Get it right, people tag her as the Queen of HIP HOP SOUL - there's a difference...

There's also a power & a passion in her voice that some of y'all are sleeping on. She's not 100% hitting all the time, but she's got something...

i agree, i think she sings with conviction, some singers just seem to be going through the motions but mary appears to give her all.

Well It looks like tha last day of the Celebraatn will be June 27th and Guess whose birthday that is !!!! My own private concert just for mere hehehe

!

Why ??

So tell me, where do you hide your Lovesexy album?

Mary is a good studio singer, but when she doesn't have 30 takes to hit that note...she cracks and sounds not so good (Im being nice here)

OFF TOPIC, but I wanted to ask the org community if anybody was familiar with the Prince song "I'll never be another fool." In the first line of the song I swear Prince says "I'll never open my legs again to a man whose insecure." No I don't care if Prince is gay but I've never seen this particular song referenced. Interestingly, I read earlier under FAQ about Prince on the new format here that there has never been an explicit or direct reference to homosexuality in his songs...which I would agree with. I had never heard the song until tonight and could certainly share it with anyone who is interested. Tight song BTW.

never heard of that song or lyric, but I'd imagine it's written for a woman.

I know it's possible (Queer as Folk is SO informative!) but the arse is still a bit hidden when opening one's legs. Seeing that P lacks a vagina, I'd say this is definitely written for a woman (if it's even true).

P ain't bending over. his lovely ass is to be stroked, fondled & worshipped - not reamed. rimmed maybe, but that's another story...

I,SAW MARY J'S SHOW HERE IN D.C. AND IT WAS FANTASTIC!!! MUCH BETTER THAN ANY PERFORMANCE I'VE
SEEN OF HER ON T.V.!! I WAS SETTING WITH A WRITER DOING A REVIEW OF THE SHOW SHE WAS ALSO
PLEASENTLY SURPRISED!! MARY STAYED WELL WITHIN HERE VOCAL RANGE AND HAD PLENTY OF ENERGY!
SOMETIMES U JUST DON'T KNOW UNTIL U CHECK THINGS OUT 4 YOURSELF!! ALSO SAW R.E.O. SPEEDWAGON OPEN A SHOW BACK N THE DAY FOR STYX THEY CRAAANNK'D!!! MY FRIENDS WE JUST TURN'D
AND LOOKED AT EACH OTHER LIKE WHO? KNEW? BLOWN AWAY!!!

"I'll never be another fool."
It's a CHAKA KHAN song - written for a woman

Because he used to have ghetto hoochie protegés

That should say, ghetto hoochie protegés with marginal talent:?:

Mary J. Blige is a good singer,but so far,none of her songs have "moved me" enough to make me go out and buy her CD.I do like that "Family Affair" jam produced by Dr.Dre.That is the hottest song in the clubs right now.

A singer that y'all should check out is Joi.She has a HOT new song called "Missing You",produced by Dallas Austin.She is GREAT!!!!

Did Prince move to Toronto? why is always there?

DMSR said:

Because that way, we can talk more often.

I didn't know Prince liked Mary J.

Mary's too slick for me, I have a concert trilogy going on here in the Netherlands. Last night it was Jill Scott, the 18th of March it's Angie Stone, and on April 19th it's India.Arie! Who needs Mary if you got them!

Mary is talented and her new video is nice
