Today’s the day! Brandy‘s hotly anticipated comeback set ‘Two Eleven’ stormed into stores today, and as per iTunes is a strong contender for the top spot. So as to give the LP an added push, the Vocal Bible took over BET’s 106 & Park.
The episode is actually still airing as we type, but you know we had to hit you with that good good first. Peep B-Rocka’s performance of ‘Put It Down’ below and keep it locked for more!
While showing a bit of restrain vocally, Ms. Norwood still delivered like a pro. Solid showing!
Update: ‘Wildest Dreams’ performance below. Peep the weave-wip at the 0.43 mark!
Something’s lacking in her stage presence, plus the crowd was kinda meh…….
well this performing style (lets call it the singer that dances a bit) is not what brandy started her career as. she was a should bopper, hip mover. so this is extreme for her, compare to a ciara. but compare this style to some1 like ciara, it is lacking, but comparing it to brandy in the past, the style os a huge 180 to what she did in years past

I wish she would have actually sang.
it sounded like she did….
Lmao..
She did ACTUALLY sing. That fool a HATER.
i dont think she sang live either she was moving that mic and u didnt hear any air and she was jumping and u didnt hear any kind of breathing
So her random woos and yeahs were pre-recorded? not! sit down somewhere.
She was really singing bruh, pay close attention to her lips man. She was ACTUALLY sing. She’s jus that damn good to sing and dance at the same damn time.
That lace-front she got on is a total MESS in this pic.
She looks beautiful. I just wish she performed another song like Wildest Dreams or so sick….sigh….Two Eleven is an amazing album.

WHY?!!?? I thought we were friends.

*146 million singles.
She is coming for your fave!\
Lol! Benron (your name?) She ain’t never coming for my fave, not even on my faves worst era.
“146 million singles.”
This is an inflated ass number that Roc Nation or Def Jam is throwing out…just like YMCM crew says Nicki’s album sold Platinum when it shipped a million and not sold. It’s all just hype, because there is no way Rihanna has sold 146 million records (singles, albums, digital album, etc) all added together. I would assume you would realize that is just company hype…..just like Def Jam promised that “Loud” would be the next “Thriller” lol
But what you have to remember is that she has sold almost 100 million singles in just the U.S. and the U.K.
And they assured everyone that Loud would be like thriller because every song would be a single.
@Benron (King Of The F****** Navy)
Benron, its all inflate numbers……like the RIAA inflated number. The U.S. and U.K. (especially the U.S.) are the biggest music markets so she will not stellar seller elsewhere. I have no idea how many records she has sold but all of the sudden she has sold 146 million record? Out of nowhere she is close to outselling Celine and Whitney and getting closer to Mariah and Madonna’s numbers? Just 7 years in (she barely sells album) and she is selling 146 million records? Mariah, Celine, Madonna, and Whitey were huge albums and singles sellers so it just seems so odd that all the sudden, out of nowhere, she has “sold” 146 million. You are also the 1st person to ever give me these inflated ass number. Receipts please?
Roc nation said it twice.
And they’ve been saying 90 million singles for awhile now.
But this, its OUTRAGEOUS. They even said she sold 37 million albums (183 million records together).
But don’t worry, she’ll only pass Mariah slowly, beat her in grammies by febuary, number one singles by 2016, outsell her in records by 2018, and then she will become the new queen 😛
Benron (King Of The F****** Navy)
You just proved my point dhhhharling! 😉
“Roc nation said it twice.” Roc Nation is saying this….her camp….its a selling/marketing strategy. So they were saying 90million then its 120 million (yesterday) and 146 million (a few minutes ago) and now 183 million together!? Okay….this is just confusing now.
Unless Billboard or Nelson Sound Scan announce this I won’t believe it.
I actually could care less about Grammys. Beyonce has 16 while Mariah (5), Whitney (6), Celine (5), Diana Ross (1), Tina Turner (2), Bob Marley (0), Queens (0), Elvis Presley (3) etc….I have never taken Grammys seriously especially when they keep on GIVING Grammys away.
