For the 25th Anniversary of her debut album 'MISS THANG' Monica reflects on 25 memorable clips, as well as highlights how starting in the trenches inspired her new music. Part II: Dem Lights • The Story Of 'Miss Tha...
I don’t care what anyone says she will go down as one of the greats. I respect her on so many levels. She is a real woman. Classy, down to earth, talented, God Fearing, beautiful, and a REAL one.
She’s finally showing us everything we’ve been waiting to see there’s not much footage of Monica in her early years and she’s giving it all to us now thank you Lord Jesus...
I came from this era. 80s babies were big on talent shows and creating our own groups. Neighborhood girls getting together and imitating our favorite artist or competing in contest, even at family reunions. Looking up to Monica, Brandy, Aaliyah, Immature, girl groups: Jade, SWV etc. the good ole days.
She said "My people are really MY PEOPLE, and I know the difference between being related and being FAMILY". 💝🎁👪 That sums it up and makes all the difference.
I remember when Mo paid tribute to Whitney at the Soul Train awards had to be about 96/97 and sang "You Give Good Love" and Whitney was in the audience like, "sing baby!" Whitney LOVED you Monica!!!
A Lot Of Girls Came In The Music Industry Only To Get Lost, Used & Abused. 25 Years Later And By Gods Grace That’s NOT The Story Of Monica!!! When Many Others Had Mental Breakdowns, Public Indecencies & A Loss Of Morals Just To Be #1 Monica Remained Resilient In Being HER!!!! Watching This She NEVER Lost Her Faith! Her Determination At A Young Age Is What Really Set The Foundation For The Career She’d Later Achieve. There Is NOTHING Or NOBODY That Can Compare To Monica Denise!!
Monica Denise being family oriented and staying in her hometown, while speaking her mind has helped shape her for the music industry to last 25 years. ❤️
I went to highschool with Monica in CollegePark,Ga. We even had choir together! Watching her sing,I just knew she was going to be a star! #Beautiful Person #Beautiful Voice
I just turned 40, same age as Monica! I wanted to be Miss Thang as a teen, hair style, attitude and confidence!!! Monica is so underrated!!! The 90s with Monica, Aaliyah and Brandy was everything!!!
Monica was a child PRODIGY..if you just set back and listen to her Miss Thang Album it was EPIC her vocals at 12 where unmatched #period!! Monica is most definitely one of our gifts of music..LEGENDARY!!
How can you not like her?? And this documentary was much needed people need to put some respect on her name, she often gets overlooked but people forget her VOCALS are what got her into that talent show under age,and she WON! And got a contract and the rest was history❤️ and the fact that she’s still very much relevant speaks volumes!
It's crazy that she has pics with these major celebrities in her regular photo album. Normal ppl have their cousin Boobee in the pics, Monica has legends.
I never argue with a troll but I will if you come for Monica. I been a fan since I was 9 now 33 I still listen to her songs. My son know who my fave singer is🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 that’s how much I listen 🤷🏽♀️🥰 music got me threw some tough times.
My 6th-grade teacher called Monica"fast" for singing grown-up songs. Lol i'll never forget talking back to my teacher, she was a hardcore Brandy fan :P
Damn wish my boldness was this powerful at 9 let alone the diva confidence at 12 wow. Monica was a true diamond that got polished early on. True queen who deserves her flowers 💐🌹🌹 🌼🌺. 👑
Classic album... I still play “With You” “Angel” “Don’t Take It Personal (Remix) every other day! Imma always be a fan... can’t wait for the new music to drop!
I’ve always felt a special connection to Monica. We have the same birthday, both from the Southside of ATL, both went to Solid Rock Academy and both singers. Even met back in ‘99 at a Kirk Franklin concert (still mad I messed up the film before my mom could develop it 😩). Watching this further cemented my love for you Mo.
Monica is very classy, beautiful, and so cool. She has a beautiful voice to fill the room. No one can say absolutely nothing negative about this beautiful sister ❤️
Mo will forever be hands down the best Singer 👩🎤👩🎤 in the world to me. Hands down she can blow like “Whitney Houston” use to blow back in the days. #MonicaEverydayAllDay #JustOneOfThemDays #DontTakeItPersonal #BestFemaleSingerOfAllImes #ThatGirlMoCanSang #MoGameAreNoGame
Monica is beautiful on the inside and the outside. She has been humble from day one, and the Lord WILL continue to bless and keep her. Love, peace, and blessings!
