Mary J Blige - Growing Pains

Who's gonna go out and get the album on Tuesday? I know I am!

Check out the video for Just Fine here. It's really catchy and I can't get enough of it!

I like the single for the album. Oh, god, I had no choice since my roommate played this song every chance she got to play. Honestly, I'm not feeling this album nor for the last album she had released. The Breakthrough was AWESOME! I luved every track but her last two albums weren't doing for me. So, no I'm not really interested...maybe when she releases another single than I'll reconsider. That one song isn't proof enough that this album will be good.

The Breakthrough was her last album. Reflections was a greatest hits compilation :\

I downloaded the new album though and it's okay. I'm not really that impressed, but I like Work That. Then again, I've never really like more than a few songs by Mary anyways. Just the singles are what I tend to like from her.

Yeah! The same goes for me. The Breakthrough was the first album by her that I really sat and listened to all the way through.

Oh, thanks Bond! I knew that Reflection was a BEST album or whatever but the songs that were on there weren't that gread IMO plus I didn't like the lead single for the BEST album. I don't that this album will be to good either. That' what I was trying to get across my last post.

The Breakthrough is a really nice album. I'm gonna give Growing Pains a listen too, although the tracklist sounds so produced, it's annoying. x_x

I'm probably going to download the album just to check it out.

I personally feel Mary J Blige is a bit overrated, there are better singers out there who'd be more deserving imo.
"Be Without You" was such a lame attempt to mooch off the success of Mariah's "We Belong Together" , the producer B.Cox admitted himself that MJB's people asked him to do a song similar like "We Belong Together" for Mary too. it worked tho lol

such as Faith Evans , Faithful >>> The Breakthrough

Finally a happy MJB song.
The Breakthrough seriously made me hate her, I was so sick of it. ugh.
Just Fine is a good song and it's nice to see her dancing, it's so cute.
And her hair, gotta love it. She can pull off that blonde hair so well.

At first I did like "Just Fine" but then my roommate constantly listened to it and she made me not like the song. It gets annoying after listening to it over and over again.

@Halla: I feel the opposite. Even though she did terrific with The Breakthrough, I still people ignore her. When people think of MJB, they think of her voice and nothing else. Although I did like Be Without You, We Belong Together was way better. Mariah is so overrated and her freak perfume CM is f-king annoying. Someone make that chich stup up! Ugh!

Its not been released in the UK (well as a US import) and it costs a bomb!!!

I'll wait for the price to drop!
