What up, A? What up, B? Fellas, fellas, fellas, you wanna kick it with these ladies, better put it in a love song! Sounds more like a kick-ass workout song not so much L-O-V-E. Good one, nonetheless. Enjoy!
Is that some Drake in the background? Sure is. Get ready for a new single from Alicia's upcoming album The Element of Freedom.
With the touch of Jay-Z, you shall be golden. Miss Alicia Keys performed "Empire State Of Mind 2," which makes a sweet lullaby, "Doesn't Mean Anything" and "No One" for the X Factor audience. Rihanna took the stage as well performing "Russian Roulette."
Never expected an anthem like "Empire State of Mind" to be topped, but the a second version from Alicia Keys brings it back home as a soulful Manhattan ballad. Let's here it for NEW YORK, the greatest place to survive.
While Rihanna was across the way in Times Square performing for Good Morning America, Miss Alicia Keys took over the Today Show for her own little concert. Here's "Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart." Enjoy!
"No One"
"Empire State of Mind" minus Jiggaman... smooth, sweet version
Miss Alicia Keys took the AMA stage again with her power ballad "Try Sleeping With A Broken." She attempts to be one of those pop artists who can learn a choreography and sing, but really she does her best behind the keys.
Yankee's second favorite Alex Rodriguez introduced Jay-Z and Alicia Keys to the AMA stage for their performance of "Empire State of Mind." This sing never gets old and making all that LA audience sing along shoots New York to the number one slot! Hov looked fine an a young Sinatra, while the always-beautiful Alicia Keys gave it her all. Mad props to Lil Mama for not ruining this one.
Miss Alicia Keys took over the floor during tonight's Dancing With The Stars for a live performance of "Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart."
Really want to see Alicia Keys in concert, but can’t justify buying that oddly expensive ticket? Well don’t. Billboard Live and its partner OWL.tv (Our World Live) along with Microsoft and MTV bring live concerts to users worldwide via live stream. Finally fans and artists will be reunited for free.99 and as if it couldn’t get better, no large heads, tall people or overly anxious annoying fans to ruin your concert experience. Self service drinks and food from the comfort of your own kitchen and hey, if you can’t catch the concert live, play it on demand.
Sounds like utopia, right? Well fans will have a great viewing experience depending on their bandwidth, but you can’t help to feel a loss of that in-person feeling when you see your favorite artist perform. There’s a personal connection to attending a live event, trying to get the best pictures and even some good video footage for your YouTube page. Sure, you’ll be in front of your computer singing along to songs, but have no fear, you won’t really be alone! Connect with others watching the same concert via Facebook and Twitter applications right on the page. Social media really is taking over our livelihoods.
And what does this mean for advertisers? More. Money. Billboard Live plans to reach 90 million people worldwide every week and advertisers better be ready to shift their budgets into the digital realm. Like any concert experience, users should be ready for heavy promotions, sponsorships and in-your-face marketing. It’s the price you pay for a free show. Billboard Live’s lineup is currently very, very short — Alicia Keys, R. Kelly, Imogen Heap, Usher, David Archuleta and Daughtry – expect more artists to be added soon.

As the Yankees stand 27 outs away from winning their 27th World Series Championship, the Empire can't help but feel electric right now. Sure, our boys are two hours away on foreign Philly soil feeling absolutely no brotherly love when they take their places on that field tonight, but New Yorkers can feel the success. Here's the new video from Jay-Z and Alicia Keys for "Empire State of Mind" -- precisely released around the World Series. Hey, an anthem's an anthem!
And just for the record... the Philadelphia version doesn't even compare to the original. Couldn't even come up with your own chorus -- Philly, you are NOT a concrete jungle and, sorry, your streets don't make me feel brand new. They make me feel dirty. Very dirty.
Jay and Alicia couldn't kick off the World Series with New York's anthem, but they got it together and just right for Game 2. Welcome to the concrete jungles, bitches... Jay made the Yankees cap more famous than the Yankees can... Ahh, that's right, kids! SING IT!
2010 is gonna be the year of Alicia Keys. The big ballad girl is back and "Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart" is a killer. Who done you wrong Miss Keys? Oh wait... Regardless. Tilt ya head back and sway to this one. Go ahead, cry, I won't tell.
Awww! Aren't lovebirds the cutest thing E-V-E-R?! Swizzy's got not qualms about tweeting his flirt with Miss Alicia Keys and why should he? He's Swizzy. He can flirt with who-the-hell-ever he pleases. Shit, I've been trying holla at him to get ink my next tat. Alicia, help a sister out! Watch All Hip-Hop's VMA interview with the man himself and NOTE the AK chain he's rockin'. Love is in the air!
As for that other limelight crasher, Lil Mama, she's had her two minutes on stage and now it's O-V-E-R. She's one bossy biatch, but no one, and really NO ONE, cares for her antics. Or HER for that matter. Alicia Keys spills her thoughts on the stage crash, "We can appreciate her being overwhelmed, but we would have appreciated if she did it from her seat." Yeah EVERYONE would have appreciate that. Can Hip-Hop drop Lil Mama like the bad habit she is and send her off to... well anywhere.
Pretty much what we all expected from Jay-Z.... here's the official tracklist. All his best buddies and names that hope to be riding off his status. Kid Cudi, Drake, Mr. Hudson... they all have Jay's permission to be heard. Really wished Jigga would release a Jay-only album, this compilation crap is so mixtape-ish.