“number one singles by 2016” Lol. Lets wait and see, but a little bird tells me that people aren’t going to be interested in a 28 years old still “singing” about the same stuff post Rater R.
“and then she will become the new queen :P”
I will also have run for President and won and change the U.S into a totalitarianism. 😛
It was 90 from Sep. 120 from Nov and 183 from sept. And Im agreeing with you those are inflated as f***, only based off shipments.
As for grammies its ok Bob Marley got a lifetime acheivment award and Aretha franklin has 20, but they need to stop givjng awards to anyone with money like Beyonce and s***.
Haven’t you noticed the deadly Rihanna patern.
Era 2: One #1
Era 3: Three #1’s
Era 4: One # 1
Era 5: Three #1’s
Era 6 One #1
(folllow suit and add the two features)
Era 7: 3 Number ones (So 14)
Era 8: 1 number one (so 15)
Era 9: Three number ones (tied Mimi)
Era 10 1 number one (Mariah is beat!)
And I know Rihanna’s looks will fade (its already starting) but then she will just have to use more photoshop like Christina Aguilera and cake on Makeup like Lady Gaga. She will be queen forever.
Like I said I’ll wait for Nelson Sound Scan and/or Billboard to announce her records sold.
Grammys never got it right other than MJ (18) and Aretha (18) otherwise they suck—-Adele (I like her but 8 Grammys with 2 albums?)? I rest my case.
I noticed that Rihanna is really successful on HOT 100 (the only chart she is successful in ;P) but so is Katy Perry….she already has 9 #1 songs and has been out less than Rihanna with 2 albums. Rihanna has 7 more #1 singles to go before tying with Mariah and if she isn’t careful Kate will snatch her bold in the only chart that she is successful in (no shade, but shade).
Its not about Rihanna’s looks alone, its about her attitude…no one, and I really mean no one, is still going to be interested in her 4 years from now IF she is still having the same nasty behavior, attitude, songs, and fake “thug life” persona. She is no thug. I hope she succeeds for your sake. Whats your name? You never told me! Are you really 15?!?
P.s. Obama slayed the life out of that fake-ass-lying-trifling Mittens
Obama did slay Him and my name (nickname) is Benron. What’s yours?
Katy Pery only has 6 number one singles, if she had 9 she would of broken multiple records by now, I know it seems like she has a lot but only 6/7. And I had a typo before, Im 14 (15 november 3rd)
Her “thuglife” persona was getting old, but can’t you tell she is over it. The vogue picture’s she was covered up and s***, which appears to be her new thing. I haven’t seen her tweet a picture of a blunt or some stupid s*** in a long time, she is trying to be more mature! I hope she sucseeds to but its looking bleak.
I meant to say Katy has 7 #1s
Katy Perry has 7 #1’s

Benron I have never heard this name before 🙂 (what does it mean, if it means anything?). I have a common Ethiopian name — Bethlehem (Place Jesus was born and ironically I was born on September 27 — in Ethiopia its September 16 which is the day, according to the Bible, Jesus Christ died. Every year in Ethiopia on Sept. 16 there is no school or work — its a national celebrated holiday with TV specials and everything!)
Although your musical taste suggested as much, your radical views on race and “racist America” makes you see older. Are you a freshman or Sophomore in High school? I’m a Junior…and its killing me!
The Vogue cover + photos are very high fashion and s*** without being slutty which is a step in the right direction. The reason why she isn’t tweeting stuff is because she is too busy sleeping around with CB! I’ll reserve my judgements about her maturity until after I listen to “unapologetic”.
@MC the queen got u pressed yet again F***??
Do u need another dragging? What about mimi last FLOP era?
Unlike her, Nicki got good enuff sense to re-release her project & go into 2mil stratosphere something “Memoirs of a angel food cake” will NEVER SEE!
STAY TRYNNA COME FOR THE QUEEN, F***!!
Brandy’s vocals slay & s*** on your faves live & she needs no backing track or reverb microphones???? or wind machine??? TRUE QUALITY!!! CD QUALITY! BOW TO THE QUEEN, F****!!!
