Mario-

I just want to commend you on your performance on DWTS. I have to say I wasn't familiar with you before the show, but I was extremely impressed with your calm demeanor and your poise, not to mention your dancing. You were better than you were given credit for, and you were a true gentleman, especially in light of some of the judges' comments about you. Well done!

You exited with class, grace & maturity beyond your years. My husband serves in the US Army & is preparing for his second deployment to Iraq & it meant alot to our family (we have a 6 & 8 year old) to hear the sincerity in your voice when you said "thank you" to the troops. So many celebrities these days say it & it sounds so hollow (to the trained ear). You really have your priorities in order with your love of family & I wish you nothing but much more success!

Well I didnt see it. Thank God b/c I probably would of flipped. But it is all good Mario. You did a wonderful job and I appreciate you gracing us with all of your performances. Continue to do great things and play a positive role in todays society. I too want to Thank You not only for going on DWTS but making good music and again just being a good person. I pray nothing but success for you and your family. BE BLESSED!!!!

Mario, I just wanted to let you know that I tuned in every week and voted as much as allowed on the phone and online. I'm so proud of you for making it so far in the competition. The show won't be the same without you now. You always looked so good out there. I watched you on Jimmy Kimmel last night and you handled yourself like a grown ass man. I am so proud to say I'm a Mario fan. I look forward to seeing you in other tv ventures and I can't wait to see you in concert again. I love you sweety, and good luck in all that you do.

Mario,

I also wasn't familiar with you prior to DWTS; however, I am now a fan! Your performances were so impressive and you are truly a class act. Keep up the good work. Thanks for the great entertainment. Best of luck in what will surely be a long and successful career!

If you look at my profile you'd see that the reason i am a fan is because i fell as though you have class and style like no other entertainer out there. Mario even if you are upset or disappointed it doesn't show. You have always known how to maintain your professionalism. I am so proud to say i'm your fan. I always believe that nothing happens b4 it's time, you didnt make it to the end but you made it up to where you were suppose too. Trust in God i'm sure after entering that competition you are a changed man. What you have learnt from this experience just keep it and use it in your every day life. you have so much more to go through. I love you and i'd always be a fan. Guidance,

HI MARIO ITS BEEN 2 DAYS SINCE YOUR ELIMINATION, I'M FINALLY ABLE TO GET OUT OF BED.I LITERALY CRIED MY SELF TO SLEEP THAT NIGHT. I THOUGHT THE JUDGES WERE CRUEL AND MALICIOUS.NOT BECAUSE I'M YOUR FAN AND ALOT OF PEOPLE LOVE YOU ,BUT BECAUSE IT WAS A ALL OUT CONSPIRICY. THEY NEVER WANTED YOU TO WIN IN THE FIRST PLACE.I'M GONNA TELL YOU WHY BECAUSE OF YOUR DARK SKIN , SMOOTH SWAGGER, AND R&B HIP HOP.YOUR NOT THERE KIND.BUT WHAT'S FUNNY IS THAT JASON WHO IS BLACK BUT DON'T ACT A BIT LIKE HE

YOUR GIRL FRIEND AND YES I SAID YOUR GIRLFRIEND ( we all know you have 1 per angie martinez)SHOULD BE ON CLOUD 12 TO HAVE SUCH A MAN AND YES I SAID MAN LIKE YOU

LOV YEA, YOUR BIGGEST FAN

On Monday night, I watched DWTS and I liked the costumes you and Karina had on. I also enjoyed the dancing you guys did. I think you two were the best in my personal opinion. They dogged Kristi Yamaguchi but still she made it to the semi finals. The football guy, he made it to the semi finals even after all of the mistakes he made. They still kept him. But still that was so unfair to get rid of you, You did your best and that's what counts.

I don't even watch that show. I only watched it when I found out you were gonna be dancing on there. That made the show very interesting to me. Now since u're not gonna be on there anymore, I'm not watching it anymore.

You gave it your best and that's what counts. They never thought that they were gonna have a YOUNGER BROTHER to appear on there. Everyone has been older. But when they got you on there, they had already made up their minds about eliminating you. With all the support of your R&B fans and the new fans from watching the show, ain't no way in hell u should've got kicked off ya hear what I'm saying?

