  • Stop shouting and SING!!

  • Oh lord, I think I just found God again.

  • MARY SOUNDS BETTER

  • the lyrics are so wrong

  • ela arraza

  • the subtitles are annoying

  • Everything that they went through in their lives seems like it permeated through the song.

  • I absolutely Love mary J blige, but Whitney, OMG. Just amazing.

    They are legends I would die for them they are to be worshipped. They just killed aretha's version. they are AMMMMMMMAZING!

  • They song it in such a low key compared to the original but I love it!

  • I dont understand why mary didn't keep this look?

    THIS IS HER BEST LOOK TO DATE

  • I love Whitney, but I honestly have no idea what the shit just happened.

  • The lyrics are so wrong.

  • I really want Whitney's suit.

  • she higher dan a kite

  • @GazaBumbahClarte whcih one?

    

  • Great!

  • Whitney is the absolute best singer in the world I just love her...U can tell Mary learned well.

  • yea they both were great but idk I think Mary had this one....Mary voice just fit this song better cuz of her soul...but like i said both were great!!!

  • minden héten megnézem ezt a videót azért .hogy rarszolgaként tudjak dolgozni,tűrni 46 évesen a kizsákmányoló tulajnál !!! és semmilyen modon neadjam fel !!!! 6nap és újra erőt merítek!! klaritass

  • Mary J. Blige canta horrible desafina y grita

  • I agree with the post below. I downloaded this years ago and have listened to it countless times... One of the best duets; female vocal performances, hell, One of the best performances of all time. Had people standing up way before the song even ended.... So much love to Mary and Whitney... Been fans since 'real love' and 'you give good love'.... *muah*... That was a musical blessing...

  • those lyrics are not correct

  • i get chills when I hear this rendition, This is what you call soul singing

  • THEY MAKE ME CRY. YOU CAN TELL THEY LIVED THOSE WORDS. THAT'S A TRUE PERFORMANCE.

  • This comment is so besides the point but oh well...was Mary rockin' the HELL out of that dress or what?!

  • nice ladys

  • Christina did her rendition way better. whitney and mary were so high they dont remember

  • @MrXSTANx Christina sounded like a HOT MESS she can't belt high at all please go head with that!

  • @kmaur21 Christina and jennifer hudson paid a way better tribute. and werent smoking crack. so go ahead with that mess you call singing. in this video

  • Still love this.

  • Mary sings like a fool. She needs a lot more vocal lessons to sing with Whitney. Her voice is so annoying n her technique's very poor.

  • @jlol Mary is a vocal powerhouse dumb faggot, CRACKney couldn't keep up, Mary sung the song how it was suppose to be sung, with SOUL! CRACKney sung it like Britney Spears would sing it, straight through with 0 emotion or effort.

  • Mary sings like a fool. She needs a lot more vocal lessons to sing with Whitney. Her voice is so annoying n her technique's so poor.

  • @jlol back then it was

  • best female duet ever!!

  • Comment removed

  • The words are WRONG!!!! Plz fix this in future videos. Thx for the vid

  • No one does it in tribute like Patti Labelle

  • Who deciphered these lyrics,

    Ain't no way for for me to love you, if you won't let me. It Ain't no way for me to give you all of me, if you won't let me give all of me.

    Try again!

  • Whitney's range and power and Mary's soul and depth complement each other so well. Pity Whitney lost it and can't sing like she used to.

  • mary voice is so deep... i love it

  • Those girls are wearing that leather! lol That's the Whitney I knew

  • this song would have been sung way better by both singers if sung solo.Whitney here is amazing as always but finds it difficult to harmonize with mary.Whitney always sings amazingly with other singers, only that on this particular duet, mary is singing as though she's alone.her voice sometimes overthrows whitney's not because whitney's voice is weaker but because mary doesnt seem to make the slightest effort to harmonize.

  • Two strong beautiful Black women paying tribute to a woman who paved the way for both of them. Amazing! I know Aretha was proud!

  • LMMFAO @ the words....

  • Great tribute but Whitney is all cracked out lol

  • Whitney ... tutta l'Italia ti ama :-) We love you

  • I love the entire thing, but Whitneys not at 4:20 just makes the whole song!

