The Queen of Hip-Hop Soul Mary J. Blige opened up the 2011 BET Awards by performing a slew of her past hit songs.

Blige, dressed in a skintight white outfit, began the set with her ’90s hits ‘Mary Jane’ and ‘Real Love,’ and then introduced the legendary Anita Baker, giving her props for inspiring her during her career.

“This song I’m about to sing — if it was never made, I would not be here tonight.”

It was an emotional moment until Twitter went wild buzzing about the fact that Anita rocked the EXACT same dress she wore when she performed during the 2010 Soul Train Awards in Atlanta…

Sadly… all that twitter buzz was true…

Now I know Ms. Baker has enough gowns in her closet that she didn’t have to repeat that black lacy number!

All jokes aside Anita Baker still looks FABULOUS!!  And who cares if Anita Baker wore the same dress to two different award shows? I mean really… how many fancy dresses does one need anyway?? *shrug*

But I digress…

After her performance with Ms. Same Dress Baker, Mary premiered a brand new single featuring Jadakiss & DJ Khaled.

Video of the performance below:

Mary premiered a new song called ‘It Ain’t Over Til It’s Over,’ and was accompanied by Jadakiss and DJ Khaled. The tune is a club banger that features Jadakiss delivering a few rap verses and Khaled serving as hype man.
