MARY J BLIGE PUSHES ALBUM BACK TO AVOID BATTLE WITH BEYONCE


 







October 10, 2007. When Mary pushed the release date for her new album Growing Pains from November 20th to November 27th, she expected to be the only R&B artist debuting a new album that week. But a few days after Mary's decision, Beyonce announced she'd be releasing a live album and a dvd on that same very same date.

And the threat of going up against Beyonce was too much for Mary and her label. As of this morning, Mary J Blige has officially pushed back her album release two weeks - from November 27th to December 11th.

According to an insider over at Mary's label, everyone there is furious. MediaTakeOut.com exclusively learned that pushing forward Mary's release date is costing Geffen Records million of dollars. A Geffen exec told us, "[Beyonce's management] put her release against Mary's just so they could get the added publicity - but we're not playing into their game ... Best of luck to [Beyonce]."

    Mary is grown and doesnt have time for the "Music Wars". Just because her album is pushed back or forward to not be release on the same day as another artist doesnt make her any less of an artist or any good. Mary is doing Mary and doesnt feel the need to compete and I agree. Mary already told yall.....NO MORE DRAMA IN HER

Beyonce sold nearly a mil in her first week alone and is well over tripple platinum now. Now although marys last album garnered plenty success. B'Day's numbers [EXPLETIVE] on the breakthru.

    P.S. LMAO @ the ones who actually believed mary could even outsell Mariah (the best selling female artist of all time) lol trust Im not bashing my gurl mary cause I actually like her but its time to be real folks

    I agree with you lovelione, Beyonce has that cross-over sound, look and appeal that not many artists have. I can relate to B over Mary anyday, but that's me and mine. I do feel like B needs to take a break so she can be missed for a little while.

Blige she supersedes all the rest granted that everyone is not built to face certain obstacles by the way when have you known B to face any real life hard situations? honestly I think under true pressure B would fold up like my lawn chairs. Now Mary she's the person you should invest your money in she's an artist not just a singer but a true artist that has allowed you to get to know the real person that she is no matter what the circumstance regardless if people talked negative about her, her actions, and her life she stayed true to herself and she always give the fans what they want and sometimes don't even expect much accolades to Mary J. Blige so B I'm going to ask you nicely the first time to step aside and go somewhere and find sit down and watch the real artist do her thing. Now say it with me her name is Mary J. Blige a name you will be saying for a very, very, vary, long time.

Shes gonna have a little Joe Camel and get as big as a house and it will be over for her. She is washed up alrady, she cant shuck and jive forever. Shoot B better watch out Alicia Keys, you see her body in that gold dress in her new video and all that hair is hers. Mary has nothing to worry about.

I feel like she has been promoting varitations of this same wack ass album for years, and years, and years, and years, and years.....and years.

    Beyonce take a break for a year, and give people time to miss you. Oh, and find better writers and producers for the next album. You fooled people liking this album because you had some bomb ass promotion.

    Had to log in and comment on this 1st of all on MJB last CD her first single was not Be without you it was that song that had Jay Z on it Can't hide from love and like that single she has out now it wasn't a big seller. Beyonce as much as I love her as an artist is milking the hell out of her fans. She re-released bday twice (one in spanish) released a dvd video now she is trying to get in our pockets again. SIT DOWN B damn, have a baby or something. a letter was released on aol a few weeks back entitled go away Beyonce thought it was just MTO but it isn't http://blackvoices.aol.com/black_entertainment/bvbuzzcanvas/_a/sept-17-2007/20070916125709990001

    Mary has proven that is has staying power. You can still listen to songs Mary did way back in and feel good about it.

    Beyonce is a different matter all together. When her career first started she was a good christian girl and she didn't subscribe to industry standard of sexy. But we all know that sex sells so now its "Shake my body, body. Touch my body, body." Along with little nip slips here and there, for dramatic effect.

    Now imagine that, on wonder her tours do so well! People well pay good money to see a suprised worde malfuction it bound to happen, and again. But she makes it look so classy. Doesn't she?!

    OBVIOUSLY Beyonce is not releasing ANYTHING for your kind (you know the ones that feel she's overrated fat untalented needs to go away). She releases products for my kind (you know the ones that find her talented and WORTH spending money on that have been fans since No No No).

    AND I DEFINITELY DON'T NEED NUNAYA "STANDING UP" FO ME AND MY POCKETS!

    I ain't a big Beyonce fan, but ya'll are trippin if you think Beyonce will be forgotten in 10, 20 years. Whether u like it or not, she's a legend and honestly...she will sing circles around Mary. Mary has sold records based on her image. She is the woman who other women can relate to and feel the pain and blah blah blah. She was built on drama and it skyrocketed.

