There is no better way to kick off 2011’s From The Vault series than with a song from Brandy. Coincidentally, ‘What About Us?’ was released as the 1st single from the R&B singer’s ‘Full Moon’ LP on January 1st 2002 – New Year’s day.
The track, which was co-written by Brandy herself and produced by her longtime collaborator Rodney Jerkins, peaked at #7 on the Billboard Hot 100 and at #3 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. ‘What About Us?’ performed even better in the UK, climbing to #4 on the Official UK Singles Chart.
At the time of its release, this video was one of the best of Brandy’s career. Edgy and artistic, the visual distanced the singer from the relatively safe and innocent appeal of her earlier projects, demonstrating an artist who was ready to take the next step in her career.
The entire ‘Full Moon’ album illustrated Brandy’s continued growth as a vocalist as she continued to explore the full extent of her brilliant contralto. Hopefully, she can once again make music like this because if she wants to return to prominence in 2011 she has to deliver nothing but the best.

She will do great this year! I know it!
Brandy is an amazing singer and I want to see a strong comeback but I don’t see it happening!She has talent but she can’t compete with the likes of Beyonce, Gaga, or Britney if she was to drop anything this year!Brandy bores me anyway!Yawns
No, this single was released in late 2001, I remember, because that was when she had just ended her Moesha show to return to her music career. Wikipedia has it wrong.
Brandy is farrrr from boring! Have seen any of her conerts live?
I will always love Brandy. She is an amazing singer, and delivers nothing but the best of music.
BRANDY FOREVER 🙂
I love this woman! I remember losing my mind when I first saw this video because Brandy was just starting to show more of her edge and it complimented the sass you would hear in her songs. I was sold on this after seeing this video! She’s so hot and glossy in the red! It’s funny this is posted, I was just talking about how her this evening and I always give her credit for having the most impressive albums. I think she’s 1 of the few artist around today that make the most listenable music that you can play from start to finish. I can’t wait to experience that feeling once again with the new cd on the way!
yess i f**** with brandy she was doing her thing until she got knocked up and s*** but i know talent can always come back so im waiting to see what she brings this year
I AGREE with TRENT! BRAN BRAN gotta BRING IT!!!! I believe she will. I always loved Bran Bran since day 1. I love her vocals and harmonies. She is sooo talented and I hope she gets the same treatment as her other half MONICA got. A fair chance at Radio and Video outlets. #TEAMBRANDY Let’s go!!!
Thanks thatgraprjuice for posting this. I have to totally agree with you the full moon album by far has been brandy’s best work from lyrical content to production and vocal performance. This album was way ahead of its time. In order for Brandy to be successful again she has to produce music with the same quality as fool moon or better and from the producers I hear she is working witg for the next album, I believe its l safe to say that she is heading in the right direction. Brandy I am rooting for you you can do it!!!!!
When You Touch Me is my favorite song from that album! And whoever said Brandy was boring, go look up her Human concerts on Youtube. She dances and sings, all while sounding great! She is a beast. I do understand that people are interested in get up and dance, bubblegummish music, though. It will be hard for Brandy to get back on top with Beyonce and Rihanna around, even though she is obviously a better vocalist.
This is my #3 favorite Brandy Song of all time behind ‘Have You Ever’ and ‘Talk about our love’.
I hope she does well. I like to think as albums as school projects – you have to have the information and the presentation. The music videos, packaging, and promotional campaign (presentation) are almost, if not more, important than the music itself (information). Lots of artists can disappoint in either presentation or information because of who they are.
For Brandy to make a full comeback, however, she needs to BRING IT on both the presentation and information fronts aka both the music videos, packaging, promo campaign and the music itself.
@SpunkyPoop
I totally agree. Her earlier albums and then Afrodisiac were good but Full Moon was amazing.
@Rihanna4ever
I love the analogy! 😀
I hope she makes a few songs like Human, though. She acts like it’s her worst material just because it flopped. It wasn’t a bad album at all. It was actually, in my opinion, her second best.
If anything, she should be ashamed of Afrodisiac.
*YAWN*
*YAWN*
*YAWN*
*YAWN*
*YAWN*
Is this what all the Beyonce Haters use to drag the stans with?? A Alien looking Harmoprhadite that sounds like Kelly Rowland under water??
Beyonce Shits all over this b**** since 97. NEXT ==>>
Oh & I forgot… FLOPPPPP!!
