FIRST OF ALL MO HAD SHORT HAIR BACK IN THE DAY LIKE 95 SO TELL RIHANNA STOP JACKIN MO’S STYLE CHECK YOUR FACTS
SHE HAS A BEAUTIFUL VOICE
I’m lovin it, but i go hard for Mo, so it doesnt really matter. She’s rhythm and blues forreal!
I like the song, but not as a first single. This joint is a lil too easy for her and she needs stronger music cause she has a stronger voice. And why didn’t J records release her name in the press release? They bogus!
gorgeous…she looks so hot..I love this pic..holly gossip have report she was on a celeb dating site ~~B l a c k W h i t e l o v i n g.c O m~~”u can find out!
i am so ready for monica’s new cd
sad this girl paved the way at a young age for some of these overrated singers….
vocally she is the best right along with Brandy,,
Rihanna or Beyonce couldn’t hold a note to either one of them, accept it
hate the song.
whoeveR this pRoduceR is who keeps Recycling this tune that sounds like IRReplaceable needs to be shot.
heR voice is not foR it and she is just lame. yes she can sing but she is wack. she tRies to haRd to be Relevant eveR since she came out in a bRandy woRld. she will neveR be classy and is too ghetto. she is RatheR masculine and not lady like at all. when she sings live she does too much and thinks she is in chuRch like maRy. no one wants to heaR that just sing the song stRaight. she is not gaining any new fans at all. the only ones who MAY buy an album aRe the ones who RemembeR heR fRom the boy is mine and dont take it peRsonal.
she needs to Revamp it oR something. i guess when ppl have babies they get so coRny.
FIRST MONICA IS THE VOICE AND NOBODY IN HEER AGE GROUP TOUCHING HER PERIOD…THIS IS NOT MONICA FIRST SINGLE SHE HAS SOMETHING WAAAAAY HOTTER THAN THIS TRUST!!!!!!!!!!
NOW WOULD ALL BRANDY DELUSIONAL HATING FANS PLEASE STOP COMING IN A MONICA POST TO SPILL YOUR HATE ITS 1 THING TO NOT LIKE THE SONG BUT ITS ANOTHER TO GET PERSONAL AND CALL THE GIRL NAMES..MONICA CANT HELP IT IF SHE COMING HARD AND BRANDY LAST ALBUM WAS BORING AND FLOPPED HARD…
AS FOR RHIANNA MONICA WILL NEVER COPY RHIANNA, CAUSE MONICA HAS PURE TALENT AND CAN SANG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LASTLY MONICA CANT WAIT FOR YOUR ALBUM GIRL YOUR VOICE IS UTTERLY THE M…F….. TRUTH AND NONE OF THESE IMMITATORS CAN COME CLOSE…..GIMMICKS FALL AFTERWHILE BUT TRUE TALENT LIKE YOURS LAST AND LAST AND LAST…LIKE U BEEN DOING FOR OVER 15 YEARS MA….LUV YOU AND YOUR VOICE!
@67 THOSE ARE YOUR OPINIONS, U MUST BE CHECKING FOR HER THO BECAUSE U ARE HERE LISTENING AND COMMENTING. YAH
Monica is the best vocalist! Hands down! She going hard for all these fake a$$ chicks in the game. Keep it thorough Monica!
@67. my question is are you about 17 or something. one thing monica has already proven is how real she is so no need for me to comment on that but babies dont make you corny they make you evenn more real and take you out of the keri hilson dancing and half singing for little children and put you right in the hearts of the full grown women with kids, problems, lost loves and real life just like mary. thats exactly why mary called monica for the tribute performance. she actually was making a very bold statement. im not against girls like keri that have a hit or two, even though each one has somebody else on it making it hot (kanye, neyo and lil wayne). i just have more respect for women like monica. angel of mine, before you walk, just one of them days, for you i will, why i love u so much, 03 so gone feat missy and so many more
I think and Brandy and Monica are great vocalists They both have different styles,but of their is refreshing compared to this music that is out today. I guess they are singing to the older genderation instead of the baby boomers They paved to way for of the nonsinging artist like Ciara,Keri,Rihanna, and many more of the kinda can sing artist! Both of them can blow bottom line I like this song. It is so refreshing!
@antoine AMEN…one thing about this record is it would be huge on the radio just like irreplaceable. yes its the same writers and producers but yall act like beyonce changed the world and all she said was to the left…to the left…even the people that dont care for the song once they hear it a million times on the radio will be singing it just like irreplaceable. you say monica preaches on stage and u dont like it but would you rather see somebody shake their ass and say nothing???? please. its nothing better than substance.and as for monica biting rhianna, PLEASE. monica wore short black spikey hair and over the knee boots and stuff all through the 90s when rhi-rhi was still going to school hanging out with friends singing just one of them days in barbados. monicas first album cover is what rhianna duplicated in alot of ways in disturbia. minus the monsters. lol. monica got it . between her voice and the tv show she is gonna be fine.
For the ppl saying Monica is real , please , please , Shut the Hell up , she’s a good singer , but that’s all ,
This SONG IS RIDICULOUS , and she need’s a personality .
