[Mary laughs]

Oh my God.

[laughs] That's awesome.

I know I didn't just see that.

Hi Glamour.

I'm Mary J Blige and you sang my song.

♪ Just fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, ooooh ♪

♪ Yeah I like what I see when I'm looking at me ♪

♪ When I'm walking past that mirror ♪

♪ Can't stress through the night, got the time of my life ♪

♪ Ain't worried about your feeling ♪

♪ Got my head on tight, I got my vibe right ♪

♪ Ain't gonna let you kill it ♪

♪ You see I wouldn't change my life, my life's just fine ♪

Faye made the song her own, her vocals are amazing.

She deconstructed the song.

She put different words.

She put verses where they didn't belong

but she sound, she sound great.

She got a nice voice.

She's very animated.

That made me feel so great and amazing

because I don't like to sound like the actual artist

for the most part

when I sing the song.

So when she commented and she noticed that

like, I sing her song differently.

But because it's her own song

of course she would notice it.

I was actually excited because I'm like

oh yeah, like, I switched it up a little bit just for you.

Oh God!

She has a voice, and yeah

she just made it her own, period.

Mary, I'm a big fan

and I do wanna say thank you for watching it.

I love you.

I respect you and, you know

I just hope that one day, you know, we'll collab.

[laughs]

♪ Good Morning, gorgeous ♪

♪ No one else could make me feel this way ♪

♪ Good morning, gorgeous ♪

♪ Good morning ♪

♪ Gorgeous ♪

♪ Hey ♪

I love how every artist

when they have amazing vocals and making it their own.

Dawn made it her own.

She added her own twists, her own riffs, and it's...

She killed it.

It's beautiful.

That was real, right?

Like...

I can't, I'm so emotional I can't even, you know

fan girl the way that I'd like to.

Thank you so much for even watching the video.

♪ No ♪

♪ I can't keep doubting myself, no, oh ♪

♪ If I wanted to be someone ♪

♪ I should learn to settle down ♪

♪ You should know I tell myself ♪

♪ I warn myself ♪

That's great.

Wow.

I didn't know she watched it. [laughs]

Dakota Riley, she just did it her way.

And that's the credit I have to give everybody.

She just sang the song the way she would sing it

from how she would sing it.

I can't hate on her.

It's, she did it the way she would do it.

I'm speechless.

I mean, I obviously look up to her.

Like, she's an icon.

And I think she must have been going through

a very similar thing to cut that song.

I know the place that she must have been in.

Huge fan.

I can't believe she saw it.

That's great.

Thank you to all the cover artists that cover my songs.

You did great.

You made it your own.

You win.

See you next time.

Thank you Glamour.