Shut up you dumb b**** get over your dumb flop fave.
She has released 61 singles but never gone past #4 on the hot 1000, has only sold 3.5 million albums and can’t even fill up an arena.
She is litterally a bigger flop then you’re other fave Ciara, who aactually was sucsessful at some point. Shutup you over obsessed delusional f*****, put your energy ito something other than trying to “drag” because you’re the least clever, smart or funny person I have EVER seen.
You can’t even that deflated thing you call ass let alone drag me. You are as hood-rat, ghetto, and failure as your fave while I remain un-bothered by you and your fave the Queen of Flops.
WOW….She’s all over the place today…. Im sure she’s soooo tired. GREAT JOB B-ROCKA!
It was fine, she could of sang better but she danced really well.
cool performance. We can see she’s a bit tired because of yesterday concert, but I loved her swag and look.
And she performed Wildest dreams too, the video will probably appear soon
Random, watching Brandy makes me miss Aaliyah more and wonder how she would’ve grown after all these years. Good performance by Brandy, going to cop my copy of 2/11 ASAP!
She did perform Wildest Dreams, I guess they just havent posted it yet… She performed good but the above poster was right Something was lacking… and Im not feelin the outfits…. She needs to stick to the all black Janet-esque outfits…. They make her look like a star… This out fit she wore looks like something Ciara wore a couple years ago… and she needs to stick with the long bone straight barbie doll hair… it makes her look like a model… IDK – her performance at The Factory was waaay better. She seemed to have so much confidence and stage presence… Her energy was on point.. Everything from her walk to her hand movements to the diva look in her eyes… Everything was on point that night…. Dont get me wrong she did well on 106 but that performance she gave at the club was everything…. She needs more of that energy when she does live tv… and she shoulda had 2 more dancers on stage with her if u ask me…. I hope she brings it on GMA and Wendy and whatever else she is going to be on this week…. and please do not wear plain tshirts and jean shorts on stage when you perform Brandy… it makes you look so plain… I need costumes… i need outfits that say “B****, Im Here”… its not good when the backup dancers outfits look better then yours… stick to the Black.. and from the glimpse they showed of the Wildest Dreams video, it seems like you may have a winner… It doesnt really look EPIC, but it seems decent… Im sure they havent finished editing the whole thing yet, so Ill wait before i judge completely…. Brandy girl, Im rooting for you…. The album is FIYAH, you seem to be on the right path to having a successful comeback….Just dont get lazy with the promo…. I need to see you on everything for the next 2 months… Haters, go to hell
Her live Vocals are amazing! Her runs aren’t to be played with! i think Beyonce is the only one who can match her with them!
Nope i’ve never heard Beyonce execute such complex runs the way Brandy does, Jazmine Sullivan does though and then there is kim burrell who is the most gifted when it comes to vocal runs.
Right, I think beyonce is more known for her falsetto high notes verses runs which i never heard her do.
gurl bye
spell houston right before u make a joke!!
Yaaas brandy is trying to make me a Stan oh gawd …
This is supposed to be my girl Brandys Day But b****** like beyonce wanna come out the wood works & announce some superbowl s*** she couldn’t wait? smh Tryna steal the true rnb divas shine…
You guys r so ridiculous! How is Beyonce gonna affect Brandy in anyway? U guys r killin me! The samething with Kellyrowland.. Brandy fans was on twitter going in at Kelly for tweetin about Brandy’s album late. U guys act like these women don’t have their own projects coming! They cannot stop their stuff bcuz of Brandy! U guys need to have more confident in your fav!
Beyonce does this to kelly rowland too, all the time.
Her fans r not out crying about Bey releasing material either. At this point It’s not gonna affect Kelly nor will Bey annoucing a superbowl performance gonna affect Brandy! People support talent when they see it…. Brandy will get her shine… atleast for now.
Fake fan alert. You’re as transparent as Windex. You couldn’t care less about Brandy, you’re just using her to start some s*** on here about Beyonce. I love it when idiots assume that everyone is as stupid as they are and can get away with this kind of mess.
