Especially Mary she confessed her true love but he just could not understand until now.......but now is too late hate he took her for granted........look at what they COULD HAVE BEEN.......
Watching it you can see she was so more into him. She's singing this song directly to him and he's singing it for the audience. You could literally feel how much she loved him.
john blac. Lies look at how he licked out his tongue at her in the beginning he was singing directly to her and looking straight through her soul and pouring out his feelings for real he said noone can EVER TAKE UR LOVE FROM ME he was just young and whoreish like a lot of men are n miss out on the best GIFT GOD GAVE him and that is and was SHE QUEEN MARY J. BLIGE the one and onlt my girl.
All I can say by watching this video is that........he will never find a women that will loved him the way this women did at this time in their relationship look at him now on his show with his brother all alone like a real-not - playa will and in his case end up all alone thinking n wishing on what could have been it's 2 late K.C. u killed it now bro.
@@AirForce1Collector Not his fault Mary J needed to hear that Kci didn't want to get married and maybe it was a good thing their relationship could have gotten worse with marriage I ❤ them both vocally ALWAYS sometimes irregardless of the connection some things aren't meant to go forward 😢
@@jbritney6610 supposedly he was being to friendly with some of the female fans and Mary was not having it. She look like she was very sad in the beginning of the song
But why he couldn't be the man she needed him to be NOW HE IS ALONE GO SEE HIM AND HIS BROTHER SHOW.......JUST SAD COULD HAVE HAD MARY LOVE U........K.C. I. UR OLD DAYS.
She absolutely poured out her adoration and devotion to him and their love !! Man she loved him hard He never should of let her go ! Man to be loved this hard by someone x
I saw that too! The way he was looking at her while she was singing to him was almost a look of guilt, like he knew she wasn't just singing, but feeling it in her soul
People in the comments don’t know the backstory of this performance. They literally had a fight/argument backstage! Went out on that stage with all kind of emotions!! AND KILLED THE PERFORMANCE!!!
Not only how he looked at her, How he licked his lips at 2:43!!!! It was an unspoken "You gonna get it 😵after the show", I watched this when it first aired, That performance, You knew there definitely were sparks flying. Too bad they didn't keep those sparks going.
This performance will never ever get old. Their love affair played out right on stage. Kci and Mary performed the heck out this song. Still loving it in the last month of 2020.
Ikr when she said “you told me a 1000 times that you would be mine oh mine!” I felt that. Could have been a beautiful powerful couple with a lot of effort and consistent genuine love
She did a interview year's ago and stated that they had just had a bad fight and was high as hell when they came out and performed this song.....I said well dam they showl fooled me cuz they killed it
Whew K-Ci! From 3:12 to 3:27, pure perfection. LOVE when a male singer has a break in their voice like that. Adds to all the vulnerability and emotion they're putting in the song. Yes Lord! Mary was great as always.
Because she is coming from a bitter place. To try to air someone out because your career is no longer SPEAKS VOLUMES ABOUT HER! I love the fact that MJB has not responded because can't get dirty with the trash!! She's on a different level.
I just love the way that our day we used real instruments! The drums, piano, etc was unmatched. Mannnnn I miss those days when singers and were not engineered
This is MTV unplugged. The modern day equivalent is NPR tiny desk concerts. Jodeci didn't have all instruments in regular concerts. They'd have drums and DeVante would bring out his piano for certain songs. They used a DJ for the rest of the songs.
It’s funny u can hear the love nd hurt in both their voices like Mary was reaching for the love from K-CI nd K-CI wanting to jus give her the love but dnt knw how
This is really a beautiful song. The performance is an all time great. K-ci was on top of his game. Listen to the clarity the control and emotion in his voice with little effort. Mary took this to Sunday morning level intensity as well. I could listen to this over and over. Sigh the 90's. We didn't really know what we had. Laady open up your heart and let me in where I belong. Yes!!
Looking at this video you can tell that Mary loved K-Ci more than he did her. Check the body language. She was all touchy feely....He was singing to the crowd mostly...she was singing to HIM!!!! Can't remember though was this at the beginning of their relationship or towards the end...Maybe he didn't want anyone to know they were fooling around. If they continued to make music together... MAN!!!! This Unplugged was the best....They should make a duet album together now.
They were a couple. She was madly in love with him and it showed in this performance and her greatest album, some would say -I would say-My Life, is a product of that relationship.
DO YOU FEEL THAT ENERGY AND THAT CHEMISTRY IT WAS UNDENIABLE RIGHT HERE I JUST LOVE IT AND CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF IT......THIS IS MY JAM IT GIVES ME LIFE ..........REAL TALK.
Still listening to this in January of 2024🔥
Me too in 2024 right here with you the dou was and is that just powerful.
YASSSSSSS!!!!!
