Out of all the washed up R&B singers of her era, I think Monica stands the best chance at bouncing back. She's never really been a major crossover act, and she's never really wanted to be. And she really hasn't done anything to make people lose interest in her (other than toss out bad singles). I would even go as far as saying out of her peers, (Brandy, Mya, etc) she's probably the more respected one out the bunch. "Everytime Tha Beat Drop" did fairly well considering how bad it was. She really just needs the right single. Agreed on all points. She's not as washed up as any of them either. The fact that her big flop lead single went to #11 R&B already puts her ahead of her peers. If she puts out the right material, she'll be fine. Earlier this decade, she spent ten weeks at #1 on the R&B chart. None of her peers can say that either about anything they've done since the 90's.

Monica is on Yung Joc's new song "Ridah". It samples 2Pac's "Ambitionz Az a Ridah". She sings the hook and raps a verse. Boring.

I wonder if she's going to rap on this album, I wish she would do a full out rap song instead a part, and really go hard with it

I got TBIM album yesterday and I'm listening to it right now. "Misty Blue" is WOWOWOWOWOW unexpected! It was a nice style-shift surprise. I've also rediscovered "Angel Of Mine" and "For You I Will." "Ring Da Bell" is the only song I don't like at all so far.

I'm just saying, a talented and much privileged diva like her shouldn't waste her time on some z rated show that no one even cares about. If she wants to be in a reality show, then she just needs to make one of her own.

Real talk. I don't know where he got the idea that writing "has been" in dozens of threads is funny, because it's just annoying.

I do think Monica can net some success on radio. R&B is forgiving, and she does have more of a loyal respect than someone like Brandy or Mya'. That performance with Brandy shows how ghetto Monica is. It does not take all of that.

It does not take all of that. What? Please, I wish people would stop throwing the word "ghetto" to those of color, its very insulting. She did a great job with the track, you can tell her performance presence has gotten better since her earlier days, she owns the stage whenever she performs (in which every artist should)

Please. I am a person of color, and I know ghetto when I see it. Ok, let's not say ghetto. Monica is hood, then. She even admitted it in one of her songs--Too Hood.

And your point, it still doesn't excuse you of saying that word as well, what if she said she was "hood", it doesn't mean you have to refer to her everytime as being "ghetto" or "hood" because how she upholds herself.

Another Post on Monica Board
Hey guys. This is Siiren... I prooooooooooooomise you I heard the song last night. I dont think its called "Its Okay" personally BUT it was said alot in the hook. It has a street beat and shes singing very soft. Very pretty and very catchy. I am a huge Brandy fan but I love Mo too and I promise this was not to rouse up you guys. If its not Mo... then someone is realllllllly bititng her style.... tone... vibrato and all. But Im 95% percent sure its her. It was played during Greg Street's show and we all know that he debuts exclusives randomly with no prior announcements. He has even played unfinished demos of songs... The song is amazing. I really love it.... If by chance its not Monica... which I highhhhhhhhly doubt... I will come back and apologize.
