All she can do is sing slow songs and ballads. None and I do mean none of her Up tempo songs has ever done well and I do mean EVER DONE WELL!!!
Slow songs from start to finish bores me. I hope this new life of hers really has a heart that beats this time around cuz the slow songs kills.
Good luck
Nxt up…………….. Brandy!!!!!

@the guy that said she always sings ballads, She has actually done quite a lot of mid-tempos(Boy is Mine, The First Night etc)and even some uptempos, like All Eyez On Me.

Some ppl need to learn how to read!! I Said NONE OF HER UPTEMPO HITS HAS DONE WELL.
Compare her slow hits VS her utempo hits.
Her ONLY MAJOR HITS HAS BEEN HER SLOW SONGS. Thats the point SMDH Some of You guys Need schooling.
Therefore her slow songs is all she can Really do.
Boy is mine was a Majory Hit simply bcuz Brandy was on it.
Im done, that is all!!!

GAslickmouf is an obvious Brandy stand. Monica gets props because she has actually remained relevant and on the charts. Give credit where it is due. She had a successful run when Brandy cant get no hit and was dropped from her label. Keep it real

@GASLICKMOUF… I have 3 words for u : THE FIRST NIGHT :It was her first SOLO No.1 and it was a mid-tempo with a really hip and cool vibe.Monica knows uptempos is not her lane, but you can’t say she’s never had a successful song that was not a ballad
(When people want to respond to a comment, why do they always start with “You guys can’t read”?? YES WE CAN)

Monica has had successful mdtempos as well, she does what works for her, and what difference does it make as long as she creates great music. Monica is very poised and talented.

I will definitely be buying this album. I loved Still Standing. I think with age, her voice has matured in a good way. It is more stronger and less pitchy. GAslickmouf Monica has had plenty of uptempo hits (The Boy Is Mine, The First Night, So Gone, Just Another Girl, I’ve Got To Have It, Like This and Like That, One of Them Days, etc).
I would not care if she did an album full of ballads, because her voice really shines on a slow tempo or ballad type track. I think some of

One of her first songs was uptempo “Don’t Take it Personal” and it did well! She also had a great collabo with Brandy “The Boy is Mine” which was not a ballad or a slow song. Monica can sing it all be she is not a ‘get crunk’ singer if that is what you meant.
