Hi | Lo

Visit Mario's official site.

Check out the exclusive Kiwibox Mario contest here!

Mario, a Baltimore native, is quickly climbing the charts with his hit single "Just A Friend 2002." If you haven't heard Mario's song, you must have had your radio turned off all summer. The infamous lyrics "Oh baby you got what I need" from "Just A Friend 2002" made it to the top 10 list of the radio airplay charts shortly after its release. After "Just A Friend" took over the radio waves, it also hit BET's 106 and Park Countdown, shooting straight to the number 1 spot. This boy is hot stuff.

Here's proof of his talent: singing and piano-playing sensation Alicia Keys is featured on two songs on Mario's self-titled debut album, Mario. "He has one of the most beautiful and original voices I've ever heard from such a young man," said Keys about Mario. People are agreeing--fans flock to see him and hear him sing. His CD is being rapidly scooped up. After spending only 2 weeks on the Billboard charts so far, Mario is currently the fifth best selling R&B/Hip-Hop album in the country (last week it beat out The Eminem Show for the number three spot).

I think he's a really good singer,plus he could be a good role
model for young people out there.
Mario this has been a great time of hearing your music on 106 also
the radio. Igot to tell u one thing your are so fine u blow my
mind. I love u so much. Well getting short so let me put that "H"
on that "olla" and let u know that I shall "Holla" back so! I LOVE
U!!!!!
Mario is a relly good singer. I love the things he talks about.
He's so postive. And we need more positive singers in the music
industry.
Mario has accomplished somthing that most people never accomplish
in their life. He is a very talented young man,and words could not
regocnize his talent.He has a beautiful voice,and extraordinary
talent for someone of his age.Good luck with your life,and your
future albums sweetheart!
His lyrics are so understanding. I just love they way he sings. I
music to my ears. He is so very sweet and romatic. I love the way
he dance in his songs. I his more than a Just a friend he is a
beautiful star. He is so sweet, pretty, handsome, and much more.
I think that Mario is the most talented singer so far. I hope to
meet him soon. I meet him once and he blew the crowd away. I hope
he's nominated for something.
this is good music he sings what we like to hear he is just great
Mario is a talented singer and has beat out eminem which is sad to
see because i am a huge eminem fan, however i think mario has good
songs and anyone who is well-liked by mainstream of music should
be in the best spot!

i jus wish we could be friends.i'll be there for u when u need so
if u want me 2 put it on u. ur lovergirl 'blue sparkles'
I just came to say hello and i wish you the best. i hope the song
keep coming and keep looking good.peace

The reason i love Mario is because he has his own style he is fine
and a sweet and angelic voice. His lyrics inspire me. The fact
that he is still very young is good because he can relate to
everyone even the older community.
Damn he is so sweet he gives me a tooth ache.
I think mario is fine because he has a good voice and he reaches
out to people from his songs. He dresses the best. I love mario
and all of his songs. They inspire me

he's is more than a friend.he is like a boy just lookin for that
special person.i am going to be that special person 4 life.

Mario is mmm mmm good. His voice, lips, looks, eyes are just the
perfect combination for a 15 year old singer. He has it all. I
love Mario.
I love Mario to death. He's eye candy to me and I love every bit
of him. I'll get a cavity if I get too much of him. But, don't
stop, I wish him the best of luck and I can't wait until his next
Cd comes out. I'ma Cop that one as well. I love his song "Never"
and " Just A Friend2002". I still say he wouldn't sang that song
if he were with me!!!!!!!!!!
I think that Mario has a good style and good looks. He dresses
really nice. I really like his clothes that he wears and his songs
too.

That song wouldn't have ever been on his mind if I were with
Mario. And I'd Come On any time he asked.If you feel the same hit

like you. So more or less Im defending your name and I hope since

teenage love that is very difficult for teenagers to express. He
has the a wonderful voice and a man any teenage girl would love.

