The key is it will only be a celebration if they're genuinely fond of one another. And I don't think they are. So it will feel fake and I think Monica knows that because she can't fake shit. And brandy will try so hard to be friendly that it will become obviously fake.
so it's best to not do it. People will dissect every second of the entire thing and make it shade and it will turn into the 90s all over again.
Exactly which is why I'm over it!
This only works if the people involved respect each other and like one another's music and neither applies here.
I wouldnt go that far. Monica has repeatedly spoke highly of Brandy and her music and talent and respects her work A LOT. Every time Brandy's name pops up in an interview, she uses the opportunity to gloat about her talent. So Im not gonna agree with this one.
If anything, I think its Brandy's time to show Monica some love. If she rly wants the battle to happen, she gotta start publicly giving her some love as well.
Monica has publicly admitted on her reality show and bragged about the fact that she's nice nasty. She prides herself on it. i know she shows love, dont get me wrong but
She gets her lil jabs in with "its the only grammy we have together" and blah blah so lets not sit up and act like the "gloating" didn't used to have different elements to it. Its not time for Brandy to do shit 
neither of them are innocent daisies. All they need to do is respect each other and come together when it's time to do so and especially before the celebration battles if they ever talk again.
Well, whatever positive things Monica has said about Brandy in recent years, it is far MORE than what Brandy has said about Monica. Maybe u've forgotten. What has Brandy said positively about Monica since 2012?
Is she obligated to do that? Do you know how much happens behind the scenes in the music business?
thats a weird question. And Brandy literally posted Monica's first single on her instagram page in 2015
she posted 'Just right for me" JUST before Code red came out and wrote the longest caption, reminiscing about the good times they shared WITH "just right for me" playing in the video.
THEN Monica started posting Brandy on her page by posting her spread in uptown magazine and showed love to beggin n pleadin a year later. Clearly something happened after that and its when Brandy recorded new vocals for "The girl is mine" per wishes of Atlantic records, because they owned the rights to everything at the time. The UK artists really wanted the sample cleared at the time and so she did it.

Ur taking what Im saying waaay out of context.
No one is saying Brandy needs to worship or praise Monica. All Im saying is that since Monica is a bit hesitant to do the battle because of her fears of it being a "battle" and them competing again, it would be nice if maybe Brandy can say "I think Monica is great, she has done some amazing records in R&B and I'm down to do the battle so we can celebrate our music together". That's all
Even that clip TSR posted, Monica complimented Brandy. Meanwhile, u got some ppl tryna dissect the Brandy shrug and sayin its her being shady. I'ma just say it one more time and those who get it, get it, and those who don't, oh well. I'm not saying Brandy shud start to go on a Praise Monica campaign. Just say something, a lil something so ppl dont speculate that they still beefing and add more drama so it can run bk to Monica and make her feel like "And this is why I dont wanna do it". Im done with it.
