Mary J. Blige & K-Ci - "I Don't Want To Do Anything" - Live (1992)

PREACH!!!!!!

[@aniqshardin]

the live is better than the record.listen to jodeci performing forever my lady at dj khaled's mom birthday.kci one of those singers that sounds better live

[@brucecarter5889]

Bobby Womack jr Bobby is more raspier but you have ear him in kci If you didn’t know them kci sound good in studio, live,church, drunk, tweakin 😂😂😂😂 brotha just can flat out sing

[@cassandramonique]

DeVante once said, "I write about Love. My writing shows I'm a lonely person. I don't know why. Stuff comes to me quickly. Like with K-Ci and Mary's duet, 'I don't wanna do anything else'. Mary walked into the studio, asked, 'Where's the words to the track?' and I said, Give me a minute. I wrote her and K-Ci's verses in like five minutes. I guess feelings are inside of me and they just come out. I sit and zone. Not about a real relationship - just zoning..." listening to his body of work I believed him.

The song was written by Darryl Pearson who wrote for Mya and Jodeci and Justin Timberlake

As I said once their body language and facial expression to each other is evidence that this song was personal toward each other! My opinion!

Nobody dose that anymore

[@DavidRichardson95]

The _Dear Mama_ special brought me back here. When K-Ci walked down the stage, looked and pointed at Mary with her mom standing next to her I was dead. LMAO. '90s R&B has that essence and flavor even to this day!!

[@ghenyajordan5205]

I saw that to..he did it at the right time..he was on point..i think her mother had allot of love for him as well..

[@ifricanqueenifricanqueen5495]

[@stepgirl305]

I was looking for this comment

[@lovlieme2]

Drugged or not high or not fighting or not ....the performance was good and talent is u deniable... And this is called REAL SOULFUL R&B music....I'm pretty sure there were many issues just like we all do but no one is perfect

[@nettabell2269]

yesss these females singer's of today need to bow down to the queen of r&b mary j blige

[@Rebeleflor]

K-Ci SANGS!!!!!

[@Karl671]

Yup

[@angelrogers3880]

Mary's face from 2:27 to 2:35 while K Ci is singing to her. You can tell Mary was really in love with him.

[@davinachase5210]

She loved him so much at this point, I felt sorry for her. Things were different for him. This makes me miss my very first boyfriend, I think we played this a million times.

[@janellefeggins2400]

Despite what they were going through at the time (drugs), the talent they possess was undeniable!! Just like Bobby & Whitney , I loved them together! I remember when this performance came out how much everybody backlashed them. I was young then but I just thought they were talented. It wasn't until a few years later I learned about their trouble with substance and physical abuse. I was like damn! But I love me some them! But I know that sometimes just cause it looks good, it isn't always that way.

[@evelyngarrett7792]

I feel almost how you feel I liked seeing them sing together they did great peformances together and I sure miss seeing K-CI D and JOJO on television I use to sit there in front of my flat screen televsion and watch them they take me back to the good old days maybe one day I will meet them or get an autograph

[@nellyluscious]

Evelyn Garrett Yes I agree!! Music was at its best in the 90s, R&B for that matter! This was the golden years. I loved that both Mary & K-Ci were 2 talented individuals doing their thang! Way before all the so called couples now, despite their struggles, possessed ''Talent''! Sometimes the goody goods bore the hell out of me! I hope to someday meet them both too.

[@penie98]

Lord my heart! Still listening in 2023!

[@larhondaburchett3271]

Who could remake it though?? 🤔

[@may5588]

he loved him some Mary! see that smile at the end oh my goodness

[@stevieplez2]

I love Mary for hanging in there wit KC She was like Teena Marie battling back with Rick James But KC's powerful voice doe

[@davidadaway6836]

She has a very strong voice too, plus they both have an incredible amount of conviction and character in their voices. Both had unbelievable swagger as well.

[@OhanaLulu]

Wow, that smile when she kissed him was so pure and genuine.

[@stacyw40]

I'm looking at a totally different woman that she is today.

