big lights will inspire you Hear it for New York, New York, New York One hand in the air for the big city Streetlights, big dreams, all lookin' pretty No place in the world that can compare Put your lighters in the air, everybody say, "Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah" In New York Concrete jungle where dreams are made of There's nothin' you can't do Now you're in New York These streets will make you feel brand-new Big lights will inspire you Hear it for New York

The way she intentionally is turned to the vocals and support them, giving more spotlight, is everything

Artists like her is New York's gift to the world. Thank you NYC! ❤️

La voz de esta mujer me impresiona cada vez mas!! Por que no hay comentarios en español???'

Everybody loves New York the way it used to be not the way it is right now I send love to New York City❤

Esperando pelo dia que estarei em NY ouvindo essa música e andando pela Times Square!

I remember listening to this song back then and just dreaming of how beautiful New York looks like.

If you want to feel something you need to listen to #aliciakeys her voice her soul and the words fit so deeply to millions across the world. I feel so close to this woman it like she speaks from what I’ve lived and seen and felt and the voice drops you to your knees!!!!

Ooh, New York Ooh, New York Grew up in a town that is famous as a place of movie scenes Noise is always loud, there are sirens all around and the streets are mean If I can make it here, I can make it anywhere, that's what they say Seeing my face in lights or my name in marquees found down on Broadway Even if it ain't all it seems, I got a pocketful of dreams Baby I'm from New York Concrete jungle where dreams are made of There's nothing you can't do Now you're in New York These streets will make you feel brand new Big lights will inspire you Hear it for New York, New York, New York On the avenue, there ain't never a curfew, ladies work so hard Such a melting pot, on the corner selling rock, preachers pray to God Hail a gypsy cab, takes me down from Harlem to the Brooklyn Bridge Someone sleeps tonight with a hunger far more than an empty fridge I'ma make it by any means, I got a pocketful of dreams Baby I'm from New York Concrete jungle where dreams are made of There's nothing you can't do Now you're in New York These streets will make you feel brand new Big lights will inspire you Hear it for New York, New York, New York One hand in the air for the big city Street lights, big dreams, all looking pretty No place in the world that can compare Put your lighters in the air, everybody say Yeah!

In New York Concrete jungle where dreams are made of There's nothing you can't do Now you're in New York These streets will make you feel brand new Big lights will inspire you Hear it for New York

This is the song I always remember when I set foot in NYC. Missin' those days.

Brasileiros? 🇧🇷

Genteee q voz!! Tanto dela qto do Back Vocal... Lindos demais!!!

Natural beauty! 😍 - A fan from the island of the Philippines

The courage to sing with an exhausted voice without lipsycing. Mad respect to Alicia Keys!

Very good this music. She is best.

This song is one of the reason I’m in NewYork now 🤗

One day I will be in New York and this is my soundtrack for the whole month of staying there 💕

I always imagine when i put my airpod in ears and listen this song while walk in center of newyork see the light of the street someday. :)

Love the way she supports her vocalist crew.

When I visited New York last summer, I didn't even remember to play this song when I was strolling around 14th street....I was so stupid and kinda regretted it. But I hope I will get the opportunity to visit New York again anytime soon!

This song sends chills down my spine

Last month i went to New York, i looked at the most beautiful skyline i’ve ever seen while listening to this song. ITS TOTALLY HITS DIFFERENT!!!!😭😭😭

This legend song will never get old 🥺❤️

NY! The City! The heart of the universe! You're always in my mind, thoughts and dreams! My love for you forever!

"I've got pocket full of dreams"11 years since the inception of the song and it still slaps so hard. 2020

Went to New York! And listened to this song on repeat!!!!! Love it there everything she said I felt there!!!!every time I hear this song I get chills, miss it, and wish I lived there!!!

Praying for our world 😢 NY is suffering so much right now...hope everything gets better

Can you imagine being in New York at night on a skyscraper looking at the lights and this song playing in the background?

It's so sad to see her voice p not getting worse but to get older. Alicia in her prime absolutely slayed

Amo está mulher.

What some great backing vocals with the best golden voice of the world: ALICIA KEYS with her fantastic American band. Soon in concerts all over the planet with her piano.

I love this version than the other with the rap. This is pure soul and very classy.

EMPIRE state of mind. When I listen to this I go Bi Polar without the LOW bit. :)

Jamming to this song is like being in the club..

O jeito que essa pessoa é maravilhosa, é diferente...

I miss New Yorkkkk. I was there when I was 18. A dream came true. 🥰😘 I need to be there again soon please. 🙏

“Even if it ain’t all it seems I gotta pocket full of dreams baby I’m from NEWYOOOOOOORK” 🔥💯🗣

Una de mis canciones favoritas de toda la vida, es que el solo escucharla me pone de tan buen humor. Me hace sentir poderosa, que puedo con todo, esta canción es imponente y más con la voz de Alicia Keys, es mounstruosamente increíble. ❤️

I love you Alicia! Voice that never fades from my hearts and mind 😍😘😍

Andrew Cuomo, Bill de Blasio, Kathy Hochul, Eric Adams, and the Democraps just single handendly destroyed this awsome NY anthem.

One day I LL be there in new york and play this song ♥️🥺

Umas das cantoras americana que não me canso de Ouvir. Alice Keys ..vc é incrivelmente, in finitamente a melhor !!!@

I live in Moldova ( smallest city in Europe ) I'm only 14, and i think about my goals,my life, my path sooo much. I had a lot of dreams that i thought i will never accomplish, now my dreams are my goals. I will make it, i will make a path, I'm thinking daily of ways i can build my career make money and travel around the world. I want to visit this city so bad, i want to see in in person from a big height at night, look at all the sparkling lights and say that i made it. Stay safe ♡

I giggled like a child when she said "London" :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Probably the most underrated artist of all time.