    Oh yeah and i don't believe this MTO cause like someone else said, Be is not releasing a full album. I don't think Geffen is that scared. And 4 real artists really don't get no say on when their album is coming out and etc...it's tha label.

    Beyonce had to work extra hard to catch up with Mary's records sales this year. That is why she put out all that extra shyt. But all that extra work still didn't hit the numbers Mary did. Now she wants to prove that she can hang with the best of the best i.e. Mary. Can she do it.

    Essencially Mary and her team ain't fallen for a face off. Beyonce has to prove that she can compete with mary.

    Please! Mary has old and new school folks listening to her music, while Beyonce's music is strictly for chicken heads and women with that, "I'll just use my booty to get what I need" mentality. Mary is SO above that. Furthermore, Beyonce is overexposing herself, making it obvious to people that she's a glory hog, just as she was in Destiny's Child. You see how when Jennifer Hudson was on top, Beyonce RE RELEASED her BDay album, and has constantly been in the news, tv, etc., so she can take the shine off Jennifer. BeYATCHe, you CANNOT outshine an Oscar, no matter how much you expose your naked a&& on stage. I'm not a Mary fan, but I rather listen to her over Beyonce any day. Mary's song speaks on everyday dilemma's...trials and tribulations of a black woman's struggle, while Beyonce is too busy composing lyrics about her booty, or how some man wants her body, or even how she has this preconceived notion that all women hate on her. That's typical bubble gum thinking. Only a woman stuck on herself thinks this way. Go Mary!
    BTW, if you wanna talk about dodging....I'm waiting for somebody to ask Beyonce why she never releases anything the same time Alicia Keys does. Probably because AK will kill her in record sales.

    The reason other artists don’t sell as many CD’s is plain and simple….PROMOTION. Shortly before, the day of, and following the release of Beyonce’s CD & video she will be on magazines, EVERY morning, afternoon and nighttime talk show promoting her CD & video. She’ll have a live concert on the Today Show or Good Morning America. BET, MTV and VHI will show interviews, her movies, videos, live performances, her Diary, Behind The Music. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this, she’s signed with a label or management team who are doing there job. ANYONE could break #1 with all that promotion, ANYONE.

    Lies. Mary has no fear.Beyonce is not even in her category. Beyonce doesn't have any real talent. In order to be a real singer, you have to be able to stand in one spot and sing. No azz shaking, no legs out, no hair flying, just sing. Mary can do that. Mary has her own category and she been holding it tight for years. Beyonce is hardly a threat to her. In a few years Beyonce will have to step out and supply some real entertainment, and what will she do then, I don't see her acheiving any longevity in the hip hop genre. It's time for her to change, question is will she be able to?

    well I grew up with Mary music when she first came out and she could not to save her own life sing in person. I've been to several concerts back in the early 90's and people walked out on her performing. The studio can only do so much to make you sound good when it comes to selling albums, but if you can't perform in person then people will see as they can't sing. As the years went and came she has gotten better. I've heard Mary perform a couple times on TV live and she should have sat down because it still to me sound bad. Beyonce can sing with or without the studio. I've heard that sister in concert also and it is night and day between her and Mary. And her concerts was pack out to the max. Beyonce performs better than Mary any day. If they have a contest I believe Beyonce would win. I've never heard Beyonce crack when performing but Mary oh my God is all I have to say. It's like who told her she can sing at times,some of her performes was good. Yes Mary been in the game the longest and you do have people who like Mary and people who like Beyonce. I would buy Mary album because studio helps her out a lot but I wouldn't want to see her in concert. Beyonce I'll buy her album and go see her in concert.

    Lets be real people...Beyone will stomp Mary into the ground. Mary is okat but is not a total performer like Beyonce. I wouldn't buy Mary's album over Beyonce on any day.

    Mary has nothing to worry about. Beyonce should take a lesson from 50; overexposure is not always a good thing. She has hit her peak. Don't hate let her continue to release albums and give bad acting performance she will sell less and less as people grow tired of seeing her. The second solo album did not do as well as her first because she is releasing albums back to back and to fast. The second album was decent wasn't her best work but it seemed rushed because she was blocking the other KICKED OUT DC members shine. All stars burn out... and I like her music but I am tired of hearing her voice. Beyonce came up at the expense of J-Los & B-spears overexposure..so now it is time for someone new because whatever powers that are just shoving her down our throats. They don't even give us the opportunity to miss her. So I just turn her off when she comes on the radio and I have retired her albums from the ipod. Shes played out and not that interesting of an artist anymore. Keisha Coles album is good and shes been consistent so far. Mary J Blige never has been overexposed and she has been consistent. Marys publicity has been putting out good quality albums and not being in our face too much.

