With the Urban arena buzzing and then some ahead of the release of Brandy‘s ‘Two Eleven’ LP next week, we caught up with the Vocal Bible herself to discuss her “rebirth”.
During our intimate chat with the songstress, she dished on stepping up her performance game, rocking the BET Awards, coming back from thinking it was over for her, Nicki Minaj vs Mariah Carey and a whole lot more.

“If I pulled out your I-phone right now, what other music are you listening to?”
“Oh, I’m not listening to any other music right now.”
Yesss, Brandy! That response right there reminded me of the Full Moon era Brandy. She is not focused on anybody else but herself. I’m loving her confidence, her passion, her DRIVE. She’s so inspiring.

Learn how to spell B****!
@Jahlal Learn how to deal b**** okay
Learn how to spell!! Go to school and keep away from drugs..
b**** gtfoh <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< 🙁
Vocal bible? Brandy =NO
Whitney = YES
Mariah = YES
BRANDY = NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
DUMB ASS B****** SHES THE VOCAL BIBLE AND THOSE INFLUENCED BY HER IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY CALL HER THAT!! GET OVER IT!! BRANDY IS THE VOCAL BIBLE B******!!! HAHAHAHA BRANDY IS THE VOCAL BIBLE # HATING ASS B******!!!
Nobody has ever called Brandy the vocal bible have all the seats.
“Vocal bible” is the name that was coined just for Brandy. Nobody thought to call anybody else the vocal bible and now that she wears that title, it is not suitable for anybody else but her. Similar to how Whitney was “the voice.” just accept it.
Vocal Bible is the prefect term for Brandy because she puts her all into her music from writing, production, sound and mood she always makes sure her work is QUALITY music! Something that even great singers like Beyonce cant even do!!! There is not one of Brandy’s unreleased tracks Ive heard that I didnt like!!! Everything she puts her name on is usually great work! Most of the singers coming out now always give Brandy love because you can’t deny her voice no matter how much you love or hate it…..
That accapella >
that right brandy that 🙂
How is she the Vocal Bible? What does she possess that is missing in singers like Aretha, Whitney, Mariah, Ella Fitzgerald, Barbara Streisand, and the likes?
BRANDY IS THE VOCAL BIBLE. DID HE LIE?
Yes he/she lied “real talk”
Every singer is talented in their own right. In order for one to be recognized for their gift and have a title, they must learn their craft, practice their craft, and perfect it. Aretha Franklin is the undisputed Queen of Soul. Ella is a Jazz Empress. Whitney was the VOICE. Brandy is the vocal bible, and no one should really feel like calling her that takes away from others’ talent.
Being a vocal bible isn’t about having the biggest range, it’s not about having the loudest voice, and it’s not about how long you can belt notes. A vocal bible is one who is versatile. Someone who uses their voice to its fullest potential. One who can dive and experiment with many different sounds with their voice and music, but still have their artistic integrity. Brandy is constantly honing her skills and perfecting her craft, which is why she’s respected among her peers.
I don’t understand why people get offended when we call her the vocal bible, when in all actuality, it didn’t even START with her fans. Let’s do our research folks before we start getting bent out of shape over this.
Mariah shits on her voice/career “deal with it”
I wasn’t aware that this was a contest. Mind you, Mariah is a talented singer in her own right, but that still doesn’t change the fact that Brandy excels with vocal prowess that sets her apart from her contemporaries. Now deal with THAT.
@Bran Star

In answer to your question i think that its the bible part that is almost offending people. I understand what you’re saying and hear your point but the good book is the best book ever, so people are expecting brandy to be the best singer ever so don’t understand the intricacies of what you’re saying.
What i will say that compared to a lot of her counterparts, Brandy’s voice has held out damn well! There are a lot of singers who’s pits goes off, they become screechy or they have to alter there songs because they cant sing as they did years ago. I have to be honest, i though on a few occasions that she had to be lip syncing due to the clarity and tone of her voice. For me vocal and music wise, i have much respect for Brandy.
*pitch goes off

