Mary Mary - "Just The Way You Are" (BRUNO MARS COVER!!!)

[minesdecarli]

they were awesome and funny!! Impressive

[GotBigDreams]

Ok, Yes, They are Gospel singers but at the same time not every single word out of their mouth is going to be "Praise God, Hallelujah, Amen." Nothing sang in this song was sexual or dirty. If you listen she mentioned herself as "MOMMY". It's as if they were singing this to their daughters, not like Bruno Mars singing it to his girlfriend. And by being a good mother and raising a young girl to believe she is beautiful and perfect the way God created, is that not religiously inspirational? Chill.

[representandoalking]

IS THIS CHRISTIAN???? NOOP

[MiSzzWitney]

@representandoalking as long as what you're singing is pure and convates good message even if you 're a christian not all your songs need to have the followin words : jesus love you, hallelujuah etcc !

[charlenekimara1]

Angels` voices...Can`t get better than that...

[theheartofpaul]

Oh I just realized they are singing it as mother would sing to her daughter. It seems more beautiful this way.

[SuperMarisa11]

thats not the right song for them to sing but they're good

[dacersss]

It was a little wierd at the begging but then when she said because I'm her mommy it made sience!

[gospelx2]

LOVE ERICS,S VOICE!!!

[aniqahmoez]

OMG THE CURLY HAIRED ONE LOOKS LIKE GLOZELL

[CuteandClassyEvents]

How do I get the mp3 for this version?

[kwontif65]

@CuteandClassyEvents i can send it to you if you want:)

[jaytch1]

@kwontif65 can you send it to me too please?

[kwontif65]

@jaytch1 whats your email? so i can send it :)

[IloveTaylorKelly]

WOOOWW I have never heard Erica hit such High Notes I LOVED!!!!

[sharenah1]

Oh wow 19 people don't believe that they are AMAZING!!!

[MediaRhymeKdRecords]

I think they did a really good job, but you can't compare them to Bruno Mars... i mean like Bruno Mars nails the song alone with an amazing voice, and btw its easier for them cause they are singing it with each other :D

[NDionneG005]

I love their attitude about how she said she is actually featured in the song and she stops the traffic!!! LOL hilarious! Its nice to know they have a sense of humor just like most music folks do caz that how we are! silly!

[NDionneG005]

That was very good! I usually dont like cover songs

[strawberryhillz1]

I just got goosebumps for this performance in the first 30 seconds! wow!

[jaydenrobins]

@DavidHdz8 All I said was they are a great singing duo! CHECK URSELF B4 U WRECK URSELF!!!

[eutixismenimazi]

when i saw this i was about 99% sure their names where mary and mary . guess i was wrong ..

[barrea29]

The song has a great message and its a Godly message no matter how you look at it. We are fearfully and wonderfully made and we should feel amazing! There is nothing wrong with this and I think that Christians should try not to be so "religious" that they are absolutely no earthly good. I loved this.

[KeylainePro]

i freaking luv it!! I could listen to them all day :)

[etpboy10]

Can we just enjoy the music please..we know who these women live for no questions about that..

[MikeyMoon06]

I think this sent a weird message, but I think this was inspiring. I think if you look past who sings it and listen to the message, you will be inspired. This song doesn't glorify GOD, but it lines up with the word of God saying that I am "fearfully and wonderfully made" by him and so we should know that we are amazing just the way we are. This song was dedicated to their daughters. What's wrong with that?

[Harl3yQuinn20]

PART 2- . But were all brothers nd sisters im christ so theres no need to argue everyones entitled to their own opinion. So god bless the both of u sisters nd everyone else that commented, were in this world not of it, so we must show them that we r different nd not fight with eachother like the ppl in the world do. They dont kno ne better but we do. God bless u guys!!!

[Harl3yQuinn20]

PART 1- Its secular music meaning of the world. I totally agree with u cutiepie. Its not about judging mary mary its about the impact they have amongst people especially young christians. Theyre suppose to b setting examples for the next generation nd by doing this they are saying that this is allowed nd its not, its wrong! maybe they werent taught that, who knows. I love their music nd god has truly blessed them abundantly.I jus dont agree with sum of the things they do nd this is one of them.