@@phelaw53833:26
Imma listen forever 🔥
And forever.. since it came out
If these 2 were to have done a complete album after this song, it would've been amazing!!
$TRAIGHT FACT$$$$$
It would of been historical!!
Him or Dino fr wish we could have had more from kci and Dino
Yes🙌🏽🙌🏽
they would have killed each other but GD that album would have be majestic
you can see the love and the hate between them
Lol
its a thin line...
Joy Spears 🤣🤣🤣🤣 H-Town
Fr!!! 🤣🤣🤣
😂🤣😂🤷🏿♀️🤦🏿♀️
Singer's today don't sing with this kind of passion and emotions any more
That's because their soul ain't black... it's green now (color of MONEY).
It's because singers used to come out of the church and they sang with SOUL.
No they don't.
@@Vernostonus smart analogy
That old chestnut.
They sung the hell out of this!
Especially Mary she confessed her true love but he just could not understand until now.......but now is too late hate he took her for granted........look at what they COULD HAVE BEEN.......
@@musizlovva1570 They were both drama together. It was said she punched him right before this performance.
They were going thru a rough time in their realtionship
Absolutely love K-Ci's vocals on this. The man could definitely blow. You don't see nobody else like him singing these days....
sassyone82 facts!!!
Sisqo was close to him
@@metsfanatic6270 facts and Tyrese if you really listen to em 💯
Sisco and tyrese were close, but it take two talent to get near to his.... he is a Beast, his voice a gift ( underrated...)
@@taytanostris His rewards will come from God Almighty
Watching it you can see she was so more into him. She's singing this song directly to him and he's singing it for the audience. You could literally feel how much she loved him.
Yes I most definitely felt her love for him!!!

This is why the song worked so well, because it wasn't fake. They weren't just singing words somebody wrote for them
They had actually had a big arguement Backstage Prior to this Performance which is why it turned out to be one of the best they ever did
Wonder what that fight was about lolx. Cause that was good.!!!
@@jbritney6610 supposedly he was being to friendly with some of the female fans and Mary was not having it. She look like she was very sad in the beginning of the song
THIS ENTIRE UNPLUGGED NEEDS A DVD RELEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG WHY HASNT IT , it’s not even in here
Nobody did it better than uptown and Andre harrell
The way he looks at her.. powerful.. this takes me back..
So TRUE 💯
💖
But why he couldn't be the man she needed him to be NOW HE IS ALONE GO SEE HIM AND HIS BROTHER SHOW.......JUST SAD COULD HAVE HAD MARY LOVE U........K.C. I. UR OLD DAYS.
Cause he was beating her ass 😂
@@musizlovva1570 Chile Kci is married loud and wrong
Mary was not just performing she was obliging her love for the world to see she loved kci sincerely and she was true to it...I love her for this! !
She absolutely poured out her adoration and devotion to him and their love !! Man she loved him hard
He never should of let her go !
Man to be loved this hard by someone x
I saw that too! The way he was looking at her while she was singing to him was almost a look of guilt, like he knew she wasn't just singing, but feeling it in her soul
@@DannyM.D.N.A exactly
@@albertadean2436 yup
Too bad he didn't appreciate her, I know he's still sick behind it
This really should’ve been released on a greatest RnB duets album. This is one of the greatest RnB duets EVER!
People in the comments don’t know the backstory of this performance. They literally had a fight/argument backstage! Went out on that stage with all kind of emotions!! AND KILLED THE PERFORMANCE!!!
Yep
Tell em
You could see it all on KCi face when she was singing to him. She felt what she was singing and he did too
Kci and his wandering ding ding
That part
I hate that I can’t express myself to men like this. I’m stuck in the 90’s.
Preach ❤ you will find a deep soul who will communicate love to you on a deeper level than any of these lifeless souls. That's 90s love
I’m stuck there too!
You aint only one 😘
Me too here in 2021 smh
They don’t make music like this any more
Who else here in 2020? This song is Eternal 🔥
2021 though! 🔥
Yeah 2021 lol
9/11/2021
Me
2021 👑👑
Damn! This is definitely the best duo I've ever heard. They meant that shit.
Well... one of them did 😔
Rick and Teena
They were living it.
BLACK ANTHEM OF THE 90S
mary meant that.
🎯
@@pandorasbox6607 and nothin less
@@boomsoundfactory At all
How many of you have this on repeat?! Man, this shit still gives me chills. Timeless! Their voices together are a rarity. Nobody can touch it.
Always on repeat
Two powerful forces, sharing their talents. It is uplifting to witness such, their facial expressions speaks volumes.
I've listened to this song LITERALLY 7 times already
Nobody!!
I always have this song on repeat every day!
She is a very special lady, I don' t even think she realizes the soulfulness and quality of her gift. KC is no joke either
She got better he went the wrong direction
indeed she is, i think now she knows 💚
Can never be duplicated! Never, ever, ever!
