She sounded better @ 14 then some of these grown women sound today!
Naturally Flawed period!
Yessss
Tbh I loved her voice much more in her younger yrs than now! 😔
14?! Damn she is amazing!
She wasn't 14 here she was about 17
Barely any makeup, no auto tune, no gimmicks just raw amazing talent.. I miss these days.. GO MONICA SANG BOO
And wearing CLOTHES
Say SAy SOMETHING
Looks and sounds great! Plus she's a natural talent
💥!! Tell it Bro!
Back then we had no idea the future singers would fall to debauchery on stage for mainstream entertainment
Who dat sassy lil 14 year old girl looking every bit of her 38 year old self? Miss Thang!
Is she only 14 here?? wow..
She was 15 or 16
L S 15 going on 16, but still!
She turnt 16 October 24 that year
@@cazino4 she was 14 when she recorded that song
Monica knew she was cool. Monica, Brandy and Aaliyah.. Now Them was my girls
She is singing her entire face off!!!
Without even trying
The WHOLE face
LoL!! Yes she is!
Love that
Singing like she somebody's mother up there. Lol. She's an old spirit.
When she first came out I remember saying how does this lil girl sound so grown wow.
Siobhan Shavonne Right! Old mannerisms and all.
Lol right !
🤣🤣🤣
@@siobhanshavonne7733 ikr....she and i are the same age...and i use to be like she sound like a grown woman....which she had and has a beautiful powerful voice
WOW!!!! I've always knew Monica can sing but damn! Her runs, riffs, lows and ad libs were just amazing within themselves! She just got her 8th #1 hit recently with that commitment song. Man Monica is a true r&b legend 💯😍
And she was still a lil girl here like 15 or 16.
Always had that maturity and could stand with grown singers.
Im here for all these extra sassy Adlibs YOU BETTER SANG MO
0:59 falls into it
She at the highest level 😲💥
This was before internet when tv was so cherished. 🙏🏽👏🏻😍
nikarta1 agreed good old days
Amen to that!
Ok! I remember being glued to the TV back in the day!! If you didn't catch it then....✌👀👀👀
Beverly Huttinger I Agree I miss the 90’s thank God I’m a 90’s baby
No demand channels, no digital downloads nor streaming content just radio, tv and physical copies.
Her voice was so mature and strong for her age! DAAAMN.
Craig Furlow Brandy and Usher were the same way. Wow! Real deal singers.
@@AmberSumerall That part!
She was in her prime and in her time
She recorded Why I Love you So much at 12yrs old 🙌🏾 MONICA THE 🐐
And that's okay with you? A 12 year old talking about making love in the lyrics?
@boredavocadoes Bihhh don't tell me to calm down😭
Her voice was strong because her ass thought she was grown!
@@kingdavid2931 🤦🏿♂️
King David we’ll have times changed because you’ve got 8 year olds doing instead of talking
I love her old style of singing.
Jessica Richards ikr
90s gospel riffs
So raw so real so unapologetic!!!! Her debut album era was Everything!!!!!!
ImperfectbutRedeemed right that’s was a thing in the 90’s started by the Clark sisters in the late 80’s and then came Whitney Houston and now the 90’s divas brandy, Monica, Aaliyah. All were everything to me..
@@rudolphjones4657 nah. That is totally Whitney 85-88 adlib style when she sang her pop songs live. Filled up the entire songs with adlibs
Her outfit can be worn TODAY! She’s wearing the current trends: highlighter green, oversized top, clear shoes, and Versace-like print! Wow 😲
yes . I appreciate this comment . you better know your fashion and the history behind it 😄
Actually Aaliyah is iconic and more popular and idolized more than brandy and Monica Aaliyah has range and vocals trusttt u sleeping
NATsoHIGH ! They would dress Whitney Houston older than her age too
@NATsoHIGH ! that was the style in the 90s over size clothes that how all us kids dress bk then
NATsoHIGH ! Right I’m
28 we not
Wearing this shit lmaooo now certain looks I’m 90s but
This ugly she’s beautiful tho 😍
This is 23 years ago, and she still looks the same😍. Beautiful, that voice.
