Review: All I got to say is...wow. That's it.


On the serious tip, even if you aren't a big fan and you watch this, you'll be like, 'damn, she's good...she's real good.' The next DVD should be f**kin' tight as well. And when are we gonna see a 'Greatest Hits' Music Video Collection from MJB? It's time.
Buy this DVD and you'll be in awe. Complete awe.

Review: Hey, what can I say, at first I was like what is with all the remixes? But after getting back into the groove of the dvd I was very happy with my purchase. Seriously, Mary killed it! My favorite part was the intro Mary came down that stage and broke into "You Remind Me," that was so tight! Then, the testimonials were great as well. How she spoke of her personal issues, father, men .... List goes on, she was very thought provoking! If you don't have this dvd please go cop it because you are missing out!

Summary: MARY KILLED IT!!!!!
Review: I am so proud that I purchased this DVD. I saw Mary when she performed at Radio City Music Hall in NY and her performance along with her testimonials had people clapping and crying, including myself. She let us go down the road with her and allowed us to feel what she was feeling and thinking, when she may not have been loving and respecting herself and being in less than perfect relationships with men (including her daddy) to a new day where she has found true love and have a total different outlook on life. After watching this, I felt like doing a commercial. Seriously any true Mary fan would love this dvd and would want to add this to their collection.

Summary: Now this is what a concert is all about
Review: I couldn't agree more with the other reviews here.

I'm not much for filmed concerts of any musical genre. They usually fall flat and there's so much camera work that it's hard to stay focused on the music. Not so with "Live In Los Angeles".

To say this concert is enjoyable is an understatement. We were dancing in our seats, waving our hands, applauding and felt young again watching Mary. It's not about costumes and glitz on stage. The music and the voice are what's commanding your attention here. You can't help but be caught up in the mastery of Ms. Blige's voice. She has never sounded better to my ears.

From the whirlwind groove of hit singles she starts the show with to the quieter thought provoking "Children of the Ghetto" centerpiece, then back for more uptempo songs through the end, Mary's energy and passion for the music and lyrics never wavers. The band is superb and those back up singers...WOW!!!

Not one song is ever lipsynched to. Brava, Mary!

Now I can't wait for the performance at House of Blues to be released shortly. You've made me a fan, Mary.

Summary: Excellent, phenomenal concert from Mary J!
Review: Mary J Blige's concert from Los Angeles came out so beautifully on the DVD! She sounds superb vocally after more than a decade in music. She smartly does a medley of her past hits before moving to the central part of the concert. She has visual parts in the show with the dancers acting out the lyrics she sings. Children of the Ghetto is so very well done by her. And songs like My Life, Not Gon' Cry, No More Drama, Family Affair, You Don't Have To Worry, Love At First Sight and many others sound quite good live. Her band and singers sound superb all throughout! Had a lot of the crowd on its feet during most of the songs. Mary does a fine job talking to the crowd about her life, her past experiences, her struggles, her fighting back and other aspects between the songs. It makes the show livelier too.

Summary: I don't Think They Ready For This Mary.....
Review: Mary J. Blige was the front runner in the genere of "Hip Hop Soul". A genere basically started with her and Puffy. She is the undisputed Queen of Hip Hop Soul, my generations Aretha Franklin. I have to give Mary props, she always kills it live. I still get chills down my spine when I watch her classic 2002 Grammy Performance, where she threw down "No More Drama". You feel Mary's pain, love, sorrows, joys when she sings. She is one of the few singers that can do that to me. Im glad she has overcome so many deamons, and hope she stays strong, she deserves it. Back to the DVD, ITS HOT. BUY IT NOW. I was feeling down last night, so I popped in this DVD, and went to "Marys Church". The raw emotion that comes out of her is supurb. She's great.

Summary: Speechless
Review: Mary, Mary, Mary, what can I say? Not only is she @ her best vocally, but there's so much emotion and passion in her voice. No-one in our generation can compare to Mary. On this DVD she shows exactly why is the "Queen of Hip-Hop Soul". Listen to her sing "Your Child" or scatting with her guitarist on "The Love I Never Had", and you will know she's a LIVING LEGEND.

GO COP IT!

Summary: Testimonial!!!!
Review: This is truly a testimonial. Mary really did her thing on this DVD! Her singing was so heart wrenching & true to heart that I cried especially "Children of the Ghetto" & "No More Drama. Mary is a true performer with no holds barred. Her performance and stage presence has excelled over the the years, she is like fine wine...She gets better with time. I have been an avid fan since the 411 because Mary has never stopped puttin' out the hits. I hope she continues to soar to greater heights. This is a must buy, must see DVD to add to your collection! Where would Hip Hop be without Mary's contribution?

Summary: Mary J. Blige was off the Chain
Review: WOW, was all i could say after watching this DVD. I have not been to a Mary J Concert since the 2000, "Mary Show", and that was awesome. But this was incredible. For all the true Mary fans that was waiting for Mary to have a tour DVD this is for you... Mary put so much feeling into the songs it was scary. She was hitting every note, and she really bared her soul. I would suggest this DVD to any Mary fan. It also had a few behind the scenes shots, with preparing and at the tour. Mary's vocals went to another level on this one, and as usual she gives her all into it. All I can say is Buy this DVD you will not be dissapointed.
