I think the bottom line is, they will never be friends, and people just need to let it go. I think they have a mutual respect for one another, and have no problem checking in every now and then. But their personalities just don't mesh. And that's completely fine.

I will say if it's the right coin for a tour, the tension will magically dissapear.
What is the actual beef behind The Boy Is Mine?(which cracks me up cause Monica used that as her album title sksks)

I kinda love that while Monica is dominating the Itunes singles charts, Brandy is seeing a nice bump on the album side (which seems in line with their careers).
Edit: I'm also thrilled that Trenches is off to such a strong start, and that Sideline Ho is in there. My only wishes woulda been to hear Street Symphony and Without You last night. What can I say, I'm greedy!

People need to factor in that there was 8 years of no communication between the two and they only talked for the first time last week. Couple that in with years of shade from one side my ass would be stiff, too.

Especially in contrast with Brandy who was putting on for the cameras last night.

I feel like they have such different personalities that, not only do they not really mesh the way people expect them to, but the people watching had pretty polarized views of how each of them came off. Different strokes..

Different strokes.. We all saw ourselves in one personality and ran with it. I'm the Monica type so that joking and sh!t you have to be REAL careful to hit that punchline right or we'll be in the weeds. The Brandy archetypes annoy the hell out of me with that zest for life mess. I can appreciate the energy and admiration, but I'm also going to tell you that you're doing a bit too much to make it seem as if we're 100% cool, all in the same breath.

For selfish reasons I do want a tour though. And I can imagine the bag for them both would be really nice.

I know it had no chance since it's not even on Spotify (damn you, 90s/00s soundtracks!), but I wish she would've played "Just Another Girl". It's such a forgotten bop!

I was shocked to see that Monica has had a lot more chart success than Brandy (higher peaks), I would have bet it was the other way around.
Anyway, I gotta watch this. But 3 hours is a long ass time...

The way my ass would've moved for the corny bop All Eyez on Me! They both could've gone on for a few more rounds because I needed: Tell Me If You Still CareHell No (Leave Home)Here I AmI Wrote This SongWhy HerDON'T GOTTA GO HOME!

I’ll have to pull out my CD. Edit: just looked it up. It was on a limited addition CD. 01. Too Hood 02. Down 4 Whatever 03. What Part of the Game 04. Searchin 05. So Gone (video)

I really wish Monica would have addressed last night that female r&b singers like her and brandy were intentionally edged out in the early 00s by Beyoncé and her relentless beehive & their hate campaigns. These two are talented and definitely had some hits left.