@ TC;D, Where you at h**?? LMAO
Brandy is an amazing artist from day one. I actually love the fact that her daugther has made her an even better person; motherhood made her grow up and mature. The best thing about her is that while everbody is trying to go with europop and all that, Brandy is staying true to herself with R&B, she’s not going there.
Full Moon was AMAZING and I agree with @RIHANNAFOREVER, Human was very consistent, one flawless album, regardless of sales. I actually love Afrodisac for the most part, (except for Who I Am, and some of the later tracks)
I hope she can make that comeback that she wants sales and all and make the greatest videos of hers that can compete with What About Us! #Brandy2011
& DEATH @ the ones who call her the “VOCAL BIBLE”
Deceased http://i53.tinypic.com/21dfw43.jpg
@SDW2011
LOL, I just thought Afrodisiac was messy. She should really make an album that has modern elements but also elements from all of her earlier albums. It really would make it a well-rounded record.
LOVE BRANDY Hate this song though, i liked full moon, like this, from this album
@RIHANNAFOREVR
Nicky has been blocked.
Brandy will see success with her next album period. She is a great artist and good singer. She has talent. She will do well.
Really has one of the most incredible voices on the planet!
People also should understand that her music is far different from Rihanna’s and Beyonce’s. She has nothing to do with them. If her music is great she’s gonna be set. heres room for all. They each have their own fans.
@S*** wtf is ur problem?? Brandy paved the way for that fake b****.. Sure beyonce can sing and dance and act (LOL) but she will NEVER will have a solid album such as full moon. And dont bring sells n s*** into this cause sells dont even matter. Beyonce cant reach into peoples heart with her YODELA HE WHOO screaming ass. and before you call Brandy boring remember she didnt have to use a group to gain success.
BRANDY>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Beyonce
Brandy sucks and can’t sing. Give me Monica over here every day of the week.
@AnthonyTheGreat
Really? Wow.
@4EverBrandy
Ignore S***. It’s a troll that hates anything that isn’t Beyonce.
@loverofmusic: I liked Full Moon, but I still consider Afrodisiac one of the best contemporary R&B albums. It has a variety of themes, from relationship-focused to more introspective. The production is dynamic and layered when needed, or poignantly simple (“Say You Will” remains one of my favorite examples of scaled-back beats in favor of showing off the voice). And it had everything, from straight R&B to club beats to hip-hop to semi-trance. I was really disappointed it didn’t get the financial success it deserved. Hope everyone will try a listen, even if they don’t buy!
@4ever BRANDY
Um, ALL 3 of Bey’s albums are Great & Solid (& highly UNDERRATED if you ask me). & what Brandy is to you, Beyonce is to me & MORE. Her voice is my “Vocal Bible” not Trandy though shes OKAY too. 🙂
& Brandy opened ZERO doors for Beyonce, they came out at around the SAME time so WTF are you talking about?? & Bey been shitting all over Brandy since 97.
http://i41.tinypic.com/ncihdl.jpg
Brandy fans are just… http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lcmuffI3uM1qcnoaro1_500.gif
DIL >>> Trandy’s WHOLE ENTIRE Singing Career!!
Just cause Trandy’s music has great PRODUCTION & LAYERING most of the time, her albums still just doesnt compare to her other R&B counterparts. Bey’s music has STYLE, LIFE, RAWNESS & RAW ENERGY while they both have the DEPTH & SOUL.
I like her HARMONIES though, they’re great.
@S*** thats a bold face lie..Brandy was out WAYYYY before beyonce was even thought about… So yes and how come Beyonce PRAISED brandys voice… Brandys range is untouchable.. For beyonce all u have to do is scream into a microphone and theres your range. Brandy is REAL R&B… Beyonce is that POP & B thats why she may have a bigger fanbase or whatever. U just sit on that Fake booty pad chick’s ass to much… everytime isee u trash somebody else BUT beyonce.. Chick dont even write her own s***… something brandy does..
^^^ Oh please, your just a PRESSED Hater & you have every right to be. It cant feel too good to know that The Queen’s 1ST Album shits on Brandy’s ENTIRE DISCOGRAPHY!! Beyonce shits on Trandy in EVERYWAY & that includes in ACTING!! 😆
Bey’s VOICE >>> Trandy’s 🙂
Trandy has no Range, Just your same ole vocals sounding like she has a cold as usual, IS SHE SICK??
^^^ Trandy’s Voice possesses a lot of qualities (both good & bad) but POWER & RANGE isnt one of them. Beyonce shits on her in Almost ALL Vocal Attributes.
