Virtual Violet you're on fire!!!!!!!!
Mary should be getting it....she's gotten me through a many of break-ups, jealous friends (you know the ones you help and they stab you in the back) and midnight cries. She should be getting it...Whitney Houston is super particular about who she sings with she is like Barbra Streisand they both won't dam near sing with anyone even if the $$$ is right but Whitney has sanged a couple of times with Mary.
