Fun Fact: When Mary was staring at all the TVs on each screen was a piece of the drama going on at that time in 2001 in the world. The War that Bush started, Diddy's potential Murder Charge,Mariah Carey's mental breakdown etc. This song is soooo much of an impact on so many levels. So many people have thanked Mary for this song because it was so healing for then. Great reaction!!!
Especially Her Now Ex Husband/Ex Manager Putting Her Through Hell Cheating on her Spending All Her Money And what her dad put her through and knowing what she witnessed Besides the Ex Manager ,everything else is so real but my late husband passed away from a blood clot at 37
You forgot that in 2001 we lost R&B Princess Aaliyah to a horrific Plane Crash and Mary J.Blige said that during this time she new she was next to die and she changed her life because she had just seen Aaliyah and it hit her in away that she just couldn’t shake it off.
I will never forget when she performed this at The Grammy's. One of the most powerful performances I've ever seen. The thing about Mary is that she sings what she knows. From growing up in poverty without a father to being introduced to drugs, to be in abusive relationships and being taken advantage of, she's been through a lot in her life. And she's honest about all of it and puts it all out there. That's why people respect her so much. She is the personification of keeping it real.
The choice to sample or interpolate the piano theme from the soap opera "The Young & The Restless" for a song about letting go of one's soap opera-like drama is just freakin' genius. Another plus is the intensity of her delivery and body language in this video. It's empowering to watch and listen to.
Mary J Blige is is greatest r&b artist of the past 30 years. No singer can touch my soul the way she does. It's a secret in her voice that other singers don't have, and her music connects with all of us💯
She’s great but not the greatest in the past 30 yrs. I don’t know what you were referring to but I could name a few that are still relevant today in our community. And they are Brandy,Patty Labelle,Jasmine Sullivan,Fantasia,Monica and more. Maybe you aren’t familiar.
@@Kim-427 are u slow? No r&b singer 1992 and beyond can TOUCH Mary J Blige. Mary is a consistent r&b Paramount. 16 albums. 3 decades of relevancy. Brandy died off after the 90s. Fantasia has 2 hits. Dont ever compare any of those has beens to The Queen of r&b. Mary is the ONLY one still relevant. Her first single from her last album spent 16 weeks at #1 . Nobody's catalog can TOUCH Mary's.
@@thespectaculargremy535 I know we ain’t supposed to say this but R. Kelly definitely ran the 90s musically. You really can’t talk about 90s R&B without him
@@daprofessakid r kelly is the king and she's the queen. They both ran it. But She's billboards most successful r&b singer of the past 30 years . She outlasted him.
i was just thinking about that. that performance her live performance at the ray charles tribute with elton john and her performance FOR elton john when she sings sorry seems to be the hardest word are her 3 best. imo
Did you know that the sample of the piano is from the soap opera "The young of the restless" this song channel what Mary was going thru a lot in her life the most deepest song in her catalog there are plenty but this song was chart topper. Wow it's 21 year old but as much she pour her soul. There are plenty in the R&B genre is thought provoke that you don't know exist. There so much music that was created for you to catch up will take forever. But Mary took lesson from her predecessors she grew up on like Mille Jackson, Chaka Khan, Natalie Cole and so many to name. If you only knew the time line of songs like this then you would understand Mary influences.
She’s the most honest artist. She sings real topics and she shares herself and her issues she has been through or going through with her fans and that makes us love her. She’s my favorite female artist because she is so relatable regardless of race of religion. She’s definitely a Queen.
Mary J has a Biopic out on Amazon Prime. It is POWERFUL! She bares her soul in it & it definitely explains why she sings with such rawness. To say that she has seen some things is an understatement. She deserves all her flowers now. 💐
It brought me to tears...after all of these years. You should see her live performance of this song on the Grammys. Mind blowing! Thank you for reminding me of how much she moves my soul!
Mary J Blige is a living LEGEND! She sings with so much passion! You can hear the pain and resilience in her voice. She's been through alot such as heartbreak, physical abuse, substance abuse, attempted suicide, falling in love, falling out of love, marriage, divorce...she literally has a song for just about every situation possible! She's also seen the beauty and the dark side of the music industry. She's one of the best to ever do it...they call her the Queen Of Hip Hop & R&B Soul. She has 14 albums and tons of awards. She's also an actress and one of the recent movies that she was in was nominated for an Oscar. React to more Mary J Blige. Her songs will either make you dance, make you cry, make you think, pull on your heartstrings, inspire you, or make you come to some kind of realization about whatever situation you may be going through. She's a real R&B gem with about 30 years in the music industry. She has a documentary about her iconic album called My Life on Amazon right now that you should check out. Before you watch the documentary react to the song My Life by Mary J Blige. Definitely react to more Mary J Blige.
When you combine Mary J. Blige with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, you will undoubtedly create a chain reaction. This was one of at least two songs they did together, the other being the more uplifting 'Everything'. In No More Drama, they sampled the music from the beginning of 'The Young and the Restless' (even used the title in one of the lines "But maybe I liked the stress, but I was young and restless...' and in Everything they sampled the Stylistics (but put a little bit of a twist into it). Yes, this is a very emotional song, and she has seen her fair share of things in life and really put it into song in an unforgettable way.
I learned that anger needed expression otherwise it eventually became rage. I grew up in the same family. Every once in a while a song hits you in a way that isn’t always describable. This album by MJB is extraordinary. Do some research and you’ll find she went through her own hell to put this into this form.
I actually never heard this song before but its real deep and really sad! She’s a great singer and she her style as changed over the course of career but I agree this song is a masterpiece
You're such an empath. I know because I am one too. I feel like you just need a hug man. Let it out, it's ok to feel. Letting it out is what's going to fill up your cup again. When you say you've been going through the motions, it's somewhat easy to take that as a sign of feeling 'empty'. Quite the contrary, there's just too much stacking up already to take in more. Find a way to release your emotions: write about it, dance about it, talk talk and talk about it, confide about it, sing about it, draw about it, whisper about it, seek like-mindedness about it, seek support about it, reach out about it, yell about it, take part in activism about it, share your knowledge about it, make VIDEOS about it. You can do it, and you'll come out a happier person as a result. Authenticity hurts, but ultimately it will set you free. Hugs are coming your way man. ❤️