Haters to the left! Brandy will do more than great this year and I know this new album of hers will be added to my collection of gems. Also, for those who aren’t that fond on ‘Afrodisiac’, it’s actually one of the best albums of the last decade. Who do you know can mix R&B with a Coldplay inspired song and make it a freaking masterpiece? No one, but Brandy!
^^^
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7F33lyU6lyc
Trandy could Never…
Haters, what if I told yall this game is played?
come damn on B’rocka.. snatched my bang wig clean off this morning!
I loooooove me some brandy
and yes my b**** needs to return people talking about real music brandy hands down makes the BEST rnb songs like for real.
I consider her voice to be better then beyonce’s because when I hear brandy sing she touches me beyonce on the other hand……. we aint here for loud screaming if you gone scream you better scream with soul (good example xtina) brandy keeps it smooth and sharp none of that messy s*** and her harmonies are just….. no words can discribe this b**** is BAD!
Sales don’t mean nothing she will still be one of the best female rnb singer’s out there. And what yall talking about afrodisiac have yall heard I tried that track has to be one of her best track’s ever created brandy just get’s slept on and human was also a good album
it is true she is one of the few artist you can listen to their album from start to finish without skipping the power of bran bran! I hope she does good this year because she has a lot of competition but if she brings out great music the true fan and people who love real music lovers will buy her album so it all good!
TO THE UN-EDUCATED FANS OF THEM OTHER CHICS….
BRANDY STARTED HER MUSIC CAREER AT THE AGE OF 14/15 I993/4 AND HAD AN IMENSE CONTRIBUTION TO MUSIC…SHE REPRESENTED FOR YOUNG BLACK GIRLS EVERYWHERE THROUGH HER SOULFULL AND TECHNICAL RANGE EVEN AT THAT AGE.

This was such a great comeback…it had huge impact and this is what she should strive for…but even bigger! Hit us with something fast bran! We cant wait much longer!
lol@RihannaForever, I like the way you ignore that delusional stan creeping up to stir it up. Brandy has nothing to do with your fave whatsoever so take a seat or betterstill transfer your misery esle where, Boo.
Hater gonna stay mad this year cuz B..Rockah is back on the grind………..period!
@Truthteller…well what can I say except you’ve taken the wind out of my sail and well said.
BTW a dancer/rapper is also included in her super talented gifts….lol!
I mean what do ppl achieve comparing Brandy as if she has nothing to do with the industry?? Brandy is IMHO is a global superstar that everyone always checking for her due to the impact she made at that tender age so what your problems, delusional stans??
Brandy is and will always remain a bigger part in the industry no matter what so go on and stay mad for life cuz she isn’t going any where.
Brandy gon slay!
@ANTHONY THE GREAT
How do you know Nicky is being blocked. I hope not cause I liked her post as they were quite entertaining.
This blog without Nicky will be boring.
BRING THE REAL NCKY BACK!!!!
BRANDY, MONICA AND AALIYAH WERE THE EARLY PIONEERS OF R’N’B SO DESERVE MORE RESPECT. THEY MADE RNB HUGE AS IT WAS REALLY DIFFICULT TO BE SUCCESSFUL BACK THEN. TODAY ARTIST HAVE IT MUCH MORE EASIER AS RNB AND HIP HOP HAVE NOW MAINSTREAM APPEAL. SO DO NOT BRING SALES INTO IT AS THEY HAVE ACHIEVED QUITE LOT. IN EUROPE AND THE REST OF THE WORLD URBAN MUSIC KIND A EXPLODED IN THE EARLY 2000.
Music as a whole has changed over the past few years, it has become very pop/dance dominated with the females wearing little to nothing, if Brandy sells it will be due to a change in sound for her, a change in sound for the industry, a core fan base or she’ll do what fantasia, Monica or some of the other r&b artists have done last year and sell well.
I think it’ll be a good album none the less
Omg I didn’t know the song went to #7!!!
@ the homosexual Kev, I know Monica’s stale ass isn’t being brought into this? Brandy’s voice is unique and has many different layers. To be honest, I think her style and approach to singing is for those who really like voices with character and technique. You don’t strike me as someone whose very intelligent, so your taste is probably similar to what influence most of your hoodrat lowbudget friends and family. For every one word Brandy uses, Monica annoying has 10 riffs for. She wasn’t even able to sing “The Boy is mine” how Brandy wanted her too. I’m sure she had no idea of how to follow Brandy because she doesn’t like the typical way of singing she has very usual runs. Anyway, stay pressed! Brandy definitely can do her job in her sleep, where I’m sure your earning pay in yours.
