R&B veteran Mary J. Blige talks about what drew her to make music for the heartbreaking new film "Precious" in a video interview with Billboard.com.

In today's Daily Noise, brought to you by Fuse and Billboard.com, Bill Werde catches up with Mary J. Bilge at the  Billboard and Hollywood Reporter Film and TV Music Conference in Los Angeles to talk about her musical contribution to the new film "Precious."
