@ BeGood4Eva, ikr. MJB Flawless as ever. The BEST!!!!!!

[reaginmx]

what can i say, the lady can really sing, i hope she sing more of this type of music, and as far as the hair and make goes i think it's fine,i really like the old hollywood look, and she wear it well.

[kagemousse]

very hot and sweet *-*

[da1nbkfinest1977]

To some who say her talent is wasted, I disagree. To the millions of fans who have been shaped by her voice, and who have came out of dispair and heartache (if you dont know what im talking about LISTEN to the My Life album) just by her music alone. And I have been a fan for 20 yrs almost. Its one thing to be a singer but another thing so massive and great to shape music, fashion and style. Only a few artists can say that and Mary is one. Her music is still alive and popular and she to thx

[WarrioressRising]

Beautiful tribute to our Ray from our beautiful girl, Mary is an inspiration.

[MzSarenaX]

never seen her eyes open as wide as they were at the end of this video.

[ComMANdeRSouR]

@MzSarenaX Ray Charles had a thing about opening peoples eyes.

[MzSarenaX]

i have NEVER seen her eyes open as WIDE as Mary's did at the end of this song! WOW! I liked the old Hollywood hair too.

[MaheiaRagin]

Mary J. You know you are wearing that hair girl! I'm not old enough to be able to honestly apprecitate the song, however I am a hairdresser in Real Life, and when I say you are wearing that blonde hair, please believe me "YOU ARE WEARING THAT HAIR!

[pittycross]

@MaheiaRagin Wow! I'll bet you are happy to get that off your chest. Obviously the most important thing here.

[ennui406]

Fabulous! The piano player is very cool also

[sorcerer3117]

Outstanding!

[willismaddenjr]

She is so beautiful

[FoxyBrownFan1]

I Love How Mary Put Her Soul Into This Song. ONLY Mary Could Do It!!! MJB BABY ALL THE WAY!!!

[pittycross]

Still in love.

[pittycross]

Oh yes. The right song, the right girl.

[dordor1014]

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwsome

[thestaydown]

Best performance by her ever!

[prevalcious]

damn i wish i could sing dat song

i love ray charles music

[AshleyBrittTV]

She look so pretty

[Senai31]

def. loving that dress..especially the back of it(:

[ratednine]

she looks ridiculous with blond hair.

[utbr01]

she looked radiant and sang like an angel!

[la9777]

SHE IS AWESOME AND HER MAKE UP IS AWESOME, THE HAIR AND THE ENTIRE PACKAGE.

[sk8rwannabe07]

i wish jazz artists like mary and queen latifah will do jazz, not just singing classic ones but writing new stuff as will....

[Anaias321]

amazing!

[refresherest1]

it dont matter what kind of music u like,u cant deny this woman

[SciPhyber]

She's wearin' contact lenses

[nochokin]

mary looks beautiful

[pittycross]

Yes, she's light coloured, but she 'just does it'.

[peterscoop]

she is so beautiful.....

[malkateltubbel]

queen uuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!

[pittycross]

Back again. Bloody awesome girl. Wish you would stick with this type of music.

[999xander999]

She is awesome!!! That note on the end wow!!!

[deepsix7]

Mary J.......Mary J....you go gurl!

[dlastqueen]

WOW!!! Again she rocked it!!! That dress was HOT!!!

[Mimiewal]

Mary rocked this song.

[itsdaveyj]

A lot of people seem to think she is wasting her talent on her style of music, but her style is what makes her Mary. Just because you don't like a style means that it justifies saying that someone who sings in that style is "wasting" their talent. Let Mary do Mary.

[itsdaveyj]

@itsdaveyj *doesn't mean

[strangeday2]

For new Mary fans, try to find somewhere her version of "Misty Blue" (never put to album, I think!). Awesome. Also, I highly recommend listens to "Goin Down", "911", "Rainy Dayz", the entire CD, "Share My World", and on and on.

[DJEMONDE]

misty blue is on her live album called the tour

[viccash63]

i love her heart and soul

[pittycross]

Love the way she moves.

[pittycross]

No worries mate. Only found her recently myself, can't understand how come she is not on TV etc, so everyone can see her. And appreciate.

I asked my nearly 30's age boys and they knew her. Mostly because of rap sort of music. Had a look at it but it wasn't this Mary. Hope she does more like this and it is posted here.

[LMatters1]

Having never heard of Mary Blige (apologies to her fans), i've just stumbled across this post. This lady has an amazing voice! This is the best version I've ever heard of this song.

Well, there you go, looks like my music collection is set to expand further. To Mary's fans (of which I'm now one), boy oh boy, have you guys got a taste for talent.

FunksUTube, thanks for posting!!

[Blige411]

@LMatters1 ive been a fan since the beginning. if you have listened to all of her in her entirty especially her in the last 2 years you can appreciate her more than her old stuff. she has become more refined. im loving this new mary better than the old. she has become phenomenal.

[pittycross]

As I said previously, I only 'found' Mary about a month ago. So have checked out some of her other songs here. Disappointed.

If she stuck to songs like this she would be a world beater.

Well that's my opinion anyway.

[Volvican]

Have to agree .. that voice is wasted on some of the stuff she does. Can you imagine an album of songs like this? More people should know her voice.

[chowitis]

@pittycross she IS doing well doing what she does...check the stats...what you means is you prefer this (?)...

[pittycross]

@chowitis Yes chow, I love her singing this song. This is the first song I ever heard her sing, and i fell in love with her, instantly.

[loitalove2009]

she so beautiful

[shakaland]

you think....??

