The song is stately and has an air of melancholy. It's all too infrequently that we hear Mary tackle a quality ballad. She nailed it.

I agree. It's nice to hear Mary sing a pure pop ballad, which it is... nod

I can't get over how great Mary looks in 2011 vs 1997.

Why can't she record more songs like this one? It's lovely.

I think she personally needs to elevate from "hip hop soul" to just flat out R&B with some pop in it. She has the potential to do one (the Mary album).

nod That was THE BEST performance I've ever seen her do, EVER. If her album is along this calibur I may have to break down and purchase it. It would be my first Mary album purchase since '99. And might I add, she looks fabulous! >....running off to the gym right now biggrin

I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince.

VERY nice--surprising too. Not that she was so good, just the choice of song. Just lovely.

Nice performance. She actually showed some restraint and control. She should show this vocal maturity more when performing live regardless of what she's singing.
