Monica continued along the promotional trail for her new LP ‘Still Standing’ yesterday, with another spot in BET’s 106 & Park. This go round, the 29 year old performed her latest smash ‘Everything To Me’, which looks like a cert for the #1 spot on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop chart this week. Peep the performance above…
Not the best performance I’ve heard of the song, but a good nonetheless! Go Monica!

Honest to God y’all…I want to like Monica again and this song, but I cannot. The recorded version has this awkward machine-gun vibrato and awkward pauses throughout, and the live version is no better. I see the effort, but it’s just…no. Not for me I guess.
She sung this in a higher key then she usually does…I liked the notes at the end though…does anyone have her performance from the CBS Early Show yesterday?
I’m loving Monica right now, she is incredible
Normally, I love Monica’s fasion game but she has been off 2 days in a row- what the hell is she wearing? looks like some Dynasty reject and se sounds a mess singing out of her range on te choruses.
Wy did sse raise key, that was not the business- only the end sounded good.

The performance is GREAT! Monica always does her thing.
Amazing, simply wonderful, the real thing, the honesty…Monica just needs a hit and when she gets on that road.. she is gonna kill it.. SHE IS THE REAL THING.. SINGER, FINE AND JUST THE REAL GOODS.. GOOD LUCK MONICA… YALL THE ALBUM IS FIRE…….
I loved this performance. GREAT JOB!
Have the album, and she is going for that #1 spot!
Whoa. My boo was pitchy all over the place in this performance! I’m actually shocked cuz when I saw her live she did great. But I guess everyone can’t be perfect all the time. Still lover her! The outfit is a Star Trek mess tho..sometimes I hate whoever dresses her…its jus too odd.
a hot mess! period
kEEP ON KEEPING ON MONICA…YOU ARE SOARING BEYOND EXPECTATIONS…YOU
DESERVE ALL SUCCESS COMING YOUR WAY MA!
Monica killllllllllllllls it. The dress is amazing but the face and haircut beat it all. It’s funny to me that some don’t like because if rhianna had it on y’all would be going bonkers but watch she’s about to rise back to her sucess of the 90,s and all the huge stars take fashion risk. And we love. Also real singers have moments. Monica has been singing Everyday fo r 3wks. Check YouTube she sings her a** off. Congrats to her. She deserves it. Now if I could find a place that’s not sold out of her cd. Ps Monica just snatched the short hair game by the neck. That haircut is the ish
Didnt like the key and pitchy but still strong and solid vocals
When will hating get old….If it’s not her voice, it’s her clothes. If it’s not her clothes, it’s her dance movements…girl can’t win for losing with haters…smdh
Granted, she might have been slightly pitchy, but for the most part, she sounded as good as the original version. But you also have to give credit where credit is due – this song is a difficult song to sing, with the various runs, key changes, belts, etc. – not many artists would even be able to pull this off in the studio, much less on stage.
So, stop hating – find something (anything) positive to say about someone doing something positive, and maybe people will stop hating on you!
WHAT WAS UP WITH THOSE OUTFITS SHE WORE DURING HER HOSTING DUTIES ON 106 & PARK? THAT STYLIST NEEDS TO BE FIRED FOR REAL
First of all I loved the performance. Yes it was lil pitchy in the beginnig but towards the middle to end of the song she got it right. Thats a difficult song to sing live tell someone else to sing it with so much soul and conviction and you wont find many! Anyway her dress is fire! If you not in her industry or understand fashion you wouldnt like nor understand it. Keeping Going Monica because what God has for her is for her!
BTW where the hell is the CBS performance?
Me personally, i loved the performance. I do think she cracked at maybe 2 spots but other than that she killed. That song is VERY hard to sing in such a high key in one straight shot, but she did that. Give her props!
love monica
PEOPLE PLEEEEASE PASS THIS AROUND and TWEET IT (you can shorten it though,lol)
“DON’T TAKE Monica’s music for FREE. No P2P, no bootleg. Sales numbers MATTER & we have to show the industry that we want artists with talent who actually put in WORK. REAL MUSIC. We’re tired of artists who just show up almost naked and expect that to be enough”.
Good performance Mo do is doing it.
You know what I have to agree with @Craver! I like the song a little bit because of it’s R&B feel but it’s just something about it, I can’t put my finger on it, but it’s definitely something awkward about the song and the way she sings it! As far as the performance, it was just not good. I love Monica and her CD is FIYAH, but this performance was bad. But I actually like that dress and her hair is on point! Get it Mo!
She sang it a little to high.
Guess what though: on a bad day Monica blows away most other ‘popular’ female singerfs away.
In recent performances she has sung it in a lower key which kinda threw her on this performance.
Still strong vocally jus abit different with that arrangement.
This is a song u gotta sing 100% all the way.
Team Monica
Still Standing is a hot album
I constantly playing it..
Wow she can sang though.
She sung it a little different from the record but she VERY POWERFUL singer.
I love it and her this era.
Getting my CD tomorrow
The key was not raised..its the same key as the recording. She did a great job and it was emotive.
amazing performance!!! monica deserves all this success.
You are so right Sam! Moncia performed on the early show that morning and the performance was flawless. Between that time and performing on 106 & park something went wrong! Her voice was very cracky, but I know it must have been something cause Monica always kills it.
Great job. The song is my fav cause its real music that radio needs to absorb more of. Congrats Mo on having the #1 R&B song in the country seems like we all love good music. Music like this forces singers to sing . I love monica for the realness and her immense talent. All great singers have their moments when they may not perform at their best. Though the key was raised a step, She did a great job getting through the song. I have seen her rip this song up.
