Absolutely beautiful.
I love the message it relays.
None of us are perfect and we should stick together, love and support one another.

So much for that Mario groupie on the last post. Ms. Knowitall. I laugh in yo face, she was the one answering all the questions that were SUPPOSE TO BE FOR MARIO. The little fan insisted that Mario was single and all sort. So why did I just read on Mediatakeout that he is now seeing the video hoe Nicole. HA HA HA HA HA I bet the groupie/fan is at home right now slitting her wrist. HA HA HA HA

I like this!

Anyone who could possibly speak negatively about this inspiring song and video should be ashamed. This just shows what kind of person you are and what state of mind you have–negative.

Sometimes it’s about what a person feels. We can’t forget that he makes music for himself too and if Alicia Keys can put out thought-provoking and soul searching music than so can Mario. Many artists take different directions sometimes.. Mary is one of them and I love her to death. I think his fan base will still support him. Im sure one single about him loving his mother is not going to break his career. Many people can relate to his message, even if their parents aren’t drug addicts, and I think its inspirational. Keep doin you Mario! I was never a big fan of yours but this has helped me see that you are not concerned with JUST selling records and you get a thumbs up for that. Keep GOD first and all else will come!

its not an official single

its a promo in video form for his foundation

STARRY NIGHT I AM NOT A GROUPIE ! DID MARIO SAY HE WAS SEEING NICOLE? THE LAST INTERVIEW I READ HE SAID HE WASN’T SEEING ANYBODY AND THE PERSON HE WAS THANKING IN HIS ALBUM WAS LORRAINE, I WAS JUST SAYING WHAT I READ ABOUT HIM. HE’S NOT EVEN MY FAV ARTIST I LOVE NEYO MORE.

PS I’VE ONLY EVER SEEN HIM LIVE ONCE, HOW CAN I E A GROUPIE?

@ 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!

^^^Thank you. That’s exactly what I was thinking. Anyway, this isn’t a third single. So Brian, you’re STILL not on top of things.

What does it matters if this is his first, third or last single for the CD?
If people are listening to and purchasing music based purely on what individual songs are released - that’s some real foolishness.

Most people don’t wait until they release all of the cuts on a CD to decide to purchase the CD - in fact, unless it’s a new artist, you already know whether or not you like an artist’s musical and artistic style. If you’re a fan, you buy the music because you want to listen to it — not because of the order singles were released.

This music industry got folks so twisted, they they don’t even use logic and common sense anymore.

I heard this aint his new single & that he released the video for the message & that he is dropping somet else!

Love this music. Where can I get more like it?

I LOVE ME SOME MAIRO AND I’M SO HAPPY FOR HIS MOM THAT IS A PRETTY SONG

This is a really good song and a great video with a nice message, but i wish they would’ve released something that had more potential to be a hit song..mario works so hard and he really deserve to be successful, even if it is my mainstream/radio standards.

I absolutely LOVE this song. While watching his MTV documentary I heard it during one of the scenes and automatically fell in love with it. When I finally heard the while song I was so proud of him for coming out with his story and the song. He is very talented and seems like a geniune person. I hope this single does well, I hope his mom stays clean too.

Btw, Akon produced it/

Seriously though, this song is very inspiring and emotional. I can appreciate Mario doing this for his mommy. One should always reverence the womb that bore them, the problem is that most don’t, and this is what’s wrong with society now! Hats off to you Mario for doing right by your mom and helping her to do right for herself.

And for #’s 1&2 and anyone else agreeing with these people, they are ignorant savages, because only an animal can not appreciate this message. I just hope your moms know the type of person they raised!

Mario is representing Baltimore to the fullest. I will be purchasing the cd GO. The video and the song is representing a message for his addiction campaign. At least he is supporting something that is positive. Every family in America at some point is affected by drugs. I commend Mario for the message……………..:)

Randallstown High is being represented lovely Monique and Mario.

I bought the album because I thought it was a very solid album and Mario voice is amazing. Its a really good cd that everyone should give a chance. It shouldn’t take hot singles for you to support a good cd, which Mario definately has. This is most likely not the 3rd single release.

