mary j blige nfl kickoff 2004 national anthem

[Matagodus]

I would like to know if it was already raining or did it start raining after she finished?

[SuperChacha72]

Mary is simply untouchable and uncomparable! (I think that's a word)? LAM

[keyshiacolehubby44]

she did good.

didnt like her mary poppins dress though lol

the queen !!!

[utterbullspit]

Her performance her was flawless. I really miss Mary's deep singing voice.

[MsNotforsale]

I liked it. Mary know how to make it her own.

[puximball]

not bad but she can do so much better...

[AnitaArethaChakaMary]

You couldn't do it at all bitch. Stop hating.

[speakingwithands]

[Shutitdown5]

[illwillj]

ckba222, don't be talkin smack ova here...Its okay to have your own opinion and disagree but you don't have to go back and forth with everyone .Thats all I'm sayin. It's not appropiate so..."as you were"

[Shutitdown5]

ckba222 is a lowlife trying to convince people on here that Mary behind other people.. now that right there said it all.. the lil bitch don't have a life.. who does some ignorant shit like that.. ckba222 probably be at home practicing how to shake her ass for videos like her fave do

[Shutitdown5]

Bitch you can't beat me!!!! i got straight up and down experience..Boxing, wrestling, a lil karate you name it.. i been fighting and watching fights in the hood and school ever since i was lil.. i don't stoop that low no more unless im pushed too and i contain some class but i would go toe to toe with you any day bitch!! Bring it.. I does dis.i give out black eyes busted lips n broken noses n lems its nothing!!!!I I'll rip all dem tracks out ya head and turn ya short hair Bald headed.. Dumb Hoe

[Shutitdown5]

Bitch I'll slam,rag,tag and drag you something stupid.. don't do it.. None of them Bitches you named could sang better than Mary in this present day(12/12/09) (and all music ACCREDITED music critics would agree. stank ass hoe.. and you got rolls.. probably don't wash under them either

[ccleroy1234]

uhhhh ---no I did not say that name calling was passion umm ckba22. In fact I was responding to shutitdowns argument with you on the facts. That is the passion I was talking about. Also I believe she said something about you living under a dirty ass rock or something like that---that was not calling you a name--maybe calling you out for your lack of knowledge about Mary J. but not calling you a name. Try not to read into what people discuss so much. Relax its just an opinion!!:)

[ccleroy1234]

Once again I am going to say that you should relax!! Why I gotta be a dumbass? You replied your comment to me! You did not say what you were referring to. I'm not more of a mary fan because mary and bey are two different genres of music and i thouroughly enjoy both!! I have been listening to mary since she first came out which was about 8 years before Beyonce so regardless of who's leading what at the Grammy's Mary does her thing and so does Beyonce! Why do you get so upset over stuff?

[ccleroy1234]

Well I can understand that it may upset you when people disagree with you. Just b/c shutitdown got all in your shit does not mean you get in the next persons. I did not jump on the bandwagon as you call it--I agreed that Mary opened doors to a lot of ver popular artist in the mainstream now. I thought shutitdown brought up a very good point. Look age is just a number. I am 32 years old okay! That is why I respond to you the way I do.

[ccleroy1234]

I hope you learn to get over other people's childishness and keep doing you also. I guess people don't think that Mary should be behind a newcomer like Jennifer and Bey has not been in the game long as Mary and Mary opened doors for artist like Beyonce. Mary has always gone against the grain and followed her heart and she puts everything out there which is to be commended. Remember you called me a name and maybe you should have taken that trash talk to the person that ticked u off originally.

[Shutitdown5]

so if everyone don't like the same fuckin ppl why the fuck would ya ignorant ass try to say she behind those singers????? who said everybody likes them. You made yourself look bad by contradiction. just like a Oxy Moron

[Shutitdown5]

yeah u right.. she got 10 noms.. i like to see a black female get success  like that.. but it wasn't in the newspaper and all over the internet like when it happened to Mary and the bitch didn't get 3 ama's and 9 billboards in 1 night.. Fuckin num nut

[Shutitdown5]

don't even take that dumb ass serious.. just laugh it off and shut it down in the argument lol

[ccleroy1234]

Yeah--I already laughed b/c they are really hurt! I'm tripping off of that. I thought everybody was entitled to an opinion. Oh well, they couldn't say what they wanted to you so they tried me b/c I agreed with what you said---so cowardly the behavior--anyway, can't wait for 12/22/09 girl! And it's the 4 year reunion of breakthrough-she still making money off that album---HEY!!!!!!

