VIDEOS: MONICA - ‘A DOZEN ROSES’

Wednesday, November 15, 2006

Monica keeps it ghetto fab and sexy in her new video for the second single ‘A Dozen Roses’, off ‘The Makings Of Me’. The video premiered today on BET and I really dig this song.

Thanx Taylor for the link!

Kool video. Like this song. Maybe its just me but this video kinda reminds me of LeToya’s video for She Don’t. Some of the settings look similar to me. Maybe they had the same directors.

Lol @ 7, I was thinking the same thing, some ppl need to wear clothes at all times.. like Star in the other post..

@ 9, I agree, this video reminds me of a combination of videos… someone’s been biting

I actually like this song, although my love affair with Monica ended years ago. I will say, though, I cannot stand it when she “raps” and that Bacardi Limon product placement was just a bit extra for me.

I don’t like this song at all.

I like the old Monica. The “just one of those days” Monica. I met her in Atlanta about a year ago. She’s really nice and pretty.

The tattoo on her leg is bigger than her leg. She is just to scrawny to be rollin around on the bed naked, when she rolled over on the bed her boobs werent even filling out the bra. Oh my, but cute song!!

Okay watching it a 2nd time, these are the videos Monica’s video is biting..

The very first scene in the bed: Amerie “One Thing”

When Monica is looking directly at the camera: Aaliyah “Rock the Boat”

Monica laying down: Gwen Stefani “Luxurious”

Monica in the restaurant: Latoya “She Don’t” or Fantasia “Truth Is”

Monica walking down the street: I think a Jill Scott video, I can’t remember

monica has def evolve, from a gyal to a mother/future-wife/woman,a nd she’s done it ever so gracefully, feeling the song and the cd erbody def needs a copy!!

@ 27 Rena, you’re right, but her video is REALLY obviously with it, and the lyrics remind me of R. Kelly’s song..

Only reason I’m bringing her out is because I expect more from her, she used to run it in the 90’s, but she lost it, I agree with #26 Love.

I’m sorry, love the song, hate the video.

Am I the only one who thinks that Monica is just totally unbelievable when she tries to come off as ghetto in her videos? She just looks like she’s trying too hard. I can’t watch the video for Everytime the Beat Drops with a straight face, she just doesn’t look right. This video isn’t as bad as Everytime the Beat Drops, but she’s still trying to do that ghetto look. She was almost looking sexy-but-classy in the bed scene but those big-ass tattoos ruined the whole shot.

Bring back SASSY Monica with the short and sexy haircut. Because hoodrat Monica just isn’t doing it for me.

38.

Monica just ruined my favorite song. Curtis Mayfield would never approve this. YOu people must hear the original. Lauryn Hill sang this at Cutis’ Memorial Service. It was wonderful. If I can find a link I will load it for you guys. I have the mp3, but I am computer illiterate.

I love this video and it makes me love the song even more and monica really looks nice and to the people who say she to skinny she should keep her clothes on sounds like hate to me because everybody don’t wanna be big and fat.

I’m thin and it’s not that Monica looks bad because she’s thin but something about her body doesn’t look right, no hate (you know I gotta say that b4 I get labeled as a hater). Amerie is thin and she looked good in her vidoes..

love monica… but not really feeling the song. hopefully it will grow on me.

and i dont think she should have done that peek-a-boo scene. shes very pretty but the girl has NO curves. and that has nothin to do with her being skinny because i know skinny girls who have some kind of curves. shes just straight up n down… like a little girl. you cant be mad at people for saying it because its true.

50.

Right I have a girlfriend that wears an extra small, but she got curves, I mean bootie and hips!! Monica looks like pencil. I mean, she is a loaded pencil so Im not mad at her!!

There were a couple times when she reminded me of Keyshia Cole in the video. It must be the hood rat chic swagger that they both have perfected.

@21, yeah I’m sure she sat down a was like “what videos should I bite off of for this song?” I guess.

You can’t compare Monica to the “One of Those Days” and now, she was like 13 when she did that video! I’m pretty sure none of us are the same as we we’re when we were 13 (Just take a look at my recent myspace pic lol!)

Clearminded

Thursday, November 16, 2006 /

This song is just mediocre and the video is horrible. The use of the sample is not impressive at all. I can’t believe that with that gorgeous voice she has Monica is singing such boring material. There is nothing musically interesting about this song. And her body looked like my 9 year old nephew’s when she was laying on that bed. Why, oh why did they do that shot? Two lackluster singles from this album so far. Pity.

