Are ANY fans still checking for Monica- STILL STANDING reality show?




Monica has been all prepped and ready for her new reality show "Still Standing" premiering on BET! Let's go over our checklist to make sure she's keeping her pre-show media blitz right:


Photoshoot with upscale magazine... Check.
BET airing commercial every 47 minutes... Check.
Interview with Mo'Nique on late night television... Check
Thug/Rapper/Boyfriend looking to launch his own career when the show gets big... CHECK!


Looks like all systems go for Monica's new reality show. We'll go through the post-show checklist in a few months to make sure everything is on track for the spin-off show called 'Rocko's way'.

If I can stomach the Tiny and Toya show then, Monica's reality show should be a breeze!


This tribute to Mary J. Blige was GREAT!

A stupid man’s report of what a clever man says can never be accurate, because he unconciously translates what he hears into something he can understand.

Yeah me too, and what's so bad about it is the girl can REALLY sing! Monica is sooo under-rated these days. She can't seem to catch a break.

It comes on tonight, so I am gonna watch it. Her sons are adorable.

I was kinda mad that they picked the wrong singles from "The Makings of Me" mainly Everytime the Beat Drop and A Dozen Roses.

I'm watching the show now and I like it so far. My problem with the show is when they were auditioning tracks/songs for her new album. No one was about being creative. It was about a "hit".Not to mention a lot of the trax sounded like the same ole' sh!t!

You are so right. She was in the studio with Brian Michael Cox and he was saying how big this song was going to be and I just couldn't hear it. It sounded like a reworking of Toni Braxton's latest song and Irreplaceable from Beyonce. Same ole' crap.

I watched the premier episode and there was nothing that really grabbed me but i'm willing to give it a chance and see all of what she's planning for her new CD. I will say I am somewhat dissappointed that she is sampling the entire musical track for Evelyn Champainge (sp) King's "Betcha She Don't Love You". I mean dayum...those entire song Mo?


Her little boys are absolutely darling. I dunno bout this fiance of hers...I know they got history and shit but do he got any money? She can't be raising the kids and payin' all the bills.

She looks fab tho as always. I can't believe she had her manager/cousin un-contracted for 10 dang years!!! Whew WEE that's some TRUST!!

I think the show was good. I think it's going to be more emotional than a lot of other reality shows.

The sampling of "Betcha" doesn't bother me. A lot of people do that to keep the song alive. I don't have a problem with that part. I just have a problem when the writers are pretty uncreative. The sampling doesn't bother me. A lot of big hits have ripped the song completely. Hell, two of Janet's biggest hits were samples.

I was hoping, and I know it can't be easy, that she would discuss her boyfriend Jarvis killing himself in front of her not long after his own brother dies and her other man C-Murder going to prison for life. I mean that's alot of drama for somebody whose only 30.

I was hoping she would touch on that too! Maybe she will in some of the episodes coming up. Poor girl has had some bad luck when it comes to men. Her and Rocko announced their engagement but a date has not been set yet.

I know....Raw...or Sideline H- should have been the first singles as well as A Dozen Roses for a third ending single...maybe even Doin Me Right but Everytime The Beat only sounded like she was trying to follow trends instead of setting them.

The tune "No Stopping" also shold have been on the album, luckily it appeared on the leftover mixtape that came out later that month.

Neither one of those kids look like Monica or Rocko. They are adorable but they look adopted! Those babies genes done reached waaayyyy back from one of their parents geneology lines or something. cool

Rocko is DL and Miss Monica is okay with it because she is desperate to get married! I feel sorry for a straight woman in the ATL looking for love these days.
Monica was also a sideline ho, so she is singing from experience.

I remember when she was pregnant. I remember seeing pics of her belly and everything.

Well, the kids just could have had a father with stronger genes.

I would rather her just remake the song and sing it in her fashion
rather than some producer chop the song up and have her sing some
bullshit lyrics over the sample. I think she would do a good job
just singing the original. Her cover of Misty Blue wasn't bad.

a complete waste of time.

Wasn't that the last album? She discussed how she didn't like the last album and it sold very poorly on the show.

I thought her last album was pretty good. I don't know what it will take for her career to blow back up again. I just can't into her here lately, maybe a couple more of her episodes might do the trick. shrug

For that previous comment about church, it don't make you ghetto...LOL!

Sorry. Yes, that's pretty much the premise. She starts off talking about how she was on top of the world, how she's in love with a guy and how hard it was for her ex-fiance to commit suicide in front of her.

After they covered that, it was mostly her discussing the songs she has recorded so far for the new album and how she is looking for the real HIT. It was cool to see her manager discussing the album with the record company and how they only wanted 10 songs for the project.

Loved her during the first two albums. I lost interest with the third album though All Eyes on Me was a nice song. I thought she was too much like Ashanti and the shit hop out there that time and could have done better.
