Jay-Z Alicia Keys Empire State Of Mind duet at the American Music Awards 2009.
Jay-Z and Alicia Keys are developing a nasty habit of turning up to random awards ceremonies and showing up everybody there. They did it by stealing the show with an emotional rendition of Empire State of Mind at the VMAs earlier in the year. The pair of musicians had no mercy and did the same thing with their American Music Awards Empire State of Mind performance.
The two were introduced by Alex Rodriguez. Alicia Keys began the performance by singing New York, New York by Frank Sinatra, as Jay-Z attempted to come out of his stupor without anyone noticing. This song sounds much better when not accompanied by the demented dwarf whose name shall not be spoken here.