Wait....what? Light the candles with a voice like? Really? Baby....he didn't know you would be lighting candles all over the world with your gift. Imagine that! Bless you Miss Thang!👑💞🤩😍
OMG, I just love this woman🖤👑. People tend to say a lot about her and compare her to other artist, but this is exactly why she stands out. Humble, down to earth, and didn't let the industry swallow her.
Its funny Monica singing Whitney at talent shows and a few years later me and my group singing Monica at a school talent show 😂😂😂 Wow this was so Bomb especially with all the throwback footage reminds me of growing up in the 90's Thank to Everyone who helped to put this together may God bless Monica her children, family and entire team 💖💕💖💕#MissThang
Monica has hands down always been my favorite female artist. I remember being called Monica with my short hair. Still ride listening to her music till this day!!!
I was smiling so hard watching her like a proud father watching his daughter.Monica still has these mannerisms when she sings as an adult.😄Its crazy her and her aunt looks more like mother and daughter. 😍😍😍😍The Whitney Houston of my generation. 1:53
Monica really deserves so much more love and more credit than she gets. She is a legend and icon. People are intimidated by her but not in a negative way.
Anyone that knows me know that I was thee biggest Monica fan. I remember like it was yesterday when Miss Thang was released. I had the cassette. I was a singer myself, a grade under her. She was my inspiration. Before You Walk Out My Life was my favorite. I still play that song as if it were just released til this very day! I know every single move she did on the video. The group I sang in while in middle school, we sang Why I Love You So Much at our school talent show. I’ll never forget.
I AGREE OR BET,IT IS TIME N WAY OVER DUE FOR MO TO BE HONORED IN A MAJOR WAY STARTING WITH DALLAS AUSTIN,QUEEN LATIFAH N USHER.MO HAS BEEN ROBBED TO MANY TIMES AT THESE AWARD SHOWS PERIOD.
I’ve always loved Monica, soon as the cassette dropped I remember taking the insert to the salon like cut my hair like this 😂😂I still listen to this album today...forever always is my song...
She has always had a big voice so don't say she can sing it's she can SANG lol loved her since day one and still be playing all her songs. Her daughter is her twin lol.
When I was in Highschool I thought she was a little grown woman. My friend James was like she was our age and I was like man I am gonna find her and she gonna be my girl watch. 😆 needless to say that didn't happen kmsl still love her though. I was too shy to do what she did. Though I had the talent.
I TRULY love me some Monica!!!! She one of my favorite celebrities who I one day want to meet. I swear she look just like her children when she was younger.
Yessssssss!!! I love you Monica I've been a super fan since Miss Thang... You're such an amazing Woman love your values always stayed humble and true!!!
I can't wait for part 2, this was such a blessing. I've been waiting on monica to tell her story for the longest. I wish whitney houston could've seen this, she was such an inspiration to singers. Monica thank you for opening your heart and letting us in. You are very much appreciated. FYI I can sing you any of your songs sus I know allum.
I remember when I came here from Jamaica @15 why I love you so much was my first cassette I bought . I played that everyday !! Then I eventually got the cd , I couldn’t find it and I had to buy another one which I still have @ almost 40 years old lol 😂.My girl.... ♏️💖😘🥰 I’ve every Monica CD !!!
This is just the beginning of one hella of a series that make me Love & appreciate Monica so much more for the 25 years she's given us in music & flim/tv. I was so Happy, blessed & grateful to have met her took some pics & we even talked a few (then married wedding ring was dope asf when she extended her hand to me). One of one I fell in love with at 7yo & from that point on I'm still riding for Mo!! 🙏🏾💙
She will always be a legend and forever Whitney's Musical Daughter. The Voice + The Beauty = THE VOCAL GODDESS. Monica will go down as one of the best r&b singers ever. People can hate on she's the best period Whitney put a stamp on her at a young age!!!!!! #Iconica #WhitneysDaughter #TheVocalGoddess
