They also did a remix of _Be With You_ from Mary's very rare _My Life Remix EP_ that came out as Mary was transitioning from that album to the _Share My World_ album.
The vibe of the audience just took the performance to a higher state of perfection, you never see that anymore. I wish folks these days knew how to just vibe with the artists visibly, like in this video.
That wasn’t just a performance but a special moment in time. All the love coming from the voices of black women (not just Mary J & Lauryn but everyone in the room) is something to behold
A lot of ppl don’t understand that a natural voice is the greatest voice and Lauryn knew of Mary’s powerful vocals and knows that the music industry has a lane for everyone. Mary was in a box and still is but she has utilized that box and has shown what she is capable of. Lauryn may have sung the song better but what the song needed Lauryn couldn’t give. True artists knows art. Mary is gifted and this song, like many other songs, need her. Both Ladies are Goddesses
As nice as your comment is I’m gonna have to respectfully disagree. MJB broke out of the box that the industry tried to put her in. She has worked with multiple Artist from all musical backgrounds and has recorded material that wasn’t the “ norm” for her. Like “ The London Session “. Additionally MJB sings this song better to me. Some Artist can write for other singers who knows that only the singer can sing the song like it’s meant to be sung.
This was the best performance, hands down on the Queen Latifah Show, no doubt ! The energy was so high in there, no blunt was needed, and if you had a blunt you would've lost your buzz, because the performance was off the chain !!!!!!
Damm L looks soo happy god I wish she really knew her full potential and the true fan base she had and has behind her love her and of course Queen MJB!!!
Sad feeling comes over when I see the media Lauryn of the past. She truly entertained & inspired with her style, grace, class & integrity to the craft. & I know they're are some who dismiss her. Everybody has a preference. I hope that she is ok. She was an innovator. If not returning to this particular brand keeps her mentally stable & alive then keep what doing what you're doing Lauryn. Continue to stay healthy Mary & I enjoy your form of entertainment.
No word of a lie , this brought a tear to my eye, two beautiful black queens showing a genuine love for each other on stage. What a powerful force Mary J and Lauryn are. ABSOLUTE LEGENDS!!!
this was the 90s, R&B had officially taken over(now it's rap!) it was the new wave of black music, everyone was a singer back then! Sort of like rap now and everyone wanting to rap; the new wave of black music
Ustle Arder that album was definitely influenced by Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. she was still honest but more self confident (we even saw her scar on the face for the 1st time)
Ustle Arder thats not true. they played more r&b on the radio during that time. there was alot of rap during that time and difft genres of rap. maybe in ur area, rap wasnt played on the radio a lot
I remember watching the show for the first time, when it came on TV..... The energy that came from the room through the TV was incredible, I mean there was no other like it. Hands down, that was the best performance on the Queen Latifah show EVER !! Everybody else who was on the show, didnt come close to the hype and energy that flowed from Mary and Lauryn, and thats real talk right there !!!!!
If someone can locate THIS version of Lauryn Hill, please let me know!!! See, this version was on pace to become the defining artist of our generation.. Mary nails it as always..
Right ! Although I know Lauryn was going through a lot personally which altered her career, I wish she was still on top how she should still be. She was a lot more talented than singers nowadays
"Classic" Mary at her best. I still have this recorded on a vcr tape somewhere. This song always on repeat at least 10x. Lol The Mary album was to prove that she was definitely serious about her career as a singer, after the My Life Album when she broke away from Puffy. She showed the whole world she's not just a 2 album fad. She's Mary J. Blige Queen of Hip-Hop Soul...black, beautiful, sexy, strong, a soulful, powerhouse; her voice sent by God to touch & heal. They'll try & imitate but there will never be another ..
I have a vcr tape somewhere too... I remember watching this live, the energy and the vibe was through the roof. I mean every time I watch this video, I get that same vibe.... to this day Queen Latifah has not had anybody on both shows who could ever top this performance... hell it was more than a performance it was a spiritual moment of energy flowing around there through song and creativity.
