I used to listen to this song and think about my boyfriend.....we just celebrated our 12th wedding anniversary, on November 1st after 16 years together! GOD is SO Good!!!
Lauryn Hill wrote & produced this... at the end she goes up into the clouds with a brother. Cool vid. Mary deserves to be loved by a real man. She so deserving
@@scootabean I mean it's not one of her songs coming on the radio in this generation. look at the views, way lower than her other more popular songs. This should be one of the songs ppl think of when they talking about MJB
@@bakothegreat6986 It came on which is why I worked my way here to listen to it again. UA-cam views mean nothing, this song won her a whole Grammy.....I'm unsure of why you are comparing UA-cam views for a song over 20 years old to measure it's popularity. I guarantee if any mjb fan made a top ten song list, this would be on it. No need for the discourse over whether or not this is popular lol
MASTERPIECE only Lauryn Hill could have written and MJB delivered!! One of both finest moments. Love the dreamy character and Marvin Gaye references: Nuveau Soul/ Hip Hop at its best.
Put it back on tv than. Ark of the covenant video after lion king visit blk women he left us this. We cant share with our men any more their get taken by mariah, kim kardashiasn, kimmorra and jlo and leave us WELL WITH IDRIS, never mind. All things work together for the good of them who love God and are called according to his purpose. Mary send me three tickets.
She's always been a fine looking woman but has had her confidence doubts in the past - she one of my all time fave singers tho' - nothing of hers I don't like...
I remembered when this song came out in the Summer of 1999. I even bought her new CD that same summer. Mary J Blige still looks amazing now in her 50s now like she was 22 years ago. Damm I miss the 90s.
I remember an ex from way back saying he couldn't express how good he felt around me. He played this song instead. Years later and this still makes me smile.
"Knowing him, loving him Showing him that I'm all him Living and forgiving and I would do it all again Genuine, seraphim Sweeter than cinamon Heaven-sent gentleman Sent him here for loving him" 🖤
Lauryn vocalizing at the bridge is sheer euphoria, probably what heaven sounds like. I always rewind that part a couples times when I listen to this song. I had just entered secondary school when this song debuted and used to hear it a lot while travelling. I even taped it from the radio to play whenever i wanted. I used to daydream about being an adult and in love when I listened to it. Now, I'm married to my best friend and ,though we have our expected trials, "loving [him] is [truly] wonderful..."
There a live performance of this song on the queen Latifah show when lauryn got a rap verse on it. I can’t find the audio so I feel like lauryn feel styled it for the show but she snapped.
Mary's voice was gritty and raspy back then. Her christmas album and The London Sessions, her voice is clean, clear and strong. Can't believe this is 16 years old! I was only 4.
This what people don’t understand about Mary she takes those tough songs and deliver. It’s hard to convey strong emotions in that range. You can know how to sing all day but still don’t know how to do it like that.
I first listened to this playing in a Starbucks, and bought the CD immediately. This is the kind of song that have good memories of wherever you happen to be.
This isn’t Mary’s best song, but it’s one of those songs that bring back the year it came out to me. I immediately get ported to 1999 and memories just start flowing.
Mary J. Blige has been spreading Joy and happiness for generation.... her work is incomparable to any female artist i know... I love her.....All That I Can Say Mary is phenomenal...
I LOVED this song. I especially loved that chord change. Lotta people thought it was off key but to me it was creative the way Mary would (I call it "slant") going into strat and then bringing it back. I sing and got perfect pitch and could see what she was doing. The chord progression was the same but it requires you to fly -- adlib then bring it back down -- in key -- maneuver your way thru. Lauryn Hill wrote this song and gave it to Mary J ( you can hear Lauryn doing BG vocals.) I would love to hear Lauryn's original lead vocals and modulations. This is one of my favorite Mary J songs -- a romantic vocal journey ❤️
I remember being 16/17 years old in 1999. I was so in love with Mary. She was so beautiful in this video and this song is so lovely. When this came on, I would be glued to the tv.
2024 Can't believe it's 25 Years Since this Classic Song, Video, and Album. "All that I can Say" to me is her most Underrated Album 💎💎. Song written by the Legend herself Queen 👑 Lauryn Hill. So Glad I Grew up this Era. Love and Miss the 90's 😢
This was one of my favorite songs to Mary J Blige since I was 8 years old, brings me back memories how I would hear this song on radio in the car. I get so emotional when I hear this, I would play this song on my wedding day. It's 2021, still jamming to all of the best Mary J Blige songs and she is now 50 years old Happy belated birthday.
This era evolved Mary’s talent and essence as an entertainer and cultural legend. Sounds were very earthy, lyrics were real, video concepts were very fashion forward. Very subdued rhythms, but at best, a mature album for her.
stoned in ATL... I remember I lived on the 12th floor behind rise in Atlanta when the song came out and I would get so stoned on weed and listen to this I love it magic
I love how this video is so dream like in the flow . Also I love all the different looks Mary rocks in this video. Black women, black people are masters of manifestation. Just look at us.
When Lauryn Hill puts her touch on a song, it's always unforgettable and untouchable! I love this collaboration with her and Mary. We need today's artists to study and take notes!
I was in NYC when this song first came out, and it was my first time in America. What a time it was, back in 1999. I remember first seeing this video on ⭐️BET and was amazed by all the RnB on that channel back then too.
It’s either This or Everything where I began to fall In love with Mary. I remember this video,sitting on my aunt couch and gazing in her eyes because of of all the beauty and chocolateness
I used to listen to this song and think about my boyfriend.....we just celebrated our 12th wedding anniversary, on November 1st after 16 years together! GOD is SO Good!!!
SI UNA D LAS MUJERES MAS BELLAS DL MUNDO.CON UNA GRAN SENSIVILIDA HUMANA.AL IGUAL QUE PRINCE.M AYUDAN A VIVIR

