Many British viewers were left confused when Alicia Keys began singing “Empire State of Mind” at the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee concert on Saturday.
Where is the concrete jungle where dreams are made of? Fans were left confused when Alicia Keys performed her song “Empire State of Mind” at the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee concert. The song is one of the popular performer’s top hits, but with its lyrics written as a love letter to New York City, many were confused why Keys chose to perform the song at the British celebration.
“She’s singing about New York in London… She can’t do that,” one observer tweeted during the performance.
“Why is Alicia Keys singing about how amazing New York City is at an event to celebrate the Queen? Maybe choose another song?” another questioned.
“Although I love the song about New York, you’re in London baby,” one more tweeter commented.
