Mary looking good as usual.

WOW!

I love it! Nice and simple, the song speaks for itself. She looks great!!!

Mary gets the oscar for the nost drastic career and personal image transformation….GO MARY!

Mary looked beautiful, but the video bored me. Hype Williams and his excessive use of “green screen” is tired.

EWW !!MARY DONT SOUND THA SAME NO MORE TO ME ITZ SOUND WEIRD !SHE ALL SCREAMIN THOUGHOUT THA WHOLE SONG… NICE VID THO..LOVE HER HAIR

I luz Mary God Knows I do…but this video looks cheap and seems like I’ve seen it before. Love the song and she looks great as ususal.

love the new video.mary is the girl

that outfit is badd

im not really feelin the song tho…

DID YA KNOW, DID YA KNOW, DID YA KNOW, MARY THAT I LOVEEEEEEEE YOU!

I LOVE THAT IT SONG ITS ONE OF MY FAVORITES FROM THE ALBUM BUT THE VIDEO LOOKED REALLY CHEAP I WAS EXPECTING SOMETHING WAY BETTER THAN THAT!!! THE WHOLE VIDEO IT WAS THE SAME BACKGROUND AND ALL SHE DID WAS CHANGE OUTFITS AND WIGS!!!! BUT I STILL LOVE YOU MARY =)

love the song the video is wack it dont take way from the song nor do it add to it

um! Mary! I mean! why?! I expected a much, much, better video. It should have been conceptual! A story line would have been great! This looks rushed, it looks very similar to the New KC video/ HEAVEN SENT…I dont know….Hype, I mean seriously?!!!!

Mary, what a pretty, pretty song though!

They showed this in the background at the concert, and I feel as though this was a piss poor effort on Hype’s part. But Mary looked fab of course.

omg i have a cousin that looks EXACTLY like mary j. they even have that same ghetto look and swag, personality just everything she’s even her biggest fan

B E A U T I F U L ….the song and the video…. and i love the outfit shes rawking well everything but the shoes

Not feeling the National Geographic type video but I do like the song.

Hasn’t winter passed?

The song is beautiful, nonetheless.

I was sooooooo disappointed. I love this song but this video is boring.

Mary looks great and this is one of the best songs on her CD. But I hate when these directors all jump on the same bandwagon. First Benny Boom and Keyshia with the Hawaii scene and now this. I guess it’s easier to imitate than to innovate.

I like Mary alot but surely there must have been better songs on the album to release than this, Im not feeling it and dont think it will grow on me. The video looks cheap and the outfits look ghetto.

Mary has some major insecurities with her hair, on the Tyra show she was saying that she wished she had “Indian hair” and I was like wtf whats wrong with black hair? No wonder why shes always rocking these blonde wigs and blonde weaves. Its a shame that black women in the media have so much self-hatred-(Tyra, Bey and Mary are some of the biggest culprits of this type of mentality and it really pisses me off.

I last video I like what he did had Beyonce in but never-the-less Mary J is the bomb!!

Shesus Khrist!
Mary, how could you let me down this way.
I cannot take!
This video was very blah!
Mary, you usually get me with the videos, but this “Stay Down” was a major let down.
Just Fine to this shit?
Now release “Shake Down” and call it a day.

@ #13 & #21
Or maybe Keyshia was copying Mary?

Mary’s video “Everything” from 1997.

One of my Fav songs on the album & I’m not feelin’ the video!
Hype is SLIPPIN!

SHE PERFORMED THIS AT THE CONCERT IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY AND I SO DID NOT KNOW THIS SONG. LOL
I LIKE IT NOW!
I LOVE HER WHOLE LOOK = ]

Wow…how unoriginal is Hype Williams?…seriously…who can forget all the ariel shots of the mountains and snow and other artic crap for Ne-Yo’s “So Sick”? lol…recycling huh? National Geographic called Hype…they want their film back. And Mary…sweetie…you’re wearing all these big fur coats and jackets in front of a GREEN SCREEN? Sweety? they couldn’t even fly you on location? It’s so flippin cheap its ridiculous. Oh and on top of that, in case Geffen Records did NOT get the memo…its been SPRING here in the US for some weeks now…aint nobody trying to see snow/ice in any shape or form…we’re moving towards summer people, that means beaches, suns, and less clothing in our videos….get wit it.

VERY BAD…VERY BAD…at least Hype is over his widescreen video phase with the top and bottom bars doing their own thing with the main video in the middle…that got old quick!

