Can we stop with the Mary J. Blige worship? Every time I see her perform live it’s like she’s the plot for Speed 3 — “unless you sing at a certain decibel level or higher the bomb in your white pants will explode.” No one ever told her, “Mary honey, less is more.” And today, she almost made me wish John McCain were elected so I wouldn’t have to sit through another one of her “the longer I go the louder I get” routines.