    I say the closer the release date is to Christmas, the higher the sales will be b/c it'll make a great Christmas gift!!

    And even though Mary has been out longer and has a huge following, I'm sure Beyonce's is just as big, if not bigger. I personally prefer Mary over Beyonce anyday...but Beyonce has a huge crossover following and is more popular at the moment. Not to mention that I'm sure a lot of the younger generation (18 and below) are more of Beyonce fans who will ask their parents to get them her album before they even think about Mary. Afterall, the younger generation will spend money likes it nothing before the older generation will...lol
     

    QueenME209615
    If this is true...Mary didn't push her album back because of Competition because there is NONE! Mary being the Queen that she is may just be allowing Bey to have her moment cause lawd knows A LOT OF FOLKS are TIRED of Bey!!! I dont care what Daddy Knowles does to block everyone else and get his daughter out there.....Just like her Beys Make up- - You can over do it !!!! Bey will never be in the same category as MARY..Mary has always been a Solo act and she became the Queen by herself....So keep doing ya thing Mary!! We love you!!!

    I don't believe that for a second. Love or hate Mary J. Blige, she is a legend and one of a kind. She would have no reason to fear going up against Beyonce because her career is at its pinnacle once again. Although she is a good artist also, Beyonce is still a youngblood and has yet to reach the status with the level of respect Mary has. Besides, they are two TOTALLY different artists, and their fans probably differ too. Mary, you got this!!

    LETS SEE HOW FAR SHE"LL GO WITH THAT WACK ASS SONG! I LOVE MJB BUT THAT IS HER WORSE SINGLE EVER!!!

    Was There Any REASONABLE DOUBT

    Prettygurl06_01
    Puh-lease. When it comes between Mary J. and Beyonce we all know who takes the cake. Beyonce's music is in syle at the moment. Mary's music is timeless. You can listen to it years later and still say "This is my song." You can listen to Mary's music and say that she really out did herself. Only few artists have this gift and unfortunately Beyonce is NOT one of them. To be honest few artists these days have got that type of talent. They usually only stick around for a few years;Atleast until the people get tired of hearing and seeing them.
    Besides Beyonce had a good year last year and it was pretty ok this year. I want to see how it looks at the end of this year and next year
    ...Just wondering.

    I dont believe th first because why does she need a fake beef with mary. She can sell a million records without a fake beef.

    Victorygurl
    Awwww Poor Mary fans yall feel bad for her because her only checks are from her music and it aint gonna be much if someone like Beyonce is out.

    DONT GET IT TWISTED yall wouldnt be mad if it was AMERIE, KELLY ROWLAND, Jennifer Hudson, Monica, Brandy, or Letoya Luckett but the FACT that its BEYONCE makes u upset that she actually has to back offf even though she was in the game for a long A$$ time. It hurts ur spirit I can tell.

    Black people like to root for the underdog because we are usually the under dog but Its CRAZY that Mary is still on that level or at least she apparently when it comes to someone like Beyonce. If it wasnt a threat u wouldnt care or u wouldnt even believe this story but u kno the BEYONCE KNOWELS Franchise is a MONSTER!!!

    Mary needs someone to write her a song again so it can be a hit like BE WITHOUT YOU

    P.S Mary couldnt even come out when the same day as Ciara probaly
     

    dondi
    Okay...for all ya'll saying that B would kill Mary...come on now...Mary J has been around for a minute...she's a veteran in the game...her demogrphic is a bit different that B's too...B is hot right now...but she has a looonnng way to go to be on Mary's status...Mary is about the only on still winning grammys and even still around from her peers that came out in the early 90's!! B is hot but she has a totally different sound...and besides how many ways can they milk this latest album that isn't as good as the Dangeroulsy In Love albm anyway...I'm glad the charts were posted to let the B fans know that Mary is already doing better
     

    Nataine
    Doubt it!!! Mary said it best, "730,000 first week of my sales!!!" Beyonce has NEVER reached 600,000 first week of her sales. Other than Mary, Alicia Keys (Diary of Alicia Keys album) is the only female R&B artist to hit the 600,000 mark for first week sales. Mary ain't worried, ain't childish and competitve and ain't threatened by Beyonce. No one buys Beyonce's albums other than kids and adults who aren't Black. Mary has the ENTIRE BLACK COMMUNITY. That was insecure and competitve IF Beyonce really tried to get her album released on the same day. What is she trying to prove? Is attempting to beat Mary her latest goal? She would have been disgustingly disappointed. Let's stayed tuned.

