Why Didn’t Singer MARIO become a Bigger STAR? Stunted Growth Music

- Mario was just 15 years old at the time he burst on the scene, blowing up into one of the hottest new artist, with one of the hottest videos on the charts. His cover of Just a friend stormed up the charts, peaking as the 4th most popular song of the year in the U.S. Funny the song was actually given to Mario after Usher let the hit slip through his fingers because of a shelved album he never released. The song turned Mario into a household name, and honestly, was perfect and better suited for the teen star. His debut album would go gold behind that song and a few other singles, leading to his sophomore album 2 years later, that did even better. Album 2 had his biggest single to date leading it, a song called “Let me love you”. The song was an absolute hit, that became #1 across the charts in the U.S, going platinum and earned Mario a grammy nomination for best male vocal performance. That album remains Mario’s staple album and peak of his career. He’s released 3 more albums following over the years, but that was the final time he went gold or platinum, and hasn’t seen that level success or some would say anywhere close ever since. He was supposed to be the next big R&B star, but... what happened? Why Didn’t Singer MARIO become a Bigger STAR? Stunted Growth Music

Still a better vocalist than most of his generation. I thought Mario would be a huge star. In your opinion what happened?
In my opinion he got a deal with Nintendo and changed his nationality to Italian-American.
@@neonthunder3261🤣🤣🤣🤣
The label dropped the ball with him
Doing a piece on Magoo would be dope.

Also shout out to Neyo for writing “Let me love you” Classic song one of the best of that decade and the right person song it. Dudes voice is still crazy.
He also wrote Irreplaceable for Beyonce. He's written alot of hits for alot of singers.
@@Yourmomgoestocolledge That’s not new info lol
Mario is still extremely talented and has had a great career, especially with all the adversity he's had to overcome. His album "Closer to Mars" is really good and has that classic R&B sound.
Love that project I was listening to it again a few weeks ago!🧡🔥🧡🔥
What career 👀👀🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️💁🏽♀️💁🏽♀️???
@@angelaburress8586just because you have not kept up with him doesn’t mean no one has. There are artists out here making millions and you’ve never heard of them. I’m so serious. Not everyone has to be mega famous to make money and have a good career in art of all forms.
I love that album.. Diamonds is my favorite
He definitely should have skyrocketed after "Let me love you". At least he has a classic under his belt, that song is still a vibe.
Neyo wrote that song SMH
So And he got other hits just a friend 02, braid my hair, let me love you, etc
That "Go" album is an amazing piece of work.
Classic
Speak 🗣️ I played the hell out that album
I was a Sophomore going onto my Junior year of High School in that Summer of 2002. Hearing that single of his for the first time, I thought he was destined to last in the R&B scene for some time. Even though the 90's was over, Early to Mid 2000's R&B was still great and still had soul to it. It's a shame he never gained full momentum in the years going forward. He had a couple of other good hits too long after his debut.
We the same age I really miss those time especially 50¢ & ja rule era those days are like a fantasy compared to now
His issue with his mother. They got physical and that was a wrap. He can really sing
He Made It Far As A Man After Having The Mother He Has. Respect To Mario
Well said.
Damn, that’s crazy, but yet a true statement!
What? So his mom was worse than Prince's mom? Prince was homeless at 12.
I hope Mario can continue acting as well.....he was great in Empire!
That was a nice lil surprise
He is so fine
Mario was stunted by digital media prominence. He was one of the last teen artists that came out during a time of pure radio and television promotions and being more of the touring artist. Him, Bow Wow, and Romeo to be specific. Those around Bow Wow took advantage of new technologies and embraced the social media influences and Romeo was a brand all his own, even with Bow Wow adding MySpace and new cellphones to his videos at the time. Secondly, it was the fact that his songs stayed relatively mature when in comparison to his contemporaries Chris and Trey, he didn't pull party or fun in a young way. Which is a good thing now but in your early 20s as an artist is completely different. "Break Up" was a perfect example of the issue that I think he had in the late 2000s. Chris and Trey found that and "How Do I Breathe" was a Pop song on an R&B album and the DNA album really didn't have a direction that could have made him solidly in the R&B or Pop space. While this lane works for CB, it is hard for an artist like Mario to navigate.