I never listened to much Brandy, but I was always fond of this song. I was ten when it came out.
And I agree with Rihanna Forever, good marketing is just as important as the music itself, because the success of an album does largely rest on how it is marketed. I think that logic applies to any product that is being sold to the public. BTW, I like the school project analogy, RF. 😉
Also, is it true that Psycho Nicky’s been blocked?
Bran Bran, I loved this song, the video, the album, & the era. Brandy is truly an artist as well a intricate vocalist & writer!
@ anthony the great, shut the f*** up
Cant wait for new brandy music this year shes going to slay 🙂
BRANDY! This was my jam im bout to go find my fulll moon album right now, I want brandy to come back!
i love brandy and her music seems very real and connected , if that makes sense, i really wish s*** didnt attack her, now it’s a brandy vs beyonce situation, what happens to ppl who appreciate both(like moi),
i was expecting to see that lowlife TC;D attacking beyonce more and praising brandy less

1st off Loved this video by Brandy she manage to be s*** yet classy all through out the video and she brought a different sound to r&b world this song was released..
Now Brandy shits farts stools all over Beyonce don’t get me wrong Beyonce’ is good singer and she can perform but she her music does nothing for me.. When Brandy sings she touches the inner core of the heart she sings with so much emotion and passion that it’s undeniable you feel everything that what real singer is someone who can move you by there voice. She has one of the most unmatches voices in today’s music that so many people try to imitate but never can get it. Beyonce’ screams and yodels to much for me I Can’t… She is a powerhouse but Brandy can go just as high you just don’t know it yet but with this new album you will SHE IS A FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH BEST BELIEVE..

Just so that everyone knows, TC;D is actually Psycho Nicky. It has accidentally revealed itself to be TC;D on a prior occasion before (check the old posts that mention Beyonce vacationing with Jay-Z, that’s where you’ll see the psycho revealing itself)
Some people on her are idiots! Why cant you make a point without being abusive, homophobic and rude? Do you think the artists you stan for are going to be interested in you and your views. Get a grip in 2011 people.
Proof: thatgrapejuice.net/2010/12/hot-shots-beyonce-jayz-tour-australia/
@S*** hush up Troll, Go comment on a old beyonce post or something… get off of Brandy if u dont like her so much why do u take the time to comment on a post about her?? u must LOVE her. Pathetic Beyonce stalker.
Brandy is a powerhouse, a force to be reckoned with. She is a young legend. I respect her hustle. She was working hard from the age of 13/14. She is indeed the Vocal Bible. She has again risen to the top with all the projects she was involved with last year. This year will be even better. Go B-Rocka!
Brandy fans are doing WAY too much. Brandy is a great artist, but she is in no way the “vocal bible,” I mean, snap out of it already. She has a HUGE hill to climb before she can reach some sort of prominence with her music. Her last two albums were huge failures in terms of sales and to top all that off, she hasn’t redeemed herself fairly quickly and has been gone from the forefront of music for more than 4 years.
And just for the record, Beyonce has become the standard in R/B. Just ask Brandy who stans for her.
@TC; D
When did Monica say she’ll never be as successful as Brandy? i’m a HUGE Monica fan and i’ve never heard her say that. And even if that was the case, Monica is at the top of R/B music right now and heading towards a possible Grammy wins come Feb. So that alone debunks the theory that she’ll never be as successful as Brandy, someone who isn’t even relevant in music anymore. Get real.
What’s a Brandy?
@MyNameIs, Brandy is an R&B/Pop singer-songwriter and actress who has sold 30 million albums world wide, had two no. 1 singles, five top 10 singles, and five top 40 hits on Billboard’s Hot 100. Also, to top it all off won a Grammy for Best R&B Performance by Duo or Group with Vocals for ‘The Boy Is Mine’. Get into her!
@Brill, I like Monica and all, but quiet as it’s kept, she’s sold 20 million albums world wide as oppose to Brandy’s 30 million.
Everybody, listen to @TrueBlue. TC;D is Nicky.
@TrueBlue
LOL, thanks. That analogy has been running through my head for the past few days for some reason. Also, I don’t know. Everyone’s been saying that and I haven’t seen one of its various names including Nicky (TheRealNicky, Nicky, Authentic-Nicky). However, when I contacted Trent on Twitter he said he didn’t block anyone.
