Mary J. to Work What She's Got in Detroit

Who thinks of someone like Mariah as a go-to fashion icon – besides a rainbow-butterfly-glitter-obsessed pre-pubescent teenage girl? Not me. Any classy chick might take a hint from Mary J. Blige, though, who almost always assures her boobs have a home and who'll perform this Saturday at the GM Style event, an invitation-only preview to the auto show. GM couldn't have made a better choice. And this clip from CNN below, of her singing orgasm-cajoling "Come to Me (Peace)" off her latest record (next single, yeah? please!), is just another single piece of evidence that Mary's better-with-age voice (which makes me wanna call Mary up and tell her, "I feel ya, girl") is sure to rev-up this car party. Look for coverage on Friday's GM fashion preview (see ya there, Mary!), which will feature A-list designers along with MJB and Maroon 5 (Adam Levine could model the undies. Just an idea.), who'll strut their stuff in some newfangled get-ups, in Between The Lines' Jan. 17 issue. For now, enjoy Mary belting – and working those ginormous hoops. And tell me: Which Mary J. song makes you move, or moves you, or soothes you? Hey, that rhymes!

Ah, and here's another. This Elton John cover just makes me wanna
get in the fetal position. Brandy feels my pain.
