"Shakedown" needs to be released. It would be top 10 rhythmic and urban just off star power.

no..no.. Geffen plz don't do this..this is not the rite single choice to keep album sales steady..I thought the fans were voting on the 2nd single on her website..it's clear the fans want,"Grown Woman", C'mon now don't kill the momentum

"Grown Woman" isn't a single. "Hurt Again" will be a hit at Urban AC.

this is starting to become a big mess...Ok, I thoght the fans were voting on the 2nd single then Geffen changes it to," Hurt Again"..but ,"Work That", is being played non-stop on the URBAN stations so why not make ,"Work That" the 2nd single especially if they already filmed the video and the song is starting off really well...

11 11 MARY J. BLIGE Just Fine 2215 2116 99 28.319
19 19 MARY J. BLIGE Work That 1349 1354 -5 12.474
"Work That" certainly didn't do "Just Fine" on the charts!

This song is pleasant enough, but this whole project feels very much like an interim project of sorts. These singles aren't bad, but Mary's singles usually feel like more of an event than this.

Favorite song on the album but I cant see this doing anything more than "Take me as I am."

"Take Me As I Am" was a #3 R&B hit. Ain't nothing wrong with that. If she can pull two of those from this album, following "Just Fine," she'll be doing great.

Sure, but Mary's standards of success were raised after "Be without U" so everything from this project has underperformed in comparison IMO. |

"Take Me As I Am" outperformed most of her 90's singles at R&B. |

yeah, she is not underperforming for herself at all, you can't say that everything is supposed to do like "Be without you" did. i think "Hurt again" will do fine.

lol... people comparing,"Be Without You", with every Mary song is crazy..u can tell they have not been mary fans from the begining..BWU is not mary's best work..the most commercial but not her best work...Mary not tryin to top her last project she is making great soulful music for her fans..."Hurt Again" is alot of fans favorites song on the album but as a single we will see.(alot of people can relate to that song)..I see this album havin longer legs than,"The Breakthrough", b/c they savin all the best singles for later...we still have, "Stay Down","Grown Woman","Shake Down", "Come To Me", so many potentials hits c'mon now..the album is selling consistently every damn week...I Love This Album.Plays it everyday!!!

I would love to see "Roses" and "Smoke" become future singles. I love those tracks.
