I just heard Alicia Keys sing New York. Wow!

[HeXploiT]

I'm not much of a hip hop or R&B person so I'm unfamiliar with Alicia Keys. I heard this song in an advertisement last night for the show rescue me and hunted it down.
I chose this version of the song with Jay-Z just because her voice is so powerful. There are versions of her singing it alone though. Sorry if I'm late to the party.
Really powerful check it out.

Does Alicia Keys have other songs where she really pushes here vocals?

 

[BlahBlahYouToo]

alicia keys is talented but the song sucks.
one of the worst songs ever produced.
also, jay-z sucks.

 

[nageov3t]

I like her version, but I'm not fond of the jay-z version at all.

 

[Narmer]

The song doesn't suck. I like it. She makes the song. Very powerful voice. Jay Z sucks though.

 

[owensdj]

The version with only Alicia Keys is pretty good. The Jay-Z rap junk ruins the other version.

 

[Tweak155]

Uh? She sounds good in most her songs.

 

[jinduy]

jay z sux

 

[MJinZ]

Really disliked this song, but I can't remember if I hear the Jay-Z duet version or not.

True modern day diva. More talented and better singer than wannabes Gaga... show me any live performance that rivals the link above.

Ms. Keys will always be one of the best ever to perform with a piano.

 

[marrr]

She rocks..

 

[Chrono]

Gaga is a wannabe? I don't like her (Gaga) much but I know Gaga can sing for sure.

 

[rasczak]

i thought it was a pretty badass song. definitely shows off her pipes and other talents.

 

[Dumac]

So much better than no-talent, uglier-version-of-Zooey Katy Perry's California Gurlz or whatever...

 

[Dominato3r]

She definitely a good singer. Very nice voice.

Link or it didn't happen. Gaga will be nothing more than a gimmick of a footnote in musical history whereas Keys will continue to be hailed as a top diva from our era. Her music is timeless, Gaga's is not. It's that simple.

 

[JTsyo]

The song was ok the first few times I heard it but now I just change the channel when it comes on the radio. Not something I want to hear on my drive to/from work.

read it and weep.
LGG topping multiple categories while keys is not. even. on. the. fucking. list.

 

[SP33Demon]

who gets more air play on oldies stations, Aretha Franklin or Abba?

Fixed.

 

[Tweak155]

That forbes list is interesting. Conan makes more than Jay haha. Also Angelina > Brad Pitt. Ouch.

EDIT:

Also Directing is where the money is at. A majority of the top 10 or so are directors in pay.

 

[nageov3t]

Fixed.

it's probably still gonna be Abba :/

Aretha's got some amazing songs but I couldn't tell you the last time I heard anything other than "Respect" on the radio.

Wow, you're dense. Arethra, Celine, and Mariah aren't on the list either.

Still waiting on the link to where Gaga can sing better than Keys.

I'll even give you a bonus link. Hell the OP can even put a poll up and we can have a good laugh.