[@Komediennekymd2009]

I Luv her growth

[@fvnaticbychoice]

i mean she was 20/21 yrs old here. most 50 yr olds are different ppl than their younger selves.

[@melvinprince93]

She still the queen Mary

[@nedb2594]

She sold her soul

[@alisalittle817]

That’s a big Fact! Know her from in the 90’s

[@travissoulsinger]

I looooove these two together vocally! Despite their relationship behind closed doors, it is their passionately connected performances that gets me the most! Straight up classic!!

[@harlemhoney3170]

Mary was gorgeous. The makeup, hair, outfit...perfection. Ghetto Fab. I won't even discuss the voice and performance.

[@Pankrah1985]

Crazy chemistry.... Love this song! ❤️

[@Karl671]

Agreed

[@chur617]

Mary does her best music when she is hurting i think she was in pain here... Love this !!!

[@DelonStubbs]

When you are in a Relationship like this one, This was definitely a Love Lesson

[@CousinPeaches]

Good lawd, I can see why Mary was going down when he ain’t around and her whole life was upside down. you can’t tell me i wouldn’t have been outside looking for K-Ci in the daylight with a flashlight 😍😍🤤🤤 He had the sexiest voice and energy ever

[@helmut4lyfe]

God damn kci was smooth

[@bernardjr8610]

It's amazing how they both can sing. I can feel the pain on her side and his side. It blows me away when they sing together! Gifted talent 💝

[@user-rj1vj5wk9f]

Beautiful. The loving embrace at the end was heart melting. I wanted these two to be married with kids. If only.

[@MakebyJen]

Mary fly as hell, but you can tell she was very sad here

[@ciarrajohnson3849]

_reina_ Consider what happened to her. Plenty of people are victimized in childhood and that can sabotage adulthood (that's the reason many people are Fd up, whether they admit it or not). Had it not been for music, who knows if Mary would've even lived❓🎁🎁🎁

[@MakebyJen]

Yea good point, Mary said the same thing even with her current situation with her divorce I hope she finds peace

[@hilariocardenas1]

When she was happy she sang with more passion, she didn't even try too much here. She didn't even try, just went through the motions for showbiz...

[@qhaweqhawe8300]

_reina_ Yes

[@yourstrength1314]

She was raped and her dad left her at a young age

[@richardalexander1838]

I saw the other live version and KC killed that one but in this one, Mary's voice gives me goosebumps. Man o man

Dang...you can just feel all of the love...tension...sadness between them in this video.

[@jrsmith1998]

Victor Jordan probably the greatest musical decade ever.

[@jrsmith1998]

Victor Jordan only the 70’s is a close second. We will be entering the 3rd decade since the 90’s. And it appears that we will never see anything like the 70’s and the 90’s.

I watched this when it came on Arsenio Hall Show. These two were so passionate that night. One of my favorite performances.

[@PurelyLyrical1]

Such an excellent collaboration between two profound musical artists. Both of them sing with such passion and meaningful intent, which only helps to make this song such a beautiful selection.

Great song

[@Chris79379]

I thought she was pregnant too, because I remember watching this performance, but she has no children of her own, so... I used to love me some Arsenio Hall show in the 90's...H.S days...Whoot!..Whoot!...But, I was in mad love with me some K-Ci, he oozes with talent. & Mary will Always be my girl!

[@ELETHA71]

From what I heard, she terminated the pregnancy.

[@Chris79379]

SIENNA71 These celebrities do all kinds of stuff. Sad for a woman to have to terminate any pregnancy because a man isn't acting right.

[@ELETHA71]

I agree. You could see the love she had for him in that performance as well as many others. I think they were both caught up in the fame and they both were involved in drug usage at the time which contributed to the turmoil. Also, he supposedly proposed to her but then try to squash it and dissed her in an interview saying it wasn't true. She said she felt hurt and betrayed. But I noticed that big fluctuation in her weight during that time and remember those pregnancy rumors as well.

[@sonyawilkerson2930]

I love her glasses

[@Toomuch4u57]

Yeah i can agree with that,but they are doing good these days so i'm happy for both of them they inspired me to sing especially Kchailey.