I guess time will tell. The sad thing is that if Nicky was blocked, I’m sure it’d make ANOTHER e-mail account just so it could continue to troll TGJ. Never seems to end.
ROTFL………WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON ON HERE. I’VE BEEN AWAY FOR ABOUT A DAY AND Y’ALL KILLING OVER SOME DELUSIONAL UNEDUCATED B**** COMMENT. PLEASE IT’S A NEW YEAR, NEW BEGINING SO LET THE PEACE AND LOVE LEAD THE WAY AND SUPPORT WHOEVER YOU THINK YOU LIKE. THIS IS NOT SO HARD, IS IT??????
BTW AAWWWW THAT MY BRAN DOING HER THING AND SHE GON DO THE SAME IN TEH UPCOMING PROJECT.
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YO ALL, B******!!!!!!!
Hi there @NAS, you are so hot and cute. I need you to ride me like my bike…lol!
Haters stay mad!!!
Tristan,
Thanks for the intro sis, but i’m not here for what she did over 10 years ago. Let’s get into today.
@Truthteller please let them know! Shout out to the real Starz and forget all you bandwagoners that jump on whatever is “hot” at the moment. To all you haters in my Brandy voice ‘you need to give it up, had about enough” ! Brandy is the “Vocal Bible” and has been in the game for many years. Everything that Beyonce is doing Brandy has already done that and more so to all you youngins that will never understand the meaing of Real Music please sit cho asses down. Brandy is the real Queen Bee!
Sounds like brandy & her buddies r writing these comments because no one cares about brandy anymore & she no that # sorryitsthetruth
Brandy sucks ass, can’t sing to save her life, and her music is largely garbage. Her voice is not only whiny, but also sounds like her neck is being strangled. She peaked before she turned 21 and is long past her prime. Even Rodney Jerkins these days finds himself uninspired where Brandy is concerned. Like Janet Jackson, every few years she comes out with these desperate attempts to reclaim past glory that fail. The world stopped being interested in her over a decade ago. At least Monica can still come out with an album that gets noticed and embraced by urban music listeners, and played at black radio. Brandy is an all around washout. R&B/Hip Hop radio isn’t even big on playing her new, desperate s***. And Pop radio totally forgot who she was. Face it, she’s over. You can play her old CDs and pretend that it’s still 1998 if you want to, but the world has moved on.
And @TC;D what’s wrong with you are you crazy or something ? Sweetie take ur medicine & lay down ur not on her payroll or are you? Lol. # urpathetic
my mom bought me that single
GO BRANDY!!!!! Im rooting for you GIRL! Don’t let us down, with no water down music, now ya hear!!

@21 SHE WAS STILL DOING MOESHA (5/6 SEASON) AND PRODUCING THE SHOW….@21 UR FAV WAS NEVER NEAR THAT ACHIEVEMENT
@21 SHE WAS ACTING IN MOVIES….@ 21 UR FAV WAS??…
@21 BRANDY WAS ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR ARTISTS….SELLING BETWEEN 8-10 MILLI PER ALBUM…….@21 UR FAV WAS SELLING?…….
@21 SHE HAD WROTE AND PRODUCED MOST HER MUSIC & OTHERS……@ 21 UR FAV?…(DO NOT COUNT HE/SHE BUYING WRITING CREDIT)
@21 SHE HAD TOURED ALL OVER THE WORLD AND GAINED GREAT RESPECT WITH HER PEERS IN THE INDUSTRY……@21 UR FAV WAS GIRATING HER ASS TO THE TOP
BRANDY REACHED 30MILLI ALBUMS WITH JUST 3 ALBUMS…..HOW ABOUT UR FAV????
THE ONLY THING THAT SLOWED HER DOWN WAS THE BLESSING GOD GAVE HER OF MOTHERHOOD….AND THE TIME OUT SHE TOOK TO RAISE HER DAUGHTER PROPERLY

Also, I think there is something to be said for her talent when a rock guitarist praises her talent and actually calls her a goddess.
Oh yeah, and f*** Firefox.
^^^^ Whoops, wrong post. My bad.
THIS B**** NEEDS A S** TAPE TO SAVE HER CAREER! BRANU H** NEED A FACE LEFT CAUSE SHE IS UGLY AND ALWAYS BEEN!!!!
