I ACTUALLY THINK SHE HAS GOTTEN EXACTLY WHAT SHE HAS WORKED FOR. SHE NEVER EXPANDED AND PUSHED HERSELF
INTO OTHER VENTURES. JUST GOOD SINGING FOR THE HOOD IS NOT GOING TO MAKE YOU A CROSSOVER INTERNATIONAL
MEGA STAR AND HOUSEHOLD NAME. SHE SHOULD HAVE TAKEN NOTES FROM BRANDY. BRANDY WAS ALL OVER THE PLACE
SNATCHING EVERY OPERTUNITY. I FEEL LIKE MONICA BACK THEN THOUGHT SHE WAS TOO HOOD OR REAL TO STRETCH HERSELF
BECAUSE SHE THOUGHT IT WAS BEING FAKE OR PHONY. SHE COULD HAVE BEEN HUGE TOO. SHE WAS NOT WILLING TO PLAY THE GAME
SO THE GAME PLAYED HER. YALL SEE WHAT HAPPENED WHEN SHE TEAMED UP WITH BRANDY! AND SHE AIN'T EVEN REALLY WANT TO DO THAT.

Agreed

[Hatsumomo]

Code Red could've won a few too. That all men lie song is bad and above average.

dhdjdjddnjdjddjdjddd at the all caps but

!!!!!

I think she got exactly the half of flower she deserves. I never hear anyone reference Monica as an inspiration and her music and vocals are nothing groundbreaking.

[Stunna Gor’]

Blackberry is ICONIC though

[ReVonIsMine]

VOCALLY MONICA IS JUST NOT THAT INSPIRATION GIRL. SHE CAN SANG ABSOLUTELY BUT I FEEL LIKE SO MANY GIRLS/GUYS IN THE CHURCH HOOD CAN SING LIKE THAT. GRANTED SHE IS PROBABLY THE ONLY ONE IN THE INDUSTRY WHO SOUNDS LIKE HER SO THATS WHY SHE HAS A SOLID LANE AND IS STILL AROUND.

Right.She didn't play industry politics well and she didn't have a good team.I remember when she turned down an Estee Lauder contract back in the day.I'm sure she's regretful but she still had a really good career.
I feel bad for the Chante Moores, Tamias, Phyllis Hyman and countless others who are the real "often forgotten".

[Lazarus]

I wouldn't consider Tamia forgotten. She received 4 Grammy nominations before she even dropped her debut album and continued to get nominated afterwards.

so yea, mons has been overlooked and deserved more. period.

[Harlem]

I agree with the all caps statement. And she had Clive behind her too so the opportunities could've been there if she wanted them to be

That's true but is seems she doesn't get the appreciation she deserves.

An Estee Lauder offer was a big deal for her. I don't get why she would decline that.

That Part!

[Lazarus]

She had Clive behind her for the second album because he wanted to revamp her image and she followed suit to a certain extend. By the time the early 00s came though Alicia Keys became his golden girl tbh.
