  • @crydemons XD dont doubt monica her voice can do so much, but she switch up how she sounds as she gets older :P and she sounds more mature now, she can sing either way :D Thats a fact

  • @TheMusic1872 excuse me let me correct my self because Monica can blow!! and she does have an older sound now and she has been though a lot. She reminds me of Whitney Houston ...at a young age could sang (became famous), a model, and super skinny.

  • Monica killed this performance...Love her and this song so much

  • people please get your facts right before posting!!!

  • she was discovered wen she was 12 smart 1

  • Such a signature fantastic vocal power. The Sarah Vaughn of our times.

  • i wish i had her voice!

  • @MandisaAzalee KEEP WISHING....LAMO.....MYY GIRL MONICA IS THE BEST.....LOTS OF LOVE 2 MYY GIRL MONICA

  • What is amazing is she was 12/13 when her first album came out. She sounds very mature and her voice is amazing. The songs were really mature too. I still have and play this cd. All the songs on her debut cd are good, well except Miss Thang.

    She is the most "genuine" person in the industry. She and Fantasia, they don't come across as pretentious. However, was raised well. No scandals and all ways carries herself as a lady.

  • actually she was 14 when it came out.

  • @Ceemoore67 she was discovered at 12 right here she is about 15

  • @likedbymany u arent liked by many ahaha ur dumb monica was and STILL is da shit. and she is real, unlike u using likedbymany as ur account name

  • Damn Mo can sang her ass off........and she still sounds the same.....even more polished

  • Love it; this seems like if I remember correctly this was on "Teen Summit"; aah memories. That was a good show.

  • See, you can just close your eyes and rock out to this and just ride the beat and LISTEN TO THE LYRICS, you can't even do that now because the music is so bland and garbage and it all sounds the same, because it all IS the same and everybody is competing with eachother rather than just challenging THEMSELVES artistically ...and dont even get me started on the lyrics.

  • Dang, I wish SO BAD now that music (OUR MUSIC) will return to wearing YOUR OWN HAIR and natural hair instead of someone eleses ...DAMN!

    I don't knock *certain* people for wearing weaves, but when do you have time to look like YOURSELF?!

    Just let the music be about itself and SPEAK FOR ITSELF and not use all kinds of flashy costumes and distractions to cover up for the lack of creativity in the music *cough* beYAWNcy *cough*

  • fuck wrong with?? monica is da shit boo!!

  • i dont think u knw her like that!

  • @gferrer10 dhass a lie..clearly monicas nuu album shows dhat she goes outta her comfort zone nd more...her nuu music is gettin better...nd sounds different rather den listenin 2 beyonce high pitched yellin ass!!

  • wut u talkin bout? i said the samething u sayin!! she sound diferent in a good way! beyonce it just a hotmess she just screamm and she annoying

  • wtf? monica is the shizzle

  • it's incredible, but i think her voice is almost the same now, hasn't loose quality, she's one of the few..SHE CAN SING!!!!

  • awesome.

  • omg so beautiful and perfect

  • Str8 Gospel & R&B powerhouse vocals!!!

  • Monica was always a force wit dat hood realness...lol! Always luved her and always will! I prefer the Apollo performance over this one though...smile.

  • vocals= FLAWLESS! artist like her keep the industry from being completely bullshit. recognize REAL talent

  • Monica has always been something serious!

  • Miss Thang does it again, somebody give that girl a phone book, Mo you the greatest.

  • Comment removed

  • of course she sounds different, she was only 14 or 15 when she sung this song. Now she's 28, artists voice do change over time.

  • Comment removed

  • If you listen to Usher "When I think of You", he does not sound the same compared to now but I missed the 90's era music nowaways suck, I can't wait until Monica, Brandy and Usher drop their albums!

  • Comment removed

  • @courtneicey15 usher voice did change. If youve followed his career, he said on numerous occasions that his 2nd cd was pushed back so much becauise his voice had changed. Monica voice is stronger now in my opinion. Ive always loved Monicas voice and vocal range. Shes underrated

  • Comment removed

  • @courtneicey15 I know its MY OPINION. But you said Usher voice hasn't changed and clearly it have. Listen to his first cd that have "Can you get wit it" on it and you can tell his voice have changed. You can listen to his early material and notice the difference. We all have OPINIONS and I know that, but when you're incorrect you're incorrect. And you're incorrect regarding Usher voice.

