I love the majority of Mary’s videos and this is no exception. I love the concept of this video! It was really nicely done. And I’ve loved the song for awhile now, it’s definitely one of my favorites on the album!

To all the contributers…I REALLY DON’T LIKE THE NEW AVATARS….Angela looks like Bobby Christin’a big sister, Brian’s facial expression is irritating(luv the locs though), and Tianna looks like Big Lez…STOP CHANGING THEM…they keep getting worse…AND HOPEFULLY YOU WON’T ERASE THIS COMMENT AGAIN…It’s funny how people can dish it and not take it…I thought this was an open forum….

I think the song is very nice and the video is very plain and simple, nothing really special, but it defenitely goes with the song and its powerful message.

It’s nice to have some balance in music: you have your booty-shaking songs and videos and you can have a song that really says something. I’m close to being a Mary stan, but not quite ;) Go on Mary! Can’t wait to see her in Toronto on Tuesday night :)

I want to comment for two reasons……….

1) This is classic Mary; the hurt, the pain, and the success. I LOVE THIS SCHITT!!!!!

2) Behind every great song is/are a great songwiter(s). j.Que (who is my younger brother), Keri Hilson, Zeke Lewis, Candice Nelson, & Balewa Muhammad…..better known as “The Clutch!” This talented crew is behind some of the hottest records to be released this year, including “As I Am”.

WE AS FANS HAVE SEEN MARY GO THROUGH SO MANY CHANGES I AM SO GLAD SHE IS FINALLY HAPPY WITHIN HER SELF. I FEEL SHE IS A TRUELY GENUINE PERSON THAT WHY HER MUSIC SOUNDS SO REAL. THAT IS THE ONE THING HER AND KEYSHIA COLE DO SHARE THEIR STRUGGLE COMES OUT THROUGH THEIR MUSIC. I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED MARY.

I love the video! it fits the song very well and she is beautiful in it. Once again, Mary does her thing! I love the different hair styles in it…Specially the one where she’s sitin in the window. I want my hair just like that. I wanna know who did it. I will bring that video to the beauty shop if I have and say I want my hair just like that…lol

Beautiful video with a strong message. I am a huge Mary fan have been one since the very beginning. I love Mary because she’s so real and she makes music that comes from the heart. To Caff: How can you say Mary hasn’t made a hit since 411. That’s pure nonsense she has so many hits under her belt. If your not a fan then say that but for real that was a crazy comment. Rico Love whoever you are that was a fucked up statement you made. Yes she has admitted to being on drugs in the past but she has god in her life now and is doing much better. To call her ugly your insane. This shows me how hateful people are. People thrive off of other peoples misery. Honestly you sound like a fucked up individual! And a hater. It’s people like you that keep the hateration flowing. Why because her ass ain’t out and she not hopping around like she crazy. I bet you think Assie is good right? I hate a damn hater!

I thought the song was ok when I first heard it on the CD but now that I have really sat down and listened to it I will be listening to this song more often. She really did a good job with the video. That is the kind of artist that I like. The ones whose song and video actually means something and you can get something out of it and apply it to your present situations or future situations. Go Mary! I love you! Keep doing you babe.

“take me as i am”…perfect song name cause that’s what mary is all about. she’s one of the few people i can think of that truely does her own thing and it’s always worked for her. she never comes off as someone who has something to prove and relys on gimmics, sexy outfits or crazy antics to get attention. if your han fan, then you’ll ride with her and if not that’s fine too. i like the song, but the video is boring as all hell, but i can garuntee she not’s worried about what i think. she’s just in her own zone…love mary :-)

MARY DONT HAVE TO PROVE ANYTHING…NIGGAS GOT IT TWISTED. YALL THINK CASSIE CAN SING. MOST PEOPLE THAT POST COMMENTS ON THESE SITES ARE A SITE THEM SELVES AND CANT DO ANYTHING BUT HATE. ITS LIKE THIS MARY IS A NEW YORK GIRL. SHE STICKS TO IT, SHE TALKS LIKE IT , HER STYLE IS NEW YORK AND SHE IS FLY. SHE STEPPED HER GAME UP 3000% AND CANT BE STOPPED. WHAT CAN STOP IS THE HATE. IF U DOIN GOOD NIGGAS DONT WANNA SEE THAT BUT IF U GET LOCKED FOR WEED THAN U ARE THE BEST THING THAT HAPPEND. MAN GET YA MIND RIGHT AND STOP TRYIN TO GET WHAT SHE GOT AND GET TO GETTIN YOURS! MARY IS NOT TRYING TO BE ANYBODY BUT HER SELF IN WHICH MOST PEOPLE CAN’T SAY THAT. SHE IS HERE TO STAY AND THATS IT. BOW DOWN TO HER SHE WORKED REALLY HARD TO GET WHERE SHE IS. THIS IS A REAL ARTIST. OHH AND HER LAST SHOW BY THE WAY WAS THE BEST SHOW IVE BEEN TO IN YEARS FROM ANY ARTIST OR RAPPER.

I love Mary. In every scene she is believable, which is difficult for most artists out there now. Mary is a strong black woman who has overcome many obstacles and should be recognized for her talents. Her songs are uplifting and inspiring. Go head Mary!!

I like the video, but not what they’ve done to the song. Outside of that braid and the Sasha weave, she looks great. I really want to kidnap that braid and never return it to her.
