New Song: Brandy – ‘Louboutins’

Published: Thursday 8th Apr 2010 by Sam

Some of you may remember Jennifer Lopezs ill-fated ‘comeback’ single from last year ‘Louboutins’. Well, as previously reported, the song was initially recorded by R&B star Brandy for inclusion on her forthcoming project; however, The-Dream penned track was left on the cutting room floor, thereafter being snapped up by Lopez.

In any case, Brandy’s version of the song – albeit unmastered and unfinished – has surfaced. While one would presume Ms. Norwood’s version would be better – which it is, her vocal trills, adlibs and whatnot, cannot take away the fact that the song just isn’t very good. Still, judge for yourself…

Hit or Miss?

    LMAO @ this version ! Jenny from the block can sing , really ! In the brandy’s version there is no bridge , background voice of the dream , No “watch me walk it out” ‘out the house” !

    I absolutely love Brandy…her voice, her look, and her delivery. However, this song suited J.Lo better.

    Sorry but Brandy’s version is better… 🙂

    Jennifer’s is too lighter… But Brandy’s is darker, deeper and heavier… Gets me in a trance… 🙂

  12. guerta ava April 8, 2010

    J Ho got it, it FLOPPED!
    She performed the song on the AMA’s, Do You Think You Can Dance? and the News Years Special and it still FAILED, FLOP, TANKED!

    Brandy’s unfinished and unmastered version sounds way better than JLO’s. Oh thank the soul that decided to leak it. I have been searching for it for months. Luv Brandy. Have been a fan of hers since she first came out and anything she sings, is an automatic hit. Any ney sayers were clearly born after 2000 and have no idea about the great talent that is Brandy. So freak off ney sayers. Thanks GrapeJuice for posting it. I’m officially not mad you guys anymore. LOL!

  16. chi09 April 8, 2010

    @C….. I totally agree only beyonce could bring this song alive, cause she would know what to do with it

  17. AalexisR (The Bahamas) April 8, 2010

    Sorry Brandy’s vocals just make the song way better. Even if it suited J. Lo better. Brandy’s is just making this song interesting again lol.

  18. Marcus April 8, 2010

    I STILL LOVE IT! Brandy sounds GREAT! J.LO sounded GREAT! I LOVE THIS TRACK!!!

  19. Gary April 8, 2010

    I never understood the flop of this song , it’s so damn catchy , it screams HIT! but never succeed … 🙁

  20. Kendra April 8, 2010

    Brandy’s version is better

  21. yonkel April 8, 2010

    brandy version is better !!! the real louboutin song !!! hahaha

  22. Rossi April 8, 2010

    People wake up! Brandy can kill anything J.Lo does. I guess no knew that Brandy wrote Ryde or die on one of J.Lo’s albums and still Brandy sung it better!!! If you listening to the chorus you still can hear J. Lo. Brandy’s voice texture is a lot better than J. Lo’s thin vocals if that.

  23. Sarah April 8, 2010

    THE TWO ARE GOOD ! BUT I LOVE J.LO VERSION MORE .

  24. Steffon April 8, 2010

    Brandy version is way better

  25. parisian girl April 8, 2010

    brandy version>>>>>

  26. JIG April 8, 2010

    YES BRANDY … def better!!!!!!!

  27. M. DOT April 8, 2010

    Brandy sounds better, but from a guy’s point of view…this song sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  28. PAPARAZZI 4423 April 8, 2010

    THIS SONG SUCKS ALL OVER BUT J.LO ROCKED IT FIT HER VOICE BETTER AND BRANDY IS FEELING HERSELF I DON’T LIKE THAT B****

  29. Roly April 8, 2010

    I had high hopes for Brandy’s version… but it was… boring. Vocally, she was fine… but the funny thing is that this track is more suited for JLo’s voice. Brandy sang a key below the track so her low vocal seemed to conflict w/ the key and tone of the track. Plus, she didn’t seem to have much “umph” in her singing. (in all fairness, i’m sure this is the unfinished, demo track but still…)

    Gotta say, JLo’s is much tighter… (even though Brandy has a far better voice)

  30. Filtro April 8, 2010

    J.LO VERSION IS BETTER !! BRANDY GO SING IN YOUR SHOWER LMAO !!

  31. Dan April 8, 2010

    Ok, people. Obviously this isn’t going to contain everything that is in the J.Lo version because this is UNFINISHED!!!! They decided not to use it so why would they complete it?? Get yo head on right

  32. aries_BLU April 8, 2010

    The chorus sounds almost the same vocal wise, but this song is just wack.

  33. kayla April 8, 2010

    Brandy voice kills but the lyrical content of the song is weak tyhis song just isnt good it fails but Brandy’s voice never does.

  34. crazyhorse April 8, 2010

    why does jlo always re-sing brandy songs remember “ride or die” from the REbrth era good song but sang by b first.

  35. cvt April 8, 2010

    YES B!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  36. boom.boom.PAW! April 8, 2010

    Brandy’s shower singing>>>>>>>>>>>>J HO’s singing PERIOD

  37. Slick April 8, 2010

    jennifer lopez version is wayyyyyyyyyyy better!

  38. Briej April 9, 2010

    You All Are Crazy Brandy Killed Jlo ANd the song isn’t even finished LOL

  39. glide85 April 9, 2010

    i wasnt really a fan of this song…untill brandy made it sound gorgeous

  40. StayAfro April 9, 2010

    Yeah This song hasnt got the brandyness that she brings to the song.. this is definitly unfinished.. Brandy comes harder than that on her songs.. so i im not even going to draw a comparison.. Cant wait for her next album tho and her show to come over the UK

  41. Anne April 9, 2010

    It’s a horrible song either way but if I have to pick one it would be J.Lo’s version. Brandy’s a better singer to me but she didn’t do much with this song. Then again the song doesn’t call for much real singing and doesn’t allow Brandy to reach her potential. I guess Brandy’s version would have improved if it was finished but I can only go by what I’ve heard.

  42. BEY STAN April 10, 2010

    wow brandy is slaying this s*** without trying… vocals are smooth buttery and effortless… yasss bran u better werk! the vid and choreo would have been legendary honey

  43. _NoBitchAssNess April 10, 2010

    AS MUCH AS I LIKE JLO… I LIKE BRANDY’S VERSION…

  44. Bran ‘nu April 10, 2010

    Brandy is Not even Going In On this Track and Yet She still Slayed!!

    J.LOW bye.

  45. katieLoulou April 15, 2010

    Brandys sounds like a goat no wonder jennifer keeps recording her tracks at least she brings them Justice Brandy is a hasbeen dropped twice in a short period of time by to record companys brandys a hasbeen through and through

    Jlo may not sing as well but she Flaws brandy in every shape and form frm been a performer and to dancing etc

    JLO always wins brandy needs to melt away just like a zlist were as jlo is alist and thats just how it is

  46. ed18 April 20, 2010

    Brandy’s version is better! I can’t believe people still considers JLo’S version better – she doesn’t even have her own style of singing……. her version has brandy written all over it.

    try listening to the original version of
    TORN DOWN and it’s album version see what i’m talking about.

    Brandy your the best!

  47. ladii music May 19, 2010

    ook well JLO shouldnt have ever began singing in the first place cuz her voice is horrible!! Brandy’s version is way better…when i heard JLO’s version i was so digusted and had to turn it off…Brandy def got this one in a bag and JLO needs to go somewhere and read a book because shes def not a singer…what are you stupid people thinking!!
