Monica Performs A Medley Of Her Greatest Hits As The Lady of Soul | Soul Train Awards 20 

She is such an encouragement..

she teach Alicia how to play that piano

@@tootietalks wow I didn't know that

Wow!🎤Monica still got it! Timeless!❤️👏🏾❤️

YESSSSSSSSSS GAWD 🔥🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏👏

Well, thats because she was never a soul singer/song writer...she was an r&b singer/song writer. I think its clowning how they just finding bs reasons to give people awards.

@@GDubbleBubble To be fair, Chris Brown was never a soul singer/ songwriter and he still has a ton of soul train awards.

She wasn’t overlooked. You have to consider the era Monica came up in. She came from an era of other talented singers and the competition was stiff.

Wow I can’t believe that!

@@mydreamz8809 still overlooked...Monica has been great for a long time...no reason this is her first soul train award

Indeed she did!!!

THANK YOU. This is why I will never trust Brandy...Something is true about the initial rumors and your comments just reminded me. Whitney definitely did give her praise to Monica.

@@natashawall8131 whitney gave brandy praise according to babyface, whitney said "this girl can sang" to brandy as well, she probably did say monica can sang too, but whitney coached both monica and brandy so it wouldn't be surprising why she completed both artist's, as for the rumors that is if you're referring to their feud before the boy is mine performance nobody really knows what went down, but I am a firm believer of if you put your hands on me I'm going to put my hands on you, and monica physically attacked brandy according to Dallas, if she did that then to me that was all the way wrong on monica's part, but idk if brandy had carried herself as being fake but I never seen it, monica and brandy both have unique distinctive voices and they both have powerful vocals I will say that.

@@galaxyangel9128 actually Face said her comment was " This girl can sing. She's gonna be me; watch she gonna be one one day". That's a direct quote from Baby Face in regard to what Whitney told him about Brandy. There is video on youtube of him stating it.

She aiight

I beg your pardon that was the "Halle Berry"cut back in the day. Lol I know about the bowl cut though.

She was so beautiful and on point.

@@Kim-427 Yep I had that back in the day. Monica looks outstanding!

Everything that's old is new once again I differently would wear that it was cute back then and it still is. ♥️♥️

Just her voice? This woman hasn't changed in over 20 years.

Her voice is way better

Her voice has definitely changed.

Nah, her voice has changed..still sounds good..but there's a difference.

Yeah her voice has changed.. not drastically but there’s definitely a difference. It’s like her voice and tone was more smoother back then

I know I feel like I can call her on the phone like "hey cuz!" lol

Facts on that !!!

That Balenciaga ensemble deserves its own separate award❣😂❤

Whole facts

Kenya Walker I also feel she has the class and elegance of Yolanda Adams on stage

Whitney Baker. I've thought that a few times. 😊😂

Yasss agreed! She's definitely a mixture of the two

OMG! I was thinking the same thing! She can portray both of them in movies!

And it's now her time !

Yes. I jus saw this n summer walker

Better and better, she's like fine 🍷,I'm glad she finally got some recognition,love you Monica 💋❤️ Trini girl in the house

Right!

I'm pretty sure the piano wasn't mic'd. We could only hear the keyboard player behind her.

Right....I thought Alicia was the "first" I witnessed ,

@@beeyondabc4900 No she plays and her brother Montez also plays the drums. Her whole family was brought up in singing in church and playing instruments. She had no form of training she learned everything musically in church

Yeah but at least she's being acknowledge :-/

PERIOD.

Yeah i didn't think about it like that but Youre right this is a little shameful. But at least she is being recognized

Yes!!! I didn’t like that at all! I guess I’m happy she’s being acknowledged but still my girl deserved her crowd and standing ovations. Hell people people going everywhere else, they could’ve had the soul train awards like normal.

This child has been around since she was like 12 or 13 years old....Love her to Life....

I’m tryna tell ya!!!!! 👏🏾👏🏾

And the way she slung the cape and it caught the beat. Then gave them the naaaaaaaasTy walk🙌🏾💯 like I own this shhhhhhhh!

4:08 when the beat dropped the boot dropped. It’s too much!

Slamming!!!

She always look good.

R.I.P WHITNEY ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I love Monica and she’s not of my erra I’m older but she’s classy loved her performance last nite

I can't take nothing from her .

I say give'em hell in true Whitney's fashion 💕💕

@@dawnpratt846 she's giving me Whitney vibes and I'm here for it

r&b was and will forever be timeless!

Consistently boring no climax singing.......

I agree

Please check out our channel and watch an entire video trying to get each video past 500 views...

I agree wholeheartedly.

She nailed it

Amen!

