People are trying to discredit Brandy & people are trying to discredit Monica, and for what??? Both are great! Let's not forget that they did each other a favor by doing that duet together.

Oh and it is true that Brandy is named as an influence to many of these artists out today. Rihanna said 'good girl gone bad' was influenced by brandy, she listened to brandy everyday while recording the album. I read that Chris brown likes brandy and told her he likes songs from her that haven't even been officially released...He listens to her leaked songs! Jazmine sullivan has talked about her in a few interviews.

And of course Monica gets credit for being one of the "realest b**ches in game' lol, two people who have come a long way and have a supportive friendship.
