love Brandy <3
I love Brandy! I love Monica too but she seems to have had a bad attitude back then.
THE WAY SHE RAN ON THAT STAGE ?
#GHETTO
monica just real thats all…people prefer u too be fake and kiss ass, u can say alot about monica but one thing for sure that girl aint no phony!! Like it or hate it.
I thought “When I Was 17” focused on celebs who weren’t famous when they were 17. We already knew you when you were 17, Brandy….
well damn!!! lol
i absolutely love this episode. I love Brandy and the fact that she loved MJ. the fainting part was funny and running on the stage too. at least she knew she was wrong for that.
Love her!!! We are awaiting your return my Queen!! Your throne is waiting!
The way she ran onto that stage!!!! OMG!!! Funniest s*** I’ve seen all day. Monica was totally thinking to herself as she gracefully walked on the stage that night, “sigh, Brandy is corny as f***.”
SLAYING SINCE 17!!!
LMAO this was so good, LOL at her impression of Monica and running on stage.
Bored of that pic though.
lol brandy was being a staight n**** at the end lmbo she was wild’n!! imma do the same lol
@YELLOW I CO-SIGN CUZ THIS B**** BEEN SLAYING SINCE TENDER AGE OF 15, 17 SHE ALREADY DONE HIT MOVIES ETC.
HATAZ STAY MAD MAD MAD…LMAO
I wished youtube was there then…lmao!!
So through Bran, R Jay got to see MJ right?..smh..lol
Sadly, and I’m truly sad to inform this but the time line is completely off. Brandy won a grammy when she was 20. In February of 2000. She recorded Never Say Never when she was 18. However she was nominated for a Grammy when she was 17 for Sittin up in my room. And there’s more… Im just sayin…
LMAO. Too funny…
funny i was JUST thinking bout the 90s a few mins ago
this really takes me back 🙁

YAS! I LOVE BRAN! 😀
I love Brandy as an artist! … but I just love the person she’s grown into , I think she’s hilarious. I don’t know what had me laughing more, fainting in front of MJ or the Grammy win. Aaaaw, my Brandy was just so innocent back then! 🙂
*Updated*ThePagewithroyalkev.b*******.com(…Still a place for EVERYTHING! )
I liked the video. Tired of Ray J. For once, can we get a Brandy interview without Ray-J speaking throughout the interview. I also think she was wrong about her age when she won the grammy. I have not done the math, but since Brandy was born in 1979 she would have been 20 in 1999. So if the grammy awards were in February 2000 she definitely would have been either 19 or 20 by then but no younger than 19.
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Bran believe me cuz I would’ve done the same or even worse to win a grammy at 17..lol!
@Jasmine, the whole Never Say Never era started when she was 17 hence incoperating the grammys into it make no difference cuz we actually know about it so stop it already.
BTW she was also nominated for grammy when 17 so what difference does it make???
WHY WAS GAY-J IN THERE? HE STILL RIDING HER COAT TAILS I SEE SMH. SUCH A ATTENTION W****
@Jasmine, the programme is called when I was 17 so what do you expect her to say, when I was 30??????? #DeafDumb.
@tryme, he is her brother and they’re very close from the get go so there’s nothing you can do about it so they say…’blood is thicker than water’. Maybe you haven’t got that relationship with your family but it doesn’t mean you should be mean to others that have.
B****** y’all need take a seat already!
I LOVE ME SOME BRANDY..YAYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!
lmao like crazy. Oh how time flies so quick when you least expect it, right? I miss the 90’s 4ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YES BRAN BRAN BROCKAH, GIMME MY GRAMMY.LMAO
@ B ROCKAH STAN 4EVA
Don’t get me wrong. I want to marry Brandy! But the facts were exaggerated. The story included a 4 year span of things in her life. Understand friend I’ve been follow her closely. I ain’t new this…I’m true this. Come on now Jigga. Clueless and the Never Say Never era were like 3 years apart. And you can run and tell that. All my facts can be check on IMDB, Wikipedia…and the list goes on. Now put your hands down.
Love me Some Brandy!

