I’m mad that I missed this performance of two of R&B’s premiere artists, Keyshia Cole and Monica. Keyshia sounded a little shaky in the beginning but she pulled it out (was she nervous?)

Monica’s voice is so melodic………
No she wasn’t nervous. That is how she sings. She’s actually getting better, but she’ll never be a match for Monica.
Thanks Sandra for posting…love you!! Yes, Keyshia got nervouse when she saw Mo walk up on stage with such fierce stage prescence….like oh my…which is ok, cuz Mo been in the game since she was 12. I woulda been a lil nervous too..But Keyshia got it together…
I love love KC…just went to her concert, but there is absolutely NO COMPARISON to Monica. Jamie Foxx said it best, there is no other like MOnica..Yes Beyonce is extremely POLISHED and PUT TOGETHER, but Mo is that RAW TALENT>..HANDS down..She can just SANG and has stage presence out the a$$!!!
So ready for Mo to return…the stars are aligning for her…this is her year..She just bet not disapoint with the music cuz people are FEELIN MOnica now..more than they ever have and I been a fan since 95
Are they not lip synching to a track?
Oh and get in on that Michael Jackson inspired jacket and gloves Mo had on….they were not ready…Did yall peep at the end how Keyshia had to tap MO on the shoulder, cuz Mo was letting her have it…
I dont think they were trying to out do each other (thats so Brandy/Monica 98) cuz i believe they genuine friends, but Mo is just that bish
I think it is horrible that Monica has yet to find the production team to give her the music that would propel her to superstardom. It’s ridiculous that her career has not taken off in all these years.
OFF TOPIC <<<—- BECAUSE I HATE THAT YOU SHOW THESE PEOPLE SO MUCH LOVE AND TRY TO TEAR DOWN AN ICON.
Michael Jackson wrote Do the Bart Man for The Simpsons.
My S/O said Michael Jackson is a one man stimulus package. His death has broght ratings to media.

Now **** you know that’s a lie I dnt get how u hate on beyonces vocals but flopica does the same **** and its good? She hasn’t changed in 14 years this is why she is so far irrelevant that she can’t even get a label to set aside a budget to promote her flop ass…
And trust was a FLOP!
Month showed ot on Trust…she really did her thing I was so proud of her…Keyshia did good as we’ll but Month stole the show she looked really nice

We have a Lisa in the family and whenever it’s her birthday, we sing that song lol.
(sidenote, Mike epps woulda got cursed out if I was KC tho)
*****************************************
Did you peep that comment? Keyshia, Monica and her mamma Frankie? I was like why is Frankie on stage with Keyshia now. That was wrong of him. But he is a corny a8s comedian who really shucks and ducks for the dollar. I haven’t found him funny since Friday.

=====================
Now…we KNOW that’s not why Monica hasn’t been as big as Beyonce…Monica is BLACK, no two ways about it…and getting her to transfer over to pop…NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!!!
Monica is caught up in the horrors of modern day music business…today’s music business dosen’t try to SUSTAIN R&B acts…But what I have ALWAYS liked and admired about Monica is that she makes sure she stays RELEVANT!!!
@iscream…i just read this on rhymeswitsnitch site : on The Simpsons - but it remained a secret for 12 years. He voiced a character in a mental institution in the Stark Raving Dad episode, which aired in 1991, but, because of a contractual problem, Jackson had to be credited as John Jay Smith. His contribution to the classic cartoon series remained a rumour among fans until The Simpsons creator Matt Groening confirmed it really was Jackson when the episode was released on DVD in 2003
****************
when i use to watch this show for years i always remember seeing the name :JOHN JAY SMITH in the credits ..so i think he had more to do with the show then what is said above
im just glad KC didnt come out in a cavilers jersey…..
Thanks for that SHANIASMOMMA that really made my heart
I love love love the simpsons.
@17
RELEVANT?? MONICA WAS NEVER AS BIG AS ANYOEN SHE COMPETED AGAINST she cant ACT cant DANCE and has the same tired way of singing,
BRANYD, ALLIYAH, BEYONCE, KEYSHIA ALL SELL MORE THAN HER FLOP ASS and have punched her out the game, monica hsant been relevent since angel of mine and THATS THE GETCHA GOTCHA!
her records sales do all the talking about her relevancy didnt her” FANS” bootleg her labum so bad she had to come back with a entirely different one?? MONIca attracts the hoodrats!!!!!!!

