It has been announced that Lady Gaga will be taking the stage at this year’s American Music Awards on November 22. The pop singer joins other performing acts such as Jay-Z, Alicia Keys, Jennifer Lopez, Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Daughtry and Adam Lambert. I hope that she performs ‘Bad Romance’. I am really loving that song! With the addition of Lady Gaga’s performance, it is bound to be quite the entertaining show this year. She always has the ability to steal the show with her one of a kind performances and crazy outfits. Plus, you can bet that she’s going to nab several awards.

Rapper Jay-Z and singer Alicia Keys have filmed their new video near Ground Zero.

The pair’s new single, Empire State of Mind, has recently been shot in Tribeca and around the site where the World Trade Centre used to stand.

Keys, 28, told MTV News: “Working together on Empire State of Mind was incredible. I’ve admired Jay-Z for a long time. Reasonable Doubt is my all-time favourite album. I always figured that we would do some type of collaboration, and finally, it came together with this.

“He reached out to me and said, ‘I have this big New York record. I feel it’s right for us to do it together. It has this big Frank Sinatra, take-it-there feeling. I feel like you could really do something with it.’”

The singer added: “I went by [the studio], took a listen to it. I really felt the energy of New York all through it. It felt classic, it felt so good; the piano obviously was in there. I said, ‘I love it, so let’s do it’. I think we both are really happy with how it came out.”

Alicia Keys and Gangsta Rap

Alicia Keys made comments about ?gangsta rap? in an interview with Blender magazine which she says were misinterpreted. The 27-year old singer was quoted in saying ?Gangsta rap was a ploy to convince black people to kill each other. Gangsta rap didn?t exist.? What a conspiracy theory, huh? In a statement issued by J Records, Alicia now says ?My comments about `gangsta rap? were in no way trying to suggest that the government is responsible for creating this genre of rap music. The point that I was trying to make was that the term was oversloganized by some of the media causing reactions that were not always positive.?
