Mary and her team is strategically planning her return to the forefront after their Burger King chicken snack PR nightmare. One thing that separates a Pro from a Rookie is the sustainability and we all know Mary hasn’t been in the game for 10 years just for the HELL OF IT!

From her latest album “MY LIFE II” here’s a sneak peek of Mary’s latest single “Why” featuring the BOSS, Rick Ross. This is definitely one of Mary’s radio friendly tracks and the Urban stations should EAT IT UP!

Over the weekend, the 138th annual Kentucky Derby took place in Louisville, KY. The Queen of Hip-Hop & R&B Mary J Blige took to the stage to sing the National Anthem to a record breaking 165,000 Derby attendees. Back in March, Blige performed the anthem at the NBA All-Star game and was criticized harshly by blogs and  music critics for what some considered a very pitchy performance but this time around, Mary J Blige totally slaaaaayed (in a good way) the anthem!!!

The women with their over-the-top Derby hats and men all screamed and cheered at Mary J Blige’s rendition. Check out the performance after the jump. Read the full story

By now if you are a part of any of the popular social networking sites like Twitter, Facebook, or Tumblr, you’ve probably seen the now infamous Mary J Blige Burger King ad as she wailed the lyrics ““Crispy chicken, fresh lettuce, three cheeses, ranch dressing wrapped up in a tasty, flour tortilla” , singing about the new crispy chicken wrap. After a herd of complaints from fans and ordinary people rolled in from twitter and YouTube , Burger King quickly took the video down and Mary later released a statement that the end product of the commercial was not what she had expected. Some even went as far to say that the commerical was racial and stereotypical of a black person. But nevertheless that’s not what I’m here to disccuss. Read the full story

While Mary J Blige continues to work on her much anticipated 10th studio album, “My Life II: The Journey Continues”, the Queen of Hip Hop and R&B continues to make her mark in the music industry and Hollywood with a brand new music video from the lead single “The Living Proof” to the motion picture “The Help” which hit theatres today.

Mary looks amazing and the lyrics to the song and video captures from the movie tell a lot about the storyline for “The Help” and makes viewers want to go to see the movie. I don’t think they could have chosen a better artist to perform this song. Check out the video after the jump.  Read the full story

After the dullest performance of the night from Country singer Taylor Swift, the fancy crew, MAry J Blige, Swizz Beats, and Drake came and save the show with their performance of “You Fancy – The Remix”. It’s amazing to see all of the new artist and older artist that’s been out (especially black women) and to see Mary J Blige still on the top!

Check out the performance below.

Jazmine Sullivan’s “Holding You Down” has been burning up the radio airwaves and blazing the nightclubs. Swizz Beats and Mary J Blige has jumped on the Missy Elliott produced track for the remix.

While many people look at Beyonce, Britney Spears, Janet Jackson, and others as the queens of tours, the Queen of Hip-Hop & R&B, Mary J Blige, can’t be denied her own righteous spot as well. Mary has been headlining her own shows since 1998 with 8 tours to date and while they have’nt been glamorous circus themes, 100+ dancers, acrobats hanging from the sky type shows, the shear HEART & SOUL of Mary’s music has been the basis of Mary selling out shows over and over again.

Mary’s last album “Stronger with Each Tour” came out in 2009 and like her past albums many of her fans where expecting a tour to come along with it. No worrys, it appears that Mary is gearing up for her Fall tour now and with that comes a few spot date announcements via www.maryjbligeeveryday.com. For the U.K. fans, you can see Mary J Blige at the O2 in London on November 2nd. Priority tickets go on sale tomorrow at 9am. You can get yours here…

In other MJB news, Mary confirmed earlier this week that she is working on her 10th studio album. In the studio with producer Swizz Beats, the two proclaimed that her next album will be Whats The 411 on another level!!! It makes sense for her to go back to the 411 on her 10th studio album! Are you excited? I am!
