Very Arethaesque 🔥🔥🔥🔥🎙️, Mary comes across the same type of way Aretha did. I think Aretha saw that too, that’s why she requested to work with Mary on multiple occasions. She respected Mary, & Mary adored and loved Aretha.
@LarryDWilmore797 ай бұрын
To bad the hateful demon didn’t feel the same…in fact she was very jealous of Mary to the point that she did not want Mary to play her in the Aretha movie because she felt like Mary would overshadow her and I understood…I mean Ella realized this after Beyoncé made Cadillac Records. The difference is Beyoncé never adored Ella like Mary did Aretha…even publicized how Aretha was one of her inspirations from day one. Knowing that broke my heart and I lost all Respect (see what I did there😂) for Aretha Franklin and gained much more for Mary J Blige ..I could see if ‘retha was still out here active in the game, at that time, but she wasn’t.

I have never seen Mary J. Blige give a performance like this and I’m floored. The slow soulful sweetness in her voice reaches deep into the heart and grabs it like it won’t let go.

I love this from Mary and this is at least 16 years old, seen for the first time today. Personally, I’d like to have seen/heard more of this style of music from Mary, and, I’d advise that this kind of music can accept her natural voice, as in reaching for the high notes is totally unnecessary … Hopefully there’s more to come from Mary like this. Thank you for this content btw 😊
