Over the years, Clive Davis‘ Pre-Grammy Gala has become as much of a must-see as the Grammy’s itself. A trend which looks set to continue this year with Brandy and Monica‘s stage return.
The powerhouse duo are set to take to the stage together at tonight’s event to perform their global smash ‘The Boy Is Mine‘, along with new single ‘It All Belongs To Me’.
Take trip down memory lane with the R&B diva’s below…
Needless to say, we can’t wait for this!
The pair’s older, wiser, and more seasoned vocals give the song a new dimension; one that we’re loving the sound of. Roll on tonight!
Your thoughts?
Brandy is SLAYING monica! She has really grown. I remember when the song was out I preferred Monica. But evident now that Brandy has surpassed her vocally!
TWO QUEENS!!! I cant wait to see these 2 hit the stage!
I LOOOVE YOU BRANDY!
Both ladies look amazing. What has gotten into brandy she has found her spark again/;… I LOVE HER AND THOSE VOCALS SMH GET IT BRANDY
Nobody surpassed anyone. It’s all in what you prefer
I prefer Monica’s vocals, and love them both
They have 2 different sounds and styles
This is a REHeARSaL
Monica’s ass is known for stealing the song- it sounds like she is saving her voice.
Brandy should’ve saved her voice too
This is going to be EPIC!
Follow @leon_da_don
WOW SO EXCITED! This is going to own.
Have tbh I think Monica sounded better, I prefer her vocals but they both slayed!
LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! THERE AREN’T WORDS!! I WOULD BE IN SHOCK IF I WAS THERE LIVE!!!
THEY BOTH ARE FLAWLESS!!!
GIRL, TO THINK BRANDY SLAYED MONICA IS A FAILURE….SHE WAS IN HER FIRST VERSE OF THE 2ND BAR STILL HITTING HIGHER RANGES
there’s a reason why brandy is called by many in the industry “the vocal bible” .. I mean so many younger artists from chris brown to melania fiona to jazmine sullivan to jojo to jennifer hudson to rihanna *side eye* LOL to trey songz to john legend to even usher has cited brandy as a vocal influence and even non rnb artist like the red hot chilli peppers and pink have expressed love for brandys voice.. Her harmonies and the timing of her ad libs are UNMATCHED in the industry and I say unmatched in every sense of the word … I love monica as a great singer the way I love many great singers I just put brandy on another level
how can anyone say who slayed who when they didn’t even really get into the song yet haha ooh u stans. I happen to prefer brandys voice just because I think its smoother and has a more beautiful rich husky tone to me than monicas who can come off a lil gratey sometimes but I still LOVE both these women 10 times more than any artist that’s out rite now. So glad they’re back and they better tour together! Cuz ill be front and center!
They sound good!
Brandy? a vocal bible? WTF….A MESS!
Brandy stans are so damn delusional
At least Brandy isn’t a one-trick pony as a singer….#Whoops
Brandy fans need to understand that only people that KNOW music know the greatness of Brandy’s voice. Regular folks don’t know how she’s just on another level. There must be a reason why the greatest singers admire her! Tonex, Stacey Barthe, nicknamed her the vocal bible. Esthero said if God could sing, she would sound like her. Tank called her the greatest R&b singer..period. Rihanna said her vocals are unmatched. Jill Scott, JHud, J.Sullivan, Dawn all are in love with the voice of Brandy. At some point, I hope the rest of the world opens their ears and finally hears. Brandy’s voice is sooo multi-dimensional and beautiful that you sometimes have to listen twice to understand it. She does things with her voice that makes you think your mind was playing games. She’s just that awesome!
Looking forward to them singing this.
Should have done this a lot more.
@@@At least Brandy isn’t a one-trick pony as a singer….#Whoops
burn……………………………..sometimes its best to shut the f*** up, and stay in ur lane…
yep brandy has been cited as the vocal bible for years……..its a shame she has to compete with basic broads, with average voices…
monica’s voice is also the truth,..but i always prefered brandy’s voice….
Can’t wait to see this………..
So happy to see these two ladies share the same stage again!
