Mary is one of my five. It is her, LeAndria Johnson, Fantasia, Tamala Mann, and Stephanie Mills. All will have me in tears agaisnt my WILL!! And I love them all for that. I didn't even name Aretha - she's already understood to be on this list. I was not meaning to cry on this.....but Mary got me...again....
Every artist has a song that is not one of their big hits or award winning songs. But it is one of their most emotional or poignant.. or one that captures the artist at their best. THIS is one of those songs for Mary J.
I love this video reaction and you’re right no one can sing like Mary. She is one of a kind. Her passion and emotion is unmatched. Can you please do a reaction to her singing “Come rain or come shine”. That is another amazing performance.
Great reaction. Her vocal style reminds me of the mid to late 70s greats for some reason (e.g. Candi Staton, Ann Peebles). I would love to see you react to Whitney and Mary covering Ain't No Way by Aretha Franklin at Divas Live.
If you want more live stuff, its a lot out there but to be honest, some of her best aren't even her own songs. One of her greatest performances to me was at a tribute to Ray Charles, she sung twice, a duet with Elton John of Night Time is the Right Time and then a STUNNING version of Come Rain or Come Shine. There's also her performance of Sorry Seems to be the Hardest Word from the Mobo Awards. These clips are old and somewhat grainy but the audio quality is good enough. Then there is the infamous performance of Aretha's Ain't No Way alongside Whitney Houston at Divas Live.
@Bridge The Gap Reactions It was at a time in both their lives where they were dealing with addiction issues. Both were known to perform under the influence, and many people thought great of the performance, that they were both under the influence but that it was the reason for the freedom and emotion behind their performance but honestly, anytime they hit a stage together the energy was like that.
“I’ve never heard anyone sing like this.” Oh, we gotta get you into the The Clark Sisters. They’re a gospel group, but they have inspired a lot of R&B singers like Mary. Singers with that soul and passion.
He said what he said and he’s telling the truth. No one can do what Mary does. She may have been inspired by the Clark sisters but she has her own style of singing.
Hi Johnny. Precious is one of those movies I wish I had never watched. It was very disturbing and traumatizing I do not recommend it to anyone. On a brighter note, this was my first time seeing this performance and MJB slay-ed this.

Yay! I am restored. YT can be a piece of work sometimes and it can get exhausting. But thank you for resolving the issue. I enjoy your content and look forward yo your reactions to my favorite artists.