Oh my God Monica you have my baby Marlo(in case you don’t know who he is he star’s in The Wire the HBO series)in your video GO Mrs ATL do the damn thing. I’m just happy to see that’s she doing her thing after everything she’s went through.Go Mo

Monica is my girl, since she told me “don’t take it personal”…this girl can sing..i’m still mad no ones buying her album..it’s good..but side bar..she got my dude dude marlo from the wire in the video… i like him and her…so the video is hot.

65.

OrangeMoon

Thursday, November 16, 2006 /

Monica is too hood/ghetto for me now. “You remind me of my Gucci shoes?” I mean, you could’ve gotten a bit more metaphoric than that. And them big ass tattoos…ewww…you can be a bit hood and classy at the same time. And this is comin’ from a used to be huge fan of hers so I ain’t just purposely hatin’.

66.

Sweetneesee

Thursday, November 16, 2006 /

Monica has a boyish shape. its nothing wrong with her being thin but she doesn’t have any shape at all. I really wish she would have stuck w/ the covered up look like she was doing before in her career cuz the sexy look is not for you boo. She’s beautiful, not sexy. and whoever said her body looked better in her early career, i agree.

67.

Thursday, November 16, 2006 /

Co-sign @ #61! Something is definetly missing. Used to prefer monica back in the 90’s. She does have a really good voice, but the music she is doing nowadays isn’t cutting it for me.

I love Monica. I’m still playing her old songs.

Jason

Thursday, November 16, 2006 /

People who prefer the “OLD” Monica prefer a 12yo girl cuz that’s when she recorded the album. I believe it dropped when she was about 14yo. I respect people having a difference of opinion but there’s not much logic. What if someone said I preferred the 13yo YOU and you’re 25? I mean that’s ridiculous. We all grow up. Just my 2 cents.

70.

Jason

Thursday, November 16, 2006 /

2 more cents. Although, I am a fan and have been so for a long time I do agree with the lack of originality. It’s not her “biting” per se but the fact that the same video directors are used over and over again and honestly how many original ideas can they have (just giving them the benefit of the doubt). To have an original or “different” video these days you have to use someone unknown or who’s just starting out directing.

Thursday, November 16, 2006 /

shes boring, wat kind of ghetto song is this “u remind me of my gucci shoes” lack of good lyrical content. she needs to find a new song writer. shes not that pretty at all, “one of those days” was my tune. if any1 has it please send it to me or giv me the link. peace

“She is just to scrawny to be rollin around on the bed naked, when she rolled over on the bed her boobs werent even filling out the bra.”

What boobs? Poor thing.
That video just made me sad. She has always been skinny though. She was skinny in her old videos, she just dressed differently. Now she tries to dress like she has a shape, it’s just that she doesn’t.
Skinny jeans when you are really bony is not a good look. Low cut tops when you have no boobs is DEFINITELY not a good look. Showing all of that bird chest! Please stop doing that, by the way.

I’m not a big fan of the song, nor the video. However I love Monica’s voice. She’s one of the few in the industry that can carry a note well without have it digitally remastered. I expected more from her in this video.

This is for #40 read this MONICA IS BORDERLINE ANOREXIC SHE IN MY OPINION IS TOO SKINNY,there is a difference with slimness and just plain BONY. I happen to be a slim woman but I have hips and ass so there is a difference. I agree with your comment #49 thank you!

I don’t know why everybody trippin about her being small so what it’s nothing new. In the industry her size is considered perfect. Her weight don’t have anything to do with her talent only the real can identify with her music.

82.

Htown

Thursday, November 16, 2006 /

You’re funny PrettyGirl86, b/c I thought the same thing. That this video is stealing from other ones. When I saw her laying on the floor trying to look sexy I thought of kelis’ video for Bossy, I knew there were other videos and you reminded me of Gwen Stefani’s video and someone else said Ashanti. Then when I saw her hair curly I thought of Letoya’s, She Don’t video. I like many of the posters used to love Monica’s sound but I just can’t get into her right now. This song is okay but it’s not the “sanging” Monica that I’m used to with the strong ballads.

