Blige"] to chat about all things Mary J!  From her new CD, “My Life II,” to the death of her friend [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Whitney Houston[/lastfm], her upcoming movie “Rock of Ages” with Tom Cruise, and how she got discovered!  She’s a real living-legend. Listen to Mary J. Blige on The Morning MIX!

Speaking on the death and legacy of Whitney Houston, she said:

Environment is very, very important.  So if you have yes men and people around you that just want a check and they will tell you anything and give you anything just to keep you nice and liquored up and high or whatever you need to be  just to satisfy them, you’re messed up.

When you think about Whitney, she was always nice to us.  Like she gave me my first shot on Divas Live when I was considered as the little girl from the ghetto that nobody wanted to mess with and everyone was scared of me and scared of my camp, Whitney called me.

She was always giving to all of us, even when she was at the top.
