  13. RoyalKev January 19, 2013

    Powerful… It amazes me how candid Brandy is when she discusses her fears and insecurities. Besides her talent, that’s what I love about her. I saw her in ’06/’07 in Atlanta and I remember feeling like she loss her spark. It was all in her eyes. You ever see someone that was great that just didn’t believe it. Brandy’s face always tells on her. She was doing a show and also signing autographs afterwards. I wanted to find the words to tell her that she’s still a beast and that everything she’s accomplished during her career was truly enough! That’s all I wanted to say, but when I really like certain people it never comes out the way I want. I was approaching her doing too much, trying to be to smooth … Brandy noticed me though. I said hi to her and her mom (sitting beside her) and then echoed everyone that came before me: Brandy I love you! Your amazing! Sounding simple as hell … It was the most typical s*** you can blurt out. I left feeling like I didn’t do my job! Bran doesn’t know how Icon she is and how she changed music for me!

    I actually thought to myself that Bran would never get to that place of understanding how significant her place in history is as one of the modern mainstream superstars (you know, after the 80’s barrier breakers). I’m pleased with this Two Eleven era (and it has nothing to do with sales or hits). I’m happy because Brandy received so much love that was overdue and she’s continuing on with her legacy of almost 2 decades after finding a way to reinvent herself. She’s still relevant and that’s all that people who were great need to strive for!

    Sorry for the essay!

    • MUSICHEAD January 20, 2013

      I agree with you 100%. People can’t see your worth if you don’t believe it yourself. I haven’t met her in person yet (for some reason I keep running into Ray J over and over but no Brandy lol) but those are along the lines of what I will tell her when I see her.

    The only trouble with being a big fan of someone like brandy/rihanna/mariah etc, is these docs come out and most know it all. The hardcore need something new!

      F**

  27. Masterpiece (Beyonce’s Weave) January 20, 2013

    After Full Moon (my fav album from her), her career didn’t go anywhere, so why are people treating her like she was some heavyweight RnB Diva? She wasn’t, she was so so, moderately successful. She wasn’t a heavy weight and judging from Two Eleven, never will be.

    • Bran Star January 20, 2013

      Because she was one of the first black t*** pop stars to have such a big brand. She had a big impact on pop culture in the 90s. She was one of R&B’s leading ladies among Aaliyah and Monica. That surely should count for something.

      Sure, she doesn’t have the same commercial success from then but you have people praising and mentioning her musical and vocal abilities post Full Moon, so that keeps her relevant. She’s been in this business for almost 20 years, and she’s not going anywhere anytime soon.

      Every artist has peaks and valleys in their careers, no one stays on top forever. Declines are inevitable, and you don’t have to be an industry heavy-weight to have longevity.

      • RymeReason January 20, 2013

        Let them know.

    • truth(slayer of icki funky ass stans B****!!) January 20, 2013

      H** just bcus u dont like her music anymore dont mean other feel like u. How many cd did U sale

    • RoyalKev January 20, 2013

      C’mon, moderately successful? Her first two albums sells 4+ & 5 million in the U.S. alone, she plays the lead in the most watched made for TV movie (cast as the first African American Cinderella), wins over 100 industry awards, responsible for a record-breaking single (Boy Is Mine) that slayed for 13 weeks (with only 7 songs in the history of music recording staying on top longer), joins a block busted horror film chain (I Now What You Did Last Summer), has a sitcom series built around her that aired for 6 seasons, had dolls made in her image, numerous endorsements deals (from Cover girl to Guess) and performed everywhere (Billboard, MTV, American Music Awards, Emmys, Divas Live – when it was important, etc ), wins a Grammy … and this is moderate? Whether you like Bran or not, she was the first modern day diva’s to have it like that and be that “it” girl. Everyone knew Bran and moderate was not a part of the vocabulary when it comes to discussing her.

      • RoyalKev January 20, 2013

        *I Still Know What You Did Last Summer

      • Masterpiece (Beyonce’s Weave) January 20, 2013

        I still know what you did last summer was not a blockbuster hit and 4-5 million is nothing to brag about in the 90s, it’s like selling 800K today.

        In the 90s, black sitcoms were a brand and anyone could have a sitcom in that age, so no, her resume still isn’t that impressive considering the time she was in.