[alvinabetsy]

cool...

[cutie221pie]

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH YALL GET ON MY NERVE SO MUCH RIGHT NOW. I LOVE YALL REGUARDLESS BUT THIS RIGHT HERE UGH! WHEN I SAW THE TITLE I JUST THOUGHT YALL TOOK HIS MUSIC AND PUT SOME GOD SPIRTUA LLYRICS! YALL R SERISOULLY BUGGING ME YALL ARE SUPPOSIVLLAY CRISTIANS YALL DONT DO THIS. THIS SONG AINT GLORFYING GOD AT ALL AND I I DARE ANY OF YALL TO GO AGAINST THIS COMMENT CAUSE IF U DO U GOING AGAINST THE PURPOSE OF BEING ON THIS EARTH, GET YHAL BEHINDS BACK IN CHURCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jaytch1]

@cutie221pie whats wrong with this song? You tell me where in the Bible does it say ALL songs have to have the name Jesus in it.. You need to get back in church and read your Bible before you comment

[cutie221pie]

@jaytch1 THE BIBLE SAYS "IN ALL THINGS LET GOD BE MAGNIFIED". NOW U TELL ME IF THIS IS GLORFYING GOD....???? NOPE,SHO AINT,NOT EVEN A LIL. I AINT SAY NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE SONG BUT ITS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE PEOPLE WHO ARE SINGING IT BECAUSE THEY ARE "CRISTIANS" SO I THOUGHT. U SING FOR GOD AND GOD ONLY. GET BACK IN YOOOOOOUR BIBLE BOO!

[jaytch1]

@cutie221pie The fact that they are singing about their children which were a gift from God is an act of praising God.. Thanks is a VERY big thing in the Bible... ALSO if you believe it is wrong who are you to judge them for this?? the Bible says “Judge not, that you be not judged" so before you try to tear down other people look in the mirror and you will see you are NO different. Read the ENTIRE Bible and no just the parts that help an argument.. Be blessed

[cutie221pie]

@jaytch1 I understand what you are saying but if they wanna sing about their children they can but as for them confessing their christianty to the world im just saying its not right. Atleast with a sexual artist song. And the bible also gives permission to judge(mainly elders) and rebuke those who need it. Famous or non famous I dont care its in his word. Im not picking arguments and thanks for the blessing.

[jaytch1]

@cutie221pie Christians like you are the reason why SOO many people in the world will NEVER meet Christ. Mary Mary doing this allowed them to be seen by people who would have never seen Christ. The anointing their voice will have people wanting to hear more of them which will lead them to Mary Mary's gospel music which could be the door to them getting saved.. God does not limit Himself so don't you limit anyway he can use people according to His will.. Get out the box; its not about you or....

[jaytch1]

@cutie221pie your opinions its about winning souls for Christ. So think before you speak

[jaytch1]

@cutie221pie Because you judging this video could have swayed people away from Christ

[cutie221pie]

@jaytch1 hmmmmm. ill never run away from CHRIST. i hope people dont but hey at the end of the day we all gotta get right and im speaking on behalf of me. WHEN I LEAVE IMMA GONNA BE WITH HIM. im not gonna say another word cause this right here aint nothing but the devil (not u)

[andrewcharlespayne92]

@cutie221pie so what your saying Christian's aren't allowed to do covers

[cutie221pie]

@andrewcharlespayne92 Im saying christians shouldnt do covers of any sexual artists song. I've been guilty because some artisits have inspiring lyrics but at the end of the day if we're christians we should NOT to sexular artists songs.

