Well for today's topic I will be talking about the Season Premiere of singer Monica's new show Still Standing.
The show which aired on BET tonight is a look into Monica's personal life as well as a behind the scenes look at the formation of her 5th studio album.
The show is a continuation of a special series that Monica did called the Single that was aired on Atlanta's Peachtree network.
I have to say that I am a very big fan of Monica's. I had her first album Miss Thang and was in love with her ever since. From her interviews she seems to be very real, down to earth and just a down home southern girl.
She is the mother of two young children Rodney the III, 4 and Romello 1. She is also currently engaged to Rodney "Rocko" Hill Jr.
Overall I think that the season premiere was good, I thought it just briefly touched on the work she is doing on her new album and her family life but it kept you long enough to see what the next episode will give the viewers. She was very candid about the suicide of her ex. Of which she witnessed, and made a song about called that was featured on her After the Storm album called I Wrote This Song.
She was also involved with No Limit rapper (and cousin of Master P) C-Murder who is now incarcerated for murder.
Monica has been through alot and has withstood the industry and personal tragedy so I am interested to see just how much this show will reveal about her everyday life.
I am rooting for her 5th album, she has said many times that she felt that the Makings Of Me and the marketing behind it were not true to her as an artist, so she is even more adamant to do it right this time.
Favorite Scene- "When her fiancee Rocko gave her encouragement about her strength as a singer and told her he was her #1 Fan. Very touching moment
So for those that havent seen the show it airs from now on every Tuesday night 9:00 Central and 10:00 Eastern.
Here is the title track from her new album as well as the opening song for the show
Still Standing (full version) - Monica
