Updated with the full video. I love it! Monica does her thing with this Fatal Attraction/Obsession treatment. This video shows Monica’s depth as an artist. She tackles this complex part nicely. Next stop: the big screen. Go Mo!
As some of you know, I am still experiencing technical difficulties, so I will post sparingly this morning until my computer guy can retrieve my data off my failed hard drive. I expect to be up and running fully by this afternoon.
In the meantime, here’s a sneak peek at Monica’s new video for “Everything To Me”.

So mad I can’t see this at work
Sandra you need a mobile site!
^^^ I’m working on that.
Why won’t this stick figure just go away already???
Jewelry maybe when you go away she will follow your lead
I kid I kid 
Monica WERK BISH!!
get it Monica. Looking good.
@Daisy, ha ha ha ha ha, dang.
I love this song.
Actually you can see the videos PERFECTLY from a droid phone. I cant wait to watch it during lunch from my new droid!
#TeamAndroid
I absolutely love Monica! I really like this song as well.
I’m a huge fan of Monica and I love this song, but can this sister chill with the boots already? Does she wear them year-round or what?
Such ignorance…
Hey, hey, hey (in my Fat Albert voice)!! Won’t be NO DISSING of Monica up in hea, UP in hea!!
LOOOOOOVE HER!!! HUGE FAN!!
I’m having a GREAT morning!! I BUMPS this song; I just wish I could see the video 
Me too Red Feather, My phone’s battery will die if I access the site from my phone….but I plan to be at home in time to watch it on 106 & Park tonight.
@ Red send Sandra an email about the story.
@ Sandra, I can’t wait for the mobile site.
Love Everything and can’t wait for this video.
Go MO! Can not wait for the CD to dropppppppp!
I like Monica tooo but unfortunately in my opinion that cd will go nowhere fast…. she’s been in hiatus tooo long it’s Bey’s world right now. I hope she does well but
Stick Figure’s time has come and gone…
She looks really good. I don’t like the song though. Hopefully she will have a hot 2nd single…
Wooooo! Chad Ocho Cinco is too fine! Tall, dark, handsome and pretty teeth!!!
This song is growing on me.
Love the song but the video is just ok…Chad, Chad, Chad… so fine
Hey Ms.kaylamomma
I love the hairstyle… I SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO LUV it. ..and I love the story line of the video. I am a Monica fan from “Just one those days”…days.
I dont think Chad is cute at all…and every time he says “Child Please”…i say “How you do wannnng!” Monica is FAB however!
I like Monica, didn’t like her last CD hopefully this one will be better.
sidebar: Fantasia’s brother Teeny really needs to have his own show he is hilarious!! him and their aunt Bunny are the Frankie and Neffee of her show!
Not a huge fan of Monica’s or this song…it gets a solid C from me
Can’t see anything but a black box. Will check it out later. Hope it’s a good one. I like Monica!

