		<description>back in the day it was cool when r/b mixed with rap at the bridge or whatever.  it's overkill now.  i want r/b to be like it used to be and leave the rappers in their own arena, now that it's mainstream and running on it's own tank of gas.  'obsessed' came on and im bumpin it then suddenly jeezy or somebody come on at the bridge...stationed changed.  phuck that.  i dont wanna hear rappers on r/b songs any more.  it's nothing against jeezy or any other rapper but singers please get back to singing. you've carried these songs for decades without rappers, pleaes continue it.

record companies aren't spending money on promotions like the past. they figure with so much social networking, the artist should carry the weight of getting their "fans" to buy their cds and come to the shows.  a million followers mean nothing when only 50,000 will get out and buy your product or download your song.  wtf are the other 950,000 doing?  

too bad for mario.  they want to put out lead out songs with these "hot for the minute" rappers.  nah, artists should shoot for staying power, not for the moment songs.</description>

		<description>I certainly have nothing against Mario and am in fact a fan.  Breakup was my favorite song of the moment until Latoya Luckett's new joint came out.  Still, I have never bought a Mario CD solely because he is forgetable when I am at the music store.  I simply don't think of him.  He strattles the line between teenie bopper and grown man and I must say I like my R&#38;B crooner full grown.  I will try to remember to pick this one up.

Sorry Mario.</description>
