I find the whole international launching to be a bit odd and ill-timed. She's doing well here but she isn't exactly at the peak of her career right now. Would have made more sense to have tried it a few years ago.

She is more of a international brand now than she was a few years ago. So it makes sense.

"Each Tear" with Jay Sean leaked , imho their duet version is the best of the duets, there voices just blend alot better compared to the other singers. they could honestly release this version in the U.S. and it would probably do well.
hear it here
.
i also heard they are shooting another video for this version

Right about now...Mary J. Blige's music represents every black woman in America who can't pick a good man, but loves them with all their heart. I'm not feeling all this happy-go-lucky bullshit, my life is perfect music. In my opinion, Mary made her best music when she was strung out, lonely and depressed. She should get back to smoking crack so she can make some REAL music.
Mary is like the R&B Jesus, sent here to suffer so that we may dance.

Says the Nick BLAH and OFFKeyshia Cole fan, QUEEN she is NOT for you. She is for that rich white woman u working for at MCDonalds, she is for that school college graduate you envy, she is for the rich and famous, NOT broke males who are into other malesgots who wanna hear about sucking dick and getting fucked, if she sung about that, u FAGGs would do your normal gay shit "Work Mary", QUEEN this is what it's going to be, deal with it, she is NOT stuck in the past like you broke males who are into other malesgots. LOL @ this QUEEN being a fan of Nick Blah commneting on REAL MUSIC, QUEEN die off like Nicki's non-existent career.

And who cares what she can hit, she sounds a f**king mess doing it. There's wildlife out there that couldn't hit those notes. She has NO perception of pitch, and is 9 times outta 10 all over the place. I didn't come in here to start hating, but I can't stand when Mary starts screaming, trying to show off her "vocals"...sounding like a howling banshee on her period. But don't take my word for it. Youtube don't lie, UGLY. How many videos are there dedicated to her horrendous vocals? OH OK.

Kinda like those notes you were referring to. Why must people show their low class status.

"I Can't Wait" was the only one I could make it through, and I don't even like it. But I guess these songs are more for the international market anyway.

i like them because their different and these songs actually seem to fit her voice i just think most of her U.S. fan-base only listens to urban music and would probably think these songs were a mess, but i honestly hope they re-release in the U.S. too

I love "Good Love". That could be a spring-summer urban smash.

why are they trying to launch her old a$$ 20 years into her career in the UK? its just so random. maybe if she was 25 it would be a little bit better. its like trying to sell someone expired milk WAY past its date. umm....no!

Mary really needs to take a break. It seems that she's worn-out creatively.

Mary isn't really international. Her album will probably not even make top 20 in the UK this week. More like top 30 even with her promo events last week.
Right now, female r&b singers who are big in the Uk, it's:
Rihanna Alicia Keys Whitney Houston
Those 3 have done well- Whitney- #3 album, sales over 225k for I Look to YOu and The Ultimate Collection-Greatest Hits seeing a resurgence and #39 this week with total sales of 740k close to a 3xp cert there. Million Dollar Bill Single #5- 1 promo appearance
A Keys- #1 album and top 5 hit single
Rihanna- Top 6 album RR and a couple of top 10 hits.
I can't think of any other US r&b/pop singer who is doing as well in the UK as these 3.
Monica and Toni Braxton are set to have their albums released there but they won't have an impact.

OK? That's the reason why she's doing the international release, so she can build up her profile over there.