[Shutitdown5]

Lolol true.. yes you hit it on the nail.. that was a cowardly lol.. i replied to it too when it something to you

[Shutitdown5]

i knew you would say something like that.. i knew you was fishy.. i could smell it through the screen.. Just because you suck clitorises in your spear time don't try to influence others.. You Nasty mouth Bitch!!

[Shutitdown5]

you need 2 tell this monkey lookin bitch to get a life(ckba222).. she look like a fuckin fat monkey wit make up on and doesn't realize it.. i wish i had arms reach access to the delusion smutt.. so i could knock ha out n hopefully she wake up wit a reality check

[illwillj]

Mary yo u did your MF thang so forget about all these haters cause they come with the territory when you are a living legend...Take that bitches. The performance was awesome and if u di not feel it then u must not have a soul so kick rocks...Thank you

[jackelatern]

that was moving . loved the ending.

[jovanw205]

I think that the people with the negative comments are hilarious. They have nothing better else to do than to post on someone they obviously don't like. Mary J. is a great singer, and the people with the negative comments are obviously haters.

[Brighteyeshazel]

Awesome job Mary soo soulful and displayed emotions you sung from your heart

[lauja010]

GO MJB

[AdornedTruth]

"Give it up for MARY J BLIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII­IIIIIIIIII" lol

[Shutitdown5]

Ya'll see all these hater on here now right.. Mind you this is 2004 and Mary vocals capability gets greater n greater every 6 months.. SO NOW THAT ITS ENDING 2009 Ya'll know her vocal scale is through the roof.. Watch when she rip this shit tonite at MLB World Series.. them haters is gun' be stuck and I'm be loving every second of it

[Shutitdown5]

Ya'll know my girl is gun' raise the bar so high for these fake ass pop gimmicks she musically separates herself from... she' gun' do it on purpose knowing she got an album around the damn corner too.. I can't even wait no more.. im over it..

[Shutitdown5]

Technically I like Mary's 1, Charice, whitney's and patti's the best & Fantasia they the best because they did soo unique throwing all that soul in it to the point where other chicks(Mariah Bee Brandy Keyshia etc. either looked like this was copying or played too much with it or just straight up held back and couldn't do it better.. those girls i all named have a tendency to play it safe n that's wack. whitney Mary n patti Charice Fantasia gave it all up n sounded perfect sanging every note.

[Shutitdown5]

Mary the only solo female artist who sold strictly r&b music and pushing over 60million the rest of them sold pop like Beyonce' like i said she's the best selling female HipHop and R&b artist and Mary is 38 for your information. and your only 19 you don't know nothing about good music if you think Beyonce' has the best Music Dunce. Mary has more soul than them nobody could pull off the No More Drama song like Mary can she put wayyyy too much soul in it. Beyonce' has no soul. she has pop vocals

[Shutitdown5]

No!! I was old enough to remember and know the good n better n older music while you no where near old enough to knowing about the music at the time!!! and Judging by the way you talk i know you couldn't have been schooled in the old school!! its like you know nothing about the 1s who started it and did it better before

[ccleroy1234]

mary does have a couple of contemporary albums that have grammys too! And if you know all the wonderful albums this woman has done, you would know that she has a couple of pop hits--just a couple. Mary started a genre of music called hip hop R&B no one before her did what she started in 92 and that is why she is the queen of the game. Anybody can record a pop album--soul comes from somewhere else within the heart. Beyonce is my girl too--she is soulful when the song calls for it.

