Here is episode 2 of “Monica, Still Standing,” in case you missed it.
Hopefully, Mo will visit my suite at the Philips Arena during an upcoming Atlanta Hawks home game to meet with my readers. I don’t think we’ll have a problem making that happen. Just the other night, I was out driving and Mo called my cell to say she was having difficulty logging into my blog to chat with my readers.
How many celebrities would arbitrarily log into my blog to chat with my readers without being asked? And did I tell y’all that the whole Live Chat concept Sandrarose.com was Monica and Mia X’s idea?
I ALREADY saw @iscream’s commentary in another post
i dvr’d it so i can watch it when i get home! this time change has thrown my bedtime off!
I will try to watch her show during my lunch-hour right now Im watching cthagod n Angela yee ustream he is crazy for real!
saw her last night at the soul train awards mad my mama made me take a picture of her and mo but she looked good
Mizz I asked for the 411 on twitter
This ep was much better and wasn’t as slow as last week. She was still a lady yet entertaining which is what I was saying last wk but got accused of being a hater or negative
I will be wathcing this on lunhc, since I missed it last night. I went to sleep early round 9 and then awoke at 3 – kind fo tired today.
‘Ye shrugs’
Thanks for the episode SR!
I love Monica as an artist, but the show is not really grabbing me. I don’t think she needs to do a reality show. She’s not one of those artists who need to get the exposure because she has solidified her name in the music business so well. I don’t think Monica has ever dropped an album that the masses didn’t like. In my opinion, Monica can do no wrong in the studio – that’s just my opinion. But her show is not grabbing me.
i watched it this morning while i was getting ready for work. she has a very close relationship with her family.
@mrsH I feel you but I do think she needed to be re introduced to her fans and new fans and let the ppl know she is coming back out. I will be watching since nothing else is on and it did pick up a tad. I def can’t wait for her new cd to drop!
Her mama was sanging last night! CHURCH!
Logging in to SR and all – not too many celebs ‘claim’ to post on blogs and such.
I saw her on Monique’s talk show the other night. It was a nice interview. Didn’t get to see the performance, though.
Miss Dallas – I love Angela Yee and THE MORNING AFTER! I think I’d die w/o my satellite radio! Why don’t they have a NEO-SOUL station?
Yeah I made a comment in the other post. I remember Nas spoke on doing a reality show but didn’t green light it because he found himself boring & his brother was the entertaining one…
maybe she should add her brother to the show.
I’m all for positive TV but this show… hummm just isn’t grabbing me (thanks mrs hawthrone) either. I can’t even tell you what the episode was about.
Sorry Mo. Not trying to NOT support because I did try. Reality TV isn’t for everyone. But nonetheless you can still sang the heck out of a song. AND
I LOVED TO HEAR YOU SING IN CHURCH. NEXT TIME TAKE IT HOME AND DON’T HOLE BACK LIKE YA MOMMA (who still looks great) SAID.
#Shoutout to monica. we wear the same size pants lol
Thanks Sandra! This episode was much better than last weeks to me. Its no secret here that im like the biggest Monica fan in the world, lol. But I had to recondition my mind when it comes to reality shows. Im soo used to (and ill admit it…I love) all the cursing and screaming backstabbing on reality shows. But Monica show is not about that. Its shows a different perspective of black family. Which I love. Its inspiring, encouraging and just about love of family and God.
More often than not we complain about BET and the coonery they allow on air and now they finally decided to switch it up. Im curious to see how ratings are doing. I just hope people support it. For me personally I love how positive and God fearing Monica comes across. I want to aspire to be more like that.
Oh and just cuz u dont like the show, dont mean u being negative. Everybody is not going to like everything.
@ Daisy I think your right. She is a beast in the studio. I don’t really know to many that can compare to her in the studio. She hasn’t gotten the exposure needed for her albums, so I think this is a good start.
LJ nobody cares go eat a piece of cake!

*******************************************************
People are called haters on the reg here if they express any sort of opinion other than glowing of everyone and everything. Most recent post that comes to mind was the post about the premier episode of Still Standing(love that name its my facebook “quote” always has been)
Did you check what site you’re on?
@wiggy thank you and that is why I said just last wk folks accused me of being a hater cause I said the show was slow or that i was trying to say Mo had to act a FOOL for ratings when that is not what I said or meant either
I absolutley LOVE this show. No its not ghetto fab but i loveeeeee it. She is such a great mother everything is about her kids. I will be watching ALL her eps. I especially love how she invited the guys who couldnt get in the show on the tour bus. Monica is oen of the most humble persons in the biz. It has not eaten awya at her. And that comment about being on time is the truth cause im never on time. I love the hot ghetto mess also but this show was refreshing. As Dallas said we complain abput the streotypes BET portray and now that they have a positive show going on we call it boring. I will admit its not alot of drama but its not boring to me.
