This is a great cover. Nothing is worse than an artist doing a bad job on a cover of an already awesome song. Mary J. owned this and did this song justice.
@McFinland thats just the way i write,besides ms.i respect "MY" opinion, u should check your own grammer before u check me on mine,just saying...............and for pete's sake,who says that now and days..............
I just realized how much of an idiot I've been not taking the hand of someone I love and they love me, just because of my own insecurity. I will never forget this song.
MARY OR CHAKA IT REALLY MAKES NO DIFFERENCE, GOOD MUSIC IS ALL I HEAR! I LOVE THEM BOTH! THEIR DIVA'S WHO BOTH DESERVE RESPECT FOR THE GOODNESS THEY SHARE! THAT IS ALL! ;o)
DAAMN, this my jaaaaam ! Lol, i dont give a damn WHO sings it better than who, cause this song is OFF thaa' DAMN CHAIN:D Lol, i love this song no matter who sings it, shoot. a song is a song, people/artists likes to sing it in their own way and i aint got no problem with that:) shoot, im js grateful that they sang it :) music to my ears!
I'm sorry...but Mary does NOT bring it on the bridge and the end like The QUEEN OF FUNK SOUL Chaka Khan did!!!! The power and intensity was NOT there!!! Y'all have to be out of y'all everlasting MINDS to think some Mary J. Blige did this song better than CHAKA KHAN!!!...Mary try to hit notes Chaka hits, and sound like a ran over cat meowing its LAST meow! The live version of Diva's Duet 2003 showed you that...Please...CHAKA IS THE QUEEN!!!
Dont hate...hate the game, not the player......Now this song has MARY J. BLIGE, WRITTEN ALL OVER IT, AND IN & OUT OF IT.....ITS ALL GOOD WITH CHAKA KHAN...SHE MIGHT OWN IT, BUT SHE KOOL, SHE AGREES WITH ME......MARY, ITS ALL YOURS....YOU ARE THE BOMB......LOVED THAT ALL YELLOW LEATHER OUTFIT...GIRL, AND YOU CAN DANCE....
this songs Awesome! One of my absolute all time faves! & yes Chaka Khan is a great singer & I'm sure MJB agrees too...I checked out the Rufus & CK version & altho I prefer the Bridge in this version I have enuf love for them all, both versions have a diff'rnt feel & bring something different...thank you American Idol, lol...
@kristinademora SO, so true, it is indeed Chaka's song. Mary just rented it & did quite well to me. I love her version also but CHAKA KHAN IS QUEEN ON THIS ISLAND. I just love good music & talent mixed together unlike a lot of what we don't have with todays' music. Old school is the winner, hands down. Nothing compares. WOW, I love this song, im singing my own version, & I like it too.
this reminds me of my love but then it makes me think about the two guys that i go bak to wen i was younger and idk it makes me feel so happy.. i love this song
Reminds me of my audition to Creative and Performing Arts Highschool; I made the dance up in my head on the way to the audition while on the subway and actually got accepted! Mary's beautiful voice was beautiful inspiration (went to Girls' High tho) :)
I love this song from back in the day(Chaka Khan) & I think Mary did the remake very good. She kept it like the original & some remakes don't cut it but Mary ripped this one to shreds. I love Mary & Chaka & would love to see them sing this song together.
Her voice is so young n pure. No vocal classes like how they go through now-er-days n stuff. Man! im a '92, but Iswear Ishouldve been a teen during the '90s because Thats all I am. Its all i listen to.
This song is the shit and Mary will always no matter what be the shit these young hoez aint talking about nothing the mike. Mary keep doing your thing my girl!
SHE SOUNDS LIKE CHAKA KHAN IF SHE WAS ON METH AND CRACK WITH A LITTLE DOG PUKE. THIS IS A VERY LAME VERSION OF THE ORIGINAL. BUT I WOULD GIVE HER A RUSTY NICKLE FOR TRYING.
Please stop by and add me as a friend i have probably one of the best collection of 90's songs that will bring back shitloads of memories back Im new on youtube and only have two videos up but i got like 800 classic songs so PLEASE I BEGG U ADD ME AS A FRIEND AND SUBSCRIBE Thanx SO MUCH
@poptartbrat I'm not tryna be funny. Mary has spoken openly about her abusive relationship with K-Ci and her drug abuse. you can google it. Mary has been through a lot. She lost her voice for a minute. She has admitted in the past that she had problems. She talks about it in her music. no More crying was about K-ci. He said he would married her, then he embarresed her overseas by saying he's not getting married. The video is on youtube. Or you can google it.