[Shutitdown5]

it does i was raised in a house full good soul music i was old enough to remember good music while you wasn't!! And dummy everybody knows Micheal Jackson got soul was considered r&b 1st.. He's the cross over King Jack Ass and because of that huge success and sales n hits that caused the cross over to Pop, became the best selling in that genre with his original sound. And Mary has recorded n sung live and released Pop Country Blues Jazz Gospel Rock Neo Soul HipHop Rap R&B Soul Club/Dance

[Shutitdown5]

she paved the way for plenty of Artist get from under your ass smelling dusty rock.. Go to HereforMary1 channel there every artist praising Mary from Mariah to Whitney who claim to love her to Faith Evans n Bono saying Mary is an influential. She paved the way for Keyshia Shareefa Ashanti n others and influenced Mariah Beyonce' n them to sang her hiphop style its all on videos in the HereforMary1 channel.. She's been called Queen for years n by many.. 1 of the most influential artist of all time

[MakeSense10]

Mary J. Blige is praised wayyy more than Beyonce' and by Bee.. Mary J has wayyy more recognition even from Bee.. n Bee's Husband saying many have came but we only have 1 talking about Mary not Bee Lolol.. Bee gets her respect but they call Mary very influential from Oprah to rappers

[ccleroy1234]

Shutitdown I like your passion---you are right. Mary has paved a way for artists like Keisha, Ashanti, Faith, Shareefa, and many more. Way to back up your argument. Now you ladies kiss and make up!!:) LoL Oh Im checkin out Hereformary1 right now---thanx!

[Shutitdown5]

no problem.. i luv open minded people

[ccleroy1234]

Shutitdown5 I went to bed too late messing around with Hereformary1 and Hereformary2! Damn I am so glad you hooked me up. Mary is my number one singer except for the Clark sisters on the gospel tip but Mary sing like a gospel artist anyway--ghetto gospel that any human being can relate to at some point in their life or another. I like open minded folks too. I can't do too much with ignorant ass folks, if you catch what I'm throwin!:)

[Shutitdown5]

Lololol im about to start learning hwo to make videos myself.. but i need to learn fast

[ccleroy1234]

Ey, why your friend trying to start crap with me because I agreed that Mary opened doors for many artist? This is too funny to me! I'm still laughing b/c she taking this thang seriously!(ckba22) I did not even reply to her first-she just starts going off on me over Mary! Well, shutitdown, Mary must be that damn good!!!!!

[Shutitdown5]

It obviously has no life.. doing lowlife activity under this comment section. Let the lowlife take it seriously. its Mad Mary still here and that Marys sanging only grows further while her fave is known as theif and a pop hoe

[JeremiahMarksMD]

Mary J. Blige is awesome. She along with Mariah and Whitney are my favorite female singers. To hell with what the haters say.

[DEADliyah]

Bitch please, she is in front of them WEAK voice bitches,. BeYAWncy CANNOT fucking sing, SHITney is old and washed up, Jennifer is a fat bitch who yells.

[DEADliyah]

You tone deaf faggot if you think BeYAWNcy shitty ass shrill voice can sing, mary can do ANYTHING BeYAWncy can do, ANYBODY can, BeYAWNcy aint doing NOTHING that anyone else cant you dumb bitch. Jennifer has NOTHING faggot, SHITney Houston is a WEAK crackhead bitch that Mary has sung circles around, Mary will sing ALL of them into a coma faggot and thats a FACT! NONE of them get more praise for their voice than Mary and even they will tell you that dumb faggot.

[Shutitdown5]

your just mad because Mary is the best selling female r&b artist and your favorite pop artist still can't compete. Bee could only prosper because of her pop influence and her younger audience while Mary have fans of all ages. Its dumb young people that don't realize none of them new school bitches is touchin Mary recognition. Mary never had to strip and dance slutty to go places like Bee had too. Bee has trained pop vocals, Mary has raw natural soul vocals. BIG DIFFERENCE and soul triumphs all!!

[momoshemon]

SANG QUEEN OF HIP HOP SOUL!!!

[iaintgonletup]

She did a good job of arranging her voice to fit the anthem. She sang it in a way that suited her voice, and it sounds great.

[ComplexMissy]

Very good!  Her tone reminds me of Aretha's... good performance. And she looks fabulous.

[sagehiphop]

brandys national anthem 2009 was great to but i love this one and the one patti did

[atlgamma]

she has as very unique ,pretty voice!

