    The tracks are ok….the picture looks a bit weird ike her head is facing the wrong way round !

  4. red March 6, 2010

    I agree Sam, this album sounds like a hit. Its clear some people who leave comments on here need to grow the f*** up. Seriously if u like Brandy that much, find her message board and leave her a message.

  5. GLYNNIEE March 6, 2010

  6. Jay March 6, 2010

  7. Steffon March 6, 2010

    @ Brandy=Death & Jay, Brandy is coming back she is working hard right now, and Jay what the hell you talking don’t know good music, Brandy is a vet, Brandy always come correct on every album. Lets not go there. This isn’t about Brandy t ho, this is about MO, anyway I like what I hear just too many ballads. Can’t wait to get it and hear it in full.

  8. alljokesaside March 6, 2010

    Hot, I tell ya! Hot! Hot! Hot!

  9. Abcd March 6, 2010

    You forgot to put “Blackberry” up there Sam!
    And this album sounds so promising to the fans!

  10. kayla March 6, 2010

    Once again stop trying to pin these 2 ladies against each other Monica album gone be da s*** i already know she has more than shown she ready! Brandy is comen back and she is gone remind da world why she still in the game i cant wait for both albums to come.
    Team Brandy and Monica yall aint ready!

  11. Rashaan March 6, 2010

    Well I am a Big Brandy fan but have always supported Monica because she has always given quality music….but in this day in age…….people need a lot more than 10 tracks….this did seem very ballad heavy but I too will reserve my judgement until the officially release. I have all of Mo’s albums so I will be getting this one:)

  12. Lovher March 6, 2010

    brandy did come back last year and no one bought it lol, so that i want brandy back comment is a little haterish, lmao. Quit comparing obviously Monica is more relavant at this point. I love Brandy’s last album and bought it i’m just saying lol. Stop making those comments in comparision cause they are nto in the same weight class in 2010. Brandy’s trying to catch up and monica’s trying to keep up. diffrent levels.

  13. CrackisWack March 6, 2010

    OMG, this sounds amazing. She really delivered. So much class in this album. The music is relevant, yet she stayed true to who she is.

  14. KodieBlue March 6, 2010

    OMG THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST ALBUM MONICA HAS EVER PRODUCED, MADE, AND
    RECORDED! THIS IS SO GOOD! ITS BEYOND GOOD! GREAT THINGS HAPPENING
    HERE WITH THIS ONE MONICA! DEFINITELY BUYING!

  15. cutiepie March 6, 2010

    Straight classic can’t wait to go and purchase my three copies.

  16. Alex March 6, 2010

    The order of the songs is wrong but WOW…these tracks sound really good. Way to go Monica

  17. March 6, 2010

    YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

    the only one i’m not feelin’ that much is “stay or go”, but i think it can grow on me
    LOVE how ballad heavy it is; i’m sick to death of everybody and their mama doin’ dance music
    give me a strong set of love ballads any day of the week

  18. TJ March 6, 2010

    I agree, the ONLY song i’m not feeling from the clips is “Stay or GO”. So, out of the 11 songs on the preview, in my view this is an EPIC SMASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    WOW… I’m LOVING IT!!!!!!

  19. LOS March 6, 2010

    SOUND LIKE IT WAS MORE THAN 10 SONGS PLAYED IN THE SNIPPET

  20. Destined March 6, 2010

    Loves it! WIll def be supporting Mo. This album is def a winner and for all those complaining about the ten tracks, that was a label decision. Mo wanted more but they only allowed her 10 with a bonus I think. But I would rather 10 quality songs then a 15 plus album of garbage. That seems to be dominating these days. But true R&B is coming back and people are eating it up. Let’s get it Mo!

  21. BrandyNMonicaStan March 6, 2010

    I love everything that I heard I can’t wait to go and buy the album !! Yes, this is truly the Monica I love !! let’s Go MO !!!!

  22. TJ March 6, 2010

    Just Preordered mine from Amazon… You get a free song and then I pre ordered it from her web site Monica . Com you get another free song there too.

  23. Dave March 6, 2010

    YESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!! Monica slayed!! I can’t wait till my PRE-ORDER comes in the mail, & get the bonus track everyone “Lessons Learned” for free on Amazon M** on March 15 everybody. SANG MO!!

  24. theLooseLips March 6, 2010

    I love the album. I am a monica fan from way back in the day though and feel this album will be one of her bests, even though it is VERY hard to compete with Miss Thang and The Boy is Mine. I am not really feeling Stay or Go and One in a Lifetime though. Some people think tose are the best tracks on the album but to each his own I guess. I’m just glad to see and hear what I do. I been waiting a while for this.

    Single order should be:
    1. Everything to Me
    2.Mirror
    3.Love all over Me
    4.Superman

  25. Ja’Shanae March 6, 2010

    This is gonna be a good album but i just wish there was more songs but overall i can listen to theis from beginning to end

  26. Dave March 6, 2010

    I agree with THELOOSELIPS as far as single choices, but I love all the songs on the album.

  27. MV March 6, 2010

    When I listen to old school Monica I’m feelin it, y’know it got that vibe. I know that was a while ago but that is Monica to me. These last couple releases sound like they coming from backup singer #6 doing generic R&B filler. It’s like Monica trying to stay relevant by conforming to these Ne-Yo style tracks but it’s not what she’s known for or good at.

  28. Muzik March 6, 2010

    I’m loving what I hear! I def will be buying the album, I think If U Were My Man should be switched with All I Know Is Me! But other than that I’m loving it!

