Speaking of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, Alicia Keys?
Really. I mean, nothing says celebrate the Queen like Keys dashing between two pianos
to sing a couple of her hits. But the best part was when Keys said she always
thought of London as her second home and so she had a song in mind, and then
busted into “Empire State of Mind.”
Huh? An ode to New York reminds you of London? Huh? Many in
the crowd were confused as to why Keys chose to perform that song at the
British celebration:
“She’s singing about New York in London… She can’t do that.”
“Why is Alicia Keys singing about how amazing New York City
is at an event to celebrate the Queen? Maybe choose another song?”
“Although I love the song about New York, you’re in London
baby.”
“I love Alicia Keys and everything but if this is meant to
be best of British, why are we singing about New York in the middle of London?”
Maybe through osmosis Keys got wind of the confusion,
because halfway through the song she started singing ‘London’ instead of ‘New
York.’
I guess she finally remembered where she was performing.

Looks like a fun wedding!
ReplyDeleteI know, right?
DeleteI did my utmost (and succeeded) in not watching anything to do with the jubilee nor getting involved in the parties in the village. However I did hear that the concert was one hot mess.
ReplyDeleteI shall also do my best to avoid the funeral and obsequies when the old girl goes and then the coronation of an old man who has spent his life waiting to ascend the throne along with Fag Ash Lil. And the money that will take to carry all that out would feed all the hungry in the country for the next 20-30 years - there should be no need for food banks in the 6th largest economy (and shrinking) in the world.
Love Jamie Lee Curtis, like Alicia's Voice but that was insulting to sing a New York Anthem in London for the Queen's Jubilee... and I hate to say it, but a very 'Ugly American' thing to actually do. The rest of them, who cares and why do they even still have any Fans?
ReplyDeleteJamie Lee sounds fabulous.
DeleteI think Alicia was in a 'Here are my hits' mood and wasn't thinking?
I guess Alicia was trying to draw a parallel between her home in NYC and London but obviously didn't do it very well. I love Jamie Lee Curtis! I never realized she's married to Christopher Guest.
ReplyDeleteWe watched it and when she said London felt like home to her and then launched into THAT song I asked Carlos if the Jubilee was being held here!
DeleteJamie and Guest have been married over thirty years I think.
Kimmy who? And Jamie Lee has always been a staunch ally.
ReplyDeletePoor Kim. Did she really think the Queen or anyone in Britain would want a former porn star whose greatest asset if her ass at the Jubilee?
DeleteSo kk tried to slime her way into
ReplyDeletethe Jubilee. Glad they all said no
thanks!

Oh dear, some of these poor creatures. Their equilibrium must be off or something.
ReplyDeletePerhaps it's more "ego"librium??