____________________________________________________________
Girl you ain’t neva lied…Teeny is a dang on fool. He is guaranteed to act up on every ep… we saw him “perform” at Allure and the on screen Teeny ain’t got sh’t on the in-person Teeny…had us :lolol: like hell
Ummmmm can someone tell how to remove the white baby? Everytime I look at it I want to tell the screen to shush that noise up now!
I disagree with those of you saying this CD wont go far. Monica has been around long enough to have a good and solid following… IMO, she is one of those stars (like SADE, Whitney, Michael Jackson etc)that you will buy her music, just because you are a fan of her work. She is an ATL local,the song gets much play here. I think the CD is going to do well. OR it will be one of those sleepers…Sleepers are those songs that the RADIO doesn’t play. Brandy’s second CD was a sleeper and believe it or not (and not that I think he and Monica are on the same talent levels) but RayJ’s album with the “I Wish extended” was a sleepr. “Lets Play House” is a sexy sexy song.
i like this song though its old as dirt
i like the video, i like how they made it seem they were divorcing……this is like “obsessed”
The song will continue to grow on me. Monica however is beautiful and looks great in the video
Note to monica…there are cuter NFL players to choose from…. #justsayin
@ QuettaV, sign up at gravatardotcom. choose an image, use the same email you used to register with Sandra, choose G-rating, and make sure you confirm. Hope that helps…
@GG
Exactly! I love Monica.
Monica on the level of Sade, Whitney or Michael Jackson??
Her last album did not do well…neither will this one.
Monica if your reading this
1ST Thought
Monica is back!!!!!! For real this time!!!!!
Chad looks like the crack of somebody ass!!!! Even money didn’t even help him!!!!!
… well his look that is!!!
I like the video. just purchase the single on Zune, look forward to the whole CD.
I like the song. While I don’t like the concept of the video, I love Monica’s hair, makeup and clothes. This was the best styled video I’ve seen in a while.
I like this! The Deniece Williams sample is hot, this is how samples should be.
@Rene thats why I dont get caught up in who sells what. If I like a cd I like a cd if I dont I dont. Monicas last cd is FIYAH and still gets played!! I alway said ppl slept on that cd!
I love when Chad says Chile please
Ryan Cameron says the same thing on the radio all the time.
Loving the video and definately rooting for her this time around. Man her clothes are SICK. Seriously, she stays on point.
@Daisy
I like Monica…don’t get me wrong. I just don’t think she can be compared to sade/whitney/MJ.
I don’t like the video, but she looks very pretty. I like the haircut!
I will be buyinh her cd
Monica on the level of Sade, Whitney or Michael Jackson?? Her last album did not do well…neither will this one
_________________________________________________________
Yep..I think she is. She is one of those artist whose sound is timeless enough that you own AT LEAST one of her CD’s and when she drops something new..you will probally cop her new stuff…Monica never became a part of the POP Sound machine. She has that classic sound and as a result she can take time off here and there and when she comes back…we’re excited to see her (music wise)
I’m not fond of the song, but the fashion in this video should get an award alone! Makeup is AWESOME! Nice to see Chad sharing the spotlight. He looked the part and did a great job.
Liked the video and Mo’s hair is mos def on point! But again, why she got on a coat with fur and boots and everyone else in t-shirts and/or no sleeves, WTH?! Mo we all no you got skinny arms and legs, but flaunt that isht girl, don’t hide. I think Mo is Back! with this cd.
the song’s just okay to me. she oversings a lot…too many riffs and yodeling (for lack of a better word) on some of the notes. i also wish she hadn’t tried the Oop…oop riff at the end of the song
shoulda left that with Deniece!
#thatisall
Hang it up Stick Figure…you are a lame!

Music should not be a trend set by what is played on the radio. Taste and preference is taste and preference. I have said that to my daughter or son many times, when they make a comment like “Don’t nobody listen to that anymore”
What does that mean? If they are not rocking it in the club or if it is not or never been in rotation then it’s not a CD worth buying..
So many people’s music is sooooooooooo slept on when MUSIC Listeners rely on the RADIO i.e Ameil Laurue (sp)…Kem and so on.
wow! I think Chad is a cool dude. No, he’s not the most aesthetically pleasing guy, but I think he oozes swag and sex appeal. It’s not all about the face people lol. He’s confident and that’s what I dig. =)
Mo’s hair and make-up on point! the video is is an average C- and like @sponge said she couldve got somebody nicer looking I dont care for Ochincino or whatever his name is. Anyways, Monica hasnt reach Sade, MJ or even WH success yet, I believe she is still on journey to ICONIC status imo, and even though I love me some Queen Brandy people slept on Human album which I believe was one of the best RNB albums of 08!
again this is a really good song, im proud of monica! and monica been oversinging since “its just one of those days” actually her voice is comparable to JHuds and fanastias…they have POWER its hard for them NOT to ‘oversing’ unlike monica’s old competitors(brandy and,baby girl aaliyah) monica always had the strongest voice. nowadays monica is outsung by jhud and beyonce has more catchy tunes but monica is good and i wish her success……………….
I was agreeing with you daisey…I forgot to say that at the begining of my post
I
Mo
Chad doesn’t have an ugly face……He is a douche bag but nice enough to not reach asinine status….
Anyway….ummm I heard Monica’s song once where I live…
I have nothing to really say…..about the vid. since I didn’t watch it…..
but I am on my positive movement so good luck Monica….
I am not sure if I would put Monica on the same powerhouse level as Jhud or Fanny…but BEY (and I like her) is not on MONICA’s singing level at all
The video story is definitely similiar to Beyonce’s movie “Obsessed”. I think Monica jacked her movie plot or something.
TEAM MONICA. I like the video, was kinda hesitant at first, but i do like it. who is that chocolaty goodness playing the male lead? i’ve seen him somewhere before.
oh, it’s ochocinco. ok.
Bey is like Janet. Take away the lights,the stage elements, the costumes and the pomp and circustance of the stage presense, you will not be left with a SINGER. They are ENTERTAINERS. You will never see Janet and or Bey doing an intimate set at the Velvet Room…why? cause they are not singers. AUTOTUNE is their friend.

