eSpire Female Artist of the Year
Mary J Blige had a phenomenal year
with "The
Breakthrough." It's no wonder that readers voted her
as eSpire Entertainment News 2006 Female Artist
of the Year and "The Breakthrough" as the R
& B Album of the Year.
Shelia Goss: What do you want listeners to
feel after they listen to The Breakthrough?
Mary J Blige: At the end of the day, none
of its easy—making the choice to be happy or making
the choice to share with people what I’ve shared
with people over the years has been a challenge. It’s
been really hard for me too especially once people
get a whiff of who you are (here comes the
trouble).
At the end of the day, it takes a lot of courage to
bare all that I’ve bared.
What I want people to take from The Breakthrough is
if I can do what I’m doing right now, we all can do it.

Brian Mcknight has a new label and a new
CD
"10". Reader's voted him as the eSpire
2006 Male Artist of the Year.
Shelia: What's different from this album than
from some of your previous ones?
Brian Mcknight: I think the only
difference
is my outlook. I'm finally at a place where my view of
myself and the view the label has of me is the same.
I'm emancipated. I got out of a situation I wasn't
happy in. I think this music here is very light, not too
deep and it seems like I'm having a lot more fun and I
am.
