[I. Hate. Monica.]

Yes it was. Period 

[Sovereign.]

Y'all are downplaying Monica's talent a bit too much in here. It's not coming off genuine. Just petty shade.

!!!!!!

Monica's dope. She and Brandy are two different artists. I don't expect them to be alike at all.

Bran use to kill me when she went up for that one run Mo does on IABTM

!!! I was like Bran...girl 

That sloppy mess 

No shade tho...my favorite Mon songs are when she's subdued ie Down 4 Whateva, Getaway...she sounds so much better lol

I've always been curious as to what Bran's thoughts are about Monica's talent. She always says especially during the IABTM era that she had so much soul and power but has never gone out of her way to go into detail about what Monica offers artistically or vocally like Monica has Brandy.

after the 90s Monica doesn't have any technique and she doesn't work on her gift
Brandy is the total opposite
I get it
She'd be lying to praise imo

I was thinking the same. I know Brandy was very supportive of Monica during the Still Standing era, but aside from that, she hasnt really praised a Monica song or album for that matter. As far as artistic growth and creativity with her sound, Monica hasnt really challenged herself or grown vocally since After The Storm.

on the same token everyone doesn't have to be as willing to bend their sound
Monica does what she does well..
And that's what sets them apart imo

Monica sticks with the sound she built and rides that

I don't think she's the kinda girl that needs to switch her sound
It doesn't work for her

For Monica, its more than just the sound though. Its her voice. Its nothing special. Good, but not special. She could sing When U Touch Me the exact same way as Brandy note for note and it still wouldnt have the same conviction or impact. Which is why Monica always and in this case is praising her voice. And ur right. Her very unflexible voice causes her to only fit one sound. But at the same time, Monica has never really been a creative. She always gives me "show up to the studio and sing the song" with her approach. It doesnt have a "Monica" touch, whatever that would be.

this isn't true at all
Her voice and tone is special and stands out
It's when she sings out of her range where she loses that special thing
Monica actually has a very versatile voice



And she doesn't have the technique or discipline to pull off when you touch me..

Exactly

Oooop maybe that's why I love it

Monica's taste actually slays if you look at her Instagram story. Brian McKnight, Lalah Hathaway

I thought she was gaining inspo for her album, but it's actually for making the band. I wonder if she's starting her album process all over again or something

Maybe both.She told Pharrell  a lot of the stuff she recorded for the album doesn't "feel right".

damn

It was probably too "hip" and trap leaning or some mess. Who knows

[b7]

I remember Bran saying her favorite songs from New Life were Cry and Without You

!!! Annie asked her in a DM

It wasn't even publicly
