Mary J. Blige: "Family Affair" | Live at the 2022 TIME100 Gala

Mary J. Blige knows how to get a party started, and how to end one with a bang. The singer, songwriter, and actor-and 2022 TIME100 honoree-closed out the TIME100 Gala on Wednesday night in New York City by bringing her fellow honorees and gala guests to their feet with an energetic performance of her classic hits over the ages.
For Blige, a Grammy-winning, Oscar-nominated, multi-talented icon who has been a fixture of show business since her start in New York hip-hop in the 1990s, being on the TIME100 list-as a cover star-was no small honor. “I never dreamed in a million years I’d be on the cover of TIME Magazine,” she told TIME. Blige had a breakout moment at February’s Super Bowl LVI, where she joined fellow hip-hop icons Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, Dr. Dre, and 50 Cent for their throwback performance, but her musical hits span decades, and her acting has earned accolades.

[@christophercurtis2893]

Why doesn't she preform for her fans

[@ah7910]

I assume she does perform for her fans. In fact, I’d assume she performs more at concerts geared towards her fans than at events like this. This event looks like a corporate event, and I imagine they pay really well for a relatively short set. Artists should be allowed to do what they want, without fans getting sassy.

[@archieailar5307]

One Hit Wonder!!!

[@jasonbull3987]

Yeah, I think she had 2 hits. But I'm wondering how.

[@luukienquoc1251]

She has 6 of them over 50 mil views

[@kristawelch3821]

Tina Turner walked so Mary J could run. Fact.

[@marciomuzzi]

Diva. It's unfortunate that the band's drummer crossed the rhythm of the song at 1:10

I’m sorry but she’s lost her voice I saw her live in the early 2000s up she’s a bit rude and she’s a bible basher light didn’t have to Humiliate him
