For those of you in Canada who bitched about not seeing Monica's reality show on the Peachtree channel, well, the new one hits BET tonite. Rodney Ho, good pal of mine writes: In the fast-moving world of R&B, three years feels like 20 – kind of like dog years. Monica, the Atlanta-based singer whose star shined brightest in the late 1990s, has stayed under the radar the past four years raising her two kids. So what better way to get back on the scene than a reality show? “Monica: Still Standing” debuts tonight on BET at 10 p.m. after the BET Hip Hop Awards
“I think it gives people an in-depth look how hard it is to stay relevant in the music business and balancing family life,” she said in a phone interview last week. “A lot of people aren’t comfortable baring their souls. I am. I’m a work in progress. I’m going through things every day just like everybody else.”’ Monica has ridden a roller coaster of a life, packed with highs and lows. Highs include breaking it big with a quintuple platinum debut album at the age of 15 and taking home a Grammy three years later. Lots more at the AJC website. Read about her fiance, her cousin Ludacris and more.
My planned interview with Monica is coming soon Canada so stay put. This is one of those other good girls out of ATL.
