MJB Goes In On Her Band At Pre-Grammy Bash

Mary J Blige got a touch of the divas at the start of her set at the pre-Grammy party last night.
Apparently MJB publicly humiliated her band in front of an audience that included recording industry titans and some of the biggest names in rock. Mary lost her cool as, ironically, she was about to sing her hit song “No More Drama.”
According to zimbio.com, as the band struck up the number’s intro, she told the musicians to stop, waved her arms angrily and demanded: ‘Can we get the right music for Mary J Blige?’
She added: ‘Are we practicing still?’
The audience stared at her in disbelief as it is not considered the done thing to criticise your band – all top of the line professionals – at such an event.
The room felt cool towards her during her set.
Mary you want want to tone it down a bit!!!

Mary J stop having bad days of slapping your husband and yelling @ your band. We love you No more Drama lady.
masculine31
Dat was Ricky Minor, Mary J…had better be careful…her records already aint selling…lol
valandy32
PEOPLE PEOPLE, STOP HATING ON MJB. WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT IF SHE CAN SING OR NOT BUT ABOUT HER ATTITUDE TOWARD HER MUSICIAN. AND PERSONNALY I THINK SHE CAN REALLY SING. SO PEOPLE WHEN U WILL BE ABLE TO SOLD LIKE A 40 MILLION ALBUM OVER THE WORLD, PERHAPS UR OPINION WILL MATTER BUT UNTIL THAT DAY IT WON’T. THAT THE PROBLEM WITH BLACK PEOPLE ALWAYS TRYING PUTTING PEOPLE DOWN .FOR ALL THE MJB HATER TELL ME SOMETHING, CAN ANY OF U SING? EVEN IF SHE CAN T SING AT LEAST SHE MAKING MONEY . CAN U SAY THE SAME, I DON T THINK SO. THE ONLY THING U CAN DO IS TO WHINNING AND HATING ON OTHER BLACK PEOPLE. THAT SO PATHETIC.
DameDivalicious
@LastManStandingTall
Yes, I saw that too and she look like she stress out her vocal doing that.
@Bee3ntertained
LMAO on your imitation of MJB.
@savvy
I too used to work in the business so you are right on target. Been around lots of musicians and studios they really do work hard through rehearsals for hours. Today artists should be lucky when they mess up or cannot sing a lick because that’s where musicians saved them. People think MJB acts like this all the time but I’m wondering if she is burned out or have some private matter bothering her so bad she can barely focus. She did punched her husband in public which was so unlike her. See what I mean? Time for her to take a real vacation from touring and performing on all those talk shows and so on.
PRETTYMUCH
excuse me did you forget this is the queen…..she can do whatever she deem necessary and none of you low lifes can say sh@#!!!!!!! even that sad azz band cant be mad…..shudda got it right….this is mary…hello
marleyshotta
that b***h needs a smacking!!!!
undralique
I personally don’t think what she did was wrong. I’ve been singing background,leading, and in the choir and if something isn’t right that you know of you have to correct them. She could of been less crass about it but she did what she did. I’ve had seen my mother who was a choir director and pianist in the church stop the choir and start all over in the middle of the song,during services. It was embarrassing but we got it straight afterwards. Also I think from where she came and how she sounds now you can tell she does get vocal lessons and sounds ten times better.
nayatha
lastmanstanding was all that necessary???? the woman had a bad day, can’t we just leave it like that.. for all you know they already kiss and made up… bitter nukka
missstrings43
Savvyd, you made it plain on that one love.
Musicians today will not play for you ever ever ever again if you do this kind of hell. Musicians have an attitude that won’t quit and since there ARE sooo many artist out here who will pay dearly for music to make them look better at what they do in their shows, you best recognize! … and don’t trippp.
Mary has been through some things ..yes.. but hell we all have. She does not get a candy striper award for her life because she has a microphone in front of her mouth.
Hopefully this too will be another lesson learned.
