Jay Z & Alicia Keys - Empire State of Mind LIVE 

The passion in their voices is just mind blowing.

This song makes me homesick for new york. And I ain't even been there once.

If this song doesn't make you feel like going to New York, I don't know what will.

If you're here in 2024, you're a legend Alicia Keys is so dope. I can't stop watching this track again and again. I am sure she will be #1 soon due to 💖a u t h e n t I c v i e w s 💖

After Corona, this Song Need To be played in Front of thousands of People on times square

how lucky those people who enjoyed this live performance

No lip synching or auto tune for her. Just pure talent.

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.

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 .

i would cry if i was her, singing this song in the middle of NY Times Square, damn! what a life....

"It's really wonderful to come across people who freely share valuable information online. You never know what kind of knowledge you might stumble upon that could have a lasting impact on your life."

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…

Imagine singing this song in Times Square...damn what a dream. Beautiful!

This is the vibe I miss. Everyone's just happy, enjoying together. Lots of love no hate. Bring this back please.

its 2024 ,and this still remains the best live ever!

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!

Dear person listening to this song wherever you are on earth I want to use this platform and say may God bless you and your family. You are my invisible friend

Alicia isn't wearing makeup and she's SOOOOOO BEAUTIFUL! Natural beauty!

Whos here in 2024 a timeless classic this makes the american dream

Most iconic R&B Intro of all time. Alicia’s voice soars higher than the Empire State Building.

This song makes me proud of NYC and I’m not even American

This song always gives me goose bumps and I'm not even from NY. Heck, I'm not even American. Lol

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!.❤❤❤❤

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 !

They look and sound like they're having the time of their lives and that makes all the difference!

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.

2024 represented here. This song will never not stop moving me.

Everytime Jay Z comes out.....huge smile on my face. Def. a moment.

So Sad. We won't see such a crowd of people for a long time.

Once covid is gone, they need to do this again on New Year's Eve.

Her voice is just so amazing and she makes it look effortless. Best female singer by far.

Masterclass in how to sing behind the beat 👏👏👏she's almost on a different tempo and yet so perfect

sum people really found this song after tiktok damn bru where y’all been in life

One day I will be listening to this song walking along the streets of NYC. Remember this. 23 July 2020

Respect from Dublin. Two great artists.

This is on repeat now for 3 (!) hours. Love the energy. 😍

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!

this song still gets me hype

Wants me to experience NY like a new yorker just fr a day so i can feel this beauty ❤

Going down a rabbit hole tonight. What a great performance by both!!

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.

Well, it’s 2021 and I’m back again. Just couldn’t help it.

I love her little giggle at the beginning. It's like she's a bit overwhelmed- giddy like a child-wild eyed and innocent!

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

When I hear this song I always think of going for my dreams no matter what they are and accomplishing them.

Respect for artists who don’t sing with auto tune

Its 2024 man, still gives goosebumps!!!!

Classic Music right here. Music need more collaborations like this. NYC Yes Sir!!

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

These to are amazing performing together!

This song literally feels amazing even if fist time listening

She’s so goddamn beautiful, no makeup on...

When Jay's sound check comes in <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="20">0:20</a> and Alicia realizes he's there with her laughing. Just goosebumps.

Love this version!!!

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

I wish one day I visit new York. Very soon

The way Jay Z hypes her up is literally the best thing ever

This is one of the best live performances I have seen. Alicia and Hov made magic with this song. Pure magic!

Never been in NY but it feels i have been there because of this song. Amazing performance!

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.

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!

One of the best live performances ever!

This performance brings me so much JOY!!!❤ #bestperformanceever

That moment Alicia Keys noticed JayZ walking out to sing was priceless. She didn't expect him to make it on time.

*its so good to feel her happiness!*

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.

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. 🎉💥✨✨✨✨💥✨✨✨💥✨✨🎉

Alicias face when Jay Z turns up on stage is so attractive. Not many adults can express such unadulterated joy!

I feel like no song hits with nostalgia harder for people in their late teens and early 20s

I miss Ny city....the only place i feel at home , i lived there for many years , i cry so much when i leave you , i knew anywhere in the world will find your energy and that state of mind ..is mY soul city Will be back soon I Love NY

visited NY in 2005, amazing, buzzing, did not disappoint and plan to visit again someday

This song makes you feel home sick in a place you've never been.

If they won’t play this song on my funeral, I won’t come.

このライブ映像が入ったDVD持ってるぜ👍アリシア・キーズのハスキーボイスとピアノ弾きが超クール✨💖ジェイ・Zのニヤケ顔が最高👍🎉❤😊

Two of the great ones together 🎉❤🎉

I think jayz was a surprise even for Alicia . Her face was shocked lol

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

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!🌹🌹

I’m like 95% sure Alicia didn’t know Jay would be there based on her reaction. That just makes this even more badass

HER FACE WAS PRICELESS WHEN HE SHOWED UP AND SHOWED OUT

this song is everything to me. i cry every time

I was 20 years ago in new York and love it ! The hearth of the world

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 ❤️

One of my life dreams is to listen to this song while walking down Times Square

A voz da Alicia ... N TEM COMO ...

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

This makes you sad when your city doesn't have an anthem like this

Jay Z NEVER uses playback. Always live and raw, even when his voice cracks, i respect him for that.

Hello from Dublin. Brilliant and she knows he is on the way via the headpiece, 25 secs in. Two legends from USA.

My favorite Song, the king and the Queen

This song makes me weirdly emotional and I don’t know why. Anyone else?

who is listening this lovely song in April 2021

The passion in Alicia's and jay z voices is fricking off the scales love this song never been to newyork but have been told it's a beautiful place love the song still and it's 2024 brilliant guys xx

That is - with Prince Purple Rain in SuperBowl 2007 - the best ever live performance of all time. Just phenomenal !

someone in the last days of 2020?????????? this video makes me cry

Alicia is very beautiful even without make up... DAMN... Anybody in 2019???

One of my all time favorite videos.

2 legends same stage =) what moment!
