: If you thought that things couldn't get much worse for R&B artist Mary J Blige - you'd be wrong. MediaTakeOut.com has learned that Mary's team is looking to push back her album release date again - from December 11th to December 18th. This would make the 4th delay of her new album Growing Pains.
But that's not the worst part. We spoke with a person at one of the nation's largest retailers - and they had no idea about the latest change. The insider told us, "There's absolutely no communication ... It seems like if we want to know when Mary's album is being released we have to go to MediaTakeOut.com."
Mary fans - y'all better speak up. 'Cause this here is shaping up to be a colossal disaster...
Why yall on Mary's ass so hard damn Mariah was pushed back to 08 and nobody said anything. If Mary's album was pushed back is she the only artist who was pushed back in history???? Chris Brows was pushed back many times and nobody said a damn thing.. Do you ever think that Mary is making sure she doesn't have a Love & Life again. She is probably in the studio with some tricks up her sleeve and when it debuts it will be well worth it....
Its funny how Mediatakeout thinks that they have all the exclusives. I'm still waiting to see the baby bump that yall reported about Mary 4 months ago... If yall dont already know people Mediatakeout aint always right... I'll believe the release date from a credible source until then its still December 11th 20007
What does Beyonce' being on TV have to do with Mary releasing an album? CTFU
Is Beyonce so powerful that nobody will leave their HOMES on the day she has a special for fear they will get stranded and miss it?
Michael Jackson is the only person who was ever able to do that.. and Be' has a LONG way to go to get THERE.
She's loud, obnoxious, knows your business, fukk with her and she'll TELL your business and then cuss yo azz out... she's Miss Pearl

Beyonce if yall recall aint d0 The Breakthorugh numbers.. Mary went 3 Million without a re release and Bee released every damn single off her album as a video and only sold 2.9 million .. 1 more thing Beyonce aint see those 730,000 first week sales like Mary and Be Without U broke records 15 weeks at # 1 so why in the hell would Mary be scared of her ass????
First of all, Mary is an A-list artist if the album is pushed back trust the date will be efficiently promoted, just as with "Breakthrough" there were date issues, but it still came out on top, 730,000 copies on top!! And because she has die hard fans it will sell. SHES KNOWN FOR SELLING ALBUMS NOT SINGLES, IT DOSENT MATTER WHAT YA'LL BITCHES THINK ABOUT THE SINGLE.
And why is it that everytime a new "hot" female artist comes out they compare them to Mary! So, I guess she is a artist to be rekoned with. So go Mary [EXPLETIVE] the haters!!

@jalatinomix check your facts cause you kinda off. B'day sold 7 million while Mary's CD has sold about 3 million, the re release only sold about 500,000, it aint where you start, it's where you finish. And Mary was #1 on the R&B charts only #2 on the hot 100 where Bey was #1. And she didnt break records for 1st week sales. I doubt that Mary can do that again cause her single now aint as good as last time.
A return to Mary's prime, the leadoff single "Be Without You" quickly raced up both the R&B and pop singles charts; "Be Without You" topped the R&B singles chart for a record-setting 15 consecutive weeks. The song, however was criticized by Slant Magazine for sounding like a "rip-off" of Mariah Carey's "We Belong Together," a #1 hit earlier that year. Both songs' co-writer, Johnta Austin, told Billboard that he was called personally by record executive Jimmy Iovine to craft a hit "in the same lane of 'We Belong Together'" for Mary J. Blige. Author Sal Cinquemani wrote, "there wouldn't be "'Be Without You'... without "We Belong Together." [1] [2] [3]
Didnt make this up.

But can sll plz stop throin her name in evry damn stoty about anotha singa and plz stop comparin Mary with those inexperienced chicks!
BklynRogue u really need to calm down b/c it's not that serious. Mary don't know or care about you so why do u care about her so much. Wow. And just b/c u don't care about Bey's special that's fine b/c she has millions of fans who do care so get over it.
Beyonce ain't worried about Mary. And Mary ain't worried about Beyonce. They are both more talented than most these chicks that's out now so let them be on top together instead of trying to bring one or the other down all the time.
I love Bey and Mary they are the best two in the game. Well, and Alicia and Mariah too. Everybody else forget about it not even close to these four.
I am sorry I was a keysia cole fan but not anymore. This new album has nothing on the first one. I don't even think it is that good. I am so sick of mediatakeout and Beyonce. Is Fred getting paid by Matthew to keep promoting Be. Tell her to go sit her ass down somewhere and go make babies with the camel. Well now that Free is signed to the rock Bey is not worrying about music. For her to be the baddest as all u Bey fanatics say she is like any other women insecure when it comes to camel. It seems like he loves drinking water from different streams. LOL
its all goodie cuz i just copped Keyshia's album & tha sh*t is off tha hook. Marys album can come out in 2012 & im not tripping. she still singing about the same shyt anyway...just heard her song on the radio & she still talking about how she's changed & how different she is & she's left the past behind. umm...i thought you did that like 3 albums ago? upgrade to some new shyt mary & sing about something else.
mary is ahead of her time once again believe it or not im in the music industry and her new single is where music is headed to you soon will see the drastic change in music and mary is already on it where as keisha is singing off samples that so many people have done already mary has been their and done that its funny to see so many people talk about stuff they dont know
just fine is a 'just' a garbage single. its a forgettable track, with no strong base behind it, it sounds like somebody made her go in the booth and record it, sounds real forced. jazze pha is a mediocre producer. all of his tracks sound alike. and 'fine' is no exception. shes gone with what people (ciara, lloyd), were already doin, except for leadin out on her own. thats another reason why the song is trash. breakthrough was released on 12/20/05 the same time as this album about to be released. they pushed back the album because they are unsure if just fine will perform as well as they expect it to. they wanna drop the album with a HIT single, not a flop.
somad go sit your hateing ass down somewhere while beyonce continues to be on top. She's the best so of course she is going to be talked about the most. She is number one on all the blogs. It's been 10 years and she keeps becoming more and more successful so cry your hateing ass to sleep on that shyt.
Anyway good luck to Mary. She never dissappoints so this album should be good.
@ Nidraw
"The Breathrough" was #1 on R&B and Pop albums charts. Yes 730,000 was the most Mary has sold in a week, but 500,000 is the most Bey has sold in a week so is it right for us to say they will neither do these numbers again. And there was a big hype over Bey's last album and it failed to deliver, (I mean come on, a video for each single on the album, thats promotion out the ass!!lol..), sales dropped because it was not on the same level as her last. As a fan of both females, I can honestly say Breakthrough was Mary 's best album to date, My Life was great but it was a dark album. Bey's "B-Day" had nothing on "Dangerously in love."
Just to state facts, Bey has "not" sold 7 million albums in the states (no one has recently) that is worldwide sales, and Mary has sold the same amount (7mil) as well but worldwide, you can google her and get all this information. "Be without you" had a new sound for Mary that is why it was well received her producers now, know how to express her, needless to say she has out-grown puffy. These both are the best females in the game right now. Hands down. But they do not compete with each other. Mary J is not in direct competition with no one, cause she does not take her clothes off, she does not do choreographed routines, she does not sing "drop it like its hott" songs, shes just an edgy ass female, any female like her will probably fizzle after 3 albums max, as usual, and I dont need to name any names!
