The Quick Dig: I Wanna Be A Star > Monica Olivera

Yesterday I said within sixty minutes I could find someone equally or more talented than the singer Jermaine Dupri is freakin’ out over. It took about 3 minutes. Checked my email this morning and saw a YouTube view request from Monica Olivera. This girl has a look and voice that insanely, is not attached to a record label.

You know how we all have a non-biological twin walking around on this planet? Monica looks a helluva lot like Alicia Keys. Or maybe she’s just light-skinded! *jokes*

Looks aren’t a question. How about Monica’s skills?

This is a verse from..

Fergie “Clumsy”

 

Or how about..

Bob Marley “Turn Your Lights Down Low”

 

I’d take you to Lauryn Hill’s “Ex-Factor”.. but I’d rather post this.

Whitney Houston “I Will Always Love You”

 

She submitted the “I Will Always Love You” cover to Chris Stokes’ I Wanna Be A Star contest. Chris Stokes manages B2K, Omarion, and Marques Houston. How the contestants handle Whitney Houston’s classic will determine who makes it to Los Angeles for the next step at a chance to win one of five record contracts. Monica is on his maybe list.

I think she should have sung it exactly the way Whitney did. You can’t play with it. People expect to hear certain notes and anything else will get a frown.. that’s not how it goes.

Whether she’s a finalist or not >> Remember the name Monica Olivera. You will hear it again.

This girl is sooooooo… talented ! I would love to buy her music. WHY IS SHE NOT SIGNED BY A MAJOR RECORD LABEL ? She is better than most of the stuff on the radio right now. If someone got her into the studio, she’d be a star in the music buisness. SHES’ ALSO VERY BEAUTIFUL, A COMPLETE PACKAGE. I look forward to seeing her signed and marketed extremely soon. I can’t wait.

I agree with rp49er, this girl should be walking the red carpet, performing at the VH1 awards, ect. SHES’ GOT IT !!!! Her voice is extremely soulful and she is very fine ! She should be up there with Beyonce and Alicia, shes’ that good !