OMG the video is great i really loved it i’ve always been a mario fan but the video really opened up a more personal side of him for me and i really enjoyed seeing that and im glad he put that out there to show that he is human like his fans and not just some star and I loved the album!!!! another great album from Mario! Got to love him!

about all the negative comments…more power to you…i don’t knock anyones opinion but alot of the comments were ignorant but i totally agree with alot of the comments that were positive and actually worth reading…..

But yes main point, great song great video

LOL at #82, MARIOS LOVER 4 LIFE claiming she’s not a groupie when her user name pretty much confirms it. . . no hate though, i’m just saying! anyways, yeah “DO RIGHT” is not an official single, it’s just a PSA for his foundation. Mario has confirmed that “MUSIC FOR LOVE” will be his NEXT SINGLE! I can’t wait to see that.

Love it my mom was on drugs before she died in 1995
Please help your Mothers and Fathers thru it

if anything this makes me want to buy his album even more. i cried and i’ve never cried at a video. very very special!

Some of yall are the DUMBEST people in the world! It’s a positive message. Who cares if it’s the next single or not. You won’t buy the album even if Music for Love or Kryptonite was the single anyway. So shut up about it damn! For those of you who insist on correcting Brian on what he says and being on top of things, this is his blog and he can write whatever the hell he wants to write. If you don’t like it then start your own blog and see how much your dumbass stays on top of things. If you don’t like what he says or how he says it then stay off concreteloop. It’s that simple!

OK CLEARLY CONCRETELOOP MESSED UP! THIS IS NOT HIS 3RD SINGLE!!!!
ITS FOR THE FOUNDATION!!!

ALSO WHY IS MARIO SO CUTE, I LIKE THIS GUY, AND HE DESERVES RESPECT BECAUSE ITS HARD FOR PPL TO TALK ABOUT THEIR PERSONAL BUSINESS!

CONGRATZ TO MARIO STAY POSITIVE!

OH AND TO COMMENT #4 BLACKLOVE4EVER, IT’S SO FUNNY HOW YOUR NAME IS BLACKLOVE4EVER AND YOU ARE MAKING FUN OF A BLACK FEATURE! ITS PPL LIKE YOU WHO MAKE FUN OF BLACK FEATURES AND WHEN THEY GO AND CHANGE IT (LIKE LIL KIM AND MICHAEL JACKSON) YOU GUYS ARE STILL MAKING FUN OF THEM, AND ASKING WHY THEY DID IT

I KNOW YOU APOLOGIZED, BUT I STILL WANTED TO RESPOND TO YOUR COMMENT BECAUSE I HEARD IT IN OTHER POST BY OTHERS TOO.

Music is missing something and anytime someone comes up with some different from the rest of these half naked woman, soulja boy rubbish I’m sure glad, i love this song and think his vocals really have improved and are so showed cased in this song, there are so many wonderful levels to this song and i appreciate the lyrical content, i find this album to be complete in so many ways it shows his growth more so in his vocals than anything else.

You go mario

this is real sweet and touching

Why is everyone comparing Mario’s songs to Soulja Boy’s? Soulja Boy is a rapper and Mario is a singer. Two different types of musical mediums.

Now if we were gonna compare the crappyness of music today then I’d say songs like Kiss Kiss, Tattoo, and London Bridge that have made it to number 1 are ruining music. Mario is on his grind and yet idiots still buy the crap that make it to the top of the charts instead.

Mario’s third single will be Music for Love. He has stated this several times. This is just a promotional clip.

Thanks for all the hate though.

Not feelin’ this video but I love the song. Mario said Music 4 Love was actually his next single on 106 which was Thursday, which is my soooong.

nice lyrics….not written by the artist..ahermmm…yes not written by him about his own life. Questionable voice….why synthesizers..what are you hiding? As i said in my previous posting, he had a half decent voice as a kid..somethings don’t carry over into adulthood. Flop!!!

LOL I was thinkn the same thang i was like #16 only said one sentence why is everybody givin kudos!….but yes I totally cosign #17. I think people like tamia and mario just bore people. It’s about a tight beat while ur ridin in ur car on the freeway. Not listenin to words while drivin and hangin w/ friends. :\

the music industry has changed so much FOR THE BAD. it dnt make no sense that good quality music get overlooked for BULLSHIT that some so called artist put out 2day. ive been a fan of Mario since “Turning Point” which IMO is a excellent cd also. I purchased Marios cd and its worth it, and for whoever dont like his music, everything is not for everybody. I wish him much success on this cd.

