Missy Elliott loves to work with Monica (remember “So Gone,” “Knock Knock,” as well as new joints from “The Makings of Me?”). And she loves to work with Fantasia (how could you not remember the masterful ballad that was “Free Yourself?”). But it looks like she couldn’t decide who she wanted to freak this track. And maybe that’s why this song appeared on neither one of these artist’s latest album.
I hear Missy is kind of a tyrrant in the studio, anyway, so maybe none of them did it to her liking. So that could mean that she’s keeping it in the box for someone else. So, you know we’ve got to ask the question… who sang it better? There’s no telling who recorded it first… but who’s version is hotter? Monica’s sultry, southern sound… or Fantasia’s unique church pipes? You be the judge. Oh and thanx to Mellymel46 for the email!
MONICA TORE IT UP BETTER
They both are great…two sisters doing big things!!
Both ladies do it nice
I have also like monica, but I think tasia won this one. Although her poor hair needs help
she is such a pretty lady. JUST GORGEOUS.
TASIA, YOU SING WELL DEAR!!
I liked both of them, ladies doin their thang!!
whoever let missy lick dat twat get to put the song out…cold blooded!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Missy productions are always hott. But I gotta go with Monica’s although that’s a nice sound for Fantasia. I kinda like both of them. They each make it their own.
Missy’s R&B songs always have the nice vibe to it.
monica
Ms. Tasia got this one. That scatting at the end if off the hook!
JUST LOOKING AT HER MAKES ME WANNA EARL!!. SO MONICA WON THIS WON!!
LOL@ NUMBER ONES NAME!!
ANYWAY, TASIA!!
MONICA SKIN IS FLAWLESS!!……TOO BAD SHE IS NOT A DUDE!!….I mean, I liked her version better.!!
I think they both made it their own! I think Missy should turn it into some kind of duet. that would be hott
The song itself is awful, that’s why it didn’t make either album.
Missy seems to give these artist the second pics and saves the gems for herself, which tend to be awesome.
Poor Tweet! And Monica’s album is well, let’s say not at all what it could have been. She’s awesome, just too much into the bad overproduced soul singer mode, despite her great voice.
Christina A is giving us Madonna Bedtime Stories look, But why is Fantasia givin us this Dionne Warwick 1980s SOLID GOLD look? Love her voice though, but babydoll needs to rethink that stylist!
I like both versions but I have to say that I LOVE Fantasia version better. They both did good though.
I think they both sound good, but I think the beat fits Fantasia’s voice better. Although if I were a record exec I would make this a duet and re-release both albums with this and some other bonus tracks and make it a single, because they both had solid albums they may need a little push to get some attention.
Fantasia smashed that shit!!!
I like both of them, but I got to go with Monica!!!! Monica is the truth, and I hope she gets her shine that she really deserves.
fantasia
Fantasia sings it better…i get sleepy when I hear the new Monica….not like dont take it personal days
I gotta give this one to Fantasia. Her tone in that first verse was just crazy. And then she just went off at the end.
Sorry,but Tasia’ blows monica away! real talk!
I HAVE TO GIVE THIS ONE TO MY GIRL MONICA!!! THIS SONG IS HOT AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN ON HER ALBUM. FANTASIA’S IS OKAY BUT MONICA’S VOICE FITS THE SONG BETTER. HER VERSION IS SEXY AND MAKES YOU WANNA GET YOUR GROOVE ON.
DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMNNNN…. I was torn until I heard MAN’tasia’s adlibs… I love me some Monica, but MAN’tasia brought it… HANDS DOWN!!!!
Fantasia…Monica did her thingtoo, but Fantasia really made you hear the words…
Fantasia hands put the stank on this song for real!
I love Mo don’t get me wrong, but Fantasia kilt the ending of the song!
The scatting was crazy!!!!!
I have to say the song is not “Fiyah” as Missy would say. It was horrible that could be a reason why it wasn’t on neither album. Fantasia killed it tho!!! Straight church!!! It’s obvious Monica did it first cause her backround vocals are still in the Fantasia one.
