After a brief rest on the bench, our Best You Never Heard feature returns this week with little known gems by Beyonce, Brandy, Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey.
———————————-
Beyonce – Forever to Bleed
For all Beyonce‘s success, critiques pertaining to the type of music she releases remain steadfast. Indeed, for as revered as the likes of ‘Check On It’, ‘Get Me Bodied’, and ‘Video Phone’ may be in the here and now, such songs beg the question of whether they can or should be performed years from now. For many, the answer is an emphatic ‘No’. Hence, arising, are valid questions surrounding whether Beyonce is truly putting her best foot forward creatively.
While yours truly continues to negotiate my own stance on the matter, I argue ‘Forever to Bleed’ to be a great step in the right direction for the superstar. Recorded in 2008 during the ‘I Am…Sasha Fierce’ sessions, the haunting ballad unfortunately never made the final cut. However, with its rich lyrical content and compellingly raw delivery, the song boasts a sincerity and authenticity too often lacking from the singer’s otherwise solid back-catalogue of hits. More of this please, Ms. Knowles. More of this. {SAM}
LISTEN:
———————————-
Brandy – A Capella (Something’s Missing)
Despite her claims to the contrary, Brandy’s ‘Human’ did include some of her best work. This is exemplified by the spine-tingling vocal performance of ‘A Capella (Something’s Missing)’.
Produced by Soundz, the track features the full extent of Brandy’s astounding contralto range as she descends to unbelievable lows, even outperforming the capabilities of the added bass guitar.
There is no question that Brandy can execute some of the most fluid and well-timed vocal runs in the game but it is with this song that her abilities can be classed in the league of legendary singers such as the great Chaka Khan. {TRENT}
LISTEN:
———————————-
Whitney Houston – For The Lovers
Lifted from Whitney Houston‘s Platinum selling comeback ‘I Look To You’ (2009), ‘For The Lovers’ serves as one of the LP’s strongest offerings. Primarily a home-run due to to its effortless encapsulation of the contemporary and the traditional, the Danja produced banger sits right in the thick of what’s hot in 2010, while also giving a retrospective nod to Houston’s 80’s hits such as ‘I Wanna Dance With Somebody’. What’s more, the track is one of the rare instances on an otherwise (good, yet) restrained album where we’re reminded of that ‘voice’ we grew to know, love, and for some, emulate. Indeed, present during the latter half are the trademark vocal runs, trinklets and isms which make a Whitney Houston track a…Whitney Houston track.
Why this was overlooked as a single is beyond me, as yours truly believes it posses an instant likability lacking from the grower that was ‘I Look To You’s lead rekease ‘Million Dollar Bill’. Still, single treatment or otherwise, the song goes hard! {SAM}
LISTEN:
———————————-
Mariah Carey– Slipping Away
Mariah Carey has long been regarded as one of the industry’s best singer/songwriters and there is no better example of her musical prowess than ‘Slipping Away’.
Released as a B-Side to her enormously successful ‘Always Be My Baby’ from her diamond-certified ‘Daydream’ album, the record features the songbird combining the various colours of her incredible vocal range with the sound of classic 90’s R&B.
Lyrically impressive and melodically astute, this track is one of the many gems in Carey’s catalogue that display her true skill as an artist. Her voice has been glorified but her genius is gravely underrated. {TRENT}

YESSSS for the all the real singers!!!!
Trent won this one
Sorry i voted for Sam simply cuz i think Mariah Carey can’t sing for all the money in the world…
But i love Brandy !!
BRANDYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY ♥ BEYONCE ♥ WHITNEY ♥ I LOVE EM BUT I GOTTA GIVE IT TO MY ALL TIME SINGER BRANDY ♥♥
YESSSS Slipping Away is my jam! Trent knows.
omg i love forever to bleed one of her best unreleased songs along with you are my roc i would die if she made an album in that vein
You both have great picks. Forever to Bleed, although a nice song, didn’t strike me too hard. I actually thought it leaked from the B’Day sessions, but *shrugs*. If I have to pick one I’d probably pick Trent. A Capella is classic and hands down one of the BEST songs Brandy has released in her career.
If Slipping Away was on Daydream then whyyy is her Butterfly era picture up? Just wondering <3 But I love Slipping Away, from one of her classic albums. For the Lovers was such a cute song and definitely a standout track, but the album as a whole was stale, which is why it never caught on.
Loves all four tracks but Trent def wins. Sorry Sam lol
“Slipping Away”!!! It’s a shame that song was never released (or maybe it’s better as a hidden gem). Amazing.
Obviously Mariah – Slipping Away slays these songs. What a jam.
“FOREVER TO BLEED” not having made the cut is CRIMINAL!!!
One of B’s best songs…
Forever to bleed is so emotional. My favorite on this list. Love all the divas on the list.
Beyonce needs more songs like Me, Myself and I and like Crazy in Love as far as production is concerned. She works well with a live band and I think she sounds her best when she uses more of her lower register rather than just belt the whole song.
Brandy needs to be successful again, I loved the Afrodisiac album and her vocals are so unique.
Whitney’s comeback was underwhelming. Also, she should’ve done what Britney did with Blackout and not done any promotion, it ruined the whole thing for me.
Slipping Away is what real R’n’B should sound like. Mariah needs to go back to this sound on the next album.
@MichelleWFan you can’t be serious, after she influenced both Michelle and Brandy. Probably didn’t even listen to the song.
Loovee Forever to Bleed!
Mariah “Slipping Away” is f****** incredible song!!!