Such a spot on analysis. This was her magnum opus to be honest. The songwriting, production, instrumentation, and collaborations were mature and organic. This era of Blige doesn’t get enough recognition by Mary or by others
Mary is simply trying to make Lauren proud here. Though a little pitchy, her heart says I love you and I thank you Lauren for thinking enough of me to craft this Stevie Wonderesque classic.
Mary's having fun, she's singing that song with such grit and great energy. You can feel love, respect, she and Lauren have for each other. This is Truly Awesome. Great Performance. 😊
I'm old, and always complainin' there's no one like Sarah and Nancy - and there isn't - but then, there's no one like Mary J. and Lauryn, neither. These women satisfy everything I need from music in a couple of minutes.
This song was another game changer for Mary J. She doesn’t have to be the best singer, but her songs match her voice extremely well and her low notes set her apart. No shade to Beyoncé, but Mary is the Queen of Hip Hop singers. And if anyone wants to know, CeCe Winans is the greatest singer of our time right now, hands down in my opinion.❤
i remember being young not loving this song because i was use to Mary singing heart break songs but now I'm so in love with this song and its 2017 and her raspy soulful voice
Paris Chanel Many people, even the critics, hated the Mary album because it was a departure from her old style!!! This was my favorite Mary album to date because it showed that she can step outside of the box she was put in and sing BEAUTIFUL, soul music!!!
I loved this song from the first time I heard it until this day. I remember the video and everything, but I tend to love what other people don’t…not on purpose…but it’s just always been that way
This one of my favorite songs in the world written and song by two of my favorite musicians ...the way they support and look at eachother ...made me tear up ...you can tell it’s love and mutual respect ...I love us and our ppl and culture 🙌🏾🙏🏾💯
I love how Lauryn was here. Just for Mary. Amd that’s It. She challenged Mary vocally. And it Was Perfection. Mary would of Sung it by herself Greatly. I love them
"Yo, when i let em know, i let em know. I was pulling the drive. They ready to die while i be ready to live. Ready to give. Love another shot to redeem. Feel what i mean. Aint no body rocking this team. Knocking this thing. We tried it with the conquering king. Coppin the dream, rising to the top of the cream. Saying, yo mary blige know what i mean. Yo mary blige know what i mean."
She wanted Whitney Houston to do this on "My Love Is Your Love" , when Whitney reached out to her for any new material, that she might have, and Lauren sends her best track, and I Learn From The Best, and Whitney decided to do "I Learned From The Best", which was also done by Lauryn Hill, I think when you really wanted to do "A Rose Is Still A Rose", but Lauren was like, oh Whitney you going to be so mad at me, I already sent that to Aretha, and she said she's going to do it, she said no I understand, I'll take I learned from the best, and if you can just produce "I Was Made To Love Him", by Stevie Wonder for me I'm cool, and she did both songs, people thought that her and Wyclef did them together, but they weren't even speaking to each other at that point, like a left came up with "My Love Is Your Love" , and he was the last one on the boat, and that end up being the title track, meaning that he was the last track submitted to her on the album, and that's because he hit up Clive Davis, and was like, yo I got to be involved with this, Whitney wanted to work with him, but he just almost missed the deadline, she had Lauryn Hill, Missy Elliott, and darkchild Rodney Jerkins, so she was pretty much al ready set, but because he was so he was, Clive Davis told him if he could get a track within 4 days, then they would do it, and he did.
I LOVED Lauryn’s LOCS!!!! They STILL bae!!! 😭😭😭😭 I hope mine fall like that, but I will leave our Creator to style them just like He did hers, and love the ones He gives me just as much. ❤❤❤❤
Lauryn Hill SNAPPED on that opening freestyle I wish she kept it in the original song.
Imagine Lauryn being your guest rapper, background singer, and hype man all in one performance?
And Co - Writer as well. What a dream!!
@@Maviomessiahshe didn’t co-write. She wrote the whole song by herself.
WE HAD THAT REAL LOVE BACK IN THE DAY!!!!🎤🎤🎤🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯
Yesss this was and is so dope true gifts✨🫡
Magical❤
Lauren wrote and produced this song. Wish these two did more music together. I love them!
