Mary J Blige "No More Drama" live @ the 2002 Grammy Awards (February 27, 2002)

[@staylor6467]

To this day [02.06.2024], this video still makes me cry. Incredible!

[@Robert-yc2tl]

It's my anthem for many years

[@Phashi]

Me too, for me it's this one and the live performance on Oprah in 2007 where she performed her song (Take me as I am) . So powerful.

[@thomasmayo2429]

That wasn’t performing, that was healing. She left her soul on that stage.

[@akhong1969]

truly

[@brianbrizzo]

That was the night she exorcized her demons. That was a Deliverance Service. One of the best Grammy Performances of All-Time.

[@SeanWarren]

She got down!!!! She did that!!!!

[@CRFCreativelyYouGiftBask-bj9wt]

Amen!

[@bigd7386]

Watching this back and was thinking the EXACT same thing. That was DELVERANCE!

[@vocalbooth8585]

I honestly come back to watch this performance every few years when someone tries to tell me Mary can’t sing. This performance is transcendent

[@BramptonAnglican]

Mary took us to church with this performance

[@chriskent1424]

When they say she can’t sing, this is what I come with. I’ve been watching her since 1997 in concert live my girl can sing down.

[@MsNetouu]

One of the best performances I've ever seen in my life. Gave me chills from beginning to end.

[@MsDance-wi5ss]

One of the best for sure!

[@nittabell5453]

This Performance will.

[@akhong1969]

for me it's up there with Prince - Purple Rain during American Music Awards 1985

[@vocalbooth8585]

Agreed. I come back to watch it every few years. Still moves me every time

[@Just-Princess]

Facts, facts and more more facts! I watched this when it aired at 9 years old (I'm a golden girl now 😂). Left the most amazing impression on me. This was around the time of 9/11 (maybe a few months after?). I remember even as a little girl the temperature in the country. We were over it. This performance embodied how we felt.. so powerful. As an adult now with some real life experiences the song and this performance is that much more meaningful. I remember my mom (r.i.p 🤍) loved seeing mary perform this song in particular

[@RoughRider757]

This was the human experience being communicated by a brilliant artist.

[@swisschoklate736]

Celine was like oui oui sister!!!! You did that fille!!!!😂

[@ritarichardson6222]

You can jus feel her pain😔Love you Mary 😘🙏🏾💋

[@SuesWorld2.0]

I cried literal tears watching this. You could literally feel the outpouring of emotions as she sang that night. This is what music's about. Letting your audience feel what you're going through. Taking them on a journew whoo

[@SeanWarren]

AMEN!!!!

[@danderson1116]

Perfection. 50 years from now, this song will still be relevant.

[@nittabell5453]

It's been over a DECADE since I've seen this video. I even remember this Grammy night. I get butterflies and chill bumps, still.

[@Riva2025]

The audience was in a state of shock and disbelief!!!! Amazing! Not even one of my favorite MJB songs, but that performance gave me chills!!! And I've never seen anyone look so beautiful while having a straight up fit of anger running all over the stage. She must have double lung capacity than the average person and those vocal cords are made of gold!!!

[@kevenwoods3207]

No performance will ever touch this, Everytime it's the still the same thrill

[@lamesiascreen4952]

I've been coming back to watch this performance for years.. I watched it live when she first performed it and she'd tears. More than a a decade letter, still shed tears. This is one of the most ELECTRIFYING performances I have EVER seen in my life!

[@elisehickey3354]

One of the best Grammy performances, ever!!

[@SmilingAzaleaFlower-uh9wi]

The spirit of god was in her. Best live performance at any award show ever.

[@blossomjones3193]

Idk how many times I've watched this performance over the years. Never a dull watch . I believe one of the best performances of her career .

[@SeanWarren]

She is phenomenal in this performance.

[@iyajeanette2283]

i agree and is my favorite

[@st.dominic4169]

After this performance MJB went on to win more Grammys pretty consistently. She became one of the finest vocalists in R&B world and was sought after collaborator.

[@jivonleejackson1673]

Awesome performance. As I recall , this was after the loss of an award. It was 22 years ago, but I will never forget the power she displayed. “Take that”!

[@emmabanks442]

An AB-SO-LUTE frickin legend in her own lifetime !!!’