LOVE HER TO DEATH..
THIS IS MY JAM TOO
Lol for Beryonce you kinda … Forgot? To mention like halo, If I were a boy, listen or whatever. That was the point of the album. Give all the regular hits, whilst sneaking in some amazing pop ballads.
Beyonce – sh*t
Whitney – super
Brandy & Mariah – excellent, perfect …amazing
YAS! I love Forever to Bleed and I love A capella.
I like ‘Forever to Bleed’ Because it is the woman admitting to being wrong and not the man. Usually women sing about getting there heart broke or leaving a no good for nothing man. This song is diiferent in that sense because the woman is taking the blame and realizing that she was wrong.
And OMG For The Lovers is my ish. I listen that everyday on my ipod.
Trent has much better taste in music.
To me, Sam is kinda stale in middle of the road when it comes to music. Trent has a different likability. 🙂
And I love how this features four women with REAL TALENT not any of that other ish.
Glad to see there are some people out there who know good music. Brandy’s ‘A Capella’ is amazing! Her voice is one of a kind! I’m just gone need her to get off reality shows and hurry up with that new album.
Trent wins this one!
Beyonce voice is generic as hell. And now that we know she does nothing on the creative proccess of her albums…girl bye. Specially when you have other 3 very special voices. Brandy is really unique. But of course Mariah and Whitney are superior to any b****** that have come after them (and it´s been 20 years…).
The vocal trinity are my 3 favorite artists and never could chose one of them, the 3 were equaly amazing to me. But I have to admit as the years pass by, I´m having more and more admiration for Mariah, she is an absolutely great artist. Her voice is great enough to be included in the vocal trinity but in addition she is the most succesful songwriter and producer of the last 20 years!!! Hell the woman is a sanger, a diva and a musician. I can´t think of anyone else right now
Im So Sick of Trent and his Bias for Mariah…We must remember Trent is stuck on an Island and has nothing but time to shade an artist like Beyonce based on his dislike of her fans. yes Mariah can sing.. but Mariah is NO musical genius. Brandy is a great singer but lacks confidence to become a superior artist. This entire site is becoming one large internet shade fest and Sam deserves better.. Hey Sam.. Hire new help. Trent is tarnishing your credibility.
Beyonce sounds like every other ghetto black b**** who think they can sing. BYE.
She has no Range
She has like a 2 octaves.
Her voice is annoying.
Yaaassss! ‘Forever to Bleed’ is my absolute favorite song from Bey PERIOD! Definitely one of the best songs she has ever recorded! I cannot believe this didn’t make the cut on ‘I Am…Sasha Fierce’! SMH! I can think of quite of few songs on that album that could have been left off and replaced by this! SMH! I have to question Bey’s sanity when this decision was made! Still luv her though!
I’ve actullay heard all these songs before! Acapella by Brandy is beautiful! Her voice is so smooth and pure. She is truly one of the best female r&b singers in the Game. It is a shame she doesn’t get the credit she deserves. I really hope she has been working her ass off in the studio and delivers a solid album. I will support it either way, but I really hope it is an amazing album.
I heard that Whitney Houston track awhile ago, but I didn’t really think there was anything special about it. *shrugs*
I love that this ‘The Best You Never Heard’ features all REAL singers! I voted for Sam though cause he featured my favorite song by my girl Bey!
not a beyonce fan, but this is one of my favorite songs she’s ever done besides “Me Myself and I” and “Yes” .. I can count songs that I like by her on one hand. “Forever To Bleed” is just epic, no lies.
Brandy – what can I say. I’m in love with her talent and I’m hard pressed to find a song by her that I DON’T like.
Beyonce sounds like every other ghetto black b**** who think they can sing. BYE.
She has no Range
She has like a 2 octaves.
Her voice is annoying.
__________________________________________________________
Everything you said was FALSE:
Beyonce actually has a wider range than most singers. Bb2-E6 to be exact.
Beyonce is 3.5 Octave
And her Voice being annoying is a fact of opinion.
I can tell that you are a pathetic fat pressed b**** by looking at your screen name.
Straight love Bee’s A Capella (something is missing) the song shows how truly talented Bran is, who sings a song using only their voice and a guitar riff as an instrument and the song is flawless? I love Brandy so much the same way that she loves Whitney.
BEYONCE LACKS VOCAL TALENT & VOCALS COMPARED TO THE LIKES OF BRANDY WHITNEY & MARIAH….YALL SHOULDVE JUST LEFT THAT DUSTY ASS TROLL OFF THE PHOTO
*QUESTION: WHY EVERYBODY LOOKS BEAUTIFUL IN THEIR PHOTOS EXCEPT FOR BEYONCE
MAKE-UP IZ YOUR BEST FRIEND LIL MAMA…CAUSE THIS S*** HERE AINT CUTTIN IT @ ALL!!! UGH
H** LOOK LIKE SHE FLUSHED HER HEAD DOWN A DAMN TOILET
DUCK LOOKIN H**
ANOTHER THING BEYAWNCE MAJORLY LACKS IN HER MUSIC “EMOTION” THE B**** SOUNDS LIKE A F***** ROBOT…SHE SHOULDNT HAVE EVEN BEEN MENTIONED IN THIS POST CONCERNING “THE BEST VOCALISTS IN THE GAME” CAUSE SHE AINT ONE…
@TC;D
Your opinion doesn’t matter because you HATE Beyonce with a Passion so you are bound to be biased against her.
Sit Down.
Brandy’s voice is just on another level…theres nothing like it.
