emotional intensity! MARY J BLIGE - BE WITHOUT YOU (first reaction)

[@sec008987]

That’s what I call a “song cry” at the end

[@MauriceHumphrey-zu5mv]

Mary J. FOR LIFE, GOD DAMN IT!!!!

[@noelleparris9451]

You playing that end over and over.... fabulous!!!

[@DoItWrightRo]

Watch her sing it live….. It’s her real voice ❤

[@regdexter4014]

You can’t go wrong with Mary

[@TaylorMadeCori]

Mary J Blige does that, I'm telling you... You will be listening....and then..something about how she sings....will resonate so deeply within that you get overwhelmed. It has happened to me more than once...

[@louiswilson3653]

Easily one of Mary J Blige's best songs!!! I definitely agree that she keeps it real and it comes across in her music. I AM is another good song.👍

[@theinsightfulvisionary0197]

It sure is!!! She sang her ass off!!!

[@AUTHORASEERAREVIEWS]

Love you having to run it back as we all have done. Cheerio❤

[@geraldogallagher]

Love Mary!! ❤ My fav song of hers is "Not Gonn Cry" 💯

[@AyesheIsAlwaysLovely]

Mary J was deep in love when she wrote this song. It’s about her ex husband. She hasn’t sang this since she left him about 4-5 years ago. She’s an emotional writer-singer. Most of her songs are autobiographical.

[@regdexter4014]

The way you really listened to the end made me a fan and respect your opinion

[@bridgethegapreactions]

Thank you, much appreciated and thanks for checking out the Brandy vids too! Any good rnb recommendations, let me know thanks

[@popland1977]

This song made me an MJB fan when I was in my teens

[@bridgethegapreactions]

If made me a fan in my 40s!

[@brianhopkins6643]

OK..Real talk. The most honest, compelling, emotional performance I've ever seen is mary singing I can see in colour at some radio station, I'm sure you'll find it if you look. You can see people walking past stopping to watch, she has to come to afterward like james brown cos she's emotionally spent, but not like james brown, that's his shtick kinda way, like she's really fkin done. It's incredible. And the first time I realised that ok, she's a real singer ❤

[@lynnlucas4779]

👑 Queen MJB❤❤❤❤

[@sunnyjozani8421]

This is my favorite song of hers. Could you do No More Drama by Mary J Blige next please?

[@bridgethegapreactions]

I know and love that one already!

[@TheRealKymiPoo]

🔥 U gotta love Mary! Tfs!

[@noelleparris9451]

One of my favorites. So glad you did this one ❤

[@missbigkim]

Anything from her debut album “what’s the 411?” Or the follow up “My life” all stunning!

[@kendonovin]

Lol, loved your reaction. And you're spot on, the way she literally threw herself into that note at the end, you can't help but feel the emotion coming from it. I'm definitely a lifelong fan. Excellent reaction. If you ever get the chance, American Idol, Fantasia, " I believe". Trust me, she's on a whole new level. You won't be disappointed.

[@luisc.1809]

Great reaction. I agree, the last note is the best part of the song. You should try Mary J. Blige and Whitney Houston live together.

[@bridgethegapreactions]

I don't know if my heart could take it!

[@slave4supernewty]

The full title is Be Without You (Kendu Mix) and it is about her husband Kendu who was also her manager. They divorced a few years ago and she hasn’t sang it live since and it is one of her top 3 biggest hits. Check out her Grammy performance of the song where she mixes it with Janis Joplin kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWrcdqdro72eZ8k

[@bridgethegapreactions]

Thanks for the info, thats interesting to know. I'll check out that performance, thanks!

[@DoItWrightRo]

I forgot about that performance!! Brilliant and breathtaking!

[@bananaboydc5431]

You should definitely check out "I'm Going Down" by MJB.

[@edwardcarter5724]

Mary J Blige remake. You gotta give Rose Royce they're credit for that song. They came out with it first sir

[@maryjesusbligestan1164]

Do a reastion to Andrea Bocelli and Mary J. Blige singing "What child is this" on Oprah. Incredible performance.

[@Pivit3119]

GOOD MORNING ❤ BTG, we call Mjb the queen of Hip-hop soul, the lyrics hit home for those who emotionally connect ❤ Please react to MJB "you ain't the only one"🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 we needed this one ❤ enjoy

[@RahLeone]

Mary J Blige ft U2 "One". A remake of KZbin's classic 90s hit. You should definitely check out that song it is Mary's best vocals. It's also on the Same album as be without you

[@richolive22]

"Share my world" is a song you should consider.....shoo any of her songs are meaningful & classics. 💯

[@kris_971]

I knew you would love that song. This song was about her husband so she won’t sing that song anymore as they are now divorced. Love your reaction, I did the same as you and replayed that song many times. I recommend Take Me As I am; Everything; Share My World; I Found My Everything; Love No Limit; Good Morning Gorgeous; Love Without The Heartbreak

[@ini-obongudoh9382]

I know!!! That part!🤣👌🏾

[@Hugo-fs9sf]

Get your groove on Johnny. Fun fact: the actor (from Empire) also appears in Madonnas video for Power of Goodbye. This and Janet's No Sleeeeeep are some good chicken soup songs. They make you feel good :)

[@breal9028]

“Your child” by Mary J Blige

[@kernaishaxoxo]

Loved the reaction! Will you please react to “So Gone” by Monica?!

[@bridgethegapreactions]

I definitely will!

[@kernaishaxoxo]

Thank you!

[@etg2231]

🔥🔥

[@purpledragonfly313]

If you want to see a great live duet, she sang Doubt with Taylor Swift and it was truly beautiful ❤

[@marcellogallus5367]

Definitely one of her best. But I have to say I absolutely LOVE one of her latest songs that didn't get the recognition it dserves IMO: Hourglass!!!

[@marcuslavalais4765]

Always been my favorite. You should check out, Love No Limit, I Don't Want to Do Anything, Everything, No More Drama, Deep Inside and a couple of lesser known great songs are I Found My Everything and Missing You, are hidden gems, and just for something very different, F for You which she did with Disclosure

[@bridgethegapreactions]

Awesome, thanks for the recommendations

[@californiaredd8646]

Check out BE HAPPY

[@Traveljetsetter954]
