R&B songstress Brandy recently held a private live session for her fans in Philadelphia. The 28 year old, whose latest effort ‘Human’ hits stores December 9th, performed acapella renditions of earlier hits such as ‘Almost Doesn’t Count’ and ‘I Wanna Be Down’ as well as giving a live showing of current single ‘Right Here (Departed)’.
Watching this really does remind me as to why Ms. Norwood continues to be held in such high regard by many. Nearly 15 years in the game and getting better. A rarity. Here’s hoping ‘Human’ does major things for her.
What do you think of the performance?

Yep…this just really makes me get to this…her album will be the best of this fall…Beyoncé released a "too over the top" album…and Circus is an amazing pop album…though for those who really love r&b & soul…Brandy is the one…an album full of mid-tempos & ballads…she prob won't sell as many as Beyoncé or Britney but she should get some attention…oh n btw Toni's comin strong too…

Brandy is Back!!!! I must agree, she may not be Beyonce or Britney, nevertheless, she has an artistry ALL HER OWN. I think we tend to forget just how much her signature sound (with Darkchild) has truly made it's mark on r&b & soul music. Her art in vocal production and writing is truly amazing. I'm so glad that she is back on the scene. Not only is she a beast in the studio, but with this comeback, she is proving she can give a great, vocally sound performance as well!! Can't wait for the release!!

My best friend doesn't understand why I stan for brandy…she don't have to. When I watched this performance I was smiling the whole time – that girl emits a genuine quality. She doesn't come off as a gimmick or fake. Her live vocal performances have improved so much. Remember recently when she cried on 106 & park? THAT is why her fans like her. That's our girl. Can't wait for her album!!

I don’t understand why everyone feels the need to compare a female artist to Beyonce. Beyonce is a powerhouse of her own and Brandy has her own style. You do not have to down Beyonce in order to enjoy another female artist. The Beyonce bashing is getting tired and old. Let the sistah BE!!!

Who cares about Beyonce (I love her) but I stan for Brandy much harder! This is why I love Brandy because she never has to over do it, everything she did on that stage came out effortlesly! She is one of the best singers of this generation. I love her so much! It is great to see her out doing her thing. I cannot wait for the album. Be sure to download a deluxe copy on ITUNES to get the extra songs, I know I did! Any by the way Sam she is 29