You are #1 in my book and has been for a long time now. And u will always be #1 in my book. You're charming, charismatic, passionate, sexy and very talented. That's what makes me like you. Oh yeah and u can sing your ass off too lol....Not to mention u're a VIRGO just like me, so that affects my liking for you....So no matter what anyone says, you did your thang out there. You showed them that a young brother has more to him than just songs, you got other talents and skills and u brought all of that on DWTS. I don't hate ya for that. You represented out there and I can dig that...I will always love you Mario, I will always support you....

II never was an R&B fan. We were so impressed with you on "Dancing" that we decided to look your site up. "How Do I Breathe" is a wonderful song. We were just as impressed with it as with the way you danced and handled yourself on the show especially when you were unfairly voted off. You’re a great singer, dancer and human being.

mario i always loved you ever sience for ever lol but i just couldnt belivie u got kick off dancing with the stars u always did go and i really want to meet u i dance soo mabe i can dance in ur viedos u dont even have to pay me i will do it out of love mario.d.barreet i love so much and i am your numer 1 fan and i will always be and i just cant explain how much u inspire me

Aww man, I can't believe you were eliminated, I thought you were excellent. You were wonderful and that's all that matters. Even though people expected so much of you because you're in the music industry, they tend to highlight more of your mistakes rather than give you credit for your effort. It's easier being in the judge's chair when you don't have to complete the tasks that were given to you and Karina. You guys were the real champions because you did all the work. However, the judges' opinions were to make you work harder and was for your benefit so I give them credit for that! You know what, even though you might have wanted to win it's ok. You're still a winner and Still, you rise!

I don't think your fans will love you any less. I enjoy your drive of determination and persistence to succeed despite many of the challenges you've faced growing up. I just want you to know that "This too shall pass." and that there is no circumstance or situation that is too great for God. "In all things, remember to put God first. I've always listened to your music ever since I found out about you. Even though there may be many other singers out there who are constantly popping up, I choose to listen to your songs more often(especially one of your latest songs, "Do Right").You will know why as you read on. I admire your enthusiasm and your personality. I feel as if you're not shallow, you're very down to earth and from what I've seen, you always exhibit a positive attitude and is not the type to always want to be seen( or be in the spotlight). You've always been very mature for your age, even when you were younger and I kinda like that about you. Yes, I am a fan but I'm not here to say "Oh, Mario I love you and I want to be with you!" I love everyone(yes, everyone includes Mario also).

To top it off, I may never get to meet you, living all the way in The Bahamas but all I want to say is, Mario, you're very talented and blessed and sometimes you have to go through to get through to your breakthrough. I admire the fact that you are family oriented and caring. There are so many men out there who would have ostracized their mothers but I love the fact that you stayed with your mother and helped her along the way and I respect you for that. My mother and elders always taught my female cousins, my sister and myself to always marry a man who truly loves and appreciates his mother because in turn, they're more likely to do the same to us. Please don't change for anyone. Remain humble! Let Go and Let GOD! No one is perfect however, God placed us on this earth and gave each of us an opportunity to choose life or death, light or darkness, wrong or right. It's up to us to make the right decisions and to make the best of our lives.

Mario, be encouraged, stay focused and be blessed! Most of all, Remember GOD and always be grateful! With God's help and your commitment, you will succeed! You have my support and prayers!

I close with this.. Proverbs 4:7 Wisdom is the main thing; get wisdom; and with all your getting get understanding(this also goes for everyone who may read this, be blessed) !

I am here for leaving my indignation clearly is very unjust what he happened with you in the last monday, when you was eliminated unjustly, therefore I did not see no participant who had danced more good that you, plus all good, I made what I could, I vote in you all the weeks more I am knowing that you is my preferred and not shot this opinion never, consider its fan numéro one and always go to be, wait that you he has absorbed many good things of this new experience in its and that serves of a start of as many conquests, deds already mine sincere votes of carinhor, respect and love you,debtor for making happy, seeing me you to sing and to enchant.
