Alicia Keys and Stephen Colbert (Raps!) Perform Together

[grauster423]

I want me a suit with a hoodie!

[Berta664]

He sounds better than Jay Z

[EDGEacc]

Beautiful man is beautiful

[norrinradd84]

Colbert is the man. Is there anything he cant do......COLBERT/STEWERT 2012. This message was not sponsered by the" ELECT COLBERT" superpac. LOL

[sedallison]

How did she keep a straight face?

[balancedeath]

that's one cool ass white boy

[jonaslum]

she's so pretty!

[watchmeshrink20101]

That was beautiful. *tear falls*

[xbritbrutalx]

This man never ceases to amaze me.

[norlock]

It is written from the flying dutchmen so it is dutch. Colbert is a freaking hero, I just love people who just are who they are without the need to insult others.

[norlock]

@norlock In some cases... ;) but still.

[sevelev711]

We all love New York. P.S. What language is the comments behind me?

[kingofamericans]

@sevelev711 Dutch, yo

[dominatus84]

This is so funny to watch, you see this guy in a suit, with a great personality on tv and he's like he's a very serious person but then again he can sing, and he has better moves than most white men I know :) I like that sense of self-expression!

[TwoFlyingDutchMen]

@luckyluc144 zullen al die amerikanen en andere mensen zich niet de hele tijd afvragen wat dumpert is :P

[datiswatikjezeg]

@TwoFlyingDutchMen Ik denk et niet

[PatientPaws]

You'd be correct in assuming that I like this version much better than the original. Jay-Z just became obsolete.

[buttface112211]

Is he wearing a suit with a hood?

[buttface112211]

Stephen Colbert can do anything.

[noto1070]

This guy cracks me up...and Alicia Keys is just gorgeous.

[KingSturgill]

steve carell will be the White House Chief Of Staff.

[TheGreatDeciever55]

BTW where can i download this remix?

[TheGreatDeciever55]

better than Jay Z----and i love the hooded suit!!

[dabomb2272]

@poorboys14 agree

@poorboys14 disagree

[Satrynify]

@KingSturgill

I love you.  XD

[7Misun]

i love the suit hoody

[melboney]

I didn't think I could possibly love Stephen Colbert any more... then I saw this. Awesome, awesome, awesome!!!

[churchel]

Colbert is always over the top white. It is part of his shtick. Better than the Jay-z version!

[poorboys14]

Bar none, this is the funniest video on You Tube!! Stephen Colbert is SOOOOO White!!! You gotta love his rap and the way he dances..!

[poorboys14]

Bar none, this is the funniest video on You Tube!! Stephen Colbert is SOOOOO White!!!

[auroradawn23]

I don't know how she managed to keep a straight face and continue singing without laughing. Genius.

[smileyboy1994]

to the jon stephen and south park guy i must say tosh.0 is a great show as well.

[Negotiator007]

Stephen Colbert rapping too funny

[ddrydrunksociety]

this is so much better than the jay z version stephen cobert at his finest

[q0zi]

PIN STRIPED HOODIE

[richardaalan]

How did AK not burst out laughing. The backup singers and band were laughing. Good stuff.

[tjsbigidea]

Colbert is hardcore! F'real, know'm sayin?

[TCRFan]

Over a year later, the bit when he walking down the stair behind the piano still gets me everytime.

[sexykatie90]

sexykatie90 HAPPY NEW YEARS



[usomean]

She's awesome, great song, and I'm beginning to think there is nothing that Stephen can't do. Amazing.

[Keldilah]

This is awesome, I love Colbert!!! Alicia is just amazing :)

[blisscartel]

I love how Steven Colbert's rap and his dancing is sooooo white boy! LOVE THIS!! Steven Colbert is the sh*t!

[aznguy628]

I WANT HIS SUIT HOODIE!!!

[underlinedbluetext]

america. 

[11texfan]

Alicia Keys is SEXY!!!

[RoninDave]

awesomeness - colbert has it

[noto1070]

OH and Alicia Keys is FINE!

[noto1070]

This guy is too much. LOL

[AUSROTTENY2K]

I'd much rather listen to Stephen rap the whole time than listen to Alicia Keys sing the chorus "New York" a dozen times over and over. She's a good singer but It does get a bit annoying.

[Antireligiosity]

Wow...Colbert is just the most perfect person. **sigh**

[QueenAnime99]

@AUSROTTENY2K Made up his own verses.

