All I know is that relationship got us the “My Life” album
Yessss
💯
Period 💯
And did
That part lol and share my world lol
this why i roll my eyes at ppl who say mary cant sing
Whoever said that can’t be trusted on any other topic. 😂
You know how them haters are but Mary can’t sing..but she can sang like hell
@@LarryDWilmore79 huh
Who say that
Never heard that
Boy you felt all the pain of that relationship when they performed this...
Yes they look so awkward
She seems to be in more pain then he is, she is singing to him but he's not singing to her,but facing the public. The connection is not there, he's singing to prove his singing skills, she is pouring out her heart to him😐
@kallahari7542 😢
It's call performing
@@kallahari7542. Amen! Speak on it! I see it too.
Am i the only who feels like this song should have won a grammy?
AMEN to that!!!
Definitely
This was the 90’s…they wasn’t studying hip hop or hip hop soul in that world yet baby.
@@ladimu1 true!
Hell yeah. This is my shit. I swear one of my favorite duets of all times. Ooh Mary J Blige " I told you a thousand times....."
Who's here It's April 9th 2024❤ Real music 🎶
4/19/24 my jam
4/22/24 ❤
For Sure 04/22/24.. they don't make music like this no more! Check out unplugged jay*z w/jaguar wright ...phenomenal ! The 80's to the 2000's was top tier for Hip-Hop & R&B
4/23/24 12:20am❤
4/25/24…. I seen this video many times… and I get chills every time…
He sings with so little effort...it comes so natural for him.
he mastered singing in his talking voice and that is an incredible talent. He could serenade a woman with a simple sentence
Yesss❤
Not an ounce of loyalty or commitment in his countrified self. Add the alcohol and whatever and it was doomed. Sad tho. Mary looked so sad.The sadness at the end.
10 seconds in I was thinking this lol
Most of that comes from singing in church
Everyone knows that K-ci is an exceptional singer, but Mary definitely held her own on this one. Her vocals were awesome. Absolutely amazing duet! So glad I grew up in the 90s. Rnb at its finest👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
At its finest and who even makes music like this now? What happened to the big vocal duet? We don't get them now.
We have to support singers with actual pipes so they can show the whisper singers how it's done.
A young man and woman chasing their dreams together. Their vocals are so raw and uncut. A young K-CI and Mary parallel on so many levels.
I was just thinking that listening to this right now
Are you still here??? 2024!!!🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Present!🎉
Yup I’m hear!!! 3/31/2024… This 2024 is open to all Truths!!!!l
She admitted this performance they were fighting and all back staged!!!They weren’t happy!!! Just faking it up…
@marisa7312 I guess it's like any other job.... Check your feelings at the door and go in to get that money. 🤷🏾♂️ From the outside looking in, they were a dope couple.
@marisa7312 2024 is on some other other sh%#! 🤣 I'm scared somebody might bring something up on me cheating on middle school test 🤣🤣🤣
She was so in love with a man that never loved her back 😢
No, she was in love with a boy who didn't know how to love her back. He loved her but hus immaturity and lack of manly guidance in his life kept him.from fulfilling the promises he made to her. Mary hasn't had a good report with men throughout her life
Com quem ela se relacionava na época ?
je ne comprends pas?
@@jonathanhenrique4826 Kci
@@jonathanhenrique4826 kick from jodeci group
Mary sing her heart out in this song! She was literally singing to him and only him.
@HeyKay_kay meanwhile he’s just performing, no emotion. Not toward her anyway.
@@giselleperez5548 Yes! He was giving Ike Tuner Vibes too
She Loooooveded that boy...😮😅lol: done went to to family BBQ, tight with momma....
The fact Devante Swing wrote this song at 22/23 is a testament to his genius. Mary and K-Ci made this song magical...
Devante is a str8 up genuis!!
❤still listening ❤to
Dam didn't know he wrote it that's dope
It’s the talent for me whew!
Jojo also wrote this song, but Devante definitely produced it
The body language was saying everything 😢
He’s turned away from her. He’s not open to her as much as she is to him. 😢
E.VRY.THING!!!!!!!!!!
@@LastoftheMohicans116because he’s usually high and drunk when he’s on stage. Lol
Wow great comment; I'll never forget when this came on the first time. It was very sad
Wow... looking at Mary J now, She has weathered the storms! I am so proud of her. Love the performance!
WYS🗣🗣🗣🗣! And living her life in public eyes! Can destroy anyone!!! Especially a woman!
and she looks good asf!
Yes!!!!! Mary J. is my home girl
Love+Passion+Toxicity=This masterpiece
They do not make music like this anymore, I miss these days
Ikr the good ole days when we all hung outside on the steps, late nights eating seeds, playing uno, etc… hopscotch jump rope ….some front doors left open at night no so much crime and danger in this time 🙏miss these days
@@Neil560This memory is nostalgic….take me back!