All I could do was smile through the video. Both singers have great voices. I honestly think Monica has the more powerful voice, but I prefer Brandy’s voice and how she uses it. Again…both great singers…just my preference.
B-Rocka 2012!
Brandy is a singer’s singer .. Only ppl who truely are into music recognize brandys talent and influence. But I noticed a bey stan call brandy stans delusional?? Uhhhh the jokes write themselves with that one and I LOVE beyonce but come on now I love beyonce but hate beyonce stans the way I do like rihanna but hate the navy .. Anyway to me monica is a great singer but brandy is THE TRUTH!
Brandy was about to slay that 2nd half. The girl is a beast. I love her! She always warms you up to a brillant climax. Brandy’s runs >>>>>>

I’m jus xcited that this year the world is gna be blessed with brandys talent. Brandy is so criminally underrated as a singer its not even funny!! No she’s no big belter but the things she can do with her voice is just crazy!! Actually to quote timbaland “its scary how versatile she is” .. I love monica too I actually liked her a lil more than brandy in the 90s but once brandy grew into that flawless rich tone it was a wrap!
BITCHHHHHHHHHHH Brandy was about to go the f*** IN as they cut that off. Her swag….she is NOT gonna play tonight. Yes f***** ma’am. I just got all my life
I think they both sound and look great. I feel they should do a joint tour. It would def sell. They both have great music catalogues separately. Plus they have this classic together and a new song together. It would be win win for both IMO.
Vocally I had always preferred Monica, until Brandy’s “Full Moon” joint. After that vocally I feel have been running neck and neck..
I truly hope the brandy stand go to the stores this time because your campaign is hilarious on websites. First your immature .these girls are TOTALLY different and a couple of these singer say they love brandy but they don’t call her. People love Monica’s authentic way of singing, and living . Brandys voice is nice and she can do ruins and harmonies but she will bore you to sleep. Your vocal bible has been dropped from labels and I’ve cold for quite some time. Not to mentions she’s a liar. Monica like Mary lives in the heart of The full grown woman thats been thru the struggle .Monica made plenty mistakes but she OWNS them and she sings effortlessly. Brandy looks like shes having a ceasar. Lol . Even the producer of this song gravitates to Mo and the throwback whitney run at the end that monica did said it all. These were just observations and facts from a woman far older than both ladies and what I love is that these girls are comparing themselves and bickering SO WHY SHOULD WE. I made valid points but it’s time to STOP the dumb ass who out sings who crap and enjoy the music. They’ve moved on we should too….
Brandy is just adorable! I love these two together!
@The_Glam_Guru, I think there was something wrong with Monica’s mic cause that chick can “SANG”! I do agree that Brandy has grown vocally! They both are very good singers!
@ Sharade True, Brandy has had a few label issues, but that came along after some very substantial success. Monica’s last era was successful, but her comeback album only went gold (let’s not over do it). Monica was never really equal to Bran on any level (except vocally – for some). I agree, Rico Love does seems to gravitate more towards Monica, but Timbaland and Darkchild worked with both ladies and always seemed to prefer Bran. They’ve continued to expand on their work with her. I personally think Rico is a bore and ‘Motivation’ was a fluke. I’m not taking anything away from what he’s accomplished, but him doing a Brandy track doesn’t excite me (I’m way more hyped about all the other producers on board). Anyway, I think both ladies have beautiful spirits and although I’m not into Monica it would be nice for them both to do well.

It was obvious even to baby blue that Brandy and Monica will be compared vocally on this song. I agree with most people who say brandy sounded better though Mo sounded good too. I will break it down for u on this song. First verse, Brandy realy put a strong foundation. She wraped it excellently with that pause giving me an early christmas present. Mo started verse 2 well bt then when she hit the high note, i felt no connection between her low and high. Another thing, i thought Mo’s vibrato was enhanced too little too much. In her highs, she sounded like she was singing from her nose wich made her sound strained. That piece she did at the end gave me life. I love them both. @ some Beyfan trying to undermine Brandy’s vocals, shame on you. Your favorite is not innovative with her voice at all. She is just plane and flat like the back of an oxen. Check ‘Slow Love’ by Bey and by Brandy and lets see if you wld still hv the same opinion. She lacks emotion and soul on ballads. She got that fierce attitude on her pop sound which is what i love her for, but overally she can’t be classed together with brandy when it comes to real r n b. I agree she got range bt thts tht and sometimes she sounds off key. So stop it. I still love Bey’s videos and live perfomances and of course that s*** ass body. She better in that respect.