_________________________________________
She was 17 in 1996 while Clueless was still a big hit , so it makes sense.
Anyway,she doesn’t have a lot to say, she was a big star already at 17, she can’t tell us all the dirty, like what went wrong with Kobe. He took her to his prom but they also went to movie premieres together so something did happen between them.
I miss Brandy.
I need a Never Say Never Pt. 2
The end was pure hilarity. Brandy acted a straight up fool. And Monica was a b**** back then huh?
and people have the audacity to call Monica ghetto? umm ok. I beg to differ. Clearly Monica is the one with class
Damn, why does Ray J have to ride on Brandy’s coattails every f****** place!! For once, keep that flop off her media pieces. If it wasnt for Brandy, Ray Gay would be no where. Oh, and first time Brandy met Whitney she was 15, not 17. The clip is on youtube.
Monica is the one with class, Brandy is ghetto and still is today. Monica is still classy, even her reality show was classy and intelligent.
wow its a shame she peaked so early in her life.
Brandy is so funny! Love her spirit, but she needs to hurry with that new album of hers.
To set the record straight, just because Brandy ran does not classify her as ghetto. Brandy will forever be known as ‘America’s Sweetheart’.
@B Rockah Stan 4eva
R U on twitter or facebook?
LOVE Brandy! I thought it was hilarious when she said that she ran up on stage to get the Grammy! Can’t wait to hear what new music she’s coming out with next.
That was soooo great!!!
girl, you MoNIGGA stans need to SIT. Everybody knows GLOCKica is the hoodrat of the century, just listen to “sideline ho”.. but I better not say any of this too loud because I don’t wanna get stabbed!!
Keep it cute, that’s all I’m saying. Brandy was not being ghetto, if anything that was just a little immature!
Monigga? Glockica? Lmao omg
Dead @ the math being all wrong. I guess 17 was a boring year for her. She was basically doing Moesha…schooling…and recording NSN guess she had to exaggerate it lol
I’m made Brandy tried to make Mo out to be some Queen. F*** outta here with that.
ACTUALLY THE GRAMMY THEY WON WAS FEB 1999 NOT 2000
AND BEYSTAN HOW WAS IT BORING AND SHE WAS KILLING @ ANY AGE FROM 15-20?
MONICA CAN THANK BRANDY FOR HER GRAMMY 🙂
Judge & Jury
Brandy is Ghetto and Monica is classy? REALLY?
Who was running around sleeping with Rappers and basketball players?
Who walks around carrying guns in her pocket book?
Who has and had Tattoos at 17 covering them up?
Who threw her fiance a party at a strip club?
who Argues on twitter ever time someone clowns her?
Who got a diamond in her teeth?
MONICA IS THE GHETTO ONE… Brandy has always carried herself with class…. running up on stage doesnt make you ghetto, she was excited, that was HER SONG.
This is like whenever Britney is discussed Gaga or Beyonce will always be mentioned along with Rihanna. Brandy loves Monica & she always keeps it real. No need for this stan war bs
^I know, this is always going to follow them the rest of their careers. I must say that Monica fans are usually the ones taking shots at Brandy. If it happens the other way around, you’re getting cursed out! Don’t dare say you don’t like a Monica song or that it’s boring… It’s an issue! I know we have Tcd, but some Monica fans are way 3x as bad!
*Updated*ThePagewithroyalkev.b*******.com(…Still a place for EVERYTHING! )
@royalkev both sides are extremist to me
@ Kay, I am a Brandy fan so I could be biased. I usually am good with not letting that cloud my judgement though. I’m even hard on some of my very favorite artist ever… but I just noticed that with the Monica group. It feels like their always proving something. I guess, we have our stuff with us too, but I feel like were more laid back.

BTW MONICA STANS….(KANYE SHRUGGS)…..LMDAO…..NUF SAID!!!
Y’all really are pathetic. Some of y’all are grown & y’all sitting over here arguing about 2 artist. in which one has nothing to do with this video at all. I mean seriously… come on. Respect Brandy, & make comments relevant to her post, not everything other than past & not related to that.
BTW this was when grammy was earned this these days when grammy is literally bought.
Chyle please, Monica Ghetto? What Brandy did was some ghetto and straight up n**** s***. Running up there like her life depended on it. Brandy stans, is she signed to any label yet? Last time I checked, Monica has never been dropped…
Ghetto Brandy let’s see, sleeping w/ Ma$E, Wanye Morris, Ol Boy from Onyx… She was a known h** in the industry.
The Boy Is Mine would have none been anything if Monica wasn’t on the record.
OMG! I love Bee that’s my girl! Been down with her since ’90 ! #TREAMBRANDY 4 ever!
Brandy and Monica fans please why get on here and spread negativity? Brandy and Monica are good friends and have been over their rough patch for years so why get on here and try to commence to keep it going? It’s pointless cuz while you guys are still on here arguing they are still collecting checks:) They were and always will be your favs idols and they continue to shine a positive light on African American women in the industry case closed!
lmao @ monica stan trynna cause trouble cuz this case should be closed already…lol
This was cute. Loves B-Rocka. And yes, this is when a grammy actually meant something. SMH