I LOVE MARIO (THE NEW SINGING SENSATION). HE HAS EVERYTHING:THE
LOOKS, THE VOICE, AND THAT BEAUIFUL SMILE. I THINK HEIS VERY
TALENTED AND HAS THE VOICE THAT WOULD MAKE A GROWN MAN CRY.LOL
I like Mario because ha has a beautiful voice, and that is very
admirable for someone as young as him
Mario is very young and very talented. He is also original not
dissin the other boy toy artist but it is something special about
him. I am sure is family back home are proud of him because most
of his fans are Mario keep doin what your doin you handsome young
man you!!!!!!!!

teribly upset but I love Mario still. He is so talented and I want
him to know I vote for him all the time on 106 and park. I love
you Mario.

He has such a beautiful voice. He also acually sings unlike most
of new young male artist. His voice is just so soothing and
harmanizing. I really have more to say but my brother is kicking
me off the computer. Luv ya Mario!
The reason why I like Mario is because he looks good and he can
sing. I f any man can sing as good as Mario they can sing to me
any day all day.
I luv his songs and he is sooo fine for a 15 yr. old!!
His music is great for him to be so young. You don't see that many
young men doing it for the fun other than Mario and B2K. I really
like his songs and how he knows his age.
Mario is mad talented and cute.Mario is an insperation to all
future singer. Even thiugh I'm his #1 fan and give him a lot of
support People dont give him all props. Mario is positive in his
music andI believe that Mario has an unique talent which is hard
to come by but people always saying he is just a kid but kids are

accomplish. Holla

Hey, even though I think that Mario is hott and all, I think its
really awesome that he is so young and is making it so big. He
shows that if you want something so much, you can get it. Also,
he's cool because he is from Baltimore and that's around me.
Anyways, I love his song "Just a friend" because it can relate to
alot of people and that makes alot of people like it.

I think Mario is so fine. I like his song Just a friend 2002. I
think that song is tight. Its a great summer hit. I like the beat
to it. My favorite part is when he say I stay whip I stay lace and
I know you know I'm fly. I think me and him could make a Just
friend 2003 together. I would wanna be more than his friend. I
would wanna be his girl. I think he's got a smooth nice style.
If I win or lose this contest I'm still go hold it down for my
cutie pie Mario. I would be more than happy to braid his hair. All
he got to do is call me, when he need me, baby he don't have to
worry. Let me stop trying to be Tweet. A little advise for Mario
reach for the stars and don't take nothing less than the best.
I am back for a second day determined to win this contest cause I
love Mario too much with his sexy sexy self!!!
Dat Hot Girl~

success with his music, and that he does not lose his focus or
goal.
I am not going to put all sorts of words so that I will be picked.
I have not written here for a long time. I won't lie just to win
an autographed CD from Mario. I love Mario and I plan about our
life together. I will do anything for him. I love him with all my
heart and I know he has talent, which most singers out there wish

i tHiNk mario is a great artist.he has alot of talent and
potential. Unlike other artists he is not singin about drugs money
or sex.that seems to be the most common issue out now.mario is one
of my favorite artists and i am glad that he has been signed to a
major record company because now everyone does not have to listen
to all the rap and other types of music.i hope to win this concert
because im a true fan not just beacuse i knew him before he became
famous but for the person he truely is. i hope u never forget your
true friends from teneck.
mario is so fine $$$$ i just wish that i can meet him that would
make my day.
Mario is so0o0o0 cute!!! I loved his first single more then just a
friend!!! I was going through a tough time with this guy when I
first heard it and it was exactly how I felt about this guy...I
wanted, well still want him as more then just a friend. :( !!!
Mario is so cool though!!!
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THE LONGEST
WHO ARE THE WINNERS?????
Mario is so hot, i really like the way he dances.....and i wish if
i can meet u somehow

Mario's voice is so great--he definitely sounds older than 15!
And plus, this version of the song is so much better than the
original version--he can actually sing it well!
Today's Date: October 2, 2002
Contest Ended: September 12, 2002