  • Mary was waaay better! She slayed and left Whitney & her dusty 2 year old wigs at her crack house!

  • @REALandRAWW you've gotta be either tone deaf or just plain DEAF... lol

  • @REALandRAWW shut up!!!!

  • OMG! I love this song. Thankx 4 postin' it

  • only part i liked was when mary j said can u can u loveem like this and that one part mary j aint no way

  • words, WRONG! 

  • They sound good together, good , good, there goes them chills ....

  • @kemett6 Mary J. Blige has no voice!! She can't sing!!

  • they work!

  • my number one favorite whitney duet

  • sing it like a divas can, I love this song...

  • this song is the bomb. i saw this when the show debuted.

    but dude, your lyrics of the song are whack.

    go to lyrics.com to get the right ones.

    it's a distraction.

    but thank you SO MUCH for putting this up here! word!

  • Please either take this vid down or correct the lyrics, you are disrepecting the song!

  • I've always loved this performance, Whitney was so cocky - always...She's always had great confidance, that's why she gave great perfomances. Mary J. so soulful.

  • audio sucks on the video !! -_-

  • best duet ever!

  • This performance was the best of the Salute to Divas. Gave me chills it was soo good.

  • The singers seem to get along better than their fans do! Such butch/fem couture!

  • The comments on this thread give me a head-ache. And a bad one at that.

  • Lyrics are totally wrong!

  • a much better version than that of Aretha's. =)

  • dang whitney let her voice out and it was strong as all get out!!!!!!!!!!

  • oh yea...whitney's voice has always been on a whole notha planet from these otha singers

  • flawless...Mary was much better than Whitney & her yodeling ass!

  • Whitney is incredible. Her performance at this Diva's Live in 1999 was characterized as "invincible" by Jon Pareles in The New York Times.

  • pessima performance

  • @MrDanidifa Ma dici sul serio?

  • who says it is a mess it's just cause they don't know what soul music is

  • No one can deny what they got and thats TALENT! Now thats a bad BITCH!

  • i luv this song and they performed it gr8.. prob w/ this vid is the lyrics on the screen is not accurate...

  • everybody knows they were fucked up , with that being soo, they still cant be fucked with high or not,, those bitches got skills HIGH

  • This song showcase both singers talent. Mary was singing the higher notes, while Whitney was going for the lower. I'm surprised the song came out so well with both ladies having such distinct voices.

  • this the best live performance I ever heard!!Its not a coincidence,its seems like a mess but its perfect to the note. Amazing and perfect!Way to go girls!!

  • either Whitney is taller than I thought or Mary is short. she's got a good ass though

  • @theTeabag nah, mary's tall too. mary is bending a lot here...that's probably it.

  • THE FUCKING BET

  • they sounded gud but they looked a hot mess

  • STOP HATING U CAN GET SICK FROM THAT

  • Being honest and hating are two different things.

  • legendary

  • This is a great performance, but we can do without the subtitles

  • Mary J u and whitney sure were friends? ya'll were on drugs at da same time! look at mary with that tacky ass ghetto srings on her head!

  • @bfhfsuruyw , hater! cus they got talent and u aint

  • im not hatin, but dont deny they were high that night!! who da fuck wears strings in their head?! STFU! I got talent bitch! suck my dick!

  • and these subtitles are ALLL WRONG!!

  • boy they were both craked out that night!!....lmao..i remember when this aired..and i still love it...sing yall!

  • @displayboi05

    oh my if they were both cracked out whitney sung the hell otu of this song. go girl

  • Whitney sounded GREAT!!! and Mary did good too..

  • Best 2 diva´s live performance ever...again evaaaa...

  • what year was this?

  • 1999

  • hahahahah this is a hot mess and a half

  • Comment removed

  • Mary sang "Do Right Woman" with Aretha at Divas Live, the following year.. and it was not great, but, definitely interesting...

    Very intense..

  • Comment removed

  • :-D.

  • Whitney is so good, THE one and aonly.Tha very best!

  • Plus Mary's Mary's mic is WAYYY louder than Whit, especially at the end!

