Wow...I still love mario as a artist....This was probably something that he just recorded for fun but somehow ended up on the tube....I did'nt like how he Used the B word but hey we would'nt have knew it if the vid. was'nt put out there......Its in the past though. I still think that he is a Down to earth person and until i meet him in person i really cant say how he is

ONE CHANCE NEW SINGLE "U CANT"~ onechancemusic.com

Still talking about the same stuff? Let it roll. If anyone feels Mario has acted inappropriately, let them feel so, however, it would be nice if we could move forward. Seeing the same ish gets me smdh.
Can someone come up with s'thing else to talk about, like whats new with them, if anything. How'bout I go first. Did Jay & B really get married? And is it cos she was pregnant (as I read in a goss mag) They dont seem to be wearing rings tho, so.....

Stll listenin' to "Circle" by Marques Houston and lovin' it!

I'm just put it like this, whats done is done. Mario seems to be like every other 20-21yrs old male with a video phone. I mean really how many guys you know don't have some old crazy stuff of themselves and or some random female on thier phones. Its not really that serious. It doesn't take away from all his good and great qualities as an artist in my book. So its pretty much water under the bridge. But that doesn't mean I won't tune in again to get a good laugh in.

Ya Kerry, I've done some dumb things too. As I said i'll cut him some slack. I'm not saying what he said and did in the video is right but it's a first time offence.Now if he does it again ,then i'll be questioning his character. I like to say that I separate the man from the music but sometimes you can't, case in point R.Kelly. , and I really don't want to quit Mario because I think he's geniunely a decent human being, so please don't prove me wrong Mario. :(

i agree with you...i know i've done some foolish crap on my phone just because i was bored..lol....so who am i to judge...

......Chrisette Michelle......

I'll chime in although I'm new. The video didn't shock me, it just reforced to me he's human. An interview i read , his dance partner said that Mario didn't take to being told what to do by a female. She said when she was strict with him they butted heads and his male ego came out.She thought it had alot to do with his upbringing and not having any authority figure around and I tend to agree.He said how he usually just able to remove himself from the situation if it's something he doesn't want to deal with ,but he couldn't do that his time.(well he could have, look at the soprano guy who lefts DWTS because it was too much) He's(mario) a complex young man. I don't condone his use of the b words,but is it something that shocks me? No.
What i'm not impressed with is taping this. He has to understand in the age of youtube you have to be careful. But this was done what early 2007 , he would have been 20yrs?. And although 20yrs for most females is mature, 20yrs for a male is pretty young regardless of how mature he is in certain aspects of his life. He's still a kid trying to live a grown up life. He's a work in progress and I'll cut him some slack, now if he was 30yrs and doing this ? I would definitely question his character . I agree with those on here, there's two sides of mario. I do believe he's a sweet caring person but we've seen the other side. Who here doesn't have dual personalities?Or done something in our late teens early twenties that we regret.?

of course your life comes first. i also was away from the board long time. nobody would like to ask you to come on here if you get caught up with something in your life. but it doesn't mean we didn't have a better life bcuz we were worrying about Mario on dwts. altho, i had lost usual Mondays while he was competing. but it was fun. now i have them back. :)

i wasnt actually talking to you charlie, i was talkin to whoever was asking me where i was when you guys were worrying about mario!

Gosh, some people just totally misunderstand the script. Charlie asked a simple question and lo and behold you misunderstand it and blow it out of proportion. ".....pls I HAVE A LIFE...".

Really? You dont say!

Listenin' to "Circle" by Marques Houston and lovin' it!

I'm not talking about who knows him better or longer. it's boring to discuss. i was simply asking if you know when you found out he was d**khead. i was curious cuz i remember someone said Mario was like Barry White(?) on some radio show in Europe when he was 16 or smth.

There is nothing wrong with concern about him and DWTS. the show has 20 millions of viewers. and anyone outside US can watch him on YouTube forever. it's fast and effective way that we can think of to introduce Mario to the world, if he and his ppl want cross over success. and it's also good for his foundation if he gets some recognition from the show. especially, where MTV is shrinking in the business now. there is no more MTV Awards in Radio City.

