After the New York Native sang background vocals for various artists, she released her debut solo album "What's the 411?" In 1988. Her impressive cover of Anita Baker's "Caught Up in the Rapture" landed 17-year-old Blige a contract with Uptown Records.

The "Queen of Hip-Hop Soul" caught the attention of the music industry at an early age (via Britannica). Blige is one of the most influential artists of her generation. Beyonce could never compare, regardless of how perfect she or her fans think she is.Mary J. She can sing with the likes of Andrea Bocelli to U2 to Jada, Fab, Meth, and still rep for us out here in the Jungle. Someone who understands the STRUGGLE, unlike “miss perfect” Beyonce who grew up prvilaged in her perfect little world in Dallas Texas. Yes Mary is from the hood and will forevery rep the hood, no matter how successfull. First it was POP, then the dislusional Michael Jackson comparison, now r&b? GTFOH! Beyonce must earn whatever she gets just like all the rest. You all sound foolish, stupid, ignorant and immature trying to fight an r&b battle now. Running around like a rat on a wheele, chasing after something but don’t know what. Beyonce stans have problems with every female singer out. So now what? Y’all wanna take off and run for another crown right? Well it won’t work. What happened to the POP crown she and all her stans were counting on? It crashed and burned, is what happened. Trying to force a title on her will not work. SITīeyonce stans are just as bad as she is. We don’t take her serious as an artist, only as an entertainer. Why? Because she’s only good for “Countdown” ” Single Ladies” and “Crazy In Love”… THE PEOPLE ONLY WANT WIG SHAKING AND BOOTY POPPIN FROM HER. This is suppose to be Beyonce’s deepest album (Rather Die Young, Start Over, 1+1, Love On Top and I Care) yet the people are failing to buy it. And this is the chick you claim is ‘King’ or ‘iconic’? Chile, she has to release every song on her album just to convince the world that she’s relevant. Here we are a month after the release date and her album still hasn’t sold (1) million in the U.S. Im just sick of the Beyonce stans attacking every post claiming that Beyonce is queen.

Mary is named Queen of HIp Hop Soul & R&B. Mary has 9 albums that have each sold atleast 1million copies worldwide. Mary sold 700k albums first week without a #1 single. Listen here you Beyonce stans, these comparisons need to stop. Nicole Scherzinger – Right There : 438.000

Yes I’m a fan of Bey also, but BEY AND MARY ARE IN A DIFFERENT LEVEL, DON’T GET IT TWISTED, Mary been out 20 + years now, she had been having # 1 R&B ALBUMS since 1992- 2008, so you should do some research. You comparing Beyonce to Mary J Blige- ARE YOU DUMB? Mary can out sing Bey any day. She doesn’t have to put a gimmick to sell records.ħ. SHE CAN SING LIVE WITHOUT FOOLISH AUTOTUNE!!! NO Sexual Acts aka lap dancesĦ. Dropped What’s The 411? and killed the scene since then.ĥ. She got noticed by Diddy when he was working Uptown Records, did back up singing for JODECIĤ. She did backup singing for hip hop great- Father MC in 1988 ft. She grew up in NY, with all the crazyness around herĢ. Mary is respected, let me break it down :ġ. They are too into the b******* crap music that they think it “REAL MUSIC” now. How old are you? You must be a youngin, and as usual, these youngins don’t appeciate real music.