I will be watching every episode
Its not about not having fights and or acting a fool. The show just doesn’t have IT.
I watched MC Hammer show, Pilar (that’s a shame I can’t think of her husband name who was the football player something with a T- E Love help me.), Scott Biao, TI, Snoop (even though I think that was scripted), Runs house and those shows were good & positive. They had something to keep me wanting to see the next. Sadly this doesn’t.
I mean its a step up from Daddy’s house.
dang daisy! lmao. u on it today. u need to drink some happy juice
dieon sanders. i loved that show too. they need to come back
iscream I
Run’s House as well. I think that show is a positive show that keeps you coming back and definitely has the IT factor. I especially think it’s refreshing to see how well they have blended the family even though Justine is not the biological mother to the 3 oldest kids.
@LL
Now wasn’t that weird. They missed the show but didn’t leave?
so am I to believe that they waited outside the place till show was over and just so happen to meet Monica?
Oh and my last comment cause I can feel the word
burning the back of my neck. But doesn’t the song Still Standing sound Just like Fly above by Kandi. Same beat, same message different words. But nonetheless the same song.. They even sound alike.
check that out and get back to me.
In other news, sandra your favorite cousins tiny n toya will be on angela yee show guest host cthagod.. Lets see if toya will say more then 5 words
LJ shyt I need more than juice today lol
Isc I agree u can have positve TV and have it be entertaining. I loved Dieon show. I only saw 1 ep of Hammers show.
Lovely I said as well I will keep watching a lil slow and all and yes I watch G Fab reality shows as well sure do lol
Me too Daisy. Certian people have the idea that drama = ghetto. I said in the last post drama = conflict. In a story there is is the
Expostion(introduction)
CONFLICT
Rising Action
climax
falling action
resolution
Sorry to go all 10th english on you
sorry but monica lost that “it“ thing she had like a decade ago, i have my reasons for saying that but i`m not in the mood to go there today…lol! good luck to her though.
@ isc…yea i dont really like Daddys House or Daddys Girl what the hell ever its called!!!! lol
thank you mizdallas for pointing out that it was Toya that did that no magurl Tiny. She expanded her answers to more than number two words.
@ Isc
@LL

——-
Im not even gonna lie…my first thought was that was staged cause how they were right there
—————
Oh and my last comment cause I can feel the word burning the back of my neck.
iscream, I understand what youre saying. I never thought had the personality to carry her own reality show. When she is like on camera…she comes across a lil too serious. Always have. I like her best when she is unfiltered. Like the Living The Life episodes…they did really catch her in that light on this show..but hell its just two shows deep.
For the most part more people seem to like it than dont. And really Ive never really heard no one say they didnt like it, people just say its slow or boring
I
Runs house! Daddys girls SUCKED to me
Mizz I am listening now and cthagod is off the chain and I love it
Isc I don’t like that fly above song at all but I love still standing!
@ LL
You got me n tears I’m laughing so hard.
Thanks guys Dion Sandars & Pilar. I loved that show. @Daisy does she still work with Kim Kardashian?
I think Monica has a beautiful spirit!
@mizzdallas…
For THOSE that are listening PLEASE give us a update about the Other T-Gurl’s actions… If Y’all BOY is what Y’all say he is, He’ll ROAST HER AZZ if she tries to get ig’nant
@elove @wiggy
toya really didnt say more then 5 words on the angela yee show she NOT to interview at all, tiny missed t.i call while she was on the phone interview with angela yee, basically she was saying when t.i gets of pen first of the year that they plan to get married in the summer of next year…
oh they say janet n jd reconcile their relationship and planning their wedding of course jd is not going to address this issue if this is true Im glad they back together smh

WHAT??!?!
I enjoyed this episode along with the last! Keep doing your thing Mo!
I read that JD n Janet rumor but I don’t believe it at all.
Isc does who work with Kim K?
@ Daisy
Pilar Sanders. I know she was working with Kim. A sylist or manager maybe?
Isc I never knew that about Pilar lol
Let me find out Sherees hubby is going to release a sex tape of them lol I mean ex hubby Bob
Nice show, its not full of stupidity and drama like other shows but of course whenever somebody trys to bring something positive to television they always get labled as boring….so sorry Monica. Thanks for the effort.
Well glad to see I’m not the only one who finds the show a little boring and again coming out with a CD on the skirts of Kandi’s release could be trouble…but I still like Monica so best wishes…
Nice show family oriented. I like the new Monica. Live life in abundance and keep striving to be better.
