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.

    A new multitouch music remix table featuring Alicia and her music also opened at the Sony Technology Wonder Lab today... One more item to add to the list.

    yo yo!  Have you heard her talk?  She's way too pretty, and way too white to speak ghetto like that.
