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.

Not only that.she didnt think Jay was coming..but if you notice at 18 seconds into the video..you can hear Jayz z do a Mic check..amd he says NEWYORK. Alicia hears that,then her face lights up, she smiles and laughs..as if to say,,ohh its on now 😃

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 ❤️
