Watch: Brandy Rehearses Frank Ocean Penned ‘Scared Of Beautiful’

Published: Sunday 6th Jan 2013 by Sam

While ‘Put It Down’ put Brandy back on the map commercially, it was the track’s housing album ‘Two Eleven’ that truly marked the Grammy winner’s return in the eyes (and ears) of music lovers the world over.

One of the LP’s most talked about tracks is the Frank Ocean penned ‘Scared Of Beautiful’ – which the newly engaged singer was recorded rehearsing recently for a live show.

    Okay who doesn’t know Brandy kills any and everything she sings?? Where the heck is the next single?? Release Do You Know now. Her manager sucks. I wish she would stop with the family management and get someone that can handle her. It’s very frustrating being a Brandy fan.

    • MUSICHEAD January 6, 2013

      Yea it is very frustrating. But it’s not as if major management companies were knocking down her door before Put It Down hit #1.

      Everything we’ve gotten from the Two Eleven project was a grass roots effort. I’m proud of the success she has received despite not having a major push behind her but she still deserves more.

      Hopefully this album will allow her to align herself with a real manager with major connections so that the next album will be even bigger.

    • Mely B January 7, 2013

      Wait, I thought her mom was no longer her manager?

      • MUSICHEAD January 7, 2013

        She’s not but her cousin is now

  6. Dance Again (Beyonce’s Weave) January 6, 2013

    Well she’s on a label who’s CEO believes 500,000 is the new platinum, she must be doing well (for the label at least) so I cannot shade.

    This is one of the stand out songs on Two Eleven, glad she’s giving it a chance.

  7. LittleJohnny January 6, 2013

    Damn I wish this girl would go on tour.

    • MUSICHEAD January 6, 2013

      She’s using the success of these shows to negotiate a tour backed by a major promoter. They have to see that people will show up to see her and they certainly are so far.

      I’d say expect a tour sometime around April.

      • JER January 6, 2013

        LMFAO thank you Brandy’s publicist

  8. Cream January 6, 2013

    She look like a baby Horse that’s all I have

    • MUSICHEAD January 6, 2013

      And I’m sure you look like a baby cow heifer!

      • Lax January 7, 2013

        Brandy sounds good and you can always tell who
        and where the “Small Minded” folks are by the way
        they cling to how a person look!!!

    • JER January 6, 2013

      Leave Brandy alone! Her mane is gorgeous!

  9. King B>Rihanna January 6, 2013

    Damn that b**** got some vocals on her.Scared of Beautiful is a beautiful song arguably one career highlight.

    • Monstarebel January 6, 2013

      Right!! Frank did a great job with writing this song!

  10. Marcus January 6, 2013

    Her voice is a blessing from god.

  11. Caramelboi January 6, 2013

    U betta werrrkkk Ms. Brandy Norwood soon to be Mrs. Brandnu Press. She needs to make dis song a single asap. I used to listen to dis song everyday and it took me to dat place and I just had to give it a rest. It does sumthin to me everytime. I just got my everlasting life just from dis rehearsal.

  19. sentfromupabove January 6, 2013

    THIS IS NOTHING SHORT OF AMAZING

    3RD SINGLE: LET ME GO!!!!!!

  20. A simple critique. January 6, 2013

    I don’t like the break she took between the album release and now. The album was released in October. Wildest dreams was suppose to be the second single, but it gets no radio play, little promotion, and the video could have been a lot better. Is this the third single? I like brandy but she lazy! She’s no where near as serious about her music career as she used to be. Relying on your label to promote your album, or call the next shot when you’re worth millions is just ridiculous. When her album flopped her fans made excuses instead of telling the truth, like waiting to the week of the albums release date to perform and make appearances on people show’s. Such a good album, but I’m afraid it may be too late…..

  21. MC&TB4LIFE January 6, 2013

    Shouldnt it be Frank Ocean’s penned instead of Frank Oceaned penned. Poor grammar.

    • MUSICHEAD January 6, 2013

      Both are wrong. It should be Frank Ocean penned.