KIWIBOX, we're all ready to know the winners of the contest. So
cough them up!


it October 1 almost a whole month i want to know who won
I have to say I love his voice. He is so talented with it.
Although he is not as cute as I would expect him to be, but his
big voice makes him so fine. WHen I heard "Just a Friend 2000" I
went so crazy for it that I recorded and waited until cam on again
to record the full version. omg. I was so excited about finding
out who this boy was, then the next week his video came on BET. I
quickly grabbed my recordingvideo tape out put it in the VCR and
recorded. I always learned the words that I love the most. MArio
is so talented.
Mario do put his thang down and the new song that he has is the
bom.I can't wait til he come to philly.
Today is: September 29, 2002
The contest was supposed to end: Eptember 12, 2002

So I have just one question...
Why is this still going on?
Today is: September 28, 2002
The contest was supposed to end: September 12, 2002
I'd really like to know who has won the contest, so I'd know if
I've won an autographed CD for my best friend, Aliah.
So, KiwiBox, could you please announce the winners, SOON!!!
I THINK MARIO IS A ROLE MODEL FOR ALL KIDS. HIS MUSIC AND CREATIVE
IMAGE MAKE GIRLS LIKE ME WISH THERE WERE MORE BOYS LIKE HIM. I
KNOW MARIO IS AS UNIQUE AS THE OTHER SINGER AND RAPPER. BUT I SURE
HE WILL GET FAR. I LIKED THE ARTICLE.
MARIO KEEP YOUR HEAD UP.
P.S. HE IS ALSO VERY CUTE.


dayum i love dat new video braid mah hair!!! mario kno he pimpin
wif dat whyte suit on!! i love him!!

~Chelle
wen are the winners gonna be annouced ive been waitin
i like how mario sings its like his song "just a friend" is so so
so so so cool like 2 win his cd. LATERZZZZZ!!!!
-- elias
I love his voice and his talent is unremarkable. I love his new
video Braid My Hair only it should be me in that video cuz I can
braid!

I'm real sorry I missed the making of your video last night, boo.
Don't worry, I'll see it today. It's gonna be the new jam of the
day on 106 & Park.

Well, I really don't have anything to tell you. I just want the
winners of the contest. I'm hoping I won an autographed CD for my
best friend, Aliah. She really likes you. She luvs ya! Even
more than me, but I'm having better luck with you than she is. (I
already have an autographed CD of your self named album.)
mario i love him and his hot new video. he is soooo cute!!
MARIO!!!!!OH MY GOD I LOVE YOU,FROM THE FIRST TIME I HEARD YOUR
JAM,I KNEW IT WAS HOT!SO PLEASE PICK ME!!!!!

I really want this to end. I wanna know who won. I wanna know if
I won. But since this is going on I should tell you that I saw
you on the 500th episode of 106 and Park on BET today. I think
you looked really nice. I like how you got the crowd going.
Changing around your song to fit the audience. I was loving it,
up until you told that girl that you loved her. You told me that,
too, you know. But you wouldn't really remember. Too busy to.
And she told you the same thing I told you. "I could braid your
hair". but I said for free. The first time we met, that's what I
told you. The second time we just had a little conversation. You
made me feel kinda special. So far, that day, I was the only girl
you had a real conversation with. But I know there were more
after me. I know because your *MARIO* and I'm just Rakasha.

Madd luv 4 ya, boo

Seems like your contest is still going on. Haven't they found any
winners? It's September 18th, the contest is supposed to be over
with...

But anyway, I wanted to tell you about my problems. Some
people... actually alot of people smacked me with reality. They
told me the truth. That you would never feel me the way I feel
you. And it's not because of who you are or even about who I am.
It's about how old I am. Everyone knows... well, all your fans
that think they're your #1 should know that you like older women.
And that's my dilemma. We're the same age. In the same grade and
everything. We just don't have the same birthday.

