Jay Z Performs Empire State Of Mind At The Yankees Parade

[Krazyk408]

The only part i like about this song is alicia keys she has that sexy voice and Jay-Z lyrics sucks his lyrics are fake and a lot of jay-z tracks near the end of the verse he always raps fast trying to put.his verses in

[krissypooh78]

Where is Ms Keys at???

[The5lettersYMCMB]

oh he got his NY hear haha thats what you call puting on for ya city

[jpmfresno]

Look at all the stiffs in the background...lol

[VincentTownes]

WHEN IS THIS WORLD GONNA WAKE UP & REALIZE JAY-Z DISSED JESUS CHRIST IN THIS SONG!!!

[pokerguy94]

@VincentTownes Oh no! He dissed a fictional character!!!!

[djpolitical17]

who da fuck keep sayin werd in da fuckin backround yo

2:10

[TheBabybus318]

ALICIA'S 10 TIMES BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[crisoner]

Go Giants!

[musicfolife1]

He has a really heavy NYC accent. The synthesizers take that out he's still good you can tell this isn't lysunc. NYY JAYZ & SINATRA PEOPLE LOVM ALL LIKE THIS IF YOU DO TOO!

[eastonx71]

what with JAY-Z AND BRIDGET KELLY! ALICIA KEYS FTW

[BAM08BAM08]

I LUV MY GIRL ALICIA, AND, NEVER HEARD OF BRIDGET, UNTIL THAT DAY. BUT THIS CHILD BLEW THIS SONG OUT OF THE HEAVENS.

EVERY TIME I HEAR MY GIRL ALICIA SING IT. . . I THINK SHE'S SINGING MS. KELLY'S SONG W/JAY Z.

SORRY ALICIA. . . . I STILL LUV YOU!

BLESSINGS. . . .

[vorsdec]

2011 yankees, here comes #28.

[mikawhofan]

@vorsdec truer words have never been typed.. sorry soxs and phillies fans

[maxir9]

SF GIANTS!

[baleigh3]

Everyone is just stainding there, Lol.

[peterbuilt91]

De toute beauter (french) amazing song

[mava96]

they sound very "amateur" live... but at least they are for real ....

[ConConTHPS]

bridget kelly is hotter and i like her vocals better

[buenymat]

Shame we have to put up with Jay Z's egotistical rambling ("I'm the new Sinatra" - NOT!) to get to the amazing voice of Bridget Kelly. I love both BK and Alicia on this song, and guess I'll just have to put up Jay Z's tuneless blabber to get to them. Has anybody noticed, all rap singers sound the same.

[RandyRKOrton22]

I think BK is better than Alicia Keys :D

[lovelyethereal]

What about the mets?

[mikawhofan]

i would love this even more if the Yanks can make it no 28 this year.. Thumbs all if all my fellow Yankee fans agree

[00nicklock]

why is Bridget Kelly signing that song what happen to keys

[the09conradz]

the jay-z state of mind

[steven912]

Gotta love John Sterling looking for something in the sun at 1:52...hillarious!!!

[StevenSupernatural]

Lets Go Yanks! Long live NY!

[CamfrogHackers]

dam bloom berg Introducing jay z yea we did it BROOKLYN can;t stop us

[vorsdec]

Yeah, let's go Yankees. Red sox suck.

[BurrstoneCaz]

I feel "brand new" every time I hear this song!

[Mrgreatism]

Bridget Kelly did great, an amazing substitution for Alicia Keys, better than Rihanna. and oh yeah Alicia Keys' Empire State of Mind Pt 2 sucked ass. Jay makes this song and it would of been just as big if it was Jay and Bridget. She will be big watch under the wings of Jay and Roc Nation, her and J.Cole aka the Savior of South Rap will do great

[godwin1020]

YOU CANT HAVE BRIDGET KELLY SING ALICIA KEY'S SONG!!!!!!!!!

[jamaicanforeva]

white ppl looking around like wtf

[evil999]

@jamaicanforeva claping hand...super awkward

[Kyodaikuma]

I wish Alicia had more time to sing this song with Jay-Z...

[ProBinderSpinner]

THAT BITCH AINT ALICIA KEYS

[Littleguidofan]

I hate them Yankees always buying their championships but I luv the song, let's go mets

[fayeslover]

fuck the stankees, but i love the song

[rangerskickass30]

i hated her. she ruined the experience for me

[cbrand15]

LETS GO YANKS....28 COMING THIS YEAR!