F*** BEYONCE I DON’T LIKE THAT B**** AND I DON’T LIKE HER UGLY ASS FANS.
I HOPE THAT B**** FLOPS HARD NEXT TIME AROUND SO I CAN LAUGH. SHE MAKES ME GAG. I CAN SMELL HER BREATHE FROM BEHIND THE TELEVISION SCREEN AND IT IS HORENDOUS. THAT B**** WEAVE MAKES ME SICK. AND HER VOICE IS SO DAMN UGLY.
F*** BEYONCE I CAN’T WAIT TO THE DAY THAT B**** FAILS AND HAS A NERVOUS BREAK DOWN. FAKE ASS H**.
F*** A BEYONCE AND WHAT.
WHO THE F*** GONE CHECK ME.
@BEyonce SUcks ass
LMFAO
It’s funny that she has that much power over you.
You don’t like Beyonce?
Well, let me tell you something about your “like”.
Your “like” of Beyonce is of minimal relevance to anything right now. If your “like” had any kind of influence on the music world then your favorite artist wouldn’t be flopping, or pushed back, or opening for Britney Spears, or broken up by Diddy, or sucking Diddy, or grilling Whoppers at Burger King with Keri Hilson and Teairra Mari.
And we wouldn’t even be having this conversation.
And if you would spend less time trolling Beyonce YouTube videos, or posted up on Beyonce post worrying about what Sasha Fierce is doing and spending more time trying to recruit people to help support these failing artists then we wouldn’t have to go through this.
NOW BACK TO THE LOVELY BRANDY 😀
There is no question that Brandy can execute some of the most fluid and well-timed vocal runs in the game but it is with this song that her abilities can be classed in the league of legendary singers such as the great Chaka Khan. {TRENT}
====================================
SPEAK IT TRENT!!! BRANS VOCALS ARE NOT TO BE PLAYED WITH!!!! I WISH HER & MARIAH WOULD DO A SONG TOGETHER….WONDER HOW IT WOULD SOUND…
MANY UP & COMING ARTISTS “ATTEMPT” TO MIMMICK BRANDY’S VOCALS SUCH AS:
*DAWN RICHARD (I PUT DAWN 1ST BECAUSE SHES A BEAST-VOCALIST & CLOSE FRIENDS WITH BRAN.) YOU CAN TELL SHES A HUGE FAN OF BRANDY FROM HEARING HER MUSIC
*JAZMINE SULLIVAN (I DONT SEE THE COMPARISONS BUT ALOT OF PEOPLE HAVE SAID THAT JAZMINE OCCASSIONALLY GLANCES AT “THE VOCAL BIBLE” HANDBOOK…I DON’T SEE THE RESEMBLANCE…I GUESS A LITTLE IN HER RUNS..)
*RICH GIRL (THEIR JUST HORRIBLE THESE H*** NEED TO HANG IT UP FLAT-SCREEN! THEY TRIED TO REMAKE A BRANDY SONG & FAILED HORRIBLY…ALL THEY DID WAS COPIED EVERY VOCAL RUN & ADD LIB BRANDY DID ORIGINALLY ON THE SONG…I CANT STAND SWAGGAJACKERS.
*NIVEA EVEN STOLE A BRANDY SONG WITH HER WACK SINGIN ASS SHE WAS UTTER GARBAGE! I WAS FLOORED THAT SHE THOUGHT SHE COULD HANDLE THAT TRACK…I REMEMBER CLOWNING THAT FAT H** ON TWITTER WHEN I HEARD IT.
*BRANS WRITTEN FOR & VOCALLY HELPED ALOT OF ARTISTS….(JENNIFER LOPEZ, RIHANNA,TONI BRAXTON, THE LIST IZ LONG FOR HER PEN GAME)
& LAST BUT NOT LEAST MARY MARY HAVE EVEN SAID OUT HER OWN MOUTH WHEN SHE WAS AUDITIONING PEOPLE FOR HER SHOW..THAT SHE COULD TELL ALOT OF PEOPLE STUDIED BRANDYS VOCALS….
SO MANY COPYCATS SO LITTLE TIME…ALL I CAN SAY IS: YOU H*** CAN HATE ALL YOU WANT BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY BRANDY NORWOOD IS A FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH IN THIS INDUSTRY…IM SURE YOUR FAVE LOOKS UP TO BRANDY OR HAS STUDIED HER MUSIC FOR YOU YOUNG KIDS WHO LOOK UP TO ANY ARTIST WHOSE IN THE GAME ESPECIALLY IF ITS CONCERNED WITH R&B OR POP.
Brandy: Hello.
Tina Knowles: Good evening Brandy, sorry to disturb you at work and I know your Boost pay-as-you-go minute situation isn’t really jumping off this month so I’m going to keep this brief. I was going through my internet records and I have found that your stans are one of the leading Beyonce haters on the internet, 2nd only behind Britney and Rihanna stans.
Brandy: That’s terrible.
Tina Knowles: Yea, you our studies have found that the less releavant an artist is the more their stans hate on Beyonce. The exception to this is Rihanna, because although she is very relevant at the moment her stans still contribute a substantial amount of Beyonce hate to the internet, but we’ll see how relevant she is with a 50 year old woman’s foot attached to her, cause when I see that trick I’m I’m breaking my Dereon zebra-skin stiletto heels off in her ass, right at the ankle.