[mandingolove]

@cutie221pie secular*



[JordanKerk99]

@cutie221pie Well you listened to this song...you didn't glorify God in all things you listen to...shoot, guess you're going to Hell with all the other people that watched this video,

[iluvmarymary224]

Awee save me te drama if u didn't like it ok !! Who cares! An if u did that's great:)!! all the criticism is not called for they were just singing a song ok an y'all make it seem like they were up there singin nicki Minaj or something !!#teammarymary

[brebaby96]

First of all I wuld just like too saay they r talking about there daughters jusst too let u know before u go judging I have been a fan of mary mary since I was 6 I love and respect them just the way they r haan!

[2011RocRoyal]

She said her concert will go on

[shaiyla79]

They are being mary mary and no one else. They did great. Why are people so inclined to think otherwise. Are these the same people who may not have the talent that these ladies have been blessed with. Are they....HATERS?!

[psychotsunade]

SO BEAUTIFUL. (:

[kareem4900]

I love them!

`



[Garrant1992]

The music is from the praise and worship song "Open The Eye's of my Heart" Its a good mash up tho.

[Orijust]

I absolutely love this!

[Mrfranchizer]

The problem with those who have a problem with what Mary Mary or any other Gospel artist does that doesn't follow the old format of singing only in a church to only those who are supposedly Christian is they want to cut the "secular" world off entirely all while living in it. IMO they are no different than Nazi's. They believe anyone else is going to hell and has to chance of getting saved. And if Mary Mary covers Bruno Mars, oh all of a sudden you've kicked them off the ship as well...Get real

[GodsCrystal21]

@Mrfranchizer that makes zero sense!!

[TiaTheCupcakeKid01]

I feel as if these two did a GREAT job. It doesn't matter that these people posting these mean comments don't recognize TRUE talent.

[katrinalee009]

They arent selling out its the msg of the song! They did a beautiful job and I dont think they'll be leaving the gospel genre anytime soon

[lilwilz16]

They killed , this is better than the original.. i can her singing this to her daughter

[zapikachu]

She used the shitty harmony. They are ruining the song trying to use too much soul. Ugh.

[GodsCrystal21]

@zapikachu seriously what is you guys problem? they did an amazing job!

[zapikachu]

@GodsCrystal21 compare them to these guys.

watch?v=77GNAskGguY

Note the harmony they use, much better. Also see how Mary Mary vibrate their voices too much. They are trying too hard. You can be a fan of them as music artists, that's fine. But this cover was a fail. Look how hard they try toward the end. It's kinda pathetic...

[GodsCrystal21]

@zapikachu thanks.

i see what u are talking about now. :)

[jaydenrobins]

They are a great singing duo!

[mistronp]

You can tell they sing this to their Daughters... how precious!

[PisangGilaaa]

this is so good... mary mary for the win!

[djbigacemusic]

Just to let EVERYBODY KNOW . They are not trying to reach anybody with this song cover . They are just doing music . This video was for BILLBOARD(dot)COM's Monday Mashup . its a mix-genre show on modays they do for artists to get a taste of another genre . my question is, why always question a gospel artist when they make an artistic move . real music is real music, whether it be gospel, jazz, (real)r&b, neo-soul, or WHATEVER?

[litalovesmusic]

this is soo sweet i love the way they changed it up for a daughter. im gonna sing this to my babygirl

[Ajizzle92Nhs]

Yes they do sound good, but their kind of selling out!!! When the last time you herd Bruno Mars singing GOSPEL??? Pretty soon mary mary is going to be singing R&B lol...Sumbody hit me up when Drake, Bruno Mars, or Lil Wayne is singing "I wanna Go to Heavan"

[edwardcarrillo1]

@Ajizzle92Nhs uhm... Ignorant sir, there is nothing wrong with singing a song to someone you love or appreciate. Hence many scriptures including the book Song of Songs. Get your religious mind right.

[kaizer2895]

@Ajizzle92Nhs why does is hav 2 be selling out u can still be a christian with out singing gospel their singing a wholesome song its not lik their up there bumping and grinding

[NaniFilipa]

beautifull voice. amazing

[FashionistoCameron]

love mary mary!! <3 they are just amazing!!

