Mary J. Blige Moves Fans With Acoustic Performance

The Queen of Hip Hop Soul Mary J. Blige showed up and out in royal fashion at Perez Hilton’s ‘One Night In New York City’ bash.  The ‘I’m Going Down’ songstress, who is assuredly readying a string of promo appearances in support of her forthcoming ‘My Life II’ (November 21st), treated fans in attendance to an acoustic number rumored to be on her new album.

While faithful followers anxiously await the visual of ‘Life’s’ lead single ’25/8′, this live visual will certainly suffice as satiation until its arrival.  More Mary after the jump:

Shouts to MJBEveryday:

Solid is an understatement.  While renown for her fiery vocal deliveries, this showing demonstrated a restraint that the songstress may not be well known for but is certainly more than capable of exercising.  And, while I,for one, welcome Blige’s usual ‘Holy Ghost-inspired’ performances, I too welcome these type of performances.  They not only display versatility (which everyone knows she has), but also silence naysayers who argue that her performances are exaggerated shouting bouts.

No official word on if this song is set to be featured on the new album.

    What an evolution of a WOMAN!
    Any young or grown ladies must look to Mary, who went through a very public rough lifestyle and pulled herself through all the years of pain and despair and self harm to blossom into a ROSE who loves herself fully. It resonates through her looks and her sound.

    PROUD of her journey and i hope people who really knows Mary’s story get inspired and believe enough that they deserve better within themselves and uplift to a stronger path.

    She does look tired. Thats a hard working woman..

    AND TO WHOEVER SAID THEY DONT KNOW ABOUT CALLING HER QUEEN..Jump slowly. MJB has been in the game a VERY LONG TIME, and is THE ONLY FEMALE IN R&B to join both swags of that and hiphop. NO ONE else has done that period. Which is why she has that name. And who the hell are you to question that? THE WHOLE WORLD HAS ACCEPTED THAT TITLE right along with ther. AGAIN. Jump slowly!

    Mary needs to be everywhere!

  21. Deveal2014 October 23, 2011