————————————-
Nothing is wrong with Monica’s music, her songs are great for her voice, she’s done some great material over the years, it’s her personal stuff that’s hard to package into the right image… i mean the baby mamma with a possible dope boy boyfriend in an endless engagement, with an ex in jail for murder and another one committing suicide in front of you and throws parties in strip clubs, how do you sell that?
@Bird I don’t think Monica wants to or should crossover and blow up so to speak. Everybody aint able and shouldnt have that as a goal. She can stand to blow up a little more on the r&b side but I LOVED her last cd makings of me. She has always been one of my FAV singers! Raw talent indeed. So glad Jamie blew her up on the post show. I hope they do a song together.
@Ice
wendy is back on the radio today!!! yaaaay!
kc look a hot mess!

Monica acts better than Aaliyah did. When it comes to plain old singing, she can beat Beyonce (and her theatrics and wind blowing in her hair) so she doesn’t need to dance. And who is Keyshia?
I didn’t say Monica needs to cross over nor do I think she should. Mary J and Keyshia (to a lesser extent) are successful R&B artists who have not crossed over. Not everyone wants or needs to be Beyonce. Monica has not even reached Keyshia’s level yet. Hell, she ain’t even messing with the Hilson chick at this point. That is what I mean. For me personally, I have two Monica CD’s in my collection and for the most part I am not feeling them and clearly I am in the majority if her record sales are any indication.
She needs music that most R&B fans can love. This cult follwoing is not helping her.
Nice.
@26
Keyshia is the only thing keeping this HO relevant, Where would she be if it wasnt for keyshia asking her to be on the song, kind of sound familiar 10 years go, where would MONICA had been had brandy not asked her to sing along, She always needs someone else to keep her RELEVANT cuz buy herself she FLOPS
@DAISY
Regardless fo what she “WANTS” to do she could neve rbe mainstream that train has left and come back and BRANDY was at the head Not FLOPICA\\
@BIRD
CULT?? Do you mean HOODRATS the ones who bootleg her ****, and llisten to her last album SIDELINE Ho, YOU REMIND MN OF GUCCI SHOEs, HELL NO YOU CHEATED ON ME
WHAT THE HELL?????????
love this performance
@Bird I love ALL of Monica’s cd and Charles I grew up in the country suburbs far from the HOOD. Music is music you like what you like others like what they like.
I didn’t see Brandy last night!
Brandy fell off hard, looks and talent, at least monica retained hers
OMG! Just because Monica isnt doing much now, PLEASE dont discredit her for what she has DONE! UGH, Bird im ususally with you, but to say MOnica hasnt reached Keyshia level… let me run down a list on Monicas accomplishments. Cuz yall actin like yall got a serious case of amnesia:
1. Youngest artist EVER to have two consective #1 songs on r&b charts…
2. Monica’s first album yeilded three top ten singles (Dont Take It Perosnal, Befor You Walk, and Why I Love You So Much)
3. Dont Take It Personal went to number 2 on POP charts
4.Monica’s first album certified triple platinum
5. Monica’s duet with Brandy stayed on top of charts for 13 weeks…POP charts
10. Monica’s 2nd album had THREE CONSECTIVE #1 songs on POP CHARTS..The Boy Is Mine, Angel of Mine and The First Night
11. Monica has a Grammy award
12.Monica recieved a PERSONAL invitation from Karl Lagerfield to visit the House of Chanel (check it out here for proof (http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1432253/19981015/monica.jhtml)