BTW, Dancing With The Stars is never dance contest. it's always popularity contest. Mario stayed long enough as the youngest contestant ever. the 22 yr male model got kicked off in week 2 last season. and Sabrina Bryan, who is 23 and has far more advanced dance skills than Mario, was a goner in week 6. if the viewers didn't see Mario had likable personality, he wouldn't have survived until week 8.

pls, I HAVE LIFE! I have better things to worry about than dwts!
Neways i didnt really find him intimidating, but i did notice he's kinda stuck up, when he said he was an artist and they asked if he painted and he was getting pissed, like 'are you tryna say you dont know who i am' not everybody knows who he is!!! please! Well I guess its ok with you guys if someone is arrogant, pompous, stuck up, and rude, as long as the person is 'being himself'!

i don't want him pretending too much anymore. but he has Do Right Foundation and stuff. what if the kids who look up to him find out these things? maybe it's better if he still keeps a certain image. but not overly.

i guess its better for him to be himself
than anything else
besides cameras cant always be in your face
and this is the time for him to be who
he wants to be and say what he wants to say

Wow, I wasn't gone but for a minute...lol

But yeah, I still feel for a minute I was invading his privacy by watching this... I was thinking WHO does this? Maybe someone had it out for Mars or something....Anyways, I still find that he's actually being HIMSELF in the videos...Which is why I don't find them the least bit offensive.

Mario's doing HIM...and I hope that for the sake of his career, he drops the promo for M4L and starts fresh with a new album. It's time to let a dream defered DIE.

Love you to pieces though Mario... I still think he needs to take a page from Rihanna's handbook because that chick is EVERYWHERE. And, so is Chris Brown...for those of you saying that those two are dating, they aren't...he's on the low with the management, his body language says "I don't want to be around you" in that said "kissing photo" of those two lol

"did you see the last DWTS confession that Mario did, when he was like " We just want to entertaaaaainnnn!" I fell out when he said that"

i just went over to watch confessionals. i couldn't last week. lol. he is so hyper! ya, i got it. virgo man... lol.

i think i have known he is not all that sweet sometimes. i was intimidated and a little scared when i saw him on Punk'd. of course he was POed, he was set up. it's not fair for him. but you know what? i was turned on at the same time. lol. he was so beautiful when he got angry.

but he never cursed in Punk'd. not a single word of shyt or f*ck. i was more impressed than i was intimidated by that.

Hi Y'all! I've been screening this morning while catching up on posts from the last few days I have not been able to get online this weekend. This is a long post, because the topics raised have deeply touched me.

Last week, I looked at the "toilet" video, and the "cereal" video but apparently did not pay attention to the full extent, and I had to keep the audio low so I could keep my job!

I will take everyone's word for the language attributed to M and leave it at that. I don't condone certain slang used for women or African Americans, but this is a free country.

Here is what I think beyond the language:

These were amateur, private videos that were apparently never intended for public consumption. "Private" meaning that they were probably only done for fun or personal use, and not for "reviewing." I doubt that M released these himself.

Who among us wants to be judged for behavior, language and acts we conduct during our private moments or with close friends? I know I don't. I can be appropriate in a public setting, but more "earthy" in my private conversations.

Mario has had an usual upbringing, in that it seems that he only had the limited famly rearing of his grandmother until her death when he was 12. After he got into the music business in his teens, he was basically raised on the run. Who knows the h@ll this young man has been through, or what he was exposed to at too early an age. And, who knows how much he has missed in terms of solid parenting.

I think that all things considered, he has turned out to be a remarkable young man. You cannot fake the persona we all witnessed on DWTS. You either have that within you or you don't. A thug would have acted totally differently on the night he was voted off. You know what I'm talking about!

My point is, let's not judge lest we be judged. I love Mario. All of him. And I will be accepting of the person he has become now, and allow that he is human with faulst just like us all. Plus, you know that pure genius and prodigy like his often come with some amount of baggage.

Let's support him the way we hope to be supported by those who observe us from afar without even knowing us.

I know this is a little off topic, just a little, but did you see the last DWTS confession that Mario did, when he was like " We just want to entertaaaaainnnn!" I fell out when he said that...LMAO! With that said yes I do agree, Virgo men much like most people have sorta split personas it all depends on the surroundings. I just hope that MarMar's more of that debonair sweetheart we all love.

:::Listening 2::::Ledisi ~ "Best Friend":::::

I agree with Charlie

I'm sure he has that really sweet boy, passionate, and good boy thing going, but he has the other side too. I think we are kind of like that, and of course it depends on where you are and what you are doing that triggers your attitude.

some things i just dont want to know
nor do i want to see them displayed
and this was one of them
still love him though
but dont like the part of him calling women
certain names
i guess that's what makes us human
this is also why you should try to avoid
those videos and camera (pics)
if you do create one
make sure you keep it safe
or know who you are dealing with
before and after a break up

i think both sweet Mario and calling female b**ch Mario are him. the polar opposite characters exist inside him. he is twisted in a way. he is heterosexual and he likes women but he hates women at the same time. it sounds corny but his tough upbringing, growing up without mother (she wasn't there for him) makes him difficult to respect women at times. he didn't have a childhood where he needed and deserved. he wants to blame mother for it. he said in Do Right.