        Toni Braxton has two Diamond albums, where are Brandy’s??

      • Yolo January 20, 2013

        Honey thats 4 to 5 million in the US alone. Her second album sold 17 million WORLDWIDE! Whether its the 90s or not 4 to 5 million IS NOT moderately successful especially for a BLACK TEENAGE girl who didnt sell s** and wasn’t your typical AMERICAN BEAUTY!

      • Yolo January 20, 2013

        Toni Braxton has 2 8x platinum albums!! And Toni’s audience was Adult Contemporary

      • truth(slayer of icki funky ass stans B****!!) January 20, 2013

        @masterhoe b**** 4-5milli is alot ANYTIME! u sound like u look…like a silly h**

      • RoyalKev January 20, 2013

        That’s not 4-5 million on one go around … That’s 4 million plus AND then 5 million (plus) in the U.S. alone (with her first two albums). I’m not sure why Toni Braxton was mentioned, but she was amazing as well (in fact her and Bran’s worldwide sells for both their first 2 projects were very similar).

        There were a few artist that may have snagged a sitcom during the 90’s ( or ’00’s even), but that doesn’t mean that each one of them were as successful as Brandy with her series. Moesha went on to become one of the greatest hit shows over the course of the network’s entire run.

    To the haters, because she hasn’t been a sheep and done dance/RNB she’s a flop. Oh how little you know,

  31. antertain January 20, 2013

    Love that she understands herself and her gift fully NOW.
    Took her a while to really know that but she’s a special talent that has brought so much to not only the urban scene but pop culture(sitcoms, movies, talent show judge, awards and hot music)

    She don’t nor didn’t need to be your fav for you to recognize she a had the mid 90’s on LOCK with all she was doing in and out of music.

    Brandy, she not only a star but a LEGEND.

    (sidenote: As Monica my fav I’m trying to show its ok to really appreciate Brandy for who she is)

    • MITCH January 20, 2013

      Yes Monica and Brandy fans need to UNITE for the sake of good music?

  33. MADAME PEPSI January 20, 2013

    Four years ago, a surprise performance by Beyonce at President Barack Obama’s Neighborhood Ball became arguably the most talked-about musical moment of the inauguration festivities.

    At the Jan. 20, 2009 event — broadcast on ABC and watched by 12.6 million U.S. TV viewers according to Nielsen — she serenaded the newly-elected president and first lady Michelle Obama with a cover of Etta James’ “At Last.”

    Video clips of the performance went viral on YouTube, other TV networks played it repeatedly, and sales of the song immediately surged. Beyonce’s already-released cover version earned a 1,318% sales gain according to Nielsen SoundScan in the tracking week ending Jan. 25. The tune sold 31,000 downloads that week — up from just 2,000 the week previous. (Her version of “At Last” had been released late in 2008 on the “Cadillac Records” soundtrack. She co-starred in the film as James.)

    Beyonce is back again for Obama’s second inauguration, though this time she’ll be performing at the Ceremonial Swearing-In Ceremony on Jan. 21. Also on hand for the ceremony: Kelly Clarkson and James Taylor.

    Obama’s first inauguration was a major TV event. The Jan. 20, 2009 ceremony was watched by 37.8 million U.S. TV viewers — the second-most-watched presidential inauguration after President Reagan’s first in 1981 (41.8 million). Leading up to that were an array of concerts and balls, broadcast on HBO and Disney Channel, all of which earned many millions of viewers and boasted A-list talent.

    Brandy is really making the little ppl on here mad because she want go away….Brandy looks like she is twenty-one. Someone on here said that she is not a heavy -weight get the f*** out of here! This woman was singing old h*** under the bus at 13. PPL wanna call her flop and she’s got a 20 year career that she started as a child….I guess they want her to get ass shots and taking pictures with blunts and 40’s in her hand, get the f*** off her! Brandy the actress, the singer, the artist, the producer, the mom….Brandy did need a group to push her talents to the front, she did by herself! She has raw talent and the industries artist today knows that! The problem is that ya’ll haters are worried about your favs being beaten…But, Brandy is 33, and looks 20! So, I am sorry she’s gone be around!!!!!!!!!!!Pay close attention!
