    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.

      Watching this past Soul Train awards I was thinking the same! Monica was robbed of the total lifetime achievement experience that Ashanti received! She deserved better in so many ways, just wanted to put that out there!💯💯💯💯

    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.

  • @LaCheleWallace
    @LaCheleWallace Před 3 lety +4

    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.
