I'll be 42 next week and I'd venture to say we grew up with some of the best music. Monica, Brandy, Usher...they are our childhood and adulthood as artist who make great music and are awesome talents. We jammed hard in the 90's 😂😂
She’s def not underrated. Tamia is underrated. Glennis Grace is underrated. Deborah Cox is underrated. Heather Headley is underrated. I could continue. Think you get my drift. Monica is a superstar.
Great analysis! I love Usher, Brandy, Aaliyah, & Monica. They've had such a huge impact on music and set the tone for teen stars after them. It sucks they don't get the same acclaim & recognition from publications as their white peers. Thank you for giving Monica her credit, she's so talented and an absolute icon!
Love Monica! Love your voice also! Saying I can't do the run like her...as you're doing the exact run lol whew! God's blessings shower down on you, your family, and your brand continually in abundance 💜☦🕊🥰💖
I LOVE my 90's era singers!!!! Brandy and Monica and my BOO Usher!!! I am not a singer nor a vocal coach. But this was the nicest analysis of Monica's voice I have ever heard. I hear a lot of people give her a hard time about her singing. Seems like having great background singers is a must....
Backup got some stank on that "kick down your doors and smack your chick." Ouch. Anybody notice how Monica is wearing those throwback boy is mine background colors?
I love your channel thank u so much for your professionalism. Please do Lauryn Hill even if it’s just joyful joyful from sister act… you know that whole miseducation is a whole class In itself!!!
Can you do a video on Rihanna's voice? She's one of my favorites and I would love to hear your thoughts on some of her vocals. This was an amazing watch as always. I love how you analyze vocal performances, one of my favorite channels on UA-cam.
Monica is amazing. May I suggest another artist who I feel this tribe might enjoy? Please breakdown the Officially Missing You cover by Joseph Solomon. Very masterfully done.
You probably don't need any suggestions but if you ever need one, can I suggest that you throw it back to Heatwave's live version of Always and Forever? They were crooning and swooning on that! :)
We love your work hun, never gave a recommendation before but here goes FKA Twigs Cellophane, any performance either Tiny Desk or her Valentino show. The Goddess Sade’ too if I’m being greedy.
Hi Jaron, I just love your Chanel. Would you please consider voice analyzing a young artist named DVSN. The song is called The Line. This young mans vocals are unbelievable!!!!! And also a song by HER called could have been ft a young man named Tone Slith hopefully I spelled his name correctly another young man who's voice is out of this world! Thank you for your time and gift many blessings to you🙏🏽
@@k.alvarado6237 11 year old Monica recorded Miss Thang it's easily her BEST work. That album is so mfn fire!!! Idk how you...peak at 11/12. That's wild. And yes I'm sleep too. Tried to watch her tiny desk....n I was sleep there too.
Hey love you’re stuff. I know you analyzed gene noble before but you have to take a look at his version of Sade’s no ordinary love. It’s amazing and if you haven’t you should check it out!!!
Monica has a unique approach to her voice. She doesn't need to be perfect. Shes not super young anymore. She changed. She probably has one. We don't know if she don't
@@scootjones5540 NO one "intentionally" sings off key! It's ok to be a fan but facts are facts she struggles with intonation issues and it reveals itself through many of her live performances. This is NOT intentional it's due to technique and her approach. She uses glottal attacks often and doesn't sing always on the breath.
Well, how much growing do you need to do vocally when you're already singing like a full grown adult at the age of 12? If anything she dumbed her vocals down for the sake of pop stardom during her 'The Boy is Mine' era, but every era before and after that has been nothing short of vocal beasting. Monica delivers songs HER WAY; always has, always will. I'm not sure what "growth" would sound like for you, but I think she's grown up just fine; both vocally and otherwise.
@@pure1769 As a singer grows so does the their voice. As I stated before Monica can sing but she haven't grown vocally. She doesn't know how to use her voice to its full potential which is sad. She rarely switches up when singing her songs or over do it.
@@moeluv1277 I respectfully disagree with you. Monica is a stellar vocalist. Perhaps she's just not your kind of vocalist. I only hope you have not arrived at your opinion without having familiarized yourself with her entire catalog. If you're basing this assessment off a performance or two (or if your basing it off of Brandy bias) you really do yourself a disservice.
@@pure1769 You can't be serious. I have purchased Monica's music for years. Up until some years ago, I haven't been feeling her songs. Back in the day I always said Monica sounds better than brandy. As brandy has gotten older she sounds better & knows how to use her vocals much better. I'm very critical of how I view singers. Monica can sing no doubt about it. She just haven't grown vocally.

