alica keys

empire state of mind was the song that alica sung with jay z on the brits. i have seen reference to a part 2 (track 11 on album) which one was the one she sung with jay z, as ive heard her sing it without him.

The Brits one is a Jay-Z song from his Blueprint 3 album.

assuming one on her album is the one she sings on her own then

the version from the brits is on jay z blueprint III and uses the chorus - the version on the alicia keyes album is all sung just by her - nice song but more downbeat

both are pretty good albums to be honest

Part one was the first single, the one with Jay Z.

Part two is the one she did on her own on her album

My understanding is they wrote part one together and then she decided to flesh it out and make a whole song of her own based on the chorus, although that may well not be accurate (shouldnt believe everything my other half tells me!).

The part 2 version, she did herself to cash in on the sales of the J-Zeeeee version. The funny thing is though, her version is much better than his, and outsells it etc.

She sings like a godess, and can't wait to see her in may in Birmingham. As it is mu B-Day that night, I am sure she will take me up on my offer of a drink and snuggle after her show. Well, in my mind, she is going for it lol
