I don't know how to 43 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:33,640 Speaker 2: love him, and everything's all right, but in the interest 44 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 2: of an honest review. 45 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 1: I didn't get. 46 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 2: Mary Magdalene from her, if you know what I mean. 47 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:42,839 Speaker 2: I just didn't get the stage presence as Mary. 48 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,640 Speaker 1: Rather than just someone singing Mary's songs. 49 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:51,079 Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, but she's her rendition of 50 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,919 Speaker 2: the songs up there with the best I've ever ever heard. 51 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 2: Her voice gives you chills, so it takes nothing away 52 00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 2: from it. But finally, I will say this without any 53 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 2: shadow of a doubt in my humble opinion, Javon King, 54 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 2: you are the best Judas I have ever ever ever seen. 55 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 1: And I've seen a few Judases and a few Judases, 56 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:16,799 Speaker 1: you are the best.