  • Comment removed

  • @courtneicey15 his voice hasnt changed to you but it has changed to himself because he always made comments about it. Its a FACT NOT A OPINION.

  • Comment removed

  • @moeluv1277 i agree!! yassssssssssss!!

  • @courtneicey15 Monica at 14 could not do half the things Monica at 29 can...Falsetto, range, power, control have all increased tremendously..Listen to songs like Let Me Know or Down For Whatever.

  • Comment removed

  • MONICA AND FAITRH EVANS FOR LIFE LOL!!!!i met her @ ciurt when i was payin a ticket she is so sweet and kool and down to earth she even let me sing to her and clappd lol and gave me that big beautiful smile

  • i &hearts; monica! mi fave singer...

  • I miss the 90's R&B. Monica don't even sing like that anymore. Her and Brandy both sing differently. I miss how they used to sing as kids. They had a rawness to their voices. She killed this though. i had to favorite it!

  • I've watched this video a trillion and 7 times. Yet, everytime I am moved. Brillant vocal by my dawg Mo'. At 14 y/o she holds her own. This is one of the greastest performances ever. PERIOD. The setting, the song, her swagger, her control, the riffs, the whole damn thing is ON POINT like a #2 pencil (Wassup Nikki Menage(spelling?))... N E way Monica is what Mary is to my Aunt. She's the voice of a generation... And I dig the hell out of her BEING!!! Be blessed big homey!!!

  • i agree with you totally... Monica is the truth. I hope she comes hard with this album!

  • Comment removed

  • Man mo is a freaking beast on that singing tip.

  • Can anybody get the high quality version of this please?

  • Sang Monica can't wait for new cd

  • she shound better then all the girls from xsacpe an then girl can blow

  • I'm sorry...I had to post twice. I forgot what R&B singing really was...I was just reminded.

  • What!?!?!? You betta sing Monica!

  • i remember this from when i was in middle school! i had it recorded on a vhs tape that i actually recorded over a family reunion over. this performance is one of the strongest i've seen from anyone vocally... she killed it. i lost the vhs tape, but its good to know that someone else got life from it the same way i did way back then. ;)

  • She killed that performance!

  • I used to have this performance! Monica sang the draws off this song! One of my favs!

  • she sounds amazing live, better than the actual record! i cant count on 1 hand the number of singers NOW that can sound that good live!

  • Amen to that! I had the pleasure of seeing her live in concert back in June for the 1st time since I became a fan in '95, and she was simple amazing. Not alot of today's singers can do that, it's a rarity.

  • love this song sooo much even after all these years

  • Moica is the S**T no matter what ppl say!!! From the time she was 14 till now!!! I Love Her!!!

  • majority of the r&b singers out are not real. they're manufactured down to what they should wear and what to say. this is real singing and real r&b to the fullest.

  • I love Monica..she one of my all time favorites!

  • Chills and Trills come out of Me. I love Monica.

  • Monica did that shit!

  • Damn little Whitney why you did it like that? lol

  • c dis is what brandy and monica need to do...dey both need to sing like dey use to back n da day and stopin tryna ACT and fit in wit da new crowd..dats win dey both kinda fell off...if dey go back to dere normal ways which it seems like dey doin den dey should do just fine

  • ppl grow and thats what Monica is doing, if u dnt like her new music then dont purchase it. she cnt sing this forever, then shed be the same old artist. Monica have grown as a artist and i love it. i love all of her cds from her debut to the last one.

  • wtf u talkin bout?!? im not sayin sing dis teenage kiddy love shit im talkin bout how Brandy and Monica use to sing dey asses off...now dey try to fit in wit da young ones and dress/act/sing like how da rihannas and ciaras do...if they go back to SINGIN and singin about grown/sexy love den dey would b back on top

  • 1st of all ciara or rihanna didnt create their own style, ciara is very janet jackson and rihanna wanna be madonna so bad is a shame. so neither one is original. when ciara and rihanna have 10plus years in the game then u can try to compare, but until then theres no comparison. ans surely beyonce dnt sing about grown and sexy songs and some ppl still purchase her music. the music business is very finicky, one minute ur on top and then the next ur not.ala look at britney spears.