Just cos the song aint about no grillz, sum stupid leg wiggle dance (soulja boy) or any other trivial superficial garbage with beautiful thick girls draping themselves over him, it’s a bad video???

People, we need to re-think what quality is. It’s not just about the slickness of the video, how bright the lights are or how tight the beats/production is. Shouldn’t it also be about the heart of the message.

it’s a nice song, and the message that he’s sending to us it’s all right.

OK REALLY I’M NOT A GROUPIE MY OTHER SCREEN NAME IS AYETTYMAMA, I JUST USE THIS ONE TO SHOW I’MA MARIO FAN, IF I’LL BE GROUPING ANYONE I’LL BE GROUPING NEYO! SERIOULSY

I am loving this song and video!!!! This album is worth buying!

[...] I don’t like Mario’s song “Do Right,” but, you know, his mom is a heroin addict and all. So I have nothing bad to [...]

I’m loving the song and the video. I’m glad to hear that his mother is fine and it’s great to see him there for her. Just beautiful. Can’t wait to read his interview.

the comparsion between soulja boy and mario is not about is not about rap and rnb is about quality over trash… some how trash makes it to number one. whether it be rap or rock and roll its about good music of which soulja boy is not,. Soulja boy’s music is not the type of music you can listen to in 5 years time where as do right (mario) you can put that song on in 5 years and still feel good

This video and song is soooooo very beautiful and touching. Thank goodness the positive comments here are just as strong as the negative ones lest we all die breathing shit from the white man’s ass.

@4

WHY ARE SO MANY PEOPLE HATING ,I JUST CAN’T UNDERSTAND PEOPLE ON THIS SITE SOMETIMES ,ALL THEY DO IS WRITE NEGATIVITY ABOUT A PERSON INSTEAD OF BEING HAPPY FOR THIER SUCCESS USUALLY ,THIS IS BEACUSE THEIR OWN LIVES ARE NOT GOING SO WELL .
PEOPLE LIKE NUMBER 4 NEED TO GO AND SOUGHT OUT THEIR LIVES AND STOP HATING

I THINK IT SHOWS ALOT OF GROWTH THAT HE HAS SHARED HIS LIFE EXPERIENCES WITH US AND I KNOW HE’S DOING IT TO INSPIRE THOSE WHO EXPERIENCED WHAT HE DID .KUDOS 2 MARIO FOR BEING BRAVE AND STRONG AND SHARING HIS LIFE STORY WITH US.I THINK THIS WAS A EXCELLLENT IDEA!

KUDOS 2 17
I COULDN’T AGREE MORE
WHEN SOULJA BOY CAME OUT I LIKED THE SONG BUT WHEN I REALLY TOOK TIME TO LISTEN TO THE LYRICS , HAD NO IDEA WHAT THE HELL HE WAS TALLKING ABOUT ‘SUPERMAN DAT HOE’ DOESNT MAKE ANY SENSE WHATSOEVER ,I THINK ARTIST LIKE MARIO WHO SING SONGS THAT ARE RELATABLE ARE NOT GETTING ENOUGH RECOGNITION FOR THIER HARD WORK .I THINK R&B & HIP HOP IS LOSING ITS FLAIR.HIP HOP THESE DAYS DON’T TALK ABOUT NOTHING BUT CARS AND MONEY AND HOW RICH THEY ARE!

@blacklove4ever or whatever ur name is
there was no need for your your negative comment and what does it have to do with this song?
I jus can’t understand people like you sometimes ,all you do is hate ,cnt you just be happy for others? Your probably like that because your not happy with yourself,you need to get all your negativity off here and find something useful to do with you time cause hating is not going to get you nowhere,if you don’t have anything good to say then don”t say it.!Get a life!
ANYWAY
the song is not what i expected for next single but i think its a great song that kids can relate to ,i kinda happy he chose this as next single
GOOD LOOKING OUT MARIO ,,LET THEM HATERS HATE CAUSE THAT’S WHAT THEY DO BEST!!

I love Mario… he is an amazingly talented artist…i think this video is very uplifting for those people who have been in similar situations with people who were addics… i think it great that he was able to get through all that and come out as the artisit he is today …. amazing job
