Neck scarves a must for Mary J. BligeThe 'No More Drama' singer, Mary J. Blige, has revealed that wearing neck scarves is something she incorporates into her pre-show ritual. Like most vocalists, Blige has a routine that she performs before stepping onto the stage, but hers is purely professional and she talked the New York Post through it: "Humidifier. No air-conditioner on show day. Drink lots of water. Wear neck scarves. Do warm-ups. Don't yell at anybody. My voice coach gives me a CD, so I practice those lessons before I go on stage." Unlike many of today's autotuned pop princesses, she enjoys maintaining vocal excellence naturally and continued: "The throat gets tired. You get hoarse. There's reflux. Sleeping, you burn up your vocal cord. You must care about that. It's a muscle. It needs fine tuning." "See, you've got to be the best. I want to be the best. There is no trick."