————————————-
Monica or someone from her camp (i can’t remember) stated that the video was based on the movie Obsessed…so she didn’t jack the concept.
alot of music videos take from a movie plot..nothing new there…@point hes ocho chinco an NFL player….. @ggouch, i thing monica could hang with jhud and fanny, fanny at least jhud is inhuman. and to whoever said monica never swicthed it up, remember “everytime tha beat drop” i rest my case
I love the song but not feeling the hair. She’s such a pretty girl.
Off topic(can’t figure out how to get the emotion) But who is the youngest on here? Besides AM who is over there 40s?

hmmm i dunno about that……im no bey stan but she can sing. i agree she has alot of pomp and circumstance, but beyance CAN sing. Ciara is more like janet, cassie, britney spears, trying to think of others, but bey while annoying, can actually sing
Despite what some people say, I don’t think Monica is past her prime. There is an audience for everyone. She just needs to cater to that audience and maybe try to breakthrough to the mainstream again.
@lele
What was the concept for Deja Vu with her running in the field like a slave?? OR check up on it? Bey is for the youngins and homoesexuals…she’s their idol.

I am 26 yrs old and I think Missy is the youngest @ 20 yrs old.
@cinderella
Oh ok thanks. Love Amel.That’s her in your grav correct?
@ spongebob..you know you may be right..I have to think on that some more regarding JHUD and Monica.
When monica switched it up..that’s when I was like..I don’t know about this and was real hesitant about buying the CD. I think she is a great balladair though and that is a lane that I hope she continues to stay in.
Cinderella *raises hand* I am 19…and the offtopic is:offtopic:

this is the problem with you stans..smh, how the hell you use monica`s name in the same sentence with folks like michael jackson,whithney and sade??? monica needs alot of things to turn her career around and making those churchy pop songs aint gonna get her a platinum album..but anyway good luck to her
But why y’all wanna know who the youngest person on here is?….
Y’all trying to get rid of me….
(j/p)
Just ok for me. Nothing to write home to mom about.

I disagree, minus all the hoopla Bee is indeed a singer. There were no extras at the inauguration ball and she sang the heck out of At Last…..just sayin’
@crzasallgetout, that’s Amel. I wish she had some new music out.

