Love me some Monica. Im still bumping her old school classics like they just got released.

the bit from Queen Whitney about the value of a clean, crisp note is SO true!

25 years later and still ICONIC

Monica voice is timeless, and her music catalog is amazing.❤️

Monica is so intelligent and wise, you can’t deny the woman of that👏🏽🍷

BET y’all social media team was very lackluster in promoting Moncia. Where were all of her soul train performances like you put together for Faith when she was honored? I understand we are in a pandemic but Monica didn’t get enough promo for such a prestigious honor for me.

She Killed This; Hands Down😇🙌🏼

I love how Monica and Toni Braxton take their craft so seriously. They have it naturally, but they don't want to lose it either and they learned to improve upon it.

Wow Monica aka Goonica gave us a FULL LESSON. Had my pen out taking notes 📝. What an amazing woman and legendary tribute to R&B music. The great thing is Monica can mix up her sound so makes her relatable. Pop ballads, hip-hop flavours and can also tap in the country music and gospel route. 😍🤩♥️. Congratulations on being the Soul Train 2020 Lady of Soul.

She seems so humble & down to earth i love the older generation that came before me

Congratulations Monica! I Will Always Love You!

I have always loved Monica & how she carries herself as a true Queen & vocally she’s off the chain !!!

Pop, r&b. Hip hop and r&b , gospel, country, Christmas ballads. Let be real. Who else can do that. Monica’s pure talent is the reason for her longevity. No tricks, no gimmicks just vocals!!! 🐐🎤🙌🏾💯🗣🗣

Congratulations Monica, for all the years bringing the world some beautiful music BE BLESSED IN YOUR LIFETIME 🙏🏽

Soo proud of Monica. Love her voice and truth.

I love Monica... she's so classy and looks like so kind and humble. Of course an amazing singer, one of the R&B finnest singers at all...♥️

Blessings to Monica for continuing to drop jewels when it comes to music and the business. Well said and helpful.

She is so amazing! So happy to see my favorite singer of all time finally get the “flowers” she deserves 😀🔥

I couldn't stand and sing in front of someone like Monica. My throat would just seize up and close 😂🤣

Love me some Monica! AIN’T NUTHIN FAKE about her!

Monica got bops and ballads. Truly consistent and some true relatable lyrical content. Been listening to her since the 90s. No dairy? Girrrrrl my love for ice cream and Mac n Cheese not going to be happy about that!

Really enjoyed this! Can't wait to see her on the stage tonight 🌹🌹🌹

I’m learning so much and I don’t even know how to sing 😭

What do a lot of great singers, mainly R&B, have in common? Church! Gospel will always be the foundation.

90s/2000s RnB Legend

Monica is criminally underrated! Man imagine recording “why I love you so much” at 12 years old! Monica’s voice is timeless!!! Her pronunciation, riffs and ad libs are unmatched!! I love how she sings with so much soul and passion! She’s so deserving of the lady of soul award!!!!

You better school. This why she still sound good

Yessss Monica know what she talking about.

Luv me some Monica wish I could meet her Her voice is so beautiful I luv the range the confidence and thanks for the tips ❤️❤️!!!!!

For me, a great singer is always the standout. That means a uniqueness of tone, technique and personality. I'm really good at judging who a singer is by those three ingredients. Clarity and sincerity always does it for me. *LIVE SINGING!!!* Now, I know that "nobody's perfect" and yadda, yadda, yadda, but for real, for real, whatever you do in that studio, you best be able to do it live and on the spot. No silly excuses. No vocal illusions (although I do enjoy a lot of them). Just *sing.* Ledisi and Kelly Price are always a joy to see live because whatever they done did on record, they often times eclipse it live. Mr. Charlie Wilson sounds exactly like the records he recorded 40+ years ago. I haven't heard Mr. Eldra DeBarge sing live in a minute, but he sounds like his records as well. I love rich, warm, chocolate voices like Mr. Will Downing. I love aggressive and cocky voices like Mr. Johnny Gill. I love confident and supreme voices like Ms. Whitney Houston. Now, Big Sis, all of them riffs and runs are nice, but whew! Nowadays singers take it way too far and it makes the song sound bad. Is it really necessary to do a riff or a run on every single word of the song? It sounds awful. I enjoy vocal acrobatics when they make sense, but nowadays...it's a total drag. Just riffin' and runnin', riffin' and runnin'. I feel like since there's a surplus of bad singing out there, the artists who can really sing try to make up for it by doin' hella much w/ the vocal acrobatics. 200 riffs and runs w/o an ounce of soul.

I, as a singer, really appreciated this. While I am not looking to be famous anymore I still see this as a valuable gift from this very talented little Lady!

Monica she always be teaching us I love her and loved her since 95

Always Loved Her 😍

The queen ‼️

I learn the hard way too with the diary products

Just realized I have never heard any other artist sound like her🤯. Her voice is truly unique.

I loved this!! Teach us Queen Monica!

Monica gave some great advice, as a singer vocal workouts are important and also don’t try to sound like other people, we all have our own unique voices.❤️

We could’ve paid her for this information. Excellent advice and gems. ❤️❤️❤️

"One thing I know for sure about singing is that the way it touches people when done right, will never go away." Just like saying the right words in the right situation, having right vocal techniques is like having a dictionary. You know every words to say and mean them well.

❤️❤️❤️
