After Swizzy recites the chorus of “On To The Next One”, Alicia and Jigga perform “Empire State of Mind” for the first time together inside the world’s famous arena. Hands up!

Man, miss me with the fake Jay and B quotes already. Headlines. Some of you sites will do anything for attention and traffic. You really believed B would speak to Star magazine? Tuck your tabloid in. And why would Hov need to write a letter to his daughter? Bitch please. He wrote a song! It's called "Glory" and it's pretty fuckin' revealing. He went on the record (double entendre) but you still don't get it. You may hear baby Blue's first cries but no you don't know her height, weight or what she looks like. And no you ain't gettin' a flick, fool. Can new parents get some privacy? Even if they are celebrities. Sheesh! Who raised you animals? Party at the 40/40. Paps outside. Rushin' the velvet rope. Don't trip over your integrity.
Put us here if you like. The RR store stays open 24/7. SOPA? Yeah we Showcase Our Product Always. And we're gonna continue straight ahead til somebody up there turns out the lights. Start from scratch? I'm not afraid.
Wait, how many times is Jay gonna perform at MSG during this tour??? I hope this is old, and if it is, then it’s kinda sad that u niggaz jus posted this up 2 weeks after the show passed.

Well, lets see. Alicia had a show last night. The video CLEARLY says 3-17-10. And with today being the 18th. When do u think this went down???
Swizz comin out like that was lame as fck lol..
AS MUCH AS I LOVE JAY-Z, I’M SICK OF ‘EM!!! NEXT TIME I HEAR EMPIRE STATE ON THE RADIO IMMA GO CHRIS BROWN ON MY STEREO!!!!
FUCK THE JUDAS OF THE WORLD!!!!
[...] Alicia Keys performed at Madison Square Garden last night and brought out Jay-Z, Beyonce & Swizz Beatz as surprise guests. You can check out the Jay-Z, Alicia Keys & Swizz Beatz performance after the jump! Props to Rapradar. [...]
Alicia keys would be a good live show.
Was Jay wearing the Rocafella chain?
Acapella you seem mad homie
I gotta agree with that comment, I was sick of Empire State Of Mind not long after it came out cuz Jay-Z whored the song & played it 5 times a day, was a good album…he could of mixed it up some more….then when I found out someone else wrote it, then he changed a few things on it….I was like fuk this wack shit.
PS, I am a big Jay-Z fan, but not a rap radar/Jay-Z stan like most on here.
^^^^
So who was Jay’s ghostwriter for “Empire State of Mind”
^^
Only the hook that Alicia Keys Sings on “ESOM” was written by someone else…A.Keys changed a lil bit of the words but the hook & beat is pretty much the same as the original.
Alicia keys dances like an old white man LOLZ
^^LMAO
@B. Dot
Mannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn, my bad. It was 10:14 in the a.m. when I wrote that shit. Lol. I’m still juiced off the show @ the Palace of Auburn Hills Sunday, so with all due respect, fuck MSG. Lol. And fuck that got damned Alicia Keys and Beyonce performance.
@Biggar
Lol. Nope, was jus up early, not mad. Not mad now either. Jus sick of the same damn boring ass headlines in music. Can a nigga get a new Kanye song or somethin’??? Post a headline that matters ya’ll. C’mon!
And last comment, I swear. I am sick of “Empire State of Mind”. They played that shit out a month after the album came out. Sorry Jay, but u gotta stop performing that shit 4 a couple months man…And don’t get it twisted ya’ll, I’m one of the BIGGEST Jay-Z fans ever in my opinion. Not hatin’, I’m jus sayin’…
I think Jay’s heart must be getting softer when it comes to Dame as I can’t believe he’s wearing that chain. I could be wrong…
Just to clarify, that was NOT the first time “Empire State of Mind” has been performed by Jay & Alicia at MSG. That would be the 9/11 concert.
JayZ will always win cus ppl keep his name in their mouth, if u didn’t care about JayZ u wudn’t have clicked on this link and took the time to write about how much u gettin’ tired of him, case closed…

Just to clarify, ur wrong. that was Bridgete Kelly not Alicia keys.
HOV THE G.O.A.T
BEST RAPPER ALIVE
THE ROC CHAIN IS BACK. NOW HATERS STOP PRETENDING U DON’T EMPIRE STATE COS U LOVE SOO MUCH AND U CAN’T GET ENOUGH OF IT.
EMPIRE STATE OF MIND IS ONE OF THE GREATEST SONG OF ALL TIME, SO HATERS GET USED TO IT COS U GONNA BE HEARING IT ALOT.
ROC CHAIN IS BACK
IT’S NY FELLAS…as much as we’re tired of the song (which im really not cuz the joint is so powerful) it doesn’t make since if they dont do it…and I was at the NY show and that definitely wasn’t A. Keys (she was like the only one who wasnt there)!!!

i’m tired of it too. i would’ve had a good time singing it if i was there, tho. the energy was right from alicia, jay, & the crowd. good times seemed to be had by all.
Caught Jay_Z and company at MSG and yes, he was dope. However, they played Empire on the big screen along with some bullsh*t documentary just before Hov came out, so by the time he did it with Bridgette Kelly, you were over it. So he comes BACK to the garden not even a whole month later with the upgrades – the real Alicia, Swizzy and Beyonce!!! Where the hell were they when I had to put up with those 30 ashy niccas (yes you, Jeezy, for example) jumping all over the gatdurn stage at the March 2 show?! smh
Alicia Keys has a crystal clear voice that sounds beautifully;*`
i think that Alicia should have joined the miss usa pageant, she is very beautiful ,;`