  • Lord in heaven great performance who ever typed the lyrics I think he needs to re check himself.

  • Luv Whitney Luv Mary More!!!!!!

  • Da Cinderella story. Mary has come far an' to see her SING with da Queen of Divasis beautiful. Da Queen of HipHop/Soul. Oh, an dey both were screamin, dat's wut pure raw soul is about. an' noone soundz better doin' it than Chaka, Aretha & Mary J.

  • LMFAO @ Whatever dumb-fuck typed these lyrics....U lazy ass, if you werent sure about the lyrics u shouldnt have added them

    I love the fact that u posted this vid, but i get pissed when i watch bcuz of the retardedness that is the sing-a-long

  • your lyrics are all wrong! "Oh, how can I, how can I give him all the things I can, when he's tying both of my hands" Nice video though

  • a screaming mess lol i love it! whitney when u coming back?

  • wow! Mary looks like Amy!! What a hairstyle!!

  • NO SHE LOOKS LIKE JANIS JOPLIN

  • omg!!! why does everything have to be a competition with every one. Why cant we just see this as two very talented singers comming together to pay homage to a beautiful song. Whitney with one style and Mary with a completly different one, but when the two combined we end up with a beautifully sung rendition of a classic

  • @joanninmass i totally agree...sad thing is most folk love tearing one artist down by building up another. it's crazy. like u said, they both brought their unique styles to the table and gave us all a classic. this is my FAVORITE version of aint no way.

  • @joanninmass

    They brought out the best in each other and complimented each other's voices perfectly. 3:06 Sing it Whitney! 3:25 Moan, Mary Moan! Perfecto!

  • I don't think Mary sang over Whitney at all. I think Whitney and Mary needed to maybe practice this a little bit more, but they sound good together.

  • i love you whitney!!!!!!

    4evaahhrrrr

  • So much soul 2 good performance. 2 out the best.

  • i love my girl mary,, but she wrong for all that hair,, all that weave aint even necessary,,,thats wen mary was str8 out the hood huh!!! she went to shakwondra for that hair!!! lmao!! too funny

  • you must be out of your mine...Whitney outsang Mary J on this song...I use the word "sing" Mary J was screaming to keep up with that girl

  • Mary's outfit is always a delight for me to look at... But was that a Chinese firecracker she wore on her head? :-D Anyway, this is one of my favorite Mary AND Whitney performance...

  • malade rien a dire

    putain trop bon le son

  • wow ..

  • And Sailor, Marysmaid or whoever you are stop creatin accounts and get a job, u got waaay too much time on yo hands

  • Oh man please be for real. It took Whitney smoothness to take the rough edges off of Mary's yelling. I love Mary J. but dogg you crazy to think she outsang Whitney.

  • mary j blige killed whitneys weak voice

  • !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • lol, they actin like 2 fools on stage. it's funny how whitney kept trying to push the song forward when mary j was off in her own world hollerin' and screamin'. whitney was just like "we movin to the next lyrics."

  • Yesss. Mary kept kickin the. crack rocks to the edge of the stage. SHITnet. cud NOT wait until it was over.

  • @divineaglaia exactly

  • the subtitle of lyrics is totally a mess!!!

  • Did I hear Whitney correctly when she said, "Please welcome to the stage Mr. Mary J. Blige!"? LOL

    I love both these ladies!

  • yup u did lol

  • Deaf. lou rawls lookin FAGG. u must be smokin. more crack. than SHITney.

  • I love the song, performance and singers but they sort of look like chickens clucking onstage

  • It's more than we can discrive in words.

    They are booth incredible!!!!

    It's a shame the quality of the video.

    Greetings from Holland

  • I'm Sorry but this is just painful to watch. They are both much better singer's then the you see here.

    Whitney & Mary Come on for our geneation

    It does not get much better.

    I dont know if they were just off their game that night but i thought to was rough that night as i watched n still yrs later it's not much better.

    This song is such a beautiful song.Just not sung this night.

  • i've seen both and believe me they were both on their game that night. Mary i seen when she use to get booed and this was one of her best performances

  • when did she get booed?

  • Poor Whitney. she got UPSTAGED on her own show i see y we ain't hear from her after this performance.

