The "Enough Cryin" video was done very poorly IMO. she looks blinded by all the lights at times and her make up is too heavy lol
mary looks better in more down to earth videos like "One" or "No More Drama"

Mary J. Blige to make cameo on One Life to Live Updated 6/22/2006 10:49 AM ET
NEW YORK (AP) - Though she famously sang about wanting No More Drama in her own life, Mary J. Blige is about to be transplanted into a world of crime, scheming, back-stabbing and scandal. She's taping an appearance on ABC's One Life to Live.
The 35-year-old R&B diva, whose latest album, The Breakthrough, has sold more than two million copies, will perform two hits from that disc at the club Capricorn in the town of Llanview. The episode is set to air July 28.
"The cast and I, being huge fans of Mary J. Blige's tremendous talent, are thrilled that she will be appearing on OLTL," said executive producer Frank Valenti in a recent statement.
Erykah Badu and Chris Botti have also performed on the show.

FRIDAY, JULY 28: Okay, just a little more drama. Mary J. Blige, who's on the road with her "Breakthrough" tour, is making a daytime appearance on One Life to Live (ABC at 2 p.m. ET). The R&B diva won't be crying in an over-the-top scene - she'll be doing what she does best, performing two of her hits.

Me too. I like that song. That's the one song of hers that I've listened to again and again from this CD. I can't even remember the rest of them.

www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/LAC.20060824.BLIGE24/TPStory/TPEntertainment/Music/POP REVIEW MARY J. BLIGE WITH LETOYA A regal performance ALAN NIESTER Special to The Globe and Mail THE QUEEN... They call Aretha Franklin the Queen Of Soul. Ella Fitzgerald has been labelled the Queen of Jazz. Google hard enough and you'll find a Queen of Zydeco, a Queen of Western Swing and a Queen of Mariachi. Mary J. Blige, though, has been awarded the title Queen of Hip-Hop Soul. Certainly no one deserves the appellation more. When it comes to smushing together classic R&B vocal twitches with the occasional bit of bitchy-girl rap, Blige is in a class by herself. Not that she has a whole lot of competition in this field, but hey, numbers don't lie. Since her 1992 debut What's the 411?, Blige has released seven CDs worth of material, counted more than 25 million total sales, topped the pop, R&B, and dance charts, and grabbed three Grammys. With these kinds of numbers behind her, we're obviously talking about pop-music royalty here, no matter how it's defined. HOLDS COURT... And yes, it was a regal affair at Toronto's Molson Amphitheatre Tuesday night. Blige has obviously moved a long way away from the street-smart, confrontational, ghetto-fabulous image that shaped her earlier days, and now she has a lot more in common with slicker and more sophisticated performers such as Lauryn Hill and Beyoncé than she does with, say, Lil' Kim. Having said that, it's true that she led off Tuesday with the high-attitude R&B punch of the classic number Real Love. But as the evening progressed, she was seen to concentrate on slick and soulful ballads such as Alone and Take Me As I Am, numbers that evoked the finest moments of the best soul singers. And the staging of the performance itself was enough to give Celine Dion jealousy hives. With numerous costume changes, heavy metal-styled flash pots, integrated videos and a very classy two-tiered stage set, this came across as one of the more carefully crafted performances to come through town this summer. It was a very suitable setting for a Queen Diva, and one that could very easily uncrate itself in the Vegas spectacular scene in the near future. ...WHILE THE PRINCESS WAITS But of course, pop music (unlike baseball's American League East) never stands still, and LeToya (Luckett), who opened the performance, would seem to be casting an envious eye at Blige's aforementioned crown. The former Destiny's Child member, who left the trio acrimoniously in 2000, has already announced her intentions with a self-titled debut album that flew right to the top of the pop charts. But if LeToya wants to wrest the crown from the reigning monarch, she'll need a better display than she presented as Blige's opener. Singing a small handful of tunes with only a taped backing, and playing in front of a monstrous white sheet (which hid Blige's already assembled stage setup), LeToya's overloud 20-minute opening set was both a sonic and a visual nightmare. While she displayed requisite pipes and lots of energy, it also seemed as though the Blige camp had set her up for failure. Yet another indication that Blige is in no way ready to give up the crown just yet.

*Mary J. Blige will sing the title track for the upcoming film, “Bobby,” a drama from director Emilio Estevez about 22 people who were at the Ambassador Hotel when Robert F. Kennedy was assassinated. Laurence Fishburne, Joy Bryant and Nick Cannon are among the film’s ensemble cast. Blige’s song will be produced by Grammy-winning music producer Bryan Michael Cox.

A little surprising...I wouldnt expect someone like MJB to be singing a song for this type of movie. If the movie is getting Oscar buzz, Mary should get in on the writing action; write a few words in the song so she can nommed for an Oscar.
