Mary J Blige's My Life

It was watered down, and not as interesting as I thought it was going to be. Not saying she needs to tell the world ALL of her business, but she was so guarded about so much... If you're going to title a documentary "My Life"...and don't give us a real glimpse of really who you are... Why bother? A waste of time.

The Mike Tyson documentary was so so much better... Now that's a true documentary... Entertaining, Real, and Honest with the good & the bad.

It was definitely watered down or crafted to reflect on the music and not HER LIFE. I honestly believe she's saving the those critical details of her abusive childhood and relationships for an actual biography. This was not that. It merely presented her feelings and fan reactions about the MY LIFE album.

We all know Mary J Blige as this raw, strong and tough yet kind hearted soft inside woman with a powerful voice, who had her share of trouble and hardships in life.

But judging from this documentary you definitely dont feel or sense that. Unlike the EXCELLENT documentary. Supervillian : making of Takashi 69 (i dont like him or music but the docu is first class) where you really get the sense of how his character was built, who he is and what he is about , nothing of that is present in this doc. About Mary J .

Except a few passing mentions of life in projects and how tough life is there is absolutely nothing worthwhile said specifically about her struggles, her life, how she saved herself. This film does a huge disservice to her image and the strenght she possessed to stay upright after all that has happened. Of which nothing really is said here.

A terrible lame product which mocks the term documentary, more like a product of her PR team and created to be "appropriate" for "ages from 5 to 95" with no bad words, no portrayals of how bad her life actually got, no truth or what it took for her character to be forged.

Pathetic shallow money product to put on shelves for fans of any age to buy while buying a T-shirt and a mug with her name on it.

Mary J Blige what can I say ? I remember the first time I saw her she was in khaki pants and combat boots and stayed bent over blowing out her lyrics. She brought the truth then and she continues to do so today. Next chapter Mary, your fans are waiting with open arms!

I thoroughly enjoyed this little documentary. Touched on alot of things that she went through in the beginning of her music career. There's one reviewer that said they interviewed Sean Combs because he was around at that time. Umm helllloooo!!, he was her producer! People giving low ratings obviously know nothing about Mary. I was in high school when she blew up and I've loved her ever since. If you love Mary watch it, you won't be disappointed.
