Long As I Live got to #88 in Scotland though? cc @SDFEqual? Toni had a few hits in the nineties and then faded into obscurity and did reality tv. Mary is still relevant to this day in terms of music and is a double oscar nominee who’s currently starring on a prestige drama.
I mean I’m sure this will be fun but let’s not pretend we’re talking about the same thing here.
They just play the tracks! Another win for TB!!!Mary’s actual singing will totally outshine Toni’s mumbling unless Toni has her army of backing vocalists with her.
oh if Mary is involved the shade will be real. and I can't wait. no doubt she'll act UTTERLY ABOVE the whole thing. because she is!Hope it's as hilariously pass-ag as the Brandy/Monica affair too!
Monica didn't just play the tracksThey just play the tracks! Another win for TB!!!
Toni back in contention then. I thought it was a live stream extravaganza.They just play the tracks! Another win for TB!!!
WELL it is as in they're both present but the main body of it is the tracks being played. They are free to CONTRIBUTE vocally as they play as Jark notesToni back in contention then. I thought it was a live stream extravaganza.
I honestly see it as being the other way round. I can REEL OFF single after single for Toni (admittedly I'm a bigger fan of hers) but I'd be stumped after 5/6 for MJBanyway obviously Mary's back cat is utter leagues ahead of Toni's and she also has more than six hit singles to her name, so I expect this to be very one sided, although probably Unbreak My Heart is the most beloved track from either of them these days
Well Brandy v Monica was that too, but in fairness I haven't watched the other ones so it could be a singing one. I'm sure John Legend v Alicia Keys would have involved some VERY BORING singingDidn't Gladys and Patti actually sing their songs? It was only the Babyface/Teddy Riley one where they sat down and played their songs.
Also nobody said equal!
My God, why would anyone want to watch that one?'m sure John Legend v Alicia Keys would have involved some VERY BORING singing
Another Sad Love Song trounces absolutely every Mary ballad.I only really love He Wasn’t Man Enough and Hit The Freeway from Tone. I could go into double figures with Mary.
Mary's US chart debuts are impressive, very true. BUT Verzuz relies mainly on nostalgia, or at least that's my perception of it. And Toni's got that covered. (NOT to say Mary isn't strong on that front too... one might even say they're well-matched )You said well matched, Toni’s mainstream career ended in 2000. Mary’s albums still debut in the top ten to this day.
20 years is no well match good sir.
I’m not here for either of their ballad repertoires.Another Sad Love Song trounces absolutely every Mary ballad.

are we all calling in support from the troops? I select @RJN!
I’m sure you will find Toni in TMZ a lot more than Mary who’s always been classier.
