Who the hell is making the decisions on what singles to release? Its like they are hell bent on making sure this album flops. This choice was a disaster especially since his first two singles flopped.

Are you serious??? Why, No definition, Kryptonite all wouldve been much better choices. Go is probably not even going to go gold. So sad.

This is a beautiful song and has a nice message not only to his mother, but to all families going through things like this. Mario is back on track with some nice material and I will now go out and support him after this. Beautiful video very raw and real! Love it go head Mario! Oh and this is the first time I am the 1st post yay!!!

Mario SUCKS and his nose looks like Ms. Piggy. He has woman hips, breast and butt. In addition to that he’s just another R&B singer like the rest with these white looking chicks all over them NEXT>>>

aaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh im 3rd!
yea I agree, this is even worse than the management for the last album

I agree entirely with 1 & 2. it’s a sweet song for his mom but it’s not single material…Kryptonite or No Definition would have been better choices. People don’t even know that he has an album out.

His label must be trying hard to drop him…

I love this song and video! Both are realistic and have great messages that many people of all kinds can relate to. Mario has a great album and I’m sure he will do well. Stop all the damn negativity and ghetto mentality and turn your minds to something positive and uplifting. Go Mario!

Damn, I guess I should have looked at the video first, this video is sad and I understand where he’s coming from. This is cool and maybe he’s not all those things after all, but he still need to have some sista’s in his video….. PEACE

look at my future mother n law. Its so good to know that my mother is doing well. And my husband’s album is hot.

I like Mario as an artist…I like the message behind the song…but not sure if it’s single material…but none the less…I’m still behind him 100%.

Bad management, u’d think he would have figured that out by now….
He has alot better songs on the album…

Oh well…he’s still cool with me though…but whatever…

WHAT ARE YOU MAD!!!!!!!!! BLACKLOVER4EVER, PISS OFF,
brian his album was released on tuesday you muppet.

I have to say that I really like the song and the video. I am not a big fan of Mario and haven’t followed his career much, but I have to say that this puts him in a whole new stratosphere for me. I tend to not listen to the radio much or a lot of new music because a lot of it is trash, but I like the fact that the subject matter of this song was something he cared about and that people who’ve been through tough times can relate to. Music is suppose to move people not only on the dance floor and I think it’s moving. I may even by the album now.

*+*+*+*BEAUTIFULL SONG*+*+*+*
STOP HATIN

Brian, the album is already in stores. Aren’t you supposed to be on top of these things?

Anyway, I like this. It takes a strong person to not only deal with their mother’s addiction , but for them to put it out there for the world to see.

I like this song and video…Thought he said ”Music for love” would be the next single tho..

daaanng all these comments show exactly why mainstream music out now is waaaaccc as hell. i never understood how people could let a pointless song with no meaning (like soulja boy - crank that) stay at no. 1 for so many weeks and let other artists like tamia and mario go unnoticed when they put out music with thought and passion and lyrics that have meaning. but i guess thats how people like it. a dope beat is all you need to make it big in the industry. how sad is that.

What is up with all the hate you guys have for Mario?Mario is one of my favorite artists out there right now. This song not only has a positive message, which is hard to come across in today’s music, but is also a really great song. Just cause he aint singing about money hoes doesn’t mean it isn;t good stuff.
Go cop his album, it is really good and refreshing. You can listen to basically every track on it without skippin a track

Cosign w/ #16.

he looks alot like his mom! well, the video waws very touching but it shouldnt be a single. :\

I like the video, he and monique make me proud to be coming from the old high school. Very successful people. I love how much Baltimore imagery was in this video and how he stole some of the video footage from his mtv special. But its cool. Its a nice song and people need to stop putting him down so much. He doesn’t make the decisions on his singles so you can’t be mad at him directly, get pissed off at J Records.

The song and video are beautiful! I love Mario. There is nothing like that close bond of a mother and her son…it’s a beautiful thing. God Bless Mario and his mother with her sobrioity. Keep it up girl!

@ 16

I couldn’t have said it better myself. it’s sad, ain’t it

I dunno who’s pickin the singles but they’re F’in up. Mario’s new album is great…I agree that shulda released kryptonite!!! I love Mario & I wish his label supported him more cuz he’s so talented

There are a lot of dumba** comments on here. How can anyone criticize a POSITIVE song and video like this? To hell with album sales and critics. Music is SUPPOSE to be real and healing, especially R&B. The kid has talent and I hope he does well. Black Folks really NEED to start being more positive. REAL TALK…..1

kudos to #16!

I LOVE THIS SONG

The clip is well shot, but this looks like a PSA against drug abuse NOT an R&B video. If he really wanted to put this emssage out there then he shoulda released a double A-side with “Krypnote” or “No Definition” as the main tracks. Real talk, i bought this CD and i’ve liked every track. But his single choices have not been great. He’s turning out to be another Kelly Rowland.

