      WOW….monica has been killing her performances every time lately… before i go further charles seek medical attention. most things i read that you post just disgusts me….i wish you were an old white gay man… then i could handle your ridiculous rants and call you racists a–holes and so on.but the fact that your a young black man (clearly gay) which theres nothing wrong with is sad. reason being you know what it feels like to have to strive harder than those with less talent .you are contributing to the demise of the respect for our people and its plain stupid. the obsession with monica is weird..and she is in high places with all the right people lately to take her career back where it needs to be. before i typed i researched and yes shes gold with ONE single..unheard of these days and the people you compare her to dont come close to who she is..yeah she has a past like us all. who cares. what she represents now, does it for me…just calling it like i see it.. if tiny finds out who you are from the looks of her tweets to you. you are gonna get a real beat down..and if you really believe what you say. post your picture and stand behind your words. then and only then you could get some respect

      Charles your a dumbass, you know damn well Monica has sold more then 300,000 copies of Still Standing. Mojority of the times albums are certified before they actually reached the mark because the album in due time will go on to sale it. Now with hits daily double numbers, Monica is in between 430K-440K. Now her actual numbers should be a lil higher because there are certain sales that hits does not count. Like the person said, This is all off one single, a single in which you said would flop but at the end of the day ETM went on th spend 7 weeks at number 1.

      Monica is more of a "black Artist" he is kind of right about that. However, monica has been in the game a long time. She will never be a beyonce or A keys because she doesnt cross over. I like that she stays true to who she is. ALMOST the same with fantasia. Fantasia is a household name because of american idol so she has more potential to cross over. exspecially after hearing new tracks for this album. This girl is fixing to kill the game. MONICA IS STILL NOT GOLD THOUGH to be honest.

      Fantasia over Monica you get a sit ya azz down for that one. Don’t get me wrong I like Fanny and everything but that chick is the defintion of a hood rat. Sidenote Monica albums’s is gold. Check the web, what God has for you is for you. Monica has said she doesn’t want to be a Beyonce or Akeys she’s fine where she is. Monica will forever be a vet in the game. People love Mo b/c she’s relatable there’s nothing fake or phony about her. Unlike Beyonce she’s not relatable when she does interviews she seems stiff, fake, and phony. Lets hope BB homemakes fall from grace won’t be a hard one. I bet that b*itch has all kinds of skeletons in her closet. Team Mo all day b/c she’s real…

      hood rat doesnt take away from her talent.. the girl is a vocal beast. Your point in un-valid. Her being an american idol puts her over monica in the cross over factor alone by itself. Monica is good but theres nothing special about her vocals. She sings like everyone else. When i hear a monica song I dont her her turning it. Fantasia takes me there every time and always delivers. She is no cookie cutter singer even in relivance to both ladies singing the national anthem. Fantasia version is full of soul and has proven time and time again that she is a force to be rekoned with .. vocally that is.. now she could use help becomming more polished. but fantasia hands down gives you what you want. care to keep on going?

THERE WILL NEVER BE A SECOND SINGLE BECAUSE J RECORDS HAS ALREADY RULED FLOPICA AS UNPROFITIABLE AND WILL NOT PROVIDE THE $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ FOR A SECOND SINGLE! THIS IS MONICAS LOWEST SELLING ALBUM, THIS AND MAKINGS OF FLOP. AND I CANT BELIEVE YOU BITCHES ARE BRAGGING ABOUT 400K, SHE MY AS WELL RETIRE AND GO HAVE MORE KIDS WITH KNOWN DRUG DEALERS!

      OH AND AS FAR AS THE VOCALS THE BACKGROUND SINGERS SLAYEEDDDDDDDDDDDDDD HER WEAK ASS. SHE NEED SOME LESSONS SHE SHOULDVE ASKED THOSE "DARK SKINNED" GIRLS HOW TO HIT THEM NOTES, CUZ SHE AINT BEEN ABLE TO FIGURE IT OUT IN 15 YEARS. BUT WE ALL KNOW MONICA DONT LIKE DARK SKINNED GIRLS

      Charles you are hating hard bro. Appreciate the fact that she is where you are not, seen and done things you are still dreaming of doing, and yes she is "Still Standing".

      As a man who appreciates good music, I could care less about arguing over her record sales (side eye => Where is your CD – has is sold anything?).

      Imm just saying its not cool to hate like that and put people down, thats our problem as a people. Hating for no reason – dont infect us with this virus too!

      Have a good day bruh!

      TEAM MONICA!

      @ idunno you have your opinion and I have mine go back and reread my blog I never said Fanny couldn’t sing she can. But the chick is still a hoodrat point blank. I’m team Monica all day she’s relatable and has an amazing voice. In the real world everybody isn’t gonna have the same opinion grow up and deal with. Fanny needs to stick with that etiquette coach. I’m sorry I don’t won’t to see her kicking off her fu*cking shoes every person. I don’t want to see her cheap azz rainbow or body central dress @ classy awards shows. Once again I’m not taking away from her voice. But Monica knows how to perform gracefully unlike Fantasia. Sorry get over it…

      Charles obsession with Monica is TRULY scary. Monica needs to watch her back. I wouldn’t be surprised if f@ggot @ss Charles knocks her over her head just to slip his big crusty feet in her shoes, so he can walk in’em for a day.

      Oh and about him being exposed. This "fale" (female born male) was on SR back in the day talking about how his parents live in Duluth in the Sugar Loaf section and blah blah blah. Riding off of THEIR backs. I do believe he was in the "military" (so he claimed) probably came out during the "don’t ask don’t tell" and was discharged. And he DEVOTES his every psychotic being to Monica! How delusional is that!

      Charles you ain’t sh!t. Ain’t never been sh!t and will never be sh!t……..The only sh!t you know about is that aftertaste thats left in your mouth….and the ONLY blowing up you will EVER come close to is what your partner is leaking off in your @sshole!

      @ Prynsexxx your soooo right Charles obession with Monica is Truly scary. I mean he is the perfect example of someone who has serious issues and is in desperate need of help. Charles has Goons? lol, Jeminibish is Charles’s goon, oh and lets not forget the goons that live within charles head. If you let charles tell it, he got a goon that works a jrecords, one in Monica’s camp,one that has access to her bank records, & etc etc etc.

      Charles Hater you are f’n weird dude. It is apparent that you need phycological help and you skipped a few days on taking your meds. It’s obvious that Monica has done nothing to you so pull the dry d*** out of your a**, grow a few balls and recognize her for the talented hard working woman and mother that she is. If she was such a ‘flopioca’ or what ever you call her she wouldn’t have been around for 15 years you dumbass. You wanna be like her and it kills you to know that you will never have half the success that she has, so until you decide to expose yourself and take your a** whippin like a man, keep hiding behind a computer screen like the b**** that you are.