And another dilemma I have is that alot of people don't believe me
when I tell them that we're cool peeps (meaning we've met a couple
of times). They say I'm a liar. I'm not a liar, even if you
can't differentiate me from a whole bunch of other girls that
wanna be all in your face. I know I don't wanna be all in your
face.I don't luv you, like alot of these other girls are saying.
Only one boy stole my heart and his name isn't Mario.

I like your music, though. At first I wasn't even interested in
you. I just saw your video on 106 & PArk, on the #1 spot
everyday, but I never really paid attention to YOU! I luved your
song, though. *Just A Friend 2002* It's so catchy and sweet.
It's just something about it. That's why so much people luv it.
I know I do, but it isn't my favorite. Chick Wit Da Braids is.
'Cause I could relate to that song. Most of the time my hair is
braided, but not always. I have an Escalade. My home girl is
chocolate, while I'm caramel. Alot of girlz think I'm triflin,
when I'm really not. Because all the boyz like me, or think I'm
pretty, or talk to me more than they talk to them.

Well, if your reading this, I hope you take it into consideratino.
I really don't wanna be a *groupy* or one of your little *#1
fans* I don't like those ideas because it makes it seem like I'm
a nobody, while your a somebody. 'Cause I'm a somebody. Even
though my name might not be plastered all over the place, I am a
somebody.

I'm just the somebody that you need... LOL... {just playing}

Well, I see yah when I see yah!
Lata

--Your *Home girl*
---Rakasha Carter
I got a dilemma, Mario. I got a man and I got you. My man wants to
leave me cause all I talk about is you. I love you. You are the
BOMB!!!!!!!!!!

I.. love you, and I.. need you
Mario I.. love you, I do.. neeeeed you - but

No matter what I do, all I think about is you
Even when I'm with my boo, boy y'know you know I'm crazy over you
No matter what I do, all I think about is you
Even when I'm with my boo, y'know I'm crazy over you
I.. love you (word?) and I.. need you
Mario I.. love you, I do.. (c'mon girl)
And it's more than you'll.. ever know
Boy.. it's fo'sho
You can always count on my love
Foreveeeeer more, yeahh-yeahh..

all crazy and his videos are off the hook. i love you mario. see u
soon. hey papi!
I saw him in concert this summer. I have always likes the song
"Just a Friend 2002," but seeing him in concert, i like him more!
He's a great artist, and that song is awsome...
I notice that the contest still seems to be going on. So, good
luck to everyone.

MARIO!!!....LOL

HE IS SO FINE EVEN THOUGH HE IS 2 OR 3 YRS. YOUNGER THEN ME. I
WOULD DEFINETLY MEET HIM ON THE 2 TRAIN.
i think he is so sexy????
I notice some people still think Mario is 15. Well he's not, his
birthday already past. But anyway, Mario is so fine. I mean he's
just like B2K. Young, cute, and has a beautiful voice. If only he
new how much i want to meet him. But I anm glad he doesn't think
he's all that and never forgets out his fans. Also doesn't act
tooo grown up. I just hope I win. Well i'ma 'bout to bounce up out
of herre. Stay cool!! :)


From what I'm seeing, it's as thought the contest isn't over.
That's a good thing. Now there can be more winners and more
runners up.

Mario knows how I feel about him and what I think about him. A
lot of other people know, too. But, I'd never get tired telling
why. I love Mario because he's Mario. He keeps it real. His
money isn't blinding him, he still acts like sixteen. The way
he's supposed to act, even thought he doesn't like younger girls
or girls his age. He has a wonderful singing voice. That could
put a smile on anyones face. And he's a cutie. My cutie.

Keep up the good work, Mario. Stay cute. You know. Just stay,
YOU!

