Mary was never a better singer. Her voice was hood and her songs were relatable to pain and unfortunately so many women needed to relate to that. Marry had talented writers that understood her sound and new how to write/produce hits. Faith was limited although she was a writer herself she stayed in that lane. Maybe if she was opened to having writers that understood her she would have had LASTING YEARS hits like Mary. I don't just look at vocals. Marry had the heavy hitters in writing songs that even today are timeless Her songs are catchy. Shout out to the writers and musicians.

I wonder if they get paid to talk so much. I would hate to think it was for free. Pitting Mary and Faith against each other, is as old as pitting, Lil’ Kim and Foxy Brown against each other. They’re all equally talented! The real fans know the true history between MJB and Faye. Faith was a co-writer and background vocalist on Mary’s, “My Life” album. From then on, they would collaborate together on Faith’s debut album. As well as, the remix to Biggie’s “One More Chance” and Mary’s “Everyday It Rains” for the soundtrack, “The Show.” They were actual friends. But when Faith’s debut album was released, Mary felt that Diddy was trying to make Faith, into her image. Mary also didn’t like how the press made it seem as if, Faith was Mary’s vocal coach. It was coupled with the fact that Diddy, was giving Faith more attention. For she was his artist. Mary was not. None of this was of Faith’s doing. But Mary had already made up her mind. She not only ended all business ties with Diddy. But she ended her friendship and business ties with Faith as well. Fast forward to present time, I would have loved to see Mary and Faith perform “One More Chance,” together at the BET Awards. Those moments were missed at the tribute. Hopefully, one day it’ll happen!

I used to be a HUGE Mary J. Blige fan. However, once I started seeing a vocal coach and studying other singers voices, my love for MJB kinda faded. Now, I can barely stand to hear her sing. Her tone is not pleasant at all. After I saw Faith Evans at the Bad Boy reunion in 2016 and the Soul Train Awards 2018 performance I became more interested in her voice and music. I listened to her first two albums and fell in love with them, especially her debut. Maybe because she sounds like an R&B Karen Clark-Sheard, but I definitely feel that Faith could've been as big as Mary if Puff didn't try to make another MJB out of her. I think that was a hinderance