83.

star

Thursday, November 16, 2006 /

THE VIDEO IS HOTTT AND MONICA IS A PETITE GIRL BUT STILL SEXY(EVERYBODY DONT WANNA SEE NO FLAB HANGING OFF) SHE JUST THE RIGHT SIZE.
MONICA SHOWCASE HER VOCALS AND DID THE SONG JUSTICE.
TO PEOPLE THAT TALKING ABOUT HER LYRICS, EVERYTHING A SINGER SINGS ABOUT DONT HAVE TO BE SERIOUS, I BET YOUR FAV SINGER HAS SOME LYRICS TOO THAT ARE QUESTIONABLE????????????????????
ALMOST EVERY SINGER HAS SHOWN SOME SKIN(BEE,ASHANTI,BRANDY,TAMIA,MYA,JANET,CIARA,ETC,ETC,ETC,AND SHOULD I GO ON) MONICA DID IT YES, BUT SHE DID IT CLASSY NOT TRASHY SWEETIES THERES A DIFFERENCE
MONICA THE VIDEO IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL AND YOUR A REAL SANGER………………………….PERIOD,
YOUR GORGEOUS AND KEEP DOING YOU, GO MO STAND TALL GIRL.

85.

Honest Truth

Thursday, November 16, 2006 /

Yeah…… the song is okay and the video is okay… but thats about it.

#80 - Brandi… it ain’t nothing on that record to promote. J records ain’t stupid. Monica was to drop this mess.

Monica’s music career is dead. Just face the facts that the girl is 10 minutes late on everything. Please lets not talk about her weight again.

ALL THE RESPECT I DID HAVE FOR MONICA IS GONE, AND YOU HAVE A WHITE JESUS ON YOUR (SAD AND CONFUSED) ARM AND ROLLING AROUND LIKE A TRASHY WHORE, YOURE A BLACK WOMAN AND A MOTHER WHAT AN EXAMPLE….SO DISAPPOINTED, I USED TO LOVE HER FOR THE OPPOSITE REASON THAT I DISLIKE HER NOW, SHE DIDNT NEED TO STOOP SO LOW–BEYONCE IS GETTING TO THE BEST OF THEM!

Damn, can Monica get a break?? This is first time she’s ever showed so much skin and she didn’t look nasty either. I think she looks great. Rock on Monica!

Don’t know who that dude was in the video but D@MN he ugly. NE Way, I like this song and she looks absolutely pretty in the video. Love the hair color. Really wasn’t feeling the bed scene. I guess she is trying to be sexy for the men but Monica you skinny girl. LOL My ole man said last night while we were watching the making of the video…well actually he told me to turn the channel because he didn’t want to see Mo skinny a$$. Which I thought was rude b/c when we were watching the Hip Hop Awards he eyes were glued to the TV when the strippers were dancing on the pole during Young Jeezy performance. So Mo I dont think guys find you sexy but maybe I’m wrong. I still love ya girl! TEAM MONICA!

HATERS! Monica finally grows up to 26, and now folk still want her to be 13 again. Get over it.

She has a 16 month old son, and is still 110. Why are we discussing her body? Would it be better if she got some breast implants?

MONICA you’re beautiful, and thanks to both you and Beyonce for changing up the game a little. If I hear one more ‘unsung’ song w/ a lot of production, video with too much dancing, w/ someone who can’t perform or doesn’t know who they are yetI’m going to lose my mind.

94.

Khinje

Thursday, November 16, 2006 /

I love Monica’s new CD. Matter of fact, “A Dozen Roses” and “Why Her” are my favorite cuts.

However, I am not feeling the video - too blahhhhhh.
I HATE her hair. Shit, you rockin Gucci shoes but can’t find a style and or color that suits you?
Out of all them fabulous salons/stylists in the ATL??

IMO she tries WAY to hard to be sexy, it’s sickening.
Real sex appeal does not require a lot of effort.
Looks like a few too many people told her that she has a pretty (or sexy) smile. You can tell that compliment went to her head. Watch the vid again and check out how she smiles at the camera.

Them some big ass chompers, Monica.

Thursday, November 16, 2006 /

I think monica is so damn pretty and her album has nothing but great songs all the way through I didn’t skip not one song. Plus to all the haters stop bitin monica please and so what if she did things on her video that others did on theirs it happens all the time. Oh and to anyone who thinks her body is nasty it’s not don’t hate cause you ain’t trim and slim. No offense I love big girls!!

96.

first time

Thursday, November 16, 2006 /

i think monica is doing her thing.. she’s acting sexy cuz she feels sexy with the new love in her life and a beautiful child… u know good love in your life can make u feel like that! plus now she’s a grown woman… i would be worried if it was one of these lil young fast behind girls rollin’ around naked as u know they do.

she’s always been skinny but she working with what she has… any woman at anysize she play up what she feels are her best attributes. otherwise we’d be in here talking about how uncomfortable she looks in her own skin… i prefer not to have a lot of tatoo’s but i respect that she got her no matter what the industry told her what was “proper” for a young woman to do. she’s just being herself. i really like that song and the video was cool.

