Must See: Brandy Live In West Hollywood

brandy tgj1 Must See: Brandy Live In West Hollywood

 Just in case you weren’t aware, Brandy‘s ‘Two/Eleven’ hits stores October 16th.

Already well received via the scorching numbers ‘Let Me Go’ and ‘Put It Down‘, October 5th saw the star arrive in West Hollywood to perform material from the release.

Well rehearsed and arming those vocals, Brandy’s set left us hoping she’s booked a slot at the forthcoming ‘American Music Awards’. For, as you’ll see yourself, her new stage show is a sight all should behold.

Find out what we mean below…

 

Many thanks our pals over at Brandy Daily.

  • Talented and making great waves and to Me a clear
    Triple Threat, and besides that there’s room for all
    of them so why not push and pull for all of them who
    work hard for their Money. It don’t matter who’s at the
    top because in life there’s always some one who’s
    going to be number One through ninety nine therefore
    let them all be great, and We should accept the fact
    that life deals Us all a hand and We can either play
    that hand or throw it back in and do nothing, at all!

    • Now don’t be disrespectful! Worry about the fucking Starz and thats it. Its comments like this and people like you that keep bs going between the two. And lets not get to above ourselves now. Why I do agree I admire the passion and unity of your fan clique, there is no need to be rude. Enjoy your time to shine because unlike you, we’ve been here plenty of times before. Your girl is “FINALLY” starting to get the credit she deserves!

      • absolutely true!!! I hate when the #STARZ just started offending other fan groups for no reason! We are here for BRAN!!!! STOP sturring up shit! brandy fuckin killed this shit

  • Brandy has been killin it but where is the video. Its not really much promo out there. Only gay club appearances.

    Wildest dreams was a fail for 2nd single choice. That song wuld never compare to all the rick ross and 2chains that radio play along with all I want for my bday is a big booty.

    2nd single culdve been better. Makibg us wait for the video is not helping either.

  • I vowed 2 buy 15 copies for me & my loved ones,i’ll do just that….this girl brought her A++ game this era….you gotta love Brandy

  • She looked really good

    She danced her ass off

    She was ver ready.

    Brandy culd easily b back on top with better song and also live vocals!

    Im a huge Brandy fan but all of the pre recorded tracks will catch up to her soon, as it did in the past.

    I love Brandy but Brandy and her team shuld be more aggressive then wat it is now. Still no video and live shows on tv.

    Very weak.

  • Yes and maaaaaaam! She’s hungry!

  • as much is We fans like to think she is live we can clearly tell that she’s not.

    Beyonce has never been my bitch, but I deal cuz she is live 90% OF THE time. Beyonce talks shit while singing and etc while live at the same time. Brandy wuld never b able to talk shit while singing live because she is not live 90% of the time.

    Brandy really she sing live more and im a huge fan of hers. I speak the truth whether they’re my favorite or not.

    Its called keeping it real.

  • She did really well it was good to see her bout damn time. I just need live vocals, that is all.

    I hope she dont tour with pre recorded tracks all over the place.

    Bspears and jlo can do that. They never been singers frm the start. Brandy as always been a singer.

    on the other hand brandy killed it. She looked good in all the black, on point with the dancin. She looked very ready.

    Hope she do well.

  • Wonder wats shes gona do for blk girls rock?

    see can’t do put it down because put it down is not a girl empowerment song. no 1 knows wildest dreams but the queens.

    this is going to be interesting. although she killed the Whitney tribute. the rumors of her lip sinking came right after.

    Wateva she does, I hope she delivers.

  • She did good but lipsynced both of her songs. The samething at the BET Awards. She did not sing live. She sung over a pre recorded track. I guess if Beyonce can do it so can she.

    • she used a backing track as most artist do! Bran is from the 90′s NO lip-syncing here!!! pay attention! people always trying to find some way to put Brandy down! She Put it down tonight an exuding everything shes been missing! and yall still find a way to hate!

      Report this comment

  • I was there and she was not pre-recorded!! There are certain pieces that come from the backing track, but you can clearly tell. You can actually tell when they fixed her mic level at the end of Put It Down. There are cell phone videos which pick up the vocals a lot better than this video. This camera must have been behind the monitors some kind of way. I mean the actual runs that she does are so “different” and intricate there is no way she could memorize that stuff.. What you know about improv?

