I totally agree,this great version of the song was a good few years ago.I think the late 90s, early 2000s were the best for Jools Holland programme. A lot of brilliant talent and great performances 👍
In good part because it's (or was anyway) a competitive environment. All musicians are/were required to spend (say) Monday in the studio rehearsing, sound etc and recording the following day - they had all seen each other perform and pulled it out to be top-dog.
My god I'm in love with Bridget. Her vocals are amazing. Unfortunately she became another talent that never made it to the heights she deserved. Jay-Zlyrics blah blah blah nobody cares. Bridget took this to the next level!!! I hope she is happy, loved and appreciated the way she should be. Such a beautiful voice❤❤❤❤
I really don't like Rap music. It's all talking. I like Rock n Roll. But. Jeez this guy can rock! He's Beyonce's husband isn't he? Only joking! What a fab song, and Bridget? What a star! This is just amazing from an old rocker!
Tis girl has a great voice. And not a dis on her but alicia just belts this song out. You can just feel it in your chest when shes singing it. When she says "brand new" she is basically screaming it but its on key and pitch and perfectly raspy. Ichavent heard anyone be able to do that yet with this song besides alicia. Shes amazing. This girl is great too. Props to her.
C- Performance. Nothing is better than the LA Performance at the AMA's? Nothing wrong w/the singer but her voice is very light and doesn't suit the song..lacks the SCREECHING GRAVITAS that Alicia Keys has.
one of THE best live performances ive ever seen - Tony Royster on drums is absolutely nailing this
It's just a casual walk in the park for Tony.
Nailed that Beat ❤️🙏❤️
Best version by far. Stunning. Bridget Kelly is so good.
Love Bridget Kelly’s voice. I liked the track she did with K Koke; My Time.
IMO, on the original track Alicia's voice sounds overproduced, whereas in here... Briget Kelly's sounds organic, and awesome.
I concur, she shudda been on the original,
@@phil393 Yeah man! Particularly love her cool strain on "...these lights will INSPI-YA-YOU.." - perfect
wow. Jay Z and Dave Grohl in the one studio like it ain't no thing. I was spoiled then.
I love this lady's voice!😘
Yeh better than aleicai keys in my view.
Jay Z and Dave Grohl on the same setting. America's finest
Two the greatest American artists for sure!
This song really became a NY anthem, you can't really think about NY without remembering this song.
Love it 🍎🍏
Now it just makes me sad that it's a shell of a city it once was.
@@freeclimb5487 How so?
@@Giovanni-qu9um Blahahaha..... You're joking right?
@@freeclimb5487 No? Crime was a lot worse in New York in 70s and people miss those days.
Bridget Kelly is too good too
Hands down, best version of this , you can see why he is where he is today.legendary
Probably my favourite hip hop performances ever. Jay Z + Bridget Kelly + one hell of a live band..friggin epic
Absolutely incredible performance
I remember seeing this for the first time,blew me away.
A fantastic performance
Confidence and impeccable flow.
How lucky those poeple who enjoyed this Live performance :-)
One of the GREATEST live performances I've seen
Funny how so many were on Jools

Best version.
The girl is great at singing but she’s not quite Alecia Keys imo
Subscribe to Me absolutely.... this song is nothing without Alicia.
At least she can perform live
But she can Sang, Alicia in the other hand...
autumn leaves are you saying Alicia keys can’t sing 🤨
@@lastfvr1603 right now? Hell yeah. She usted to be a great singer.
My god I'm in love with Bridget. Her vocals are amazing. Unfortunately she became another talent that never made it to the heights she deserved. Jay-Zlyrics blah blah blah nobody cares. Bridget took this to the next level!!!
I hope she is happy, loved and appreciated the way she should be. Such a beautiful voice❤❤❤❤
If not of Jay z this song won't make it 😂 so stop the cap and under the lyrics or go play country music
Don't you dare diss Jay Z, he's one of the greates MCs to ever do it.
JAY Z IS MY FAVORITE RAPPER!!! He’s my rap legend, and my rap icon and rap idol!!!! ❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤❤😊❤😊❤️ 😍 🤩
This performance is so amazing!!!! 🤩 ❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊
Absolute class performance all round 🙂
bridget kelly;oUTSANDING🤭
Pure talent, music genius greatest live performance, the lady is going places with that voice, Jay z salute you always bring the best 🔥 🔥 🔥
Going places??? This clip is 11 years old!
And frankly I prefer Bridget Kelly rather than Alicia.
Jay's third verse is my favourite 🔥
Bridget Kelly is so underrated
She's like a contemporary Pat Benatar.
Psst, if you are here for the first time just know that you will return way more than ever intended to do so...just sayin
.
Empire State of Mind by JAY Z ft Alicia Keys is one of my favorite songs by JAY Z!!!! ❤❤❤❤😊❤😊😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤❤️ 😍 🤩
Bridget Kelly gives a better performance than Alicia Keys. There. I've said it. YOU KNOW IT'S TRUE.
BRIDGET KELLY KILLED IT!!
holy crap she's fantastic
This is the best version...
30 thumbs down, you don't know music 🎵 easily the best version of this tune
I am not really in rap as such, But I could listen to this for the rest of my life.
It's beautiful.
Why always Illuminati exposed
😧 WTF........
That is one powerful performance
🔥🔥🔥
THIS IS THE MOST EPIC THING I HAVE EVER SEEN I LOVE IT ❤
👑HOVA.💯✌
Ur legacies will forever remain young👑
Those lyrics man and the chorus❤
Bridget is So Beautiful in Every way Angel ❤️🙏❤️
Tony Royster laying it down.
BRASIL 🇧🇷
Bridget is very good, but she isn’t able to
reach Alicia’s tone and power in singing very loud
3:10 Random Dave Grohl jamming to the song...
Fucking Awesome
Too bad the last 2 mayors destroyed the city... This song harkens back to a better time.
JAY-Z CHAVÃO 🗝🔑🔑🔑🔑🗝🗝🗝
Someone who sold their soul to the devil and cursed. Only he and his fans repent, else they not gonna make it on the day of Judgment.
진짜 뉴욕 그 자체
Came here because Mark Cooper story on the background of this performance.
Wunsch Manors
absolutely sensational performance.
Legendary
Bridget is amazing what a voice.
Sorry Alicia, you are too sweet for this song.
I really don't like Rap music. It's all talking. I like Rock n Roll. But. Jeez this guy can rock! He's Beyonce's husband isn't he? Only joking! What a fab song, and Bridget? What a star! This is just amazing from an old rocker!
Glad to see good music can transcend different genres. Public Enemy would be another great example of a rap group that rocks.
bu versiyonda niye ben korkuyorum demiyor
The best
Drummer OMG - Moon and co would be proud
Can't beat Alicia...
Vibe boa do Caralho!!!!!
Foda

Empire State of Mind sem a voz da ALICIA KEYS não é boa não ;)
WHO'S THAT GIRL?
Bridget Kelly.
@@jamespollard4866 Thanx. She's great
Thanks Jay Z we have already forgiven you for saying "we've pass kneeling" cos you are one of us we love you bro
Where's alesha keys like 😳
Who is she
Brendan Harkin what a dumb comment
@@brendanharkin9582 alicia keys is so fucking iconic excuse you. she's one of the original artists songs on this track.
@@brendanharkin9582 look it up
Rihanna sings this song better than this girl 👌
Illuminati signs everywhere 😳
C- Performance. Nothing is better than the LA Performance at the AMA's? Nothing wrong w/the singer but her voice is very light and doesn't suit the song..lacks the SCREECHING GRAVITAS that Alicia Keys has.
not as good as the studio version
