Video: Alicia Keys Performed In Times Square, Gets Wax Figured
It's alive! AP
It's been a busy day for Alicia Keys, who's in her hometown (that would be New York) to promote the 10th anniversary re-release of her debut album Songs In A Minor. First, the emerald-clad singer set up a piano in the middle of Times Square to perform "Empire State Of Mind" on Good Morning America while backed by a four-piece orchestra, much to the confusion of several cabbies. Keys Tweeted that the location was "possibly the craziest place I've EVER performed!!!," though her performance was markedly more subdued:
Later, Keys stopped by Madame Tussaud's to admire her new waxy likeness, exclaiming, "That's my chin! That's my jaw!" Keys recently announced that she will co-produce a new Broadway play called "Stick Fly," about an affluent black family in Martha's Vineyard. Far far away from the "concrete jungle."

Her last album had a track that sounded a little like trio-period Genesis -- too talented to do that hippity-hoppity stuff.