-Your #1 Fan
--Rakasha *Chrystal* Carter

wanna ell you good luck. Good luck in the music business. You

Mario I love you and you are incredibly talented and I just hope I
win this autographed CD. I can't wait until your video is the new
joint aon 106 and Park and I watch it everyday hoping Free and Aj
say we have a new joint from Mario, his second single "Braid My
Hair". That song is really sweet and lets me know that you are a
genuine person and not just some boy who is only in the game for
the cash and fame it is more than that Mario and I know you know
it. Mario keep doing what you do cause I will love you for it.
Mario seems like a cool guy to jus chill and hand wit. I wouldn't
be mad if he was just a friend. But i wanna be a friend with
privileges.
Well I know that today is the last day for the Mario contest so
I'd just like to wish everyone good luck who is enterin this
contest. Now I just wanted to say that Mario is the best out there
and any1 that thinks he isnt is crazy. I wish Mario the best in

I think that Mario will be out in the music business for a while
cuz he has the top 3 things that you need in the music business:
voice, looks, and moves. He is a talented singer and should go
far.
Mario has amazing talents for only being 15 years old. He has a
very talented voice, abosolutely gorgeous and he can dance really
good! what more can u ask for? He has original voice and he's real
down to earth about his success, he doesn't let it get to his
head. He throws a great stage performance too! He's doing whatever
he can to help promote his album, and he's doing it alone too,
from the Nick Concert, the Early Show, to the Montell Show. I
think it takes a lot of talent and time to do something like that,
and I just gotta give him madd props for it! And the fact that
he's not tryin to be anybody else but himself is great. I think
it's abosolutely cool that he's from my hometown! Finally someone
to represent B-more too!!!
As we say in Baltimore "Do the damn thang" Mario!

Hi, mario is good but I don't think he's the next stevie wonder.
But he is good.
mario is such a great singer!! I can't wait for his next single

Mario is just very talented. He's like the next Stevie Wonder. I
am loving his debut album "Mario". My favorite songs are "Just A
Friend 2002" amd "Two Train". Mario is what I call a new
outstanding singing sensation.
my sis in in love withthis boy she saw him she kiss him
I love his music... he is the best!
I eally love me some mario. He has a great voice and I would love
to have his album and not only that meet him in person one. To me,
he seems nice and not one of them stuck up guys that'll think they
all that (even though I never met him) But I just hope he could
perform in that STL fo' sho.
Hey, whatz up yal. Just wanna say happy belated b-day to Mario. I
know he's 16. Also that i really love your song Just a friend and
Braid My Hair.

Mario is a great artist. He realy knows how to hold a tone. I
thing he'll come up in the world as a great singer
Mario is sooo bangin hott.I like his song Just a Friend cuz so
many ppl {like me} can relate to it like u ask sum one u really
like out and they say i dunno,were just friends or sum-1 dumps u
cuz they just wanna be friends even though u want more.
I think that some people... well, most people, still think that
Mario is 15. Well, he's not. He's a big boy. His birthday was
August 28... he's sixteen now!

Just wanted to let every one know...

I saw mario perform last night and he was so hott!!! I love mario

Mario is soo coooooool like OMG!
Mario, is seriously one of the best R and B guys his age. IN
twenty years we will all be saying Brian McKnight who? And not
only his Mario a really great singer he seems like an awesome
person that would want to be friends with everyone. I would love
to see his career blossom even more this year. I look foward to
see what he is going to be doing in the future.

I think Mario is a great performer. I like his single Just A
Friend 2002. It's a good song.