Having three years between projects also didn't help him between 2004 and 2007. Because the 2007 sound was different and the singles released from "Go" just weren't what could have propelled him into the realm of popularity that was comparable to Chris or Trey at that time. Trey even didn't really blow until "Ready" and that was because of the rebrand that took three albums to get right.
I always felt as if "Kryptonite" should have been a single from the "Go" album and along with "Music For Love" and "Crying Out For Me". And that "Do Right" was a great song but out of place on the project. I think it would have been a dope move and another way to keep him feeling current. Because those singles did EXCITE us but I think there is still something left to be desired and I have been a fan since 2002.
Your comment ❤
Good points
Boyz II Men sang, 'I'll Make Love To You', Mr. Growth
I’ve definitely learned to appreciate all of the great music made over the years,because these songs hit even harder when you’ve haven’t heard them in awhile‼️
You should do Nivea she should have been bigger star.
Agreed
Juvenile deserves a Stunted Growth video. I enjoy the content.
You read my mind 💯💯💯👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Juvenile just did that Tiny Desk Concert with Mannie Fresh which is an instant classic.
I remember being younger and just a friend came on the radio years ago good times and let me love you is still a banger to this day and bro still talented to this day
Super underrated singer. I really wish they’d get him on tiny desk. Dude can still have a career. He could of take Chris brown lane after his incident or at least had a run during that time. He still makes music and I think had an album coming soon.
They still had way too much money still invested in Chris for him to fail that incident with Rih Rih was meant for for her to go to superstar levels and it worked 👀👀💁🏽♀️💁🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
@@angelaburress8586 It's a damn shame Chris and Mario could've blew up at the same time.
Wowww! I feel real old. He was born in 86 and I graduated high school in 84...Love his music!
You graduated two years before you were born?
@@USA-qm2bk I was born in 1966!

Mario is still relevant to R&B.
Marios debut single was NOT a cover. It uses elements of the original- which means it’s a sample. These days people like to say “interpolation”. But it’s is absolutely not a cover. Just wanted to put that out there.
Mario is still extremely talented and he really had a great career as a R&B singer. He’s better than Omarion as far as an entertainer. I remember they did a remix version of Just A Friend with the late rapper Biz Markie. He’s from Baltimore, too. Back then, when he was a teenager. Boom is still one of my favorite Mario song today as he worked with Lil’ Jon and Juvenile. Mario is more realer than Omarion will ever be. I get a gut feeling that Omarion is phony mane. Mario killed him in Verzuz as Omarion performed with the fake version of B2K. That’s messed up. He is very underrated as well as an actor when he appeared on a few movies and TV shows.
Bizz is from Long Island, NY bro
I wasn’t talking about Biz, I said that Mario is from Baltimore
@@charlescarey337 Biz Markie was born in New York City and raised in Long Island, New York. That’s an interesting fact. Also, he was best friends with fellow rapper Common.
@@blakebrown84no he wasn't
Well at least I tried…Biz Markie did have a lot of friends from the golden hip hop era.
I love Mario. I hoped he would glow back up after versus
I saw him on tour with Robin Thicke and Ne-Yo and he was by far the best performer.
MARIO IS A STAR IN HIS OWN ROIHHT! THE INDUSTRY DESTROYED HIM!!!! I HOPE HE WRITES A BOOK WITH A MYSTERY NAME!!!
You Should Let Me Love You
Top 5 R&B song of ALL TIME!!