Thank you for the reaction, Mary poured her soul in this song she was in a domestic violence relationship also drugs , alcohol mid 90s she made it through . You saw puffy Aka diddy he was dealing with his stuff with court in 2000-2001. Also saw Mariah Carey she was going through the industry trying to destroy her when she had her break down in 2001 . Of course it was 2001 when 9/11 was on us . . This song the piano samples the young and the restless them .
Wow, the real emotions you were feeling, allow yourself to feel all that you need to, you become a much better version of yourself once you get through it. Always do and be you, you won't regret it in the long run.
The key word with Mary is AUTHENTICITY. Mary is the queen of hip-hop soul because she's truly singing about things from her heart and trying to reach people because someone she knows is going through as well, no matter how famous they are and/or fortunate they are in some other way. We all go through. I'm an African-American woman, but I got that from Chester Bennington/Linkin Park when I was younger, as I wasn't so much into R&B/soul at that time. But looking at this now, it brings tears to my eyes because Mary's feelings are clearly communicated through through the authenticity with which she shared them. For me, all the drama came from other people, making me withdraw into myself because there seemed to be no space for my feelings/self. I was drowning in other people's drama forced onto me. Now, living alone, all the way on the other side of the world, being able to breathe, I can still remember the hurt because it makes me wonder what kind of person I would have been otherwise without it. But I don't regret being who I am now. This is the kind of music that makes you think.
🤔😬It was quick but interesting to see Mariah Carey and P Diddy make cameos on the T.V. screens when she is singing in front of the store window, also the piano music is from a very popular long running soap opera called The Young and Restless😉
You should search for a live performance of this song. I had the chance to see her in concert many times and when she sings this it shuts the place down.
I joined your channel today. I think your commentary is deep and interesting. Keep it up. I hope to get a chance to check out more of the music that interests you. Blessings.
I feel like your thoughts post every reaction could be a little book of collected thoughts. Like a compilation of thought cycles that songs elicited in your mind.
She is the Queen of R&B, a genius that does not always get the respect of the industry. Her live performance of this song at the Grammys was more powerful than this video and you could hear her pain from not getting the rewards of her labor.
You have to see her do this song live, which she did on several award shows back in the day. Look it up on CZcams. That piano part at the beginning and end of the song was the theme music from a old soap opera. I think it was called, The Young and Restless from the '70s.
Mary has always represented the hood so she starts with that but shows that "Drama" can weave it's way thru anybody anywhere. For her she had just got out of an abusive drug filled relationship with another singer that people loved. Not sure of the exact year she got sober but I assume it was close to her start of this album. To see her perform this song at the Super Bowl with such passion was amazing.
I have yet to hear this song or see this video without shedding some tears. So powerful. I looove how you put your own experiences in your interpretations of the songs. You are fast becoming my fav reactor. Thank you.
Mary J Blidge sings what she's feeling at that time or/and what she is going through. Loved her music from the start. Only went once to a concert of her and to say it was fire is a understatement. To give my top 3 is difficult Not gon' cry, Real love, All that I can say, Family Affair, No more drama, Everything, You make me feel. Other collabs are As with George Michael and 911 with Wyclef Jean
This song is unparalleled in its power to make you take a good long look at your life, sort out your issues & get your sh*t together. So emotional & raw. Your commentary was insightful, sensitive & eloquent. You got my subscription.✌️💕
Unfortunately the most of time we live in our own bubble but outside there are so many bad things happening. Every one must fight their own demons to make this short existence a peaceful place , no drama, no pain, not hurt.
Funny to see someone who is too young to never saw soap operas and doesn't recognize the iconic theme from of the song from "The Young and the Restless." That's why she used it to refer to drama, like the soaps. As the World Turns." I grew up hearing it on TV daily. MJB is my fav singer. So glad you reviewed this!!! But stay on the positive, you are learning and doing well. MJB would be very proud of your analysis, appreciation for good music, your emotion, and your self-assessment. Loved it!!!
Check out Carol King "It's Too Late" from her album Tapestry back in 1971. BTW I can't believe you did a reaction to one of my favorite bands, Savage Garden and to my favorite song by them "To The Moon And Back." You have a new fan with that video.
Mary has definitely been through some shit. Her past is full of pain and trauma. You're right about this song not juts being her story but everyone's story. Watch her documentary to get a better understanding of her background if you're up for it.
Mary J Blige overcome so much pain. You have no idea. She sings from this place of Coming out of bad relationships. She from the Hood, you know she seen stuff. 😒🙄 like most of us.🤧😪😔
I have a request for you to react to “Remind Me” by Patrice Rushen. It’s an old school cut but it stands up against anything out today. Give it a shot.
@Anton she was molested at 5, was sexually harassed in middle and high school, and subsequently started using drugs drinking alcohol and random sex...she tried numbing all the pain in her life. Spent most her young life in the Bronx and in public housing. So yes she has seen it all in her life sadly.
I know I'm going to catch flack for this already, but I'll say it anyway. The "ghetto " and "the Hood" aren't the only places people have bad experiences. Your comment was a bit tone deaf. I appreciate you being open to new experiences, but the words you used have been used undermine, insult, downgrade, etcetera, etc. (That's so ghetto. ) Overall, good review. Your channel is one of the better finds I have seen this month.
Fun Fact: When Mary was staring at all the TVs on each screen was a piece of the drama going on at that time in 2001 in the world. The War that Bush started, Diddy's potential Murder Charge,Mariah Carey's mental breakdown etc. This song is soooo much of an impact on so many levels.