  22. cvt January 6, 2013

    !!!! I CAN’T EVEN BEGIN TO ARTICULATE WORDS THAT ARE INDICATIVE OF HER DEIIVERY AND TALENT!! I JUST HOPE BRANDY AND THE LABEL REALIZES THE NEED TO KEEP PUSHING AND RELEASING SINGLES FROM THIS PROJECT!!! TO MAKE HER A FORCE AGAIN!!!! SHE IS A FORCE !!! BUT AMIDST THE MASSES!! AND TO GET THE CREDIT SHE DESERVES RATHER THEN THE ARTIST THAT HAVE EMULATED HER SOUND

  23. nick January 6, 2013

    lord i love Brandy so much, yesssssssss

  24. SlayDeleAdkins January 6, 2013

    SLAYAGE!!!

  25. RoyalKev January 6, 2013

    This is why I stan for her!

    I can’t say it enough, this TwoEleven album is incredible. It’s filled with so many great songs that’s packed with emotion and meaning! I’m just pleased that Bran could deliver an album that can touch the work she’s done on her first three. Bottom line, I’m proud of Brandy! I care about sales, but I care way more about her reputation as an artist. As far as I’m concerned Bran is showing me great consistency (artistically speaking). She’s a real musical treasure. Btw, She looks really good!

    Love Brandy…Love Two-Eleven. Hope she continues to promote this album and will not make us wait too long for the next album.

  27. MUSICHEAD January 6, 2013

    I hope the label has not shut her album promo down because she is certainly due for a third single.

    Brandy is an incredible vocalist. TGJ should post her live performance of Brokenhearted on BET from 1995. Classic!

  28. OMG Just Google Kelsnetwork and see what happens! January 6, 2013

    beautiful vocals…..she sang from her soul…..just beautiful

  29. IDK January 6, 2013

  30. Beyoncé_thatNumberOne_NewNew January 6, 2013

    Love the new album it’s cute brandy this just may be her yr lol no shade !!

  31. JER January 6, 2013

    I guess I missed the memo where “Put It Down” put Brandy back on the map. I don’t know what map that is, maybe a map to an old tomb buried under the sand where Brandy’s career is mummified in an old wooden casket.

    • MUSICHEAD January 6, 2013

      That would put her right next to yo mama waiting for her first of the month check for mental disability.

      How bout I draw you a map to the local testing center to get your GED?

    • Fierce P**** January 7, 2013

      ^Tell em! This nig never takes a day off from hatin. Smh.

  32. Dangerous January 7, 2013

    LMAO! @musichead

  33. SLAY HER January 7, 2013

    Brandy is OVER ! She’s ugly and her personality is fake as f***!

  34. Ugh January 7, 2013

    Put It Down wasn’t a hit anywhere so yall Brandy stans need to tell her to shoot for the stars.

    • mob January 7, 2013

      “Put It Down” was a amazing song & video for her. She came back after 4 or 5 years with banger. I don’t know what you are talking about?

  35. mob January 7, 2013

    She looks good as always. However, this song does little for me and I don’t care if Winnie The Poo or Honey Boo Boo wrote it! ijs 🙂

  36. Fierce P**** January 7, 2013

    Jazmine Sullivan’s new weight loss look good. Can’t wait to hear new music from her. Sorry, had to put that here since TGJ disabled the comments.

  37. Dev January 7, 2013

    The comments about Brandy’s looks are stupid! Brandy didn’t say her career was a model turned singer, and none the less her looks are between her and her fiance.

    Anyway, back to the music. Not my fav track but as ever Brandy’s vocals are solid. Brandy is one of the only artists who’s albums to me have all been solid

  38. Ken Dahl Love Jesus January 7, 2013

    Love this women.

    She sings from the inner depths of her uterus.

  39. DIOB January 7, 2013

    W.O.W. she is just…… wow. She did that and more. Great job Brandy. question? Has she always had this rasp to her voice. I havent really heard it until this video?

  40. ASIPOFBRANDY January 7, 2013

    loooovvvveeeeee it! and that is just rehersal!! yaaaassss Bran