[thelostpiranha]

There's a better quality version at funnyordie: /videos/6f5c04d623/empire-stat­e-of-mind-ft-stephen-colbert

[Janetvdl]

He's so great at what he does! I love that spin move. I love his Charlene song, his rap "battle" with Michael Steele, and when he danced on his show to kill time during the writer's strike. He did it so perfectly :D

[musefeverfever]

He's doing that spinning again HAHA I <3 Stephen

[DX5K]

1:14 Look how Stephen had to catch his breath. That took a lot out of him. Stephen always gives it is all, and he's not even trying at the same time.

[FoulMouthedChick]

Seriously, is there something Stephen Colbert CAN'T do?? I love this guy, he's totally awesome!

[Dooptasticness]

I love his little spin at 1:22. Too cute lol

[Dooptasticness]

@Dooptasticness Maybe she'll steal Colbert from his wife next...

[TheGov27]

the hoodie suit is AWESOME!

[KGotschall]

LOL I love that the hoodie is part of his suit jacket.

[KingSturgill]

Here's the plan.

President=Colbert

VP= Stewart (colbert would never except 2nd best.. especially to stewart)

Secretary of State=Lewis Black

Secretary of Defense= George Carlin's Corpse

Secretary of Education= Jack Black

Secretary of Transportation= Chum Lee from Pawn Stars

I think these characters could do a fair and decent job. don't you?

[Stags80]

@KingSturgill I lol'd at Chum and George. Man i wish George was still alive. His comedy was top notch.

[KingSturgill]

@Stags80 His corpse would do a better job than he. Imagine we prop up Carlin's Corpse in an address to Terrorists.... and we just Film him... and then after about 15mins we all eurupt in appluase.... the terrorist would be scared shitless!!!

[7Somerset]

@KingSturgill LOL Jack Black would actually be a great secretary of education, he loves kids! i don't george carlins corpse would do a good job tho

[AngieEnz84]

@KingSturgill I would happily live in that world. No question. If only...

Stephen dancing <3. Can't beat that. Nice rap, too. This is just all sorts of awesome and adorable.

[KingSturgill]

@KingSturgill Imagine Carlin's corpse staring down the our enemies.... we prop him up infront of a camera where he just sits there... dead.... and we show this to the Terrorists and tell them we are serious. They will freak out, and know that we are the craziest mofos around.

[ericvyl1]

@KingSturgill Secretary of Labor= Steve Carell

Press Secretary= Will Ferell/ Rod Burgundy

[brownspider64]

@KingSturgill *sigh*

[defleppardgirl2009]

@KingSturgill you're forgetting steve carell

[YourMomBakesPies]

@KingSturgill

Ben Bailey should be Secretary of Transportation

[sodafromyoda]

@KingSturgill New plan: Don't let 12 year olds suggest our political leaders.

[MrHennRock]

i wonder how much jay z is getting paid for some one to do this to his track

[momowashi]

lmfao!!

[8182570]

i love how he just had to rep the suburbs hahahha! Stephen colbert i couldn't be more impressed!

[monicannabella]

I'm so glad this happened

[enverpasha55]

Awesome!! Colbert should have gotten an Emmy for this.

[HendrixGuitarGod108]

[LisaLoops]

He's just the most wonderful man, EVER!!! And to think we've had our arms around each other and snuggled! Swooooonnn!

[Panzerwurfer]

This was awesome....likely an Emmy for Sir Colbert.

[cntalkshow]

The music video for the Rachel Dratch/Billy Eichner version of Empire State of Mind has dropped! Check it out at youtube/cntalkshow It's awesome.

[heybamanba]

Chk out the band. They can't believe their eyes. Colbert got the moves. Looked a little like Beavis with his hoody. Fuck the Comedy Network for erasing access to this video in Canada. Their monopoly on access to Comedy Central is nothing short of Communist China.

[foldedeggs]

best performance on Colbert so far

[dougghboy]

alicia looks fine as hell.

[zpt4xzpt4x]

Colbert busted out his signature ballerina spin dance technique. Keyes was giving him "fuck me" eyes

[AsangaBF]

naww she was lookin at me

[hound4680]

colbert lyrics are 10 folds better then jay-z.

[gellerstudent]

ahaha yeah jay z fucks this song up

[pushpinpownzor]

anyone know where i can get an mp3 of this version? i have the regular version, but this is better.

[comna]

that hoodie has real freshness lol

[demonikmagic]

i lovv his hoodie XD

[lukefresh58]

post rate prostate the only difference is a coupla drinks

[MyhouseMyopinion]

This should be an music download for a dollar. All the money could support the Colbert Nation at the Olympics.

[ScrubsM16]

Good idea. I'd buy it.

[flippedoverturtle]

I love this, Keys is amazing and Colbert has to be one of the most talented hosts ever

[Zona992006]

This was great. Damn Keys is fine and who knew Colbert was so cool...:)
