This shit kills me.

Mary is a garbage vocalist, and she's making a UK album because America can't forgive the embarrassment that was the KFC commercial. She's been dead as a sales figure and radio figure for so many years, and hearing these types thirst over her and try to turn her into a figure of stature just because of her commercial success...

Also, the fetishization of Mary's eubonics makes me want to pray this writer gets a urinary infection.

not read that observer piece but i doubt disclosure and whoever are working with her cos of her commercial clout, well not JUST cos of that. its cos shes a 'real' authentic soul voice in that great american tradition of aretha etc etc that british soulboys/dance producers have always loved... theyve been trying to turn mjb into that kind of national treasure type singer for years now (which if she had better songs, might have actually been successful). im interested to see what its like, though wasnt totally sold on the song they did at glastonbury. but then ive not really liked an album of hers all the way through since my life, and whats the 411 was better than that so...

but she had a good song with method man released April of 1995, that's only 19 years ago now.

mary j blige cud do kfc commercials from here to forever she's certified and those who know will always know

up there with braxton, brandy n them

fair to say that shes quite a bit further up than braxton, brandy and them...

she also that 'tragic' backstory that has been part of her PR for years (though i liked her best when she was more miserable, sorry, mary)

1 no need for that

2 yeah she is but i used them two cause i'd imagine they were rated highly on here

fair enough. funny how all those dance music producers slowing down R&B voices never sampled her but preferred cassie, brandy etc etc

Don't be silly

Not at all. Sunshine Anderson was a better Mary J. Blige than Mary. Keisha Cole too.

This is going to become one of those weird threads where people pretend that anyone other than bloggers REALLY care about Ciara, or Cassie? (Like, I love Cassie, but that's a strictly internet cult phenomenon, the general public of America knows her for one song and briefly having a fauxhawk)

one classic single and the nude photos. thats all she deserves recognition for.

Just for the record, she did a commercial for Burger King, but it was for a chicken wrap.

nvm

wrong thread

Just wondering if anybody keeps up to date with this stuff? I just looked up the UK Top 40 dance tunes and there's loads of super old shit in there like ''You and Me'' by Disclosure. I assume this is cos nowadays its done by MP3 downloads rather than latest releases charting high etc.

Are there are any particular shows on Radio 1/1xtra/Kiss that would cover this sort of stuff? Time for some investigative procedures.

this thread bump was prompted by Todd the God Edwards praising the shit out of MNEK on Facebook btw

Today I listened to the whole of 1xtra's daytime playlist A-List. Aside from ''Trap Queen'' by Fetty Wap, this is the one I liked:

M.O. - Preach

Now time to check Rinse/Kiss I guess. Is this foolhardy? Are playlists guaranteed to be 90% shit?