21. Monica was named one of the 50 Most Beautiful People in the world by People Magazine
22. Monica appeared on cover of Teen People with BRITNEY SPEARS….
Keyshia who? Chile please… Im tired of typing…I could keep going…I said all that to say this, I know allot of yall are fascinated with Rihanna and Beyonce, Keyshia and these new breed of singers, but lets not forget or discredit MOnica. She has been in this game since she was 12 years old and still making hits and signed to a MAJOR LABEL.
It really gets under my skin to see how yall are so quick to discredit her. She has been a POP star.. Monica’s career is at a stand still. LIKE EVERY famous singer goes through at one point. MAriah Carey, Whitney Houston, Mary J Blige, they all have had one flop. SHe is finding her own way and taking control of her career..Its not easy STAYING RELEVANT for damn near 16 years..coming from a child star…so before you speak..PLEASE KNOW YOUR FACTS
And Charles sit ya hatin a$$ down some where…YES I SAID HATIN>..reason why I said it, cuz u callin her all kind ho’s and shhh thats not called for . You dont know her personally, so u must be hatin. Its one thing to stater your opinion, another to hate…and thats what you doing….UGH! People dont realize ignorance does show thru computer screen
This STAN-NING for your favs is getting out of hand…
WHEN did BRANDY become a better singer than MONICA ???
(And PHUCK RECORD SALES !!!!)
They NEED to come out with a show titled …
Music Artist WHO REALLY HAS Talent
And let Brandy sing against Monica so Brandy can get OWNED
@ 35 Elove….
It is what it is… I will defend her to no end…Im sure she reads the shh and its not cool…
I didn’t really like the outfit Keyshia had on. I loved the pink mic.
I hope this guy doesn’t hurt KC. Because she’s all over him. I think she just wants to be loved.
@dallas214 (comment #33) …
If that ain’t a Y’ALL BETTER RECOGNIZE !!!!!
then I haven’t seen one (Kudos to you for bringing The Heat)
@35
OH HELLL NO
I GOT PROOF FROM 1998 WHEN BRANDY **** ALL OVER MONICA LIVE AT MTV SHE OBLITERATED THE COOL AID HAIRED HOODRAT
@34
HOW YOU KNOW WHO I KNOW AND DON’T?
AND THAT’S NICE I DIDN’T SEE USHER THERE, CHRIS BROWN THERE, RIHANNA THERE, DIANA ROSS THERE, BRITNEY SPEARS THERE, JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE SO WHAT’S UR POINT?
@dallas I guess u miss me going hard for Monica so u aint got to tell me cause I already know she is FAB n I also love me some KC n Rihanna there is room for them all n my book lol
@ Daisy….
I ALWAYS agree with you…so I peeped it and I appreciate you reppin my girl….it was just for the people thats tryin to make it seem like Mo some one hit wonder…bish please!!! Monica paved the way for Keyshia Cole…ugh dont get me started again….
@Dallas ^5..lol
team Monica. i always say i love her voice and the slow songs cuz that’s when she just shines. she has yet to make a slow jam that I dont like. I knew this song would be hot when they said monica was doing it. love it. i do want her to leave JD and anything he produces alone.
i think if they connect her with dave foster and babyface, real producers and not beatmakers, she will be on her way. and she is that bytch. she was on that stage like ‘what.’ the confidence shined thru last night, helpin her kill that performance. she’s not without talent. it’s these atlanta locals that she has to get away from. let bcox and jd do ur filler songs. go out and get the prime producers and make the next one triple platinum plus. she can do it.
Keyshia needs a reputable stylist? is she trusting tina knowles or something? the video did not do this song justice. her outfit at BET was too bargain basement. She doesn’t appear to have that same horrible attitude, so maybe she’ll listen. she should hire me for her stage shows and videos. she would then be in the league of ‘that bytch.’ right now, uh uh, not happening.
