  • as a new yorker I'm going to keep it real we dont like tourist!!! stay where u r from thank u that is all

  • @Metsfan102 So your ancestors should have stayed in Africa or Asia or wherever they were from. There are no natives in U.S.A. but indians, man.

  • Such a powerful voice.

  • I prefer this part.

  • i prefer the original. at the same time i cant stand Jay Z's verses

  • Nada me gustaría más que poder andar un día por sus calles, sería un sueño hecho realidad.

    Un saludo a todos los neoyorquinos desde Alicante, España.

  • The city want to try using some of this track in their next tourist campaign (if they haven't, already). Makes me want to go there - which the Jay-Z version doesn't..!

  • I hate this. where' s jay-z... where' s the heavy drummer? where the epic piano -.-

  • @LUXXXable Matter of taste Rite?

  • @LUXXXable Obviously not here.. Go watch the Original

  • @lovinmyboys111 Like any metropolis, New York has its highs and lows. While I would never live there, I agree that everyone should visit it at least once.

  • just love it <3

  • This song played while on the plane to France while on my senior trip in high school. This was the anthem of the trip. We screamed in down the avenues and cobble stone roads. Its such a nice memory I have for such a great song!

  • This always makes me want visit nyc. And I will, that's for sure...

  • @iangrapher  me to imma go for sure to see buddy from cake boss and eat some of his famous deserts

  • @iangrapher I went there last year, and it's great :) I had the time of my life :)

  • @iangrapher you don't want to trust me. I live there (and now Suffolk County) and if you're used to quiet areas, good luck

  • NYC  :-) NIGHT YET COLD

  • I want to go nyc

  • wtf is this??? JAY-Z 4EVER!!

  • @HardGiGoMo It's called "singing".

  • @ohcmeon ahaah yes i think that alicia is a very good singer but the version with jay-z is the best song ever!!:)it's much better than this!

  • 36 people from Boston watched this video

    

  • my city NY 

  • BIG Lights will inspire you...Is true that the biggest lights are in New York

  • @mihnea189 False. The biggest light is VY Canis Majoris, a star approximately 5000 light years from Earth.

  • krasná

    

  • this is an inspirational new york song :)

  • this song ALWAYS motivates me :D <3

    thanks Alicia :)

  • Wonderful Music. I love Alicia Keys

  • i love this song. 50th time in a row. HOORAHHH

  • When I hear this song I remember 9/11. Sending my love to the victims! Remembering the heroism. The brave men & women. The troops. We become alive in the time of fear.

  • @KaffkaDave too bad 911 was an attack imposed by the us govt themselves

    

  • Betonowa dżunga, gdzie rodzą się sny,

    Nie możesz nic już zrobić,

    Teraz jesteś w Nowym Jorku,

    Te ulice sprawią, że poczujesz się nowiutki,

    Duże światła cię zainspirują,

    Usłyszmy to dla Nowego Jorku, Nowego Jorku, Nowego Jorku!

  • Rising. Ground Zero.

  • She's fit, shes talented.= Best thing.

  • This song always makes me cry! :')

  • IN NEW YORK, CONCRETE JUNGLE WET DREAM TOMATO. @1:08

  • @dumdumlolipop That's funny but lyric is reallt "In New York, Concrete Jungle where dreams are made of". :)

  • holy shit this song really showcases her angellic voice.

  • just simply amazing

  • I love this song because i can relate to it, even though I'm from LA. I just change NEW YORK TO LA. The way she describes it sounds exactly like LA. "concrete jungle" "avenue has no curfew" "in a place of movie scenes" "streets are mean" "sirens" -- I mean everything is LA and NY too

  • Comment removed

  • @jerseyirish L.A has it's perks just like NYC. But I admit, NYC has this oomph about it that makes me want to go there. Either way, LA has Hollywood, beaches, warm-sun roundly, a planetarium on the highest mountain, museums, broadway musicals, festivals every weekend, EVERY THEME PARK, studios in which movies are created, and so on so... I mean, it's a fascinating place. I love the culture, diversity, and excitement. LA represent entertainment. I love LA and NYC!

  • i wish i am from ney york ^^

  • que genial la canción

  • damn that is a really good pic of her !!!!!!!!! Stand up NY !

  • smashing song, smashing singer.. great.

  • This is why i am so proud to be from New York, the music and culture. I'm a guy, and i must say, I've been listening to this song over and over again. NEW YORK STAND UP!

  • Don't really like the song, lyrics aren't that brilliant either. If you want to hear a proper song about the City - what about New York State of Mind by Nas?

  • @xXIbanezJamesXx haters gonna hate

  • @xXIbanezJamesXx This songs lyrics are great and its inspiring and has a great melody, its better then listening to repeated talk about shooting someone with several types of guns, that isnt what new york is about and that isnt what the city is like.

  • @xXIbanezJamesXx Nas is the dirty gum stuck on the bottom of Alicia's highheels. Your comment's a joke.