❤
@@Neil560 You said it perfectly, I would give anything to go back to that time.
I dunno. These were the days when talent was exploited to a maximum, people were cheated out of their money, and (in such an industry) drugs, though temporary, were the only retreat. We did get good music, but I suppose record label executives sought the current "overnight celebrity" trend as a way to make more money, and thus gone were the days of a talented hub hitting the waves. This is why you see otherwise garbage pail persons blowing up in a matter of a day. This is also the reason why the shelf life for any entertainer is constantly shifting lower and lower. Things will never go back to how they once were, especially with the introduction of the internet and AI.
I can see the tension between them
Right, there was no eye contact
I think everyone can see it… unfortunately 😢
They didn’t have tensions until My Life album this when it was new
@@karenmiller9825ummm rewatch the video. They were literally staring at each when Mary was singing in his face. Y’all have selective hearing and seeing. It’s gaslighting
Probably because he just found out that she cheated on him with an under aged Singer named Danny Boy who turned out to be gay
I remember watching this for the first time and thinking, "Did he just break up with her before they had to sing?" It's obvious that she's in love with him & he's just performing the song.
He had her thinking they was getting married than dumped her it was for the best the relationship was toxic
I remember watching it when it first came out in the 90s I remember thinking damn then I watch the interview of her is later and she said she they were having problems and they were using drugs
@poetlong2929 I remember watching that on TV that day. It was so sad and it had to be so humiliating for her.
Yall stop it Mary been with her husband for years 😂
Y’all just be making up ish! They don’t look like they have tension at all. Keep practicing your body language skills because y’all are poor at interpreting body language
in hindsight, can we all ACKNOWDLEDGE how amazing MTV Unplugged was??? ZERO autotune!!! Just some of the most legendary REAL singers belting out acoustic hits!!!
This was a beautiful song! Mary was singing that song like her life depended on it. She tried to work it out with him. No one deserves to be verbally, physically, mentally and emotionally abused. That’s when she was doing an 8 ball a day. She can still blow!!
This the best toxic love song duet if there ever was one
this duet was and still is powerful. if you know about these two then you know..
they were actually very well matched from a singing perspective. they both had that same style.
I always imagine that they would sing together casually and his churchy training sharpened her style
I miss the 90s. What a time to be alive! ❤❤❤
They had a rough relationship but this performance was stellar.They were on point realtalk
The chemistry between Mary J and K Ci is undeniable
That look at 2:30. K-Ci was fighting those feelings.
Chillleeee they forgot there was an audience…They young selves meant dat shxt…
Yes ! 😊 ❤
That’s what i said! Damn that pain
Being older and seeing how Mary J and K-Ci are now makes me realize just how much the music industry exploits and destroys plenty of the young and talented people who just want to have a career in entertainment.
Mary is considered one of the Queens of R&B music. What do you mean "seeing her now"
The beginning of Diddy's reign of terror. 👨🦯
He was all about himself in this performance. Just like their relationship
Evidence they grew up in the church! 😂🎉❤
😂
OFCOURSE KCI DID A THANG!! HUNNY MARY ATE THAT SHIT UPPPPPPP. One of my favorite performances and songs!!!
Baby Mary was in love then.She sang thing from her soul.The Undisputed Queen of Hip Hop Soul
This back when Mary was singing from the soul! I felt that 🔥🔥
He was playing the hell outta that piano.
I used to love this song so much 4:39 KC was doing the stanky leg before it was the stanky leg LMAO
hahaha...facts! Somebody posted a clip on IG years ago about that. I posted it and tagged K-Ci and he actually posted on his IG. Hilarious though, he definitely was the first to do it, way before it was a thing! lol
It was funky them days...stanky came 10 yrs later lol
Caught that too🤣🤣 #RealR&B
Yea we dats nigga man kc was foo 😂😆
"cause I love you K-CI". The way I got goosebumps.
They was SAAAAAAANGAN! These artist nowadays aren’t nearly as talented as the singers from the 90’s or earlier
I think the artists today have a lot of talent. There are some great singers out there. Many of them just aren’t singing with soul. I think that’s the difference.
