Mary J. Blige on The View Video 12-23-09

Here is the Mary J. Blige on The View video of her interview and performance of I Am on Dec. 23, 2009 on the ABC daytime talk show, in support of her newly released 9th studio album, Stronger with Each Tear.

During a brief interview with co-hosts Whoopie Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sherri Shepherd and Elisabeth Hasselbeck, the multi-Grammy Award winning singer-songwriter talked about performing at the annual Christmas in Washington concert, saying that singing before President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama was “intimidating” but noted that the Obamas are “really sweet people and have so much support for us.” She said of her stint as a guest judge on American Idol season 9 auditions that she tried to be honest with potential contestants without being abrasive.
