Mary J. Blige Performs “My Life,” Real Love,” & More In ICONIC Performance! | BET Awards 2019 

Mary said, “I’ll do my OWN damn tribute!😤” lmfaooo and I ain’t even mad😭

Why are these all the songs black moms used to blast on Saturday mornings when it's time to clean the damn house. I been waking up to Mary on weekends all my life 😂

This performance honestly lives rent free in my head. Mary’s music raised me… give her all of her flowers man!💐💐💐

Every couple of months I come and watch my free concert can’t get enough of it 😂

I love how NO dude in the audience was "too cool" to sing Mary J Blige. #respect

Our generation has the best music 💪🏾💪🏾 sorry youngins

I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of this performance, like I’ve watched it TOO many times lmao 😭 her killing it is one thing but the energy the crowd threw back at her is insane. I hear she’ll perform and be honored at the Billboard awards, let’s hope they appreciate her the same way!

The chemistry between her & Method man 😍 they perform well together 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

WHO WATCHED THIS MORE THAN ONCE!? 🙋... 😍😍😍

How many of yall knew every song hit that button #mjb

Mary J + Method Man = MAGIC ✨✨

15:43 Kim’s stage presence is INSANE, not alotta female MCs come across THIS confident & comfortable while performing.

15 minutes of my entire childhood, teens, and grown women day ALL IN ONE!!! LUV IT!!!!!

I nearly fainted when Method Man showed up. That man is so FINE!!!!!

I’ve watched this 10,895 times!! I feel like I’m there jamming with everybody in the audience.. Makes me feel like I’m in my 20’s!! Love Mary!!

Gotta give credit where credit is due. The 90s music scene would not have been the same without this woman right here. Mary, thank you for sharing your gift, your struggles, and your joy with us. My childhood is filled with wonderful memories underscored by your music. MJB's catalog is the soundtrack to many of our lives. Thank you, queen!

Mary’s catalogue is outstanding. Almost every song is a classic

Mary J got all the Thugs singin and dancin along😂

She took me back to my childhood. So glad I grew up in the 90s.

The New York vibes in this performance! unmatched. The fire escape stage prop, the swag🗽

My favorite part of Mary J Blige's performance was seeing everybody dancing in the aisles and having fun. This is how the BET Awards should be every year. 👏🏿👏🏿

CALLING ALL 80'S BABIES 90'S KIDS!!! 🗣 MARY IS UNMATCHED 💎❤👸🏾

I don’t think no one can give a tribute to Mary like Mary can ❤🎉

Child it’s been 3 years and I’m still watching this on a daily basis

I love that Mary & Kim remained friends til this very day, Real friendz

She 100% did that. Had me in my living room in FULL CONCERT

Who is still watching this today?????? So proud of her! Queen for sure

The way everybody was standing up jamming to her songs says a whole lot. I loved her from the beginning 💞

She got every age group in the crowd moving! Yes, Mary still kills it!

Thank you BET for giving Mary J Blige her flowers while she can still smell them 💐!!!

Who walking round a stage like that with heels on like that Mary is and will always be a legend

I’m loving how an audience full of celebrities is FANNING OUT over MJB!! 🥰🙌🏾🥰🙌🏾🥰

This was so lit… but when Kim came out the energy went up even more 🔥🔥🔥🔥

This performance will forever be iconic, it just never gets old 😍😍

I am so PROUD TO BE BLACK all day everyday! this QUEEN slay my life! got me here dancing, laughing, crying with happiness! ESSENCE OF CULTURE!!!

I'm so proud to be apart of 90s era. Mary J Blige....THE QUEEN

This woman came from Yonkers,had a drug addiction & some failed relationships & she pushed thru all that to still have grace & humility.She is an inspiration to me for real.People always say Mary can’t dance but if u give her time to practice she can keep rhythm but this was by far her best performance every & she not only was given her flowers 💐 but she went home & put them in a beautiful vase & sat them on her mantle 🎉❤💯👏🏾🔥💪🏾

When the crowd started singing “I’m going down” I got chills. Has Always been one of my fav songs & also, how cute is Cardi B all star struck & mesmerized by Mary? Haha love it. 🤍

When you do your own tribute, with all your signature moves... Boss

I cried...danced...yelled and reminisced within these last 20 minutes. 💜💜💜💜💜Mary 4Ever 💛💛💛💛 A Huge Fan Since 1992

4 years on and NEVER gets old!! 🔥

One of the best live performances of time,not necessarily for the singing but just the mere presence and the crowd engagement. Hit after hit after hit. Goat!!

Crazy thing is she still got more bangers left 20mins aint enough time... Queen 👑 mjb

When Lil Kim spit “who gon love you like i do huh?!” I felt it 😩

This woman is like Stevie wonder. Hit after hit after hit. Her catalog is crazy.

This performance will forever be iconic.

I love how she ain’t even have to sing I’m Going Down bc the whole audience sang it for her😭❣️

Mary did the best tribute to herself she knew no one else could do it

I have watched this at least 30 times and it never GETS OLD!!! I love you MJB!!! Get it sis!!!

The crowd is going off. The love for Mary and her music is legendary and this shows it perfectly. If you didn't grow up during this time, you really missed THE BEST. Every song here is a STAPLE in the cultural index of Hip Hop Soul & R&B history. Iconic!

Mary walked into BET and was like....the only person I will trust ya'll with doing a tribute to me....is ME.... SHE DID THAT!

I felt that whole performance in my 90's spirit!

The ENTIRE audience is partying ON THEIR FEET!! This is so many levels above awesome! ❤❤

Only things missing were “Family Affair” and “Be Without You” I love that she did the remix to Love No Limit! Be Happy is my fave MJB song ever!

MJB 48 LIL Kim 45 Method man 48 Diddy 49 Man black dont crack at all love it

That wasn't a performance. That was a concert x 100!!! The highlight of the ENTIRE show!!! This woman never ceases to amaze me. Long live the queen!!!! ⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑

Auntie’s signature 2-Steps give me life 😍😎

Black culture is a beautiful sight to see.!! 🖤🖤💃🏾🕺🏾

Lil' Kim looked and sounded AMAZING! Mary gave a phenomenal performance.

IM SO HAPPY SHE DID HER SIGNATURE DANCE MOVES LMAO

This whole performance brought me to tears. Mary J Blige songs were my childhood. So many memories. Good and bad. She bought me through. She bought a lot of us through crazy times.

Method man look tf good 😍😍😍

Rihanna there watching like a student watching her mentor 👌🏿

This generation will never understand how DOPE the 90's were. ✌🏾😎

She ain't lying about no more pain in her life..... I've been single for 5 years, no more beating me because something was done on time. No more keeping me away from my family & friends. No more waiting for him because he didn't come home for two days, sometimes 7 whole night, no words from him. I'm just home alone on my own. No more red lipstick on his collar that is not my shade of color. No more condoms in his clothing when washing his clothes. No more choking me because I was late coming from work,mall,birthday parties for relatives,food shopping,hair appointments,doctor appointments. I'm free like a bird🕊, and now I can fly 🕊away to see the things I truly love and miss.🌎🏖🏝🥰

Still in love with this Medley ❤️ i think i Watch this once a week sincèrement it came out

Mary looks SNATCHED 🔥 Method Man is STILL so damn FINE 😍 Kim’s burgundy look was a mood & fits her SO well!

Lil Kim was READYYYY🤣🤣🤣 I ain't want her to leave the stage lol

My most favourite awards stage performance. The crowd just gives that right energy 🔥🔥🔥

I love how we as a people can come together and sing with each other. We feel it and we know it. The audience participation was beautiful.

I wonder if new artist while watching Mary's performance... think about their music and say "does my music have substance and how valuable will it be 20 years from now?" .... let's keep REAL music ALIVE!!

Mary is that Auntie everyone has in their family, cool, calm , and collected.

2024 still here! Go Mary!

Her swag is on another level

I didn't realize how much I missed Mary until this performance❤

I hope Mary knows her song, "My Life" saved a lot of lives

I love how everyone and the crowd just grooving

51 and still rocking the crowd!

If you grow up listening to this kind of music you was raised right i love me some mary j blige

When you hear music like this and you feel so blessed that you were born in an era where music was and still is untouchable. Music these days has nothing on the 90s!!!

She proved she's definitely the queen 👑 for realz😂😍🙌🏾

Been through a lot with her songs. She's one of the best

BET: Who can we get to sing a tribute to Mary J. Mary J: Hold my Pepsi

She is rocking the hell out of this all white outfit and boots.

This performance made me cry 😢❤ I was sooo happy 😂

I love her and Lil Kim together!

She look like money, health, good decisions and prayers 💎 *church wave

Man I’m so happy I grew up in the 90s 🥰

I watch this every week. It's An Absolute Classic Performance. 🎵🎵🔥 Respect 2 The Queen. MJB

This brought me back to my clubbing days, old friends, some real good memories. Smiled and cried all the way through to the end

I can never hear a Mary track without thinking of my mother. 😍😭 Rest easy mommy!

She look rich & unbothered 😩😍🔥🙌🏽 how im trying to be lol

She’s been my favorite since the moment I was able to understand the emotion behind music. Her music got me through every breakup I’ve had. And I’ve had the pleasure see her in person sing the song that helps me get through those breakups in person (Be Happy). I’m forever grateful for her

Oh nothing …just watching for the 98th time 🤷🏾‍♀️💜💜💜😂

When she brought out Kim and Meth. I was like ok let’s go. MJB ain’t playin

Method Man age like fine wine, lawd have mercy 😍😋

So many hits, so many songs that bring me back to the old days. Mary J is so talented. She needs to have a concert.