Brandy: Well, Tina I have no control over what my stans say or do, and although Beyonce is better than me at everything and makes it hard for all female entertainers and is part of the reason why I’m working in a food court, she is not the only reason why our careers have fallen off. Perhaps my stans and the stans of other less successful artists should be flooding record execs inboxes and voicemails instead of Beyonce message boards and YouTube videos because at the end of the day it’s the record excecs who make the decision to stop promoting our albums or stop our albums from coming out at all. Yes Beyonce is better than all of us at everything, but sometimes our record labels shut us down before we even have a fair chance to compete with her.
Tina Knowles: You know what… you’re right. You’re alright with me Brandy, I don’t care what Kelly says about you behind your back.
Brandy: Wait, what did she…
Tina Knowles: Nevermind. Would you like to come to Beyonce’s “I’m The S***” Party?
Brandy: Sure, do you need me to bring anything.
Tina Knowles: Just some of them Chilli’s baby back ribs, some ice, and your valet jacket in case we need you to park cars
Brandy: You mean I get to hang out with Beyonce?
Tina Knowles: Sure.
Brandy: Oh BOY! Do you think she’ll let me be in her background singer for the next tour.
Tina Knowles: Hold on, let’s call her on 3way.
(calls Beyonce)
Tina Knowles: Beyonce, can Brandy be a back up singer for your next tour?

dont like the Bey song, i can see why it didnt make the cut
dont like the mariah song either sounds like a song Mary J rejected during her share my world days
Love the brandy song one of the many highlights of that cd, truly some of her best work
wasnt a fan of for the lovers until i saw whitney rip it up on tour and instantly became one of my favs, perfect opening song, should have been a single
@TC;D
Jasmin Sullivan will Sing Trandy Whorewood under the bus.
Damn, I see Beyonce has people pressed already. I still feel that “That’s Why Your Beautiful” is Beyonce’s hidden gem and in a perfect world, it would have been a single debuting at the top of every chart. The harmonies, the vocals, the lyrics overall just a brilliant song. And her delivery is top-notch as well, of course.
Don’t really care for Whitney’s albums, I’ve always preferred her live performances. Brandy is amazing, can’t wait for her to come back. And we get it Trent, Mariah is a Demi-God.
the beyonce song is amazing..never heard it before…most deff gonna download
a capella by brandy .,.loved this since i first heard it, think she has an amazing voice as an artist =]] A+ with that one..
whitneyy…it was okkk, heard her do better..i like worth it from that albumm
mariah = sounds like all her old music used too …goood, but not overwhelmingly amazing
Why do people feel they have to tear other artists down to big up there faves? Brandy loves beyonce and they are two different singers. Brandys voice is superior but beyonce is a better entertainer. They are both great.
@The Kiddz
I feel the same way about ‘Disappear’.
Mariah’s “Slipping Away” was the best. In alot of her songs she shows her 5 octave range and sometimes out sings the choir and the loud orchestra playing in the background. But, on this record she calms it down a little and softens it up. She’s incredibly brilliant.
@BOYF
Yes, Disappear is beautiful too. It’s up there as one of my favorite Beyonce songs. Why Don’t You Love Me and Suga Mama being #1.
@ BEYONCE OWNS YOUR FAVE
B**** BOOM BYE
DELUSION IS A POWERFUL F***** DRUG U F**….
IF YOU CONSIDER THAT B*** PAD WEARIN B**** A BETTER VOCALIST THEN ANY OF THOSE LADIES ON THIS LINE-UP CLEARLY YOURE A B**** STRUNG OUT ON CRACK & I’M GOD

SINGING DOESNT COME TO MIND WHEN I HEAR THIS STANK BREATH B****** NAME!
@TC;D
I never said BEyonce was a better voalist than anyone on there (that is a matter of opinon honey). I was stating how your opinion has no bulk because you are a hating fat b****.
Now Sit the F*** down you fat c***.
I WILL SAY THE BEST I’VE HEARD FROM THAT CAMEL LOOKIN H** IS HER “DANGEROUSLY IN LOVE” ALBUM….SINCE THEN HER VOCALS HAVE TAKEN A TURN FOR THE WORST I GUESS THAT TRICK DOESNT TAKE CARE OF HER VOICE OR SHE SCREAMS TOO DAMN MUCH THESE DAYS… UGH I CANT STAND SCREAMIN ASS H***
GOD PLEASE KILL THIS B**** BEYONCE….THE WORLD WOULD BE A MUCH BETTER PLACE

This was a real cruel thing to do to me! … I love Bey, Whitney and Brandy. I’m not the biggest Mariah fan, but I love “Slippin Away”! I just selected the “can’t decide” option. My favorite song in the bunch is “For the lovers”. Still, everyone wins with me!
I love Forever to Bleed
People this is such a powerful song
I LOVE WHITNEY FOR THE LOVERS I AGREE … BEYONCE GO … BRANDY GO TOO … MRS. MARIAH I CANT TAKE HER SORRY

And like seriously who wishes death upon someone.
I find it hilarious that Beyonce has so much power over you. She has your MIND BODY AND SOUL.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA..
While Beyonce is making 87M a year you are sitting at your computer screen typing your miseries away. Maybe instead of worrying about what Beyonce is doing you should be flooding the stores and itunes to buy Brandy’s songs and albums. Calling the radio stations to request her songs.
Everything you do and say will fall apart until you do right by Beyonce.
@ERROR ERROR CERROR

Sam you got this, Whitney is those other h*** teacher.

This sounds like that s*** Brownstone and all those girl groups did back in 1995……and I mean shes basically slaying them on vocals….