Awww Mo loved her experimental riffs in her songs back in the day. The outstanding quality of her tone shines when she opens up her vowel sounds and on her belting notes. Her natural tone just is just WOW. A massive voice at such a young age. Love Miss Thang era ❤️💕🌹
Its funny because that's what I miss most about a voice nowadays- the way she used to play with her voice. She seems so safe, I like those experimental runs even if they didn't always work out, haha
I didn’t like her early tone sometimes- it was a bit whiny to me
@@byronadams5130 Nooo Monica and Bey had same issues early career where the riffs were overly done live at times then get out of breath doing them. It's all about placing them in the right parts to give songs a colourful polish. Monica now experienced where her riffs are placed in right spots and power still there but less raw then her younger voice but very STRONG. ❤Mo
@@mariahwhitneycelinejanetmadona It would at times but that's just her pure rawness which for 12-14yo vocal prob worked in her favour as gave songs added passion that the average 12-16yo wouldn't be able to produce to songs of such a subject matter particularly live
Yes Mr King!!!! I love the rawness of Monicas earlier performances!!!! Gimme that nasty soulful rich riff and runs!
Natural beauty, natural voice and talent. No wonder why Monica has had such longevity in the industry.
Prriodt💯
She’s never been given her flowers tho 💐
@@DannyM.D.N.A Soul Train did for her last year and she did a medley of her songs over the years
God given vocals so young....its crazy
This was back when you actually had to have real vocal talent and had to sing live 😱
@7Mandoblu You Better Know It. Yes you can say that again. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Tru dat !!!!!
Hardcore lol
She’s born Oct 1980 so she was only 15 here, amazing.
thetriplethreat3 oh ok
Yep and bc her bday is later in the year, she could've been 14
Nicole Lee This is 1996, she was already 15 going on 16
This sounds better than the album version. She is killing this live version. Love Monica.
I totally agree - amazing live version
I said the same ❤
Nah the album version she kills the ending with the BABY, BABY, BABY and the growls omg I love the album version
I swear 🥰🥰😍😍😍😍😍
Incredible! Sounds like Whitney's and Toni Braxton's voice combined!
Her name is Toni not Tony
That would be Deborah Cox that is a mixture of Whitney and Toni. Monica has her own unique sound.
@@rookie512038 Wrong again.Toni and Tamar sound damn near the same firstly. Tamar has more range and a higher tone. Deborah can sing circles around Tamar. I said what I said! Monica doesnt sound a thing like Whitney or Toni though.
Lovely I wouldn’t say Tamar. She doesn’t have Tamar’s range. Tamar is also nasally, while Monica’s tone is more Glottal, and that makes her voice sounds heavier. Kinda like Gladys Knight.
And to add, is it really that serious? People can’t have an opinion without people getting mad, and being nasty. Let people have their opinions because it isn’t hurting anyone for them to have them. My goodness.
It’s so emotional ... The Originals.
Her improvisational skills are hard to match. She does the most unexpected runs & ad libs & they usually sound good!
Monica gave so much without over-singing (yelling/screaming)! And she looks and sounds the exact same 20+ years later. ❤️
Kelz Davenport
I think she wears too much make up now and it takes away her natural beauty, but love her all the same
Drew Ricardo
I do agree with you there.
Kelz Davenport
For real 👍🏽👍🏽
@@MrMystri But the sad truth is today societies we’re living in the new day and ages wearing new foundation make ups, social media, TikTok, BBL’s, etc.. Many other things are changing in the societies
I wish we go back it used to be normal before. Like they were natural beauty before.
Her tone is golden. And her riffs and runs are sooo good in this clip.
Black ppl just automatically sing like that,what are runs and riffs?
