Free Music Review: One star? Like your tired game!
Hit: 4 Stars
As a veteran of many live shows Alica, Bros J., Chaka and more I can say "The suckas that don't like this album have never seen a good RB show live". The reason for the busy arrangements, are you kidding me? Live RB is about getting the audience into it. Every decent RB performer tried to get the audience fired up and ultimately turn the tables (except James Brown that is, he just blows you away)...Free Music Review: a must for those who never saw Mary Live
Hit: 4 Stars
While this album is old, and Mary no longer curses excessively at concerts, it is the closest thing next to being at one of her concerts. One can heard the power of her vocals and her singing style on this track. The songs I enjoyed were reminisce, share my world, summer madness, daydreaming, Mary jane, and I'm going down. This album belongs in every hardcore fan's collection.Free Music Review: Mary Rocks!
Hit: 4 Stars
This CD is amazing. Unfortunately the first 4 songs are really short. Just mini clips of her "What's the 411" CD. I'm loving it, a must buy if you are a huge Mary fan like me!Free Music Review: Have not recieved

Okay - I must justify the mediocre rating. Mary J Blige is a legend, and she will be for a long time. That's why I was so excited when I bought this CD. What is missing is that much of the material that made her a legend...that is, songs like "Real Love", "Reminisce" and "You Remind Me" are not here. Yes, they're listed as tracks, but she only does like one verse or less on these. Instead, you hear great songs like "Misty Blue", but they aren't what I bought the CD for...It isn't all bad though. She still does a stirring rendition of "Sweet Thing", and the best track on here (in my opinion) is "Missing You". It sounds so real, and that's what Mary is known for. I will give the CD this though: you do feel like you're at a live concert...in fact, it's a show in Los Angeles in late July/early August of 1997.
There is some cursing on the album, but other than that, it's the best live recording she's done since MTV's "Uptown Unplugged", which will be a classic. (Remember Jodeci's "Lately"?) At any rate, don't expect too much, that way, you'll be impressed when you get it. I still own it, so that says something...so be warned.
P.S. Her live version of ""Everything" is probably the second best on here...then there's "I'm Going Down"...so, it's like 3 stars. Pretty good! Peace and love,
P.P.S. OKAY...What they should have done was to take her best performances and compiled them...it's okay to not have them from one live show. Personally, I would have loved to hear "I Don't Wanna Do Anything Else" on here...even if it was with Dave Hollister (Blackstreet circa 1994-1995)and not K-Ci Hailey...alright, I'm out.
Basically, if you're not a die-hard Mary fan, you'll be satisfied.
Knyte.
