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 ❤
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
If this song doesn't give you the chills then you're not human (or have a hearing impairment)...
i've always been impressed by, not just her voice, but her musicality, song writing, piano playing, and beauty
"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
That is definitely the NYCs anthem
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
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.

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 🥰
Absolutely stunning women and such a powerful song , wow
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
this version is just amazing!!!!

What a great pianist she is in addition to her great voice. What an artist!
One of my favorite Alicia Keys songs. She has an amazing voice!!!
A timeless classic.
I can’t believe that this is my first time hearing this version. The key play is awesome and it touches my heart.
I think that people really underestimate her vocals ,she’s such a good singer ,I love her tone and voice :3
This made me feel like coming to New York and experience what is like living in New York.

Dude on the background is awesome :D
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
I so appreciate real musicians.
Teresa the drummer alone is amazing
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 😢
I have listened to this song since 2010 - 2016
Performance gave me chills. I have always loved this song and stumbled onto this live version. EXQUISITE, pure and simple. Ms. Keys is an astounding artist and musician. No fluff, no "image," just a pure, unique talent.
The backup singers are amazing!
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.
Wow her voice is incredible! So relaxing. The Element of Freedom is such a good album.
"If I can make it here, I can make it everywhere."
So true!.
Empire state of mind still sounds so amazing!
One of my favourite song ever!
Happy 2021 everybody, we all deserve a better year
She can reach all the notes so very easily....very gifted!
2015 and I'll always love this song
Brooklyn The KatyCat 2020 and I am still with you
2021 and still love it
Let's hear it for New York. I will always love the city
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
She looks so lovely here!
2032 i will still love this song
Every time I hear it on the radio I have to sit down and just listen. Fantastic..
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.
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 🙏😋😘
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!!!
New York, my favorite song. I love New York! Thank you 😘
I love this song. It makes me proud to be part of American people now...
i love this song and i live in new york
Marcel Hall You are very lucky .I used to live in NEW YORK (HARLEM )
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
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?
She is such a brilliant artist! Her music hits the soul.
Still rocking it in August 2019!
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!🥺🥺😭😭😭
The Background Vocals Are Straight 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Listening still in 2020...Alicia I am from New York as well.. You have such a beautiful voice!!!!
Such a beautiful soul, class act, and a truly inspiring human being! LOVE YOU !
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
This makes me remember the trip my mom and my two sisters took to New York city.. Oh gosh at least 15 years ago..this will stay in my mind forever. We had such a great time! I love New York city. (Plus I was born there❤). Thank you Alicia for making such a great song! I miss NYC.😃
.....Alicia's tribute to New York City....greatest city in the World....on this 17th anniversary of 911....we will never forget....
Great beats, great backings and the greatest voice of the world! I am so shakin....can't stand to hear that sound...
I’ve never been, but where I’ve been, tells me that this is the most talented, beauties, woman on the planet.
This is the best version of this song, she is brilliant and plays the piano beautiful, it makes me miss New York. 😁❤️
Essa moça canta com a alma!!
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.
Damn she’s beautiful and can sing like an angel ❤
Hey Alicia you have a amazing voice this song just gives me chills
This so,ng will always be in my heart. Espically being from NYC. Thank You Alica.
Kathy Kathy I AGREE WITH YOU ALL THE WAY AMEN
Даже завидую Нью-Йорку, потому что такие талантливые исполнители пишут о нем такие замечательные песни.
How can someone NOT fall in LOVE with Lady Alicia Keys....
Beautiful lady with a beautiful voice. Love this song Alicia
A very big song from a big human!
Alicia, you have an awesome guy behind your back
He is doing great job
Drums are so great in this version.
I am sure that Alicia keys is the greatest singer and composer of the world. So wonderful!!!
this song is honestly Brilliant and amazing i love evrything!!!
Growing up as a lil girl with dreams to go to go NYC. “Momma if I die without going there, I wouldn’t have died happy” two years ago she made my dream come true 😆❤️
Alicia Keys (= 14 US Grammy Awards) created a hymn for her hometown “New York City” = "Empire State of Mind". The version that I like the most. She sings "Nothing you cannot do in New York" ". Alicia is the only child of Terri Augello, an occasional actress of Italian-Irish descent and Craig Cook, an African from Jamaica-Porto Rico flight attendant.
Woooow❤ One of my lovely voices of all time!
This woman is phenomenal. She's a brilliant musician and lyricist and what a voice.
over rated
I have seen ppl saying she cant sing live.... I swear ppl dont know good music anymore
wow this brings to tears to anyone's eyes who understands.. Fantastic song beautiful voice!!
I am, and have always been, a New York City lover! Every time I hear this song I fall more in love with 'the City,' and my 'Empire State of Mind' is resurrected. Thank you Alicia and Jay-Z for bringing it with this tune -- one writing it, the other singing the hell out of it, giving an institution a run for its money. Both work, but I love yours more! God bless you for this generous, and hugely artistic contribution ❣❣❣
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.
Loveeeee this version- she is amazing...
