She could've gotten something for Still Standing but the Grammy competition was thick too. She was up against Fantasia, Faith, Jazmin, and Kelly for Best R&B Vocal Female Performance.

She's right. She gets the nominations tho. Competition was thicker back then.
I was rooting for her hard during the Still Standing era. I felt like she delivered solid body of work.

But to be honest though Aaliyah too was often overlooked in the 90s. Again competition was thicker back then. For them to get those nominations and recognitions was blessing nonetheless though.
You're absolutely right, I remember vividly when she won the Best Female Video award for Try Again beating out both Brit & Xtina. I'm like oh she's a threat. :ohwow:

quee was kinda stealthy huh


The Only BLACK Kalmyks

Mons brand of r&b is very "standard issue" when u compare it to someone like jazmine who's creative af but still manages to maintain that hard R&B core
Project started: 2014 Wrapped up: 2024

Significant Discovery: First known Black American family of Kalmyk descent

Takeaways: Be prepared to pivot, even when you think you're on the right track. Be OK with being wrong so you can get things right.

Kalmyks are tribal Mongolic people who settled in Russia. It's estimated that only 300,000 Kalmyk descendants exist worldwide - with only 3,000 in America.

I still remember when Billboard gave Beyonce a special Hot 100 award for the most weeks in a calendar year at No. 1 on the Hot 100 for a female when Monica had more and someone called them out on it
They admitted to the error but never corrected it(to my knowledge)

Sorry but this is an example of the music industry getting it RIGHT! this isn't jazmine sullivan or india arie  being robbed after they released great material. This is monica and she's the personification of a MID ass artist. Awards are reserved for the greatest pieces of work. Monica ain't EVER been an amazing work kinda girl. SORRY
This is my pass to say WHATEVER tf I wanna say about the mess she releases so I don't wanna hear SHIT! Baby mama is a mess of a song btw

PRECISELY! she's had moments where if she won i wouldn't be surprised but if monica is in a category i'm PROBABLY gonna think someone else in the category is more deserving

I would agree if we're talking strictly Grammys but most award shows are supposedly based on statistics.