Why would one person take things so personally when more than one person made statements. It’s amazing. I usually atribute that to esteem.
Pilar got what she asked for and I think her hubby was kinda nasty to her throughout the show. He let her know who’s money it was that she was spending. T.O’s show had his two drama filled side kicks who spent his money and he shut them down on several occasions. I guess those would be better shows.
@candi apple
Deon talks to piliar like that because she allows it and mention that he was cheating with piliar while still married to his first wife, and I must say no home that BISH is Beautiful! drop dead gorgeous! she now lives in miami when he started messing with piliar I use to always wonder why he left that pretty woman for her!
I know the history of Pilar and of course she allowed it. The question is Why does she allow it?
I was talking about the content of the show not the characters of the show.
Krysi I see you missed what some of us her saying although we named postive shows that did not have DRAMA oh well moving on for good on this topic
I never knew about Dieon and Pilar his 1st wife lives n the A
@Mizz..
His first wife didn’t have Pilar’s (how can I say this)Flare (yeah thats a good word).
I love this show and it shows how dedicated she is. I will admit that the last album that she had out I really didn’t know where she was going with it!! But I’m glad she got her Swagg back!! Go Mo! Go Mo!
The other shows uumm Lets seeeeeee..
Justine laying in bed– Cut— Action— Justine laying in bed–Cut–Action– Justine laying in bed–Cut– oohh wait– justine walks— wait— cut– Justine pulls pill bottle out of pillow case—Cut–no–no–Action….
Again I digress……… I do like the show and family values.
I even like flavor of love and for the love of Ray J. I like my programming diverse with a mixture of ghetto and class. Frankie and Neffe have become my all time favorate.

You’re absolutely right. My husband asked me why I can’t be as calm as Justine, and I told him if all I had to do is lie around all day I WOULD be calm.
i love monica’s show .she has gerown so much . i wish her much success.
@ Daisy
I never knew that either about Pilar nor did I think Dion treated her like crap.
@ Candi
Wow! at the Rev Run break down. Thank goodness for the remote huh.
Daisy, I refuse to say anymore about it either its already been stated more than once that a)a dramatic interesting show does not have to be ghetto and b)giving an honest opinion does not make you a hater.That will be all. , Monica addressed it the issue in her response to me last post. She said there is a reason for her to be given the opportunity to have the cameras follow her.
LOL It’s all entertainment just done differently.
So opinions count that means even the people who use the word hater. Cause in fact all the opinions were honest.
But being fair with an honest opinion all of the shows have something wrong with them so lets point it all out. Not only the ghetto shows.
Every chance Sanders got he let Pilar know who’s money it was and who’s mansion she was cleaning ALONE.
IMO calling someone a hater is not opinion-honest or otherwise.
^^^
AGREED !!!!!
# i hadn’t even read your comments until now, so that statement made by me was not directed at anyone…geesh
sometimes yall need to just read shyt and keep it moving.
Who called who an hater? thats the first question.
I thought the topic was reality shows.
Candi, I don’t think its this post where the hater word was used it was the last post about the show which I and I believe Daisy was addressing.
I SAW MONICA SHOW WHEN SHE WENT TO CHURCH. THAT EPISODE WAS GREAT I WAS LIKE AWWW WHEN SHE WAS CRYING WHILE SHE WAS SINGING. I CAN BE EMOTIONAL IN CHURCH ALSO SO I KNOW WHAT THAT FELT LIKE.
sorry I missed this last nite.. My subconis still thinks Franki&Neffe is still on on Tuesday Nite.. LOL.. Good watch..
Love it…
TEAM MONICA.
the next time monica’s on here, im going to ask why she and david foster or narada walden haven’t worked together. i dont believe she’s being challenged with the bcoxs and jd, etc.
i think the right david foster composed song, written by dianne warren or someone will really take monica to the level she should be on/at now.
she’s clearly not without talent, that’s a given. i can appreciate where the jd’s and bcox have brought her, but I think mixing it up can only make it better. monica can carry a song or hold a tune, i mean damn, “trust” became her song and she aint have a cd out.
i’ll ask and hopefully she’ll respond.
her favorite song from back in the day is my favorite song it just does something to me Monica was always a great singing It seem like she should be my age because she has been around so long with her greatness I feel like ppl are sleeping on her talent probably because she is classy and dont take her clothes off her show made me love her more she is so real and her kids are beautiful
I know this is completely wrong but…
Is Monica’s son a dwarf? I know he’s only four, and goodness knows I don’t know how kids grow, but shouldn’t he be a lil bigger?
That’s all!
