Mary j blige is the best rnb Singer today her new album is better then any rnb LP out male or female. U ppl need to realize that Mary is music royalty all the ppl that came out in era didn't last such as Toni braxton tlc xscape even Whitney Houston and envogue they all faded Mary is all we have left so show some respect for her she really is the living proof all hail the queen she definitely has a purpose in music.