I dont care what anyone says. Im sure Mario and his team want to sell records, and like it or not songs like this dont do it. Songs like this are great for an album but not single material when you are tryiong to push your record. None of the songs on his CD are on the level of Soulja Boy’s BS so no matter what he released it would have some level of substance. SO get off of your high horses and platforms we all love this kind of music but not for the radio. Some of you people would never make it as record execs.

@#24 if you say to hell with record sales you can say to hell with your career. I would rather Mario put out the type of SINGLES that get him record sales so he can continue to make good ALBUMS.

And i swear i heard him say Music of Love was the confirmed next single.????

I love this song and video. It takes alot for a man to open up to his fanbase about his personal struggles and I commend him for it. Keyshia Cole ain’t the only one with a mom that has issues. It’s funny how yall get upset cause he isn’t promoting the singles that YOU want to hear. Did yall ever stop to think maybe HE believes in quality music over record sales and this single may be HIS choice to release. Seeing from how long he’s been in this business and his record in cd sales it’s NOT about money but more about Artistry and being free to express it?
I glad he released this it sounds better than the payola crap out there that’s forced down our throats until we begin to like it. Like some mediocre artists out there.

This is a very positive song. All of my fellow Baltimorians better support Mario.If this was somebody from down south people would be lovin this ,and saying nice ass kissin things.Please do not hate ya’ll know ya’ll love this song and video now Peace .

Wished his 3rd single coulda been Music For Love, so we can actually see him in action on the bed WITH a sista. Been next one fo sure

The video is ok. Mario has so much protential that she does not use. Sad.

Agree @ 16…we have some of the dumbest people making comments right now…

You know what yall really need to stop hatin shit Mario has been through so much with his moms drug addiction and the fact that he’s opening up and sharing such a sacred and personal part of his life to the world shows great heart and man hood. So regardless if the single or album flops or whatever I know that his mamas still going to be proud and he’s still gonna have his dignity

I love Mario SO much! I have been a fan of his since “Let Me Love You”. I’ve been hooked on him since then. He’s so handsome and has a unique voice, which to me, makes him stand out. He’s got a lot on him trying to concentrate on his music carreer and have to deal with problems on the home front. I love him and will keep him and his mom in my prayers.

Go Get The Album!

I love this song… By Mario wanting to put this song out I don’t think it had anything to do with popularity but to share his and his mothers testimony. Forget that his nose is big why don’t some of you grow up and the get the message. Why his looks matter when the message of this song can motivate and strengthen a family in a similar situation.

OK, so being on your high horse is not liking garbage ass music, all righty. Some of y’all clowns need to ask the wizard for a brain and not let these Jews trick you into thinking the trash that’s out now, is good music. Damn, we went from Rakim, Big daddy Kane, Slick Rick to Supermanin’ that hoe. What happened to freethinkers?

I always thought Mario was a cutie esp. since “Braid My Hair”. And seeing that show on MTV made me fall in love with him. I like the song… it’s touching. I’m going to cop the album. Give him a break. Like # 6 said GO Mario!

And maybe this is really NOT his third single… maybe he is doing a PSA.

different…..intresting

are you people crazy? do you not read? I SAID the album hit stores this tuesday - meaning past tense. we’re still in the same week. geeze.

the song is boaring i remeber a lil while back i use to listen to a song called “boom” that he did that was a great song i dont know if it ever became a hit but i would like to here more of that sound.

@ #16

I couldn’t have stated it any better myself… co-sign 110%

I don’t think that’s the official video because his third single is Music for Love. I have to say that’s is my fav. song off the album

OK It is obvious that this isn’t his next single—it’s obviously a promotion for the show or a PSA of some sort. It’s still a good song though, he’s probably going to release another song very quickly.

I love Mario cd and Do Right is a good song. The cd is on repeat in the car and he has one of the most beautiful voices around. I was reading an article on Billboard.com this morning and he said he may release a new cd next year late summer. He should because Go was leaked and delayed for over a year and when it finally dropped on Tues everyone had heard it.

this song is so sad that it is so beautiful.

I like it, it’s very touching. I love Mario, Good job!

Beautiful Song
Beautiful Message

A strong, talented brother fighting for his family… Can’t help but love it.

I really like the song and video. It’s sincere and has a good message. Mario is a talented vocalist who I can definitely see going on the grown and sexy track in his career. It’s refreshing to see a young artist with actual talent and depth in his lyrics. Do yo thang, Mario.

LOL@ Brian #44 - I was wondering the same thing. I think people read it fast and thought it said “it hits stores Tuesday.” That’s the only thing I can come up with as to why folks were commenting like that. I peeped it though B - you on your game honey!

I agree with #32. Yall need to stop thinkinga about the money. Its his career. His album is actually really good but I think its brave of him to let us into his life like that. Maybe this time around he’s doing want he wants and releasing songs that are important to him. As for the song and video. they’re great! Hopefully, he releasing a next single that isn’t so sad.