Its SOOO wack how y’all constantally compare Mary & Keyshia. Why can’t 2 fine talented sistas be in the same game and do their own thing without every single similarity being compared?! I bet if Britney Spears or some other white girl had a video like this nobody would say “Mary Copied Her” or “____ Copied Mary”.

Anyway .. the song bored me as did the video but big ups to Mary. I am a huge fan of hers.

This is the best I’ve heard Mary in years!! I swear she’s been screaming and squalling since the ‘Mary’ album. I like her tone.

Mary looks nice as always but the video is wack and I’m not sure about the song.

Angel please do a Who Rocked It Better on wigs cause that looks like the same wig beyonce rocked a few weeks back…

Let me put my vote in now…Mary DEFINITELY rocked it better…

Love you Mary…

oh and ps i’ve been seeing that brown leather all over where can i get that? Shoot where can i get those jeans and shoes?

thanx

mary j blige aka “singer that always sings off key” and the video are disqusting!!!!!!!!!!!!! sorry

Why would Mary need to copy Keyisha Cole? Keyisha Cole is trying to be Mary and is failing miserably I might add. Nothing Keyisha has done has been on the level of My Life, What’s the 411, Mary, Share My World, The Breakthrough.

This is my favorite song off of her album. The lyrics are real and to the point! Now are far as the video not feeling it. Looks like they just thru something together maybe because her tour was coming up I dont know. I thought her next video wouldve been for Hurt Again, I thought that was her newest single on the radio right now.

I am so AMAZED at how cheap this video looks and i’m sure it was expensive bc it was done by Hype… Seriously this looks like something I could do on my computer…smh!!

MARY J NEEDS TO HANG IT UP ,STICK A FORK IN HER.SHE DOES’NT MOVE WITH THE TIMES ANYMORE

I really love this song come MJB, I love you and all, but damn can you come out with a concept for your videos now? instead of just singing in front on a blue/green screen, this video looks really cheap like it only took a few hours to shoot. Come on MJB why you leeting us down with this video it’s not fair to us? And I agree it is spring now, how many people do u honestly think are going to vote for a winter themed video in mid spring early summer? I can answer that for u ahead of time not many people will be voting for this video, honestly MJB lets go back to the drawing table and please reshoot this video with a concept if not for yourself for us (your loyal fans PLEASE!!!!!)………

I LOVE this song! Mary is such a diva.

But c’mon Hype. You could have done better with this video…

She needs a better video . Hype needs to get out of the business or step his game up for real . His videos are becoming tired. Mary deserves better than this. Plus she took too long for to drop a single so that don’t make it no better either.

CUZ ITS CHEAP. JUST HER STANDING THERE WITH SOME RANDOM MOUNTAIN SHOTS. LOVE THE SONG…BORING VIDEO

That video was complete shitty garbage. Mary Jane Blige KNOWS she CAN DO BETTER.

@29 Bobby- the reason why Mary and Keyshia are compared is because Keyshia is a Mary copycat, as much as I like her music its just like Mary’s, her image is the same as Marys and shes just a younger Mary. Its not hateration to compare them (although in most cases with other artists it is uneccessary) but in this case its not.

The video does look a bit like Keyshia’s heaven sent, neither of the videos are good anyway and Mary can do better than this, did she not watch the video back as they were fiming?

I dont know wat it is but this video reminds me of mary’s 97 vid (you are my everything) but thhe background is just different

I LOVE MARY. I LOVE THE SONG. I LOVE THE VIDEO. HER TRUE FANS WILL ALWAYS “STAY DOWN” FOR HER. SHE ROCKS!!!

Heard so many opinions about this video…….most of them weren’t good, and I must agree.
C’est tres wack.
It’s definitely springtime now, so the video already looks dated.
On top of that, the rabbt fur coat just isn’t getting it for me…not at all man….

I Love Mary J.

I admire her for not being ashamed to reveal her scars, wounds, and broken heart in her most vulnerable times.

I am moved by the respect and honor that she shows to her husband in an era when some would call it obsolete.

I love the song Stay Down. It speaks of what can happen in a relationship when there is an agreement to struggle together in hard times and share freely when better days arrive.

I appreciate how Mary is so honest about her imperfections and moments of frailty.

I honor her for allowing God to reveal the miracles He can bring about in a person’s life when they submit to His will.

Mary is real. She is a better witness to the true love of God than most of the so-called religious leaders we see today.

Stay real Mary.

MARY IS STILL A DRUG ADDICT COKE WHOR*E AND HER MUSIC IS TERRIBLE ,THE VIDEO SUCKED

Love Mary’s look in the video! Love the song! Mary is still holdin’ it down in ‘08!

