Fresh from announcing a new tour, Mary J. Blige gave the Today Show Summer Concert Series a preview of what to expect with two rousing performances.

The R&B royal rocked the full-to-capacity New York crowd with ‘Thick Of It’ from her latest album ‘Strength Of A Woman’ and fan favorite ‘Family Affair.’

Check out both showings…

While enjoyable for the most part, there were corners of her vocal that made for a difficult listen.

Hopefully, she rests up after this full-on press run and re-charges ahead of the tour.

Your thoughts?
