Mary J. Blige accepts the award for best female R&B vocal performance for 'Be Without...
Blige acceptance nears 2 minutes
Sun Feb 11, 11:35 PM ET
Accepting her R&B album of the year award for "The Breakthrough," Blige dropped 55 names — including God, Jesus, her three children, countless record-company executives and the tape delivery guy.
Blige talked for nearly two minutes — an eternity on a televised awards show — including going on for a good 30 seconds after the music started playing to signal her to wind down, spitting out names faster and faster as the music swelled.
Accepting her second televised award for best female R&B vocal, she held it to a lean, TV-friendly 35 seconds.