I love the song but I wasnt feeling the video so much. She looked pretty but I feel the song has a story line and deserved a video that also told a story..Overall I expected more from Hype Williams.

the video was very boring…no “ENERGY” what so ever…but the song is great!! and mary is always staying true to SOUL music! gotta luv her!!

mary if your reading this dye your hair brown you would look 10 years younger this hair color and style dosnt work for you it makes you look older

This video reminds me too much of Ne Yo’s “So Sick” video, with the winter wonderland scenes…I do think that the obvious use of green screen isn’t cool, and I would have expected a little more variety in the vid than just a few hair chages and jacket switch-ups.

I thought the video was nice actually. I’m mostly glad that she chose to do this single over “Hurt Again,” because “Hurt Again” is a little too bland for a second single. Though I have to agree with many others when they say this video looks recycled. It was like a cross between “Everything”/”Enough Cryin’”/”So Sick.” But at least it was a winter video. Also I’m confused as to why she isn’t really promoting her album as much as she should be. The tour aside, this is the first Mary video since “Just Fine,” and that was back in October. She has a great album, with many possible #1s, but it seems like she is just leaving the door open for AKeys and Mariah to kick her down a few notches. Come on blonde queen.
Speaking of which, I was reading #22, and I kinda agree a little with the whole hair issue. She is a little bit too obsessed with trying to look a bit European. The blonde is getting a little too played out with black women, it’s becoming disgusting. I can’t wait until she changes it again. Many other R&B divas are going back to black, which is wayyyyy, more sexier than blonde in my eyes. It is obvious why Keyshia went black because she wanted to stop the Mary comparisons, and I think that was a great move. I’ve never seen her look as phenomenal as she does now. Keysh makes me wanna melt. But anyway, this song is one of the best on Growing Pains.

Mary is such a nice dresser. She very rarely disappoints. I can’t actually remember the last time she wore a “no, no.”

Mary so fuckin FLY!

LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!

YEAH I THOUGHT MARY WOULD COME A LIL HARDER WITH THE VIDEO…ALL SHE GAVE ME WAS WINTER WONDERLAND GREEN SCREEN…LIKE C’MON…

ITS ALMOST MAY CAN WE GET A SUMMER VIDEO…TO SETTLE THE DEPRESSION THAT IS THIS VIDEO!

ON THE OTHER HAND SHE IS LOOKING BEAUTIFUL! GET KENDU ON THAT WORK OUT PLAN MARY!

?????????????

Thats all i can say bout that…

but GO MARY I STILL LOVE YOU!!!!!

this video was not doin it for me..it sucks! they could have came up with better treatment then this! Luv the song tho…

Hated It

We have seen this video before.. It is just like Keisha Cole’s video(Sent from Heaven) except Mary’s video is in a cold environment. They seem to have taken each other’s idea on this on..Both vidoes very boring….but I still love both artist and their struggles just the same…keep holding it down for the ladies!!

Well I just read the other comments and see everyone else already knows that it is the same as Keisha’s video…just call me late bloomer on that one..LOL

Mmmm, not her fan. I saw her profile on “S e e k i n g R i c h . c o m ” last week. “She is already in relationship with a young billionaire on our site”, according to the officials of that site.You can contact her on that site.

boring azz video. it’s high time, mary retires that platinum blonde wig, most her females peers have all switched hair color. she looks so old

Boo @ the video but YAY to the song.

LOL that was corny, anyway in other words I hate the video but I love that song.

Mary is looking good in the candids. Get it woman!

YO this video looks SOOOO circa 2000. Like OLD! plus is gettin hot out MARY whyTF r u rockin all this winter?? At this point in her career she cant be makin no boring azz vids like that. REAL TALK!

The video sucks

Love Mary’s coat game!!

Damn, I was going to say damn-near everything #28 said!!! Go ‘ head #28, u said it right!

But I must admit that Mary be flyy as shit!!! I can’t even front like I don’t notice this woman style, since 1990’s.