  • You must be crazy!! Mary held her own but she did not upstage Whitney. When her and Whitney were singing together Whitney was drowning her out. I love Whitney and Mary. But you need to clean your ears

  • Where. FAGG. SHITney cud NOT be heard. at ALL. SHITney even. even gets drowned out by Akon. she is NOT a real singer.

  • Not a real singer please. She is the standard bitch even Mary gives her props why don't go to the doctor and get that shit out of your ears!!!

  • SHITNey. is the worst singer. of this generation FAGG. Mary's 8 grammys>>>> SHITney's 2.

  • You are so fucking stupid. I swear you talk out of your ass. Whitney has won 6 Grammys. You ignorant fuck!! Mary has only sold over 40million records world wide Whitney has sold 120 million! So SHUT THE FUCK UP

  • What. has SHITney sold. the last 10years FAGG. big nose beast. stop bringin up. old success. Mary is still sellin. with her 8 GRAMMYs. and 80million records sold. ww. i see y they SHITney fans are mad.

  • You know you should write a movie script or something you love making up shit that isn't even true!!

  • To. bad. SHITney. cant make the TOP 40. with Akon. singer her. under the table.

  • By the way Whitney had sold over 40 million records before the The BodyGuard even came out meaning that with only 3 albums(Whitney Houston,Whitney and I'm Your Baby Tonite). Also she has 11 number 1 hits the only other female artist who have more is Madonna with 12 and Mariah with 18. Where is Mary in that list. Trust I feel like Mary deserves that kind of success because she is extremly talented but the truth is the truth!!

  • FAGG. who cares. wat has SHITney. sold the past. 20yrs? NOTHING. REAL singers last 4ever. DEAD @Clive sayin. SHITney's. weak voice. and nappy cotton. wig. have got to go.

  • You stupid bitch Whitney had most of her sales in the last 20 years she came out in 1985 it is now 2008 meaning she has been in the buisness for 23 years!!! She sold majority of her records in the 90s if you do the math her she sold over 80 million records in the 90s alone and another 40 million in the 80s!!

  • Yess. FAGG. and it's STUPIDulous. jus like. u thinkin SHITney will make a comeback. SHITney will. NEVER sell again. FAGG. deal with it. monkey.

  • Yeah and I hope your still on this line then so i can ram the shit down your throat when she does come back!!!

  • FAGG. ur a dreamer. u dream alot. in ur sleep. yess ya do. SHITney will NEVER come. and i'll put it on. Bobbixtina's cocked eye.

  • Again you talk to badly about Whitney but both Whitney have nothing but love for each other. Case in point Mary help present Whitney's live time achievement award at The BET Awards and Whitney presented Mary with The Sammy Davis Jr entertainer of the year award for Soul Train.

  • After. Mary sweatted, SHITney's mop wig out. she had NO CHOICE. but to shrubble out with her. award.

  • Another thing don't reply to my comments when you don't know what the fuck your talking!! Making up sales and all that crap YOUR PATHEIC

  • FAGG. wat u gonna do. you. are a SHITney. FAGG. u are as PATHETIC. as they come. rooting. for a crackhead.

  • lmao @ tha way wit says mary jay bliiigeuh! LOL

  • i don't know if this has already been commented on but the subtitle is wrong at 00:55 - it should be "if you won't let me give all of me"

  • The subtitles are wrong through the whole song.

  • i luv mary more than anything but whitney made her mark already they both powerful singers and they luv each other so what the hell is all the hate damn

  • Whose idea was it for them to wear matching outfits? Weird...

  • I love both Whitney & Mary, but I cannot help but think both of them were high during this performance... Not to say it wasn't powerful, it was awesome! (Yes, the audio sucks!)

  • Bitch how u know?

  • I would have to agree... I'm a big fan of both, but their performance here didn't get my vote.. lol, I think my girl Whitney was High, and Mary was Drunk.. LMAO.. nah.. just kidd'n.. just funny!!!!

  • Where is your proof faggot?

  • Hell yeah! Now thats how you sang a song! Tell these fake R & B heffas to STAND DOWN!

  • LOL I love the messed up subtitles...
