If you love Mary you will love anything that she does. I enjoy the artist and I feel like she lives her music. This DVD lacked the quality of the "Mary J. Blige - Live in Los Angeles ", but it is a stepping stone for her growth as a performer. Don't get me wrong she still blows most artists out of the water but the DVD has a few mistakes that where notable.

Still a must have for Mary J's fans but novel listeners would enjoy the "Mary J. Blige - Live in Los Angeles" DVD more

What can I say? Mary J. Blige is the ultimate Queen of Hip-Hop and R&B. I'm 26 years old, and I've grown up with Mary during her 10+ years in the business. This is a must have dvd for all Mary J. Blige fans and it is well over due. I have been waiting for this for a long long time! Mary is the Aretha of our generation and she more than proves herself in this performance. Definately check it out. Also, don't forget to catch the Live from LA dvd. I saw the Love & Life Tour twice in NYC and the dvd is awesome as well. Much love to you Mary...always. I hope there are more dvd's to come from you. All the real Mary fans need now is a dvd with all the videos on it...that would be great.

Whoever said here that if you love Mary, you'll love anything she does is 100% right. More than any artist in pop culture today, Mary has a rabidly devoted fan base, but even if you aren't a Mary fan, this DVD is worth a look.

AN INTIMATE EVENING WITH MARY J. BLIGE is the standard concert film. But Mary is not just a regular old artist. She's practically a deity, a way of life for her fans, which makes some of her other concert films hard for non-Mary fanatics to understand the hype.

But because this DVD includes performances by better-known performers like Elton John and Sting, it makes Mary J. Blige more accessible to those who have yet to be converted to Cult of Mary.

Another thing that makes this DVD different from some of her others is that the crowd isn't really made up of Mary fans. Yes, there is a pack of them that the camera points toward at certain parts, but overwhelmingly this is a white audience of Hollywood types. And it begins with testimonials from people like Kelly Osborne, Jessica Simpson, Lil' Kim and model Rachel Hunter who profess their love for Mary and her emotionally charged performances.

And though the crowd is somewhat enthusiastic, you can easily identify the real Mary fans who apparently won tickets to the event because they are concentrated to the side of the stage and many appear to be crying straight through the concert as they lip synch every song, completely mesmerized by Mary as she performs her biggest hits, including, My Life, You Gotta Believe, Not Gon' Cry and No More Drama to name just a few.

Mary's one of my wife's favorite artist, so I bought this DVD and Live in LA for her. We haven't seen the L.A. one yet, but have seen this one. While I was at work, she checked it out and told me that she looked at it twice, back to back,...it was that good. I've seen about half of it and was impressed. I am a musician and sound engr, so I was very pleased that the band was hard hitting and their live renditions were excellent as was the audio mix. I have started a collection of DVD concerts and glad we have this one for the collection.

I mean, who doesn't like Mary live? Buy it and add it to your Mary collection. Have it playing during a party in the background on mute...its something about Mary.
