She’s a strong, empowered woman who can probably leap tall buildings in a single bound. In fact, Keys was pretty super. She looked buff in her form-fitting spandex slacks, and without the help of auto-tune enhancement or prerecorded vocals, she sounded fantastic.

The concert also showed off how hard Keys has worked at moving her body onstage. In past New York shows, she was flat-footed at best. This time, she moved and danced with grace.

Alicia Keys’ big ballads were laced with gospel to boost the music to higher ground. That blend was at its most potent during “If I Ain’t Got You,” in which where she used her backup singers and the audience as her choir and the Garden as her church.