[roodiehy]

the background music should have stayed true to the oringinal...it seems like it messed them up a bit

[amccalla2]

love this

i think this beautiful. reminds me of someone

[Elevatedsoul7]

Somebody please put this song six feet under because they just kill't this

[GsShay]

@Elevatedsoul7  LOL

[AllikaDani]

This is so beautiful!!! I love this! Forget anyone who says otherwise! YOU GO GIRLS!!!

[tomikoberry]

ok! Mary Mary sounds better than Bruno

[jaydenrobins]

Yay! Christian artists on Billboard. These two have beautiful voices!

[DavidHdz8]

@jaydenrobins Who gives a shit about their religious convictions? Good singers are good singers no matter what church they may or may not attend.

[No1Rides4Free]

CONGRATS BILLBOARD..FOR PROMOTING S&M SEX WITH A BUNCH OF HUNCH MONKEY WHORES TO THE WORLD SUNDAY EVENING, PRIME TIME..THANKS FOR PROMOTING SICK NASTY TRASH TO YOUNG PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD !...AND YOU PEOPLE WONDER WHY THE WORLD IS GOING TO HELL FASTER THAN SHIT THREW A GOOSE ! YOU PEOPLE WEAKEN THE CORE OF THIS COUNTRY WITH THIS VILE,NASTY CRAP ON A DAILY BASIS..ABC,THEIR ADVERTISERS AND BILLBOARD ARE EVERY BIT AS DANGEROUS TO THIS COUNTRY AS AL QAEDA ..AND YOU COULD CARE LESS ..DISGUSTING !

[sah603]

I saw them live at Women of Faith, and I just love them!!! They have beautiful voices

[Shebadmichelle]

I love them....

[27trakstar]

good job ladies! :) <3

[faithchildtv]

This was AMAZING! I love you two! Mary Mary for PRESIDENT!!!

[davidroyquake]

oh dammm, just the way i love it <3

[mrs1piano4me]

i personally think that these two are really good singers but i think that the original is better... please don't hate... it's just my opinion...

[kgartly]

This video is beautiful!! I LOVE Mary Mary and I think that it's wonderful that they showed that "ya, we can sing other songs and still be Christians. We ain't breakin' no rules by doing that man!".

They liked a song, so they sang it and I think that's awesome.

I myself love to sing and I find that Tina and Erica are very good role models.

Good job guys, keep it up!!

[quakemaster789]

Sounds deep man!



[alliwarmi]

sooo cute! What a lovely song to dedicate to ur kids! :)

[only0forjoejonas]

They are good! no question but no one can challenge Bruno...

[Lovelyladyfinesse]

@jGracePro no doubt these ladies are wonderful singers I love them..but as christains in the spot light we must becareful &choiceful of what we say & what songs we sing becuz as followers of Christ we are watched the most becuz we set the highest example.&we must admit any r&b artist is liable to curse&show other ungodly characters &we must be careful of who we influence on our audience to listen to because those words turn into actions.we can't choose the world & holyness.we can't compromise.

[peacefulthinker14]

@Lovelyladyfinesse Hi! I agree with you but in that same choosing it is ok to sing "wordly" songs as long as they are not making themselves look in-pure..... but you can also see in this video they're talking from a mother's perspective. I would much rather my mother tell me before a man comes in and tries.. you know?

[Lovelyladyfinesse]

@peacefulthinker14 ..yep and thanks I love the fact that they wanted to sing to their children but they are talented ladies lol they don't need anyone elses songs to notify their children that they are beautiful..they could have made their own song I promise it would have been a lot more special. I feel like they want the world attention to much they forget about the word.& honestly we should not want to do what the world does we are to be helping not encouraging u know?? the video is misleading

[peacefulthinker14]

@Lovelyladyfinesse you know, I agree with you. I often wonder how they really try to portray God. In the beginning they were so humble and it kinda seems like they've, in some cases, thrown that out of the window, you know what I mean? As for their own song they definetly should have made that happen :)

[Lovelyladyfinesse]

@peacefulthinker14 yep I understand what u mean..writing their own song instead of singing someone elses would have been better..as u can see ppl that listen to (bruno) are saying that mary mary did a nice try but it does'nt measure up to him..we as christain don't have to compete with the world. we are followers of Christ the most HIGH GOD,not humans&yes they push HIS values to the side 4theworld. I pray they get back on their feet quickly and correct their audience before they think it's okay.

