Off the top, I'm very conflicted about "Stronger" by Mary J. Blige, and it's all Chris Brown's fault. Because were it not for his wack ass presence on background vocals, I would have a greater appreciation for this song, which doubles as the theme music for the upcoming documentary More Than A Game. The doc chronicles LeBron James and his high school basketball dream teammates and, in that context, the song fits perfectly. But that irksome voice on background vox is like nails on a chalkboard to my ears since "The Incident." Although CB is all over the song, at least he's not in the video, which is part documentary footage and part Mary singing amidst nature scenes. MJB is typically a style curve-setter, but I'm not feeling her wardrobe in this clip either. This song and video don't make me want to rush out to buy Mary's new album when it hits stores (which will be a first), but at the very least it does make me want to see More Than A Game.
