The Oscar went to 'Coco,' but Mary J. Blige had the winning performanceListen closely, future Academy Awards performers: Do. Not. Let. Mary J. Blige. Sing. Before. You. One of pop music's most deeply committed performers, the veteran R&B artist almost always operates at 110%. And on Sunday's Oscars telecast, where she gave the first of the night's performances of the tunes nominated for original song, Blige made the acts that followed look like outmatched beginners. Singing "Mighty River" from "Mudbound" — in which her screen performance led to a second Oscar nod, for supporting actress — Blige dug deep into the gospel-fired composition written by her, Raphael Saadiq and Taura Stinson. She scrunched up her face as though experiencing the pain the song describes in lyrics like "Ego's a killer / Greed is a monster." She pushed her voice to its breaking point in a line about getting "this hurt off me." And she ditched words altogether at one point to embody the type of salvation that can feel like a river's cleansing waters. The performance was masterful, though "Mighty River" didn't win the Oscar. ("Remember Me," written by Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez for Disney's "Coco," took the original song prize; Alexandre Desplat won original score for his dreamy-spooky music from "The Shape of Water.") www.latimes.com/entertainment/la-et-oscars-2018-90th-academy-awards-mary-j-blige-may-not-have-won-the-oscar-1520276640-htmlstory.html

I thought the song from the circus movie was going to win. That performance slayed me! Poor Diane Warren has been trying to get this award for YEARS. Maybe next time.

Yeah I was shocked that the Disney song won, but when they said the writers also wrote that annoying Let It Go song, I understood.
Beyoncé and Jay-Z threw Mary a post-Oscar celebration last night.

So when are the new jams she teased coming? Was "Bounce Back 2.0" just a song for the fans, or was it supposed to be the lead single for her next album? http%3A//soundcloud.com/officialmaryjblige/bounce-back-20

A ignored gem from Think Like a Man Too! My favorite song on the album. Should have been a single. I wish she would've done a full album with Tricky and The-Dream. They've given her some of her best material in the 2000s. The album was actually pretty solid, and she was sending all kinds of warning shots to Kendu's ass on it.
