YOU DID IT AGAIN
I don't care what anyone says, I am a true Monica fan. I have all 4 of your CD's and can't wait for 3/23/2010 to come around cause I have to have that one as well. I LOVE your music. You are my favorite female artist in your age group. You keep it real and you always make sure you have at least one old school song on your albulm (except The Making of Me, but your still good}. I even use your name as my alias at the club, so you know I am a ride or die kind of fan. Love the song Everything to Me and I'm sure this cd is going to be great just like the others.
EVEYTHING TO ME

The New Album
I just wanted to tell you that you was write and the record company was wrong. I think they knew that because you got what you wanted. You know your fans because you are the one performing for them not the record company. "Everything To Me" is a hit, I loved it as soon as the music came on because I knew you was going to blow it out the water. As for the record company, If you have Jermaine Dupree, Timberland and Dallas Austin telling you that a song is a hit, YALL MIGHT WANT TO LISTEN!!!! Monica, I loved every song you sang on the show and I can't wait to buy the album on March 23rd.
--Congratulations!!
MsMonai
THE NEWEST ALBUM and THE FIRST ALBUM are MY FAVORITES
I just love Monica and I cant wait until her album comes out!!!!!!! I'll be the first one in line at BEST BUY!!!!! ( And I dont do that for every artist..not even Beyonce) Monica your the REALEST!!!

I'm the BIGGEST Monica FAN!!! Since 94/95!!!! 80's Baby!!!
MY EVERTHING #1
CONGRATS MONICA IF THIS IS WHAT I CAN LOOK FOR ON THE NEW ALBUM YOU GOT A HIT GIRL I LOVED IT FROM THE FIRST NOTE.
My personal thoughts on the making of me
This album was one that came out at the right time. One thing that i admire about Monica is that she sings from her heart. In every song its like you can feel that she is singing about a situation she has been through. That is what makes a album personal and that is what maks a album personal to th person listening to it. Songs like 'sideline ho' was so true and so at the right time for many women. 'hell no' was what a lot of women want to say but dont but it's so true. To be in love and have problems but still l ove that person is hard and you go through so many ups and downs so to hear your own life situations on a album you start to think dang was this peon walking with me caue they know my entire situation. That's what the makings of me was all about truth and honest, sayig what some women want to say but are scared to say.
Hell No

Fan for life!!
Monica I absolutly love ever song I have heard you sing on your show!! I hope those and more will be on the album!! I am a true fan since day 1!! For Christmas this year I asked for at least one of your previous albums because I have worn my others out!! But thanks to one of my generous co-workers that pulled my name in our secret santa I got all of them!!! I absolutly cannot wait for Still Standing and many more albums to come!! Love you girl keep doing your thang!!!
NOT SURE I CAN HANDLE AN ALBUM DELAY!
Monica you can NEVER fail us! You said on 1 episode "we were offended with the last choice!" Who was? Not I, or ANY other fan of yours that I know! I loved your last album, you made me dance & sing (as if I could!) Anything you put out, makes me feel every word you sing! Every song is right on time! Don't let the #'s make you think that it wasn't a GREAT album! We live in a music world right now where people don't get real r&b and they fall for the music that gets more "airplay." I was planning on picking up this new album on my way into work on 1/19/10, but I hear it's been pushed back....We will wait because we have no other choice, but please believe it is greatly anticipated! Keep up the good work not only musically, but in your community & home! I wish you the best in EVERYTHING!!! Monica = REAL MUSIC!!!!
I JUST LOVE YOU GIRL!!!!! KEEP DOING WHAT YOU DO
Girl I watched the show last night and I CANT wait for the album. I dont care what anybody say, I love your last album....all your album's. You have changed my love life and the way I view relationships. Every song I've heard on your show is HOTTTTT I dont care what the people in NY have to say. Us women like song we can relate to and feel and thats your music. Keep doing what you're doing. Oh and the episode from Jan 5, 2010 that LV bag you had on was ROCKIN!!!!! Girl I want that bag!!!!
--One of your biggest fans.

Don't Let Um Fool Yah!
After watching the show, it sounds to me that most of the label executives are saying we don't like ballots. I can assure you that we do! Especially the songs about love. Women are more apt to buy,perfer and listen to strong ballots like Everything. Women tend to look for and listen to song that we can identify with or say something we are feeling. I sure you want to make the right decision reguarding the songs you choose. I would say remember your fans and what they like to hear from you! ballots that show off your wonderfully strong vocal skills.Its what sets you apart from the others. So again don't let um fool yah.
Anxiously Awaiting New Album
Miss Monica, I am so excited for the release of your new album. I am hoping it is released this month January. It will be the greatest Birthday Gift for me. Planned to attend your show in Baltimore from Washington, DC that was originally scheduled for last Saturday, January 2nd but I found out the date has been changed to January 15th in which I will be in Atlanta and unable to attend. Please, I hope you make it back to the Washington, DC area during your tour........I would pay any amount to see you live again...
One last request...Can you PLEASE ask the record label to release "Still Standing" track on iTunes and as a ring tone? I can not wait to purchase.
Wishing you so many blessings this year....I will be looking for your tour....Welcome Back girl....Your voice and spirit has been missed.

