The Evolution of Mary J Blige

I've never considered myself to be a Mary J Blige fan.  In fact, on the contrary, her gruff voice didn't appeal to me at all.  I considered myself to be the one MJB non fan.  I did not like all the *drama* songs.  When she flipped the script and got happy - so did I.  I actually started to listen to her more and enjoyed a few cuts here and there.

That is what I thought anyway.

Today I watched 'The Evolution of Mary J Blige' on BET.  And it turns out I'm quite an MJB fan and didn't even realize it. I mean, I knew of the hits, and sang right along with them as they played, but even some of the non-hits I dug too.  She is undeniably beautiful.  Even in her craziest get'ups, she shines.  As they spent two hours reviewing her evolution and all 8 of her cd's it also occurred to me how inspiring her story really is.

Glad I caught it and proud to say I am a Mary J Blige fan!