    And Dondi, I couldn't have said it better babe.

    When I'm goin through I put on Mary but when Im tired of goin through I put on Beyonce. Artist have their Niche and that doesnt make them any less of Artist.


    However listening to a Destiny's Child CD I can get both and more and we all know who is singing for them.

    So I feel like Beyonce is more Versatile and this next CD will be something different just like her last.

    Just because Beyonce has a Perfect life doesnt mean she wont be able to Deliver those songs about love, hate, sex, depression, excitement, break ups, make ups, etc.

    She's only her her second LP but she will bring it all BEFORE she's 30

    Please! Mary has old and new school folks listening to her music, while Beyonce's music is strictly for chicken heads and women with that, "I'll just use my booty to get what I need" mentality. Mary is SO above that. Furthermore, Beyonce is overexposing herself, making it obvious to people that she's a glory hog, just as she was in Destiny's Child.

    *****

    TO GENERALIZE A BEYONCE FAN IN SUCH A WAY IS INAPPROPRIATE AND QUITE FRANKLY CHILDISH, & I TAKE OFFENSE TO IT. I HAVE YOU TO KNOW I GET WHAT I WANT WITH MY MIND SWEETY AND NOT MY BODY (although it could go down like dat). CHICKENHEAD?? REALLY? YOU SEEM PERTURBED ABOUT SOMETHING. TO NOT LIKE AN ARTIST IS FINE, BUT WHY PUT DOWN HER FANS?? IF YOU CAN'T COMPOSE A SIMPLE THOUGHT/ARGUMENT BASED ON THE PROS AND CONS OF THE TOPICS' FACTS, PROVES YOU ARE NOT GOOD AT GETTING YOUR POINT ACROSS. HENCE YOUR CHILDISH ANTICS. MARY IS FOR THE MATURE??? ARE YOU ONE OF THOSE "MATURE" WOMEN THAT ENJOYS MARY'S MUSIC? YOU JUST DISCREDITED YOUR ENTIRE ARGUMENT BY RANTING IN SUCH A IMMATURE MANNER.

    Again, I love Mary and I love Beyonce.... does that make you SUPERIOR to me??? Of your own volition you've stated as much. NOW HOW MATURE IS THAT? HOW SUPERIOR CAN YOU BE WHEN YOU RELY ON H.S. ANTICS TO "BACK UP" YOUR STATEMENS? GEE, HUN, HAVEN'T YOU GROWN AND MATURED ALONG WITH MARY?? WHAT HAPPENED?? RELAPSE?? SECOND CHILDHOOD?? STEP BACK, RETHINK YOUR ARGUMENT, THEN TRY IT AGAIN.... FROM A GROWN WOMEN'S PERSPECTIVE OF COURSE. And yeah, Beyonce just "took over" DC right? 'Cause we all know the "other" members were the TRUE talent of that group, right? And should have sung LEAD more often, right? OK, YOU'RE RIGHT??? lol

    BTW, I'm quite disappointed with Beyonce for making a duet with Justin Timberfake and will not support that GARBAGE! YOU SEE, IT'S EASY TO ENJOY AND SUPPORT AN ARTISTS' ENDEAVOURS, but not be taken in by ALL that they do.

    I love Mary, but dat crump dacrump crump crump $hit was WACK, I don't care how many people liked it.... I was disappointed in Mary when she dropped it. I even tried to FORCE myself to like it... just didn't happen. I was ELATED with the BREAKTHROUGH. THAT'S MY OPINION AND I'M STICKING TO IT. Noticed how I didn't have to belittle Mary J's ENTIRE fanbase to get say just that, MY OPIONION? TRY IT SOMETIME

    If I was Mary I wouldn't push back ish' cuz Beyonce' already done took the spot light from the rest of the Destiny Child girls who else is she gone do it to. But Mary is a nonviolent person so she don't like a lot of drama in her life, so I don't blame her. At least her album will be the only album expected to come out that day so she'll sell a lot of copies.
     

    supamanx2
    I love Mary, but goin up against Beyonce wouldnt be wise. Do the math, check the numbers...Mary is not even close...Beyonce sells 3 times more worldwide than she does in the US, thats crazy...Its not like Kanye and 50...Mary's people are smart.
     

    Lastofdabest
    MJB all day. It would be foolish for MJB to push her ablum for that fallin down the steps busting her ass live Beyonce. Getting sick of her.

    Just recently you claimed she and Mariah had release dates on the same day, now its Beyonce? Your credibility is totally gone. Give it up man.

