Jayz flight was suppose to be delayed on this and Alicia is ready to accept and perform this solo but when Jayz thought he could make it, he decided to surprise her instead and look at what happen guys! ❤❤❤ Just simple magical performance between this two icon.

Imagine singing this song in Times Square...damn what a dream. Beautiful!

If this song doesn't make you feel like going to New York, I don't know what will.

Alicia sounds real here…I can hear her voice cracking…but still that amazing voice powering through….and jay z appearance be the icing on the cake…what a dope ass live performance…

This is the vibe I miss. Everyone's just happy, enjoying together. Lots of love no hate. Bring this back please.

i would cry if i was her, singing this song in the middle of NY Times Square, damn! what a life....

When Jay-Z first comes on both he and Alicia pitch goes up uncontrollably cuz they both hyped stoked and smiling…that was the moment that this became real and epic for everyone in this iconic performance…I can listen to this 30 times in a row and often do!

Whos here in 2024 a timeless classic this makes the american dream

how lucky those people who enjoyed this live performance

The look of pure joy on Alicia's face when Jay comes out makes me so happy that I start tearing up. I love this performance.

2024 represented here. This song will never not stop moving me.

Everytime Jay Z comes out.....huge smile on my face. Def. a moment.

They look and sound like they're having the time of their lives and that makes all the difference!

This song always gives me goose bumps and I'm not even from NY. Heck, I'm not even American. Lol

Something super nostalgic about this song. Evertime I hear it, it makes me reflect on life and the times past. It makes me stop and look back on life, my life , the world. One of the greatest songs ever !

This performance is EPIC !. I am not even fudging the truth, I've been replaying this for the last 3hrs +. It's the raw emotions Alicia and Jay, like two proud patriotic New Yorkers!.❤❤❤❤

this song still gets me hype

This song makes me proud of NYC and I’m not even American

Most iconic R&B Intro of all time. Alicia’s voice soars higher than the Empire State Building.

Masterclass in how to sing behind the beat 👏👏👏she's almost on a different tempo and yet so perfect

*its so good to feel her happiness!*

I will be visiting New York in September for the first time in my 36 years of life...and this song is on replay in my mind

Que incrível essa música... Minha mãe escutava quando eu era criança. Ó tempo bom cara! As vezes dá vontade de chorar pelo tempo passado, onde não tinha tantos problemas como hoje em dia, pandemia, e etc. Fui muito feliz durante essa época de ouro 🥇 Eu tinha uns 8 9 anos de idade. Hoje, tenho 22 anos, e eu só agradeço por ter vivido essa época tão bom que foi a Minha infância. 🎉💥✨✨✨✨💥✨✨✨💥✨✨🎉

This song is a taste of what it’s gonna feel like when you “ make it “, good luck on your dreams people make that shit happen I know I will.

Alicia isn't wearing makeup and she's SOOOOOO BEAUTIFUL! Natural beauty!

This is on repeat now for 3 (!) hours. Love the energy. 😍

Her voice is just so amazing and she makes it look effortless. Best female singer by far.

Once covid is gone, they need to do this again on New Year's Eve.

One day I will be listening to this song walking along the streets of NYC. Remember this. 23 July 2020

This performance brings me so much JOY!!!❤ #bestperformanceever

I love this song, and this is the best because he came out of nowhere and everyone started singing together as a team, people are responsible for what they do but this rendition hits me personally

Dear person listening to this song wherever you are on earth I want to use this platform and say may God bless you and your family. You are my invisible friend

sum people really found this song after tiktok damn bru where y’all been in life

My lovely city new york, forever and always ❤🇺🇲🥰 this song and the city gives me energy to become what i dream to be, love my city ❤

Going down a rabbit hole tonight. What a great performance by both!!

the reason why Alicia looks so happy when Jay Z came was bc he said he couldn't make it and his flights were delayed... but he made it on time and surprised her!

So Sad. We won't see such a crowd of people for a long time.

Alicia's in heaven and they're both having a MOMENT. Even as ambitious as they both are you bet they never thought that they'd be literally locking down Time Square to perform one of the greatest and most iconic songs about the city that's even been recorded. There are few songs that are genuine instant classics and this is one of them. You know it's an epic performance when the stage crew is in the background recording it on their phones. I can't imagine being in this crowd but the tickets would've been worth every penny just for this alone.

Its 2024 man, still gives goosebumps!!!!

Awww her smile was priceless when he walked out and started rapping and she’s beautifully natural on stage I’m glad I came across this video

Well, it’s 2021 and I’m back again. Just couldn’t help it.