on the other hand, when i look at some videos like French chick singing with Mario, i am convinced that he has this sweet character inside him. they are not friends. they met like 10 or 15 min. ago and started singing. he shows appreciation and affection to her voice and talent. naturally. he doesn't pretend. he knows they are taping but he doesn't need to because it's not TV show. he is very different from the video 2 here.

i even saw his graciousness alot of times in his dancing while he was on DWTS. many viewers said he was elegant enough in his Waltz. but i saw him being elegant and graceful even in his Samba. you can't hide anything in your dancing. your personality just show up. i know this because i dance, too.

when it comes to an art, such as singing and dancing, probably it's easier for Mario to become sweetest guy in the world because singing used to be the last resort to make up for his lost childhood. his singing was the biggest interest and attention his mother showed her son where he was neglected in his younger days.

Well I pretty much said my peace about it. I just feel a little bit disappointed, just a little because he seems to be the biggest hughest sweetheart. I would've never thought I'd hear Mario call random women b****es. Like I can hear him callin a woman a b**** when need be, but not as a random reference to women in general, damn MarMar. But like i said before, to me I like the fact that he still has a little hood in him, its kinda sexy. But ladies just watch out cause Virgo men tend to be a little crazy. Believe me I know. Thats why I'm not really too shocked about this discovery.

PS Can we chill with the name calling, thats so uncalled for. These vids aren't enough to indicate that MarMar is in any way, shape or form a d-head, stupid, and or jobless(wth). So please just relax.

Exhale Madness N Hale Music...... Is The Motto I Live By..... Tash

Thats what Im saying. The videos themselves are lame. And dont hate on the girl in the video because she is HOT you can not deny that :-|... but hes a big boy now to me theres no need to act like hes squeeky clean when hes blatantly not. Those vids are him, he preaches how hes so real and he wants his fans to see the real him and blah blah blah, thats it right there in those stolen videos!

And it makes me laugh that the focus is on this chick instead of the fact hes chatting s*** about Big booty hoes and all of that...Focus ladies

I'm not really concerned because He doesnt know me I dont know him. I buy his music and jam to it. Thats pretty much it. But Itis slightly shocking to hear him call a woman a b**** though. That didnt sit too well, but not to the point where I lose sleep

"Request me on the hotline, tell the DJ to play it all night"--Mario

thanks for good news in HMV, London. its great! his albums are sold out there? UK ppl watch dwts, too on UK Gold. and they are more knowledgeable about ballroom dancing. i was peeping other dancing thread in UK, they were not that excited about Mario though, they kept saying he was a solid performer over the course, and i was happy.

"Regardless of what that video depicts, I still love Mario a lot, he's accomplished more than anyone I know of,"

i agree with you. no matter what he does in his bedroom, we all know he keeps working on his craft. and i love him for that. its just a language he used in the videos, making me disappointed. i didn't know he was pretending to be a good boy...

Its cool what he does in his personal time but this was...something. I just dont get why he wants to be marketed in the good boy image if thats not who you really are. But I lost respect for him.
I can respect people like Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguliera, Nicole Richie, Kelly Clarkson, Ashanti, Ciara, Britney Spears, Omarion, Bow Wow (even though i hate to admit it) and *NSYNC . Because the older the became the said themselves I'm not a goody goody, didn't want to be marketed that way and they are more real for this. I think if he was more himself I would like and respect him more..now

Duces

"DoN'T WaTcH Me...WaTcH Tv!"

Hey Charlie, long time no chat. Thanks for the threads, glad u voted. I just got so heated up reading all that (comment below), had me pointing my finger, rolling my eyes and twisting my neck, you know the move, lol.
Good news is I went out this afternoon toa record store, HMV, and casually asked for a Mario record, cos the stands had only one GO and one TURNING POINT and guess what, they are sold out and awaiting shipment from another store. They asked if I wanted to buy the one left, i said nah, am buying a gift for twins, so I need 2. Quick thinking eh! Anyway, am glad he's all sold out.
Above all, am really happy about his stint on DWTS. I really do apologise to JRecord, I know I dissed them for putting him on there, but it did him good, so if anyone from JRecord is reading, apologises.
Regardless of what that video depicts, I still love Mario a lot, he's accomplished more than anyone I know of, so big up to you Mario, ur still my boi. Although that girl looked skanky, and yall had just had sex and she felt hungry after sex, was cereal all you had to offer her? Daym mayn, after all that hard work all a girl gets is cereal?! tsk tsk I'll bet she lost more calories having sex than she put on eating that cereal.

for some of you who may be interested, this is the major Mario appreciation thread after his elimination.