    First off....B is not fudging with Mary..... You can't even compare the two. B is simply ey candy but Mary.... Mary..... that gul can sang!

    Justthefactmam.... DOn't get made because she told the truth. Beyonce is just good for shaking that azz and screaming. She sucks and I'm getting REAL tired of seeing her. I alway think..... why couldn't it have been her to go down in the plan crash instead of Aaliyah. Now if she was alive she would shut them ALL DOWN. Aaliyah was on her way at the time of her death.

    Ydidi.....Im glad u said that

    Now I know You dont know what good singing is. And u sound DEMONIC for wishing death on a person who's music u dont like.
     

    blu_les
    I personally think Mary needs to go back and review some of her past albums..MJB is still off the chain to me mann.. Like that track ''Share my world'' and ''Just mary'' was some jammin' ass songs...Mary is a soulful singer, she 's not no damn pop, or up tempo type singer or performer..

    My girl Beyonce has a little bit of everything in her music..When I get all extra fly, and hit the streets, I'll bump some ''get me bodied'' straight up, because I get the concept of the song.. However due to my age and maturity the music I listen to is 80% R&B. Al Green, Marvin G, Frankie B. and Maze.. Now that's ''real to the soul'' music... They both have great music to offer, just like you have a younger audience you have an older and mature audience..

    I don't even think they have the same fan base. I think Beyonce caucasion base holds her up and compares her to all of these legends. Not to say that maybe someday she won't be, but, right now she is not at legend status.

    Everyone had pegged Mary to be over after her 1st album and then she came back stronger. And, that is because she was never afraid to try something new and different. The core her songs had a similar theme but the sound was totally different.

    I think Beyonce has had a pretty easy life because her songs are not about anything. Maybe she has to go through some grown woman stuff before she can get deep. I would think dating a man that is like 15 years her senior she would have some deeper songs.

    On her next album she will be a little older and people will expect something a little deeper from her. If she comes out with that same nonsense and shaking all over the stage people will probably get tired of her. No matter how loyal her team is around her.
     

    beyoncelove2009
    fukk Mary! she was all arrogant towards keyshia cole and mariah actin' like Mariah should have pushed her album back but you see when she finds out the BIG B is coming out...she weasels the hell away cuz she know she can't fukkin touch the KNOWLES they are some crazy cutt throat mutha effers who will DO WHATEVER! Mary needs to DEFLATE that big ass head of hers so she won't have to BACK down from anybody! did y'all read that hater azz [EXPLETIVE] she put up about Keyshia Cole! that's was wrong!

    @strawcream

    Um.. check the awards and check the bank accounts and tell me who has more! I'm not hating on MJB I'm just stating the fact that Beyonce has had more success. And besides, Beyonce's career started out as the lead singer of the group Destiny's Child. While MJB on the other hand, has been a solo act all along. If you ask me, I think this topic is B.S.
     

    qt_pie
    sounds like Beyoncelove2009 wanna lick Beyonce Twat! Aint that much love for an artist in the world. Every body knows Mary is a legend and is the Queen of R& B Beyonce is talented a beutiful person, but Im starting to feel like she is a bitch as well this is the second time I have heard of her doing something spiteful and devious. But I know that god will handle her is she aint doing right. Whoever said Mary aint got nothing is a clown. she one of the flyest chicks out.
     

    qt_pie
    just the facts couldnt said it better. I like both of them but Mary is all grown up and B needs to.
     

    bossychick
    I love them both but Beyonce has had more success than Mary. And everybody knows not to put out an album around the same time as Beyonce. Look what happened to Janet. Beyonce killed her in sales. Besides I heard this was all a lie anyway. Mary's release date is the same.
     

    ChocCookie
    Seriously Mary go ahead and release your album because BEYONCE been washed up! I don't care how much they try to say everything is coming up roses with that heffa. Aint nobody feeling Bey's a.s.s.s.s.s no more. She's a wrap even though her camp is trying to make it seem like her tour was such a great success and her clothing line which is now in TJ Max LOL. She's finish with that baby bebop music she sings, so go ahead and release your grown folks stuff Mary.

    ChoCookie so when all else fails you lie on the girl. LMAO @ the Mary stans. I don't see Mary selling out arenas and touring all over the world. Beyonce is more successful and all the chicks in the industry are intimidated by her. Beyonce is a worldwide superstar. Only black ppl know who Mary is.

    Bottom line Beyonce is a force to be reckoned with obviously and her numbers speak for themselves.

    "Men lie Women lie Numbers Don't" LOL