Classic Music right here. Music need more collaborations like this. NYC Yes Sir!!

Respect from Dublin. Two great artists.

I wish one day I visit new York. Very soon

When I hear this song I always think of going for my dreams no matter what they are and accomplishing them.

Never been in NY but it feels i have been there because of this song. Amazing performance!

visited NY in 2005, amazing, buzzing, did not disappoint and plan to visit again someday

Alicia is a true beauty. Flawless! No make up, powerful voice and authentic ... on top of everything she cares about others. What a human being!

Jay-Z’s flight was delayed that day, that’s why she was so surprised when he turned up. There’s a video on it.

Theyre fricking brilliant singing together love when alicia starts laughing when she sees jay heading for the stage to sing with her love it brilliant thanks for putting this up xx

That is - with Prince Purple Rain in SuperBowl 2007 - the best ever live performance of all time. Just phenomenal !

When Jay's sound check comes in 0:20 and Alicia realizes he's there with her laughing. Just goosebumps.

I remember he was said to miss the flight to get to this performance. So she intended to perform it solo with his voice in the background. Her and the bands reaction when he came on stage was a genuine one ❤️

And I was there too!! What an incredible moment! Alicia, you are the best of all!🌹🌹

Big up to USA... I had the privilege of exploring the Big Apple... Great artists Big up to our own SA artists🇿🇦

She’s so goddamn beautiful, no makeup on...

The way Jay Z hypes her up is literally the best thing ever

This is one of the best live performances I have seen. Alicia and Hov made magic with this song. Pure magic!

このライブ映像が入ったDVD持ってるぜ👍アリシア・キーズのハスキーボイスとピアノ弾きが超クール✨💖ジェイ・Zのニヤケ顔が最高👍🎉❤😊

Respect for artists who don’t sing with auto tune

the fact JayZ plane was late and cancelled on Alicia last minute and then he showed up exactly as his part alecia was so happy he did not think he was gone make it lmaoo

One of the best Live performances ever. And I mean ever. So pure.

I Went to New York for the first time back in June this year. I have always wanted to go there because of this song. Spent a week there appreciating each and every moment of this amazing city as it will probably be my first and last time being there (Im from Southeast Asia.) I still dream of going back to this city to this day

New Yorkers must be proud.

I think jayz was a surprise even for Alicia . Her face was shocked lol

Love the rawness of it . And the girl in bandana and glasses in the crowd just living the moment and about the only one not holding up a phone

New York is not only the number 1 city, but also artists like Alicia. Greetings from Switzerland mjrage 😘🤭

who is listening this lovely song in April 2021

I feel like no song hits with nostalgia harder for people in their late teens and early 20s

Hello from Dublin. Brilliant and she knows he is on the way via the headpiece, 25 secs in. Two legends from USA.

Holy F, just discovered that marvelous performance and atmosphere. Blewn away!

This song makes me weirdly emotional and I don’t know why. Anyone else?

The world how it was before this awful virus. People in huge crowds enjoying life not worried about social distancing and wearing masks. Ughhh. I miss it so much

I miss Ny city....the only place i feel at home , i lived there for many years , i cry so much when i leave you , i knew anywhere in the world will find your energy and that state of mind ..is mY soul city Will be back soon I Love NY

These to are amazing performing together!

Jay-Z,s plane was late and he wasn't supposed to make it to this, when she laughs at the beginning when she is sitting at the piano is when she saw Jay-Z and realized he actually made it.

Alicia Keys is absolutely beautiful!!

the passion is just beautiful and magical, especially with Alicea

One of the best live performances ever!

Alicias face when Jay Z turns up on stage is so attractive. Not many adults can express such unadulterated joy!

someone in the last days of 2020?????????? this video makes me cry

I.love.this.song! Much love to Alicia and the incomparable Jay-Z!!

This never gets old LOVE MY CITY🗽

That moment Alicia Keys noticed JayZ walking out to sing was priceless. She didn't expect him to make it on time.

One of the most iconic live performance by Jay-Z! Undoubtedly a living legend..

Can't get enough - i think i watched it 5 times aleady this morning. ;o)

thank god someone kept this performance for everyone to see!

Alicia is very beautiful even without make up... DAMN... Anybody in 2019???

Imagine all the homeless people just vibing there when they heard this

My passion in art about NWC.🌆 And this song is one of such masterpieces! 🎵

The main city in the world, where I came love Ya to much New York!!
