In a November 2025 interview, Blige noted her difficulty in choosing a favorite song to perform live, stating, “I can’t really pick. They’re all bangers. Every last one of them.” However, she expressed a newfound love for her hit “Be Without You,” which she hadn’t performed in a while. “It was fun to perform with the audience,” she remarked, adding that the crowd sang along to nearly every note.

Blige also recounted her fans’ enthusiastic reactions during her performances. She explained, “Any time I begin to dance, they say, ‘Go, Mary.’ No matter what it is, they’re like, ‘Go, Mary.’ And it’s never just one of the signature moves, it’s all the moves.” She emphasized the unique connection with her audience: “They just love to see me dance because they know I’m not going to do the normal stuff.”

“I’m going to do what I want to do, and that’s it. They just love it. They just love to see me dance,” Blige concluded.