[@allisonmorrissey2078]

Mary took us to church that day! ❤

[@anthonysmith2050]

She got it all out her system that night. Ppl in the audience was like Damn!!!❤❤❤

[@mikeyoung4130]

The best concert I’ve ever seen in my life was Mary J. Blige for her My Life 25th Anniversary at The Roots Picnic

[@virginiareed5756]

When I was coming out of the hells of addiction and abuse.. this song saved me. I played it on repeat for so long and it still gives me chills ❤

[@SeanWarren]

Music is a healer!!!

[@virginiareed5756]

[@SeanWarren]

@@virginiareed5756 Good to hear you made it through!!!

I don't know you, but I want to say I'm so proud of you!

[@abidingonthestraightandnar5330]

She did an amazing job 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽delivering this song this was minstry, not a performance she broke every chain of bondage! When we declare things over our lives to set us free the devil has got to ,goo! the drummer at 2:07 right after Mary J said "she chose to win!! was filled, and set it off, and Mary J took it on home! Amen!!

[@damongipson-dg8pc]

What a performance ! Miss this time ❤

[@justdc3517]

This is that soul & gospel!!!!!

[@traceebaby345]

Ppl try to sing this but they can’t do it justice I felt 10 kg’s lighter after watching this stress who needs it ❤❤❤❤❤

[@elliott801]

I felt that live when I watched back in 2002 and even now today 20 years later

[@brownbeauty39]

This was her testimony and releasing her pain & hurt 😢 💔

[@georgeallen4412]

Fun fact: MJB felt slighted she didn’t have a Grammy at all in her career so last part wasn’t even in the song. Years prior she lost to Alicia Keys who was a rookie. With NMD she didn’t win anything for that or Family Affair. She felt misunderstood and unappreciated with her music. This was her diss to The Grammys and her statement that she’s here!

[@georgeallen4412]

Solo Grammy she did win one with Method Man ***

[@brooklynbelton]

That’s talent!

[@jue1984]

I choose to win!!!!

[@WendyCosgriff-l2d]

Never heard song or artist... had to stop working for a few minutes and hear this one out. Put it all down for this one!!! Absolutely the best performance in Grammy history hands down... that's all I can say. Powerhouse performance... excellence in its highest degree....❤❤❤

[@vocalbooth8585]

[@SeanWarren]

He tore it up!!!!

[@chrispleasantable]

How coincidental that this aired on CBS and this song samples the theme song of another show on CBS

[@anthonysmith2050]

Yep. Young and the Restless

[@patriciadavis1393]

One of my favourite songs by her and I was lucky enough to see her with my friend Maureen twice in Toronto❤❤❤

[@uwadude]

Electrifying ❤

[@mzzthang3912]

Thank you for this post i needed a good cry ❤she took them to church 🙌🏾🙌🏾this whole performance and the standing ovation gives me goosebumps

[@chelle315]

Yes lawd!! My girl had some stuff to get off her chest! I think she was finally sick of the industry games & foolishness. When she said "you DEMONS get up out my face"...I knew it right then.

[@diddlingdoom3133]

She just lost to Alicia Keys in every nomination she was in..... Then they're like hey go perform the song we decided was a loser...

[@marleauxjmusic]

Especially when she wuz looking into the audience when she said it, too! You BETTA catch it! ✅✅✅

[@AngelHoll-pr8fz]

​@@diddlingdoom3133your point? India arie lost also

[@jentotheden]

Have y’all seen the backstage footage of Puffy being interviewed and she’s on the monitor behind him and he stops mid-interview and is like “My god Mary…”

Mary just beat up mariah carey cuzz she said that why her husband left her

[@Tron-s5g]

I've seen her since.. the devil has had his way with her since this... I don't care what anyone says, that's the truth. Look at what she's turned into in the last few years. Jesus/god is not involved in what she's become.

The song is a pain,heartache,drama ,disappointment etc etc ,she’s emotionally letting out all her frustration on that stage thru that song . U wouldn’t understand

[@jeanaeparadise3991]

nowhere in this performance did she scream roach. Stop trolling homosexual.

[@jeanaeparadise3991]

Why is a gay man commenting on Mary? She is not for the poor. She don’t sing for your kind.