This part of her voice is amazing
I love Forever to Bleed. I had that s*** on replay last year. It should have been release. Love all those ladies even crack head Whitney
Jamie Foxx, Keyshia Cole, Keri Hilson Debut In Year-End Tally
December 28, 2010
With no new complete chart this week, HITS nevertheless plows forward with its Top 15, which will once again be headed by Big Machine’s Taylor Swift, whose Speak Now should do between 275-300k to remain at #1. That will top her total of 255k last week and bring her cumulative sales to a warming 2.9 million.
Columbia’s Susan Boyle will remain at #2 with The Gift logging in another 250-275k, bringing her total to 1.9 million and counting.
The Top 5 will be rounded out by a trio of Sony Music acts, giving Rob Stringer’s team a whopping four of them (and Steve Barnett’s Columbia three), including Epic’s posthumous Michael Jackson album and a pair of Columbia releases in Glee Cast Christmas and Jackie Evancho, with all three in the 140-160k range.
The week’s top debut goes to yet another Sony act, this one from outgoing chief Barry Weiss’ RCA/Jive Label Group team in Jamie Foxx’s J/RMG release, Best Night of My Life, bowing at #6.
Geffen’s Keyshia Cole album, Calling All Hearts, notches the only other Top 10 debut at #9 sporting an estimated total of 120-140k, with Def Jam/IDJ’s Rihanna at #7 (130-150k), Young Money/Cash Money/Universal Motown’s Nicki Minaj at #8 (120-140k) and Shady/Aftermath/Interscope multiple Grammy nominee Eminem’s resurgent Recovery rounding out the Top 10 (120-140k).
Interscope’s Keri Hilson debuts just outside at #11 with 90-110k, followed by Reprise’s Josh Groban, Jive/JLG’s R. Kelly, Atlantic’s Kid Rock and Capitol/EMI’s Katy Perry completing the Top 15, all slated to sell between 90-100k apiece.
Love Mariah Carey And Whiteny Houston Both Amazing Singers.
I dont have to listen the songs to know Whitney’s is the best, because I’ve already heard Bey “Forever To Bleed” and its not the best. I dont care about Brandy and Mariah, well IDC as well.
Sam has a point! FTL should have been a single except for those insane Whitney fans bombarding Larry Jackson Arista A&R with Million Dollar Bill as lead single, SMH. I kept telling Larry this is the singles track you need to put out right away – it’s hip, old sckool yet has the new school flavor as well. Well, the idiots got there way and look what happened to Whitney’s singles, flopped right out of the Hot 100. Let’s say Larry is no longer at Arista, the ex-A&R rep at Arista. He relied waaaay too much on fans opinions and not his own and the general populace. Think he was all his way to ruining Jhud’s next album before he quit or was fired. Sucks for him.
S/O: to the four people on this list that can actually sing…im not gonna say whose better or not…im just glad they all make REAL music.
Mariah Carey FTW. I’m on Team Trent AKA Team Mariah lol But Seriosuly, I don’t like the Beyonce or Whitney songs. I like most of the songs on I look to you but not for the lovers. Brandy’s song wasn’t bad either, but slipping away is amazing.
Best song beyonce ever has done
Brandy AL the way baby!!!! aLTHO i loved Forever to bleed for beyonce.. some of her best work.. but someone who can do al that with their voice bass, clap, and sing in just one song is some nex level s*** …Brandy Baby welldone TRent
Beyonce’s song is really nice. I want to download it.
Brandy’s “A Capella” is amazing and she is so vocally talented and has inspired a generation behind her. Even Chris Brown , Dawn, Keke Palmer, and Rihanna has remarked on her influence vocally and content wise.
I don’t know why it has to be a versus. If you have 24 dollars you can go buy a Beyonce AND Brandy album. Brandy’s been in the industry longer. It’s dumb for Beyonce stans to call Brandy a has been/irrelevant when as a solo artist Beyonce has only been relevant 7 years compared to Brandy’s 16. Once Beyonce has existed 16 years in the industry and does better then Brandy on her 15th year then there can be talk. “Never say Never” Brandy ‘s 2nd album sold over 10 million worldwide. Beyonce doesn’t have that with her 2nd album. So whose had a better 2010 or 2004-2009? Definitely Beyonce but that’s a fraction of Brandy’s career.
Love the Whitney song and Mariah’s is nice too
BRANDY!!!! ACAPELLA IS ONE OF MY FAVES BY HER…IT’S HARD FOR ME TO CHOOSE A FAVE CUZ I LOVE THEM ALL…
I LOVE FOREVER TO BLEED AS WELL
I lov, love, LOVE the fiyah, passion and attitude that whitney is serving in For the lovers- no idea why this wasn’t a single.
Brandy’s song is okay, not really a fan of that Bey song and the mariah song i sok
I love them all but just because you get excited brandy is getting recognized doesn’t mean you can trash beyonce. Beyonce probably looks better than all of you fat hateful trolls with no lives to down a b**** who’s gettin her’s when you should be gettin yours. Not to mention Brandy looks up to Beyonce, Beyonce adores Brandy as well and they have recorded together. They both are probably laughing at your posts while they throw their millions in the air. #WhoMadd?
lol at the delusional brandy stans. Your girl gotta have a reality show to stay relevant while bey makes 87 million a year even on break. Beyonce has 16 grammys and has been out 13 years not 6. DC is her group. Bey first album alone slays brandy whole career. No wonder yall mad and even wishing death on her. Lmao bey got these fans of flops mad as hell. Only the queen!