  • im not gonna argue wit u cuz obviously u aint underatndin what im sayin

    b on da look out for monicas new single august 5th and brandys new single august 8th

  • theres always more than one point of view and just because i disagree i dnt undrstand what ur referring 2. i understand and gave my point of view. u dnt understand what i said, thats all.

  • u must b mentally slow?! how hard is it to understand dat all im sayin is dat i want brandy and monica singin dey asses off like dey used to0?! i said nothin about dey creative style or whateva random shit u said...all i want is for dem to show off dem vocals dat dey didnt really do on dere last album

  • once again because i dnt agree with u im mentally slow. ive purchased ALL of Brandy and Monica cds and IMO, they've both grown vocally. just because they dnt riff on EVERY SONG, dnt equate to them using their vocal abilites on every song. I appreciate both of their talents. and they both have been doing their thing since they've been out. just because SOME PPL dnt appreciate what they do, they not successful, thats bullshit. oh well we'll agree to disagree.

  • i agree. their latest material cant compare to their back-in-the-day tracks like 'have you ever' or 'why i love you...' i see ya point and i agree 100%. music today has become pretty much garbage,

  • i have this on vcr, this is teen summit, i remember this. Monica is so underrated as a vocalist and NO ONE IS FUCKING WITH HER.

  • Girl, where are you? We get'n tired of Keyshia!

  • This is a classic moment. I LOVE Monica - and have since 'Miss Thang' which is a classic record of the 90's and I still play it TODAY. She is to me what Mary J. is to my aunt... The Realest R&B Chic around. Mo' is a G in the game and I pay much RESPECT... Awesome performance thanks for the post... We need MORE!!! - Global Warming is AFFECTING us all!

  • Monica sang the shit out of this song.

  • she can sang her ass off

  • dnt thumbs down wtf i said bout Beyonce and Christina Aguilera, they r very talented women, two of few....they r bringing what the industry lacks...TALENT! this is rare but it wasnt in the 90s

  • i luv her voice

  • Mr Star Status, I agree with you. I can't wait for Brandy and Monica to SHUT DOWN 08!!!

  • now what female in the game now can sing like this at 14/15/16 the truth............r&b needs the monicas and brandy's

  • hell yea

  • This is, hands down, one of my all-time favorite performances of any song sung live in the history of all performances. We had this performance recorded on VHS and wore it thin. This was so good we started calling it simply "The Performance".

  • she sings from her throat like tony braxton and anita baker.

  • I LOOOOVE the richness of her voice when she was in her debut era! She kinda toned that down later on and I didn't like that. I loved the rawness of her vocals back then!!!

    She still KILLS live!

  • I know around her second cd Arista tried to make her poppish but u cant hide that voice behind teeny popper videos and stylized choreographer shes too raw for that and eventually she broke through

  • You know something, the reason why her voice sounded so much deeper and richer when she was younger, was because her teeth were messed up. If u noticed she doesn't open her mouth real wide when she was singing. Now that her teeth are fixed she opens her mouth wider giving her voice and words and louder and somewhat different sound..

  • that's not true..she has said herself that she is a borderline baritone, and that she always has looked up to Anita Baker because of her deep voice.

  • she did have braces on but that has nothin to do with that hotboi said

  • Monica did this with so much calmness and confidence, one in a million voice.

  • Monica killed the fuck outta this! This is definitely my favorite performance of this song! =) Get it Mo!

  • off the damn hook!

  • she sang the BLOOD out of that shyt....I've been lookin' for this episode of teen summit for years..thanx 4 postin'

  • She is the truth. BET needs to let her open for the BET awards this summer that would be off the chain.

  • MURKED IT..... Brandy and Aaliyah could neva hang with her vocally.

  • damn she did that

  • is this from teen summit?

  • Monica straight freak the hell out of this song. This is the Monica I love, she is so damn good.

  • This is the shyt!!! Monica sanging her heart out! I hope she put it down on the new album. If the first single poppin imma get 5 albums in support.

  • she is so calm doing it too. It was effortless until she had to move her hair out the way and do some damage. I love this
