Monica

Alrighty, we have two songs, like I said.

First one up is Monica's Angel of Mine, and a song that's near to dear to my heart, Believe by Cher.

Okay.

One of my absolute favorite songs that I plan on using in everything.

Like I mentioned, R&B was a beautiful thing during 96.

We had artists like Mary J. Blige, Toni Braxton, Brandy, Monica.

Alia, Faith Evans, SWV, Blackstreet Boys and Men, Maxwell, D'Angelo, Joe, Groove Theory, and also others as well.

But one thing about Mary J., I'm going to talk about her in a second.

And Unbreakable Heart became a signature song for her.

And still one of the most unforgettable songs in R&B history, y'all.

Okay, the next two artists I'm going to talk about is Brandy and Monica.

I remember when Brandy first came out, I did an episode on her, um, her first album and her second album, Brandy, um, as well.

And on the video channels, too, because cameos from people in the movie and stuff like that, along with Liv Tyler, who was in the movie and got to be in a video with her dad again.

Monica with The First Night.

Oh, so good.

So summertime, right? Same with Jennifer Page and Crush.

it.

Usher doing My Way.

Monica's featured twice in the top 10 around this time because she was battling it out with Brandy.

And The Boy Is Mine.

Again, it's right there.

You said Monica.

You said Brandi.

You could have got them both with one choice.

Hey, Randy, Randy Jackson.

It's a no for me dog.

And I love, I got at least nine Monica songs in my playlist.

I love me.

we're not we're not doing that we're not thinking like that it's exhausting you guys

and the funny thing especially like with artists and stuff I remember when Monica and Brandy were going through the whole boy is mine thing and behind the scenes Monica and Brandy were friends and they were rooting for each other but the It's the public that puts them or so many women together.

And then next thing you know, they may fall for it and be like, OK, well, maybe maybe I do need to be in competition.

Maybe there is only one room.

room for everybody.

Yeah, except for women.

And back in the day, I had Monica's cassette tape, but then eventually a CD.

Yeah, I had Maya, Brandy.

Let me try that again.

Number 38, Before You Walk Out of My Life, I Like It Like That by Monica.

And 37, Sweet Dreams by LaBouche.

Boy, did I stumble and fall there, guys.

Like crazy.

And then, um, obviously seeing mom do the Boy is Mine tour with Miss Monica.

It's like it reopened my eyes, like, oh my God, like, how's your tour gonna look?

Yeah.

I'm just, I'm just excited to create it.

It's the little things for me.

Miss Monica when it-

I know, we both looked at each other.