    But yasss for the confidence AND the vocals.. Her dancing on “Wildest Dreams” was so sexy and c*** lol..

    • My friend went to the concert as well and is a huge Brandy fan & she said she did sing over a back track to Put It Down & Wildest Dream. I know she aint gonna lie about tht! She was upset about it…

  • I couldn’t tell if she was singing live or not, but who cares! It’s not a concert, it’s a club night, if she was on a major stage I maybe vexed but why waste vocals on a club might when you plan to go on tour, that just makes sense, so I’m not too fussed. She looked good and moved well, looking forward to the album. I might have to buy this one instead of the Tulisa album

    Brandy makes Monica look like a fool, Brandy is an amazing performer and she sounds so freaking good live I mean she gives me evrytghing on stage and her voice never cracks you can tell she dont smoke like some artist that sounds like they are out of breath and off key, I love you Brandy and will be buying your album if your reading this lol

    • I agree with everything you said about brandy except for the part when you say she makes monica look like a fool. I love brandy but you can’t deny when monica released still standing and sold 180,000 copies in her first week, singing ‘everything to me’ on every daytime and morning show just killing it, spending a few weeks at number 1. ‘love all over me’ went to the top of the r&b charts too. Monica’s voice is on par with the greats don’t every discredit that because Brandy is getting her shine again. 2/11 october 16th, i’m getting my copy.

  • Absolutely amazing!!!!

  • I think this performance was amazing. I am not one of her starz at all, but I give credit when credit is due! That’s who I am. I always “liked” brandy but I just have always preferred Monica over brandy. Nonetheless, brandy’s swag and energy was on point. I also admire the love her fans give her to help boost her confidence as well. She is a talented artist and deserves her shot. But how do I feel about pre-recorded tracks….hey do whatever you have to at this point. People will argue about whether it was live or not. But at the end of the day obviously those people who were there did not mind, so neither do I lol.

  • Omg just realized how she flipped the bird at y’all at 9:43. That was gangsta! Lol

  • Ok well maybe I understand a little more now about pre recorded tracks.

    Brandy has no room for error, so if she needs to lip sing it to b perfect then she gotta do what she gotta do.

    At da end of the day its still her voice anyway right?

    So she is doin da damn thing I guess. Other ppl lip sing as well, I wonder why it a big deal whn it comes to Brandy?

    It is what it is. Good luck tho bran bran keep doing ya thang.

  • I was there right up front., touched her hand & all. I must say her PR suck tho, tere were 4 of us there early waitin as she did sound check, that’s when u take your true fans & meet them, yes it was $5 to get in but still, I made a shirt just for this event & another guys drew a beautiful portrait for her, we. Fans who love & support u just show us some type of love, she killed it tho love her to death but a little disappointed with the wait, there @ 830, doors opened @ 1030, she didn’t go on stage til 1am., come on nah

  • I was there and idk Why everyone is saying she is lip synching? Clearly she is singing live…. She sings the verses and adlibs… and she dances during the hook… Thats the same thing Beyonce does…. Lip Synching is when you mouth the words to a song but nothing is coming out of your mouth… Clearly you can tell she is singing into the mic… I swear some people are just haters yo… I was only a couple of feet away from her and she was deffinitly live… She killed that shit. Her voice and control is amazing. All the CiCi and RiRi fans are mad cuz their chicks cant sing even while standing still. They are so used to seeing BS that when true talent comes along they think its lipsynched…. SMH ——– GO Brandy, i got you girl

  • Why does complimenting someone always have to be combined with insulting another artist who’s perceived as “competition.” Anyway, I liked the performance!!! But I can’t lie and say I’m not nervous about the new albums release though…I think she has better songs that could’ve been made singles before PID and WD…

    • Beyonce’s performance didn’t give you as much life because the videography of whoever directed the Barclay video was straight AWFUL! its like they didn’t know what she was going to do at ALL… like they didn’t even get the mic drop at the end…. #Rude!…. but Im a STAR first and for most…lol…

  • The sound in this video is not good, thats why it may look like shes lip synching… Watch the other videos of this same performance and you will see what i mean. In this video its almost like someone’s hand is covering up the audio recording hole on their camera…. but like i said i was there, front row, and there was no lip synching… This was a club setting so if she was lip synching we all would have noticed

