It's got to be hard on her team and her because it is going to be VERY HARD to find a song that shows her vocal range and is true to us fans with no gimmick, yet still crossover. There's not alot of songs with substance crossing over right now. She went in with enough people to where I feel that she can still bring it out on a record. It enjoyed it. Let's see what her and Babyface or R.Kelly or Dianne Warren came up with.

I do not like "Still Standin" at all. None of the songs were good on the show, except for maybe the Stargate track.

Thats a straight up Urban and Rythmic SMASH! but not Pop. Ludacris is a great addition aswell. I love that its not a typical B-Cox mid-temp. That up-tempo beat makes it more of an anthem for her. My only gripe is that Bryan Michael Cox be jamming to his productions a little TOO damn hard. yeah he was jammin a little too hard to his own productions. Half of those beats were wack I had that same face Monica had on when he played that first beat and was jamming like a fool like it was a SMASH! I loved when she said WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?! I KNOW THAT AINT FOR ME

Monica needs to go with the surefire hit. "Taxi" is a 4 format number one smash. They should book it as the first single, and use "Still Standing" as a hype record.

It seems like there's conflicting reports of what the show is gonna be (either a Monica series, or a series about the producer, Bryan Michael Cox).

It turned me off for a minute too. Monica atleast got the right bounce to the song. He was double-timing the hell out of it.

The industry is so sad, that a song like "Still Standing" is no good. You can't even release a single with an actual subject and get a hit. smhid

They're going to Missy for the single. Clive said he wants Monica to come out with a "Let It Go" taken to the next level. Plus, Missy brings out Mo's soulfulness in a way no one else really does so I think they are gonna create some more heat. So Gone still sounds fresh and unique.

I hope it's not "A Dozen Roses" part II. Love that song, but not as a single. "So Gone" was the shit! Whatever they do I hope it's able to crossover. Without a crossover hit Monica may have a difficult time get past gold status.

I think Monica needs to stay away from Missy. "So Gone" was the shit, but everything else she's done with Monica is trash.

I finally heard the snippet of "Still Standing", its definitely hot and I do get the "Side Effects" from it too but SS is much hotter though (SE had to grow on me). She sounds good. I want to hear "Taxi" now.

Still Standing is a great record! I want this Monica to come back. I really believe it'll be like Faith Evan's Again. It's personal but at the same time the right first single. I agree with Monica. I don't care what the label says. I'm still standing. That's the song to go with.
