Monica - Still Holding On

[000brown1]

@mzbossybabii it was early '02

[Tonya26ful]

Monica was great u can tell when someone is feelin what they r singing an I know she did...

[odiaalexis]

I think she sounded AMAZING, she is ministering NOT performing, once she touches peoples lives it doesn't matter how you think she sounds, and once God is pleased!!!!

[nayahify]

Monica did a awsome job on this performance...she was touched my the song clearly..ppl are so stupid..

[jamalp1488]

people saying she sounded a hot mess... clearly she was emotional and was touched by this song. We ALL know, that Monica can sing. You can watch many clips on here of her beautiful voice. I remember she said one time on her reality show in BET that she gets really emotional with gospel songs. Give her a break. She can sing circles around ANYONE!

[lovemelord100]

I love Monica, but she SUCKED at singing this song! She served it no justice or peace! DEBORAH BARNES, WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?!!? Save this child from the demoliton of your song!! She ain't touching or saving anyones souls with this public catastrophe....

[SHENNIEBOO]

my god the holy ghost was all over her!!!!!

[calibadazzz]

i rem seeing this years ago , and i was like 15 and i rep ( stil do ) TEAM BRANDY but this is what made me start liking her , she sanng this song and as a teenager this touched me , still do to this day over 10yrs later ....

[joohsay]

Heard the original version of this song, its not like that chick is really, really ripping it. Mo did her thing, no matter what.

[joohsay]

Loves Mo. Of course to some people it dont sounds good bc she isnt singing all loud and running all over the place. People say the same thing about Whitney not being able to sing gospel bc she dont run all over the place. I'm like damn, nobody wants to hear all that over singing.

[precious1943]

this song speaks to me i love it!

[mzbossybabii]

Does anybody remember the year this show aired?

[lavellmclemore31]

omg she sounded a HOT MESS!!!!!!

[wod21]

@lavellmclemore31 she does not!!!!!Do you know quality music!



[bigmojo1911]

@lavellmclemore31 I was just about to 'jump on your case'; but before I could the video got to 3:16 and well.....you got a point. :P

We should remember to go EASY because she was obviously moved emotionally; and nobody I know can really sing at times when passion is about to make them burst. BE BLESSED!

[shalonda446]

Love it

[bowiehs]

she sounds amazing.

[Cassandrafulable]

AWESOME!!!!



[netoya1]

I'm still holding on to God's hand He has never left me... His love is one I can count on and for all the days of my life ... I will never let go .. God is real!

[Ladylace97]

i can see she wanted to get her shout in but those cute boots wouldnt let her let go

[MusicBoyKameron]

@Ladylace97 Lol...I watched the video after reading your comment and you are so right! Those boots had her on lockdown.

[Iowndsyear2011]

God is a healer,protector and I am still holding on.

[oburney2607]

Cransha! I mean no harm but i cant help to laugh at what you said now that was funny but you right gospel is hard to do you really have to go down deep within and pull it out in order to do it

[Cransha]

This just goes to show that just because you sing R&B, that doesn't automatically mean you can sing Gospel. That was painful by the end. "Gospel ain't easy."

[helpsam1]

@Cransha Amen. I love monica but this didnot work. sure parts were good but overall something was missing.

[sweetsexycool90210]

monica shut the hell up u messing up the damn song!

[843babygrl]

@sweetsexycool90210 Me personally, I think she did a wonderful job. Not too many people can even touch a Luther Barnes hit, and she blew me away. Maybe you should upload a video to show us how it's suppose to be done!!

[1prettyladyofgrace7]

She most def was under the influence of the Holy Spirit when she minstered this song.....I didn't understand it then.....but God!!! Oh, I understand it oh so well now!!! God Bless and keep lil miss Monica!!!

[ThePianoguy89]

Great performance! Love her! 

[mzbabygirl32]

I am not a huge Monica fan but she did do a good job. I love this song.

[sigmund30]

she song it like crazy.....

[SuperLatonya1]

I've been through so much this past year losing my son and mother 2 months apart. I felt like my life was over and i just did not wanna go on but hearing this song gives me strength to make through another day. through god all thing are possible. I'm still holding on.

[09GradOfRedan]

iknew she'd kill gospel !!

[theclient2k]

WoW...... I wasnt ready for that

[soleblak]

i have always prayed that she comes out with a gospel cd...but she can sing.. all she wants.

[KnotYoCheez]

YES MONICA

[ICANDIGUOUT]

mo's rendition was beautiful & obviously from a real place

[alwaysnred]

THIS SONG IS FOR ME.....I'M STILL HOLDING ON!!! GOD IS GOOD!

[mzjuicyfruit26]

[kashana1000]

yes lord im still holding on praise him with out him there is nothing with him anything is possible 

[tonzaethepoet]

[rmbb10]

She betta sing those praises.

[lilson81]

[cnote3052007]

She was really touched you can hear it when she sang!!!

[Okeydokeyfine]

[ICANDIGUOUT]

i remember this...it was 2000 & she was dealin with that horrible incident that occured with her boyfriend

[730ian]

Get it monica.. I relate to this song right now! I love the lord!

[MrMjfan2]

[curiousb3]

RELLY LIKE THIS SONG

[kenyajakobi]

I remember this one. It was during the time she was healing from watching her boyfriend committed suicide.

[SheilaB2019]

It was eight years ago.

[TT1478]

Did anyone noticed how MY Girl Monica staggered towards the end when she was walking off the stage and almost lost her balance because she felt the SPIRIT and the POWER of GOD!!!! YES'SA!!!! This just brings tears to my eyes everytime watch this video. I would have really loved to see Monica catch the holy ghost and tear that stage up.

[theclient2k]

I remember this this was during the So Gone era cause she resung a bit of it on 106 N Park when Free and AJ were host her performance was this and Free asked her to sing them out with this song...I cry everytime I hear this GO MO!

[Myzt2005]

This was actually during Just Another Girl era in 2001..

[theclient2k]

@Myzt2005 Really Im late with it then and why was Free acting like it had jus happened that weekend lol makin me late on my Mo I dont appreciate it

Thank u for the clarity

[sdh1155]

[SPRINGSPURLOCK1]

[boomboomgirl]

@keshasbabyhair This song is by Luther Barnes featuring his cousin Debra (?). Monica did the song justice but wait until you hear the original.

[mzbossybabii]

@keshasbabyhair Do you remember the year this show aired?

[Brighteyeshazel]

Yes very POWERFUL...Mo voice is anointed

[irascible26]

lol.. my best friend and i...would mimic her playing around for years.

[bigpoppa20020]

I concur wit lilnay86, i have been looking 4 this also! I use 2 hv the vhs,but lost it years ago. Now dat i look back on it, it wasnt the best performance vocally. But I still enjoyed her, because the anointing was there! When she sang that song back then,it changed my life!

[irascible26]

she always gets to filled when she performs gospel....and during this time she was going through a lot...this was happened in 2000. But, i agree..this was/is very memorable. I loved it.

[irascible26]

I can never get tired of watching this video.

[freckles02]

[sashayofkalonjii]

[lilnay86]

[TT1478]

Monica's my girl!!!! i'm also one of her biggest fans as well. when i saw another posting of this same video, my mouth dropped because i've NEVER seen Monica sang gospel before. and she gave this some more than justice!!!! God bless her gift of voice and song.

[leroyware]

I love Monica! I am her biggest fan!