Me too I’m 46
That we did!
43 here…We absolutely had some of the best music. Go back & pull the charts from the 80’s & 90’s. The music was impeccable, historical & eclectic.
Yes we did 1992 baby right here
I miss the 90’s
A little piece of Monica trivia…Monica recorded most of the songs on Ms Thang (debut album) when she was between 12-14 years old. 😀😯
You MUST react to her Tiny Desk version of this song. It's an entirely revamped acoustic version, and it sounds delectable.
It's terrible
It was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
That neo-soul take was EVERYTHING!
It sounded very engineered! Horrible! She doesn’t need auto tune
I was waiting for him to give props to the background singers. They are slaying.
Thanks for acknowledging the background singers. They were on point! 🙌🏾♥️
Yessss, the background singers & band were SUPER on point! 🗣
Absolutely
Her BGVS AND BAND!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
That’s all I’m gone say
😩😩
Make background vocals a thing again!!!! 🙌🏾
One thing about Monica, she’s going to have some fire background singers
JARON LEGRAIR: The VOCAL CHAMELEON
We want to hear more of your voice. You sang the house down so humbly.
Right he teasing us 😣
Yes, he teases us real bad.
You have to check out Monica's Tiny Little Desk concert. She sang an entirely new version of So GONE. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Check it out!
She sang the vocals for Ms. Thang at age 12 🤯
I was just about to comment and say she started recording it early and released it at 14! She was amazing and sound so mature so early on!
The most underrated vocalist of our time! Thank you for showcasing her gifts, I grew up on Monica's sound.
Of course! I always wanted to do a Monica video.
No! 🤣
"Most underrated"?!?! How so?
She’s def not underrated. Tamia is underrated. Glennis Grace is underrated. Deborah Cox is underrated. Heather Headley is underrated. I could continue. Think you get my drift. Monica is a superstar.
@@Lyfeastrey TAMIA IS THAT GIRL
She's one of the best singers to do it and she is an Icon
Great analysis!
I love Usher, Brandy, Aaliyah, & Monica. They've had such a huge impact on music and set the tone for teen stars after them.
It sucks they don't get the same acclaim & recognition from publications as their white peers. Thank you for giving Monica her credit, she's so talented and an absolute icon!
Monica is a real singer. She had one of the best voices of our generation. She always delivers live

I would love to hear your interpretation of Rahsaan Patterson's voice.

I love your take on vocalists and singers.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 for the performance and analysis
Backup got some stank on that "kick down your doors and smack your chick." Ouch. Anybody notice how Monica is wearing those throwback boy is mine background colors?
I'd love to see your review of Jill Scott's 2001 performance of He Loves Me on Oprah. It's so good!
He did. idk if its on Oprah just he review that song
Love your break down of her performance. The way you go into each part of the song is so intricate and I enjoy your commentary so much 👏🏾
Love me some MONICA
I love Monica's tone.
You see how you explained the vocal ranges/vocal part thing 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 absolutely phenomenal
Can you analyze Tamia's voice, please?
Bro! 100 about voices fitting different; more than one lane! Keep working! God bless
LOVE Monica! I’d love it if you analyzed some of Michael Jackson’s raw studio vocals.
Beautiful analysis. I love the fact you don’t box anyone in when it comes to defining vocals.
I love your channel thank u so much for your professionalism. Please do Lauryn Hill even if it’s just joyful joyful from sister act… you know that whole miseducation is a whole class In itself!!!
You are definitely a blessed instructor- where were you when I was trying to SANG
You are amazing! I owe you. 😅💙🕊️
Amazing analysis of Monica.
I would love to see you analyze eric benet, tamia, faith, luther, some 90s artist… please? Lol

In the beginning you said she singing her runs with using her jaw. I tried it that way and why my jaw pop lol
Adele - Hello JOE Thomas cover. Would love to you hear your breakdown. Really enjoy what you have going on here.
Yesssssss love
Alto to mezzo soprano that’s Monica because certain songs she get up there
I’ll say it.
Monica needs a vocal coach.
She does
Yep. Her voice is.....very regular. She can sing yes but it's not giving. 🤷🏾♀️
The band outshines her.
14 year old Monica had better placements and a way more flexible voice. She did way more complex things vocally.
Now… I’m sleep.

Name a singer who doesn’t need a vocal coach. She has outlasted so many others because she’s good at what she does.
Could you do Monica’s tiny desk performance
Please Do Monica Tiny Desk of her new song FRIENDS!!!
Please do mary j blige
I second this request. Her live performance for Ray Charles tribute was🔥
DO MAHALIA JACKSON PLEASE!!
Hey love you’re stuff. I know you analyzed gene noble before but you have to take a look at his version of Sade’s no ordinary love. It’s amazing and if you haven’t you should check it out!!!
Ms. Thang she was 13/14, she was 16/18 on The Boy is Mine
PREACH
Look up "George Lovett" singing on taco tuesday...
React to her Tiny Desk please!
No one wants to say it but Monica needs coaching too! She has intonation issues but I will say she has a nostalgic sound
I disagree. She does not have intonation issues. In fact she is very intentional in her delivery