But this is my most fav song from the album! I learned the lyrics from the beginning,
“Not Weezy like the son of Baby, but the wife of George and We Movin’ on Up……..”
We lookin’ like REAL when the haters look FAKE……”

I just wished that she would have done a Real ass video and all. The concept was a mess and Hype, Just Keep the Recyclin’ going Brah! Artists have a right to do what they want and make choices for tehir videos (I sdaw how Li’l Kim stepped up for herself with the video for “Put ur Lighters Up.” So you can’t say that you couldn’t Mary. Damn, I know you were probably getting prepared to go on tour, but if you can’t do it right, don’t do it at all. I’m Still 100% ur fan, Girl…..Betta Luck next time

i love this song its one of my favorites off the album, but i must agree they could have done much better for the video, and hype is really losing it he needs to step his game up the last couple of videos i have seen from him were garbage

Absolutely MY FAVE track off the CD - I’m glad she released it as a single. The song tells such a story that I think the video treatment should have told the story of the song.

i love her makeup. Would like to know what was used…

Some people must have amnesia. Mary didn’t copy Keyshia’s “Heaven Sent,” she copied her own video from 1997 “Everything.” I love Keyshia Cole (from Oakland myself) but it ain’t that serious to claim that Mary copied her when she’s done this type of video when Keyshia was in Junior High!

I agree. The song is one of my favorites on the album but the video was very boring. Not what I expected for such a great song. I got tired of looking at the scenery and began to notice that it switched to the view of the mountains every time she said “Stay Down”.

Yall are some mean and just downright hateful bunch of muthafu$%^$’s. I mean yall that damn miserable in your own life you have to come on the internet and bash people you dont even know. She has more money and talent than a lot of you negative assh@#$. Mary is doing her thang and she has a lot fans that love and support her. And #48 that was so uncalled for, you really need prayer!!!!!

SMDH @ THESE HATEFUL COMMENTS!

The song is my favorite on from her CD. I am disappointed in the direction of the video. It could have been so much more. Plus, this seems like a replica of past videos with Mary on mountains, waters, etc.

Why are you complaining about the song/vid? Mary is selling herself to you, not her music. If you were to take her music, alone there’s nothing that separates it from the stuff Keyshia Cole, Monica and Lil Mo are doing. The fact that she’s Mary is the “meat” of her records…You feel her and so you support her. When it comes to people giving you music you can “feel” and having an image/personal story you can “feel” BUT also being artistic and trying to turn out good music, Fantasia would seem the most likely candidate for your support.

I know what Hype/Mary were doing. One of the hardest season to deal with is winter. Hype, was using mountains scenery as too mountains to overcome visual. Not everyone will get that though, I married I get it!!! Lovin it!!

I got that the winter scenery was an extended metaphor for the “winter” season of marriage…the hard times and I didn’t hate the video…I just hate the song. It begins slow and boring, but mature and then in the second verse she goes back to High School with the almost rapping…and it’s just not a good song. None of Mary’s stuff is good, actually. She had one song on her last CD that everybody hated and I actually liked…it sounded like old school soul.

I LIKE THE SONG, BUT THE VIDEO IS BROKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mary is still here. 1.5 off one single. Off her name. Ya’ll can hate it or love it. She’s still here bitches. Damn near 20 years. Only her and Mariah and Brandy still holding it down for the 90s. The rest of these chicks are DOA.

I know I’m kinda late with posting this comment, but doesn’t this video look exactly like Keysha Cole’s video, exept it’s COLD??!!!!
I mean come on Mary!! She’s more creative with changing wigs than she was in this video!!!! I WISH I HAD 3 THUMBS SO I COULD GIVE IT 3 THUMBS DOWN!!!!
BOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Sorry to upset you Mary Fans, But I just GOTTA KEEP IT REAL!!!!

Again, MJB did not copy Keyshia Cole because Mary already had a video like this back in 1997. Keyshia’s “Heaven Sent” looks like Mary’s “Everything” video.

I love It! Mjb is Just simply irresistible! Stop Hatin! ANd lets not sAy Mjb is copying KC its tha other way around bitches!

I agree with #25 becuz “Heaven Sent” looks just like Mary’s video “Everything” but true Mary’s new video looks like Keyshia’s tho but altogether Mary is an icon so it really don’t matter but I love this song forreal I looooove it Mary is the Queen Of Hip-Hop Soul don’t forget it

song is definitely Fire, hot, spicy..but i do agree with the rest, whats up with this whack ass video???? Do Over please…Are these directors losing their creativity or something?? what is really good??? Mary, my love, please get another director. This video looks unthough of and careless. But i love this song.. Yessir!! Stay down…did you know..did you know…did you know…did you know…that you loookkkkkkkkk fabulous…………………………….I’ll admit Hype did a horrible job……..did you know…

like the video….. nice and simple….but can see the meanin behind it

Wow! I’m really feelin this song. Great choice for the second video. I actually enjoyed the video because of the song. The “Just Fine” video just made me laugh. This is the Mary I like. -LR

THIS SONG IS CLEN SHE NEED 2 MAKE MO LIKE THIS REAL TALK CUZZ
