    God bless Mary J. Blige and Andrea Bocelli for this important, historical proclamation of the Christ. Oh, that we would all know the depth and wonder of what God has both prophesied and accomplished through Jesus Christ.
    *"Who has believed what we have heard? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?"*
    *"For he grew up before him like a young plant, and like a root out of dry ground; he had no form or comeliness that we should look at him, and no beauty that we should desire him."*
    *"He was despised and rejected by men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief; and as one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not."*
    *"Surely, he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted."*
    *"But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that made us whole..."* --[Isaiah 53, v1-5]

I wrote her a note of encouragement and hopefully she will find peace w/this fantastic performance by all. Oprah would never treat Andrea with any kind of disrespect and for the matter Oprah is and will always be a giving, loving person... to all!

    He is often described as the best singer of all time, or even the voice of god, has sang for kings, queens, presidents, popes, has sold nearly 80 million albums in only 15 years, and Mary herself will tell u she is the one honoured to sing with him. You should listen to some of his songs before making such ignorant statements.
