    Damn the haters run in here so fast but you can beat it because you can say whatever you want about Monica but you can’t say she can’t sing and that’s a known fact.

    Great performances. I’m glad Monica is seeing her new heyday. I hope the same for Toni Braxton, Brandy, shhieett Tevin Campbell.

    Some fans are so disloyal.

    Hater haters haters lol you dummies just giving MONICA more shine but clearly she doesn’t need it. Monica is the best female singer out right now and nobody can’t touch her. Whitney Houston always have gave Mo her props and often states she can sing so who are u haters to dispute legends. Monica killing it and can’t be touch. So instead of hating appreciate because she is hear to stay. Some of you people don’t know good singing if it’s staring you in the face. Love you Mo stay strong and don’t pay these negative people any attention clearly they are not happy with their lives.

  17. Rashaan July 6, 2010

    Great. It’s about time someone posted her performance. Do you think you can find the rest of it? I’m not complaining, I’m just saying more would be nice.

  22. MaZ July 7, 2010

    Love U Monica!

    Feels so good to hear such a great singer, reminds me of old days of R&B.

    Wish her a long long long career paved with a lot of success.

    Keep doing u Mo”

    Monica is the eptiome that you can only get better with age. Her vocal ability has become quite dramatic; loaded with a thick and noticeable virbrato, with all the quick trills and warbly melismas that she does, Monica’s voice has enough personality within itself. True, she does lack stage presence, but there is a essence with the music she sings. I’d go see her. P.S.: am I the only one who noticed how the video was revamped to replay the same 2 minutes?

    Monica sounds wonderful and it is good to see the future of R&B music giving props to the ones who came before them. Monica’s tribute to Whitney Houston is fitting. Monica is a powerhouse vocalist and she has a long future ahead of her. Whitney would be proud. I love Monica’s voice. Monica is a true and genuine vocalist. Her vibrato is on point. Great job Monica!!!

  25. Jay July 7, 2010
