Title: Now Monica...
Post by: ReVonIsMine on January 19, 2025, 07:44:39 PM
I used to love this song. I don't ever want to hear her attempt this live again.
Her fans in the comments are not happy.

But we know her because she got a record deal, not a modeling deal. Her looks will only get her so far from
this point on. I understand why she has been trying to release an album for the last 10 years and hasn't.
I'm disappointed in her. She needs a vocal coach and vocal rest for at least a year.

Monica had been working with a vocal coach. I never understood why the girls don't go back to their roots. She should pay Karen Clark Sheard or Kim Burrell to vocal train her. Those white women she's used over the years and that black male country singer have taught her nothing.

She's not in the vocal condition to be releasing anything or performing right now.
Reset, rest, love on your kids and family and new man and pop back out ready to go in the summer.

In all seriousness, as a fan, I love her and appreciate her gift of singing, so I really pray she takes a much needed break.
The surgery she had takes the average person 2 years to recover from. She's not had any breaks since The Great Xscape tour in 2017 as it pertains to singing and performing.

I actually respect her for not lipping. It reminds me of Whitney in her last days, giving the voice she had left even if it wasn't perfect
Her fans seem to appreciate it
But she could just take a break and rest her voice.
Doves is your girl having money issues? Don't see why she can't take a break from performing

But Whitney had major vocal skills. Hoarse, voice shot, or whatever, she was always finding a way to
make due and still give "SINGER".

Monica sounds like she needs to be singing from the audience, not the stage cause...

What exactly would vocal rest do for her? This has been YEARS in the making. I remember going to see Monica in San Francisco years ago, and she never went to her own rehearsal. She's been lazy for a long time.

I think Monica looks at singing as a job which for her it is, but to be great it has to be a passion also. One thing I've always noticed about great vocalists, is how they are fans of singing. People like Tamar, Jennifer, Fantasia and Keke are always with other singers, singing in their free time. People like Brandy and Beyonce are workaholic professionals, recording 300 songs for each album. Then there is Monica.

The vocal rest would do exactly what the doctors told her it would do. HELP her to sing better and more freely again.
The other part of that is the WORK it would take for her to get back to a great place again through vocal coaching/lessons and vocal rehab

And not too much :uhh:

This is only an issue for folks who do these shows almost every day for months. Not a few spot shows

She did a decent run with the icki shows, but has only done 2 to 3 shows a month after.
