I agree gfe.. the popularity of this woman is mind boggling..LOL. I've said it before..her popularity has to be based on her hip-hop style.and her very publicized "hard life"Her voice has no melodyand will make a bad headache become a migraineand God forbid she attempts to hit a high note. Her voice is average at bestreminds me of a lady in church with the so/so voice who gets up to lead a songscreams and hollas off pitchbut for some reasonpeople think she can sing. MERCY!!!..But it seems to work for herjust goes to show how out of touch with real music and talent people are. But many artists wh5b4o cant sing..have made it big..so those of us that know better..should not be surpised..LOL.

gfe-6 don't worry about it. Half of the people on this board are too young to know about the days when Mary first came out and if they did, they don't listen to or appreciate old music.
Mary CANNOT sing and has a horrible voice. It's sad that people can't tell the difference btw screaming and singing. People are just hopping on the "yeah Mary's the Queen!" bandwagon because of these stupid ass rappers who gave her the title "Queen of R&B". The ONLY reason why she recieved icon status is because she has been out for so many years. When she first came out back in 1992, people did not like her because of her voice, it was because of the beats on her songs. She does not write any of her songs and half of them were samples. Mostly all her hits back then were remakes. Her first three albums were filled with samples and remakes but hey that's what you get when you work with Puffy who is the king of sampling.

All samples and remakesa damn shame she still considered to be talented. -

Really? I Know Mary's voice isn't convential pretty, but I like it. Because it's different. Obviously millions of people agree. I can respect people's opinion when they say why they don't like her. But, the guy who said she should've died and called her a rat. Seriously? Didn't your parents teach you anything. It's called tact people! Come on, have some class.

The reason why Mary J is a superstar is because unlike 99.9% of singers out there, she puts raw untamed emotions into her music especialy her live performance. She makes you feel every word of the song.
She also has a 4 octave vocal range (more than whitney) so I don't know how you can say she is a bad or even mediocre singer. She has one of the best vocals of all mainstream artists! She is also a great performer.
make me sick.