YES!!!!!
Precisely
K-ci was such a cutie with his short self!🥰 They all were easy on the eyes . The ONLY male group where all of the members were attractive.
He really was cute.
When she said because I LOVE YOU KC😍😍😍😍 and HE said I LOVE TOO
They killed it 👌the way K-Ci was looking at Mary while she was singing he looked like he was so in love with her.😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
He was
He was looking at her like this woman right her really love me
THat fool was HigH and Pissed off.
I know
He was and they were with each other but they were just to YOUNG N FAMOUS 2 APPRECIATE EACH OTHER.
2:44 though. Kci could get it back in the day.
I agree as long as he sang to me
😂😂😂😂😂
He was my biggest crush
What you said...
Def was my crush🙄😩
*K-Ci A VOCAL BEAST.*
the way kci looked a mjb when she was singing😍😍😍😍
like he wanted to make love to her on the stage! lol
ikr exactly what I was bouta say..💜💙
yesss❤❤❤❤❤❤
Not only how he looked at her, How he licked his lips at 2:43!!!! It was an unspoken "You gonna get it 😵after the show", I watched this when it first aired, That performance, You knew there definitely were sparks flying. Too bad they didn't keep those sparks going.
RoyalShadeEverglade ......yes and I would have licked his lips right on stage 2.
This performance will never ever get old. Their love affair played out right on stage. Kci and Mary performed the heck out this song. Still loving it in the last month of 2020.
Ikr when she said “you told me a 1000 times that you would be mine oh mine!” I felt that. Could have been a beautiful powerful couple with a lot of effort and consistent genuine love
Agreed
NEVER EVER get old. True classic ❤
Yes !!!
She did a interview year's ago and stated that they had just had a bad fight and was high as hell when they came out and performed this song.....I said well dam they showl fooled me cuz they killed it
Well this was their make up can you enjoy the passion in the bedroom after this performance
I KNEW IT
She also said when they got back to the dressing room… it got tore up in love making…. OMG…. This is sooo beautiful
It couldn’t have been this performance I thought it was on the arsenio hall show cause their energy on that was completely off
@@TheJalen1222 No it was this 🎶one. You can tell the tension and the passion going back and forth lol👍
They sing the shit out of this song 😍😍😍😍😍😍
Lishin babyyyyy LISHIN!!!!
Lol lishen
King Arsine loll 🙌🏽
😂😂😂😂
I'm HOLLERIN 🤣😭😭😭
King Arsine Fantasia sings the same the blood strong
Now dis was a toxic relationship that made great music
K CI VOICE THO !!!!!!!! OMGGGGG 😭😭😭😭😭😍😍😍😍😍😍
Whew K-Ci! From 3:12 to 3:27, pure perfection. LOVE when a male singer has a break in their voice like that. Adds to all the vulnerability and emotion they're putting in the song. Yes Lord! Mary was great as always.
We are all lucky who were able to grow up & listen to Mary j bilge she didn't sing r&b she sang soul
Indeed 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
mary mary mary mary mary
I loved this ad lib when K-Ci sang it ...
When drugs and pain fuel the best music
I don't understand why Jaguar Wright is claiming Mary J Blige can't sing. This prove something
Because she is coming from a bitter place. To try to air someone out because your career is no longer SPEAKS VOLUMES ABOUT HER! I love the fact that MJB has not responded because can't get dirty with the trash!! She's on a different level.
I just love the way that our day we used real instruments! The drums, piano, etc was unmatched. Mannnnn I miss those days when singers and were not engineered
I agree 💯
This is MTV unplugged. The modern day equivalent is NPR tiny desk concerts. Jodeci didn't have all instruments in regular concerts. They'd have drums and DeVante would bring out his piano for certain songs. They used a DJ for the rest of the songs.
they was a good looking couple. kci was so fine. the way he licked his lips when he was looking at her. mhmmm lawd.
2023 and still loving this.
to think they just had one of the biggest fights before this
what away to say sorry DAMNNNN
i prefer this live version to the album cut
Yes I agree. 👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾
true that
Lmaooo @4:42 K-Ci was the first one to do the stanky leg!
Hells yeah
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lol
Cuz i love you K-Ci and i need youuuu baby.... Mary killed it!!!!
yass lawwdd!
that's my girl
this duet is unreal !!
I love it! That hood love is something else.....
Man it was soo cute how Kci was looking at her while she was singing even though he looked a little pissed
You can see/feel that crazy passion that they had for each other...
❤ 😊 definitely that time to repent and live all way for GoD mary
Marvin and Tammi Rick and Teena KC and Mary best duos!
It’s funny u can hear the love nd hurt in both their voices like Mary was reaching for the love from K-CI nd K-CI wanting to jus give her the love but dnt knw how
TWO EARTH SIGNS together... They took us "out of earth" with this performance.
