Watch: Brandy Reflects on 2012, Dishes On ‘New Years Rockin Eve’ Performance

Published: Thursday 20th Dec 2012 by Rashad

2012 has certainly been a year of triumphs for ‘Two Eleven’ maestra Brandy.  Aside from seeing her first top 10 single on Billboard charts in nearly 10 years (‘Put It Down’ ft. Chris Brown), the songstress has also won rave reviews from her many show-stopping performances from January on.

Now, the ‘Talk About Our Love’ singer is taking to ABC to talk about ringing in the new year on the ‘New Year’s Rockin Eve’ concert – joining a lineup that features Fergie, Taylor Swift, and more.

See her dish on her year-in-review, album, and upcoming performance below:

    • Peter G December 20, 2012

      • Queen Minaj December 20, 2012

        my third single sold 700,000 (BEEZ IN THE TRAP)
        MY FOURTH SINGLE IS PLATINUM (POUND THE ALARM)
        AND VAVA VOOM IS ON THE CHARTS
        SO B**** IDK WHAT SINGLES YOU TALKING ABOUT

      • Peter G December 21, 2012

        The Boys, Freedom? What’s their numbers…oh. And don’t blame walmart or target, the album still flopped on iTunes!

      • Peter G December 21, 2012

        Wait wasn’t Starships the first single and Right By My Side the second single off Reloaded. B**** your a flop stan!

      • BEYNAJ December 21, 2012

        Because Nicki Wins you f****** idiot – Brandy should have left it at Moesha – #Period

      • Queen Minaj December 21, 2012

        mama
        it came with a dvd people want the dvd
        in itunes they dont have it.
        the boys was a promotional single mama do some research.
        and i havent promoted freedom yet but i will soon so shut your face

      • Peter G December 21, 2012

        brandy’s sold 30 million record worldwide, has 3 Top 3 billboard 200 albums, got signed when she was just 14 and has been able to stay in work for nearly 20 years. Nicki just sucked on Lil Wayne and bleached her skin then tada the waitress turns into a rich overrated clown!

    • Queen Minaj December 21, 2012

      you mad cause im in the billboard year-end charts
      B**** IM WINNING

      • Peter G December 21, 2012

        Your mad cause Billboard ranked Brandy in the Top Pop Artists of the 1990s and in the Top 50 R&B and Hip Hop Artists list of the past 25 years! These charts are more important as they involve people who have actually stood the test of time. Let’s see if they remember Nicki next decade.

      • IDK December 21, 2012

        SAY that s*** @PeterG !!!!!!!!!!!! You came back to back bruh!!!!! 🙂

      • Queen Minaj December 21, 2012

        lmaooo b**** okay top artist of the 90’s
        she wants an applause ?
        you b****** stay on the past lmaooo.

      • Peter G December 21, 2012

        If you wanna talk about the present, let me remind you Two Eleven charted at number 2 and The Re-Up peaked at 27. That’s in the present b****. What now?

      • Queen Minaj December 21, 2012

        lol i debuted at number 1 with 250,000 sold and the re-release was just to boost my sales so you can have a seat

    • BITCHPLEASE December 21, 2012

      GM I SEE PG HAS SINGLE HANDEDLY TRASH YOU TO THE DUMPSTERS SO I WONT EVEN WASTE ANOTHER BREATH ON YOUR IGNORANT A**. ROTFLMFAO >>>>>>>>>>>>>>

  3. honestly December 20, 2012

    She should reflect on a lot. #1 is releasing a video 5 years after the song came out. Reflect so she can make improvements and comeback stronger.

  4. Godra Godga December 20, 2012

    Aaaaw, Look at little negro ET. When she isn’t busy murdering innocent people, she’s here trying to resurrect her flop career. B**** looks worse than my s***.

    • Peter G December 20, 2012

      You should share a picture of your face, I’d be happy to make a full and frank judgement.

      • IDK December 21, 2012

        lool!!!

  5. Peter G December 20, 2012

    Still love me some Bandy even though the album flopped.

    • Queen Minaj December 20, 2012

      DONT COME FOR ME B**** ILL SNATCH YOUR WEAVE

      • Peter G December 21, 2012

        I’ll come on who ever I want

      • Queen Minaj December 21, 2012

        well then come with facts mama
        cuz this b**** flopped harder than lil kim and the naked truth

      • Peter G December 21, 2012

        The Naked Truth is actually one of my favourite albums. It ain’t a flop in my eyes!

      • Queen Minaj December 21, 2012

        LMAOOO B**** THEN YOU SHOULD HAD BOUGHT MORE COPIES OF IT LMAOOOO
        I WIN YOU LOSE HAHAHAHAH
        OH S*** IM A BAD B****

      • IDK December 21, 2012

        Naw you lost hard.

    • IDK December 21, 2012

      I wouldnt say she flopped tho.

