REALITY OR FAKE....MONICA'S NEW SHOW:THE SINGLE

(STEAL-MONICA...BACKSTAGE @ BIRTHDAY BASH)

LAST NIGHT WE ALL SAW THE SINGLE...MONICA'S REALITY SHOW,BUT WAS IT REAL OR FAKE. I WAS BACKSTAGE @ THE BIRTHDAY BASH AND I DIDNT SEE ANY KIND OF FUSS GOING ON ABOUT HER AND ROCKO. THEY WERE ALL SMILES. HERES WHAT SOHH POSTED ABOUT THE SHOW>


Monica’s new reality show aired on Peachtree TV last night and y’all already know I got some ish to say about it. I’m gonna say what all y’all thinking SOHH lets get into it.

Monica: The Single was at first advertised as a coming of age reality show giving the fans an insight into the life of the some what reclusive soul singer as she goes through the motions of creating a new album while also juggling motherhood and dating a rapper. But after watching the reality show I feel bamboozled! First off this ain’t Monica’s television show this project belongs to B.Cox.

There I was perched in front of the television about to meet the chief [read between the lines] when I suddenly realized exactly what I was watching. And while I admit that I was disappointed that we won’t be able to get that birds eyes view of Monica and Rocko’s life for a few weeks there were other issues that I had about the show that must be expressed

Gyant’s Disappointments:

The script: Contrary to popular belief reality television isn’t as real as producers would like you to believe. There are a lot of scripted incidences that take place and that was extremely evident while watching the show.

From the rolling of B.Cox eyes as Monica chastised him demanding that he create her a great song. To the urgent need to get Rocko his jewelry for his HOT 107.9 Bash performance. Now y’all already know that I was there that night and I remember running into Monica. I even got a picture with her and I do not recall a Monica/Rocko uproar developing backstage at all.

The balleralert.com plug: I mean hell why couldn’t y’all shout out SOHH.com, Adonis? Did y'all know that Kenny Burns sister runs Balleralert? Is that a good look, Kenny?

Monica’s reckless driving skills: Did anyone realize that Monica was caught on camera driving her SUV trying to text on her Sidekick while Lil Rock sat in the background? Call me an ass, but I hate to see people on their phones while they operate motor vehicles ESPECIALLY while their children look on.

And I know y’all saw one of music’s most beautiful voices drive up on the sidewalk trying to get to Phillps Arena. That was not a good look. Y’all know I’m telling the truth.

All in all the show was interesting. I really wish that we would’ve had the chance to really try and get a better feel for who Monica “the woman” is. But look, at the end of the day Monica seems to be in much happier place and if she likes it then I love it.

Maybe we’ll get the chance to see her and Rocko show that hood love on a BET reality show one day.

Sidebar, how dope does that song sound? That’s the Monica I’ve been waiting for.
