How long has Mary been on the whole "i have had such a tough life , i have been through so much" etc etc tip ... Good Lord , enough ! we get it already. This relates to my second point , why do people hold her on such a high pedestal because of what shes been through , shes a singer and a musician right , why cant people big her up on her musical talents. Imo she is just another average rnb singer with a gimmick, which is her tough background.
As for Robin Thicke , just generally dont like much of his music.
I can care less about her background really, she does throw it out there but it is her voice Im hooked too. Whatever though, you have your taste I have mine.
