@@natashawall8131 whitney gave brandy praise according to babyface, whitney said "this girl can sang" to brandy as well, she probably did say monica can sang too, but whitney coached both monica and brandy so it wouldn't be surprising why she completed both artist's, as for the rumors that is if you're referring to their feud before the boy is mine performance nobody really knows what went down, but I am a firm believer of if you put your hands on me I'm going to put my hands on you, and monica physically attacked brandy according to Dallas, if she did that then to me that was all the way wrong on monica's part, but idk if brandy had carried herself as being fake but I never seen it, monica and brandy both have unique distinctive voices and they both have powerful vocals I will say that.

Monica actually had the best performance that night! She just got up and flat foot sang. She didn’t need dizzying runs or over the top production to enhance her performance. I think nowadays people are confusing vocal layering, heavy production and heavy vocal acrobats throughout a song as great singing. But remember Phyllis Hyman, Luther, Whitney, Marvin Gaye etc they were flat foot singers that just grabbed the mic and let it rip and that’s where Monica lives!

True , as but Brandy use to as well !

[@rjj5995]

that’s not a reach. If you can’t see Whitney stamp all over this performance you must have never saw Whitney perform live. No body can touch Whitney’s voice. No One! But Monica in this performance is the only person that I have ever seen embody a Whitney look, class, and mannerism in a performance not brandy, J hud. No one. Not reaching I see WHITNEY ALL OVER THIS PERFORMANCE. WELL DONE MONICA. WHITNEY TAUGHT HER WELL. YALL FORGOT WHITNEY SAID SHE HAD THE PLEASURE TO RECORD IN THE STUDIO WITH HER. AND SHE CAN GO. AS SHE DID. THE SONG THEY RECORDED WAS CALLED “ BIGGER THAN YOU AND I “. On the Preachers Wife soundtrack

This gives me Whitney vibes from the look and feels.

Yessssss posture , confidence , even looks , CLASS ACT

[@derrellwashington5398]

I said the same thing

[@sagieatz433]

I was born 1990 but I grew up listening to monica. During the verzuz battle I knew every one of Monica's songs. I guess I have always been into grown music cause I was a baby singing "just one of them days" and "everything to meeeee" lolol.

[@aiidencoleman595]

I wish she sang HURTS THE MOST omg that’s one of her most UNDERRATED songs EVER 🔥🔥🔥

[@jblackinc]

I agree , that song + the entire album was fire 🔥

[@destineeburwell4616]

I remember playing that song like last month and the person I was messing with at the time was like wat u got going on lol. I was like huh wym. I love that song frfr.

[@nr30199]

Great song I was waiting for "Why I Love You So Much" my favorite song by her. But Monica has so many great songs to choose from.♥️

LOVE IT!!! She sang with heart, emotion, and soul. Lord her albums put me through college late night studying, relationships, break ups, cleaning up on Saturdays. Wow! 25 years later and her music and singing still moves you. R&B is not dead. You go Monica!!!!