Oh yeah - good work Mario - good to have the music scene changed up from mindless, pointless beats to something with substance - definitely better than what I heard from Cherish earlier this week.

You guys that are co-signing with #16, are co-signing with the wrong person. That said, I co-sign with you #17, couldn’t have said it better myself!

word to the people that cosigned with me… (which was #17) i just wanted to put that out there. lets make the movement towards better music in the spotlight.

Why are y’all dissing that wack ass Soulja Boy song for being #1? When you could really be pointing the finger at a wack R&B song for getting to #1…mainly Chris Brown’s “Kiss Kiss” the lyrics in that song are horrible yet people are still buying it because they like the way he looks rather than the lack of singing talent he has.

How come a wack ass singer like Chris Brown can sell 294,000 in the first week with his album but a great and talented singer like Mario can sell only 75,000 in the first week?

These little teenage girls need to be beaten senseless for buying albums solely because of the artist instead of the music.

I agree with you both Destined and ILL.

The song and video are beautiful. Anyone who saw his special on MTV can understand why they chose this song as a single.
Mario is finally showing his range on this album, he’s always had a good voice.

Mario and Tamia are both talented artists, that get little recognition.

This is NOT Mario’s 3rd single, but a video for his Do Right Foundation (mariodoright.org)

FYI

And yes #17 is correct….black people need to stop thinking so one minded, every R&B song does not have to be about love and relationships

I agree with you both Destined and ILL.

The song and video are beautiful. Anyone who saw his special on MTV can understand why they chose this song as a single.
Mario is finally showing his range on this album, he has always had nice voice.

Mario and Tamia are definately 2 great singers, who get little attention.

That video made me cry. Music that makes you feel. I agree with everyone who stated that most music today is ridiculous and not real music. thats exactly why music lovers know that the tracks you like best on the album are the ones they never play. Get your heads out of your commercial, wack-assl lyric, stupid ass video, my-space lovin, can I get my hair or gear done like that asses and think for yourselves.

THESE BLOGGERS ARE LIKE MISERABLE HUMANS WHO SAY ANY DAMN THING. THE MANS JUST MAKING MUSIC BASED ON WHAT HE IS GOING THROUGH OR BEEN THROUGH…NIGGAS TALKIN ABOUT WHAT S SINGLES…WHAT DO YOU’LL KNOW ABOUT WHATS A SINGLE??? FANS JUST LOVE GOOD MUSIC…IDIOTS……

Go Mario! This is such a beautiful message and so many families can benefit from this message being put out there. You have so many rough necks out there putting out music about how they are making so much money selling drugs but now we can see how their duties effect the families. Shux, just look at Keyshia Cole’s mom. I don’t even know if drugs are really her issue any more. She really needs to calm down because she just makes Keyshia’s image appear more ghetto and sloppy than real. Neffe is such a real woman about hers but Frankie really needs to calm down. I mean you can be real without being all loud and rambunctious like that, but this is not about them. But back to Mario, I am really glad that he is even stepping up to the plate to help his mom because I know that that just has to be a hard thing to witness and go through as a child. I hope and pray that she remains clean. Oh and i’ve always liked his music. He is very talented. Team Mario!

@ #7 Now how stupid do you feel now???

no matter if this is a single or a PSA Mario has major talent and there are many artist out here who are riding on the BS high of the industry where most of the music that they sing is meaningless. Over half of the music that Beyonce puts out is meaningless but people still love her. there are major artist in this industry whom if they were asked to write a song that had substance could not find the first word, y bcuz half of them don’t write anyway…at the end of the day, the record companies don’t care about anything but record sales. Anyone who knows quality music knows that the real artists’ of the industry will never get the shine cuz people don’t want to hear the positive but thrive on the negative so the can have something to put down or gossip about!!!!!!!!!! Take the song for what it is worth and give the man his props!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@ Brian…
I am not one of the ppl that commented about the “This Tuesday” snafu….
However, your point would have come across better if you had said either of the ff:

His album hit stores this PAST Tuesday OR
His album is in stores NOW OR
His album WAS released on Tuesday.

All showing past or present tense!

@ #57
I saw that too… LOL
Kudos to #17!

# 17 i totally agree wit u homie…dis shit is wild…

people that song is hot..and it has a positive message…and i like the video too..that song is on repeat in my cd changer right now…

Good to see Mario still doing his thing.

Wanna Know what’s big in 08′

Check out Pete.Colon @ www.myspace.com/petecolon

Listen to the song “Shame On Me”

Watch the video “New Day”

He’s the artist to look for!

Great song, great video, great message, blah blah blah terrible choice for a single if in fact thats what it is. We’ll see in a few months when his album falls off the charts at lightning speed.

you sure this isn’t one of those youtube fan videos????

it looks like one. but i LOOOOOVEEE the song & mario. that boy is THE TRUTH !!!
