[MARY ON MISSING OUT ON THE 'UMBRELLA' HIT] "I'm not going to chase what [mainstream] fans like. It might work for a Mariah. It might work for a Beyonce. But Mary J. Blige is looked at as some sort of organic."

this is some kind of subliminal slight. i think she does regret not taking it cause she's always talking about it and trying to prove she's not

If Umbrella was Mary's first single for Growing Pains, she'd probably sell even more in the first week than with The Breakthrough. I wish she would do a cover version and show us what she'd do with the song.

I really cant imagine her singing the Ella Ella Eh Eh

What a BITCH! "For a Mariah"? Who da hell she thinks she is?

If she cover Umbrella it would be a disaster her voice is so good but not for Umbrella.

when an artist starts talking bout her-/himself in third person, you know something is ****ed up

True!!

Mary, please do us a favor, shut the **** up and die. Thank you.

is Mary asking for attention?

Mary J. Blige still ***** all over Foreheadnna anyday, anyway.

Mary...:tool:

She's lost inside.

U guys need to STFU. You're all a bunch of stupids.
Mary J Blige >>>>>>>>>>>> Huge forehead with legs

I've never seen her talking about Umbrella in my life. And if so what do you care. She doesn't need attention, she sells millions with every single album she releases. You think Mary needed Umbrella?? LMAO

Look at this!!!!

Do i need to say more?.

Well You Know What... She Can Stop Tryin 2 Get Attention! Shes Getting Annoying! Ok U Rejected The Song Get Over It! It Wouldnt Even Be As Big As A Hit If She Sang It! Its Rihanna's Now So Get Over It!

To be fair enough, Liyoh, Mary J. Blige simply CAN NOT talk about someone like MARIAH CAREY (not even mentioning Beyoncé) the way she did.

LOL
All she's saying is that Mainstream works for them, and it's true!
Both Mariah and Beyonce do pop music and it works for them. They seek that audience. Mary in the other hand doesn't, that's why she doesn't have many hits. And her hit songs are mostly R&B.

No, she's saying she thinks she's better than both. I mean, "A Mariah"? "A Beyoncé"? So bitter. Mary is far from being as successful as Mariah is.

Actually Mariah is way more succesful

I didn't get it as an insulting comment, but maybe it's just me.

STOP FLAMING MARY!!!

She has so much talent and she seems like a nice person. She was saying that Beyonce and Mariah like to choose records that appeal to the mass market, but she isn't as concerned with that; she just wants to sing what feels naturally for her, and that song didn't do that.
