Flix/Video ~ V-103 Soul Sessions @ Opera 9/2/08
As I told you guys earlier, Monica was one of the performers last night at V-103’s Soul Sessions. The headliner was Robin Thicke. He really wasn’t feeling well and it showed in his performance. Keri Hilson tore up the stage performing “Energy” (loved it!) and Keith Sweat performed some of his greatest hits.
Monica could have taken Thicke’s timeslot and rocked it all night. Her performance was classic! My highlight of the night was the surprise appearance by Ludacris on “Still Standing”. Check out the video and more flix under the cut:
Nicole Ari Parker & Boris Kodjoe
Group Shot: Lil G, Keith Sweat, Monica, Bryan Michael-Cox…and more 
Jazze Pha and Robin Thicke chop it up backstage
Of course I had to put at least one shot of Monica and I…

September 3, 2008 @ 3:34 pmLOVED THE SHOW LAST NITE, MONICA IS REAL BEAUTY INSIDE AND OUT. AND THE INSIDE COUNTS THE MOST. BECAUSE WHILE ROBIN THICKE WAS BEING RUSHED OUT SCREAMING NO PHOTOS, MONICA STAYED AFTER PERFORMING IN THAT HOT BOX FOR HOURS 2 TAKE PICTURES WITH FANS. AND I MUST ADD SHE SANG HER *** OFF. STILL STANDING IS THE ANTHEM

September 4, 2008 @ 2:04 pmAs far as R&B goes, personally, I am a neo-soul head to the end but that was hot!!! I really enjoyed that showcase. Monica is a performer. I was just stating on the other web page how Mary J. and Brandy are a couple of the diva’s that have survived out of the 90’s but I would definitely include Monica in that statement.
Monica, good for you.
