Mary J Grows, Ashanti Switches Up On Nelly


I just read that Mary J. Blige is re-releasing her platinum, "Growing Pains" album. The album features the hit single, "Just Fine". Mary recently released a video for "Stay Down" which is one of my favorite songs right now. Oprah recently proclaimed Mary's "Growing Pains" as her "album of the summer". Released last December, the re-released version of the album is said to include a new song written by Ne-Yo entitled, "Say It While You Can" as well as new songs by Tank and Ryan Tedder (worked with Beyonce). It is very popular for labels to re-release successful albums. It is very rare that a label re-releases an album that didn't fare well on the charts.

Though I stopped watching eons ago TV's "American Idol" has crowned a winner in singer David Cook. I would turn past the show every now and then but my interest in the show wanned years ago. I was watching the Nightly News last night and they were talking about former Idol winners falling off. It noted how former winners and runner-ups such as Taylor Hicks, Ruben Studdard, and Katherine McPhee have all been dropped from their labels. Let's see if Cook will or won't face a similar fate.

It looks like Ashanti has switched her 2nd single to an unknown single at presstime. It was reported that "Body On Me" featuring Nelly and Akon was her 2nd single. When the full version leaked, it was not said to be the official version. Now according to Mediabase(radio airplay site) the song is credited to Nelly and features Ashanti and Akon.
