WHO SANG IT BETTER? MONICA VS. FANTASIA
Tuesday, March 13, 2007
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!

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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….

Monica gives your a different emotion with every word, different with every line, to fit each aspect of the song, Fantasia is one dimensional, she give the same emotion on ALL her records. I mean u can take EVERY Song to church… but dont that get old in the end?

Wow, both ladies did their thing on that track (and I am in no way shape or form a Fantasia fan . . . but I had a feeling if she’d stop growling she’d sound beautiful. . . nice to know I was right).
Anyhoo, I think it would depend on what mood you’re in. If you want more mellow, Monica’s definitely the way to go, it’s smoother. If you want more energy, Fantasia is the way to go.
Now I’m interested to see who Missy is going to give this to, because the track is HOT!

Fantasia did too much. I think she could record it better, though.
I don’t like the song, and I’m tired of Missy screaming all over the track. All you can remember is Missy’s screams. She’s gotta do a better job of stamping her productions.

I actually liked both different verisons of their songs. I feel that the both of them are talented and wonderful artists. But if I had to pick one it would have to be Monica’s voice because I feel as though her voice fit the song and her voice goes along with the rhythm and the melody of the song. It’s not unbalanced or anything like that. Fanstaisa’s voice was great on this track as well and I like her voice. But I would have to say Monica.

Man both of them did the damn thing on this song but really you can’t even compare these two artist. They both have different sounds and really its all gonna boil down to who’s sound do you like better. Cuz to me no one sang this song better than the other. They just sang it differently from each other.

Both versions were good but as someelse said the song fit Monica better. i like Fantasia first verse part of the song and the end doin her vocal runs. Missy’s joints is the business she’s a genius and underrated. Too bad Monica’s “A Dozen Roses” by Missy wasn’t a hit. Thought it was a good song. The public just don’t like her new hood image

BUT IF SHES SAVING IT FOR SOMEONE I WOULD SAY BRANDY, SHE COULD PULL OFF A SONG LIKE THAT. IF AALIYAH WAS STILL ALIVE SHE WOULDVE TORE IT UP THOUGH, CUZ IT DOES HAVE AN AALIYAH FEEL TO IT DONT YOU THINK? ESPECIALLY AT THE CHORUS, SHE WOULDVE KILLED IT.

Again it looks like everyone wants a competition. I believe that Missy intended to drop the song with them singing together….not against each other. How can you judge two very different styles? They sound nice and make the song complete when it is sync’d together. Missy is a genuis and knows very well what she is doing!

I got to give it up for Fanny, she doing it up. No disrespect to Monica, but I think Fanny killed this song. Just like she killing them with “When I See U”… Big things are happening for Fantasia in 2007. I still respect Monica, though.

Tuesday, March 13, 2007 /
While I love Fantasia’s voice, I don’t think that the tempo compliments her voice. I mean, she has that huge voice, so, it almost seems like she has to hold back too much on the song.
As for Monica, I think that this song suits her voice and her style, but I’m still not too crazy about the song as a whole.

And one more thing, Missy made the right decision by not putting the song on either album.
I don’t think that the song would’ve added much more to their albums anyway.

Monica’s voice makes the song more seductive. Better suited for the lounge. What would’ve been cool is if they added a lil clap for a fade out. Tasia adlibs too much and it always takes away from the song. Matter of fact lil’mo would’ve be a great choice as well. Where is she? On the real JHud might end up with the track! Watch-

I listened to both young women and I must say that while I enjoyed both versions, Fantasia’s has much more emotion and oomph to it. Her vocals are on point and rich. Really beautiful. Monica sounded great as well, her vocals were good but mellower and in my opinion was a little too laid back for my taste. It would be nice to see the duet released because that sounds great. The blend of their voices is fiyah.

Monica did it because she wasnt all over the place with her vocals Fantasia sang it too but blowing all over the place wasnt for this song. Monica kept it nice and sexy with her sultry voice. Monica also did the song first bc her backgrounds can still be heard on the version that Fantasia did if you listen clearly. Monica did it for me I could make love of this Sh*t!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree with whoever said “When I See You” was great by ‘Tasia. I love that damn song. I also liked “I Feel Beautiful” by Tasia.

wow…what must i say, both ladies did a wonderful job. but honestly i have to give it to Tashia, when she sings you feel her emotions that she is putting in the song, you can’t say that girl can’t sang, yeah monica can sing but tashia can sang (its a difference)…it actually makes you shiver. she sings w/ conviction!!!! but you did your thang too monica, but i have to go w/ tashia on this one..hands down!!!

I think Monica did a better job of singing the song, while Fantasia’s runs and other additions make the song more personal. This song fits the feel good music category, so it will never hit radio… At best it’s a filler or a soundtrack song.

Well let me start off by saying that both ladies sounded good. But I have to give the edge to Fantasia. Man she ripped that song to shreds. Monica is tight too, but something about the way Fantasia sings makes you feel that she is singing to you personally. She always connect to the audience plus ahe fine to me. Chocolate is in this year, f$$k what you heard. One

I have to give it to my Mo Mo. Monica sounded so good in the song. You all can’t really say she can’t sing, because the song was very laid back, I mean, yeah Fantasia can blow, but who wants to hear all of that screaming all the time. Just because someone doesn’t scream on a track doesn’t mean they cannot sing. I got to give it to Monica, because it was written for her first, but I like the duet, they should re-record it so the adlibs won’t be all over the place.

I can’t believe the responses on here. Are ya’ll serious. Fantasia tore the song up. I didn’t even finish Monica’s version. I use to love me some Monica but it’s like lately she ain’t been coming with it like she use to. I will always love her though for the songs she use to light a fire to. I like this song and I wish it would have been put on tasia’s album. Missy is too freaking HOT. When can we expect to hear something from you soon Ms. Elliot?

Monday, March 19, 2007 /
were any of you in the studio, when either singers recorded the song. yeah its hot, but i like monicas husky deep rich southern vocals. no one sings better than southern women. and saying which one sings better, monicas voice is more defined, if i want to hear gospel music i can hear fanny sing in church, monica just holds herself back alot of times dumbing her vocals for the rest of these singers, but unless she go back to miss thang era, beyonce will still rule. yeah i give it to fanny, but a better singer i dont think so.it always have to be a competition, but admit it monica use to be the shitz and she needs to go way back and search herself.