[Truelady2010]

Greetings. Although Bridget does quite well with this song, her presence is just "blah" to me. The chemistry that Jay-Z and A. Keys have when performing together is AMAZING, you can feel the energy, and it's just overall a better mesh.

(Just my opinion) ... :-)

[UncleFooFoo68]

You have to laugh at John Sterling, GI Joe and Michael Kay in the background just standing there like typical white guys. At least Hal Steinbrenner's wife tries to get into it.

[UncleFooFoo68]

You have to laugh at John Sterling and Michael Kay in the background just standing there like typical white guys.

[thefameGaGa231]

jay z is a great rapper, but GREATEST, nooo. when u think of the greatest u think of 2pac, biggie, big l, eazy e, eminem, etc...

[EmpireStateXNyc]

@thefameGaGa231 Emienem? Lmao. Deff not. Jayz is way better then Em. Don't get me wrong Em is a good rapper, but theres a reason why Jayz is more popular and thats because hes lyrically matured more, Em still beefs with females, his rapping isnt as good as Jayz.

[thefameGaGa231]

@EmpireStateXNyc ok jay has matured but who has had better songs. in my opnion eminem, lose yourself, 8 mile, real slim shady, criminal, 313, many more. i agree em has gotta stop beefing w/ female artitsts though thats some pussy shit right there

[EmpireStateXNyc]

@thefameGaGa231 What i meant was Jay has matured in his lyrics, And thats why people have considered Jayz and Nas Lyrical Geneius, Where as Emienem is still rapping the same (Some people put it Corny) Lyrics, I do like some of Em's songs, and I like 8 mile, but Personally overall i like Jayz a bit more.

[thefameGaGa231]

@EmpireStateXNyc i got u. i just like em's flow more thats all. hes just a fav of mine like 2pac and big l

[rawrcheetos]

Alicia Keys holy shit she can belt out a tune

[babyrocker5]

It's actually Bridget Kelly :)

[SHIMSUHERU]

white people in the back wanna dance so bad..lol

[chomidore3]

the crowd not feeling it at all? Yeah, because it wasn't a concert. think about it.

[Dauragon123ko]

@chomidore3 because none of those Irish guys love that shit lol

[Pupon97]

he sound like crap alicia keys better

[crazybaseballdude12]

does anybody know why alicia didn't perform?

[CCJumpoff]

Jay wasn't trying to close the racial divide in racially segregated NY. He was acting as a humanitarian- fuck color. He is the Greatest Rapper Ever by virtue of body of work and his influence of popular culture. PERIOD. Not recognizing his efforts is one thing, but not having a complete appreciating for his work is stupidity.

[200nikesdeep]

i wanna know how jay z could get away with talking about cooking and selling coke on tv & in front of city hall ?

I guess they have no idea what hes talking about

[YaYaYankee]

YaYaYankees!

[thaicook]

Bridget Kelly was a bit off in this clip but check out her performance on the Jonathan Ross show, she stole the show from JZ, she was the epitome of heart & soul and she made my hair stand on end, Alicia Keys is good but she's also got her head stuck up her own arse - strutting around like a tart.

Bridget Kelly appears to be over the moon with this gig and I can't blame her - only applaud her, she's humble and that's a wonderful trait, seriously, check her out on the Jonathan Ross show.

[EmpireStateXNyc]

@thaicook A'keys is so down to earth and real, and not to mention very bright who self taught from the start on how to play the piano, and when she sings live its amazing as were alot of artist (Like Ashanti,Mariah Carey sometimes) Are horrible in person, Alcia is so beautiful inside and out, and i don't really know anything about Jonathon Ross, just working with jayz.

[micaVLAN]

yo you can get free premium ring tones now at TripTones . com just enter ur cell number!!

[DeadManMcOwnage]

girl = epic fail

[test05123]

that girl is much much worse than alicia...

[truerank]

Why would the Yankee Brass and City Officials invite Jay-Z to perform when they all just stand there like a bunch of stiffs?

