Unconsumed by a hardship-ridden past, this famous songstress just seems to get sharper and better every time, but believe it or not, she's never performed in San Antonio, until now as part of the VIII Annual Love & Happiness Comedy Show. A scheduled 2006 concert was canceled days before the show, so fans will be snatching up tickets to not miss out again. Rising from the turbulent Bronx housing projects where she grew up, Mary J. Blige has evolved into a worldwide acclaimed artist with a staggering eight multi-platinum albums, nine Grammy Awards and four American Music Awards. The Queen of Hip Hop Soul's latest studio album, My Life II–The Journey Continues (Act 1), is a sequel to her 1994 album My Life, and is similarly packed with themes of adversity, love and courage. With songs featuring NAS and Beyoncé, her 10th album reflects a more empowered and confident Mary. Illusions Theater, Alamodome, 100 Montana St., 207-3663, alamodome.com.