Click the “X” at the top right of your screen, little girl.
HOW IS BEYONCE ANNOUNCING A SUPERBOWL PERFORMANCE GONNA AFFECT BRANDY & ANYWAY??? TELL ME THAT? U CAN”T EVEN ANSWER IT! U SOUND RIDICULOUS! JUST LIKE MITT ROMNEY! U DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT THA HECK UR TALKIN ABOUT! I JUST LIKE GOOD MUSIC PERIOD! DOESN’T MATTER WHO IT COME FROM!
This is true and Beyonce is always do this to kelly too. lol. craazy.
You act like beyonce is dropping an album it’s just an performance.. fall back B****… the N.F.L ANNOUNCED IT YOU F***** C*** THEY ALWAYS ANNOUNCE WHOS PERFORMING AT THE SUPER BOWL EVERY YEAR THEY DO THIS TOWARDS THE END OF OCTOBER IF U WATCHED FOOTBALL U WOULD KNO DONT TRY TO SHADE BEY…
The Put It Down performance was mediocre but the Wildest Dreams performances was FIRE! Her vocals were so on point. I want more of this from Brandy!!!!!!!!
AWWW Bran is extremely tired from last nights concert BUT of course she slayed!!! That head spin in Wildest Dreams took he whole cake! and her vocals even tired are still on point!

The run during the wildest dream performance, right at 2:46. SSSSlllllllllllllaaaaaayyyyyyyeeeeddddddddddddd my life.
BRANDYYYYYYY!!!!! YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!
She SHITTEDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That was the best “Wildest Dreams” performance ever and one of her best performances ever.. She really FEELS that song in her heart. Love is a beautiful thing. I wish more of the people that surf these blogs would be a LIGHT like brandy and stop so much hate and darkness.
LOVE Brandy! Go, Go, GO!
& what happened to the little breakdown part of the wildest dreams song? that was the best part when she performed at The Factory… she needs to put that part back into the choreography…. When she does that little dance, the crowd goes wild…. i think that is what was missing from this performance
She did her thing. I was impressed.
she looked amazing… vocally she was nothing special …people knock rihanna but ri gives stronger vocal performances but im not complain its only an ebt show
Rihanna is a non singin b****… brandy SLAYS RIHANNA… RIHANNA CANT EVEN PERFORM
Brandy is serving us just like the liquor. High % volume and strooonng.
I like the B-Rocka swag right now.
Bit horse but the lady is working hard and still sounded great with execution of her notes.
#twoeleven
(I sooo want her to sing slower live jus for some of those vocal runs. Hotness)
YESSSS *THREE SNAPS* BRANDY YOU BETTER WORK GIRL AND THE ALBUM IS BEAUTIFUL ALL AROUND GREAT I LOVE IT BRANDY IS SHOWING HOW ITS DONE LOL
Brandy is just that b**** right now. Im so proud of her n the new album. I thought the performances were great, both of them. I got her cd on repeat on my phone. I love Do You Know, Slower, and No Such thing…
These weren’t her best voal perfomances, I think because she’s been all over the place signing so her voice is probably tired, but I am proud of how she’s owning the stage, and becoming a great entertainer, and yes she is singing live on put it down, the backing track is just reall over powering.
Ordered my 2/11 album yesterday can’t wait to get it, haven’t listen to any songs yet, and finding it hard cause everyone keeps saying how good it is.
Keep winning Brandy.
brandy voice was just tired like when she was talking on the show it seemed like shes losing her voice i guess cuz of the cold and she sang somewhere else recently sooo give her a break its only 106 and park times like these i really wish trl was still here that wouldve helped her with other audiences
Yeah she had a concert at the Best Buy Theatre the day before so her voice was a little tired as expected. I just say her on tv a few minutes ago and her voice was completely gone. She probably going to rest it as much as possible. But your right people need to give her a break and stop being so critical of her. She is great in her own right everyone should just support or not even comment.
I loooooooooooooooooove this woman….OMG…..I loved her stage presence on Wildest Dreams…
Brandy was on point with PID, but the W.D. performance was sizzling.
