R&B Diva Mary J Blige continues her trend of throwing music into the wind and hoping something sticks. We love Mary but she hasn’t put out a resonating album since What’s The 411 (1992) and My Life (1994).
Since her early, crack-fueled glory days Mary’s music has been mostly hit and miss. It’s clear that she’s one artist who requires a lot of drama in her life to influence her music. Things must really be going well for her at home.
Mary’s latest efforts, “Why” (radio rip) and “Mr. Wrong” also miss the mark completely. Both tracks are off her new album My Life II: The Journey Continues.
“Why” features Rick Ross and “Mr. Wrong”, an updated version of Billy Paul’s 1972 hit “Me and Mrs. Jones”, features rap aficionado Drake. I mean, how can you go wrong with Drake on your track?

O boy!
Ms. Blige looks darn good in that photo!
Good morning.
Cute pic of Mary
I’ve never been a fan of her hollering and being off key.
I do like a few of her songs tho
“while all the time that I was loving you, you were busy lovin yo’self. I would stop breathing if you told me to, now you’re busy loving someone else”
. We love Mary but she hasn’t put out a resonating album since What’s The 411 (1992) and My Life (1994).

——————————————
The only thing I beg to differ is I really FELT Share My World (96?)
Other than that? I have not been paying attention to Mary to be honest. I was into the singles “Be Without U” and “As I Am” on the Breakthrough…but I been offically lost since aroud the “Your Child” and the song that she did that awful song she did that sampled Beanie and the Jets…
I have loved Mary since her 411 days.
I like both of these; the Drake one slightly better.

Hey Fayla la!
That is the gorgeous CNN anchor TJ Holmes…I’ve loved him for many years now…
I’m sorry to say that I have never been a MaryJ fan. All of that moaning and unintelligible gibberish during her drunk singing days, has put me off her for a lifetime. She used to make me depressed.
Hey Cali girl!
Good morning SR peeps
LOVE MJB!!!
:hugs: @caligirl
I’m not feeling the track with Rick Ross, but Mr. Wrong could get some rotation from me…
MJB is a proven solidified artist. I stopped paying attention to much of her work after the ‘Mary’ album though…
Hey Caligirl :hugs:
@ FeFe: I see you have a thing for the Anderson Cooper types
CALI!!
MAMA!!
Beautiful pic of Mary though!
Nice pic of her…I haven’t been feeling Mary since the 90’s
SANDRA!!
That wasn’t nice.
Not really feeling the song with officer Ricky but I like Mr.Wrong
Morning Fe
@Sandra
*closes ears and shouts out LALALLALLLALAL*
He is NOT gay!
Didn’t he date Chilli at one time?!
*goes to change gravie*
I will NOT take this abuse and slander!
yeah share my world was hot too. other than that she’s had hit singles, no hit cds though. people like mary, so she’ll be ok. I just want vintage artists (lets do away with old school, please n thank you) to stay away from adding rappers. go indie mary. you should have more than enough money to do so.
@Yso
@Fe Fe you know Sandra thinks everyone is gay
Don’t mind her…
iHEART!!
(disables your Gravatar account and puts a safety lock on your Google Image search button)
You’re on punishment until further notice little lady.
@21 y did he date chilli again? guys gotta know by now she’s after money. she loves money. her show is a farse – we all know that. what chilli wants is a rich guy. she only claims the relationships she has had with millionaires. other than that, i’m sure it’s a hit it and quit it type arrangement.

I LOVES ME some MJB, but yes I do agree with this statement. Share My World is classic; Mary, No More Drama, Love & Life & Breakthrough were cool and from there, she fell off with urbanites like myself…
Her music is garbage now
I like ‘drugged-out/my man ain’t doing me right’ Mary.
@Mamacita
@Fe, umm didnt he write a book about coming out?? #justaskin
“Since her early, crack-fueled glory days…”
@Yso, So you just gonna send me to the
on my birthday 
I’ll play nice now *humph*

@iheart
That was Don Lemon….totally different anchor….same network…
Wow Sandra, for once I agree with your commentary on Mary J’s albums…this also applies to Janet
I love drakes music, he rarely does wrong. Auntie, can get you some tea on the rumor that Drake wants to leave young money…
Sweet memories of yesterday
When it all seems so right
I was loving you, kissing you, holding you tight
I wish you known that woman, that you learned to leave today
and it’s a shame that you wanna come back now bay-bay
My love is gone away
What’cha gonna do w/o my love, my love
THAT WAS MY JAM!
MORNING, FAM!
I aint never been a stan of an artist but if I was, Mary would be it. But I gotta say that im not feeling anything from this My Life II. If Mary was gonna name it after her BEST cd, she should have made sure it was gonna be hotter than anything shes ever done and im my seeing that so far. And why do these artist always have to throw a rapper that hot today on a track. Get an old school rapper like Heavy D or somebody and bring back the good ole days sometimes. But hopefully the album is better than what I think it will be.

It’s just some kinda thaaanng I’m goin thru
Goin thru, Goin thru
@ iheart –
I dug that album from BEGIN to END! Rode from Ohio to North Carolina replaying that bish ovah & ovah again!
Mary is ALL THAT (and a bag of chips)!!! I can “feel” whatever she’s singing
*ignores Auntie*

Don’t you try MJB like that. You know her album Mary (1999) and The Breakthrough (2005) are classics. And to whoever it was that said The Breakthrough only sold like 500k its first week, it was more like close to 750k, and the album after that did over 600k its first week. You have to give credit where credit due Auntie- after strong consistent 20 years and 65 million records sold, MJB is iconic at this point. 
Since her early, crack-fueled glory days Mary’s music has been mostly hit and miss. It’s clear that she’s one artist who requires a lot of drama in her life to influence her music. Things must really be going well for her at home.

I FUGS WITH MARY HARD, THAT 24/8 ISH IS THE HEAT
MARY AINT NEVA GOING NO WHERE
GETS MY :shank:, :shotsfired:,
CAUSE I RIDE HARD FOR MY GIRL MARY FO SHO!!! LOL, NO SERIOUSLY
*adjust my stan hat*
Mary is the mother flucking Queen! She has released numerous great albums. Share my world (Studio and Live)
Growing Pains
Love and Life
Mary
The only people who can’t appreciate her growth are the miserable people who are still stuck in the rut of not changing, growing or finding love themselves.
#TeamMJB all day.

They airbrushed the hell out of that picture. I don’t think she will ever be able to touch My Life that shyt is timeless.
I think it was 750k the first week but she is far from hit and miss
I saw Mary on the Hammer tour when she first came out. It was her Jodeci and TLC! This woman has come a long way. My Life is my favorite but I will be getting this album! I ride with this chick.
i don’t particularly like this pic, but i’m a die hard mary fan and her last album was definitely not a miss…it was well done. hopefully this one will be too. i can’t wait to hear these two joints when i get off work.
oh and yes…the breakthrough did 750k first week of sales, as she mentions while rapping in busta’s song, “TOUCH IT.”
I like both of these tracks. Mary is on an icon status if she is not already, the chick has staying power whether people sleep on her or not
I have been a fan of Mary’s since she was singin’ hooks on Father MC’s “I’ll Do For You.” I like both songs, but The Rick Ross feature isn’t needed. Just because an artist is hot, doesn’t mean you need to have them on your song. Her worst album for me was that “Love + Life album that was mostly produced by Diddy. Pain does inspire the best in some artists, but as consumers we need to applaude when folks get out of destructive situations.