Dear Bey,
My e-friend Spongebob told me recently that you can actually SING. I have to be honest and tell you…I don’t believe her. Though I love to get jiggy with the likes of All the Single Ladies and the UhOh song and I have raised my revolutionary fist to the likes of “IRREPLACABLE” and “If I Were a Boy” …I don’t think you can SANG SANG…perhaps..if you turn down the lights. pull your hair back, fire the dancers and take a seat on the stool and at the mic perhaps then I could focus more on your voice. Everything else is intentional and strategic distractions.
Sincerely,
Ms. Idon’tthink youcan Sing, But you’re great anyway.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Beyonce can sing without the lights, camera and pomp and circumstance I’ve seen her sing when she first went solo a slow song standing in one position no band no nothing and she put it down gave me chills up my spine nohomo
I would say JHUD, Tasia and Mo’ are all on the same level, voice wise anyway. Idol just helped boost Tasia and JHud into the mainstream.
While I think Bey can sing/carry a tune I have never been impressed with her singing abilities. She is a B singer IMO. In At last and Dangerously in love(go back and listen) she sings “HARD” when she thinks she is really doing the darn thing and I am not impressed
I do have ALL of DCs cds and her 1st two solo cds before the STANS try and come for me
She doesnt make my A list of singers though. She is an overall entertainer if you like coochie popping/yaki blowing in the wind performances.
I have tried to like this song but for the life of me I just can’t get into it (and Still Standing). I usually turn the station when it comes on the radio but the last two times I didn’t (still couldn’t get into it.) I think Monica is a beautiful person in & out but I truly think her time has passed. JMO..
@GG ___________________________
For ONE…. DUDE from Africa,I am not a STAN.
And the ref to monica in the same sentense with the likes of MJ Whitney and Sade is in regard to you are always gonna want to hear her..you are going to check for her.
LOVES IT! The video really ties into the song, and it looks really good. Go Mo!
The problem with Monica is she came out SO young and her music catered to grown folk, so now she’s back and she totally missed out on her age group. Unfortunately now, her music seems old to 20 somethings and they are the ones who push stars to platinum status, JMO!

______________________________________________
Well said. You said that the BEST. Maybe that’s why I am feeling her, because she came out as a child when I was in my 20’s. I listened to her then, because her sound was so mature. I check for her because I like her sound. I am glad she didn’t jump on the pussy poppin bandwagon.
lol@ggouch ………. so can keyshia cole sing like moinca and em? shes better than ciara at least…i havent heard latoya luckett do anything powerful. gee why cant i think of no other black female r and b singers this is sad. beyonce monica brandy ciara…..?
GGouch, exactly! I too was like 20 when she came out at 13 and was very suprised to see that she was a kid, but I could relate to what she was singing about. Teens her age were more into Brandy cause she sang about stuff they could relate to…Sittin’ Up in My Room, etc. Brandy’s fans grew up with her and Mo’s were already grown. Sad but true! I’m in my late 30’s now, but I still love ya Mo and I’m buyin that album when it drops.
Well….I can’t lie….Im still not feeling this as a first single….but its Monica’s album and Monica’s life.
….I wish her the best tho……she had a stronger single with the duet she did with Keyshia Cole….sorry….thats JMO tho.
Dang tho how OLD is monica, i am youtubing her old videos and she looks EXAcTLY the same. tall and everything
I am not a Beyonce fan at all…but the girl can sing.
Great video! Monica always delivers. She will forever and always be “Still Standing”.
The video was nice and Monica looks great! However, for some reason I can’t get into this song…sorry not really feeling it. But, I will definitely support her when her album drops because she is a great singer and I am a fan.
I am def a stan for Monica BUT for the life of me I can’t get with this song. I do like still standing though…I will purchase her album reguardless cuz her last album didnt do good but IMO it was just as good as her old albums…just a lil more ‘hood’…I love ‘Hell No’ and ‘Why Her’!
Team Monica!! She is beyond beautiful !!!
I like this song a lot, but I won’t buy her cd… I agree w/ those who said her time has passed….
B can sing but she can’t sang, I gets no chills from her singing. I am a fan of hers though. Mary, Alicia, Jennifer, Fanny, Christina Agularia, Lil Mo’, Frenchie Davis, Patti Labelle.. Those ladies can sing…
Ciara, Janet, Ashanti, Brittany, and the late Aaliyah were more performers than singers.. After awhile that gets old and they end up not being able to keep their record sales and popularity up…
Keisha, the jury is still out on her. She is like Mary J to me…a screamer
I loved it!

