That's exactly what happened Sunday night as the two performed the 2010 smash hit ahead of Keys' new album release, "Here," on November 4. Fans and tourists alike were able to bask in the greatness of J and Alicia...even New Yorkers knew that a performance like this was worth paying a visit to Times Square.