[peacefulthinker14]

@Lovelyladyfinesse Amend! I still love their music. The most ridiculous thing that they say in their interview is "we want to reach the world instead of the usual church goers" my thing is how can you reach the world when the church is still dying of dryness and the lack of understanding.... you know? Their intention is great but I think that when they decided they just wanted to reach the world they did kick God to the side on certain things. They're still top quality singers and my faves!

[Lovelyladyfinesse]

@peacefulthinker14 yeah you can't just focus on the world when the churches need help themselves. As you can tell by some comments that ppl have made they don't really and truely understand somethings..thats why with the Lord's help I will continue to gain this widom HE is giving becuz with out it I would still think the little here and there things are okay when they aren't but we are all still learning&they will most def be on my prayer list! But we MUST KNOW THE WORD! And I'm willin to help!

[KeylainePro]

THEY WORKED REALLY HARD THIS DAY...AIN'T IT! IT'S LIKE 17 VIDEOS OF THEM WITH THOSE SAME OUTFITS ON AND ON 106 AND PARK...GOES TO SHOW HOW HARD THEY WORK...

[MsTkhan]

thank God for the clarification about her being the mother afte 'her lips, i'd kiss them all day...'. i was confused for a sec!

[peacefulthinker14]

@MsTkhan lol...I didn't even catch that....

[ivilene4u]

love it! :-)

[gradeabeauty09]

I loooove their version!!

[laurenvs]

awe they sound like sweethearts!

[naturallyfavored]

Awesome!!! 

[toscano1100]

It's a really hard song to sing...but the girls did great.Yeah,topping Bruno would be like impossible...but that was pretty good :)

[sexyblack103]

Omg! They sound so good.

[jGracePro]

For everyone conversing in the controversy... these are two sisters each singing to their daughters (hence the lyric change in the second verse.) My mom is in ministry just as Mary Mary is and if she sang this to me I would love it. Listen to the beauty in the music :)

[OfficialCARI]

Mary Mary, I beg you, record a version of this song so that I can buy it!!!

[Lovelyladyfinesse]

@djacobs427 and no..I don't watch the same things I use to watch or talk the same way I use to talk..don't listen to the same music as I use to.. I don't do alot of stuff I use to do..why?? because GOD will change ALLLLLLLLL of that..by the renewing of ur mind! and your DON'T want to listen to that stuff anymore or do those things anymore because ur not the same person.

[Lovelyladyfinesse]

@djacobs427 I'm sorry for ur misunderstanding if it came off as judging, but as christians we are to leave the secular music with our old selves renewing our minds to be more like Christ, and new follower of Christ that do not know the word well will think that it is okay to listen to secular music because it is being promoted by gospel artist we have to be mindful of the wellbeing of everyone,and "For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common?" -2Corinthians 6:14 just being helpful

[Lovelyladyfinesse]

@djacobs427 I'm sorry for your misunderstanding if it came off as judging, but as christians we are to leave the secular music with our old selves renewing our minds to be more like Christ, and new follower of Christ that do not know the word well will think that it is okay to listen to secular music because it is being promoted by gospel artist we have to be mindful of the wellbeing of everyone,and "For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common?" read-2Corinthians 6:14 :)

[mumble70398]

0:27 ma'am get a driver haha lol too funny

[gqfosho]

I like their version!

[MsLoverjustin]

they sing very well thumps up if u agree

[hotcoko4u77]

MARY MARY DID AN AWESOME JOB... <3'd it!!!

[JCamUniverse]

Beautiful cover!! Love these women.

