Yay Omarion can dance no doubt about that.

No mario unfortunately will not be performing. It was rumored that he might perform, but that was if he was kicked off sooner, I think.It's hard for the celeb to be on the show and perform at the same time. But I would love to see him perform maybe in the fall of DWTS , I think ABC at least owes him that much considering how Len totally dogged him out on the show.

But Mario should definitely be performing a dance routine tomorrow(although it may be very short), they usual do the finale result night so I guess we'll see

haven't heard anything bout Mario performing just Usher...

The usher performance was taped last week for tomorrow show. Yes, usher will be on tomorrow singing in the club and yeah.

You like'd the Omarion performance? I was like man, I know why your label dropped you. I thought the concept was good, but Micheal songs are not the easiest to sing, so I'll give Omarion a break. I thought Omarion did a big mistake breaking up with B2K. I think he's great as an ensemble but solo, not so much .But that's just me.

Usher is gonna be performing on DWTS ...maybe tomorrow but i'm not sure when...but O'Marion was really good last week Tuesday..he tore it up singing "Thriller"

Charlie_ I'm sure it will take a while to reach mega fan status, but I love to gab ,and I love mario so who knows.lol

Yay Kerry- Ty U again. Man that photo was hot. Hope you guys will tune it 2nite and tomorrow to see Mario on DWTS . I know for sure he'll be on tomorrow , they usually come out and dance a routine they did during the series. Usually the couples return for the finale(tonight) , so you might see him in the audience.

As for Usher, I enjoy his music, it's catchy. I think mario is a better singer. I'm really hoping for a hot hot single that just blows up for Mario ,he so deserves it, really and truly. But I know Mario is all about the music too, he's not just going to sell out for whatever is hot for the moment.So we'll see.

Again thanks Kerry for the photo, that was a real treat.

OMFG that picture of him is soooooooo HOT!!!!!!!!(I feel like I can't breathe) I hate that him with out a shirt makes brain malfunction and my heart beat so fast. And yes his performance @ the Hot 97 Full Frontal Hip Hop Fashion show was amazing .

you're welcome..just happy i can spread the joy that is Mario..lol...

ONE CHANCE NEW SINGLE "U CANT"~ ONECHANCEMUSIC.COM

i used to like Usher's voice. but he doesn't sing live like he does on CD. his voice is digitally created. i had lost interest when i saw him on Live in Atlanta and Clive Davis Pre Grammy. but i could be wrong since his voice might have improved after doing Broadway. it's a good voice training. Mario sounds the same with CD. sometimes he is even better than CD.

another thing is Mario sings Freestyle. but ive never seen Usher doing improvisation. and i don't think he can or will. his focus is not on vocal. if you are a young black male and sing and dance, you will be automatically compared to Usher. but they are very different artist in my book.

"vocally Mario will eat Usher up."

so true.

lol i know Carole i said the same thing when i saw it..made it my screensaver 2..lol..

I love Mario, but I love Usher's vocals too, because he's on point, and classic. Now that Usher's older, he's not the same anymore, but I still love him.

I htink they both vocally are somehwat different, but each are veryyyyy good, in their own way.

DAMNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN , no I didn't. Hot dammmmmmmmmmm. Sorry. I'm all smiles now. We don't get TV guide here in Canada anymore :( . Oh my lord. Okay I'll stop my drooling. Did I say DAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMN. Am I allowed to swear on here?? Sorry.

TY TY, you made my night, year everything :)

Okay wait a minute, what kind of pic is that? Hardly dancing with the stars material,but i ain't complaining. I swear those two were too hot for words. My lord!!

On a side note, I've finally made FAN status.woo hoo. lol. Sorry I get excited over stupid things. lol

lol...did u see the shirtless one in TV Guide?...YUMMYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yay I heard he was in Toronto where I live in Dec, I was in NYC! bad timing, and Jan he's was too far, it's like nyc to florida kind of thing!! lol. It wasn't close at all. But i'll get to see him soon I hope. Close enough to see sweat huh,(that's it) ?? Mmmm I want to see a whole lot more than sweat! lol. j/k . I want to see them Hugo Boss undies he has in the Vibe layout .

