Rapper Jay-Z and recording artist Alicia Keys performed in front of the sell-out crowd at Yankee Stadium with a rendition of the Big Apple anthem “Empire State of Mind” on Thursday night. I guess they got the whole place amped because the Yankees beat the Phillies in Game 2. Peep video of the performance below.

WTF is lil’ mama?
the performance is not the same without her.
^^ What he said..:]
@Cublktigress
Sorry but you are not correct. Alicia Keys did not commit any Adultery PERIOD.
You are speculating and you are 100% Wrong. And R Kelly is a totally different situation. No person like you said is without sin. I never said Alicia Keys is perfect but she dam sure is not guilty of any Adultery. And Swizz is an Adult and if he wanted out of the Marriage that is his choice. Swizz’s wife is behaving very immaturely and she is the one who keeps brining Alicia’s name up. Alicia has enough class not to respond to these baseless allegations and her FANS know she has nothing to do with Swizz not wanting to be with his X wife anymore. The Twitter incidents (and she has taken to twitter and Gossip Blogs Multiple times) show how desperate Swizz’s wife has become.
Alicia’s character is SOLID.
Swizz has made the choice he wants to move in without his X and that does not fall into Adultery.
I like the boots, just not with this ensemble. Jay-Z does look happier with other females. He always smile. He and Beyonce just got married because they were expected to.
@ furious styles
Maybe he did want out of the marriage but HELLO he’s still married. If you consult Webster’s dictionary you would see that if you’re married and messing with other people and the person you’re messing with is committing adultery. If Swizz wants nothing to do with Mashonda then that’s him and her, but it still does not change the fact that it is adultery. You dont have to be having sex with that person to commit adultery. They been an item way before the twitter incident and before the birth of his son. They may not have been sexually involved but involvement of the emotions and quality time is the same thing. Sorry, but yes she is and he is and who knows maybe Mashonda is too an adulterer. So what, she’s not the first and won’t be the last that just how life works sometimes. It’s karma you gotta watch out for. Not the bloggers or opinions of others, but karma as she sings is that real bitch. You can believe what you want and btw I like her music too, but that doesn’t mean I have to agree with everything Alicia keys the person does. Being a true fan is not turning a blind eye but being able to see through the bs and like them despite their flaws.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
I expect the Carter divorce next year. smh. Jay prolly lost 20$ million in that Beyonce chick, with all the expensive gifts, vacations, rings..etc. Jigga only wasted his time with Bey Bey Beyitch!
Too thick…..no sense of fashion whatsoever…
Alicia looks cute. very classy and fancy.
They got all hyped just like Lil Momma did, after performing that song.
@ Cublktigress
You can keep typing the same lie over and over that does not then make it into FACT. Just like when Swizz’s X takes to Twitter with her nonsensical drama also does not make it true. I see you are very LITERAL and in your mind it’s adultery until the Divorce is final and that is 100% not true. I get so tired of people who act like it’s biblical days. LOL Once Swizz separated from his wife (which he was) and AFTER he informed her that he wanted a DIVORCE and After a lawyer is hired to move forward with Divorce proceedings it’s fine for Swizz to look into other relationships. That is the end of that marriage. Swizz has done the responsible thing. And please spare me like you know so much about when Swizz began talking to Alicia. You only know what you know from his X Wife’s account of things which is totally false. If you read any of her tweets you will discover this woman is desperate to ingratiate herself on to Alicia to get a response and to help with her settlement and new BOOK.
So just be careful you are not Alicia’s Keys’ Judge you worry about you and stop typing BS about Alicia being an Adultery. She has shown nothing in the past that would lead you to beleive she would destroy a marriage. And if she did do that I would NEVER support her. I go by what Alicia has shown and the person she is. Not Internet gossip and a scorned woman who has no life. Her beef should be with one person Swizz. Stop calling out Alicia’s name. And you need to stop associating her name with R. Kelly’s you’re not slick.
SMH People just love to hate on other people’s relationships. There are plenty of pictures with Jay Z smiling with Beyonce. Google it.
Just because he’s not smiling doesn’t mean anything. No one knows anything about their marriage.
1. Where’s Lil Mama?

3. This was a great oppurtunity for both of them, glad to see two artists share it together! This song gets it poppin in the club too

#’s 1-10 took the words right out of my damn mouth!
WELL I JUST DON’T KNOW SO I’LL KEEP IT MOVIN!
