Because she wasn't a beauty. She had average looks. She's aged impeccably, though. So she gets the last laugh.
I think Mary is gorgeous. It’s those tragic wigs that make her look average.

*Smh/Lol* I don't know which eras some of you were either born into, or came in on the tail end of, but if my memory serves me correct, around the way girls, like Mary, were every bit loved and celebrated by many dudes, especially the fellas from the hood, or who just love women like Mary. When she dropped the videos "Real Love" and "Reminisce," dudes would go ape over her bod, especially ass. Hell, even the late Biggie Smalls gave ode to then would be future QUEEN OF HIP HOP SOUL.
I mean arent. They were never facially attractive
Alicia is beautiful face wise. Very Lena Horne-ish. It's Alicia's hardness that makes her unsexy.
MJB came up career wise (90s) when there where so many other beautiful black singers she just didn't stand out. That plus the Bad Boy/Puffs camp was filled with models and gorgeous women constantly.
Puff also intentionally marketed her as a tomboy with a voice. By the time she came out of that she was old (by industry standards) and a new group of young hot girls had emerged.
She is very beautiful and I like her dancing lol. I'm loving her on Power too.
What are your thoughts on MJB's beauty?
I remember alot of Black guys who thought Mary was sexy back in the day. I wish yall would stop judging Black celebrities beauty by white publications of the era. They rarely gave Whitney, Janet, Vanessa, Nia, Vivica, Toni, Aaliyah, and others credit for their beauty outside of moments here and there.
These days people confuse sexy with trashy. For example, J.Lo sells xes appeal and she has it, but I personally find her to be trashy, slutty, and try hard at times.
Queen MJB was a xes symbol because she was the typical round the way girl that was down to earth, had street smarts, was down with the black community, never had to put on the stank Hollywood attitude, and her music moved even the hardest hood dude's soul.
The fonts in here calling her an unsexy auntie sound like ignorant children, and MJB's career started when I was an infant.
Beauty and xes appeal is just subjective and as personal as the person making the judgement own tastes. Her ex K-ci was a xes symbol himself, so she was sexy to young black men in her younger days.
I don't even see the point of even responding with a comment if you believe that. Trashy isn't the same as sexy.Ive known of Mary my whole life, what you said is null and void
She looks gorg in BOTH pics.
Why is THE QUEEN a whole 8 years older than Flopwood but looks a good 8 years YOUNGER?
Naw, don't do my girl Brandy like this smh. But, she looks better with braids. Weaves like this don't fit her
Right, I keep seeing Brandy's name and pictures. I think that I've stumbled on the wrong site. Let me head on outAnd wtf Brandy has to do with this thread about MJB being a xes symbol?
Not Meg the horse omgggg. I can’t. anyway I agree.She gives auntie vibes.
She’s more woman “sexy”, not man “sexy”.
She also doesn’t have a very xesual image, which is good tbh. Never posed for playboy, doesn’t seem all tooprovocative like lil Kim or Meg the Horse.
At least brandy was never a coke head alcoholic
Uhhh maybe not an alcoholic.... but rumors float that she’s no stranger to the nose candyAt least brandy was never a coke head alcoholic
I love Lil Kim... but seriously who is her stylist? Mary on the other hand looks amazing the older she gets
I don’t know who is styling Mary but she looks better now than when she was younger. She doesn’t have to been known for xes because she is now a legend.
When she first came out I don’t remember RnB girls being known for xes, especially not the way women are known now. That’s a good thing because when Lil Kim for example wears something she would have in the past it’s not as cute as it may have been 20 years ago.
Mary looks are timeless. She is our sexy aunt that has money, a new boyfriend and a nice house. I love her. She will never be over 40 or 50 her age will magically disappear.
I love Lil Kim... but seriously who is her stylist? Mary on the other hand looks amazing the older she gets
Lol Misa Hylton is Mary’s, Faith’s and Lil Kim’s stylist. Why she touched her face is beyond me.
She styled Lil Kim’s Crush on your video with the iconic colors.
She styled her for the “Real Love video also”.
Yes! She was definitely the epitome of the 90s Around The Way Girl.She’s always been thought of as a xes symbol but more of a round the way girl type though. Especially when she first came out in the 90’s.