I just read this, from a post above! and it made me smile with happiness
“Taylor Swift, whose Speak Now should do between 275-300k to remain at #1. That will top her total of 255k last week and bring her cumulative sales to a warming 2.9 million”.
In 9 weeks lmao hahahhahahahhahahahha shes still beating all your favs hahahhahaa
Save The Hero is Beyonce’s Best Most Underated Song.
@ Lonny, I’m not comparing but ,my understanding of what their numbers look like(Bey and Brandy’s) are much higher than what your giving the credit for. N-S-N has sold 16 million worldwide and Bey’s DIL is at 14worldwide.
@ Lonny…OOOOps, I had to read that again. Your right Bey didn’t sell that with her 2nd album! …but she has out sold Brandy with her first. # Just saying. I love them both – so I will seem as if I’m flip flopping. Still, I don’t think there’s any 2 better to do that with! …Well maybe 2 more(check out the gravatar).
@ Daniel:
Newsflash: This post is not about Taylor Swift; therefore no one cares.
Don’t turn into Nicky who must bring up Rihanna’s numbers on every post that is not about her.
Anyway, I am baffled as to why “Forever to Bleed” wasn’t included on IASF. It’s actually one of my favorite songs from her. It would’ve made an excellent single. Not too ballad-y and not too uptempo, it’s a perfect balance. I didn’t like IASF much, but I did enjoy some songs from it, which include “Scared of Lonely”, “Broken-Hearted Girl”, “Smash Into You”, “Ave Maria”, and “Hello”, just to name a few. Actually, I think like the songs individually more than I like it as an album, if that makes sense.
True Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Blue Hahaha.. well i waiting for the sales blog….. plus the lady gaga blog… 80 percent of that is more about rihanna then any other artists…
@mindset212! Sit all the way down playa. Give respect where it’s due. Just b/c u don’t like ole’ boy dont discredit MC. There’s a reason why she’s been in the game generation to generation and is currently still being sized up with the “best” in the game. She’s a sanga, a writer, and an overall amazing artist, u can’t take that from her!
@ TCD
IDK why you Haters are so bothered, cause Beyonce is UNDER-RATED anyway. She deserves to be seen in a much BIGGER Light than she is right now even as a BLK artist. So Why Hate on the UNDER-RATED just because she has sold 130+ Million Records, 65-70 Million Albums, 16 grammys, has countless platinum/Gold hits & can Sing & Dance like nobody’s business #1 on Forbes, & with a rare LONGEVITY??…
I find it hard to understand why people wouldn’t be grateful to claim such an entertainer as their own. Beyonce is a powerful Hard Working BLACK Women. Shes still #1 on Forbes with NO ALBUM out earning more than these no talent pop-stars today: Britney, Madonna, Gaga. Yall should be grateful to still be alive during the era of Obama, Oprah, & BEYONCE. Only BLKS hate on other BLKS. Its sad.
damn! If jealousy was a sin some of y’all have guaranteed spots in hell!

Save The Hero, Forever to Bleed, & Stop Sign
All great songs with DEPTH & all un-released.
Vocall & Musically- Beyonce >>> Mariah. 🙂
Is @Beyonce Owns Your Fav & @BEYONCE SUCKS ASS
really the SAME person??
How Sad ==>>
^^^ Uh, no they’re not. Beyonce.Owns.Your.Fav is the same person as Miss Chick Boom, which she has never been secretive about.
@True Blue
No, I was actually trolling earlier from boredom trying to stir up some stan wars and then I pulled a Nicky by not changing my email.
http://thatgrapejuice.net/2010/12/forbes-names-beyonce-top-earning-artist-2010/
forever to bleed is a good song but she couldn’t release that not after One Republics Apologize its virtually the same beat
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tb0tycNJc-I
I love ‘Save the Hero’. it is such a BEAUTIFUL song. The lyrics are so rich and the arrangement is just unbelievable and Beyonce sings it with so much passion and emotion. The song reminds me a lot of my mother.
@True Blue you said exactly what I have been saying. I love IASF’s songs individually but its probably my least favorite album from her. However, she gave me “Hello” which I still rock as if it came out yesterday lol
Brandy is amazing and I am really rooting for her to do well with the new album. There is enough room for Beyonce, Brandy, Fantasia, J Hud, Monica, Rihanna…all of them. We need to start tearing them down. If there is room for Gaga, KeSha, Katy Perry, Britney Spears..there’s room for all the ladies mentioned to coexist. Just my two cents.
Lastly, Beyonce has plenty of remember-able songs..yes most weren’t released but Hello, Save the Hero, Roc, Stop Sign, That’s Why You’re Beautiful, Halo, If I Were A Boy, Listen, Resentment & At Last (I know these aren’t her songs but she has made them her own), Satelites, MMI, Be With You, Speechless, etc.. I hate when ppl try to downplay her talent when they aren’t even versed in what she is capable of doing. Criticize her choice to not release these songs but don’t say she hasn’t delivered.
Whitney & Mariah (both amazing) ok I’m done lol
@ BOYF:
Oh, I didn’t realize that. And LOL @ “pulling a Nicky”!
And “Save The Hero” is indeed a very beautiful song, one of her best. How the hell did that not make the cut, and yet crap like “Video Phone” and “Diva” did?
I’d F*** all them B******.
Hit Beyonce From the Back.
Eat Mariah Fat Juicy P****
F*** Brandy in The Mouth
Finger F*** Whitney
To think that Mariah’s song was way back mid 90’s or so and yet it standsout from the others songs that was made 2005 & later.
Brandy ——————–>
Her voice is out of this world I swear I just f****** cant!!