(but why why why ..who in the helll gave her a microphone? They need a new hearing aid..unless of course..(ON THE FLIP SIDE)..they were thinking that the MUSIC and EQUIPMENT would be able to cover up all of the bad notes coming out of her mouth.)
Ok ok., I’m thu. Mary Mary Mary, she would be a great housewife and mother..I wish that she would go do that.
savvyd
I am not a big fan o MJB either, but as from formerly being in the musc game, it was unprofessiona for her to have dissd her band. That stuff gets around, and for sme musicians, the money ain’t worth the humiliation, and most of the bidwigs ain’t gonna hav no diva attitudesin their orgaizations. Think I am kidding, get a diva attitude on Diddy and see how far you go.
Successonmymind
WHAT THE FLOCKA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AliceMarie1968
Your right missstrings43 if it wasn’t for the backups and the band some of those artists will sound like crap..I guess Mary was having a bad day or something but I like mary she is a blessed sister that have came a long way..and I hope she keeps on striving ..keep a cool head Mary
ms_bbw07
well ppl u knew this was coming nbecause u give someone not just black people a little fame and money and sooner or later the b***hness comes out there is always a way to say things to ppl
missstrings43
Musicians make mistakes too though. Tact does still work today and is still quite effective.
On top of the fact seriously, Mary needs some more vocal coaching.
It’s just NOT there.
Her musicians on stage and in the studio in my honest opinion are making her sound better than she actually does.
God bless her though. The fans are keeping her where she is. (although, I really don’t know why).
benelson
Although I am not a fan of MJB…In my opinion she can not sing, but as a professional musician I can tell you that she had every right to do what she did. If the musicians can not get their act together to back up the lead singer correctly, it is up to the Musical Director or the singer to correct her musicians whether it is live on stage or not. If these musicians where soooo professional they would not have to be chastised in the first place. They would have got it right the first time out.
MistressSpain
She just punched her husband in the face on camera, do you really think she has any shame in her game??? Does this really surprise everyone?
ashantimr
She can’t sing anyway
BabyGyrl810
why would she tone it down?? she’s been this way since the beginning of time! stop the bulls**t… like kim said…”SHUT UP B*TCH”! AND I wouldnt call it her being a ” ghetto black bytch”…its more like she’s staying true to who she is….i swear there is just no pleasing black folk….if she would’ve changed, and became this sweet, innocent person, then we all would be hollering that she is a sell out and this, that ,and the other…she stayed the same person, grew up and matured all the same, yet she gets called a “ghetto black bytch”….interesting….i swear black ppl quick to tear down their own race, faster than any other race..no type of unity what so ever….and we wonder why ppl like tiger woods dont wanna say they’re black…
Bee3ntertained
yes move un hu…..give the queen some room ……yall heard me the first time b***hes get my s**t right what i look like trina……im the motha f**kin queen of hip hop and r&b up in this b***h so yall betta represent…….
Kashi101
this just isn’t news in relation to mary. she’s always looked and acted that way
LastManStandingTall
Speaking of the Grammys, MJB sounded like straight-up doo-doo next to that classical singer, Andrea Bocelli. She can’t sing anyway, but her lack of vocal skills was AMPLIFIED next to a REAL singer. The man was hitting his notes effortlessly while MJB was struggling to sing with him and even keep up with him.
She actually sucked the lifeforce out of that beautiful song. I love the first part of the song, before that overrated, crackhead queen of drama came in and fucced-up the rest of it (LOL). She was trying to be Aretha, but her attempt was an EPIC FAIL!
Watch it again and you’ll see what I mean.
LastManStandingTall
I guess it is true:
You can take the black bytch out of the ghetto, but you can’t take the ghetto out of the black bytch…
missstrings43
I AM SORRY but I am still trying to figure out why this singer ever became a singer. I just saw her in I can do bad all by myself and she is a pretty good actress and that is where I honestly believe is her calling.
As far as temper tandrums on stage..that is the characteristic of every musician in the world. We are all fickle as hell. One day we can be hot and the next day we can be as cold as ice.
This type of attitude has absolutely nothing to do with the church mentality. This is all music.
