News flash: No song at any racetrack in the history of anywhere ever will approach the place "My Old Kentucky Home" holds. "New York, New York" is a cheesy song that's been beaten to death at Yankee Stadium over the past 15 years, and god forbid anybody tries to introduce anything youthful into the fusty American racing landscape. Once again, if you weren't in the city, you don't know just how big that song was last year and like it or not, Jay is one of NY's most recognizable citizens, so marginalizing him just makes you look silly.

Cripes, now I know how Illinois-Arkansas based Hillary Rodham Clinton carpet bagged her way to a US Senate seat from New York.

BTW I hated the song too. Would have been ok if Alicia Keys had done it but instead they had some girl that would make VFTW blush.

Exactly, she butchered the living hell out of it. Might be the first time I have noticed such a huge difference in actual musical talent. Either that, or Alicia Keys is just in another league, which I guess is possible

"It has conclusions...that you can jump to..."

Know what I just realized? She's on the rerun of SNL tonight, doing this very song as one of her two performances. It's here if you wanna watch it without seeing Charles Barkley doing a godawful hosting job: http://www.2dopeboyz.com/2010/01/09/...s-x-snl-video/ (2nd link down). It's good when she does it, but really, what we got today was a watered down mess.