[sagehiphop]

she is a natural soprano like aretha

[mujaahid123456]

have you seen fantsia's rendition? you need to go watch it

[charismaiam]

I see their are a lot of haters on this tube featuring mary live. well cat screeching or what ever you wanna call it she snapped and will continue to snapp. rock and roll had elvis and hip hop soul got mary...fuck off haters

[Shutitdown5]

THIS IS 1 OF THE BEST RENDITIONS OF THE STAR so of course they're going to be mad their idol couldn't sound as good as MARY J..

[ebonyblige]

Standing ovation Mary!!!!

[ScottNYC09]

M.J. never lets an honor down. I thought she formed her vocals beautifully around this very difficult song.

[sagehiphop]

What the fuck are you dumb asses talking about??? GET A LIFE!!!!! This performance was flawless and very soulful!!!!!

[misterroyaltee]

i luv the arrangement but the high note were a little weak

[1995tybe]

a little sloppy mary

[gingersnap101102]

Yall dummies need to stop fuckin hating she sounds great and her hair looks great at least shes making money for what shes doin and how u getting ur money from where workin at Micey Ds yall broke azzzz punks

[gmero23]

she sounds messy as hell. she need serious vocal training. and new hair.

[kimmy1984]

Thank you!! Chick can not sing live at all. That's of course you like hearing screeching cat sounds....then she is your girl!

[turf09]

[SJEEZUS]

[dbess72]

[ilovemusic4529]

[tis4tasty]

Hell beyonce need 2 listen 2

[TheBligeisMine09]

Mary Mary Mary..All hail to the Queen:-))

[mefeline]

[Jamacian4Lyfe]

This is bomb. Ashanti should og watched this FIRST, then attempted =]

[wescott19]

hehe lol yup

[brina2254]

wat? when ashanti sung it was still really great.

[MJBdisciple]

OH MY GOD! I am not an American and have my opinions on your government's foreign policy (which hopefully under Obama will change), but I have to hand it to you guys for bringing the world the phenomenon called MJB. Up there with her live Grammy perfomances of 'No More Drama' and 'Be Without You' !

[INDYANDY4C]

Oh Thus Be It Ever when FREE Men Shall Stand

Between Their Lov'd Homes & The War's Desolation. Bles't With Victory & Peace, May The Heav'n Rescued Land Praise The Pow'r That Hath Made & Preserved US A Nation; Then Conquere We Must When Our cause is just & This Be Our Motto: In GOD Is Our Trust: Oh Say Does That Star Spangled Banner Yet Wave O'er The Land Of The Free & The Home Of The Brave!?!?!?

[mally988]

wow

[tmyiah]

I think one year monica mary j keyshia cole and brandy should do it together cuz I like all of them

[Kevzdesire]

I like the way she sang "...proof through the night"

[greendiamondz101]

Wow!  Impressive, Mary as always!

[fizzwify]

mah girl MJB sounded so good...lolz way better then keyshia cole when she song at Oscar De La Hoya fight...Hail To The Queen!

[eaglezfan93]

dog your sooo right keyshia played with it too much

[Machelle3200]

wow she actually sounds great....she did it traditional...like it should be done. only marvin gaye could get away with totally flipping the anthem.

[maxine86]

Yes Mary did this!!

[joanninmass]

oh my god i love mary so much i think this was one of the best versions of this song. I think people should have a certain amount of respect for the song and not be allowed to do soooo much showing off. We know that you can sing so stop trying to turn this song into a concert performance... like "THE QUEEN OF HIPHOP SOUL" Ms Mary J Blige

[treeee3]

i dont get it was she showing it respect or turning it into a concert in your opinion?

she showed it r.e.s.p.e.c.t.!

!

she was asome!!

and the best so far!!!!!!!

I LOVE YOU MARRYAAAA!!!!!

[joanninmass]

my words kinda ran into each otha, I was sayin this is how every 1 should sing it

[ilovemusic4529]

i personally am not one of her hugest fans, but this to me was her best vocal performances. I really didn't know that she could do some of those things with her voice

[Marvinglz]

Very shaky and boring! Why does she have to yell!? eh!

