Every thing about mary is her life
All her songs are always are;
my life, my struggle, my truth, my breakthrough, my strength , my fight
Its tiring.
Mary ur life isnt that bad.
B****. $$$$$ don’t solve all problems…it is the root of evil… Just because she’s Mary j Blige doesn’t mean that it’s peachy, look at solonge and Jay-Z fist fighting…..Mary always not a problem with simply just telling us who she sleeping with…..damn
Girl, stay mad cuz nobody will be talking about camiltoe cabbage 25 years from now.
Mary STAYS booked and busy. Almost 30 years later and she remains consistent and successful in several avenues. She always preservers in the face of adversity.
This is going to be so good for Mary. I believe The Industry needs, who really is Mary….but we love MJB SO we not going to dig too deep…….. like with Mariah how fake she is….a drug addict multiple men divorce her.. why ….
Whitney Houston was so real the only artist to tell the truth …
What? Mary has been an open book her entire career. What more do you expect from her
A documentary I’m looking forward too. Other Veteran artist even in their 30s should release documentaries too. It will help them sell their music and connect more with the people. Good for Mary… its exciting because she hasn’t done one and released one over and over again… less is more!
How can you guys compare bionic to any lady Gaga’s albums. Sorry to bust your bubble this album was way ahead of its time compared to Gaga’s. Bionic had the hate train still does cause everyone of these comments were and still on the bionic hate train. I’m sure if Perez and you guys wanna bashed xtina for a comment not knowing if she was a man or women please. That’s where Perez used it against her and it started.
Can’t wait to see