________________________________
TEAM MONICA. i could listen to her sing songs like this all day. dozen roses, everything, etc. love these songs. now that ‘beat drop’ bs, save that. i guess there’s an audience for everything cuz im sure you had some who loved that song but hate everything. she shouldn’t lend her talents to fly by night productions any more.
i agree that she’s an artist people will always be checkin for cuz she really can sing. her venue is the fox or something intimate like that. stay away from phillips arena or big stadiums when doing shows. monica should still be able to clear high six figures or better annually, just from doing shows, imo.
TEAM MONICA

speaking of range, what happened to mariah carey. ALL her songs sounds the same vocally . shame

Monica is a beautiful girl and she has a beautiful voice but this Denice Williams sample is doing nothing for me. *shrugs* maybe the remix will pull me in.
And hell to the no is Monica on a Sade, WH or MJ level. Monica does have a solid fan base, but it is nowhere near as large or universal as the others mentioned. I just hope she’s done singing about “Side-Line hos” and dancing in the club or whatever that one song was. Boooo

I personally think Beyonce can sing although her material is crap. I just listen for her background vocals and harmonies. And Alicia imo is probably the most overated vocalist out there. She stay flat and straining.

Damn….you ain lying you ain LYING…
@ ggouch *snatching back my church fan* I let you borrow at that e-funeral :lolol: Dont be talking about Bey!
Keri Hilson,jlo,Janet and Ciara are on that non-singing bus and they let Rihanna run behind it. Bey can sing outside of the studio and without all the lights, camera, action. I aint mad at Beys wind machine either. Some of them heffas need a damn fan, up there sweating like American hostages trying to sing.lol No ma’am.
Now I love me some Monica. She has always come correct. Her voice is smooth. She doesnt scream or catch the holy ghost (even though I enjoy it when Tasia and Patti does it) and she sounds the same after all these years. You cant say the same for Akeys. That chick sounds like she smokes 10 packs a day all of a sudden.
Should I be
to say I liked Sideline Ho, I mean I didn’t agree with the concept of the song cause Bish he still cheated on you but it was very catchy, you’s a ho, you’s a ho, sideline ho, (saying fast) you’sasidelinehosidelineho! HA!
Mary Js vocals have IMPROVED and have been on POINT over the last few yrs
As an Akeys stan I think she can sing and like her tone. I do think she strains to hard at times and has her off days as well but I still say she is a B singer :yea:
I like the song and I love it even more after seeing the video. Hmmm, I may be going in too deep, but why did it seem like he knew the girl at the end of the song when he was looking at her being taken away. It looked like he had a little bit too much compassion for a stalker. Just a thought… Maybe a storyline in my head..
Someone had the gull to bring Beyonce up on this post and say she can’t sing w/ all the extra.
I wouldn’t call you a HATER but……….
LOL I kid. I’m a fan of Monica. I’m a fan of Bey. I’m a fan of good music.
Apparently Monica is a fan of Beyonce as well since she used her movie as a theme for her video
Ummm is the side of her head shaved or gel down? it’s annoying me
just notice that the stalkers boots when they in the park are real cute…..
glad they made the crazy person yt lol
observation #3…chad ocho cinco looks like a teenage mutant ninja turtle
Yall saying monica is back well let me see she never left just took a break…..#teammonica…..
I like it! Very good Monica!
LOVE IT!!! I am thinking about having it as my first dance for my wedding. I will be getting the CD when it drops!
Monica looks ABSOLUTELY beautiful here. I like the video concept and Monica did really well in the acting parts. I’ve been a fan for many years and i’m so happy to see her back..
TEAM MONICA
Excuse my language, WORK BISH! She is sharp (RIP McQueen) and the face is beat!
Oh Ill say it loud and proud I STAN FOR MO!
I LOOOOVE ME SOME MONICA!
GO GIRL!

I like this song and video. As for Beyonce, I’ve seen her perform live and she can sing. If u want something nice to listen to..check out Maysa, Hil St. Soul,& Aya,