It's from Nadia's Theme (Cotton's Dream) later subtitled, The Theme from TY&TR.
I knew it!
@@davincibarnette it was the theme music for ty&tr before the 1976 Olympics which was when it became “Nadia’s Theme.”
She’s the most honest artist. She sings real topics and she shares herself and her issues she has been through or going through with her fans and that makes us love her. She’s my favorite female artist because she is so relatable regardless of race of religion. She’s definitely a Queen.

It's the 'The Young and the Restless' refrain for me. And it's powerful in general. The kind of song that truly touches and helps someone.

I'm truly feeling the pain and hurt and anger in me
That's why I love this song and her
@@cjturner2008 I know, its insane how she can transmit her emotions like that, I think passion like that is underappreciated.
I’m a big Mary fan and the way you broke “no more drama” down is art in itself. This moved me to tears .
It hits me like that every time I listen to it.
You have to see her perform this live. It will take your breath away
Mary J. always spit truth!

Another classic Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis production.
fun fact: The piano at the beginning is actually the intro from the soap opera 'YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS'.
Such a powerful song... heartfelt reaction Anton, sending love from UK ❤
Thanks Billy

I saw Mary in concert the summer before COVID started. She was amazing live
You need to react to a video of Mary singing this song live.
This song is so emotional 😭 😭
Crying 😭

Mary is a true soul singer. She sings from pure emotion. That is natural talent
I don't know if u have already reacted 2 it. But check out 21 years-Tobymac.
MARY JANE BLIGE THE QUEEN. Chaka Khan just kick rocks !!!!
MJB is a great example of authenticity and passion mixed to perfection. Another level indeed.
Her song "My Life" is what really breaks me. Each and every single time I hear it.
The queen is a beast.
Check one of her many Live performances of NMD. Also check her Documentary, "My Life" on Amazon.
MJB gave everything and left everything in this. Masterclass. Brilliant reaction.
Definitely take a look and Google Mary j Blige No More drama performance on the Grammys she blew the roof top
Mary J Blige overcome so much pain. You have no idea. She sings from this place of Coming out of bad relationships. She from the Hood, you know she seen stuff. 😒🙄 like most of us.🤧😪😔
She is the QUEEN 👸 👑

I have a request for you to react to “Remind Me” by Patrice Rushen. It’s an old school cut but it stands up against anything out today. Give it a shot.
Run away Love- Mary J & Luda
@Anton she was molested at 5, was sexually harassed in middle and high school, and subsequently started using drugs drinking alcohol and random sex...she tried numbing all the pain in her life. Spent most her young life in the Bronx and in public housing. So yes she has seen it all in her life sadly.
I know I'm going to catch flack for this already, but I'll say it anyway. The "ghetto " and "the Hood" aren't the only places people have bad experiences. Your comment was a bit tone deaf. I appreciate you being open to new experiences, but the words you used have been used undermine, insult, downgrade, etcetera, etc. (That's so ghetto. )
Overall, good review. Your channel is one of the better finds I have seen this month.
