This literally had me in tears. She spoke the truth and Lord knows the damage thats done when your parents don't show you that love. I loved the performance.
I have this whole concert on dvd and it is just gut wrenching and brought me to tears. I know Mary has been through some things and I just cannot imagine not being there for my child if I had one. You'd have to pry my away.
Mary J Blige you have no idea the amount of people you help trough you’re music. I love you for that! You give me chills and God uses you as a vessel to help people! Thank you for telling your brave story through your music! 🙏🙏🙏
Yo, I love the HELL out of Mary, always have! I met her 4 times in my life, she's beautiful inside and out, and her music is a reflection of her experiences, of her soul! She feels like Phyllis Hyman with her energy!
Daddy where were you? OmG!😢 Yes, WHERE THE FUCK WERE YOU??? 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I can so relate.....this one messes me up everytime. I love you Mary. Creator Bless!
Shit Mary, I felt that! I would know. Got one hell of a complicated relationship of my own. Mary J Blige, everyone's storyteller, y'all! Nothing but the Goddamn truth!
This band is so good, those keyboard players play as 'one' so well. Check that chord change fill at 2:26 .. Dig how the rest of the band recognizes that!! Thats a band. Anyone out there geeking at this as much as me? If you do, then can you tell me what keyboard bass sound that bass man is using cos that is huge and I want it. Cheers..
yesss mary. thats why i love you so much. you speak for a lot of people through your music by putting your own life experiences in it and ultimatley you help people. and not only women either. YOU SAVE LIVES
Mary you’re phenomenal! You keep all of us REAL. You are by far the most popular powerhouse with a beautiful soul and spiritual message! As much as you’ve already done l think you could do more to help this Country stop and think more than any politician!! I’m just putting it out here! Thank you for the love you continue to share!
This performance was so powerful, it's still powerful!!! Wish i had been there, I'm from chi too. But, happy I seeit now. The band, bkrd singers eerybody on point. Thank you
Man this song make me cry because i lived this my life personally and it hurts because i had all them questions for my mother and father its sad it killed me badly .Thanks Mary .J
alright now first lady blige! reach my soul, reach my spirit, and so real! i love every bit of MJB. i been a super fan since 1992 when i first you remind me! my goodness!!
ohh my... this had me in tears.... i love MJB and this was good... she went through that and she put it all out there! and i dont blame her @ all... i can't repair ma feelings on my own but i do pray..
Maaaaaan!!!! Mary has some pitch issues but I tell you what, I take vibe over technique ANY DAY!! Her vibe is so awesome! One of the best records she has ever recorded. Loving this performance.
Thad...no singer does it purposely. She simply has natural pitch issues, its her ear. She can say she does it purposely but a singer can still convey the emotion in key. Too many before her have done it. I aint mad at her. Its vibe over technique everyday all day.
I sing to the family of familiar strangers that make up the individuals that call San Diego's downtown home. Young and Old I am in awe of the strength of u all and I am thankful to have been privalged to be and been a part of the living lives of u all. Like me or not I love you all the family of familiar strangers faces😂I could never forget. Written by: Natasha ShaeniQ'ue (c notes woman friend 😅)
Unfortunately I was one of these kids, and it didnt hit me as hard until I became an adult. And now I resent both of my parents who pushed me off, and its hard to repair someone whos been hurt. Especially by their parents. I mean its bad enough when your hurt by your significant other, but when its your parents...someone whos suppose to love you unconditionally and with no limit. Its a hard thing to fix. But fortunately the family that raised me, treated me almost better than their own. Its real
LOVED this performance.... thanks so much for posting it... i have never seen her live but now I got a chance to, virtually anyways... that part at the end was so raw and real... it really touched me... that's what's so amazing about mjb, nothing fake about her!

As a child singing this song in my mom mirror with a brush I never thought this song would have meaning in my life TODAY and with my child.
This band is so good, those keyboard players play as 'one' so well. Check that chord change fill at 2:26 .. Dig how the rest of the band recognizes that!! Thats a band. Anyone out there geeking at this as much as me? If you do, then can you tell me what keyboard bass sound that bass man is using cos that is huge and I want it. Cheers..
Johnny Lawrence I don't know what bass sound is being used but that chord change is too sweet!

Maaaaaan!!!! Mary has some pitch issues but I tell you what, I take vibe over technique ANY DAY!! Her vibe is so awesome! One of the best records she has ever recorded. Loving this performance.
+IndustryPlay360 STFU dumb ass, it's called singing from the soul and emotional. REAL SOUL SINGER!
+Mary Khan LOL...I am not going to cuss you because obviously you don't have a clue nor understand what I said. Have a marvelous day!
She does it on purpose. She has said it over and over. It's done to evoke the emotion she wants to convey. I mean, it's so obvious.
Thad...no singer does it purposely. She simply has natural pitch issues, its her ear. She can say she does it purposely but a singer can still convey the emotion in key. Too many before her have done it. I aint mad at her. Its vibe over technique everyday all day.
IndustryPlay360 Patti has for years! And Mary was pitch perfect! This was a blues performance not technical soul!
I really felt that part! it hits close to home :(
Continue to tell Your Testimony Mary!!
Omg that was simply incredible. What year was this? My jaw is on the floor.
I sing to the family of familiar strangers that make up the individuals that call San Diego's downtown home. Young and Old I am in awe of the strength of u all and I am thankful to have been privalged to be and been a part of the living lives of u all.
Like me or not I love you all the family of familiar strangers faces😂I could never forget.