All those saying Brandy can’t sing know nothing about music! Her music and voice inspire so many people in the industry. Jazmine Sullivan, Dawn(who tries to copy Brandy’s harmonies), Chris Brown, Rihanna, Diddy, Kanye, John Legend. There is no one that even closely compares to this chicks voice! I get so emotional talking about it. I really do not understand how some of you can big up these artists that are not talking about nothing in there music. She speaks about real things, real feelings. She sings with soo much emotion. She is praised by the greats such as Whitney and Kim Burrell. She is one of the most inspiring vocalists period! The vocal bible.
LOL@Jahlal, I COULDN’T AGREE LESS!! IS THE NEW YEAR SO TRY AND BE NICE CUZ YOU MIGHT PROBABLY GAIN SOMETHING FOR YOUR LIFE…..LIKE BEING MATURED PERSON FOR STARTERS.
IS THE NEW YEAR PEOPLE SO LETS EMBRACED IT WITH FULL OF LOVE. SUPPORT AND BUY SONGS FROM THE ARTSIT YOU THING YOU LIKE AND THAT’S IT. YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE IMMATURE AND IGNORANT DICKHEADS CUZ THIS WILL ONLY TURN YOU INTO MISERABLE, BITTER AND ALL ALONE IN YOUR PATHETIC LITTLE LIVES.
BRANDY IS GLOBAL WHO HAS MADE A HUGE IMPACT IN THE INDUSTRY AND IF YOU DO A LITTLE RESERCH ALL WILL BE REVEALED.
POSTING NON-FACTUAL STORIES ON HERE ABOUT BRANDY WILL ONLY MAKE YOU LOOK AS STUPID AS YOURSELVES. NOTHING PERSONAL JUST SAYING…LMFAO!!
People get a life cuz at the end of the day Brandy will always win!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bran Bran is the best and do believe she will put all these B****** to rest this time around. Go Bran Bran!!!!!!
i still listen to this album and it’s one of my bestest.
Monica is a way better singer than Brandy.
yes we know monica has always been better singer than brandy and your point is???
I DONT KNOW WHY BUT IVE ALWAYS LIKED MONICA MORE!!!!
Brandy is played out. This whole last decade she’s released flop album after flop album, and now her only claim to fame is appearing on reality TV. “Brand Nu” is played.
Monica is a louder singer. I’ve never heard any singer say they were influenced by Monica’s voice. She sounds like a singer at every church. There is nothing special about her voice.
@Thatiam, thank you for clarifying what most of us have been thinking about all these years.
Brandy will always win so haterz stay mad and keep em coming…lol!
Ima be honest, I think that all of Brandy’s fans are wasting their time talking about how she’s going to make a comeback next year because Brandy fell off years ago, but she is talented. She has one of the most distinctive, unique, and beautiful voices in the music industry. Her harmonies are brilliant. I find it funny how when there’s a black singer mentioned, someone has always gotta bring up Beyonce’s stank ass. Beyonce is not the best singer ever! They are plenty of singers who sing better than her. They include, Mariah, Whitney, Aretha, Chaka Khan, Patti Labelle, Tina Turner, Toni Braxton, ever member from Envogue, ever member from SWV, Leona Lewis, Jennifer Hudson, Alexandra Burke, Brandy, and many more! You Beyonce stans are delusional! Brandy will always sing better than Beyawwnce… her voice is so weird. At times she sounds all deep and manly and other times she sounds like a high pitched little girl trying to sing.
@lola, just so you know nothing and I say notthing is impossible in life if you believe in it so have the firm faith in your life and you shall prosper no matter what life throws at you.
Happy New Year, spread the love and believe in your self.
@lola, you the kind of people that give up easily when the going goes tough. Please have some backbone for that’s the only way you can survive in this hard life.
Brandy all the way.
N*****…I listen the entire Full Moon album today!
Coincidence or not?!….I like all the album by Brandy and i love her so much….She makes me fly, everytime i listen her voice, and her songs!
This song SUCKS because i love the freaky beats by Darkchild, the independent anthem lyrics, and her sensual side on this video….for me, is one of the best by her!
I think Afrodisiac is the best album by her, because we got all the genres in the box, beautiful melodies songs, club bangers, real R&B, i love this album from the start to finish and i think she need to put out a new album with all these elements…i agree with @RihannaForever on the market side…..for me is very necessary this days, where real singers like Jazmine Sullivan needs to take a break from music…very sad
I used to love this song. I still have the album.
I’m just hoping that she lives more to her roots.
And hell, she knows how to play the piano well. She should try that in one of her songs as well.
There’s just so many musical talents in Brandy that still need to be discovered, because I’ll be damned if Brandy disappears from the world.