Ya’ll females kill me hating on people constantly…”homewrecker” this and “homewrecker” that..when the only side you have even heard of the story is Moshanda’s. Swizz and Alicia have been together a while now, their relationship is nothing new..the only reason why some people are talking about it is because before this, Alicia didn’t have any shade in her background. Before some people used to call her a lesbian and now she’s a homewrecker. Please, Swizz has said a while ago that it was Moshanda that was holding up the divorce proceedings because she wanted more money, it was all over the blogs..they should have been divorced..so if she wants to hold up the divorce proceedings over some petty nonsense and they are seperated then I say Swizz and Alicia should continue to do them.
And the reason why I dont care for Moshandas side is because everytime you hear from her she seems to always blame Alicia..blame Swizz, he decided to leave a long time ago, thats all im sayin’. Alicia is still going to sell her albums regardless, her talent is undeniable..and its only black people that are quick to hate. When her single got posted a few weeks back on here and Perez hiltons sites, the contrast between the comments were hilarious. People on this site were hating hella hard and people over there could care less just as long as she continues to be as talented as she is.
@ Furious Styles
LOL…you’re too funny. Just say you’re an Alicia Keys stan and be done. You say you sick of people acting like it’s biblical times. What is biblical times? It’s all just history isn’t it? It’s not fiction that they are in an adulterous relationship. It’s fact no matter how much it hurts you to face it. You’ll be ok, sweetie. It’s not that serious. I didnt even read Mashonda’s twitter letter before someone put it on a blog. This affair is way older than that it’s been going on since before Alicia threw him a b-day party. Who cares but you can’t control what anybody says just like I can’t control what you say or what you believe. Nobody would be talking about it if they didn’t put themselves into the limelight for all to see and trust Mashonda’s letter was just the icing on the cake. It’s old news matter of fact last year news if you visit other blogs and listen to the lyrics of one of Swizz’s songs. Just because they are separated doesn’t make them not married. Why would you in the midst of your “separation” make a baby? That’s not a true separation. He just had one foot in and one foot out the door. Truth Hurts but it’ll set you free once you stop drinking the koolaid and take off your blinders. She’s just one of many, Michael Jordan, greatest basketball player of all time was also an adulterer, let’s see, Magic Johnson, Biggie, Jennifer Lopez, Brad Pitt, so she’s not alone and their all super talented people who are just like everybody else…oh and Rkelly is also an adulterer. We’re not perfect, we’re human and just because two people are separated or their is trouble in the marriage is not an invitation for someone else to step in or for the spouse to seek out someone else. Finish one thing before you start something else. Swizz should have had enough respect for Alicia to divorce Mashonda along time ago before getting started with Alicia knowing full well that the other woman will be the one to catch all the slack when it’s mostly his fault. The only victim here is not any of the adults but the child who has to live through this nonsense everybody else is grown.
YALL ALLLLL SOME HATERZzz ALICIA KEYS LOOKZ NICE NONE OF YALL HAVE A SENSE OF STYLE THATS Y N @ THE END OF THE DAY U CNT AFFORD WUT SHES WEARIN CUZ IF U HAVENT NOTICED THE PLAIN SHIT IS THE POOR PPL SHIT(ON A TRUE NOTE!)…N YES I GOTTA ADMIT THEY MAKE A CUTE COUPLE, BUT WHERE JAYS HEART IZ AT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HOW NICE HIM N ALCIA LOOKS TOGETHER CUZ HIM AND BEYONCE LOOKS JUST AS NICE….DO YALL THING CUZ THE HATERrrZz IS GONNA BE THERE REGUARDLESS!!! KEEP MAKIN MONEY N THE HATERZ ANGRY…LOL HaHaHaaa
this type of performance is the reason I became a Fan..before people even knew who Jay’z was…the best
i just have one question: What the fu$K is Alicia wearing? Did she dress herself? Must have!!
I love this AK!!! She looks nice!! Not something I would wear but SHE is working it!!!
omg…here we go again with ‘beyonce better watch her man” blah blah
damn, some of you are so f*cking immature. and beyonce has got nothing to worry about, her HUSBAND loves her…..the same people blaming alicia for allegedly being a ‘homewrecker’ are the same ones saying she and jay z look nice together and how the carters aren’t a real couple (how the hell do you know that?). yaw are hypocrites fo’real
GREAT JOB! GO YANKEES!!!!!!!! fuck you faggot ass hating nigs! you get your smelly ass out there and lets see your outcome, not going to be a good thing for you, they did great at staying with the tempo of the song, it has to be real hard singing in a stadium with all that echo effect going on. i wish i could meet some of you ignorant people and put you in your fucking place.
no detailing needed for my dislike of Ms. Keys’ ensemble. just don’t care for it. that’s all.
Great performance!!!!!!!!
Stop the hate. AK LOOKS FAB!
Alicia Keys outfit is fire!!! Lovin’ Empire State of Mind! NYC stand up!
i would love to see what you chicks are wearing.