New Album
I cannot WAIT for the new album* What I wanna see is you and Miss Mary J. Blige do a song together* I love you both! I love Taxi and One in a Lifetime* They are on repeat in my car* lol Tell Romelo I know how he feels with that asthma and the winter time cuz it gets rough for me too!
Still standing album
I want to start off by saying that I've been a fan since 1995 when you very first came out. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your new album. I've heard a couple of songs on your show on BET and I can't wait for it to come out. I REALLY LOVE the song with Fantasia the one that missy produced. That is my JAM!!! and so is the other song that missy produced "betcha she dont love you" i think. This album is gonna be AWESOME!! I actually like all your albums I have every last one but this one will be SO MUCH MORE!!
Monica's song Taxi
I love that song I play it all the time.. I put my niece 2 sleep 2 this song.
She told the truth when she said: if u cant please me and I cant please u than call me a" TAXI"
I give her a 10 on this song. Thanks Monica 4 makin this song at the right time. its so helpful to explain to a person how u feel when u play this song. I never thought anybody had the same values as me til I heard this song..
Love ya girl keep makin them hits & u will always have my support
MAKING IT THROUGH THE STORM
I would really like to thank you Monica for the song Why Her because it helped me mentally and emotionally and it made me realize that I don't need a man that's willing to hurt me over a chick that wasn't worth losing what he and I shared. And now he wants to come back because she's married now and has now had her 2nd child with her now husband. I thank you Monica and I pray for the women that go through situations like that.
The Makings of Me
I love this entire album. I can play the album right now and bob like it is the first time I have ever heard it. Every track on this album was amazing and it seem so personal. I just love the album Hell NO!!!! is my favorite though. Now I'm ready for Still Standing, because I know Monica has done it again.
I happen to love everytime the beat drops
I tease my cousin all the time we got into an argument I told her she was a SIDELINE HO and she is.... For some reason some of these young girls think home recking is cute....NOT!!!! Hell No is my SH*T tho.

Monica when are you releasing a new album!
dear monica
hi my name is Simmone Joyette
i really enjoyed the new album and my favourite song on it is sideline ho and a dozen roses.
keep the music coming we need you back singing again.
your fan simmone joyette
From start to finish as always
Monica's albums now are really mature and showing the growth of her and her audience. I love each song from start to finish and i listen to each album From miss thang to the makings of me from start to finish. I can't pick a favorite song because each week that changes for me. Sometimes I love one of her songs for a particular reason and find out years later that i love the song all over again for a different reason. Her music is timeless and i can't live without it. I pray that monica continues to make music no matter what...
Monica...Talented & Beautiful my favorite artist for life...Ur Bad girl.
I fell in love with Monica when i first heard Why I love you so much back in 96' ...I still listen to this song as if it just came out. Its my favorite song in the world, I've never listened to a song like Why i love u so much in my life. I jus want to say keep doing your thang Miss Thang because your the best. I love you, your fans love you & we want to here more of you & see more of you. So please keep up the good work & bring us a new album or Material just bring us something. Give the kids a hug and let them know we're fans of there's to. Take care & we'll be look'n for you.
p.s. Missy is cool but not for everybody...(Darryl Simmons) the producer of why i love you & Xcape's Do u want to...he's good!
THE MAKINGS OF ME!
I really have 2 be honest...this album has 2 b THE best monica album ever!!! i am ssooooooo dissapointed that they really did not push this album as hard as they could have...i mean it just seemed like it took 4 eva for the second single i never heard it on the radio i just seen the video on youtube....and im upset because this album was waaaaaay better then a lot of albums that came out around the same time and got waaaaay more publicity....she needs better marketing! this album deserved better....

peace&lubb....GAM!
Hell No
This song speaks so much for it's self, I really do know and understand where she is coming from and how she feels!! I do sometimes want to just say Hell No in times and situations like that! Monica has no need to worry about being too open. I have enjoyed this album through and through and there is no stopping this gurl she has it all layed out! I last but not least ask that you do bring out another album because you have left me yearning for more!!!!!!!!!!!!
Khyvs!
"Dozen Roses and Raw"
This album is off the chain. Everytime I put the CD in I listen to "Dozen Roses" and "Raw" back to back. I love the whole CD though overall. It helped me to get through my breakup with my ex, believe it or not. It's so deep how she shares and expresses personal situations she experienced in her life. I can sing but I be shy when anybody ask me to sing. But when I hear Monica, it encourages me to do my thing.
---LaJunta--
The Best
i give the album 5 stars because its monica, so she automatically deserves it. But i also give it 5 stars because it differs from monica's previous material but its still hot. SHe's so consistent with it. I also adore it because it varies. She's not too lubby dubby throughout the album and she's also not man bashing. She's just real and versatile.