Mario is definitely an all around great artist! He seems to have
charisma as well as an imense amount of talent!
I love Mario because he is so cute and I can relate to some of his
music. He has a beautiful voice for a fifteen year old. I can't
wait until he goes on tour.
I'm in love with Mario's music. His style and lyrics is just the
way I like it. He is cute and one of my peers so I can relate to
what he be talking about. If I win his cd he would never have to
worry about not getting any props cause he would forever be
played. Even if his cd is 10 years old. Especially ''Braid my
Hair.''
i can't wait to see u at the back to school jam mario cause imma
win the contest to braid ya hair holla!!!
I really respect him as a singer. I Think he can go a long way.
and i love this songs! And i love this voice!!!!!
I like MARIO because he can sing and he can dance. Also becuse he
has one of those voices that when you hear it your day just gets
better(AT LEAST FOR ME IT DOES).Also because he's a down to earth
person.Just because he's a celebrity doesn't mean he has to act
stuck up and he he's not like that.
I like MARIO becuase he can sing and he can dance. Also becuse he
has one of those voices that when you hear it your day just gets
better(AT LEAST FOR ME IT DOES). That's why I like MARIO.
Mario is just very talented. For him to be only 15 and is selling
records like that, you must know the young boy is HOT!!!! I think
Mario is so CUTE!!!!! He could get me to braid his hair any day. I
think in his song he sends positive messages, and it still be
things that we want to hear. He can sing his butt off of course
and he can dance. So ya mean he's just doin' his thing real big
and i like that. So big ups to him ya mean and get at me.
I love Mario! hes one of the new young singers that are coming out
right now like B2k,etc.Also I think he has so much talent that he
do great in the music indusry he keeps himself humble, which some
young singers can get wrapped up in. And also i think hes a role
model for young boys, that they don't have to go like the
hard-core rappers do, and keeping it nice and real with the ladies
that everybody can relate too-even parents! So I think the article
you did was great!;and Mario is a real true promising talent- he
has got Alica Keys singing his praises too- so i think he is
getting everybody else too! Keep up the good work!
Because he has a nice urban sound his music really touches me and
relates to alot of teenagers and also is soo cute.He's the best
new artist i have seen in along time he needs to keep the job up!

Mario's #1 Fan Dayanna
I like mario because his voice is so nice and he is a good role
model for younger boys because he doesnt cuss in his sounds and
doesn't disrespect women. his music tells listeners that he is a
real person who isnt always happy and misses his family and
friends when he doesnt see them.I think that Mario is way better
than bow wow because he is real.
Mario is my favorite singer at this time. From his style to his
voice and straight down to his dance moves he can do it all. He is
very talented and deserves everythin that comes his way. I hope to
be hearin his new song hittin the airwaves very soon!! 1
I like Mario and style because he does not dress like he is a thug
he dresses like he is somebody. I also love his clothes because
they are fashionable and very nice. I like Mario's songs because
his lyrics are inspiring and you can relate them.
Like I said before, I could really respect a guy like Mario! I
think even just the name of the song "Just friends." Shows what a
a real gentleman he probably is! Way to go Mario!
i think mario is so foine and hes a great singer!!!
what talent! it's rare these days to find someone who can do
something other than just sing. i haven't heard of him before
this, so thanks kiwibox for "informing" me of all these *great*
new artists

Mario is such a great singer and dancer!! He is going to make it
really far in his career!!! Keep doing your thing mario!!
Mario is one of the best new artists that have came out in the
teen scene. We will definitely be seeing a lot more of Mario in

~Chelle
its amazing that hes so young and has a record deal.
I love listening to Mario because of his voice and style. When I
hear his music it is up-beat, but it dowsn't make you edgy, like
some of the other music I listen to. The Lyrics aren't just about
drgs sex and violence either. It is such a nice change from the
usual new hot cd! Oh and the fact that he's hot factors in!
Hey mario is CUTE awwww aint he sweet? His style is so authentic
and he has a thing about him that no one else does. His voice is
pure and it all flows together. His dancing is awesome! he pops on
the beat has enthusiasm and looks like he is enjoying himself! he
definately is a great performer and a great guy! good luck on your
hits bay-bay mario!
i love mario he is so hot and so is his music i love his style and
the way he dances i would like to be a winner cause i love mario
and would like to hear his voice even though it sounds good on t.v
but would like to reallt hear it please let me win!!!
