Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0008811160623 Label: Mca Manufacturer: Mca MPN: 11606 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Mca Release Date: April 22, 1997 Studio: Mca Editorial Review: Amazon.com: The combination of Mary J. Blige with strong material is one of the few guarantees of excitement in today's R&B world. Rather than stuff her lines with showy streams of notes like too many post-Patti LaBelle divas, Blige sings the song. Even when she breaks into melisma, it feels like the direct result of an overflow of emotion and not the bad habit of a vocalist steeped in It's Showtime at the Apollo! Like the 1994 My Life, Share engages in lots of self-affirmation in between its bouts with drama, fate, and the enemies of love--especially when the star takes pen in hand, as on "Keep Your Head." As if to confirm Blige's toughness, the strongest cut here is Babyface's over-it "Not Gon' Cry." --Rickey Wright Average Rating:
 Rating:  - THE BEST ALBUM MARY J BLIGE EVER MADETO BE HONEST THIS IS MY FAVORITE MARY J BLIGE CD HANDS DOWN TO ME THIS IS THE BEST ALBUM MARY J BLIGE EVER MADE IN HER CAREER Rating:  - Not BadI only wanted this album for one song and the rest of it wasn't bad but you really have to be a Mary J. Blige fan to appreciate all the songs. It's okay. Rating:  - Great Mary Album But No "My Life" This Mary J. Blige album was great but wasn't flawless like "My Life", and "The Breakthrough". The album would've been better without " Searching" and " Can't get you off My Mind". The first half of the album was flawless but it ended on a good note with "Not Gon Cry and " Our Love". This album is definitely needed for the Mary fans and R&B fans. Rating: - Not one of her best.......I had lost all of my CD's and am now trying to rebuild my collection. I'm a big Mary fan, but forgot that this particular CD was on the mediocre side. Rating: - ...This could've been Mary J.'s best if she just cut off a few songs. The first ten or so tracks are absolutely flawless. The hits just keep on coming and you are just like... 'man, this one is a classic." Then as the album winds down, there are quite a few trite, extremely repetitive filler songs. This is proven with lyrics like "keep your head to the sky/ I don't need to tell you why." (That's the chorus). The Lox make an unappreciated appearance. Luckily, the album ends with the great "Not Gon' Cry." ... Read More |
