‘The X Factor (US)’ included a stellar performance by Rock & Roll legend Lenny Kravitz last evening but there was another icon who appeared on the talent show stage. Glowing in white, Mary J. Blige delivered a rendition of ‘Need Someone’ from her ‘My Life II: The Journey Continues (Act 1)’ album.
Blige debuted the song on ‘Later…with Jools Holland’ with an emotional performance last month. Watch her ‘X Factor (US)’ showing below:
That definitely wasn’t Blige best vocal performance or song choice. In fact, she sounded unusually boring compared to her other passionate showings. Perhaps Blige was simply tired from her intense promotional campaign but it was unfortunate that such a major television appearance was where she happened to stumble.