Periodt.

Amen... 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Yeah she is so sharp

@@crystalshaw7420 ..Frfr, all the time

you are a photographer?

@@mariahwhitneycelinejanetmadona :-), no, I'm not. She's my personal favorite, not favorite client

@@toyam.gibson7653 yess boo

Chile, Monica is hood! I can see her cussing out a designer for trying to rush her out on stage😂😂😂

I read somewhere she say she’s too old. It was around the time she walked that last run way.

Exactly

Anything she sings, she makes it hers with that voice

I'll like to see her do that song as a tribute to Whitney. She'd definitely do it justice

I agree !

She's sucking up Whitney's energy hon. Her voice is not better than a lot of singers out here. She can't put a pinky toe in Whitney's shoes. Jazmine sings a whole lot better.... IJS.. my opinion. Being an older woman I don't hear soul at all . She has an ordinary voice.

Yesssss definitely thought that!

@@missmeria1790 she must certainly is.

Yasssss! She absolutely did that!

THE BEST!!!!! 💯

I said the same thing 🤣🤣🤣🤣 the switchup was so REAL and quick🤣🤣🤣. I love Mo❤😍

Yessssss 💜💜💜

What was that song at 6:35 it was dope

@@mrimallin Trenches

Lol right

There is no t In period

@@purplehearts5832 we use that as in she did that she own that night Periodt Pooh !

Yes. That is the song always associated with Monica

Monica so she say..love Monica since the first time i heard her...i love al lof her songs alone with .her remix of Silly and Misty Blue...i think Monica is absolutely beautiful..i love her style..her voice and the love that she shows for her family and friends...she is also very intelligent..number 1 in her class...she stands strong and she remain standing..well done Ms Monica 💕✝️

Yasss thats my song!!

I love her song “inside”

My song!!!

Yes she did👏🏽💯

Why whitney?

that’s not a reach. If you can’t see Whitney stamp all over this performance you must have never saw Whitney perform live. No body can touch Whitney’s voice. No One! But Monica in this performance is the only person that I have ever seen embody a Whitney look, class, and mannerism in a performance not brandy, J hud. No one. Not reaching I see WHITNEY ALL OVER THIS PERFORMANCE. WELL DONE MONICA. WHITNEY TAUGHT HER WELL. YALL FORGOT WHITNEY SAID SHE HAD THE PLEASURE TO RECORD IN THE STUDIO WITH HER. AND SHE CAN GO. AS SHE DID. THE SONG THEY RECORDED WAS CALLED “ BIGGER THAN YOU AND I “. On the Preachers Wife soundtrack

@@rjj5995 she Stole Whitneys whole look You’re 100% right

@@BabyGirlRegineWhite she didn’t steal it she gracefully embodied it. Whitney would have been very proud

So true and I love it💞

Yes she is i agree 👍

Just a question....was Whitney considered hood? I always viewed her as upper management.

So true👸🏾

@Dasha Ellis just for clarity...I consider Keyshia Coles, Monica, K Michelle and to be " hood classy" with no disrespect attended. Phenomenal singers. I consider Alicia Keys...Anita Baker...Brandy... Chrissette Michelle to be Diva-ish classy. Whitney falls closer to the first group then the second?

Yes!!!!!!!

Absolutely!😉

A LOT of thug lol 🖤

Yes she do

Dang you must be a musician?? I'm a drummer/ percussionist, And only a musician 🎶 could pick up on that,KUDOS 👍🏾👍🏾

For some people it is a habit. When I played piano, I was unaware I was doing it

I'm a singer..realized the other day that I walk to whatever beat is playing

@@haroldjamison556 I am a musician I’ve played saxophone clarinet an trumpet as well as drums so it’s habit but respect to another fellow musician who respects musicianship

@@haroldjamison556 The Time 773-9311 check the percussion on that 💀💀

Brandy do to she just be alll over the place brandy do

She is one of the best live performance singers !!

And sounds good 💓

And looks good 😍😍😍

She sounds terrible

@@LBloggie luckily, I have zero respect for your bullshit opinion. Why you have any is a mystery.

I mean the trolls had a point. Her vibrato was a bit overwhelming. I feel like she recently turned it down a little though which is awesome. She really is a powerhouse vocalist.

A goatthat grew up in boston now talking and singing from her nose

@@LBloggie n

They say brandy sick from rapper Trina sweet tuna perfume

Agreed... 😚✌

Especially with that outfit

She’s always had nice teeth and a beautiful smile.

@@CeliniacForLife well she had braces boy is mine album.

@@jessicarichards9540That doesn’t change anything I said.

She has a nice voice too and she is very attractive!🍷🙏