Man, I hate saying this but Monica singles so far is beneath her
Monica is a very taleted woman who is trying too hard to be sexy when she don’t need to
I know sex sells but Monica’s voice will sell CD’s not being half naked in her video
Very disappointed in her singles and videos
I miss Monica’s old vibe like “Before you walk out of my life” days

I haven’t watched the wire since befire Idris was taken off, so I didn’t know who that guy was. But that last shot of him was UGLY, he was channeling AKON, ashy lips and all.

Anyways, Monica is SO pretty! It is obvious she has become a woman now.

I like this song IN SPITE OF MYSELF - the melody, the Mayfield sample, great. I have a problem with the comparison to Gucci shoes, and tight jeans? But that is who Monica is today. There isn’t a lot of substance anymore. Yet she still has an undeniable touch she adds that makes the most contrary things likeable.

I agree and completely understand most people when they say they preferred the old Monica - Even 14 year-old Monica. First off, that was NO average 14-year-old. I’m 27, a year older than she is now, and I have been a fan since age 15, when she dropped. Songs like, ‘Before You Walk Out of My Life’, and Just One of Dem Days, still apply to my 27-year-old self. Even the ‘Boy is Mine’ album had more substance and meaning. ‘Angel of Mine’, Take Him Back, the song with Outkast - ‘Gone Be Fine’. She was only 18 then. But those were some real songs, that any woman could listen to, relate with and appreciate.

Monica just wants to only show her ghetto side now. Which I don’t even think that’s whta she’s accomplishing. White boys from the burbs like Gold teeth hand tattoos. Those things come with the territory, but that’s not all ‘Ghetto’ is about. It’s coming form a certain way of life, a culture, that can be discouraging, progressing and succeeding in spite of it, and maintaining the earthiness and sense of self it provided you with.

I think Monica could do all these things w/o dumbing herself down the way she is doing. It’s obvious in the way she speaks, dresses and carries herself that there is more to her than what she has been presenting as of late. But, then again, while that may be true, maybe that’s all she wants…now that’s what’s GHETTO.

After reading all the posts, I have to add Monica IS ghetto. She was classed up by her label and I don’t mean that to say she doesn’t have any, she’s just never been the R&B princess chick you think. (That would be Ashanti or Amerie.) Monica keeps a gangsta boyfriend, and she lives a regular ATL chick life despite her celebrity. So what you are seeing is not an act, that’s really her. It’s kind of like finding out that pop princess Britney really is trailer trash. Just because folks dress you up and style you and image you, doesn’t mean that’s really YOU.
As for those who think the video and song are beneath her, I have to agree. I feel like I’ve seen MONICA herself make that video before. This is one sister who’s vocal talent is underrated, she can sing and her last album showcased her voice. This one sounds like it was put together by producers in a hurry to get it out….she’s too talented to settle for this.

while brandy and beyonce grew up, monica kinda went backwards.

Monica has absolutely no form and she looks all pale in this video.

And its just a dumb song to begin with, she’s using the fact that she’s from Atlanta to try and sell records but its not working.

Can someone please tell me why the fu*k she did “Everytime the Beat Drops?” That was pretty much a signal that her career is over with.

I co-sign TOTALLY! I’m telling yall, this album is NOT all that! If this is the second single, why r they playing “Sideline Ho” down here like it’s going out of style! I can’t stand that song and don’t understand why they play it with the “HO” still in it. Ertime it comes on, I have to change the station cuz I don’t wanna hear it nor do I want my kids to be listening to it either. Anyway, this song is alrite but I wouldn’t buy the CD. Just not TOP quality to IMO!

Monica has always been skinny, so I don’t know why thats such a big deal to everyone. She looked really pretty, and besides the tattoos, I didn’t really see anything wrong with her body in the vid..maybe it’s because I’m thin too..Her and Letoya Luckett are pretty much shaped alike except that Letoya is bigger up top..

MONICA IS BEAUTIFUL, TALENTED, AND HAS A VOICE THAT MOST OF THESE SO CALLED R&B CHICS WISHED THEY HAD…MONICA’S IS GOING TO BE EXACTLY WHO SHE IS….”MONICA” OH YEAH, AND ABOUT THE TATTOO THEORY, SINCE WHEN DID HAVING TATTOOS WHETHER BIG OR SMALL BECOME SO GHETTO? I’M CURIOUS ABOUT THAT..
