Keyshia Cole wasn’t the only R&B beaut to grace the 2012 Essence Music Fest this year.

Yes, in what certifies the event as one of the hottest of the year, last night saw Mary J. Blige took to the stage to perform a set of her more well loved material.

A cut above the bulk of her other performances, her delivery at the show was ‘fierce’ to say the least.

Watch her perform ‘Ain’t Nobody‘ below…

What do you make of her performance?