Me and my childhood bestfriend thought we was so in love when this song came out..lol. R.I.P teetee
Yes me too!!!❤
Whitney is very proud !!! She taught Monica and Brandy a lot of technique and theory when it came to singing ❤️
This was b4 whitney
@@mr.wright9315 before whitney?? Ooh baby how old is you? Whitney been out since the 80s.
@@mr.wright9315 you should hide somewhere with this silliness comment.
@@mr.wright9315 As If
She was only 16 yrs old and she still look the same today, just a little bigger in terms of weight.💜
She was like 13 when this came out 16 when she did the boy is mine album.
Oooh, I've never seen this before. This is a treat. She came out blowin'. Sis sho' can sang. Never any problems. Her voice got stronger over the years. She can do some sick things w/ her voice. 5:41 though. That was sick, Mo. I just appreciate good *LIVE* singing. She didn't have to rely on auto-tune or reverb to make it do what it do.
Her voice was definitely better during this time verse now. Monica was my first favorite artist!
I agree. She done got older so it's different, but still good.
When all you needed was a voice!!!😅❤️❤️. Come on Monica👏🏾👏🏾. Sing!!!!
She sounds just like her album!!!
yes even better
😇✅✔
Whew! That vocal ride she took us on from 5:42-5:46 👏🏿👏🏿
My absolute favorite part! That was CRAZY!!
One of the few artists who actually sounded their best when they were still a child. Her tone here is absolutely sublime - rich, full and so strong. Now she uses this strange vibrato and belts beyond her range and that thicker sound has thinned out. Definitely superior here than now.
ok okokok I said this, her prime was way too early for her own good. the best I ever heard her sound here!
Preach
Agreed.
I’ve noticed that as well
That was the most accurate sum of it completely!
It’s crazy how she appeared more mature at 15 than most women today in their late 20s. God bless who raised her.
She actually sounds better than the record track. Just amazing!!
Such a POWERHOUSE. God truly ANOINTED her voice 😊
Straight killing vocals with no problem. DAMNNNNN AND ON 14/15
When she sung this at the Great Xscape Tour last year. She killed it like it just came out. Love me some Monica!
Child prodigy....that girl was only 15 but sounded like whitney houston.
Monica please go back to singing like this
Please..
She did this effortlessly at age 15!!!
Bring the 90's back Singer's not Entertainer's
This is crazy for her to be signing live like this at 15. One of my favorite signers.
such poise and class
monica is showing out as a kid. I love the woman and mother she's become.
THE GOAT!!!!!!! I love this woman of GOD
period
Beautiful voice!! She looks still the same.
I loved Monica so much during this time. Played the tape ‘til it popped.
It was nice to hear her just freestyle. She kills it every time.💯
She reminds me of jojo they both started recording music at 12 with those big soulful voices sounding much older! Becoming big so young at little girls!
Did u say jojo?.......
Jojo..jodeci??
Mocha S Jojo the girl that sings “get out(leave)
@@ertfgghhhh I am hollering 😂☠️
@@JaySmith-mz7vg chile.........maybe mocha is right. He meant jojo from kci and jojo/jodeci
He tried it
Monica is my 90s idol next to Aaliyah.. Her Voice is still dope till this day. She still in 2019 looks like this Album Miss thang. Iconic Love her
Her runs are everything 😍, sang Monica !!! 🎶
Loved Miss Thang and this entire vocal era. 😍😊
This woman is hands down the greatest singer ever to do it! She’s so humble and doesn’t need the praise to keep shining and this is why I love you so much!!! My Mo!
I love this performance she was killing the vocals on the Miss Thang era
There is NO WONDER why I love Monica sooo much!!!!!! The runs, scales, and effortless flow. THE BEST!!!!!! #teamMonica!!!!! 🖤 anyone else miss when woman wore fresh face??
Too bad Monica doesn’t sound this good today because she was a force to be reckoned with when she was young!
The marquess Foust Experience Yup her best years was too early unfortunately. The best performance Ive seen from her and of course her collab wit keyshia.
These so called singers today can't do it like this anymore, no tricks, no drowning out by music, no lip sync just pure singing
Gosh, how do you get this good? Lol. She's incredible.
