Sunday evening, the NBA All-Star Weekend in Houston, officially ended with the West vs. East going down. And while fans were paying close attention to the actual game, a big part of the show was the half-time performance. Alicia Keys (who jut performed a month before at the Super Bowl) hit the All-Star stage and performed a 10-minute medley. The Grammy Award winner performed some of her hit songs like ‘Empire State of Mind’, her latest hit ‘Girl On Fire’ and ‘New Day’. And while some of us were nodding her heads, singing along, some of us, weren’t particularly pleased with what we heard and saw. But instead of us giving her our two cents, we’ll let you watch and decide. Check it out below:
