    This is why Mary gets so many comparisons to her elders (Aretha, Billie, Nina), its not about vocal technique and acrobatics, which are great for those who can. It's because she manages to capture the pure grit and meaning behind every lyric.

    Mary killed it! She is probably one of the best live performers.She really really puts all her pain and emotion in her live performance and when she it's that hi-off note or whatever imperfection that is what makes it so incredible. THere is nuthin like hearing a soul singer with that raspy deep voice, that's what seperates her from the others who don't sound as genuine and deep as Mary. When I hear a emotional song I wanna hear that pain in the singers voice and MAry does that so damn well

    @fluidjazz Sorry dear. Didn't mean to offend you as you are obviously a fan but .. No - I don't need auditory implants. I am VERY proficient in listening as this is MY PROFESSION ... I am also a singer who has been trained and trained others to listen, how to follow chords and progressions, singing in key, harmonizing, etc. So, again, I apologize for offending you but ... it is what it is. Have you listened to Philip Bailey's version?

    A decent attempt by Mary, the ORIG is far superior, check out also UK very own Courtney Pine version absolutely sublime..
    THE REAL THING WAS FUNK/ SOUL BAND IN THE 70TIES (1977) WHO HAD A GREAT HIT WITH THE SONG.. you to me are everything/
    At the time of the release of this song in 1977 there were a lot of racism and Race riots in Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham ,London etc. This came out to inspire the YOUTHS of the UK at the time.
    Big respect to the Brothers Amoo wrote this gem.

    I'm sorry peeps ... but the band and background singers are PUTTIN' IT DOWN!!!!!! While I admire Ms. Blige for all of her accomplishments, I have listened to her many times, both live and her recordings. When singing live, she tends to kind of scream/holler and hit flat notes. If you listen carefully, you can hear it.

    @OGGilmoregirlz1 well...that's your opinion hun, but the PEOPLE don't care about all the standardized music rules, if it hits your soul, and uplifts you and you can relate, its not just music, its GOOD music,. POINT BLANK. Besides, the people who gives her grammys and such doesn't seem to agree with you lol. Just saying.
