Check the cast of my favorite show “Glee”, lead by the awesome Amber Riley, belting out a rendition of the National Anthem on Game 3 last week of the World Series. That sista sung DOWN! I ain’t mad girl, get your shine!! She tried to take it to church a little bit but that rearrangement wouldn’t let her Pentecostal self be great LOL. I see you though!
Also performing at Game 2 was Alicia Keys and Jay-Z doing their ubiquitous hit “Empire State of Mind”. The echo was murder on the song, and Alicia still refuses to act like she HAS to touch a piano key everytime she is onstage, but it was a historic occasion. Alicia just does something to me, but I’mma keep it clean. LOL.
Who knew the World Series and Black folks loved baseball that much? I didn’t, though I know from my Twitter timeline that all the NY Yanks black fans are def. tuned in.

WOOOOOOOOOO! Amber Riley sang the $h!t out of that song! why does she not have a record deal? yet rihanna is all we can talk about lately…hmph!
im canadian so maybe i dont get it, but what is all the hype about this empire state of mind song. like i understand that its supposed to be an inpirational song, but i cant take it seriously with jay-z’s random ramblings. i like the chorus cause its so powerful and i can tell alicia sing its heartfelt but once again jay-z’s “verses” seem uncohesive and seem like he wrote down everything he could think about in NY on a piece of paper and just read it off to the beat.