I heard he was one of the best performances at that Hot 97 show. Now that I have a job [cheeses HARD lol] I can buy tickets to when he comes to Philly.

hi Carole..2 bad you missed him when he was in Canada in Dec and Jan...but i'm sure he'll be back...i saw him twice and both times was really good...Mario is a really good performer, full of sexy energy..lol...i'm hoping to go to a few more this summer and i wanna be close enough to see sweat..lol..

Thanks for the shout out too Kerry. At this point if I get to see Mario live I'm happy with whatever he sings.You're lucky you've seen him perform. I hope i'll get too soon. My name is Carole

"no offense but i will sit on the floor if he sings Boom instead".....that's how i feel about COFM, love the song but PLEASE stop..and yes i know that right now it's the only hit on the album but if i hear it one more time i'm gonna stand in a corner and rock uncontrollably...lol..Mario honey for me PLEASE perform a different song at the next interview/TV appearance (almost in tears) i'm begging you!!!!

Kerry, i think he will sing it this summer. Go is the only one track that we can call it club banger. you need at least one or two in your tour. no offense but i will sit on the floor if he sings Boom instead. lol. well, i can jam to No Definition, too. but Go is stronger. i saw him singing Go on youtube when he was at the Supper Club, NY and Rum Jungle in Vegas. that was hot. Pharrell didn't arrange it too much, leaving it raw to showcase Mario's voice. i think Mario loves the beat, too.

Thanks for the welcome Charlie. I like GO too. Thanks for the heads up on the posts, i'll make sure I reach Fan status soon, I hate that newbie title. j/k.

Hi to you both, Charlie and Brickhouse...you can call me Kerry, Kerryann, Mario4rory, Rory...lol..doesn't matter to me....but Charlie i was rooting for "Go" to be a single 2 ..when i went to see him at House of Blues in AC and he did that song i almost died..lol..it sounds sooo nice live..i hope he puts it in his tour....

welcome to the board. i was a member of former Mario board but I'm a newbie in this forum, too.
actually, i love the song, Go. the words are one dimensional for me except him saying "i don't wanna meet your mother" guys are like that. i agree with Kerry. i enjoyed him mentioning it. lol. the beat is sick and i love the strings behind. i was a minority, hoping they would pick as a first single. we were so excited when it was leaked. i thought it's whole another level b/c Mario doesn't have a club hit yet. but the song (incl. Breathe and Crying Out For Me) was up on youtube in Oct. 2006. so it's not fresh anymore.

if you keep posting here more than 10, you become Fan. 15 will be Big Fan. lol. i dont know about Super Fan, maybe 50?

I'm with you mario4rory. I forgot about Lay in your bed, and I love Go too. But i understand the need to captialize on his recent exposure on Dancing with the Stars. He's gained alot of new fans, and to me fans are fans regardless of their colour. I agree nothing wrong with working on the new album, but to just jump into a new album without releasing some more songs on Go that in my opinion are pretty darn good., is a waste. I guess we might be the minority on here with respect to keeping Go alive. I love Music to Love and i'm anticipating the release of the video. Mario needs to improve his stage presense. I'm not expecting the level of Chris Brown because they are too different types of people. Mario sings and that's what I respect about him the most.But in this day and age I realize you can't just stand on your singing alone(which is pretty sad) but you have to incorporate a package, which I feel he's more than capable to do. I really believe his experience on DWTS will improve his overall performance level.

I would love him to do a really hot colloboration too. I can't believe how No Air is in heavy rotation. I didn't like the song at first but when you hear it 500 times a day.

I guess enough of my rambling.

P.S-I'm new to this forum, and after going over some prior post, I gather the fans know about where Mario will be at before it's posted official. Pretty funny actually. It's funny too beside my name, i'm labelled a "NEWBIE". Okay. lol

you know i love the "Go" album 2..i still see a few hits in it if it's done right...like "Lay in my bed" , that has serious possibility....outta all his albums i love his style the best with this one..and i know a lot of people don't really like the track Go but that's one of my favs..my very first review on this site was about how much i love the song Go....i say he should give this album alittle more time but still work on the new stuff...