[sixfobrutha]

AAAAAGGGHHH!!!!!! Thanx for posting this!!! I remember this performance and I was blown away!!! She looked and sounded just awesome. That last note was a MUTHA FUCKA!!! Lol....Mary has ALWAYS been one of my favorite 5 female singers, but this performance...to me...put her in the TRUE diva class!!!! Just superb in my opinion!!!! Not that she wasnt a diva before, but an intelligent person will understand.

[eddiefonzarelli]

wow!

[dididalalei1]

ooohhhh bbabbbyy..that´s wonderful!!!!!

absolutly!!!

[FATIME132]

mary j.blige?? une voix !!!!!!

[Bokaj01]

Mary...FUCK...Ray is proud! He's PROUD of this I PROMISE! You could have been one of the originals...fuck me...Ray's proud Mary...You're the bomb!

[pittycross]

Never heard of this beautiful lady until recently, and on You Tube, checking out Ray Charles.

Way to go baby.

[neon854]

Pretty good. She doesn't seem to put herself very much into it...

[itsdaveyj]

You should watch other performances then, because this singer is known for having soul. I recommend watching her performance of No More Drama from the Grammys.

[menashadude]

I've seen her in person and the more I hear her and the more I hear fFROM her makes me realize what everyone else already knows.....she iIS one of the greats.

[luvcandi2]

damn this was one of mary's best performances she sang the heck out of this song go mary get it.

[kamikazeVX]

come on,there's no replacement for legends ok.

[ironbuttermilk]

That was great!

Ummmm. . .haven't seen her in a looooong time. I don't remember her being nearly that. . .thick.

Geez!

God. . . . .ummmmm. . .(whew!). . . .damn sexy!!!

[agwata5]

mary has the ultimate celebrity posture that defines femininity to me, her eyes, her microphone grip and her firmness in that voice wires me tuned every single time! lord have mercy

[Kaalec]

[MissTinka00]

[bankebrum]

Happy to find this tune !! THX !!

Does anyone know where I´m

only here for Mary j Blige went ??

[isysslovestheoldies]

the best i have ever seen her

[robertus911]

I sure wish she could sing instead of just making a lot of noise.

[AaronMarshallsJr]

Mary Dam Dam Dam Dam Dam you are the sista that in my dreams a 1,000 times i've kissed her

[Laylaonly1]

Wow! Mary looks so beautiful!

[whiteboy976]

Ya damn Skippy!!! You betta not eva disrespect the Queen. The only one thats sold out is you!!!!!!

[cjs33139]

What's up with the light contact lenses and the blonde hair? Mary has just sold out to oppressive white standards of beauty. Sad. Just like Beyonce, they all start out dark haired/skinned and get paler and paler.

[RITASTYPE]

close your eyes and listen to this sincere true beautiful tribute to a soulful man, whom AT 5 watched his brother die, at 7 went blind had no father sent away to boarding school, alone,traumatized by his brothers death, his mother died while he away still just a boy, thus: an orphan, homeless, blind, black and poor yet at look at the legacy he gave the world she was there for Ray. what legacy will you be leaving?

[MizzCubianSweetness]

Oh Hell Nooooooooo Ya Motha Is Pale Dead.Dont Eva Talk About Mary Like That.

[isysslovestheoldies]

she always wore blonde hair from the start though, cjs33139

[whiteboy976]

"jeffnationaltrade" why don't you Google "Queen of Hip Hop Soul" and see what you get(Mary). I ain't knockin Aretha's talent but, she can't hold a candle to mary wit dis song!

[jeffnationaltrade]

Arethan was given that name back in the 60' or 70, that name was given to her first.

[jeffnationaltrade]

I mean queen of soul, hip was not out then!

[mjb4dreal]

Aretha was given the tilte "Queen of Soul" Mary J. Blige was given the tilte "Queen of Hip Hop Soul," and new genre she created by singing over hip hop beats with her soulful voice!!!

[jeffnationaltrade]

Who song at the President Inauguration

Aretha!

[mjb4dreal]

Mary also sung at the inauguration and the inauguation ball!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jeffnationaltrade]

My point is Aretha was giving the name first back in the 60' s or 70's Queen of Soul!

[mjb4dreal]

Aretha was given the title "Queen of SOUL" and Mary was given the title "Queen of HIP-HOP SOUL," a new genre!!!!! Nobody is trying to take Aretha's title!!! They are two different titles and artists!!!

[Orlando22Billy]

why are you been a hater the lady can sing her but off

[MWaits]

OMG! Mary!

My Favorite is when she takes her time and goes to wear I do not think she will go. She goes for the high note at the end. She is right on the edge, and might not make it. She fights, she wins!!!

I, as the audience, is feeling tense, then the release as she holds the note and opens her eyes.

Oh my, it is a bit sexual, isn't it?

Thanks for posting this.

Hail Mary.

[betaBoomer]

I see what you mean - this song is off beat - difficult to sing to with all the improvising

this is one of my favorite Ray Charles songs and she does a GREAT job (she almost looks like she is starting to cry at the end)

thanks for posting- never seen it before :)

[jamaine333]

This is why she is the Queen... All I can say is this bitch is bad .I cant wait to see her in the Nina Simone story.. She absolutely fantastic.. Very classy performance, She looks absolutely beautiful. And look at the rump on Mary. Damn I didn't know she was holding like that. Kendu is a very lucky man. LONG LIVE QUEEN MARY

[jeffnationaltrade]

Aretha Franklin is the queen of sorry, if you do not belief me just goole "QUEEN OF SOUL'

[whiteboy976]

PERFECTION

[dropfan195]

she loooks fine there

[bartdekale]

what a nice lady,what a nice voice

[ennui406]

damn she's hot!!!!!!!!!

[te5041]

This is why i LOVE HER SO MUCH!

[hslovett02]

[farkasvar]
