I kind of like "Superman" but its little boring to me as well. Its too generic for my liking. All of this!

The album is still #2 on the R&B chart and #9 on the Billboard 200, it's actually her longest run in the top 10 ever. I think it just outsold "The Makings of Me" actually.

Yes, the album has officially outsold The Makings of Me. It is also her first album to spend a solid month inside the top-10 on Billboard Top 200 and it has also been certified Gold.
Everything to Me spends its 5th week at #1 and Here I Am does impact May 3rd. The remix with Jamie will surface at a later date.

She is going to be the R&B darling during awards season! She really is. It's here time FINALLY!! I know she's going walk away with the BET Awards and I'm hoping the Grammy's will show her love in the R&B categories. She's an early favorite for R&B Female Vocal for "Everything to Me." Of course Mary will be in the field as well as Melonie Fiona.

^ Don't forget Alicia though. They give her Grammys for sh!tting in a toilet bowl. I hope Monica gets some love.

I love "Stay or Go." It's probably my favorite on the album after "Everything to Me."

I really want to see Monica win that solo Grammy for Female R&B Vocal Performance. That voice just developed into magic and she totally deserves a win, IMO. I love Melonie and Mary but Monica just sh-t on 'em so far this year. Go Mo!
And congrats on the album certification! :)

The Academy has never been a big Monica fan, I think getting nominated is the most she can hope for. The only thing they've ever nominated her for is "The Boy Is Mine", nothing else from any of her other albums. I think she will get nominated this time around but I don't see them giving anything to her over Alicia and Mary. Doesn't matter, the Grammy's are meaningless.
I'm hearing the album is about to be or has already been certified gold because it's shipped 500,000. TMOM isn't even gold after almost four years.

I think maybe she can get some attention and get some nominations this time but I just feel like she is not the type to go taking a bunch of awards next year.

I don't think much of her material has ever stood a chance until this album. If there was a single that could win her a Grammy, it's 'Everything to Me'. I think she's strong competition for Mary and Alicia with that one

Monica performed a tribute to Whitney at a recent concert. She's so damn good.

She just SHAT on Whitney for real given all her recent performances of that song all over Youtube and HAHAHA at her sipping tea. You better get it Ms Monica. One of the best vocalists out there right now.

ETM gets a seventh week at #1 although it loses its bullet for the first time. it's her biggest hit (R&B chart wise) aside from "The boy is mine".

If You Were My Man is too 80s to be a single. That sample doesnt work well. It makes the song sound really old. I'm not feeling that song either.

the demo for "Nothing Like" leaked , Ester Dean is singing T-Pain's parts, i see why it didn't make the album it doesn't really fit in.

2nd single has been switched to Love All Over Me. That was Monica's choice from day one.

Mary's last couple of albums haven't ben all that to me. Alicia's is kinda good, but Monica by far as the best album i think, Melanie was nominated for a grammy at the past grammys so i don't know about her. Mariah had a great album in Memoirs and i think that should be nominated also.