He did his thang on Verzus TOO against Omarion. He was looking like Jadakiss and the Lox and had Omarion looking like Dipset 😂😅😂😅
you are trippimg Mario second album was tooi hard
Sadly the 3rd album was a great one. He's a great talent
Did HE really have stunted growth, or did the LABEL just shelf him???🤔 Yall be forgetting that the LABEL call the shots & is over their creative control. However, it still doesn't take away from MARIO'S TALENT. The man got VOCALS in REAL life. No autotune or lip syncing needed. *Cough cough*
I don’t think the labels shelved him. I think the traditional r&b sound died out when autotune started poppin, neyo Chris & the dream were writing more pop songs (irreplaceable, umbrella, disturbia)
This was quick you did Mario in 11 minutes smdh but his mother is one best looking heroine attacks I’d ever seen!!!!
Love the content!!!
Ive said it before but, i love your videos bro 👊👊
Tony Terry, next?
His song Come On (w/Just Blaze) is fiya too
I was heavily addicted to that song at 14 yo!🧡🔥🧡🔥
6:59 I remember at the time, Mario was bigger than Trey in 05. Just gotta make it & summer in Miami didn’t carry Trey’s career to new heights until 09. Mario’s competition in 05 was really Omarion & John Legend since they put out albums around that time. Him & John were nominated for a BET award
That 1st album a classic
Can I say this setback or always setup . When God ready for him to take his spot can’t no man stop it . I think he doing well for someone his age . Being at the top is not always where one need to be, just stay in the race and enjoy your journey God has it.
I love Mario! Day one fan!
It Was Crazy How The Wire Debuted & Mario Blew Up The Same Year. Bmore Had A Spotlight Fa Sho.
Let me love you song my fav song.
Damn..Neo wrote that hit for Mario, that was 🔥, I see why Neo blew up..but, what happened to Neo? Seems like he just disappeared..🤷🏽♂️
He's back making fire music now!
You know, I was just watching "Break up" music video a few weeks ago. Ironically, at the end, Mario says "I'm back!"...seeing this was his last hit lol.
The crazy part I went to highschool with him we had American government 9th grade year and he used to be always singing and said he was going to do music professionally and like year later or he came back performed at the school a couple songs of his first album
My Baltimore lil home boy.
Mario & his music is legendary. One song that i found on RUclips called " This is How Love Feels" was THE soundtrack for a trip i took to Dubai to party in 2011. All his albums were great albums. Salute to Mario. A Great Talent.
Great vid. Can you do one on the 90s group INTRO?
Hello good morning I loved the video! But not sure if noticed but you made a blooper I think you meant to say I'll Make Love to by Boys 2 Men instead of 112. Can you please do a video on the singer Sammy thanks!
I MELT 🫠 Everytime I hear his voice ‼️😍
Go was a excellent album love almost every track ya need to (Go) listen to it it still sounds fresh today no cap
This dude trippn… GO had HITS! Salute to bmores own Mario. 🫡🫡🫡
Mario career is being revived now after that Monster Vocal Display in the 🆚 against Omarion (basically Mario in a group when you think about it) He just put out a song and video with Wayne and Tyga. He also did an acappella version of let me love you on a freestyle series at a radio station earlier this month. He just need that one hit record. Just collab with Chris or HER and he’ll be back
He already had his single with Chris a couple years back. "Get Back" was slept on and deserved more. Another collab would be great but being indie makes things take more time. He may be taking the time to be more creative on his endeavors and wanting to craft a sound that is his distinctly
@@lilmissebbz116 you right because I forgot about that song
@@214silk2 Yes, it was a dope song. I definitely think now would be a great time for him to truly rise in the game.
The beat up asap rock bm line was crazy
and unnecessary
Boys II Men sang “I’ll Make Love to You.”✅
#Exactly‼️ I was writing this same comment until I saw yours.