I wish Mary and K-Ci could still sing like this. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Well Mary is a raw sangah not a technical singer so because of this she may not develop vocal nods (speaking from that point of time) but she will suffer with vocal fry. The difference is vocal fry is temporary but happens more often than not when your vocals are consistently being used especially if you’re a vocalist that does tours and interviews outside of your sessions point in case Mary J Blige. Vocal nodules can last for more than six months and requires lots of rest and although it don’t make you sound raspy, like vocal fry, it does limit your range and octave (s). You maybe able to access a level of head voice, a level of falsetto that it forces you to use when trying to reach high note and chest voice and it forces and it forces you to sing with your speaking voice point in case Mariah Carey. These two vocalists goes all out so Mary will sing songs that resonates with her speaking voice/Chest and nasal, thankfully she’s a soulful singer, and Mariah will be forced to sing only in head voices and chest and possibly falsetto but I think she’d rather lip-sync. Some have to wait years…so many years that it’s no point in coming back point in case Christina Aguilera and Brittany Spears. Technical singers, like Beyoncé, don’t do interviews, acting or mingle much because their voice is their sole career so they have it on reserve which is why they can always sound so crisp, clear, melodic and full of range. They don’t need the soulful emotions that Mary conveys or the high sky pitches that Mariah taps into…they simply only need the runs with a clear voice and if they don’t have that then it’s over for them point in case Whitney Houston. Mary has more options than any of em as she can rap-sing, sing-rap, speak a song or sing a speech she is cemented in her career as a diverse artist and actress, producer and writer as well as other endorsements. Vocal fry can happen real quick as you get older and so, unless they have a vocal rejuvenating remedy Mary will never sound like this ever again but is still capable of giving us great and amazing music. Others don’t have that luxury as they get older especially those in their mid 40’s and 50’s…hell, at 50+ Mary is doing hella good and looking flawlessly amazing, like the Goddess she is.
K-Ci, can still sing his tail off, but Mary J doesn’t sound like she use to. Her vocals aren’t as strong anymore.
No further trauma bonding please.
Mary can I don't know about k_ci
I BELIEVE THE VOICES ARE STILL THERE......
A Forever Classic Performance....that we will Never See again.
The raw and honest emotions in this performance are palpable. Street gear and a microphone....Classic 90s R&B. I know it will probably never happen but I'd love to see them do another duet. 🤷🏾♀️
@kristinaparker5597 that would be phenomenal! They should have had an Uptown reunion 25 years later, (which would have been 2017) while Andre Harrell was still with us.
@@giselleperez5548 Agreed 👍🏾
WHO SAID THAT MARY CAN'T SING?! Whoever said that is absolutely right! Because Mary can SAAANNNGGG!!!💯💯💯
They dont make music like this Anymore ❤
They don't 😢
The 90's were Bangin! Nothing was bad back then, when it came to Music! 🎶
They sang the mess outta this song!
Thats sweet ❤
If someone put together a well done, and I repeat, WELL DONE movie just on their relationship in this era I think many of us would watch... it would be dope if it ends with her singing My Life in the studio as she is recording the album.
This song came at a time when they were heavy into drug use and fighting all the time!! I’m glad they made it through ❤️❤️❤️
They killed that but you can tell things had already gone downhill in their relationship.
What was good about 90’s R&B is 85% of the artists actually knew how to sing frfr… it’s a whole different level of R&B in this new era….
I'm here. May 2024. A few things that I noticed....First off, I just want to say this was an excellent performance of this song. From the band, the background singers and of course Mary and KC. Secondly, for those that didn't know, they were dating during this time. And tabloids had this relationship labeled as questionable at best. And that's putting it lightly. And judging from Marys body language, you can tell she was not a happy camper at the start of the song. But she quickly got in character, as only a professional should. Whatever was going on between them, she put it aside for the moment and flat out delivered on this song. Kudos to her! This song was absolutely one of my faves back in the day. It's nice to see Mary going strong and STILL putting in that work.
Damn...I MISS THA 90S!!!!
She was singing her truth.
I’m still watching in 2024❣️
young love... they grew and learned. God bless them both where they are currently at in their lives ❤
Yes l’m here in 2024. You can see the love in his eyes when Mary started to sing to him. ❤
In the beginning of the song Mary looked so sad. Then she got into the performance. And KC sounded very good as usual. This performance of the both of them singing together was very nice indeed.👏🏽❤️👩🏽🎤🎤👨🏽🎤💙💯🔥
Nah she good she always look like that
They actually had a very toxic relationship and had just had an argument backstage before they had to perform together. You can see both of them were a bit lowly in the beginning then as they continued singing the lyrics, the chemistry came alive.
Yes cause this was a bad relationship for her.. That love was hurting her. 💔 but beautiful song.
@@PhoenixGoddess it really was I remember reading Sister 2 Sister magazine and Jamie Foster Brown did an interview with Mary's mother and she talked about how she didn't care for Kci she would try to see Mary and he wouldnlet her Momma in i never forgot the article Mary loved him but Kci didn't live her like he should have sad
He was beating her back then.
And...She REALLY LOVED BUDDY!
And he thought he was the shh too..
It blows my mind that they was just teens making this classic music..
He was never really into Mary like she was with him. His body language says a lot
They killed this song. I don't think they get enough credit for it.
We all know what Mary was going thru with him.. he was abusive.