[Lovelyladyfinesse]

We as christians should not be listening to secular music let alone singing it, u don't want ppl thinkin it's ok to listen to (r&b and rap music) u don't want that on your hands when ur promoting other artist that are liable to curse& say many other degrading things in their lyrics & videos..you don't want other children or young teens or even adults that look up to you (mary mary) thinking it's okay to live this way and sing his (bruno's) songs or any other BET artist (bad choice of song)

[AserHapi]

@Lovelyladyfinesse You must be SO much fun at parties

[djacobs427]

@Lovelyladyfinesse Self-righteous much? The Song of Solomon was not written to God yet it's in the Bible. Try and look up the word secular and see what it really means. I'm sure the majority of the time you sit in front of the tv you are not watching TBN or Daystar and any other channel that you watch that is not dedicated to God (<-- that's what it means) is secular yet you probably still watch your favorite shows. There are things that are personal convictions like this and it's perfectly

[sexyblack103]

@djacobs427 Well put!

[djacobs427]

@Lovelyladyfinesse fine if you chose to live by them but you are wrong to demand that anyone live by your standards (Romans 14). There is nothing wrong with a pure love song and this is an example of one. The Song of Solomon talks about the hill of his wifes breast this song hardly has any of that. Aslo there is a way we are to handle things. Next time send them a message through their website.

[KeylainePro]

how sweet!!! love it

[KeetWeet]

(not being funny) but what happen to gospel it seems that secular is just taking over these days...smh sad...even some of these new gospel songs are so secular & using secular artist...what can make a believer different fromt he world if they are to busy being like the world & professing to Holy that is why the world call us "hypocrites"...

[LiveYaLife10]

@KeetWeet Hey, I definitely understand what your coming from (and this cover aside), I think there's a huge difference between "having a secular sound" and evolving into a more modern version of Christian music. Gospel music that existed in the 90s and 80s (Shirley Caesar, Dottie People's and others known for traditional gospel music) is only a revolutionary evolution of even more contemporary old gospel hymnals. So just as it had to evolve into what it was then, I feel it's simply evolving now.

[LiveYaLife10]

@KeetWeet Also, they also point out the fact that, though the original is addressed to Bruno's girlfriend, their rendition is geared towards their daughters... Nothing wrong with that! lol! And it's not a grotesquely obscene song... But I definitely respect your view and still think your opinion is pretty valid.

[KeetWeet]

@LiveYaLife10 Well hey & thanks for not attacking me by my comment lol I appreciate that...& I hear what you say about Mrs. Shirley C. & etc. but my point is never do I want to listen to a song that is meant for the Most High God & it sound like it just came from the streets whether it sound like jazz, regae, rap, r&b, contempary, & etc. & I really think it's disrespectful when I hear gospel do a remake of a secular song & changed the lyrics as good as God is we have to take from the world...

[KeetWeet]

@LiveYaLife10 I guess my main point is...I choose Christ & gave up the world & all that belongs to it that is not of God I can only serve one Master I use to do just that try to have them both until I read the word...because it is so easy to stray away in soul & in mind still think you are in tack w/ God it take all I got to live the way he said I have no time to entertain the world I have to be example...to me seems like the churches don't hold much of a standard anymore anything goes...smh =/

[Lovelyladyfinesse]

@KeetWeet amen!!! so many ppl are so afraid to really live for JESUS..so afriad they won't look cool..WHO CARES?? JESUS DIED ON THE CROSS BLEED AND ROSE for us to turn away from sin and worldly behavior..when we as christians accept (r&b) music we say it's okay.

[KeetWeet]

@Lovelyladyfinesse Hey THANKS =) & you are right...just the trick of the enemy try to make you feel like it's ok to listen to his music 6 days then on the 7th day it's gospel before church then after church right back to worldly music & (cussing, fighting, fornicating, gossiping & etc.) what would be the purpose of going to church? I don't wont to serve a God that only can keep me during church what about after-sorry I really have a love for people & we ALL suppose to encourage each other =)'S

[imagurl24]