      • Queen Minaj December 21, 2012

        HOW DID I LOOSE?
        BEST HIP HOP ALBUM RELEASES IN 2012
        MOST TOP TEN SINGLES IN 2012
        ALL I DO IS WIN

      • Peter G December 21, 2012

        No Grammy nominations!
        The Re-Up and all it’s singles flop!
        Turning 30 and thinking your still a teenager!
        And all this happening in your peak! B**** all your doing from now on is flop, flop, flop!

      • Peter G December 21, 2012

        @IDK That’s debatable, but at least it wasn’t as hard as Nicki, Christina or Nelly Furtado!

      • Queen Minaj December 21, 2012

        the re-up was a re-release and it sold more than expected but you tried 😛
        i am already 30 and im still winning if madona and mariah can do it so can i

      • IDK December 22, 2012

        CTFU!!!! Right @Peter G!

    • Mely B December 21, 2012

      Y is it considered a flop? because yt didn’t buy it?

  6. BABY T December 21, 2012

    Ummmm I like Brandy but that Flop It Down song didn’t pass #60 on the Billboard Hot 100 and Two Eleven flopped.

  7. Sava December 21, 2012

    Dear Brandy, let me help you reflect on 2012:

    F to the L to the O to the P!

    That was a FLOPulous year honey!

    • BEYNAJ December 21, 2012

      Moesha is where she should have stayed – Flop to the – Leave to the – DOOR

    • MUSIC HEAD December 21, 2012

      Sava, I guess we’ll see how well your album does when it hits stores.

      Oh wait…you don’t have a record deal! Keep hope alive!

  8. Todd December 21, 2012

    I wonder what she’s gona perform!!! Hopefully something new but is she’s gona do PID or WD i prefer Put It Down!!!

    • IDK December 21, 2012

      She might do let me go.

      • MUSIC HEAD December 21, 2012

        NO NO NO. Let Me Go is not a good single choice lol.

      • IDK December 21, 2012

        lol smh.

      • notsuoh December 21, 2012

        I hope she does put it down and does an epic performance. It would dope if Breezy FINALLY performed it with her this time!

  9. JazThatBoi December 21, 2012

    People are soooo quick to hate. Yes the numbers were not the best but I believe she did a pretty good job with promo, with the first single choice, WD is vocally a good song and overall the album was critically acclaimed. And ppl, there are very few ppl out there not “flopping” by your standards. According to yall Nicki, Beyonce, Rihanna, and Brandy are all flopping but at the end of the day they are all getting paid and have more money and investments than all of us. Sooooo I wouldnt call that a flop…If u getting money doing what u love…i call that winning!! End of story!!

    • IDK December 21, 2012

      Thank you!!!!!!!!! Say that again!!!

  10. Monstarebel December 21, 2012

    7.)Ne-Yo 70 k I think s*** Idk but his album flopped even with having the benefit of a top 10 hit on the Hot 100 #PoorDat

    8.)Christina Aguilera 73k she didn’t even care for this era the reasoning of why she flopped harder than bionic..

      right!

  12. Dev December 21, 2012

    The interviewer is cute.
    I dont care if the album flopped, it’s still a bad ass album. SWV “flopped” another badass album. I don’t care what people on here say i just wan’t my original r&b stars to keep putting out the music that i love

    • MUSIC HEAD December 21, 2012

      That SWV album was hot!

  13. mc the place to be! December 21, 2012

    So much hate I’m pretty sure brandy ain’t worried about sales she still gets checks for moesha just like will gets his checks for fresh prince so u can down her but I’m pretty sure everyone including your faves was faithfully watching that show 5 days a week sigh *plays can you hear me now*

  14. Sierra December 21, 2012

    LMAO! anywho

    Brandy I love you as an artist and your album was great in my opinion I just wished you had better promo because I personally felt you deserved more recognition then what you got but it is what it is people are gonna support who they wanna support so but keep going and can’t wait to see you in tylers movie the marriage counselor

    Well anyway let get back to reading these comments smh! LOL

  15. That Damn Navy December 21, 2012

    the legs and thighs on that man are everything. yasss qweeen

  16. IDK December 21, 2012

    I love you B!!!!!!!!!!! ROCKA!!!!!!!!!!!

  17. MUSIC HEAD December 21, 2012

    Brandy had a pretty successful year. #1 single and #1 album. I am very pleased!

    Now…Brandy please don’t perform Wildest Dreams. It is dead in the water with no hope of resuscitation. Let’s just move on babe.

    Please perform Put It Down or a medley of Put It Down/Do You Know (since hopefully that will be the next single). Please and thank you!

  18. Lucky libra December 21, 2012

    Man y’all are some pathetic haters. Y’all only like an artist if they “slay the charts” regardless of talent. Brandy is one of R&Bs most cherished gems! Her voice, her harmonies, her girlish charm, her signature sound….there have been many imitators, but she cannot be duplicated. Some of your favorite artists LOVE Brandy. Just ask Rihanna, Chris Brown (he often imitates her runs), JoJo, Beyonce, Solange, Dawn Richard, India arie, Jessie J, Jazmine Sullivan etc. Two Eleven may not be a platinum seller, but she has proved that she is here to stay! Let’s see where your favorite artists are in 20 years…HATERS!!!!