[allsports4]

Bridget kelly aint such a great live performer

[MuffinsVids]

Bridget Kelly is fucking horrible way better with Alicia

[DJSAL415]

look at all the white mothafuckas in the background just standing there,,they don't know bout good music,,,all these faggots know it's opera and classical music,,,,fuck whites

[venomdeath75]

da crowd aint on dat

[EmpireStateXNyc]

@mikawhofan Agreed! I love Jayz dedication to his hometown, Ny Forever!

[TheFender2010]

@mikawhofan:

"After all how many ppl make their way to New York with nothing more then a dream and a couple of bucks"

And how many of them actually achieve that dream? Very few, if you're being realistic.

F

[mikawhofan]

@TheFender2010 I never said realistically because more often then not they become another failed artist/musician/ etc living in the big city. what I was trying to say is that they have a better chance here. trying to live their dream

[dtwhitehouse]

@mikawhofan no need to defend new york city, its doing fine. you wanna see a mess in new york city, check the 70's.

<---- new york native, although upstate, born in albany and unfortunately relocated in CT.

[kissrk2]

the grl sucks

[BrendanX13]

Hahah yeah, the girl is an awufl live performer.

[TheAark]

Dude the female accompanist was absolutely terrible in my opinion...

And the crowd was not feeling it all!

Whats with them?

But awesome anyway

[vietboikhoa]

dont like the yanks, but god they are the epitome of a great team lead by the best leader, JETER!

[chucksnoopy]

hehehe the guy in the back dos not understand !! hehe

[RubenJr209]

nobody's feelin it haha

[TheRandomestRetards]

Go Yanks

[BrooklynEagle]

BTW, I still can't figure out what in the hell Johnny Sterling was doing in the background (0:00, 0:50)! Who was he looking for?!?!? LOL! He's still the motherfucking man! (YANKEES WIN! THEEEEEEEEEE YANKEES WIN!!!)

And another thing, Michael Kay looked like a mob boss out there...It figures Danny Aiello is his uncle. :)

Again--great season, great parade, a great day (even though it was freezing like crazy!). Only the Bronx Bombers can do BIG things like that after bringing a title home.

[BrooklynEagle]

27-Time World Champs, you punk-asses! :) Got my Yankee fitted (the '1923-2008' navy one) on right now as I type this! YEAH!!!!!!

But to the obvious...what a great day that was--a Friday, too! It was MAD cold out here!!! Still fire. We STILL did the DAMN thing!

Bee K.--who's not a bad looking girl--sounded aiight. She has a decent future... But of course Hov with Miss Keys sounds much more authentic (especially @ Game 2 in The Stadium!). Everything was still good, though. Again, great day!

[volkotes]

pinche video culeroo

[SpitFireBuz]

@ KAEkvall  u are sooooo right!!!!!!

[KAEkvall]

Jay Z totally rocked this. Don't get me wrong, Bridget is pretty darn good, but it just doesn't feel right without Keys' more powerful and textured vocals.

[baldwinfights]

got that right lol

[proudmommy06606]

ok, i'm not going to get in to "alicia keys is better than briget kelly" because i think they're equally talented... but... if i had to choose i would say ALICIA all the way...

[modelcitizen73m]

What happened... normally Jay Z is the weakest part of the song... then you add this girl, and this script is flipped.

[dejism]

wheres alicia.alicia is better than bk.

[NewyoricanQueen]

i dont like how she sings @ all.isnt she the girl who performed at the msg cocert.

[Cleavon05]

and she DEFINETLY dont look like Alicia. Its bad enough that one one ugly MFkr is in it

[Cleavon05]

alicia keys is better. this girls voice aint smoothe like alicia's

[melisa244]

she is better than Alicia! Bridgets voice is much stronger.

[JewelAngel]

LOL false. Alicia shits all over this bitch.

[mantheman100]

hahah alicia sucks jayz's dick all the time

[TheTaylorlauntner]

a;lica keys way better <3

[taninhatex]

Alicia Keys is better!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ErnestoCaro84]

alicia keys is 1.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.­000. billions times better than this girl ...this song is not the same without alicia

[PenguinvsPats]

Yo I was there Lets go yankees 28 in 2010

[cowboysfan1964]

where Alicia at?

[bdogx]

sign me up babeeee;)

[LaMamie03]

AWW great job Jay- z us new yorkers love you

[kakarote2010]

Bridget Kelly is the BEst!!!