Monica did it for me on this one.
Fantasia’s version was better. Her voice is better suited for the beat and rhythm of the song overall. Monica’s version was good not better than Fantasia’s.
I like how Fantasia ended it singing “Can’t help it i’m crazzzzzzyyyyyy” That’s a sAnging chick, I Swear!!! (LOL)
I change my mind. I like Fantasia’s version.
Monica is a very boring artist. That’s why she hasn’t really exceled to the next level.
the song is wack NEXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXT
I’m sorry but every thing Fantasia did after min. 3:50 is better than anything Monica did in that entire song. Fantasia showed her azz at the end of that song.
Both ladies have beautiful voices, first off.
But damn if Fantasia didn’t take that song to a whole nutha level!
Fantasia ripped it!!!!! It’s a laid back track that could get boring during the bridge. Monica lost me during that section, but I was clued in the whole time Fantasia was singing.
I literally broke out into a grin listening to Fantasia during the last 45 seconds of the song. Girl gave me goosebumps. I could actually see me bumpin this riding shotgun with my man.
Fantasia is a master — that’s one bad chick! I’m gonna go listen to it again.
Love Missy’s talents, but I could go an eternity before I need to hear her adlibs on another track.
MONICA ALL THE WAY
Monica had to have done the song first … I still hear her on some of the background vocals … but Fantasia ripped it!
I used to be a big Monica fan…
But Fantasia did it better!
YE GODS, this song sucks! But Fantasia’s version sucks a whole lot less.
::DEAD:: @ Number 28 callin dude out LMAO! Hilarious. Them eyebrows LOL
And Fantasia killed Mo on this.
They both did their thing!!!
Aint feeling the song at all!! Fantasia sang it better tho. This should have been a song for Tweet or maybe Missy can tweak it and make it for herself. You know she’ll make that shit hott if she keep it for herself.
i like monica’s version better, fantasia made it a lil over the top, monica kept it cool
Fantasia one that
There is a version that has them BOTH…Fantasia Definitely fits the song better..and this song is far from wack…They played it in da club last week TWICE..and folks were loving it….Fantasia got this one Hands DOWN!!!
WOW i was amazed that i liked both…i dont normally like fantasia and monicas last album got on my nerves
Although I like Monica ….Fantasia hands down!
Actually Fantasia did release this song on her cd…She released it overseas.

I voted for Monica, but after bumping both versions in the car, I would have to say Fantasia killed it. I was bumping my head to hers more.
Both sound good though!
i love monica, but FANTASIA definitely did the better version.
This beat sure is fiyah. I love Missy’s old skool vibe with a new skool twang. She’s is a master when it comes to that love her productions. Anyways Monica’s is more sensual while Fantasia’s has more emotion and feeling. Both of em did they thing but uhh Fantasia got it from me.
YEAH RELEASE IT LIKE BRANDY DID THE BOY IS MINES WITH MONICA IN 97 GARENTEED TO BE A HIT RECORD DUET IT WITH THE QUICKNESS
no one has to argue tasia being able to sing. . . .thats a given. that being said the song definitely suits monica’s voice better.
FANTASIA BY FAR. The song fits her voice a lot better. But I still love some damn Monica…
At first I thought Monica had it better because its mellow and we all know Fantasia’s voice is HUGE, but then I listened to Tasia and I got stuck … Both ladies sounded good singing it, I couldnt decide who did it better.
Monica has the better voice… her tone is flawless… listen to 3:10 When Monica says… They dont pay our bills… they dont know how we feel.. then listen to Fantasia’s.. Monica owns that! you can feel it, she sings with conviction Fantasia cannot pull off….
LMAO @ 7… FANTASIA GOT THIS ONE
They both sang it well, but Tasia ripped it UP!!!!
Since i can’t decide, i’m going to go with the mix lol…I love monica, but tasia sounds good too, who does mel choose lol..
both have good voices. this is just a matter of a better quality voice. fantasia is the truth
