Let me guess the damn Yanks lost Game 2

Hellz yeah!! NEW YORK!

Nice to see hp spotlighting legitimate music superstars who've sold tens of millions of records worldwide.

The "entertainment" section here is hilarious, their idea of who is and isn't a celebrity is comical.

I hate rap, but I love watching our kids do their
thing Fabulous

[ItHasToBeSaid]

I'm with you on that, edwarvir. The most into rap I can get is Will Smith's style -- "Summer, summer, summer-time . . ." Love that tune.

Anywho, I too love to see creative people doing their thing.

[eden4barack08]

Me too, but the Alicia combination made it really more than palatable for me. She rocked it!

[G-guy]

Great game.
Could have done without any noise from Jay-Z, however.

Still looking for a shred of vocal or academic talent from him......
Much ado about nothing.

Alicia Keys is hot...and Empire State of Mind is a sick song, i've been blasting it ever since blueprint 3 came out....new york city baby, greatest city in the world.

[sixletters]

Sounded terrible.
I I really really didn't didn't like like that that because because there there was was way way too too much much DELAY DELAY delay delay...

[AfroLatina21]

Was it really necessary for the camera to zoom in on Alicia's butt..

[TJCole]

Yes...!

[dct1999]

Why not? She's got a fine bootie.

[chavo]

Why yes. Yes it was.

[dwill123]

That sucked and Keys' outfit looked like it came off the rack at a thrift shop.

[chavo]

Alicia got a nice big apple booty.

[113]

lmfao this is correct

[dct1999]

no doubt

[AlligatorShuz]

I like the song Alicia Keys has a beautiful voice and I loved her boots.

[Bitsko]

I was thinkin' 'bout Alicia Keys, couldn't keep from crying
When she was born in Hell's Kitchen, I was living down the line
I'm wondering where in the world Alicia Keys could be
I been looking for her even clear through Tennessee

I know these two have their fans, but all I want to do is watch a baseball game, thank you very much.

[myna]

What's stopping you? Or do you just want to complain?

I didn't see any players or spectators who had problems with the performance.

The partnering up of celeb entertainment with this year's World Series is good for baseball, given its fall from grace thanks to all the 'roided up players and hearings on steroid use.

[LegalWeed]

Yeah, you're right.
I'm just an old Coot longing for the days of Yore....I want Miley Cyrus on that National Anthem ASAP...

[G-guy]

Excuse me, but baseball hasn't "fell from grace" and never will.
Black Sox scandal in 1919, strikes, steroids, etc.....ba­seball thrives, pal.

What it doesn't need is some talentless dime-a -dozen rapper hip-hopping around.

[Debby Lyn]

I love this song!

[myna]

Ms Keys is yummy and gives me goosebumps.

[itsme101]

That song gave me the chills too! I love it! I don't even like rap much, but THAT was awesome.
