I’m kinda over Mary…like really. I usually cop
her albums for my moms..
&
That AT&T commercial…babbbyyyy lol
I ain’t even mad at ya hustle Mary

i actually like it….yea im first

@ 2 Yeah I do kinda like that AT&T commercial thou.! LoL

The song is ok..in a way

WOW great song, Chris Brown wrote this and you can hear him in the background vocals!!!

Wow… I like it… Not expecting this sound from her… I really, really like it! Go Mary!

LOVEEEE IT
For what i heard Chris Brown wrote the song and Polow was the producer.
Love Chris voice in the back

That was HOT! At first I thot it sounded like a song meant for like a Jordin Sparks, but Mary sells me on it, and makes it her song.

I LOVES ME SOME MARY

THIS WAS OK, FOR ME MAYBE A FEW MORE LISTENS

I’M INTRIGUIDED(spelling?) TO HEAR MORE.

Good Look Mary!!! Get it Girl.

I really like the song, and Chris must be on his grind in the studio to co-write something grown up like this.

Mary J jusqu’à la mort !!

Lyrically the song is brilliant, but when I listen to this version all I hear is Mary hollering. Dont get me wrong, Mary is talented, but I liked it much better when Esther Dean sung her part. Big ups to Mr. Brown though. Maybe this version will grow on me.

Mary needs to stop with the Auto tune…
We wanna hear the grit and soul in your voice MJB! Not the perfect blandness that’s all over the radio now…

That sounds great. I love Mary and this is a different unique sound… want to hear more like this!

What the fuck did they do to her voice ? She sounds like a fucking computer. Pitch correction ruined what would have been a great song. 3/5 SMH

i love it. its a really good song for that documentary.

Love this song, cant believe chris help write this. Im so proud of him. Completely different sound from mary love it.

Love Chris Voice in the Back - Think he did well writing too

I love Mary to death but this is not hot…

I love me Some Mary.. Go Girl.
Love the track.

CORRECT THIS POST KERI HILSON WRITE THIS SONG

KERI HILSON WROTE THIS SONG AND CHRIS DIDN’T CO WRITE, HE JUST DID BACK GROUND VOCALS!

No she didnt chris brown and ester dean wrote this song, the demo is on youtube. Its been confirmed that they wrote this song.

This song is sooooo pretty. I thought Chris woulda had his own verse but actually him just backing up the vocals on the hook was just the right touch. Makes me wish I could sing this to my hubby, cuz we goin thru it right now…best to Mary and Breezy

Alrite Mary!

Her voice definitely sounds strong as Hell!

love it!! Can’t wait to pick up the CD!!

I actually like the unfinished version a lil better because you could hear the pain almost in there voices.

i meant their

I KINDA LIKE IT

Hmm.. It’s a nice song… I don’t expect this album to be as good as The Breakthrough I think she actually may need to take a break for a sec then come back really STRONGER.

I heard this song a long time ago but I like it. =]

This song is amazing! Very powerful with some deep meaning behind it, obviously since CB wrote it with Ester Dean not too long after he and Rih-Rih reunited.

“I’m laying my life on the line.”
“They say we won’t make it, but guess what we made it, and we got ‘em wondering how.”
“No more running scared closing my eyes.”
“I get on my knees to make sure that He knows that I’m grateful for what He gave me.”

Beautifully deep. Go Mary and go Chris Brown! She sounds amazing and he’s really growing as a songwriter. If he keeps this up, I’ll definitely be checking for his new album.

I like it!!

Tiara he wrote this last year,

Yea this is the song he wrote for him and rih, it was written before the incident tho.

It’s decent i stopped listening to Mary in ‘04 tho but she’s still a legend in my book!

Hey I get to screen the Lebron movie next week yipee!!!

I LIKE KERIS BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

who is esther dean????

Very nice song with inspirational lyrics. Chris Brown is a pretty good songwriter. This is like the 3rd good song I’ve heard he has co-written. I do wish that Mary would return to Hip hop soul she’s known for and work with other producers besides Darkchild. He ’s a good producer, but I haven’t like much of his songs lately. I will still check for Mary’s album as I always do though.

I LOVE it

ester dean is a song writer, if you can remember back to when chris was seen coming out of the tattoo shop with natalie he said he was with dean, thats who he was talking about. They have work together before.

I looove this song!! I am so glad Mary is going to release it! Her version was always my favorite and this will be a good look for CB! Chris is a really talented songwriter, people just don’t realize it! He has a lot more grown up songs out that people haven’t heard yet, but they will be surprised to know he wrote. I think the song will do really well for her!

@ MESHA - Chris Brown co-wrote the song with Ester Dean. Why would he JUST do background vocals for the hell of it? LOL! Just like he did background vocals for Disturbia. He wrote the song.

I luv this song too! Mary and CB did a good job! I heard this was the song that Chris and Rih Rih were supposed to record together, but got canceled after the fight! Can you imagine Rihanna’s God awful voice trying to sing this! She would have murdered it ad not in a good way! Ugh! I shudder at the though! Go Queen Mary!

I meant ‘and’ & ‘thought’!

hahaha LMAO @ 46. ME DAMNIT…yea i can’t picture her singing this song either

love the song, tooooo bad CB is a batter ughhhhh, work it MARYYYYYY

I’m tired of women ta

Who cares if Mary uses autotone? We all know she can sing without it. When she sings this live you will still feel the emotion that MJB always brings in her music.

