    Hypocrite, ‘two-faced’, devious and misandrist; how she can “sing outta both sides of HER mouth” – I’ll never understand!

  2. X,Y,”and Z” February 15, 2010

    Didn’t this chick PUBLICLY scold Chris Brown? Yes!
    Didn’t this chick sing a song – “Stronger” – co-written by Chris Brown? Yes!
    Wasn’t it CBreezy who was singing in the background of said “Stronger” song? Yes!
    Didn’t this chick REFUSE to have CBreezy in said “Stronger” video, opting-out, instead to use Drake? Yes!
    Didn’t we ALL see, at HER CD-release-party, Mary J. Blige raise-HER-hand and STRIKE her husband Kendu? Yes, absolutely!

    So Mary, ‘sista-girl’, how do YOU like your humble-pie served?

    In a ‘most-peculiar and perplexing-way’, her very hypocritical-actions; Elin Wood’s ‘golf-club-wielding-assault’ on Tiger, and Charlie Sheen’s knife-wielding-assault on/of HIS wife, are the “best-things” to happen to CBreezy! Said transgressions has “warped-time” and pushed “Feb 8th Chrianna” well-past the 12-months since IT’S occurrence!
    Mary J. Blige is STILL, well-on-her-way, to Platinum-status. It is time we, ESPECIALLY US, put-aside the ‘hypocritical-hysteria of the mainstream’ and judge OURSELVES on OUR OWN merit!

    As you were……

  6. X,Y,”and Z” February 15, 2010

    @12345 – I, my-ego and the Universe thanks you for your input; now kindly mind-your-manners and proceed – in an ‘orderly-fashion’ – out the room! …I hear they’re missing a ‘fanatic-or-two’ over at rhiannadaily.com – I’m sure your ‘jumbled-logic’ will be of great appreciation amongst the cacophony, shrill and recalcitrant-chatter of said “cyber-badlands!”

  9. Ben February 15, 2010

    Good performances, but it is time for a new single Mary, “I Am,” is getting old.

  10. Nikki February 16, 2010

    Great performances….

  11. anonymo February 16, 2010

    Why does everything she sings and talks about have to be about her and her struggle? It’s getting boring. Also, she just collaborates with anyone now just to be relevant which gives a desperate impression. I miss her 90s style music, bring it back!.

  12. Dre February 16, 2010

  13. Dre February 16, 2010

  14. Be BETTER not “Bitter!” February 16, 2010

    X, Y and , Z Pleas SHUT the HELL UP!!!!!!!!!!!!

    1st Mary J. Blige did not publicly scold this man and she actually was one of the few ppl who Publicly Spoke in his defense back on 106 & Park.

    As far as the Stronger song that Chris Brown Co-Wrote and lent background vocals that was Done AFTER the Incident when most Artists including his longtime Collaborators would not work with Mary J. Blige did!!!

    In addition Drake was in the video for her single “The One” and on the single not the Stronger video, that song was used for the Sound-Track to Lebron James Movie.

    As far as the slap which from the video was definitely MINIMAL where as we ALL have seen the Damage that Chris Brown did to RiRi in the TMZ photo seen round the world which he admitted was real and not Photo-shopped on Larry King so please don’t even go there.

    In addition they are married and there dispute was in regards to an altercation that her husband had with her brother (YOU KNOW HER BLOOD) at the club Intensified due to Alcohol not because of Infidelity like Chris and RiRi and they resolved it the same evening and left together as well. So stay out of GROWN MARRIED FOLKS Business kid!!!

    Please get your facts straight because Mary J. Blige is the REALIST in the game, a true artist and example for younger artists of how you can overcome adversity and maintain your career!

  15. Nikki February 16, 2010

    Thank u @BE BETTER NOT “BITTER!” for clearing that up for some people…

  16. X,Y,”and Z” February 16, 2010

    @Be Better, NOT Bitter — Can you please post the link to MJB supporting, if not ‘tolerating’ CB, on 106 and Park? I watched it and, if it was the same episode that you and I watched, I heard – NOT A WORD – referring to, by name, neither he – nor Ester Dean; but as I’ve asked, please, can you post the link?

    …And since we’re “keeping-it-real” we’ve YET to see the “damage” Rihanna did to Chris; even that Cell Phone Warrant – which is NOT her statement to the LAPD – did say that SHE “scratched-at” and “gouged-at-and-injured about the area of HIS EYE!” To ‘further the theme-of’ “keeping-it-real” : in her REAL statement to the LAPD, the one that she actually signed, she admitted to being the “Aggressor and Instigator” after becoming enraged after reading that “booty-call-text-message,” sent from a woman, CB had a “previous-relationship-with!”

    …You too, not-unlike America’s-mainstream, suffers from the withdrawal-symptoms of the “Feb 8th Chrianna” Hysteria that rendered America in a hyper-state-of-anxiety, confusion and belligerence! If Rihanna attacked CB WHILE HE WAS DRIVING, and he THEN, as some reported, pushed her face into the dash-board of the vehicle – results now obvious in that now infamous picture; was he wrong – If her attacks resulted in him loosing control of said vehicle? To put it another way: “She attacks; hitting HIM upside the head with HIS Cell Phone”; he almost looses control of the vehicle: HIT HER (in an attempt to, get her to stop, and to THEN, regain control of the vehicle), OR CRASH!

    And IF the State of California “believed” Rihanna – as far as, what THAT picture implied – he’d have been charged with Assault AND BATTERY! …NOT ONLY – the Intent to do bodily harm: “Assault”; but ALSO “Battery”: Actually ‘Putting Your Hands’ – on the victim and HURTING them!

    So please, I BEG YOUR PARDON, if you’re gonna “run-s***-down-to-me”; please! YOU get YOUR facts right!”

    Now, if Mary was “as-real,” as you’re obviously making HER out to be; if Mary “had Chris’ back,” as you’re now implying, and if Mary was as compassionate as the “sum-of-her-experiences” you-now-relate-to-us; should NOW-THEN dictate, please explain: “WHAT YOU GONNA DO, “CHRIS-BROWN” ME?
    …Said came from “CAMP-MJB”, she HAD to have given, at-the-very-least, tacit approval, for said statement to be released! http://wadvpress.org/?p=473 http://www.nypost.com/p/pagesix/blige_hauls_off_on_husband_o32W7IKFja08UXzRipJiHI

    …But you said “so please don’t even go there” — I beg of you: YES, LET’S PLEASE GO THERE! I have my ‘mountains-of-evidence’ provided by/from Rihanna’s biggest-supporters, and CB’s biggest haters/detractors: TMZ!

    …And in closing, if you’re unwilling to debate “the-facts” in a lucid and ‘sober-manner’, sans hyperbole, hysteria and ‘name-calling’; then it’s you who should “SHUT THE F*** UP!!”
    …You’re dismissed ’till further time…
