I know everyone is tired of these comparison type threads...but since it's pretty dead in here and I'm tired of people thinking she can even be compared
to him I thought I'd post this!! What do U guys think can she hang??

no. she doesn't have the stage presence or the vocal control (live, anyway) that prince has. i think they'd do a great performance or recording together, but he's definitely the stronger presence.

I agree!!!But some people thinks she's the best thing since sliced bread!!

Shes pretty strong and still growing. But ofcourse she's NO comparison to Prince.

She has stans and they said she shits all over Prince when it comes to his and her accomplishments, and they said know one is checking for him anymore!! I almost fell out my chair laughing at them!!!

i dont have issue with comparison threads but what do these two have in common besides their race that would make folks want to compare against in the first place?

Um...Mary J. Blige CANNOT be compared to Prince. Please stop this.

Comparing Mary to Prince is like comparing Mickey Rorke to Oscar De La Jolla. Sure, Mickey's a fighter and a survivor, but Oscar would beat his ass!

It's like comparing Andre's (from Outkast) acting to Denzel Washington. Just plain silly.

Or Jan Brady to Marsha! No comparison!

NO comparison whatsoever. That's like "Shit Hop vs. Funk". That bitch ain't shit.

vainandy said:

I like Mary (sometimes) but the comparison is just plain silly.

and comeone approve :bitchslap: to this comparison pleeeeeaaase!

'dre

I think Mary and Prince would be like fire on stage, both with their power gospel voices. That would definately blow the roof off the place.

From the Song "Y Should Eye Do That, When Eye Can Do This?", from the NPGMC sessions:

Ask Mary J. about Chaka,
"Mary, is Chaka on the radio?" (NO!)
See, you gotta save your own
In the end, it ain't about the dollars
But the seeds you've sewn.

That should clear things up.