Mario Barrett Exhibits Maturity and True Class
http://abc.go.com/primetime/dancingwiththestars/index?pn=mb&cat=23170&ti...

DWTS posters are still talking how Mario was graceful at goodbye speech. I've been watching this show and usually people don't talk about the celebs who got the boot for so long. Last season's Sabrina Bryan was exceptional. this season, Adam Carolla (105 lbs Angel) was missed alot. next one is our Mario. I've seen other dancing board saying, "Sabrina was surprised but Mario exit was more disappointing."

I do hope these videos won't be exposured to their eyes. at least until the finale. DWTS posters call him a patriot. but if they know his bad mouth, they would say his speech was scripted. it won't look good.

i still think the vids r frm lst yr its just the timing of wen they got a hold of the videos and uploaded them......

--
Some call me perky but u can call me Jay :smiles:

"Musica para el Amor"

Nothing's new. I'm sure all celebrities portray a different image then how thye really are during their personal time.

They're just like us. Mario is just like us. I'm sure the person in the next room does the stuff he does in those videos, so I'm not surprised, but it bothers me how he's this really sweeeeeeeeet guys like someone esle mentioned, but his language is sooooooo aggresive.

if nothing else i hope he sees this post...i wanna see if he'll address it or not

--
Samantha, Sammy, Sam, lilsam...its up to you

people show up when things like this come up. it's nature of the message board. former Mario board was way more nasty. but i understand what you said. i can see your love for Mario.

i was away from the board because i was tired of consistant delay of his CD. it's not his fault. but I got so pumped to get his album since Nov. 2006. keep supporting Mario needs hard work. i never thought i had to be so patient to stay his fan. especially after something like this.

i wasn't here but i voted for Mario over 400 times 2 weeks in a row. i think i did a couple of hundreds average at each week.

long time i post here. these vids are painful. i still remember what we talked about pic of Ne-Yo getting head. we believed Mario wouldn't do something like this because he is classy, he is more gentelman, blah blah.

at first, video 3 was shocking. the girl looks trashy. i agree with you guys. they do look like after having sex. first thing came to my mind when i saw this. and how old is she? she looks like 19 but she can be 16 or 17.

now, I'm more shocked at one with him singing Kryptonite. "big a$$ b**ch in video" "fat a$$" "they need to be freak" "crazy shyt" wth? how many times did he say b**ch in one minute video? good for Mario he was eliminated. if he was still on the show, and if someone would post this on ABC, he would be crucified.

what bothers me is I'm in love with his talent. he even sings in these garbage vids.

Sarah,
glad you sound fine.

ayettymama,
sorry, i have missed something. but when did you know Mario was di** head? lol.

Oh for goodness sake, forget the drama. Everyones got a right to voice their own opion.

As much as I dont those videos, I dont think there's anything overtly shocking about it, thats just Mario in normal, non celebrity mode. Nothing wrong with that, so I really dont appreciate Mario being called irresponsible, incredibly stupid, jobless and a d**khead. Is something wrong with you girl? Everytime u come on here, its to diss, what the f*** is ur problem.

You know what really grinds my guts, when people like you, yes you Ayettymama, you log unto a fans base, disappear when everyone's celebrating the positivity of an artist, but then at the first hint of negativity, you come on with a grandslam, spewing all that bullsh*t.

Where were you when we were all worried about Mario going on DWTS? Where were you when we constantly voted and waited with our hearts in our mouths for the result, hoping for another week, how abt when we were sharing our thoughts on Karina and on his performance? U were nowhere to be seen. Did you even notice that he was kicked off DWTS prematurely? Did u note his disappointment during the exit and the interview on GMA? Of course not, cos u only dwell on the negative!

So what if the youtube videos were whack, so what if we all found it somewhat cringeworthy, we dislike it but it does not warrant him being called all the choice names u listed. How much better are you by the way?
I dont know why you come on here, but I can tell u one thing, you and the other weirdo called ANewLife can find comfort on chrisbrownworld.com. Thats one site where the fans are guaranteed to insult their artist, they love to hate him, so pls make urself at home over there.

LOL. Lawd.

Ever since I've been telling you guys that mario is a di**head, you never believed me, now you see for yourself, he is not only a di**head but he must be highly irresponsible, incredibly stupid, and also jobless to go and record all this nonsense, maybe the guy should try goin to uni or something to keep him busy!

But I honestly still dont think he meant them to be uploaded on exposeurlife4theworldtoseeyoujoblessmaniac.com! ortherwise known as utube! And could anybody who knows him tell him to get a better phone please the quality of those vids are disgusting!
