I love this song! It totally embodies NYC. I'm from California but this should be the anthem for NY. It's such an amazing place. Everyone should go at least once.
I went to New York, and when I listen this song I can feel and remember everything that passed to me there. This song is magic and New York is magic too. It is my favourite place of the world. My fist time that I listened this song I cried a lot. New York forever <3
Hey Alicia and friends - be a 'road warrior' with us! For people who love music, New York, road trips & travel. Members worldwide. See our profile. 'Like' the FB page. Hit the road! JR
Its a shame that I dont have the voice for it: when I go back to NYC I want to belt the hell out of this song in Times Square. This hasn't stopped me from belting it at home..doesnt sound quite as good *shrug*
Yo I'm a producer tryin to spread out the word about my beats. I remixed "Rock Wit U" by Alicia, old school classic type of vibe, feel free to check it out, and sorry if you thought I was spamming!
I remember when I went to New York last year, it was like a living dream. I had this constant impression to be in a movie. I just couldn't help it, walking in the streets = Manhattan, taking a taxi = Taxi Driver, listening to music = Unplugged Alicia Keys, going to Brooklyn = Crooklyn, meeting a nice guy = New York I love you...The day I was supposed to go back home, a volcano erupted in Island so I was stuck in the city for a while...It was just like destiny saying "C'mon girl, you belong here"
@Glamglitzglitterlove Well why are you listening to her. There are plenty of other videos where she sang live with a clearer sounding voice. Her voice just developed that raspy tone to it fand she purposely sing like that to add soulful effect to the song. She's till amazing live. She just hadd off days.
This song is just not the same without Jay-Z. I mean, Jay-Z has a true talent for ruining music. This soulful piano ballad is just squandered without the use of Jay-Z's power to destroy.
dasmokey1980.visited new york 2010.great city.great people.sad to see the devastation caused by fanatics.Glad to see that its being built up again.The new yorkers are very resiliant and will come back stronger from thedisaster on that tragic day.we love the city.The people are friendly.
I usually dont put likes on youtube but for this particular video, JUST FOR THIS ONE, i have to, otherwise something is definitely wrong with me, pure class, absolutely spectacular, perfectionist. well fucking done!
Now Angels have a voice : she his called Alicia KEYS (désormais les anges ont une voix, elle s'appelle Alicia KEYS). Pour moi l'une des meiklleures vidéo de cette chanson. J'ai beau l'écouter en boucle, j'ai toujours la "chaire de poule". J'aime cette femme éperdument (pardon ma chérie Any), sa voix m'emmène toujours plus haut. Je voudrais juste que cette chanson ne finisse jamais..... Je t'aime Alicia....
what happened is such: there were so many likes, the like button broke... so they used the dislike button as an overflow... so the 135 people who disliked were liking it as well... but they had to use the dislike button instead.
I like this even more than the Jay Z version.