[cntalkshow]

Watch SNL's Rachel Dratch and Billy Eichner's spoof of Empire State of Mind at youtube / cntalkshow DRATCH AND EICHNER start an UPPER MIDDLE CLASS WHITE BOY BEEF WITH STEPHEN COLBERT!! It's awesome.

[UncleOlly]

I've seen this vid just a few days ago at MTV.

Alicia is a very good singer / performer but this song is still living by the powerfull voice of Bridget Kelly.

What a song! By far the best i've heard for the last 10 years.

[spetrus]

Bridget Kelly was great. She has a much better voice than alicia keys. Much more swagger and soul. But the logical choice for this part would have been Brooklyn's own Lil Kim. anybody know why Jay didn't pick kim? they have beef?

[ninacleveland]

@spetrus

because Lil Kim can't sing. duhhh

[EmpireStateXNyc]

@spetrus Alicia keys has the most soul in what she does then any artist i know.

[WWEMAN153]

yeah wtf that chick was also there when jay z did his new york concert i mean WTF

[yankeesfreak]

who the fuck is that girl

[Dami424]

wow i hate that alicia is not there she is the part i like from this song

[insanejap911]

This song is great, but Alicia is irreplaceable.

So sad she couldnt be there.

[NyanNyanxo]

u kno if there were more younger adults the crowd would atleast have some more life into it. The song is good with either alicia or bridget but bridget sounds kinda scratchy but not too badly in my opinion :P

[mikawhofan]

still think Jay-z is full of himself..

make the Yankee cap more famous then a yankee can?  since when..

[bujinnineko]

@mikawhofan i didn't like that line either

[ninacleveland]

@mikawhofan

Yea! Jayz , P Diddy, and the others made the NY cap very famous. That's how I know the NY symbol for the Yankees. Those guys wear the New York Yankee cap a LOTS. They made is very famous.

[DJDAD3]

Bridget Kelly sings okay but Alicia Keys would be better. Great Performance though. I like when C.C. comes out at the end!

[veralola]

LOVE IT, but i think ALICIA SHOULD BE THERE!! Would Be perfect!!

[LuisaLuvzMusic]

bridget kelly canNOT sing alicia keys' part....it just sucks balls, and not the good kind either..trust me P: lmao

[marisol2309]

Bridget it's AMAZING but let's not forget Alicia's trayectory, and You can't deny she's a great singer too. hope this won't be just a one hit wonder for Bridget Kelly.

[spetrus]

Bridget is way better than alicia keys. Bridget's voice is more soulful, and she has more of a stage presence. alicia has never been to nail down this song in a live performance. this song belongs to bridget

[rrh199018]

i bet Alicia is pissed mad over Kelly taking her parts, i would be if i was a singer, its not cool stealing lines, its not cool to do that.

[WALTHENDRICKS]

LOVE IT

[WALTHENDRICKS]

LOVE IT

[DeafTuber]

Wow, I bet Bridget must love this new life of traveling everywhere and being on stage so much! :-)

[nepats3912]

Even now this World Series victory hasn't sunk in. Truly Amazing.

Mission 28 begins in April.

[samuraigodzilla]

Bridget Kelly is awesome

[OroroMunroe2]

I think Alicia is still better live

[PopMusic911]

bridget cant sing so high vocals.. its not good to listen. Alicia sings her part better

[crazyhorse1888]

u deaf fukwit

[wildboyselders09]

she stole Alicia keys boots....lol she suck

[matt94lol]

sounds like both their voices are mad raspy

[scrumpleberry]

Agreed - Alicia also writes. She has as much talent, but in different areas and styles.

Prefer the Bridget version though :)

[PoidaPweter]

what is wrong with the crowd they look like the living dead get into the spirit and music people

[stuffedanimal321]

man wheres alicia!!! She makes the song awsome..this girl up there is phony baloni!! GO ALICIA!!

[x0tru3xo]

i think bridget kelly is better trhan alcia keys or whatever

[spetrus]

I love Alicia, but Bridgit sings this song with more passion. She has more swagger and soul and far more range in her voice. Jay Z should drop Alicia and stick with Bridgit.

[batistawwenba]

be with mets no way yanks

[orion3448]

jay-z could of done better at singing at ny

[GuitarHeroGod1244]

where the hell is alicia shes the reason why this song is what it is today