It NEVER GETS OLD!
Mary J. Blige and K-Ci killed this performance they can sang this is real R&B music.
If they was still together they would be beyond a power couple
U sho rite!
Not only as a powerful couple but a powerful musical couple as well
The band understood the ASSIGNMNT.
5:22-5:28!!!! Jesus!!! I went somewhere spiritual
i come back to watch this every month
Always hitting this up on my playlist
The emotions, body language, chemistry, tension can't be coerced - it just poured out at just the precise time! 😉
💯💯💯💯
THEY KILLED THIS!!!
This is really a beautiful song. The performance is an all time great. K-ci was on top of his game. Listen to the clarity the control and emotion in his voice with little effort. Mary took this to Sunday morning level intensity as well. I could listen to this over and over. Sigh the 90's. We didn't really know what we had. Laady open up your heart and let me in where I belong. Yes!!
Jerald Armstrong omg yes K CI VOICE is impeccable!!
awww that's what he says...nothing better than a pain and pleasure song
I knew...the world knew...so many losses..lol
2023 I'm still listening/looking at this video. One of my favorite couples/duos. Wish they could've made more 🎵🎶 together.
Looking at this video you can tell that Mary loved K-Ci more than he did her. Check the body language. She was all touchy feely....He was singing to the crowd mostly...she was singing to HIM!!!! Can't remember though was this at the beginning of their relationship or towards the end...Maybe he didn't want anyone to know they were fooling around. If they continued to make music together... MAN!!!! This Unplugged was the best....They should make a duet album together now.
Lawd this song this performance their chemistry FAV!!!
they could've been one of the best power couples to ever exist in the industry
True facts
Cocaine is a helluva drug
You can see that they loved each other in this performance, I had no idea that they were even together. This song is so beautiful
Still sounds good in 2023!!❤
the ending part got meeeee wow, so much emotion!
CHILLS!!!
Pandora's Box for real girl
she said cus I love you k ci 💕❤️
Gave me chills . . .
I knew this song was personal between the two it's seems evident to me given their body language and facial expressions to each other!
I will ALWAYS love this performance. K-Ci really showcased his vocals on this one...maybe his most strongest solo vocal performance ever.
She loved him fr
The fact that they were fighting backstage before this performance is bananas and toxic AF 😩❤️😒😳🥺
I have been in love with this song for almost 30 years, and now I find an even more emotional version. I´m - speechless.
They were a couple. She was madly in love with him and it showed in this performance and her greatest album, some would say -I would say-My Life, is a product of that relationship.
I bet you could feel the energy coming from them in the building ...it seemed like they really had something...
They are performing for the 1st time in 30 years in Atlanta May 12, 2023. Waiting!!!!!
Oh wow. Wish I could be there 😔
Most underrated duo hit ever. This performance was so real
wow, hadn't seen this one, imagine if they had stayed together and had children....
DO YOU FEEL THAT ENERGY AND THAT CHEMISTRY IT WAS UNDENIABLE RIGHT HERE I JUST LOVE IT AND CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF IT......THIS IS MY JAM IT GIVES ME LIFE ..........REAL TALK.
I would love to hear them perform live 2024 this was heart felt song deep..
Jo Jo wrote this for them cuz he saw it before anyone else did.
A Brother knows his brother, they just had too much toxic love.....
No, Davante wrote this song
wow
Devante wrote their verses but jojo did write on this too
@Cortez Armstrong Bitch ya Mammy ain't on this threat so cool ya fuq'n nachos
I wish they could perform this song now in 2022 but lord I know that’ll never happen
Too much pain so that's why I think they won't perform,but it would be dope af
@@Alleyesonme-vy4jqomg yesss
I've seen this a thousand times and it still makes my flesh crawl. I hate drugs. such a waste.
She cried backstage this was powerful I'm not sure if y'all saw two inocent souls fighting for love on this stage.
Uptown was such a good lable, Andre should of keep it going
The passion and the vocals 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Back for the millionth time, unreal
That high as a kite love hit differently. I can watch this a million times. My era #80sBaby
I don't think I have watched it a million times but I know I have come close, even if it was only in my mind
I love mary j blige an she been threw a lot in her life but she stood strong an now she still look good an still making money
Classic. Two great artists singing their heart out. Applauds!!!!
Bring back memories great singers both of them especially kci Hailey
No one since Andre Harrell has had their whole label do an unplugged special
If my man don’t look at me like ..like he was looking at Mary 💜
K-ci can blow
SMASHING pERFORMANCE THEY JUST WENT THERE
I wish these 2 would of stayed together love them ❤
Drugs make what have been good bad😢
Kci hailey is top 10 all time vocally to me
Worked better because at the time they meant these lyrics to each other. Young love.
They did that
6 years later & still on repeat 😭🫶🏽