  29. Jace March 6, 2010

    I LOVE IT!!!!! So EXCITED for this Album. LOVE ALL OVER ME IS AMAZING!!! I get chills when she sings that song..GO MO!!! She def delivered on this album.

  30. Abcd March 6, 2010

    Now we put it in Gods hands…

  31. Try Again March 6, 2010

    I’m sorry Monica Ur my girl and all…but 3 of ur 10 song so far has been leaked A LOOOOOOOOOOOONG time ago and the songs I haven’t heard yet but until now via Snippets doesn’t really appeal to my taste. I’m sorry Monica….FAILED!!!! KeKe Wyatt CD “Who Knew!” is crushing the game right now….No female CD right now is touching hers!!

  32. KodieBlue March 6, 2010

    @TRY AGAIN. Nothing but hate coming off of you because Monica

    is in the same Genre as Keke and honestly Monica Burns her

    “who knew” single. “Who knew: is ok, but vocally Monica owns

    her!

  33. Reina March 6, 2010

    sounds good,im happy for some quality music.

  34. kekeluvsu March 6, 2010

    March 23rd!!!!! Get with it!!!!! :mrgreen:

  35. Durrel Jennings March 6, 2010

    It sounds ok. I think I need to hear them all before I judge. Kinda reminds me of LeToya’s CD tho…everything mid tempo. I dig Believing In Me..watever the last song is…

  36. The Model Midget Mac March 7, 2010

    O-M-G!!!!! I absolutely love this CD!!!!!! Thank God Monica found her way back because that Makings Of Me was garbage!!!!! OMG yaw I have never been a Monica fan ever ever ever but I promise I buy this CD and have it bump’n in my kar!!!!! I love “Love All Over Me” and “Betcha or If You Were My Man” Her tv show and dat BET Awards performance has her back on the right track!!!! God is good and Mo keep this up on the next album 2 come!!!!

  37. The Model Midget Mac March 7, 2010

    Also love’n “Here I Am” and “Superman” and for those bringing up Brandy please her irrelevant ass off of this blog. This is for Monica!!!! Brandy’s Human album was garbage and dats why it didnt sell!!!! I hated every single song on dat CD. I hated dat Brandy. She kan undeniably sing but I waznt surprised when dat album flopped. I hated dat Brandy. Now Never Say Never was a klassic and if she takes it bakk 2 dat then she will have it. The only thing is Brandy is ugly as s*** now and her teeth are too big so we need 2 find a sway 2 make her pretty again. So if she goes bakk 2 her Never Say Never roots and gets a makeover then she will be good. Miss Monica u deserve this and u made da right choices. U styll stayed to ur roots by singing about treal stuff and kept it relevant to the type of music we listen 2 now!! U go girl!!!!!

  38. MellyMel March 7, 2010

    Brandy & Monica debate is so old…its childish! Monica & Brandy should be treated like R&B royalty..they have been in the game a long time. I wish our people would support them like how others did w/ Britney Spears & her trainwreck spiral. Her non-singing b*** outsells both Brandy & Monica combined…goes to show selling millions means jack when it comes to vocal ability. Support these ladies….in this day & age of radio playing pure garbage or the only black artist pop statoins will play is Beyonce & Rhianna…Brandy & Monica fans need to be untied. They have no issue w/ one another…dang i see messages at times on twitter of the two of them conversing. Let it go!!

  39. MR. STILL STANDING March 7, 2010

    A straight classic album from start to finish.

    MY single choices would be:

    “Everything to Me”-it released at the end of January and it was for Valentine’s Day. Good songs for this time of year.

    “Love All Over Me”-should be released the week the album comes out because it’s that perfect springtime ballad like “Angel of Mine” was back in 99.

    “Mirror”-should be released that June/July because it sounds like a summer single.

    “Stay Or Go”-It could see this song being released in September. At the end of the summer and the beginning of the fall.

    “Here I Am” should be the released in November. The final single from the album. Sounds like a wintertime song.

  40. Miguel March 7, 2010

    Thumbs up! I’ll be buying this album. I definitely adore both her buzz single Standing Still and her first single Everything To Me. It’s great to hear quality R&B music, because nowadays it’s rare to hear quality R&B on the radio, thanks God for artist like Monica, Brandy, Beyonce, Fantasia, Alicia Keys, etc…

  41. Pucci March 7, 2010

    I love it, even from the snippets. I can’t wait till March 23rd, i’ll be one of the first @ the record stores.

  42. CRYSTAL March 7, 2010

    Brandy Human Album wasnt Trash…

    Anywayz Cnt wait to get monicA ALBUM
    Loving all the songs so far

  43. Trav March 7, 2010

    A little too ballad heavy for my taste. But I can hear some hits in there.

    And also: Was that Justin Timberlake in the background of “Mirrors”? Cause it definitely sounded like him.

    And what was the name of that very last joint? THAT s*** was bananas!

  44. Trav March 7, 2010

    Ohh, nevermind, just listened to it again…it’s “Blackberry”.

  45. antertain March 8, 2010

    All these songs ain’t on the album but some you can get as bonus tracks.

    Betcha has leaked so GET it, the track is HOTTT 80’s flavor but goes hard and current feel.

    Blackberry i WANT! Someone need to pre-order that song from Monica.com web-site and spring it a quick leak.

    I still waitin for that real list to come out with the HQ snippets but i’m looking forward to this album as I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVVVVVVEEEEEEE Mo.

    TEAM MONICA
