Week 112: Mary J. Blige Week! #5 - Enough Cryin ft. Brook Lynn 

Fun fact...Brook Lynn is Mary J. Blige's alter ego. Lol @ y'all not noticing it was her.😂😂😂 Great review.

@weeklytop5 for thirty years there have been only one, never duplicated Mary J. Blige.

"Spartan kicks the guy right off the front porch." 😂 I was fully tickled and amused by that. The strings section is crazy and my absolute favorite.

This definitely wouldn’t have been in my top 5 Mary J songs but we’ll see where this list goes. Mary is one of my faves 💜

@weeklytop5 Hi Mike and Joe!!!!!!!!! First off, thank you so very much for the amazing compliment! I wish you could see my smile! I’m so excited for this week and your commentary. I love your bop and grove to this. And yes Mary is referred to as MJB.

GREAT CHOICE CHANTAE! Love this song! Great reaction too!

My auntie ADORES Mary. This is one of her favorite songs because she was going through a traumatic divorce at the time.

Oh finally we getting Mary J Blige week!!! So excited!

This was one of the Mary J Blige songs I grew up with due to my mother always playing her. I’m glad this is one of the songs that the commenter chose. It’s one of my top 10 Mary songs and I occasionally listen to it in my head. Since you entered the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul’s territory, I think dedicating a week to one of the other R&B queens would be great. Toni Braxton Week 1! #5. He Wasn’t Man Enough #4. Breathe Again #3. You’re Makin’ Me High #2. Just Be A Man About It #1. Unbreak My Heart She is one of the best selling female artists of all time, has several Grammys and other awards, was one of the leading acts of the 90s, and she is known for her numerous hits and her very distinct and unique voice, trust me you guys would love it. I couldn’t fit all of her hits in this list, but I think these may be some of her best and most important songs. A week dedicated to this legend would be amazing.

I love this song

This album was EVERYTHING!!

I was in the audience at the Tamron Hall Show last week and she was one of the guest. She so humble a great performer over the last 30 years, one of a kind❤

I hope we get 90s Mary on the list. If there was a coaching tree, Mary is how you get to Keyshia Cole. The soulful girls from the hood who started all the street fashions. An icon.

This is my girl! The "Mary" album is my personal fav.

Those vocals! Babyyyyy! She mixed Anita Baker and Aretha Franklin in the most awesome way and we are so blessed to be here to enjoy it. I hope we get a Mary J Blige live week in the future. Will def be posting a list when it’s time to.

YES! MARY J. BLIGE, QUEEN OF HIP HOP SOUL.

I love Mary J Blige!

Whew Mary can have like 3-4 weeks or more! But good start fellas! And yea the strings go crazy- I never noticed that as much as I did in this video! 👏🏾🔥

So happy to see Mary’s got a week!!!

Clearly, we are the O-Bliged!

You guys need to go all the way back to Whats the 411? Era

MJB . . . Excellent . .. This is going to be a Week for the R & B + Hip Hop . . . . History Books . . .

Thank you Chantae!❤

She went so hard starting from the bridge, then the rap, and the break down OMG that was always my favorite part of the song ❤️❤️❤️ straight masterpiece

Thanks, guys! I love finding music I haven't heard before. You always make it entertaining. Thanks for putting a smile on my face daily!

Dang this unlocked a memory. I forgot about this song 😩 immediately added it to my Spotify lol. Such a banger!

@weeklytop5 Joe and your sage advice on taking a lover. You guys bring me so much joy. IYKYK 😉☺️🥰

This is one of my songs from the breakthrough album (2005)

Love this reaction! Mary J is one of my favourite artists. FYI, the song was produced by legendary RnB producer Rodney Jerkins (known as "Darkchild"). He's also written and produced for artists like Whitney, Toni Braxton and Destiny's Child.

you were right about her having aretha franklin qualities. that’s one of her biggest influences

Lil Kim week please 5. Crush on you 4. How Many Licks 3. Jump Off 2. Lighters Up 1. Black Friday

Hilary Duff Week 5 - Come Clean 4- Wake Up 3 -Sparks 2 - With Love 1 - Stranger

Yessss the Queen of RnB! I'm excited 💃🏾💃🏾

Mary J Blige rules

If Mary is wearing an all white outfit, the song is a banger. If she is wearing more than one white outfit...

Not sure if this should b here. I forgot all about this song. Great song though

Another banger guys! 🔥🔥🔥

React to "Be Without You"

Can we get an Xscape Week? 5 great sonhs by them are: Tonight, Who Can I Run To?, Softest Place on Earth, Kickin' It, Understanding

Nice!!! I’m going down better be on this list🤗🤗🤗

It’s no surprise you brought up Keyshia Cole bc when she debuted everyone was saying she’s the next Mary.

Love and enjoy your videos so much guys!! 😁 Another fun fact: Jay Z wrote this verse for Brook Lynn!! 😌🔥

Ooop 😂😂😂 the way I was gathered. I’m sorry Mike and Joe 😭please forgive me.

Yay!

K .Michelle 1 V.S.O.P 2 Can’t raise a man 3Maybe I should call 4 Love Em all 5 Not a little bit

Most fascinating thing about this video was the sheer amount of looks MJB gave in this one go (I guessed 12, went back and counted a total of 13!). The Breakthrough was an era to remember boy. Whew.

Correct that Mary's adlibs approximate instruments. In a lot of black music vocal tradition, singers will use adlibs to punctuate the song the way an instrument would. It's a very jazz approach. Mary is heavily influenced by Chaka Khan who is considered one of the greats at that. Very astute observation.

Fun Fact: Jay-Z wrote the rap verse for her.

you guys should react to raye but her live performances

Can yall please react to Ciara. I’m the one that’s been requesting her. I requested her on y’all RU-vid live months ago. Ciara week 1.goodies 2.promise 3.1/2 step 4. Ride 5. Get up

NERD WEEK 1. N.E.R.D - Rockstar 2. N.E.R.D - Lemon ft Rihanna 3. N.E.R.D - She Wants to Move 4. N.E.R.D - Hot n Fun 5. N.E.R.D - Hypnotize You :)

Can y’all do Ciara week? #5 Oh #4 Promise #3 got me good #2 dance like we’re making love #1 how we roll

Shakira week !

How did this song make the list, when Mary has about 30 huge hits

Please react to Eurovision 2024 contestants like Ukraine 🇺🇦 amazing song

THIS was on somebodies Top 5 Mary J videos for week 1?!? ….ok.. Hopefully the rest of the week doesn’t turn out like a Keisha Cole week 1 type list.

This is a poor list - Straight up! Mary has such an extensive catalog of music. Her collaborations alone are a feast! this list is just the tip and doesn't showcase her range! I think you could get a better idea of her with live performances. She has stretched her musical influence to Pop, House, Soul R&B, Rock and Country. To even start with "enough crying" is simply a joke! And i am unanimous in this! 😅 (in my Ms Slocombe voice)

Chris Brown week 🙏🏾 (been w8ing a damn year!) 1• Kiss Kiss 2• Run It! 3• Fine China 4• Turn Up The Music 5• No Air ru-vid.com/group/PLqLrfLbM5FsC1chd8wRpeACByl2NFvmHL&si=Yxpdo-rehrT2Sbhe