I love the Go album. It's his best yet. I'm glad he's not cookie cutter like the rest. I do believe he doesn't get the respect he deserves. He much better than the ones mentioned on here. I would love if he releases a few more songs off the GO album. Right a Wrong is great, and even Go.

I believe Mario will stand the test of time. I have no doubt about it. I hope he doesn't succumb to the pressue and become a sell out to craft- SINGING!! . Continue to put out quality work.

Please lets not get into as I like to call them those "get-by-singers", like J-Lo, Ashanti, Britney and the rest of them...oh no! But thats been going on for years though. Image and the lastest popular or "hot" sound is what sells. Shoot look at Janet...now I love and adore Janet and what she does, she's like the black Madonna...lol but vocally come on, lets be serious people...

:::Listening 2::::Ledisi ~ "Alright":::::

the go album
has personally been my favorite album
but i think delaying things and having these songs
leaking causes people to lose patience not to mention interes

people keep saying that mario's music have the same tempo
all the time
i dont know if that's true or not
cause i can be bias when it comes to mario
but i love his music regardless
i just dont get why he isnt that popular
now if he does try to go make music with popular artist/producers
people will say that he is following them
but mario has always been about being himself and not
doing what everyone else doing at the moment
i wish him more success and better promotion
the boy deserves that much respect

i think that mario is a way better singer
than people like chris brown and usher
but they are better performers b/c their
camp have that main interest and actually
go out there to promote them (they are willing to put out the money and have their artist try different things)
im not saying that mario's camp dont do the same work
but you just dont see nor do you hear
about the fruits of those labors
what i dont understand that these people
dont get that no promotion equals to no sales
how is the boy suppose to broaden his fan base/horizon
if he has no true back up

how come we dont see mario's website selling t-shirts, or getting back to us about the winners of certain contest
it gets redundant and quite annoying when we always have to be the ones to find things out
where someone is getting paid to do that job but they are not doing it well
that's how we lost the I Team from myspace

i think that there's a difference between
being a great entertainer and a good performer
some people can getaway with just being an okay artist
b/c they have a huge fan base, or their style and hits are
what we call a hot commodity
people are going for what's hot right now and who's the
hottest producers out there to hang around or produce music with
there's nothing wrong with that as long as you play a role in
the way your musical career is heading
i know it cost money to have great productions and you
need people that are not only about making you popular but
who genuinely care enough to have your back and give you
good advice financially and career wise
for example i love the fact that jennifer lopez can dance and act
but to me, she's an okay singer
she gets around b/c she is popular & have alot of fans behind her
but it sure isnt for her singing

Yeah. As I've gotten older I've noticed Usher doesn't have the strongest vocals but he puts on a good show/performance. I think the only thing that Mario's slacking in is song writing. He's got a good body, nice vocals, can pick up choregraphy, cute, nice personality, good enough actor... he just doesn't write much.

Do you know what really boils my blood, Mario to me is a much better singer than Usher. Now don't get me wrong, I really like Usher alot. But like I said before if you really sit back and compare vocal styles and tonality, there are so many similarities between the two of them. I know there was some beef about that some years ago but still I just wish Mario's team would take that into consideration and knock Usher out the box! Because vocally Mario will eat Usher up. That's why I said to really take a good listen to Confessions I swear I could hear Mario killin' almost half of them songs!!!

He needs to drop Go promo all together and start working on a movie or something...this is getting ridiculous.

i am posting on "Current Album Sales" lol.

a little off topic.
as you know, Usher will sing a new song next week on DWTS. good promo because it is the finale. i was surfing inside youtube and i found out Chris Brown and Jordin Sparks official youtube are also promoting Usher. his pic and phone number appears on the top of their channel page. Chris and Jordin are label mate but Usher isn't, is he? Usher's production team is doing their job.

i've got frustrated again. Mario needs more promotion. i was expecting ABC might invite Mario as a musical guest this week. but it didn't happen.