[queenb107yahoocom]

loved mary ever since she came out!!! but i must say it was close between her and beyonce for #1 but mary won of course!

[cautionlight357]

i love mary regardless. Whitney is the best ever, but mary did a great job and i commend her. thanks baby lol

[2scoopz]

It was nice. A bit shaky at parts but she brought the emotion. Not the best, Beyonces, Destinys Childs, Whitneys, Celines, Xtinas, Pattis and more were more polished and better vocally. However she did a good job

[momodani7]

man I luv Mary

[western08]

Beautiful...gave me chills!!!!!

[taztytreat]

G000D G0D!!! G0 HEAD MARY

[Reno2487]

At 1:49 did she say that our fag was still there?? Someone PLEASE answer that question for me

[jaman2010]

yes she did say that

[natehicks100]

beyonce is my love and my heart but she stole that last part from mary

[MysteryLadiez]

wow.. dat was so 'mary'..i loved it!

[mamalapingadeandre40]

mary is one of my favorites i have her cd but you know whats funny when i watched beyonce sing the star spangled banner" you cant tell at the end mary kinda copyed beyonce. just hear it on youtube. at the end of beyonce voice just watch.

[Trwkeys]

didn't like the beginning but go head girl at the end.

[StaceDogg315]

Wow!! At the climax of this perfomance, it started to storm!!! The rain came down and Mary blew the song away. Amazing!!! It was the perfect ending.

[FunksUTube]

Mary, unbelievable as usual! The best r&b/soul singer to ever live!

[Aim05]

Mary Mary Mary...what can I say besides never again..thoes high notes..AND low notes are NOT your friends....SAD!

[IrishBMusic]

wow ok i love this : ) one of my favorites....along with whitney's : )

[sweetme1977]

My girl!

[thetriplethreat3]

GREAT..put her own twist on it

[Dboy4100X]

not good.

[saltnpepafanatic2009]

HELL NAW!

THIS CHICK CAN'T SING!

[akashaaliyah]

beautiful! i love it!

[lilkahlil2002]

MJB is my fav artist of all time...buh this was denied for me...i guess if '94 Mary did it i woulda lyked it better

[fizzwify]

Tell me if I'm wrong but I just relized that out of all singers who sanged the anthem, she did it on a stage how cOol is that(lol)...Go Mary.

[cgemini19821]

mary j. blige sound good

[toyoyta34]

you go mary

[RoyceRoyal1987]

MJB 4 LIFE BABY!!!!

[Jumc11]

To: Kimmy1884

Who goes and watch artist they don't like and constantly says the samething!!! That's stupid!! Your stupid!! Hater fall back!!

[kimmy1984]

She needs music because she can't sing accapella. And she still sounded bad with the music. She is the absolute one of the worse singers ever.

[Jumc11]

She sung this song the best!!!!!!!

[Jumc11]

This 1 was way better than Mariah's version!!!!!!!!! And it doesn't sound similar because Mariah didn't stretch the word brave out like Mary did!!!!!

[cynthiagallardo]

she sucked mariah was way better. and mary copied her from the 2002 anthem.

[Jumc11]

This 1 was way better than Mariah's version!!!!!!!!! And it doesn't sound similar because Mariah didn't stretch the word brave out like Mary did!!!!!

[cynthiagallardo]

whatever she still sucks

[kimmy1984]

She wished she could sound like Mariah. Most people sing it accapella her terrible singing won't allow her to do that.

[saiintdaentertainer]

This version by Mary sounds better than Mariah's version of the star spangled banner was good but this 1 is better

[mail2jjj]

Bravo......;-}

[LadyTazz2007]

She didn't miss not one key. I remember I saw an interview when she said her self that you won't get a performance where she wouldn't miss one key. I have to disagree with you Mary J. Blige because this performance was flawless. Loved every bit of it. Absolutely Beautiful!

[slimthug17]

Mary was not playing yall she snapped!!!!

[Jumc11]

She sung this song the best!!!!!!!

[leezymleezy]

fukkin freak

[KennyLoveS]

lol:stop hating bicth.

All this counter bashing.

[dtw]

This is beatiful. She keep it slow and steady

[argent55]

[MikeyTyler100]

[maybj01]