The voice is flawless. The confidence is giving me Lauryn Hill. The rifts are A+++.
OMG!!! How can she breathing while non stop singing.
That scatting she did was almost Toni Braxton like. I Loved it.
Her first Album, these songs she's singing made me go who the hell is this lil girl!!!!! I was in love ever since!!!! Such an amazing singer! Her voice is crystal clear and Angelic
Boi that voice was strong at a young age...Still giving me chills after all these years...Nobody, I mean nobody couldn't fuck with MONICA..them high strong notes🎵🎶🎼 was an still is everything
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
It's insane how comfortable she was doing ad libs live even at that age. It's as if she had been performing for decades.
the fact that she randomly did her adlibs for every entire chorus
An artist we can be proud of folks. Talent. No selling of soul and character.
The best I ever heard her sound live!!
My FAVORITE live performance of these two gems!!!!!
V Green 0:59 so effortlessly.
@@jasondiaz1944 yes!!!!!!! Like butter
wow she must've been like 15 years of age
edrepresentin no she was 14 right?
@@angeljohnson6665 In 96 I'm pretty sure she was 15 going on 16 but she was 14 when her album got released. That's crazy I didn't even know she was that young.
edrepresentin and she recorded the songs at 12**
@@edrepresentin She's the baby of the teen trinity..... Aaliyah, Brandy, & Monica
This performance is so captivating!
🗣 LISTEN TO ME WHEN I SAY THIS..
I AM A MUSIC HISTORIAN. I HAVE LISTENED TO COUNTLESS HOURS OF MUSIC FOR 21 YEARS AND I MUST SAY THIS IS THE BEST MOST FLAWLESS PERFORMANCE FROM SOMEONE HER AGE. THE RUNS, THE RIFFS, THE CREATIVITY IN HER RANGE ON THE FLY SINGING LIVE IS VERY DIFFUCLT BUT SHE MONICA IS A ANGEL AND ANGELS MAKE THINGS LOOK EFFORTLESS. THANK YOU MONICA FOR EXISTING. THIS PERFORMANCE GAVE ME THE CHILLS. 🎤🎚🎙👏🏼👏🏼🎙👏🏼🎚❤❤❤❤❤❤🌌🌌🌌🌌
Here 28 yrs later THIS young iconic queen here is a special guest on the pink Friday gag city tour with Nicki Minaj sounding and looking just as amazing as she did here!! My god!! Monica is truly a gem! 🙌🏽🤌🏾
She was very natural, no tattoes on her body, her make up, her clothes and the way she sangs
Monica was way ahead of her time with her powerful vocals and maturity to match.
I didn’t know that she performed on the MDA Telethon. Wow!
Why I Love You So Much remains the best song she ever put out.
@Noah Williams It’s definitely one of her best but her greatest song has to be “Street Symphony.”
Man I really miss "THIS" Ms. Thang --- makes you realize that a Singer ain't NO Singer . . . unless she got good material! C'mon Dallas, get this lady some 'really' good songs to sing, Dawg!!!
She ATE this!!!!! 90s music was such a blessing!!!!!
Talent Beyond Belief Ms Monica!
Monica Was Always Dope, She'd Sing Rings Around Much of These So Called "Singers" Out Today.
I love this performance because she sing the whole songs. Nowadays The artist don't sing the whole songs. Go ahead queen Monica.
Monica is a Extraordinary Talent.
⭐️👑✨❤️✨👑⭐️

Anyone else notice those numbers go up in the back while she sings 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽👌🏽
Wow 😮Lil Whitney 😮😲

Omg there will never be any more good talented singers... the children will never know there was a time you had to sing live without them background singers and dancers became a thing
The baddest vocally in this game periodt
When I tell you Mo ate❤❤❤
a lot of her live performances during the 90's she sang without backup singers.
coz the backup singers are already in the instrumental
You Betta sang Monica. I love this album
Kierra Washington-Brooks yes
Monica has the best skin I’ve ever seen!!
