The 2009 American Music Awards was held on Sunday night (November 22nd) at the Nokia Theatrein Los Angeles with numerous performancesfrom todays top stars; including: Mary J Blige, Black Eyed Peas, Jay Z, Lady Gaga, Whitney Houston and more.
“I was damaged, in a good way,” Blige said of writing and recording the song.
“Precious” opens in limited theatrical release Nov. 6, and the Lee Daniels-directed film tracks the harrowing story of an overweight, abused and pregnant black teenager. Blige said Daniels was present at the recording sessions, and pushed the artist to the limit.
The director, Blige said, was “very passionate” about what he wanted, adding that “everything” she would do was “not enough.” Striving to add more emotion into the song, a slow-burning, bluesy soul number, Blige said, Daniels would say to her, “If you’re about to cry, just cry.”
Blige was a keynote speaker at a film and television music conference hosted by Billboard Magazine and the Hollywood Reporter. The R&B veteran was joined by Raphael Saadiq, who shares producing and writing credits on “I Can See in Color,” in a discussion moderated by Billboard’s senior editor Gail Mitchell.
Blige’s protege, LaNeah Menzies, also shares a writing credit on the tune. Menzies is signed to Blige’s Universal Music Group imprint Matriarch, and is one of the writers listed on Kanye West’s “Love Lockdown.”