I have always LOVED mario
“If you are old enough to remember 2002”……A lot of these people weren’t even born. 😂
My Favorite Singer
Label slept on that 3rd album, But Nelliville didnt go diamond. It is currently at 7 mill
I remember when I was a teen and Mario did a walkthrough at the teen club were at. He was like 16 at the time so he was out on the floor dancing with the girls. It humanized someone that we all thought was huge at the time.
He’ll be back out here with Ne-Yo and Robin Thicke next month so I know the concert is gonna be dope.
Yo you should do Bodega Bamz.
WTF Mario was a big star .. dude had huge hit records and success in the industry. Everybody can't be Micheal Jackson .. Mario had a decent run.
Breathe is My Favorite!
Magoo needs some light!
At some angles Mario looks like a young Chris Rock…
music for love
I'll Make Love to You by Boyz II Men not 112 but great video I got mad love for you stunted growth
Baltimores own 🔥🔥🔥. Highly underrated 💯
"Mario" had some real heavy competition while he was out such as "Chris Brown" , "Trey Songz", "Lloyd", & "Marquis Houston". However, he had some hits under his belt to be able to stand with the big names I mentioned.....I don't think he "Growth Stunned" I do think his team should of do more to push his career harder....can you image how large he would of been today ?
🎧🎤🎧🎤🎧🎤🎧🎤
Mario's singing ability is so proven, he could definitely get back on the map with the right team behind him. After that Versuz, I think Mario knows he could make some noise in R&B if he really wanted to take it there. Bro is that confident.
Overshadowed by an overcrowded industry. Call it unfortunate timing.
I think that’s basically it. Very unfortunate, because he is so talented.
Can you do Jhene Aiko please!
You should do a video on Sun N.Y. . He was hot and then nothing else that I can remember after his first single
Before beating up ASAP Rocky's baby mom...😂😂😂 you cold blooded for that 🥶
GO is FIRE ‼️🔥‼️🔥
I think wen Breezy hit the scene, some of these artists disappeared. Omarion, Mario etc
Should do one on Speaker Knockerz
He song “ I’ll make love to you by 112 “ … Mannn what !? Lol
You should do Keri hilson next
He is at the table
You should do Tony Thompson (his solo career). Thank you.
Who is that?
What about doing something about the new Jack swing artists of the 90’s
His career is dope guys go listen to his latest stuff he still got it Rip to his mother had no clue
GO was a great album
What about Jaheim ,Case , Darnell Jones, Sammie, Carl Thomas 🗣️🗣️👀
You need to do Twista
You should do J. Holiday next.
Can you do one on Keyshia Cole!
You should do a Stunt Growth video on Maino.
Can you do case next
He won that Verzuz though 😅
He is already a big star stop hating period
What hate? he shoulda been bigger. We wanted that for him
What stunted Mario growth Mario was the only r&b singer with no co-sign from a rapper especially Ne-Yo The Dream and Rihanna had Jay Z John Legend had Kanye Bobby V until his growth got stunted had Ludacris Lloyd had Irv Gotti and later on Lil Wayne Omarion had Marques Houston and later on Rick Ross Trey Songz career was saved by Jim Jones Mario was his own co-sign
I agree he had no rapper's on his music
He said "drip starter kit" 😅😅
He just kept disappearing. Make a hit then leave for yrs. Make a hit then leave. He never really had a real run. Not only the artists you named but Omarion and Lloyd as well. The lane was flooded. Mario was cool but u could give his hits to anybody. He wasn’t anything crazy tbh.
Great video, but I’ll Make Love To You was sung by Boys 2 Men, not 112, unless I’m missing something lol.
Just fyi - not sure if you noticed you said "I'll make love to you" was by 112 instead of Boyz II Men
I think one of his songs just got a reboot and is playing on the radio constantly. And please bear in mind, hip-hop killed R&B.
I was just listening to Am I wrong ? By Nico & Vinz. What happened to them?
What happened to Sammy? Great content.
Do VanN Demand or Hurricane Chris next
