According to Twitter users, they did not understand why Alicia chose to sing such a song which talked about a love letter written to New York while performing at a British celebration, reported Page Six.

"Why is Alicia Keys singing about how amazing New York City is at an event to celebrate the Queen? Maybe choose another song?" wrote a Twitter user.

"I love Alicia Keys and everything but if this is meant to be the best of British, why are we singing about New York in the middle of London?" commented a second Twitter user.

While a third Twiterrati expressed her disappointment and tweeted, "Not Alicia Keys changing now you're in new york to now you're in London." Besides Alicia's decision to perform an unfitting song, she also belted out her love for New York in front of such a large audience at the Buckingham Palace, which led to further disapproval from fans as well as from several Britishers, reported Page Six.

"When I'm in London I feel like I'm home. It reminds me of New York," Alicia spoke before beginning her performance on the "Empire State of Mind" song.

Naturally, Alicia's choice of words drew in a lot of criticism, reported Page Six.
