    Mary does this differently every time - beautifully. If you listen to this and your hair doesn't stand on end, maybe you've got something missing and you just don't understand the reason for singing a song is to express its meaning, which she does perfectly. This performance showed me Mary J Blige is one of the few very best soul singers. If you don't like her maybe you need a bit more life experience before you're allowed the privilege of listening to her again.

    @TauKotoni Mary J is one of the realest and most respected soul singers of our generation. There's no "ghetto hip hop shit" about it, kiddo. These "legend" songs have their strongest roots in the soul genre, that's what gives them the power to grab at our heartstrings and manipulate them like no other music can. You FEEL it when this woman sings, and that's what music is supposed to do. To each their own, but please don't disrespect an amazing musician or music genre with your ignorance. Kthxbi.

  • @TheBuf1975
    @TheBuf1975 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    Well Elton John is not only one of her closest friends but has said he liked her version among all the ones that have been done because she changed the musical production and made the vocals her own, as we all can hear the pain in her voice. I do believe that he also chose her to honor him with this song when he was honored in Britain a few years back. The best thing about artist covering classic songs is that we get to love and appreciate the original all over again. Fantasia's version failed!

    @dskii99 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    Fantasia did a great job, but she will never be MARY!!! Mary is the QUEEN of this generation and its obvious from her longevity, album sales and cross over appeal that the masses agree. She brings an emotion to her music that NO OTHER artist can. I admit Fantasia can sing her ass off, but she may need to live a lil longer and go through a lil more to match Mary's conviction. Bad notes and all, Mary makes you get chills and brings you to tears in songs such as this. SHE IS SIMPLY AMAZING!!!!

  • @itskylestyle
    @itskylestyle 15 ปีที่แล้ว

    You continue to re-iterate the same figure so I'm going to assume that's your only piece of evidence to support this claim. Worldwide, she has sold 6.5 million albums, this is from 2 albums the 2nd has only had a small percentage of it's overall promotion.
    How do you know nobody cried during her performance? It was broadcast to 12 million viewers, prove none of them cried. When you can feel free to reply. Leona will be here in 20 years. Until then I suggest you grow up and watch your language.

  • @itskylestyle
    @itskylestyle 15 ปีที่แล้ว

    What are you talking about?
    Firstly: Her name is Leona, if you want to have a serious discussion spell her name correctly.
    Secondly: How is she an illegal Immigrant? She was born in the UK and has a working US visa. That's legal. If you're going to make claims make sure they're not founded or else it will discredit your argument.
    Thirdly: I see no evidence of Leona flopping, please provide some with your reply.

  • @itskylestyle
    @itskylestyle 15 ปีที่แล้ว

    Do you mean Leona? If so it really isn't going to flop. There's far too much promotion behind her and the album for it to flop. In the US it sold 67k and in the UK it sold 161 K in the first week. That's very strong sales figures, especially in a recession (though aren't the US out of recession now?)
    Either way, Leona's doing very well for herself. As to whether or not she'll be around in 20 years well we'll have to wait and see. As for this video I prefer Mary's version of this song to Leona's

  • @swimbum1
    @swimbum1 15 ปีที่แล้ว

    Not to throw more fuel on the fire. Mary J Blige is an amazing singer and I wouldn't compare her singing to American idol contestants or anyone else for that matter. I would only say that no one will sing this song with as much feeling as soul as Elton John did back in his 70's heyday. Its not a gender, race or anything like that. I'm the first to admit that some remakes are better than the original but not the case with artists who have done this song.

    Leona is good, but needs to control her voice better, her vibrato is no where it needs to be, Mary's a soul singer, a passionate singer, not a pop cookie cutter singer like leona is being groomed to be. Two different levels stop bothering to even compare, leona's got sum catchin up, still a good singer though...
