That Album 'My Life' was the start of my discovery in music that had true meaning,when Mary sung it was different,you felt every lyric her passion was on next level.Thats when i became Mary's biggest fan. They were something about Mary J that made me stand up. 🎶 The goose bumps behind my neck made me listen. Now i know why she's a survivor of rape just like me.🦋 So it made sense when she poured her heart she was telling you her story of what she was dealing with in her life. Thank you, Mary J Blige 😘

First of all I didn't even know that Jemele Hill had a podcast or RU-vid channel interviewing celebrities, I am so late to the party and Second, Mary J Blige is a national treasure. This by far was one of the best celebrity interviews I have seen in years. It is just something so genuine about Mary even when she is going through something that makes you root for her and love her. True singers who really touch us with their music can probably never guess how many millions of people they have touched and healed through their God given gift. Mary is one artist who I will always love and support. Jemele HIll is also awesome such a great interviewer!

@JM-qg9bo 3 месяца назад

Well they have two different interviewing styles. Mary and Angie are actually friends too. Both interviews were great, and offers her audience different info/perspective. For me it's absolutely unnecessary to always compare women, especially black and brown women. You love the interview so just say that.
