    Monica Sings Whitney Houston’s ‘You Give Good Love’

    Follow me on Facebook, Twitter.

    MonicaR&B singer Monica paid tribute to Whitney Houston Tuesday night during her set on Hot 93.7's Valentine's Day Love And Laughter concert in Hartford, Conn.

    Wearing a Houston t-shirt, gold lamé jacket and headband, Monica said she wanted to quiz the audience on its knowledge of Houston's history before launching into an a cappella version of the late singer's 1985 song "You Give Good Love."

    Monica's cover felt effortless as she blasted through the runs, hit all the notes, and added additional raw emotion that likely stems from her close, 15-plus year friendship with Houston. After paying homage, Monica grabbed a towel from the DJ's table and wiped her eyes.

    Last week, while on the set of the video shoot for her new duet with Brandy, "It All Belongs To Me," Monica joked about Houston's sense of humor.

    "I don't know if people really understood the fact that she was hilarious," Monica told E! "The other day, she came in and heard mine and Bran's song and she walks up to me and she goes, 'You killing that run at the end.' You know she just kept saying it, and like, 'You know I know you stole it from me, right?'"

      Once again we have lost a very talented and beautiful person. I have always loved Whitney's voice and her wonderful performances. I wish I had the opportunity to have met her, and gotten to know her. She will be missed. I pray for the Father to grant peace for the family. May God bless them and keep them, and may he enjoy Whitney in his choir.

        Well, Monica is married- if she's expecting a daughter, she and her husband will name her after Whitney.

      RIP Whitney...you day is done and now you will join the celestial choir in heaven with the others that have gone on before you. I wish your family peace during their time of bereavement over the loss of your presence, but know that they should understand that you are now in the Father's hand and he will guide and protect you every more.

      whitney did seem to have a decent sense of humor from watching her on the show with bobby brown. they were very funny together when they weren't stoned out of their minds which often they seemed to be during the tapings. often, i remember that she appeared to be loaded waaay more often than bobby did

      i really enjoyed that show with them 'being bobby brown' and wished it had comeback for a second season....there was a part in one episode where bobby had me cracking up talking about his feet looked too small for his body after he had gained weight. also, another time they were out to dinner and whitney needed to go to the bathroom really bad "....im about to drop it on the one!" she kept telling bobby

      of course, in a different episode, bobby was out doing his promotion thing or performing somewhere and was sitting having dinner with another guy and two girls that werent whitney...he looked to be getting pretty cozy and was ready to leave with them when whitney called and spoiled his potential fun. you could see his face drop like a little kid...

      i dont know what any of this means, just rambling....r.i.p whitney

      The headline reads "Monica Sings Whitney Houston’s ‘You Give Good Love To Me’. The actual title is just "You Give Good Love"

      Read it, Learn it, Live it!