1ST-lets stop with the insanity of Beyonce can’t sing. Im not even a huge fan but im not deaf and ain’t that much hate to make me. The child can sing. She truly won me over big time when i saw a youtube video of the LasVegas concert and she did Anita baker’s “Sweet love and transitioned to DAngerously in Love. Im sorry but her talent is undeniable. That track “Forever bleed” is definitely tough, epic?? it could be. Beyonce favorites” Signs” from Dangerously in love. the falsetto at the end got me. “Greenlight” “KittyCat” “Irrecplaceble” and “That’s why your beautiful”
My girl Brandy, my epic song from her is “Broken Hearted” I mean i used to run that. I love the texture of Brandi’s voice-smooth, slightly raspy.She might not riff and all that but she is nice vocally.
The pic for Whitney-epic. No, boo. Poor wHit killed her voice smoking that crack. Trust she did more than cocaine cuz that don’t do that to your voice.
Mariah-i didn’t listen but we all know she the TRUTH.
BEYONCE OWNS YOUR FAV GOT CAUGHT AGAIN!!!!!

1) Girl do you think you are important enough for me to care about you responding to you. I could actually careless about your fat stanky reatrded ass replying to me boo. You are a nobody to society.
2) First off I never created 2 different accounts. My email has stayed the same(until the other day). When I was posting as Miss Chick Boom i never posted as BOYF and when posting as BOYF I never posted as Miss Chick Boom you psycho.
3)How dare you try to call somebody out for having multiple accounts when you are the queen of doing that. B**** you are Keesh May, TC;D, Wire, Rihanna World, LAX, and that’s not even the half of it.
4)I know damn well you are not judging my looks when you are probably sitting at home looking something straight out of the lion King you s*** barbarian. Have a seat you uneducated C***.
5)Nobody cares about the red headed vocal m*********** or her numbers.

@ Authentic-Psycho:
You got put on blast, and you have no comeback except for childish insults.
Accept that you’ve been OWNED.
I think its hilarious how this site always says “critics” and “everyone” when you are thee ONLY TWO F*** who say ANYTHING about the lyrical content from Beyonce’s work. She has three of the best r&b cds ever made…and each cd is filled with wonderfully written, produced and vocally challenging songs. Have u ever heard ME MYSELF AND I, DISAPPEAR, HALO, IF I WERE A BOY, RESENTMENT,….and yes those are ballads but to me even her dance songs have a message. Crazy in Love, Single Ladies, Ring The Alarm, Deja Vu…etc…i don’t think theres one song that she has put out that is flat when it comes to lyrics. You guys just hate the fact that she’s on top, and does everything Kelly Rowland CANT DO. Get over it..she’s a f****** LIVING legend…the whole “hate beyonce” thing is tireeed and Dated. its 2010 the b**** aint goin no where get over it!
@thebestdressed
Wow someone said Mariah can’t sing… LAUGHABLE….. her genius is underrated i actually LOVE all these women… its actually safe to say they are my EXACT top four RnB divas! No lie they are all talented Brandy is the most underrated as her vocals are tremendous and ppl dont realize that Beyonce is amazing and a natural star and whitney and mariah aside from being some of the classically most beautiful are hands down the two best female singers of this generation
‘Slipping Away’ has been my favourite Mariah song ever since I first heard it.
ohhhhhh so this is the website skorpion and makel was talking about and the guys name is trent obviously this must be his list because i see mariah carey on the list lol but i loooove mariah and i love that song slipping away although mariah can’t sing for s*** anymore i still rock old mariah im talking old old mariah curly hair natural not a stuck upp boushie chick mariah the one who could really sing every f****** thing i listten to that one
oh my god i love forever 2 bleed the amazing lyrics the amazing vocals just amazing i also really love slipping away the beat is great and the runs are just beautiful mariah vocals are so great here almost like her early songs
I don’t care for the song by Whitney Houston (though her vocals are amazing), but the other three songs by Brandy, Mariah, and Beyonce I love.
My vote goes to Trent! Mariah is the true R&B Queen and legend of our generation. She is beyond a talented genuis, she’s a great songwriter and singer plus more! As for Brandy, she is probably one of the most UNDERRATED artists of our time she really has a beautiful and unique voice. Whitney is also one of the greatest, but it’s a shame they placed her in a pairing with Beyonce. I’m sorry but I think Beyonce is one of the most OVERRATED artists of our generation gurl.. BYE! I’m not hating I give it to her she’s a good singer and a great performer, but to be honest she’s not the GREATEST singer that ever touched the face of the earth and that’s real talk. Also, I get the fact that she’s making millions or what not, but sales & money all stand for what? She’s still not being respected hell she’s not even a legend yet! More and more people are realizing that this b**** is a just a marketing w**** and gimmick who just happens to have a huge following of delusional fans! Everyone is tired of the OD Beyonce worship.. especially after an artist who takes credit for songs that she doesn’t pen down herself. SMH and you call that musical genuis? TEAM MARIAH and BRANDY anyday (I’m not even a fan, but I give props where props are due).
Why aren’t there more artist like them, each is sooooo talented and can saaaaang!!! I remember when before to become a famous/popular singer you had to have the best vpice in the world, but now you can dye your hair a rainbow of colours and be called an artist!!! Please…. I don’t know who to pick all are my favourite!!! But really twll me an artist that compares to an artist back in the day (I am talking about singers, not rappers)!! There are a few, but most should have been one hit wonders! Thanks TGJ for remembering these artist, love it.