no not at all >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Great interview This woman is so talented & her personality shines through … Loving all the snippets from 211 & will def buy the deluxe edition of her CD … welcome “back” Miss B_R_A_N_D_Y
she is here to stay for God will protect her no matter what the evil world do to her.
Maybe she can ask God for a hit
It is a shame she is stuck with a afro america, or to many ghetto fan base. She will never go platinum. You needs to buy your music and they do know or care who she is.
OK WE HEAR YA B****!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND YOU CAN PREDICT THE FUTUTRE RIGHT??? SMH
Why is she asked about the Mariah /Nicki beef? I’m glad she kept her mouth shut because we know Brandy is mos def team Mariah, she would never condone being RATCHET like that and you could tell by her body lingo/facial expressions she was like “yeah gurl you tried it”
EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!!! LEAVE BRANDY OUT OF THIS MESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BITCHPLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This was a good interview but TGJ was all kinds of wrong for having patty up in there.
HOW?????????????????
Brandy is so real, so humble and so easily lovable. She is definitely an inspiration. I love how she’s able to admit the kind of shortcomings and lack of successes that she’s been facing before this era. I wish her the greatest success with this album, not only because the album serves solid R&B, but also because Brandy truly deserves it. Support this beautiful and talented woman and go buy the album, everyone!
PREACH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BRANDY IS THE ORIGINAL AND THE VOCAL BIBLE! THESE HATING ASS B****** BETTER DEAL!!
ALL THESE NAPPY H*** WILL DEAL SO DONT HAVE TO EXPLAIN YOURSELF.
Stay riding Brandys d***. Lets see what you have to say when she has 3 consecutive flop albums
HAHAHAJAHA YA MAD????????
I miss the 90’s and early 2000’s when people supported EVERYONE. Nowadays yall queens write everyone off except your “FAV”. I heard Brandy’s album and I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE it! My favs are “Without You” “No Such Thing As Too Late” “Scared Of Beautiful” and “Wish Your Love Away” even though I like all of the tracks. Brandy, nor her fans started the “vocal bible” thing. Her PEERS (fellow artists) started it! Do you study the bible? Well a lot of artists study her voice (runs, harmonies, intonations etc). Chris Brown, Dawn Richard, JoJo, Kelly Rowland, Rihanna, just to name a few! Just because you can hit a high note doesn’t make you better than anyone! Brandy does things that other artists simply CANNOT do with their voices. Anyone can hit a high note (including Brandy). So sit yall azzez down and stop hating!!!
PREACH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
brandy bout to slay my life next week until two-eleven come out ill think ill listen to the vocal bible full moon and get ready 4 it
COSIGN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great Interview! Love you Brandy!
That’s all the imbeciles at TGJ do is start drama, and stan wars.
They asked Brandy that question because they were hoping she would gp in on Mariah seeing as how they stan for Nicki.
Brandy ain’t about that, and she strayed away from the drama unlike the low life bloggers here. These folks are so unprofessional and biased.
a lot of reporters are asking that question to artists recently.
PREACH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I CAN NOT WAIT UNTIL TUESDAY!!!!!!!!!! TARGET! HERE I COME!!!!!!
I love how she said she doesn’t want to “have a seat” she wants to “STAND.” Girl, your supporters are standing right next to you!
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like and support Brandy, but 20 year career? Only five of those years was she actually doing s***. She’s been gone so long she basically has to re-debut as a singer.
That’s unfair…, even when MJ was in the wilderness he was still MJ and he was still making money. Mariah at her lowest was still Mariah.., Brandy was signed at 13 and she’s now 33; that’s a 20 year career.
Exactly. No artist stays on top forever…Every single artist has peaks and valleys in their careers…MJ wasn’t on top forever, nor was Whitney, but people still respected them for what they’ve accomplished, and the same applies for Brandy.
BITCHPLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
she looks like an avator in the cover
BITCHPLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! STAY MAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m trying to figure out if this is supposed to be an insult? Zoe Saldana and Laz Alonzo are beautiful people… guess she’s in good company.
She looks amazing on this interview. Love the hair and natural clothes.
BRANDY!!!
I definitely loved this interview! I’m proud to see Brandy doing new and big things!
i’ve just bought Two Eleven and i am IN LOVE with this album and IN LOVE with Brandy, 10/10 for AMAZING vocals and vocal production, songs that are sooo SICK, and beats and production that wipes the floor with any other R&B album out today, this is the future sound R&B, welcome back Brandy 🙂
How did you do that? I thought it came out tomorrow?
It’s out today in the UK and some other countries.
Just bought Brandy – Two Eleven (Deluxe Edition) on iTunes and so far so good. Let’s now see if Black people support their artists. Let’s see if those who make loud noise about “real music” actually support it. I bought my copy, where’s yours?
Bought mine to! I love it, I can tell she took her time with this album :).
I really LOVE this woman! yessss….. this album is amazing !!!
Not going to lie, I’ve had “no such thing as too late” on repeat.
Just bought the album and THE S*** IS FIRE! “No Such Thing As Too Late” & “Don’t Let Me Go” need to be her 3rd and fourth singles.
Okay! Let’s set the record straight. The folks claiming her album is simply okay or a flop obviously aren’t real fans or know what R&B music is. Brandy vocally can do things with her voice that hardly any other artist out here can. Her raspy tone and control allows her to use her voice as an instrument on a song. If you really listen to her ALBUMS and not just TWO ELEVEN you will hear all of her harmonies. The album is laced with R&B/Hip-Hop/Urban Pop tracks with reminders of the Full Moon/Never Say Never/Afrodisiac eras yet gracing a more current modern feel to reintroduce Bran to the new kids!
Lastly, Brandy has already stated that she didn’t do a lot of writiing on this album in previous interviews. She’s not faking it or trying to put on like she wrote or cowrote on the entire album. TWO ELEVEN is a soon to be classic R&B and Brandy album. **in Tamar voice** GET YO LIFE