Monic , is to Ghetto to Bite, on Rih …. i disagree . the songs tacky .
@ # 22 1*STEP*AHEAD
I was thinking the same thing, I never watch BET but I was channel surfing and seen that comercial and was what? lol I know who Tiny is but she has not done anything since Xscape besides have TI’s kids, and Lil Wayne’s wife…I mean I don’t get it,why do they have a show?
Monica’s song was ok, better than the other song she leaked.
1st let me say that i love monica and her style is hott i love her short cuts and they fit her well! i dnt really like the song like that but whos to say her album probably got some hits on it ! i just cant wait to see her come bk out…. and not to mention her vocals on TRUST w/ keyshia!!! they go in keep doin your thing gurl theres room 4 ya to shine in some!!!!
wow, shut up cause we feel shes real. guess it was a long dy at work for you. but real recognize real and monica is just that. love the song. its catchy but i would rather a ballad. everybody aint gonna like everything and thats cool. opinions are just opinions. period. and as for monicas voice. the latest you tube from la says it all. monica can sang. period
Exactley, everybody not gonna like it but why get personal about it and talking about who jacking whose style, all the hair styles mo wore them before, halle did, Toni did so fall back,
Really though? Monica needs to come way harder than this. She’s a vet, she should already know wussup.
Amazing song… Monica is a vet in the game, and whether or not this is her first single I could care less. She gets my support! I support those with REAL VOICES AND TALENT!
LOVE THE SONG!
I like Monica as an artist. But the song was just ok.
ITS NOT THE SINGLE….. her voice is great though
Wow at some of these comments, are yall serious? Monica is the shyt and as far as biting rhiannas style, are you serious? Monica has been out since 94 and no matter what yall say, ppl still check for her when she comes out. JRecords is releasing tracks just to keep the fans happy, trust me the real shyt is coming in August, she already stated no more gimmicky records take a look at this.

I AM A DIE HARD MONICA STAN…. i am feeling the song but not my pick as a first single but i am so sure she is bringing the heat with the 1st single… i can put that on everyting…. and to Monicas team and managment…. this is our year…. lets make sure we do it big and do it RIGHT!!
i really like this!
stargate definitely has a signature sound.
do they ever change up the formula?
These people know they can hate on Monica. Monica is shitting on all these new girls out here and how the fuck can she bite Rihanna’s style when she wore the hair cut back in 1995 when she first came out with “Miss Thang”. Dumb ass idoits who has no idea of what the fuck they talking bout? They know nothing about the 90s because all they get nowadays is autotunes and all that bullshit. Beyonce ain’t the only one who had production. Hell that song sound like every other Ne-Yo song, because HE originated that damn sound, not BEYONCE. She didn’t even write, “Irreplaceable”…NE-YO DID.
But anyway the song is sick, Monica sung that shit. HATE ON HATERS. Cuz yall ain’t gonna be able to say shit when her and Whitney SHITS on all the competition!
YESS MONICA COMING WITH THE HEAT YALL READY CAUSE IM READY!
I’m glad Monica is coming back and I look forward to her new show. She sounds great as usual on the song, but the song itself is pretty generic. This is most likely just a buzz track because it says in the post she’s still wrapping things up in the studio. She’s not going to leak official tracks this early, keep that mind people and especially the bashers coming out of nowhere in here.
@31 I agree. Every track they produced by Star Gate sounds the same. That’s why many people say Ne-Yo songs sound the same because he always works with Star Gate.
She killed it… And alot of yall was hatin but we all know monica comes with them bangers.
its hot..not like the same shit thats out…did anyone say anything when tweet sang about a cab ride? chill yall..its a cute song to chill too! damn..no one can do anything these days without gettin critcized!
I had to check in on this one! I love this track. Monica is coming with the heat this time and ppl are gonna have to take notice. I don’t think this is first single material but it’s still tight. Don’t focus on the music…. you gotta tune in on the words and the vocals. The girl did the damn thang. She aint gotta yell and do runs all over the place… there is dignity in simplicity!
If it turns out to be the first single I’m still gonna bump it…. this is real R&B and she’s bout to fill a void in the music game!
I’m defo down 4whatever when it comes to Mo’
The song is cool and i love her vocals but OBVIOUSLY this isn’t a single…
I like the Lyrics alot and it’s a meaninful song. The 1st verse better than the second and the bridge really cool…
I feel that Monica has all the attributes to shine and it’s now down to the producers to really find the complimenting beat to match the quality vocals.
Taxi is an album track 4sure and from what i’ve heard from B.Cox Mo got i even better song with stargate so i’m very excited.
Looking forward to the Missy Elliott material Monica has but hopefully its all about singing because Missy always gettin Mo’ to rap a verse. Even sooo the tracks that they do together are great (except Knock Knock imo wasn’t feeling that as much. Liked the lyrics more than the production on that one)
ALBUM NOW!!!!!!!! PLEASE!!!
I know we all not goona like the same things but this is not the first single, but I am still feeling it, it has a nice vibe ti it and her vocals are some of the best out there right now.
