I, for one, never once said Monica was some vocal powerhouse. However, I don't claim to be some vocal teacher either. I don't really care about technicalities when it comes to singing, I'm more of a feeling type of person. I mean my favorite singer is Mary J. and we all know she got some rough ass vocals. But I connect to most music that I feel and relate to, which is why I cling to who I do. However, I do appreciate other artists' artistry
I do notice that people most people that LOVE someone like Mary, would prefer someone like Monica.
And someone that loves Brandy, who probably prefer someone like Toni