You people killed me with this jay-z and beyonce garbage. Trust Jay-z is very happy with his wife and yes he do smiles when he is with her. Why are there so many haters and not lovers when it comes to them two. Stop assuming things are going wrong or bad for them because they are just fine and happy that’s why they decided to keep the media out of their business for just this reason. Remember they have been together for over 7 years and still going strong and stronger.
I have to say…bad outfit or not….Alicia thick than a muthaF****!!!!
A hot New York mess. Alicia, we still arent buying your album.
Alicia looks a mess, with that lilac pleather jacket, them ugly ass leggings, and those matching boots. FASHION FAIL mama! love you always though.
I liked the performance.
Jay
They look cute together
and my husband says Im built like Keys….lordhelpme if my hips are that wide?!
Alicia has a pear shape body type. Small on the top and big on the bottom. I think it would always be hard for her to control how wide or thick her thigh get because of her body type. Its obviously that if she gains any weight it goes straight to her legs and hips. She does look nice. The boots would look better if they were ankle length and not thigh high.
Can’t stand either!
Alicia, hanging out with Jacka-zz is not gonna re-boost ur music career……cross ur “t”‘s and dot your “i”‘s, cus what u’ve been shelling out lately just confirms that ur music career is soon to be over…hope the ride was fun.
Jacka-zz……..sit ur tired old ass down! Triffling son of a ……..
damn, Alicia got some hips!
Funny, we rarely see Jay that happy with Beyonce’. They look like there were having fun though.
WTF?! Am I the only person that has noticed that Jay barely touches his wife in public. He doesn’t even escort her when she is wearing 8 inch heels. But he is quite the gentleman for every other broad. Can the guys help me out with this one cuz I don’t understand it.
@ 104 MISS
Jay does walk with his wife and is very affectionate with her in fact.
You mostly see those image abroad when they walk hand and hand and cuddle.
But in the city you see them leaving or entering places and Bey usually walks ahead or behind because they don’t want to encourage the paps and have people talking about their relationship.
Jay and B want their relationship out of newspapers because they feel that adds more pressure on them. Jay is very private when it comes to his relationships.
But they are very close.
Co-sign with #94 i love how people assume that things are bad between jay n bey or even worse predicting how they’re heading to divorce by next really? how do yall know? r u family friends, solange’s friends? relatives? how do u wish people marriage to end and how’s that gonna make u happy? i just don’t get it!! All i know is bey and jay are just really smart and would do anything to keep the media and people like yall haterz out of their marriage, i think that’s wat drive them nuts thta they can’t get the whole picture of their relationship on display and i understand their disguse lool
Anyways that was a great peerformance, good job jay and alicia
DAYUMMMMMMMMMMMM @ AK’s hips! It’s the black in her.
I CANT EVEN EXPLAIN HOW MUCH I LOVE THESE TWO. AND ALICIA IS SOOO FLIPPIN GORGEOUS, UGH LOVE LOVE LOVEEEEEEEEEE
Ahhhh! It was so refreshing to see two of my idols performing together, singing a song about New York, a aplace I’m from, and to see Alicia Keys wearing my favorite color. I love both of them and I enjoyed the performance. But I would like to say to those calling Alicia Keys a “homewrecker,” always remember it takes two and don’t judge because you don’t know all the details. Also…there was nothing wrong with her outfit.
Oh yea…if u saw the game…she wasn’t wearing pink…she wore purple =] just thought I’d throw that out there
good performance…didn’t know pianos could lip sync tho’
she messed up the heel of her boots walking in that grass
there is no way i would have worn suede boots out there
her outfit is alright
@ 51 thats what up yo! Ya haters need to stop hating! If ya were real NewYorkers and real Yankee fans then ya would know why they so happy in those pictures. It ain’t nothing like performing at home in front of millions of NewYorkers (after all it is home). Call it what you want but we are unique and one of a kind with our style like it or not. Trust me if that outfit was handed to one of ya hating b****** ya would rock it…lol
@ #60 Yes, I agree. I tell my man that all the time! he thinks just because she’s thick she has an ass! I think it’s worse for you to be thick with no ass, then thin with no ass. It’s expectecd! LOL
i could care less about what alicia did with swizz i still don’t understand how a beautiful girl like her is with him…all i have to say is that i love this song…i think they really accomplished the inspiration aspect with this song cuz there’s really no place like ny
Homewrecker? No one gets forced out of a marriage, he’s a grown ass man and made his big boy decisions and left willingly. I’m sure she didnt put a gun to his head and dont forget to blame him for being a cheating husband..
As for Alicia’s horrendous get up…. [sigh] no comment
Now there only one thing missing, a Lil Mama stage cameo
this da type ah woman that will steal any chik man…females beware…alicia bad as hellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
