Mary J Blige's My Life

Mary J Blige's My Life

It was definitely watered down or crafted to reflect on the music and not HER LIFE. I honestly believe she's saving the those critical details of her abusive childhood and relationships for an actual biography. This was not that. It merely presented her feelings and fan reactions about the MY LIFE album.

Mary J Blige what can I say ? I remember the first time I saw her she was in khaki pants and combat boots and stayed bent over blowing out her lyrics. She brought the truth then and she continues to do so today. Next chapter Mary, your fans are waiting with open arms!

The name sounded familiar but when I heard the singing I knew it wasn't my kind of listening. It didn't stop me from watching the documentary though which to be honest I found to be pretty boring. Her meet and greet with the fans who poured their hearts out to her received an uninterested response from Ms Bilge. I would of welcomed some questions about her choice of wigs, such as why the constant almost addicted wearing of white woman's hair. Is she doing a Michael Jackson and rejecting her black roots (excuse the pun) but there is certainly a whole lot there even maybe abuse she needs to put in a warts and all documentary, one which is worth the time and effort to watch.

The tears began to roll in the opening minutes and flowed freely throughout the reel. Mary's story is resonant. Deeper than the words spoken. The truth and power is felt in the gut. So many of us remember what the My Life album did for us and this movie is an emotional and triumphant walk down memory lane. The victory is deeply OURS as much as hers. True fans will be moved deeply and emerge inspired for what your own tomorrows hold. You'll be grateful. And just when you didn't think it was possible - you'll love Mary even more than you already did.

Unfortunately I didn't grow up with her music but of course know who she is and have heard some of her songs. I was interested to watch this as it would touch on her depression and I'm going through a very tough time myself. While it was inspiring I didn't learn much about Mary at all. It's glossed over every topic and had some unnecessary filler. Still worth a watch though.

I was in high school when Mary's first album, "What's the 411?" came out and have been a fan ever since. If you also grew up on 90s hip hop and R&B, you'll probably enjoy this for the nostalgia factor alone. The documentary shed some light onto Mary's childhood and early years as an artist. Mary's voice is featured prominently throughout. 10 out 10 for me.

Watched this yesterday and it did not disappoint. We all know her story with that dysfunctional relationship with KaCi from Jodeci but to here it from her vantage points to explain what she was going through.. was heartfelt and very emotional. I cried with her and My Life ALbum has also got me through some tough times. Excellent Doc. I am glad Mary is still here that we can give her her flowers now.

Nothing to see here. Don't taint your view of Mary J's talent by watching this egotistical and self indulgent tripe.
