Kwnowledge Is Power!
This performance is “How To Be A Diva” 101. Monica shows that she is the total package. She gives you vocals, stage presence and charisma by the buckets. I am not sure what Monica’s been drinking in her time off but I hope she doesn’t stop.
She is quickly emerging as the gold standard for female R&B singers.
After the recent success of “Still Standing” Monica is making up for lost time. In addition to a television show, tour and being a mother; the “Don’t Take It Personal” singer is planning on returning to the studio to deliver another album by Christmas.
Be sure to catch part 2 of the interview after the jump, where Monica addresses past rivalry with Brandy and the possibility of a duet.

R&B diva Monica stopped by the late night talk show in promotion of her latest album “Still Standing”
Check out the interview here and see the performance after the jump!
R&B ingenue, Monica, stopped by the Tonight Show and gave a rousing performance of her number one single “Everything To Me”.
I’ve been a Monica fan since “Like This And Like That” and I’ve always known that she could sing but her vocals now…. Its amazing to see how much she’s grown vocally. I especially love when she uses her upper register. Its not very often that we get to hear Monica hit the high notes but she more than proved she is capable of reaching them during this performance.
See her performance after the jump!
For the longest time it has been assumed that Brandy and Monica were (shall we say) less than friendly. But with age comes wisdom and it appears the long standing (Media Created) rivalry, is now being put to rest as Brandy gives Monica a very public pat on the back for the success of Monica’s recent project “Still Standing”.
It looks like Brandy is going to use Monica’s success as a model for her own return back to the musical spotlight.
See the top 10 here and the rest of the top 50 after the jump!