  • swizz beatz is a luckyyyyy azzzz mannnn lol

  • I can listen this song 24/7 so relax..idk..it's beautiful song

    P.S. the picture is dream <3

  • Comment removed

  • I want to live in New York <3

  • Who else like Alicia's version better than Jigga?! It just REALLY make you feel like you from New York if you from backwoods tennessee. I listened to this like everyday for like 3 months when her CD came out. ♥

  • i love it

  • NEW YORK! CONCRETE JUNGLE WET DREAM TOMATO!

  • @kevman4189 hahaha i agree now when i sing i say or understand wet dream tomato ahhaah

  • @kevman4189 where dreams are made of

  • @kevman4189 there's nothing you can't do (with wet dream tomato!!)

  • Comment removed

  • This version is nice but it's not like the original version. The main piano & drums don't come until the last 30 seconds of the song. And in my opinion it adds to the feel of being in New York. Jay-Z's lyrics also summarize New York a little better. I guess Alicia Keys thought she had to put her own rendition on the album, but when you put them side to side I don't think they match.

  • This song soars like the buildings in lower Manhattan.

  • new york stand up... esp all the native ny'ers 

  • This Song Is Ahmazing :) And WAAAAY Better Without Jay z He Ruined it . But i Love This <3

  • I never realized how much i loved New YOrk until Empire State of Mind...:) It also reminds me how much better NYC is than LA

  • Mmmhmm Alicia you hit the right keys again.

  • fucking awesome song.

  • "...my monkeys found on Broadway" LOL WUT?

  • @muffemod It's marquee's.

  • @muffemod

    My name found among keys on broadway :)

  • @SacredCowEater OH NOW I GET IT

  • She is pretty 2 me, sings really well, and her music is SO pretty 2 me..! :]

  • So sexy

  • Nigga this if sick man It cold

  • @Woods994 What?

  • @Woods994 What the fuck are you talking about???

  • Great song, but anyone who thinks this is better without Jay-Z is high

  • @TheUistheBest I agree, i dont even really like rap but this is missing that beat that made me fall in love with this song!

  • @2hopelessromantic exactly the two different styles of music completely mesh well together

  • I always get my friend to play this for me! He is amazing at Piano!! Me and my bestfriend sing along aswell:D <3

  • Baby I'm from Englaaaand.

  • Omg I love Alicia keys and I love new York -3 I like this song and the song with jay-z too :)

  • Sooooo much better without Jay-Z.

  • 30 people have, obviously, never been to New York City.

  • :)

  • She is sooooo pretty ..... !!! I love Alicia Keys

  • heeel mooi, glennis grace zingt hem ook mooi. ;)

  • Stunning, soaring vocals and wonderfully uplifting and heartfelt lyrics. Love it!

  • wow all of all this has been here only 29 dislike wow and of course i love this song

  • Every time this song ends,i imagine i can hear a huge crowd cheering.

  • j'adore encore plus cette version à la première

  • Most people say: part 1 is better; or part 2. But I like them both. :D

  • @xxisolde Me too. This one is like a ballad, the other ones for jamming to for me :)

  • I like part one a million times better

  • I just went to NYC for the first time about two months ago and it was the best week of my life. NYC has an amazing energy to it. It really is unlike anything I have ever seen or felt.

  • NICE!!

  • Love this version!!! WAY better than the one with Jay-Z. I still like the collaboration though. :)

  • PART II the only !

  • This version is way better than something Jay Z could ever do.

  • @mft93

    hell yea

  • its a shit hole, like stapleford, notts

  • i like this song

  • luv it!!!!!!!!!

  • new york concrete jungle wet dream tomatoo

  • Jeah!

  • Beautful, that's all you can say!!

  • "Concrete Jungle"-- one of the best descriptions of New York I've heard.

  • i have never been in new york but i want to go. i heard new york is tough living there but its worth it.

  • She is so god damn pretty.. and has such a great voice.

  • These streets will make you feel brand new..Big lights will inspire you! This is how i feel everytime i walk in downtown manhattan at night.

  • nj born ny inspired

  • I live in NYC. No place on earth like it. The song does it justice.

  • @mattjackleroy i went to NYC last month very very cold but was cool still

  • @xjay1234 Hi xj. This winter has been exceptionally cold; usually not that bad. It makes the coming of Spring that much more enjoyable. Hope you come back to visit soon.

  • @mattjackleroy yes it was VERY VERY cold fucking hell!!! but yeah i will be back for sure!!!!! when it is warmer! LOL cos i liked it there I live in London - NYC and London on the same level really just different scenery - when i next go there i will chat up some New York girls :P haha

  • @xjay1234 London is NYC with a slightly different accent. Check out L.A. next time you come to the States. I lived there for a few years...nice place, but somehow, the energy and excitement of NYC is incomparable. Enjoy.

  • @mattjackleroy yeah City of Angels yes i will check it out sometime!!!! WARM beach girls :P Santa Monica Beach <33 damn LA couldn't handle moi!!!!!!

  • @mattjackleroy L.A. sucks full of gangs and drug dealers.

  • Why all the "So much better than Part I, like OMG". Without Part I, there would be no Part II. Enjoy em both. Thank you.

  • Best part @ 3.00 nice beat:) way better then part one!!

  • I LIKED VERY MUCH ¡¡¡