LMAO @ Me damnit! I know right! I heard that too! How in the hell any one could think lil miss forehead would have pulled this song off is beyond me! She would have butcherd it worst than she did on Jay-z’s track! I know she was his boo (at the time) but don’t be giving her songs she can’t handle!

Um…No. 49… do you mean ‘batterer’? How you gon try to diss some one and then miss spell words! People, please leave your personal opinions of CB out of this and just comment on the song! Whether you like it or not he is still gonna have a career. If you don’t like him, don’t support him! That’s all you can do! All the nasty lil comments aren’t necessary and clearly aren’t working!

i like it , But she’s the reason why ,,,,,due to her life

im sorry but mary i just wack to me. her current stuff is just lame. plus she has no personality nor looks to drag you in.

please mary retire!!!

LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEE ITTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!

Rihanna’s lame ass wouldn’t have been able to pull this off if Melissa’s quick weaves depended on it.

go chris..he is one talented boy..cant hold him down!!!!

love the song….

he just wrote half a song! no hate or anything but people should go and look at some real songwiters

‘no more running scared’ love it. And if CB wrote this he’s good.

So touching..I shed a tear and I love it!!

Love the song. Mary did a great job…I don’t know why polow is getting credit tho. To my knowledge Hit-Boy produced this track his self. Well he is signed to polow/zone4. This song should do well tho. Nice track

Lyrics –> Mary J Blige Stronger Lyrics

I LOVE MARY!!!

Song is great!

I love this song. Hopefully it will be released as a single. Not really feelin her current single… But I love Mary!!!

I LOVE this song! Mary’s has so much emotion in it! And for whoever thinks Keri’s version is better, so did I at first, but once Mary’s version grows on you, Keri starts to sound worst than forehead (Rihanna). Mary’s version will definitely grow on you, you just have to listen to it a couple times.

Great to see all the Chris fans here to represent our boy! He’s an excellent songwriter allready and he can only get better! WLY Chris!!!!!

Can you imagine Mary J Blige singing Umbrella and ruining it???

Mary J Blige would have murdered Umbrella and not in the good way.

Rihanna and Mary and have different voices that suit dofferent songs..

Rihannas voice is not “awful” shut SHUT OFF and drive off a cliff.

Rihannas voice won her Grammy: musics highest honor so suck on that hater

stfu rih would have ruined this song

@66 mary could’ve pulled off umbrella. it just wouldn’t have sounded the same b/c that song is suited for someone who lacks pipes. and a lot of undeserving people win grammy’s. that’s why i stopped watching the show. it got sickening

anyway this is a cute song. happy mary is changing her sound and chris did a good job on the writing

You guys should hear Keri Hilson’s version of the song.To me Keri version sounds more fresh and flowing singing this but don’t get it twisted, Mary is blowing this song too.Chris Brown really is a good writer.He probably could just be behind the scenes writing/producing if he wanted to and still make money like that.

Rihanna’s contribution to the music industry and songwriters (The-Dream) helped win her a grammy!!! Plus she’s gorgeous and her voice is totally unique.She has star power for days and it don’t take all day to recgonize sunshine!!! I think ya’ll know what I mean by that so if you like MJB and RiRi then keep showing your support w/o knockn’ these other artists down.Some people just sound better singing on certain tracks than others that’s all.

No. 66: Rihanna voice ain’t win her no grammy! She won that Grammy cause The Dream wrote a hot song! It didn’t have anything to do with vocal ability cause she doesn’t have any!!! Umbrella was originally written for Britney Spears, another ’singer’ with no vocal ability! Britney and Rihanna are in the same category as far as ’singers’ with lil to no actual talent, so you give them a song with catchy lyrics and a hot beat that’s really easy to sing like Umbrella-ella-ella-ella-eh-eh-eh-eh! I mean come on that song had what, two notes throughout the entire song! Mary passed on that song cause it was too pop for her! Mary is a soul singer, she actually could have put some feeling into it! So once again, Rihanna would have butchered, murdered, mutiliated, destroyed, crucified, chewed up then spit out this beautifully written song! Autotune is Rihanna’s best friend, and without it she ain’t shit!!! Her lil ass is lucky Mary and Britney passed on Umbrella or else it would have been “Rihanna who?” cause that song put her on the map! Mary has paid her dues!! All her stans fall back, cause you know it’s true!!

Ummm Teresa you need to practice what you preach! You could just comment on the song and keep it moving too without your little bullsh*t opinion about Rihanna! She will still have a career too whether you like it or not! Hypocrite!

CHRIS NEEDS TO STICK TO SONG WRITING BECAUSE THAT NIGGA CAN’T SING EITHER! HE SOUNDS LIKE SH!T ON THAT BACKGROUND! RIHANNA AND CHRIS ARE ON THE SAME LEVEL VOCALLY! SO CHRIS STANS CAN FALL BACK TOO.

Keri’s Is way better…Keri’s sound refreshing and flows better.
Mary J’s is good ,but her’s is a little to over the top-

BTW “Keri did write this along w/ Polow” the correct demo features jus them 2!!!!
on this one u can clearly here chris, but the other version is polow!