Yeap
stop blaming him. She was also on drugs
They both were toxic
@@ArtTheSinger And both of them were in their 20s around that time
@@ArtTheSinger wtf her being on drugs gotta do with him being abusive
They don’t sang like this no moe smh
Loved the 90s look!! Fake nails but No fake Lashes!!!
love thiscomment!!!! lmao
Along with any other fake prosthetics 🤭🤭
No fake butts and tits either 😂
What’s wrong with eyelashes? Is it really that serious 🙄 ?
Lashes are out of control. Y'all looking like wings 🤣🤣🤣@@CelesteJem
Reminds us of the good days of real music and those MTV videos
I remember when this aired and the performances were all fantastic. This right here though blew my mind. The production, arrangement and emotion came through the tv. In my mind it set the standard for live R&B performances. This was Mary J. Blige at her peak and Jodeci was the one of the top R&B groups. You cant watch this and not feel the real emotion in this. If anybody wondered how they felt about each other it was right here on display.
5:28 Cuz I love you K-CI !!!!! 😢 I felt that in my soul. Mary!!!!
They sang the shit out of that song! BRAVO
They were so young and dangerously in love.. she was MARY HOOD PRINCESS AND UNDENIABLY THE QUEEN AND HE WAS K-CI PRINCE CHARMING WITH A VOICE THAT’LL WET A OCEAN. She was so pretty and he damn sure was fine❤❤❤😢
Mary j and kc killed this song
They got me all in my feelings in 2024 thinking about the love I once had😢😭😢
They did an amazing job! Brings back memories. Loved the 90’s ❤
That has gots to be the best live duet ever.
Two incredible voices!! What a performance. They killed it
I can imagine what it felt like being in the audience #timeless
Wow! Now this was great music. I miss this era. Mary and KC was together back then. She didn't look happy and was all over her face. Beautiful performances. ❤
I'm sure he was a handful like most men was back in the day I'm the same age as Mary and those men back then was something else lol 😂😂😂😂
That 411 album was the sh**, Auntie know she sang the Hell outta those songs!!
That whole show (Uptown MTV Unplugged) was fire! Mary J. Bilge, Jodeci, Christopher Williams, Heavy D & the Boyz and Father MC. 🔥❤️🔥🔥❤️🔥🔥❤️🔥🔥❤️🔥🔥❤️🔥
Oh, how I miss the 90's!
Baby yall not messing with the 90's and never will 🔥🔥🔥
Boy this hit different...and you can feel the energy with them...Ahh I miss this era man damn
❤❤❤they loved each other younger version of Whitney n Bobby drugs got n their way n they were toxic 😮❤❤love them both
The good old days .. i wish i could go back 😢
This performance reminds me of the “ What’s Love Got To Do With It” movie the part where Tina was on stage singing and she started crying…you can feel the tension and sadness between these two.
I’m really reliving my 30’s with this video and I love Mary J and K/ci gives older soul singer vibes-- perfect and so Dope!- it is now 3:45 AM March 21, 2024, and I’m up reminiscing
I understand her when she said i do everything for you and a smile i still cant find 🌷 Smile for yourself
From 2:12 towards 2:46 i felt that cry deeeeep from her soul
Just kids here! Legends now. He took Mary through a lot but she overcame it all. The song was fire! 🔥
One of the best duets I have ever seen. Top five if not #1 all time. It was live no echo on the mic. The best voices of ol school rnb. Ijs. Mary J and K Ci need to do this again. Probably not but a good thought.
I had to go back and look at it again. Because of a comment. And I will say that yeah K Ci got love for Mary but not like Mary got love for him. It's unfortunate.
I just love K-ci's voice. I love his singing style
Mary had that voice during her younger days. They sound good together.
It would be so out cold if they remade this 2024 ❤❤❤
Mary is a true Capricorn, “imma do this job, but just know u got me fu€k’d up…” you can tell they had got into, this my song tho❤
lol yes a true Capricorn 😂💗
For those who are to young to know or never grew up in that era that’s her real luvvv rite there K.C
They sounded so good together....only if....they both could have stayed away from them demons❤❤
Mary dodged a bullet with K-Ci, her heart ached for a while for him…but in time, that too passed…I ❤Mary & she deserves much happiness 🙏🏾
Man KC is pissed!
Imagine an entire album from them 😮🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Damn Mary was in love
In the 80's, the dynamic duo was Staci Lattisaw and Johnny Gill....also very powerful voices. Check out "where do we go from here"..I still get chills today listening to that song. talent like this is so rare these days.
They both sound great but they must've had an argument before the show. The tension is very noticeable. KC treated Mary so bad. She was so in love. They were young. I'm proud of who Mary has become.
Two of the greatest voices in the R&B musical industry. YEAHAAAA!! 😊❤❤❤❤ OMG!! Mary gave me CHILLS when she came in. Just DAMN¡! ❤❤ LET'S hear it for the band and accompanying singers also. YEAHAAAA!!!