Wow November 1st is my birthday. Me and my husband anniversary is August 9th and this year will be nine years. God is everything to us. Amen

One Of Mary's most underrated songs I've always loved this one it just vibes different!!
Underrated??? This was a bop when it came out and won her a Grammy 😂

I remember in 99' just being blown away by this song and video!! Mary was just in another level!! Love this album!!
did this song come on radio
***** it's my jam tho I didn't know it came on the radio I wasn't born until 2 years later
+NellyBelle this entire Mary album from 99 was so bomb with Aretha and KiCi on it just a classic
Priority Pros yes!!
+Priority Pros What Month of 1999 Did Mary Came out ?
Words cannot explain how much I love this song. It really takes me back.
I can diiiiiig it!
So I guess you can say that it goes beyond... "all that you can say". ;)
I love it to
YES!!!!!!!
That feeling it gives you....
This puts me in a Zen mood
yeah I really feel you on that one.
It's so relaxing.
This song is mellow and intoxicating

Michael and Stevie in here too, I cant help but say it 😊
Beautiful song. It's me good vibes.
When you play this song first thing in the morning o man it's such a vibe

Man I remember when she perform this song on a episode of Moesha, I was immediately hooked by the 1st verse.
Facts me too
Lauryn Hill showed out when she wrote this one! She and Mary what a collab!
1999 was a damn good year!!!
Lauryn, Mary and Jill colabo would sound so awesome. Like a female LSG
hell yeah

Crazy how time passed now it’s 25 years old. 😫😫
This song just has a certain aura about it that just makes it otherworldly, actually it transcends anything worldly.
for real ..for real
exactly! I love this song so much 💫
That’s exactly what it has !
This is a difficult song to sing. Mary J. nailed it!!
Agreed
especially that first chorus. OMG🤩😭😭😭🌠✨🪐😘🤌🏾👌🏾💘
This what people don’t understand about Mary she takes those tough songs and deliver. It’s hard to convey strong emotions in that range. You can know how to sing all day but still don’t know how to do it like that.
THIS WAS THE SUMMER OF 1999, and it was extremely hot and muggy that summer. Aircondition simply did not work.
Kma Bnya Same here my parents air conditioning went out for a few days that summer.
This song gives me chills! Such a classic! 😍😍😍
She really just woke up like that....😫

she's always been beautiful and still is😌
I swear Mary J has always been beautiful, makeup always flawless
ua-cam.com/video/0yVoUzfu7kY/v-deo.html
with or without makeup at that🔥
Agreed
I LOVE the Stevie-ness of this tune. So beautiful. Love you Mary!
It definitely has similarities to I can’t help it by Michael, written and produced by Stevie
Great description I totally agree :-)
My favorite Mary J Blige poured her soul in this song Lauryn Hill created a masterpiece Mary J killed it!!
The ending tho *sigh* the lyric "Loving you is wonderful"
YESSSSS
blkcoverboy indeed....
Criminally underrated gem from her vast catalogue. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
The album Mary loved the MOST, and put her HEART into, many of her fans didnt like. I LOVED this album, and think this one is the best🥰
Yea the production on that album was fire 🔥
I first listened to this playing in a Starbucks, and bought the CD immediately. This is the kind of song that have good memories of wherever you happen to be.
Her music soothes my soul🔥🌟❣️

Man I miss the 90's it seems like yesterday! Now time is moving fast!
That high note gave me goosebumps... Beautiful voice

'Mary' is a smooth road trip Cd. But I feel 'Share My World' is her Best.
I watched her perform today on television for
the BET awards and she did an amazing performance. She will always be my favorite. Queen Mary!
one of the best songs, beats and musical creations of all time!!!
Please Never Leave ME' i am Nothing without YOU' LORD GOD'

This is my all time favorite Mary song and album!!!!
I heard this song ONCE a long time ago and I was thinking "wow, this is so different from her usual". This song puts you in a surreal frame of mind.
It's the 20th anniversary of this dreamy song!
