Really nigga? I was actuall being serious... 

sssss

I?m very underwhelmed with her lack of artistry

But I don?t know if it was RCA keeping her as a local R&B act or what
So I don?t wanna drag too much until I hear this new era

I wanna hear what she?s been doing on her own without label politics

I know she?s creative ...I just really want her to push herself ...vocally As well

Monica's impact in the 90's >

She's definitely a legend.

Monica >>>>>> Mya

She had a look, a sound and a personality that was distinctive. Mya NEVER did anything distinctively. Talented but boring.

She's like a member of the chorus

I do believe the label played a part, but I think accountability comes into play as well. Artists clash with labels all the time. I know Mya always had to fight for her creative voice whilst at Interscope and though not always executed with  precision, artists like her can definitely look back and say I fought to go in said direction because that was where my volition lied. I agree with you AND I will say there's a complacency with Monica creatively. "Code Red" was...cute, but sis...who is Monica the artist?

Did you watch her Sway's interview? She said her label welcome/encourage her creative input from the get go.

Mya didn't even have a sound. And because she desperately wanted to prove how diverse of a dancer she was, she never focused on honing a specific type of dance genre that people could remenber her for. She really didn't even do shit

[Opposites Attract.]

Mya clearly. The rest of the girls are still millionaires.

Idk about a sound. She could definitely SING and has the most down-to-earth personality, but Mya carved a lane for herself. '98 she literally became the girl who hopped on all the rappers hooks and was a part of some historical moments in culture i.e. Rugrats, Ghetto Superstar, Moulin Rouge, etc. Hip-Hop embraced Mya and she could kill an 8-count.

I hear this argument. Her vocabulary as a dance artist is so vast that it is a challenge for folks to pinpoint exactly her aesthetic and/or her appeal especially in Pop music. She's hit on every genre of dance with the exception of ballet and even then that's evident in the way she moves.

the Rugrats theme song sis? Nobody even knew or cared that was Mya.

Moulin Rouge is her saving grace. Even with it, she comes up short to Monica's identifiable hood music and multiple #1s and Top 10 hits. Oh! & The Boy Is Mine

With Code Red she played with different sounds. But I agree I need a more signature sound from her .

I really want to see what she?s capable of away from RCA

There?s room for artistic growth big time with her

[Sovereign.]

We all knew that was Mya! She's the only female voice on the song. And I don't disagree. Monica is way more culturally impactful. But to deny Mya's contribution to Pop music and to contemporary dance would be neglectful.
