Monica Sings The National Anthem at the Final Four

Sandra Rose April 2, 2012

The good folks from Turner Broadcasting reached out to R&B Diva Monica personally to sing the National Anthem live at the NCAA Final Four in New Orleans on Saturday. The Turner people didn’t ask Brandy to sing the National Anthem. In fact, no one has ever asked Brandy to sing the National Anthem, to our knowledge.

Monica took her sons Rocko and Romelo with her to the Final Four in New Orleans to watch Kentucky defeat Louisville 69-61.

The NCAA Championship is tonight, but Monica and her sons won’t be in the stands to watch. She’s in California doing a photo shoot with Brandy as I type this.

Brandy has been asked to sing the national anthem on more than one occasion and has sounded wonderful doing so.

This is a great rendition of the SSB. So glad that Monica & Brandy seem to be making a great comeback they are BOTH great singers

Brandy is a better singer, I don’t care who didn’t reach out to her, and until Monica sings at the Superbowl or somewhere other than Atlanta I wont be impressed. Sandra, why did yu have to put Brandy down to build Monica up? I know she’s like fam to you, but damn.
http://www.ashland86.com TheRealAshland

Brandy can’t sang ….
molyfe

She sung it at the nascar 500, nba finals, The world series she was about 15 I think. What in the hell more you want from her? Brandy has sung it but maybe not at these huge sport events. And she is a good singer, technically but Monica is raw with it.
molyfe

Brandy sold more albums, Monica has more hit singles. Sold more singles. 7 straight top 10 hits on the hot 100 hundred from debut to Boy Is Mine album. She made that list with some of the best to do it. Youngest to have back to back #1 singles. Need I go further?
Sassy! Muthaf**king, Sassy!

Monica couldn’t touch Brandy in 2005…and she can’t touch her range NOW. Ya’ll need to get over it.

Brandy’s depth and range is ridiculous….and she doesn’t sing through her nose. I’ve always been a fan of Monica’s voice, but I’ve been a bigger fan of Brandy’s.

Brandy can blow! And not just multiple criminals and drug dealers unlike some.

Hersley Monica has been performing constantly all over the country, Atlanta has been calling for a concert. Soul Sessions don’t count.
molyfe

Fine Sassy people like what they like but don’t belittle what Monica is doing. They are a team don’t pitch against each other. I can find other people who would beg to differ.
molyfe

And Sassy you would know whats he is blowing did’nt Fredo say that same thing about your girl?
molyfe

Some of you have so much self hate. Crabs in a barrell.

@ Monlife, no one has self hatred in here, it’s just a difference of opinion, perhaps you should learn that not everyone is going to agree with you…Brandy is the better singer, and is very busy right now with her acting career and other ventures, I digress. Any who, I love that Brandy is multi talented and can act as well as sing, I think the only thing I’ve seen you act in was the waitress in the ATL and one episode of Living Single when you were around 17, how old are you now Monlyfe?

Hrm, Monica rocks a weave too, so be it lace round them edges or needle and thread what difference does it make?

@yallcrazy you’re still here? not that I care but yeah..
Sassy! Muthaf**king, Sassy!

@Molyfe (Monica’s uterus)

Now I KNOW you’re not trying to check me, boo? I am NOT on Mrs. Arnold-Miller-Rocko-Brown’s payroll, unlike yourself.

I ain’t putting nobody down, but I’m not blind, deaf or dumb and I can state facts all muthafukking day long and will DARE a simple trick on a blog defending her own honor to test me about it.

So the fukk what?! I said it- Mo’s been fukking off with known criminals and felons since she was 15. Brandy fukked off with a costar. I know you don’t wanna get on their dating lives and compare their trysts because BABY… been a fan of both for too-long and one person’s story reads like a movie, another like a porno. (See: Chrissy).

So, yeah, stay in your fukking lane with the rest of the “crabs,” hon, it’s lobster and caviar over here.

G’nite.

Sandra, why are you always trying to stir up some trouble. You go for the jugular every time, don’t you?

OAN: Monica sounds

But she is looking a little off in this video. Monica is usually impeccably dressed (a little old looking sometimes) but not here. I guess she has her off days too.

Damn why all the shade thrown at brandy? Why even bring her up when speaking about Monica? And vice versa? They are stars and talented in their own right, they don’t need fans to tear down one to validate the other.

Hershey,

You Sassy and both of you Brandy, but I’m going to tell you what I don’t

Sandra doesn’t like Ray J and because Ray J is the brother of Brandy, she goes in. Not to mention that Monica is like family to Sandra and since people actually think that Brandy out sings Mo on that horrible track It All Belongs To Me ~~which is on the descend on the Billboard charts– I just had to put that out there because that song is beyond terrible~~ that doesn’t settle well with her either. I’m sure there are other reasons but those are the two prominent ones that we’ve realized in the past few weeks.
