Mary J. Blige Explains Singing to Hillary Clinton


Immediately following the last presidential debate promo clips from Mary J. Blige's upcoming interview with Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton began streaming online where Mary inexplicably begins singing Bruce Springsteen's 2001 single 'American Skin [click here if you missed that].'

Mary explains her motivation...

In a press conference this week Mary explained,
"I wanted to incorporate the song in the show because the lyrics resonated with me so deeply and so heavily because of all the shootings and police brutality and I never got a chance to say anything." 
 "I'm a singer first ...so that's the only way I can express myself and ...the only way I can get that reaction from (Hillary) is to sing it."
"I didn't warm up ... I just sang ...It was organic and that's how it went. And hopefully, I believe she felt it, I think she did."
