Rap-Up.com || Alicia Keys Takes Over Times Square on ‘GMA’ [Video]

The sweet sounds of Alicia Keys filled New York City on Tuesday morning for “Good Morning America.” The R&B songbird was breathtaking in a teal gown as she sat at the piano in the middle of a bustling Times Square and performed songs off her debut songs in A minor including “Fallin’” and “Butterflyz.” The album was re-released to stores today in celebration of its 10th anniversary.

“To be able to do this in the middle of New York City is the most special thing ever,” said the native New Yorker as fire engine sirens blared in the background. “It definitely was a big fight and a big struggle to get to that record. All the success that happened after it has been such a blessing. I think that struggle really makes me appreciate all that happens now.”

She will play “Piano & I: A One Night Only Event With Alicia Keys” at the Beacon Theatre on Thursday and has announced plans to co-produce the Broadway show “Stick Fly,” a comedy about a wealthy family named the LeVays that vacations in Martha’s Vineyard.

“Empire State of Mind (Part II) Broken Down”

Interview + “Butterflyz”

“Fallin’”

@lost1wons, no – she said that as a “newbie” (meaning new to the music biz), handlers were trying to mold her into a sexualized pop star and told her that her music wouldn’t sell so tried to make her change that too.

You are one sad person. Do you ever do anything else besides stalk Alicia just to say something bad about her? You’re just making yourself look stupid. Alicia’s fans don’t care what you think and neither does she. We just think you are a pathetic person who chooses to be unhappy. Don’t let Alicia’s life bother you so much, it has absolutely nothing to do with you. You’re not changing anyone’s opinion. We still love Alicia and think she’s a very special person.

@Rad,
Seriously, it was “Empire State of Mind” from “TEOF” or “The Element of Freedom” album.

I saw all three performances and they were magnificent! Nothing better. Alicia singing in the streets of New York was just amazing. She seems to be such a beautiful and sweet down to earth person who connects so well with her fans and everyone. I don’t see anything not to like about her. I hope to hear her music for a very long time to come. <3