@ Beyonce Owns Your Fav. AKA Miss Chick Boom
I have no problem with posting other multiple names but to pose as a HATER??
That is more than just BOREDOM, thats just…
#I CANT -Minus 50 Stan Points, Hell CARD REVOKED!!
I have respect for all of the artsists. But brandy is just the vocal Bible. Her voice is just rare and very influential on the music industry. I am anticipating her next album
can’t listen to Beyonce, don’t know why she always sounds out of tune even though she isn’t. just don’t like her tone i suppose. IMO
don’t like ‘slipping away’ deff album filler that wouldn’t feel out of place in a 90’s supermarket.
Brandy good vocal
Whitney song ‘for the lovers’ easily sounds the best, modern yet classic Whitney. I agree should have been a single. For the record million dollar bill didn’t flop in the UK.
i love all 4 and am not picking any over other
yall need to stop comparing songs like forever to bleed with likes of diva, video phone, bee is versatile, diva, video phone were clearly more fun songs, a girl needs a break, she cant be emotional and ballady all the time and its no secret bey likes to dance, DC did that alot so why shd her solo stuff be any diff. for trent and sam, for music to be rated A it has to be some depressing ballad. bee wil give u dat but SHE’S A WHOLE LOTTA WOMAN, i see crazy in love, single ladies being played 20 yrs from now plus she got the black girl swagga on in diva..BEY IS NOT 1-DIMENSIONAL….
yall shd attack those who do fun songs and cant actually sing, i’ll give u ac lue, they can be …….. loud!
BRANDY CUT IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES FROM THAT CD AND I WISHED SHE HAD RELEASED IT AS A SINGLE INSTEAD OF THE LONG DISTANCE CUT THAT WAS A LIL BORING FROM WHAT I EXPECTED FROM B!!!!
For ummmm Beyonce’s song (in Katt Williams voice)… “Why are you hollering!?”
@S***
Bye Girl, Fly Girl.
WHO DO YOU GUYS THINK IS THE BETTER VOICE. WHITNEY HOUSTON (TODAY) OR BEYONCE ( TODAY)????
I think it’s a tie because Trent and Sam each had one of my favorite songs.
“Forever To Bleed” is one of my favorite Beyonce songs, probably in my top 5-10 favorite Beyonce songs. It should have made the album or at least the deluxe edition, LOL! I love her background vocals (harmonies) with the somewhat urban beat. Gotta LOVE the QUEEN! <3
"Acapella" was my favorite song from "Human" along with "Camouflage." Her raspy, yet smooth vocals are perfect on this track. Of course, her runs and ad-libs are amazing and some of the best I've ever heard. Go Bran Bran! 🙂
@SPUNKYPOP
Obviously Beyonce today, but back in the day we know Whitney was untouchable. What a dumb question
yes touch the spirit
Slipping Away has been one of my favorite songs for years. As for the rest, blah
BRANDY >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> BEYONCÈ
period
Oh and Brandy sold more albums than Beyoncé…
RECORD SALES
Beyoncé’s album sold about 25million
Brandy’s album sold about 30 million
BIGGEST ALBUM
Brandy: Never Say Never 16 million
Beyoncé: Dangerously in Love 11 million
BIGGEST SINGLE
Brandy: The Boy Is Mine 13 weeks at number one
Beyoncé: Irreplaceable 10 weeks at number one
TV CAREER
Brandy: America’s Got Talent, Moesha (SIX seasons), The Parkers, first R&B artist to have her own reality show (Special Delivery), Double Platinum (with DIANA ROSS), Cinderella (with WHITNEY HOUSTON)
Beyoncé: Carmen: A Hip Hopera, Wow! Wow! Wubbzy!
I don’t put Destiny’s Child with Beyonce because a group harmony, choreography and material differs from the solo artist. Any group with a strong lead can succeed but making it as a solo artist it a mark of a great ( Hell B2k sold records, but Omarion, no, cuz Omarion is no Beyonce, Michael Jackson….Lionel Richie,etc)
So I start Beyonce’s career at 2003 or whenever Crazy In Love came out. I agree with the above comment
AND critically (music journalists, newspaper, magazines reviews , Brandy is way more critically acclaimed.
She’s a true to form r&b artist so I’m not equating how many cans of soda Beyonce can sell or pounds of makeup (especially when Brandy herself pioneered young singers with Makeup and singers getting barbies) she can push. So I respect her net worth, but I’m talking about musically. Brandy is golden. Beyonce has great ethic though.
f*** even today beyonce is noway close to whitney today/anybody that said it is mad whitney is there teacher and another good singer is mc,bey forces herself a lot to sing but brandy is ok ,so dont point at whitney becus everybody know her vocally
Uh here we go wit the beyonce hate. I bet if she was fat black and ugly y’all would live for her voice. The ones up here hating will have her album when it comes out next year
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M01i6TuYPoU
Trent wins! Whitney’s voice sounds shot to hell on that track!
They all bring something to the table. Clearly, the most talented and well-rounded (writing, producting, etc) of this group is Mariah Carey whose historical musical resume will be long and fruitful enjoyed by all ages. Then Whitney, who should have been close to an equal level of success with MC had she not made some seriously bad life choices, detrimental to her career and her voice. Beyonce is more of a pop singer than R&B and an entertainer. Maybe she can transition into a Tina Turner-type for the long haul, although her voice is not as rich as Tina’s. Brandy has a sweet, quiet voice, kinda like Janet Jackson. Her choice of songs will determine if we’re still talking about her in her 40’s and on.
