  • I was in London for a bit during college and I was trying to find a bar that could be my "go to." I walked into this one and right as I opened the door "Empire State of Mind" starts playing. Well I'm from NY so needless to say that became my hangout for the next few months.

  • simplesmente a melhor de todas.

  • não é meu tipo de musica, mas eu abro excessão pra essa, haha ' (:

  • muito bom, essa musica é linda, e essa mulher brilho d+, arrazo, canta muito, e brilha d+, haha ' (:

  • damn this song is awesome. I remember watching this same video when it was first published. I'm getting old!!

  • Bridget Kelly nails this song, seriously I heard this live version first before the actual one with Alicia Keys. When I heard the recorded version, I was actually disappointed.

  • Kelly maybe isnt the best singer around, but shes the best for this song

  • stop censoring truth

  • Jayz - auto tune = crap

  • It's Cool!

  • This Could Be Better With Alicia Keys And Without the beeps

  • Great - except it really needs Alicia Keys.

  • no disrespect to new york. but in this song JAY-Z clearly states JESUS cant save you and life doesnt begin until the church ends. it may have been for show , and if he didnt believe this statement he shouldnt have made it. its scary to see that over 2 million people like this and it was the yankees 09 theme song practically. sound the alarm jesus is alive and he's the only way over 2million viewers are falling victim to worshipping idols. people some famous words for you HERE'S YOUR SIGN.

  • @soundthealarm3

    If you listen to all the lyrics, and depict the word play when he says that lyric and the previous one...he's not actually dissing on Jesus or religion.

  • i love NY! <3

  • ok

    

  • Who is the girl singer? Not Alicia.........Sorry, maybe she is famous over there, but I am on the other side of the ocean............ Great voice though.......

  • @JT73rd

    Its Bridget Kelly

  • jay at 3:46-3:50 LOL

  • if you think this was good, listen to a cover from holland. much better in a live performance. type this to find it on youtube: glennis grace & lange frans empire state of mind

  • oh new york, never be forgoten :3 I only looked up this song becuz i live in new york :D

  • search for: empire state of mind glennis grace and lange frans . Watch this dutch talent they are way better

  • Who is the woman singing? Sorry if it's been asked before :)

  • @carlTgriffith Alicia Keys, im amazed you dont know that,

  • @swiIson Thanks. She looks different her!  Don't be amazed - I'm pretty out of touch these days - but I do love this song. Cheers

  • @swiIson that is not Alicia. Alicia sings the original song but when Jay Z tours ALicia does not go with him. She has her own busy schedule. The girl singing in this video is part of JayZ's group.

  • @swiIson That's Bridget Kelly.

  • @carlTgriffith It is not Alicia Keys, she sings in the original version, and maybe other live performances, but not this one, she was riding the pink pony that day.

  • @raffialexanian That's what I thought. This girl looks different.

  • I luv that concert set, skyline video screen only Jay lol

  • Oh my goodness I'm sorry if I'm being a grammar nazi, but you just can't put "New York Concrete jungle where dreams are made of" it's just like saying "Youtuuuuuube concrete jungle wheres videos are made of" destroying the English language is not a very nice thing to do IMO.

  • @comradecommedy she says where dreams are made, oh

    she doesnt say where dreams are made of

  • the best! nice music!

  • NYC NYC NYC!!!!!!!!

  • Rest in peace bob marley<3<3

  • 136 people need a medic...

  • thank ja

  • who is this shit woman ?

  • anyway, you can find sheet music of alicia keys @ sheetsearch . com

  • really love this song... even my 72 yrs old grand mother dances if she hear dis song lol!!! xD

  • This song suck so hard ...... Apparently NO ONE HEARS SOMEWHERE ARE 3:05 JAYZ SATINETS ASS SAYS" hail Mary to the city of the virgin .Jesus CAN'T SAVE U. LIFE STARTS WHEN THE CHURCH ENDS". That disgusts me. I never knew it said that or I wouldn't have given this song a thought of listening. That makes me think that he might be a SATINEST after all. Anyway just eat what they give you. Keep ur eyes peeled

  • @GAMERwithASOUL12 I hardly think it makes him a satanist. Likely just one of the many of us who thinks religion hinders progress. Make your own principles and morals, but don't cling to a superficial being to make your world a better place. Do it yourself.

    Outdated ideals are fading, and the world can still be a good place. Whatever happens after we die, happens. We don't know, and if you'd like to reassure yourself, go ahead. But don't drag everyone else down.

  • @GAMERwithASOUL12

    Yeah, because anyone that believes anything other than what the church feeds you is a satanist? I don't think so. Why don't you just keep your opinion to yourself and allow others to make their own opinion. People like you want there to be a God so bad because you're afraid of the unknown. Believing in something just doesn't make it true. You people are so full of contradictions and backwards ass thinking it's amazing that you haven't gone extinct yet.

  • @GAMERwithASOUL12 so true the church is a joke that Jesus is probably ashamed of. so keep your bs cause the world would be a better place without these pedophiles.

  • this is the best song live new york¡

  • for all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the father, but is of the world.

  • for all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the father, but is of the world. watch your thoughts, aims and ambitions for just a short while and see if your mind is on health , the pleasures of the senses, or worldly gain. Then as these worldly thoughts appear, learn to reject them because now we are no longer set on the path of improving our human affairs, but on attaining the spiritual kingdom. '' love not the world, neithe

  • Jay Z i now respect you for your lyrics about jesus christ, I never liked you as a rapper before hand.

  • los pelos de punta :|

  • How do you know talent? When it kicks your head in. Look... I'm a 40 year old metal/rock loving white guy from the burbs of Chicago relocated to LA. I'm set in my ways. I don't get into rap/hip hop/R&B... blah blah blah. Then... Jay Z comes out at MSG with this f***ing ANGEL Bridget Kelly... and I'm eating ALL my words. Period. Never again will I say what I used to say. This song and that voice ... Im done. WOW. Can't believe I'm writing this.... blown the f**k away. Im shakin I love it so much.

  • @beautowise that's cool. do you think her voice sounds like a lead guitar in overdrive? i think that is one of the reasons keith richards of the rolling stones seemed to like their back up singer lisa fischer's voice...she could hit the really high notes that he could play on his guitar. check out their '97 live video of 'gimme shelter' here on youtube where she sings. really good voice.
