Nah, though she is talented, Mary monetized the women's sense of victimhood. Women LOVE "man done me wrong" songs, and she made anthems! I used to tell guys, if they're taking their girl to a Mary J. concert, you'd better spit your BEST game during the first half of her show, because when she starts doing those victim anthems in the 2nd half, ain't NOBODY getting no pussy!!! Went to one of her shows, because my dude's band was opening for her and Jahiem, and while she was doing the 2nd half of her show,
chicks were walking looking like Onyx. Broads were mad for no reason.