ChArLz In ChArGe Yo son I can tell Ms Hill wrote this
They also did a remix of _Be With You_ from Mary's very rare _My Life Remix EP_ that came out as Mary was transitioning from that album to the _Share My World_ album.
David Richardson and they did I use to love him on Lauryn hill first album
Yess
@@DavidRichardson95 yes
The vibe of the audience just took the performance to a higher state of perfection, you never see that anymore. I wish folks these days knew how to just vibe with the artists visibly, like in this video.
EuGenoMusic that crowd was amazing!!
Because audience like to record on they phones now and take pictures
Little to no originality nowadays
Amen 2 years late but amen
Yes lawd
Mary is singing those low notes so beautifully and it is LIVE! ...
Yes. Lauryn wrote this Song. Took Mary to other Levels. Mary Voice can do Wat Ever it Wants
Yess
With so much ease and that raspy voice is pure nostalgic
You made me come back a 5th time just to watch @waynemorris3940
That wasn’t just a performance but a special moment in time. All the love coming from the voices of black women (not just Mary J & Lauryn but everyone in the room) is something to behold
❤❤❤
The faces of the background singers ....they was even enjoying it .....Wow three Black women enjoying each other ....Damnnn can we get that again?????
Right exactly
As Don Cornelius would say, "Love, peace and soul!".
A lot of ppl don’t understand that a natural voice is the greatest voice and Lauryn knew of Mary’s powerful vocals and knows that the music industry has a lane for everyone. Mary was in a box and still is but she has utilized that box and has shown what she is capable of. Lauryn may have sung the song better but what the song needed Lauryn couldn’t give.

@@waynemorris3940p
I agree
Indeed..
The Queen Latifah show was the best talk show. Way before her time. And Mary J Blige with Lauryn Hill’s performance was epic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The real queens of r&b soul
yes create Music classic culture black r&b alive soul music
This just made me smile HEAVY from ear to ear
That Energy
Yeah
me tooooo
Took it right out of my heart. That Energy!!!!! Beautiful moment
Yes, for me in 2024❤❤😊😊😊😊
Lauryn Hill composed and produced this song for Mary J Blige in 1999 at age 24
These two are the optime of Hip Hop R&B
Mary was in that special place and even another LEGEND like Lauryn had to just sit back and let Mary do what Mary does
mary has a very distinct voice and it continues to progress as she gets older
It’s anointed!
When Lauren Hill hit that run at "I Love You!!!" 🔥🔥🔥🔥
3:18 she gave them a lil sample!!!
that growling is giving me LIFEEEEEE
Lazza Ooo Mary had an ole nasty growl back then!!! Sang woman!
This was the best performance, hands down on the Queen Latifah Show, no doubt ! The energy was so high in there, no blunt was needed, and if you had a blunt you would've lost your buzz, because the performance was off the chain !!!!!!
They killed it...the audience is rocking.....the queen of hip hop soul....speechless
two of the finest---Laurin Hill hasn't got the credit she deserves yet,she 's great!!!!!!
Y'all heard that Biggie reference she hit with the 'Ready to die' 😂 she too dope
Damm L looks soo happy god I wish she really knew her full potential and the true fan base she had and has behind her love her and of course Queen MJB!!!
Lauren knew her worth, she always did, shes just not a sell out... And didnt want the industry using her image for false messages
For all that don't know, Lauryn Hill wrote this classic jam!!!
Wow I didn't know she wrote it
@@sarahsimpkins1311 sure did and produced it and sang background on it 👑
We all know...n rose is still rose
Imagine if Lauren had a verse on the original my God 🤤
mary and ms hill.. omg... this is such a special moment in time. i love love love them.
Sad feeling comes over when I see the media Lauryn of the past. She truly entertained & inspired with her style, grace, class & integrity to the craft. & I know they're are some who dismiss her.

Lauryn so incredibly talented for sure, she shines here!
No word of a lie , this brought a tear to my eye, two beautiful black queens showing a genuine love for each other on stage. What a powerful force Mary J and Lauryn are. ABSOLUTE LEGENDS!!!
This is how we change the world.
There black queen queen latifa in the crowd hyping them up and showing love this is it !!!