    Report this comment

  • & Brandy sings so well live because she takes she takes short shallow breaths in through her nose… This keeps her larynx open so that she is able to stay on key with perfect tone and pitch…. Its not easy to breathe through your nose while singing… it can take years for some people to perfect that technique… its better then taking in breaths through your mouth becasue when you breathe in through your mouth it causes your larynx to drop witch causes strain and it becomes harder to hit certain notes… Clearly Brandy does not play when it come to her vocal training… She even said herself that it takes a lot of practice practice practice to get her vocals ready for a performance… Kelly Rowland ld take notes

    • U need to thank twice about what u just said bcuz ya girl was not singing live! She was singing over a back track! My friend said she was! She was there last night and was very upset about it. How dare you bring Kelly up in this! Unlike Kelly atleast she sing & performs live. She may struggle to keep her notes due to dancing but thts ok bcuz every performance will not be perfect. Brandy just betta get all her shine on now cause when Kelly videos in new material start being released she can say good bye to the little buzz she does have. Which isn’t much… no one knows she has an album coming out other then those on twitter. Yall tlk all this trash but didn’t even by her single wildest dreams and I doubt her album will come even close to selling 60k.

      • Uhhh like i said I was there, and clearly your friend was not. I dont get you people. Did you want the girl to sing the background vocals too? ur a fuckin idiot. of course there is a backing track. there are no background singers to sing live u idiot… im an engineer and when someone needs a track for their live performances what i will do is mute out the lead vocals in the verses and mute the adlibs… the hook and background vocals will stay on there…. if there are background vocals running through the verse then i will leave those un-muted too… clearly she needs a backing track because there are no background singers there to perform with her… did you just want her to perform to an instrumental? She is singing live… she sings all the lead vocals and the adlibs… and she does it effortlessly. Some of you have no common sense. if some of your favs would get some vocal lessons maybe they would be able to sing just as well.. -_-

      • It was not live honey stop lying to yourself! That doesn’t take away Brandys ability to sing but she did not sing live! She lip sync to pre recorded vocals! She always have performed her upbeat songs to a pre recorded track and sing her ballads without it. She has always done that over the years obviously u dn’t know much about Brandy the way you think you do boo. Don’t get mad bcuz you can’t tell rather she did or not. U just don’t know…. say that oppose to saying im wrong. I know when I see someone singing to pre recorded tracks and my friend knows exactly what she see’s and hears. Stop making yourselves look worser then you already do!

      • This is how I know you are a hater… A bunch of people just told you they were there (which you were not) and that she sung live… and you still think she is lip syncing. SMH… next time you see a Brandy post, dont click that shit… Take your fat funky ass to the next post -_-

    This has 2 b 1 of the Best LIVE preformances I’ve seen this year by any artist as a whole, this woman looks fkn AMAZING & basically everything about her execution sounds far superior, perfected & polished compare to 99% of the r&b peers, Brandy is on top right now, talent & success wise, can’t wait 2 get #TwoEleven o Oct 16, all the tracks I’ve her so far sounds fkn brilliant!

    Report this comment

  • If anything, it’s looks like she’s singing the verses and ad libs and the rest is a backing track, so it’s like a mixed vocal. Who doesn’t do that? She’s live, but there’s a backing track to fill up the voids or space, which is perfectly fine! That does NOT take away from Brandy’s vocal ability, she is more than capable of smashing a live vocal.

    Besides, if you knew anything about her music, Brandy’s vocal arrangements are so intricate and detailed, there’d be NO POSSIBLE WAY that she could sing all those overlapping parts by herself, especially on Put It Down…She’d be out of breath…

        & for the record the Avatars were the white people in the movie… I think you meant to say that Brandy looks like the NAVI people… and I dont know what you are talking about but they looked beautiful to me… Brandy is not your average beauty, she is exotic… If you cant tell by this video, Brandy aint playin with her looks this time around…. so stop hatin bitch

I dont even think they filmed the video yet… THat video should have been scheduled to drop tomorrow (tuesday), especially sincee the album is coming next week… People who only drop one video before their album comes out usually end up flopping…. Im crossing my fingers… Lets hope Brandy’s team is cookin up something behind the scenes…. I know she will be on Wendy, GMA, and 106 next week…. Lets just hope there is a video out sooner than later
