R&B singer Mario will be a contestant on Season 6 of ABC's hit ballroom show Dancing With The Stars. Of his participation on the show, the 21 year old said:
"This is definitely something new for me. It's exciting. Every time I watch the show, I'm amazed how honest and real everyone is." {Source}

Hmm. I'm not too sure about this. These kinda shows tend to be for over-the-hill stars of yesterday. Still, I can't knock his hustle factor. After the disappointing performance of his stellar 'Go!' album last year, he'll likely be looking for an avenue to set up his 'comeback'. A tidbit: over the years Mario has become less of a choreographed act, so I guess the show will be interesting on that front.

Your thoughts?

MARIO IS A UNDERRATED ARTIST, UNLIKE OMARION, AND CHRIS BROWN. MARIO CAN ACTUALLY SING, AND I MEAN SING. BUT TO THIS CAN REALLY BE A BIG HIGH LIGHT OF HIS CAREER. "GO" IS AN AMAZNING ALBUM, JUST LIKE IS PREVIOUS 2. SO MAYBE SOME EXPOSURE WILL GOOD, COME HIS NEXT ALBUM. I'M STILL WAITING ON THE "MUSIC FOR LOVE" VIDEO.

This is NOT "career suicide." Mario is looking for exposure and DWTS will give him that. However, his music is urban and the demographic of DWTS is not urban. No matter, crossover to Top 40 isn't out of the question.

this is why i hate the music industry, the abandon good cd's like Mario's 'GO!' and now his exposure comes with this show. i think he can pull it off and win, get the buzz out there and sell his new cd, cuz i mean damn they just see you flop and forget about it, ONLY IF HE COULD BANG SOMEONE OR HAVE SOMEONE WANNA BANG HIM LIKE RIHANNA, CUZ DEF JAM WORKED FOR HER SUCCESS, 'PON DE REPLAY' was a hit but the cd tanked, they gave her a second chance, 1 hit, 1 mediocre, tanked cd and now THIS SUCCESS, WOW, WHAT HAPPENED TO TEAIRRA MARI??

GET IT MARIO, I'M ROOTING FOR YOU!

@T,

wat rihanna has to do with mario? mario was out before rihanna ever hit the usa, u cannot measures rihanna who is a POP artist to an urban artist like mario. are people jealous of rihanna cause of her success? mario needs to step his damn game up, it is insultin that u say someone bang rihanna or wateva and u cannot prove it. where is ur proof? it is all envy and jealous, rihanna just have wat it takes to make it: killer looks and killer hooks which accordin to hollywood is a deadly combo. if mario aint got it he cannot make it.

btw, rihanna's second album garnered three top hits which include sos, unfaithful, and break it off. and the album went platinum, i dont call that tankin. an album that reaches plat in the usa is a success.

rihanna has done nuffin wrong in the industry, she is just a good player in the industry game. pop artists dont need great voices to succeed, look at janet and britney who are not SINGERS, but entertainers. rihanna fall into that category. it is such a shame that rihanna is being blamed for other artists failure. u shouldnt hate the player but hate the game.
