this performance she was only 15. with a voice of gold. she could sing anything without having to do all the extra adlibs yelling like other singers today, if this was Monica today baby I tell Yooooou!!! but she's better approved just wished she sing like this still instead of rushing through the songs.. #TeamMonica
2017 and will still boldly state, nobody is touching my girl Monica.... She is raw and fearless with it while making it look effortless. I miss the days of real singers (SANGERS) and genuine productions and hooks. Give us the 90's back 😂
Monica, one of my favorite singers of all time, murdered this record. Wow! She literally sang the life out of this song. Love her singing style and what a voice.
Whoever disliked this video don't know why they love somebody so much 👀 Oh well... Monica straight up murdered this song. Baby got those golden pipes. Sang Monica!
She ripped this song a part! Thats why I Love this GiRl so much! Her music will always be in my collection for one of the greatest female artist of her time. This is one my most favorite songs of the 90's the most!
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".
Naahhhh, it doesn't change perfectionism, professionalism, if that's what you mean! For instance Tina Turner would listen back to her live concerts with a notepad, numbers running at bottom of the film she's playing, done for all kinds of production purposes, with a note pad and critique her own work, cutting out pieces she might have improvised, that scraped on her last nerves! I did v similar, I'd seen an ex boyfriend writing symbols down for his horse gambling, I liked that so much I created my own with my singing, my own personal notes. If smoking spliff lowered my voice then amen, a v happy accident and my range is wide!...I've no idea what Monica did, changed or let go of but whatever, her passion doesn't seem to be there, maybe only she can answer and or not, not if she's not bothered!
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!
Monica is still a beast with those vocals.... Those vocals and riffs may not be the same, but she's a force to be reckoned with... She's gotten me through some days and her personality has never changed for the industry, she's always given straight hood chick from the bottom of ATL.... I respect and value your craft Monica... Continue being real!!!!
I am a Monica stan all day everyday, but 1 thing I must admit is that this 90 era Monica was a force to be reckin with. Today she still is but sometimes she don't really be hitting them runs like she does in this video. Although her vibrato may seem pitchy in few performances, she still has the sass & voice to back it up. If a vocal coach can step in, Mo will not toy with nobody, but other artists may wanna take notes & have several stadium seats!! #Monica1Stan
Why do people want singers to sound like they did 20 years ago? Voices mature, voices get deeper. You hear it more with her because she's an true alto. Same thing happened with Kandi, T-Boz, & Brandi..... Let's celebrate they are all still doing music despite what the industry is now.
UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TRULY REMARKABLE. I USED TO WATCH THIS PERFORMANCE OVER AND OVER AGAIN WHEN I WAS A . I RECORDED IT ON VHS ( along with several other performances) By Far my favorite!
Honestly I love the way Monica sings now better than then! Her voice has really matured and she can hold a note!!!!! I sometime mistake her for a soprano now! Lol
Kristopher Davis not at all she sounds like she hurting or thinkin to hard its to shaky for me and Iluv Monica Was then my fav singer or all time besides Ms Whitney
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.
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.
Still watch this performance from time to time this performance sends chills to my spine. This was truly a great time to be a kid. I don't know what happened to us man. The soul in music is gone and these shows ugh! I wish we could have another great time like this.
Oh MY God i have this on VHS and i thought i was the only one who loves this. She is amazing. This is when i was on monica's bra strap like what. foreal.
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.
Monica is STILL that chick vocally! Then and now, her vocals have only gotten stronger and more controlled. She still slaying presently. Only one baby!
Destined027 Baby i dont know what you are hearing this bocal and todays vocal is nothing alike today is at times horrible this vocal 90s Monica was on point without even trying
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
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
Monica's runs were so nasty. Damn!!!!!!!!!
The best mo vocal performance ever
I absolutely agree!!!
I'm sorry but the best ever performance of this record
Baby, Baby, Baby, Baby, Baby, Baby, Baby, Baby, Baby, Baby,
Killed me dead

This was when Monica just sung & didn't care about record sales & industry's politics Mo was fearless

+Reginald McBride uno
She still don’t care bout all that
Monica came out at age 14 singing like a 40 year old WOMAN.
Male Madonna lol

I love that untouched raw vocal ability!!!!!!
this performance she was only 15. with a voice of gold. she could sing anything without having to do all the extra adlibs yelling like other singers today, if this was Monica today baby I tell Yooooou!!! but she's better approved just wished she sing like this still instead of rushing through the songs.. #TeamMonica
This is when music use to be music.
She snapped. I wish she still sounded like this
No lie detected here,,, Love you monica but I wish this too❤
2017 and will still boldly state, nobody is touching my girl Monica.... She is raw and fearless with it while making it look effortless. I miss the days of real singers (SANGERS) and genuine productions and hooks. Give us the 90's back 😂

She ripped this song a part! Thats why I Love this GiRl so much! Her music will always be in my collection for one of the greatest female artist of her time. This is one my most favorite songs of the 90's the most!
MONICA MISS.THANG IS A LEGENDARY ICON🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊💯💯💯💯💯💯🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
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".
Totally Agree, I wanna find this perfomance in better quality to turn into an Mp3 & listen to on repeat daily. Best live performance ever!!
She slaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayed this! Loved her then and still love her now. #Effortless
Monica did this with so much calmness and confidence, one in a million voice.
Monica needs to sing like this again. So organic! I hate how now she just holds flat notes out of no where and doesn’t use her range!
Tbh I think shez a weed smoker lol and it has changed her voice drastically :(

Both Brandy and Monica look up to Whitney Houston influenced since they were kids
I agree
Right n period

She's gotten me through some days and her personality has never changed for the industry, she's always given straight hood chick from the bottom of ATL.... I respect and value your craft Monica... Continue being real!!!!
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.
I hope this video is never taken down for no reason!
Monica Monica Monica. Your voice is all I need to get my day going. I have dreams of performing with you one day. You are truly a motivator!
I am a Monica stan all day everyday, but 1 thing I must admit is that this 90 era Monica was a force to be reckin with.
