Mary J. Blige expressed disappointment that ‘The Living Proof’ from the hit film ‘The Help’ did not receive a nomination for the 2012 Academy Awards. Yet, her frustration did not prevent her from delivering a stunning rendition of the song on ‘Live! with Kelly’ yesterday.

In addition to the show-stopping performance, Blige also co-hosted the entire show alongside the comedic Kelly Ripa. Watch all of the action, where Blige was surprisingly upbeat, below:
