Mary J. Blige's 2nd Single Confirmed

Mary J. Blige will apparently release "Hurt Again" as her 2nd single off the recently released Growing Pains album. Many people assumed "Work That" would be released, but I think, as great as that might have been ... yet dumb because I'm pretty sure "Just Fine," a similar track, was no "Be Without You," success-wise ... there was no point, as any song featured in any iTunes commercial will sell and promote enough due to that mere fact. However, with the poll recently posted on Blige's official site, it seemed the fans would have more of a choice (or at least more time!) to pick the next single. Personally, as my sidebar might suggest, I believe there are better tracks. I wouldn't expect the powerful album closer "Come To Me (Peace)" to be chosen, at least not at this point in the game, but there are better "BWY Pt. 2"s on the record, (possibly) such as radio-friendly "Stay Down", and songs that are too good to be given that label, such as "Feel Like A Woman" or "Fade Away." In any case, they have chosen.