Still can't find it

+hotrodindalou not pitchy at all Mary had that raspy voice that the world loves
She was not pitchy dumb ass, that is how the sung is suppose to be sung dummy.
You said something here!
Background vocals were pitchy at times but Mary wasn't.
@@muybueno8453 Dunno bout that if the background vocals were pitchy Lauryn would be looking at them like she would on her background singers.
This song sends me into a whimsical mood and on cloud 9
Saaaame. 😍😍😍
❤❤❤❤
I think I would have passed out and missed the performance. Thankfully we have this! 🙌🏽
Never knew they performed this!! GOODNESS!! In love
Real Black Girl Magic, Soul Sisters & Queens. I love them!
I watch this every year! This was so legendary 🙌🏾
Yeah, this is the joint that Lauryn wrote. Good tune.
Mary j. looks like my mama.. She used to move around like Mary too b4 that ole knee went to worrying her.
I love when she sings in her lower tone.
I thought i was the only one......
Mary's having fun, she's singing that song with such grit and great energy. You can feel love, respect, she and Lauren have for each other. This is Truly Awesome. Great Performance. 😊
The audience is defeated and these queens did their thing! I don’t remember this performance! ❤️💕
Listen to Mary just lay them runs soooo smooth 🔥🔥at the intro for Lauren ✊🏿✊🏿
I'm old, and always complainin' there's no one like Sarah and Nancy - and there isn't - but then, there's no one like Mary J. and Lauryn, neither. These women satisfy everything I need from music in a couple of minutes.
Oh Mary was singing this day. This performance is a rare diamond

I love the 90s
bahenadodgers Absolutely
When talk shows were actually good
3:18 😫😫😫❤️❤️❤️ Lauryn!!!
iconic
Mary’s range is phenomenal! The vibe of these two ‘GREATS!’❤
I love how Lauryn was here. Just for Mary. Amd that’s It. She challenged Mary vocally. And it Was Perfection.

I just love how proud, happy, and carefree Lauyrn looks here! ♥️♥️
I love it when people refer to her as Mary Blige, and drop the J like Lauryn did here.
even as this only has 50k views and they shut down both of queen la's talk show it is still on fire till this day
The energy 💎.
All that I can say,sweeter than cinnamon...gentlemen,first mary j song I really loved..but forgot lauryn hill wrote this,pow!
I love how Lauryn is string enough to let mary be center and just throw in a few doo doo doos in support. This is beautiful sisterhood
We don't get performances like this no more
Why do I play this performance everyday like they just did this yesterday? It is giving me life
on so many levels❤
Although I enjoy some of the current new R&B artists, I wished _this_ R&B would make a comeback. A classic moment and time.
She the reason i love slow music today!
Hall of fame 2024!
Omg this is perfect ! These two make amazing music together, “I Used to Love Him” is music gold too..
The bridge is like prayer. I love this song. Wish I was in that room.
She wanted Whitney Houston to do this on "My Love Is Your Love" , when Whitney reached out to her for any new material, that she might have, and Lauren sends her best track, and I Learn From The Best, and Whitney decided to do "I Learned From The Best", which was also done by Lauryn Hill, I think when you really wanted to do "A Rose Is Still A Rose", but Lauren was like, oh Whitney you going to be so mad at me, I already sent that to Aretha, and she said she's going to do it, she said no I understand, I'll take I learned from the best, and if you can just produce "I Was Made To Love Him", by Stevie Wonder for me I'm cool, and she did both songs, people thought that her and Wyclef did them together, but they weren't even speaking to each other at that point, like a left came up with "My Love Is Your Love" , and he was the last one on the boat, and that end up being the title track, meaning that he was the last track submitted to her on the album, and that's because he hit up Clive Davis, and was like, yo I got to be involved with this, Whitney wanted to work with him, but he just almost missed the deadline, she had Lauryn Hill, Missy Elliott, and darkchild Rodney Jerkins, so she was pretty much al ready set, but because he was so he was, Clive Davis told him if he could get a track within 4 days, then they would do it, and he did.
Mary's flavor resonates so well with the feel good aspect of life.... ❤