I love Monica she is so talented! I cannot wait until tonight to watch them both perform this song!
Im sorry but dark child co signing you is HARDLY a bragging right . I’m saying at this point WE SHOULD ALL JUST ENJOY THE VOICES OF BOTH WOMEN. Dead with the comparisons. Ok brandy can sing she is a great pop star but Monica brings it home and closes it down. She’s a RandB star (which she prefers to be) she never aspired to the bubble gum way of life. I feel we will all take the joy and pleasure out of this song with the hughschool ISH …. They’re both great in their own rights. I saw a video of Whitney ALL in Monica’s face during that rehearsal. Reason, Monica’s voice speaks to the SOUL ,however I think the SONG IS GREAT AND BOTH WOMEN ARE GREAT #Team End the Beef
How did such a glorious moment, musical history turn into an argument about who is better.
The song slays! Both these chicks made this song historic and epic and no-one has been able to cover it and make it sound good over a decade later.
Both women have vocal talents , successful carers and have grown into beautiful untouched women. Hopefully they will continue to do so.
Enjoy the moment people.
Hey folks ALLOW ME TO SAY THIS, plz be smart/mature and stop passing judgments, comparisons and contrasts between these two cuties. Remember they are best friends and if you put yaself in their shoes, you will realize how provocative it is to be compared to someone even if they’er your loved ones, it hurts, it somehow creates animosity or -ve emotions, and thats nat a good look at this point in time. As fans/starz let’s support and uplift BRANDY & MONICA so that they work together collaboratively and harmoniously as a happy team. Comments are welcome but plz avoid comparing. LOVE Y’ALL
I don’t know what you all are talking about, their voices are barely audible until the end. They need to turn the backing track down.
I am here for Monica.. Murderandy needs to stay out of Monica’s way.. I am not having it with these R/B b******..
Mo punch!
I think that Brandys fans over do it! And it actually makes them & brandy look really bad… Face it brandy is talented but she’s not the greattest nor is your “bragging rights” proving otherwise Monica is just as talented and to sOme a lil more it is what it is….
They should just invite them to perform at the Grammies. They have evrything needed to do so.
They should just invite them to perform at the Grammies. They deserve it
Yeeeees!!!!!!! Amazing the need to be on the main grammy show, they would snatch wigs from everyone!!!! I Love them both
ppl are always gna compare the two and ppl willl always have their preferences .. Vocally I prefer brandy hands down I just think her voice is more versatile.. I mean every album from never say never to full moon to afrodisiac to human her vocals change and improve and she’s always doing somethin new with her voice.. it just is perfection to me. Now I like monica she just never hits that chord in me when I hear her sing and her tone isn’t something I can particularly listen to an entire album of .. However she still is a very talented singer and I’m happy for both of them. I consider them both to be mini rnb legends in their own rights and they both should be respected.
Looooooooooooove Brandy, i wont go as far as call her the vocal bible.. the only one i can call something like that is Mrs.Mariah Carey. Im looking forward to see this!! Brandy its really underrated
……cont, All the best to you BRANDY & MONICA. I am Brandy star, but in this instance would love to commend you all convey in the manner you both convey ya talents in great but in your own unique way in every respect. I love ya interview presentations, classy and yet so cute. Brandy gal thumbs up in the way ya fans are die hard fans, so hungry for ya success and really looking forward to ya come-back with a BANG.
BABY THEY BOTH LOOK GREAT & SOUND AMAZING !!! YESSSSSS!!!!!!
IM LOVING IT!!! BUT ON THA REAL LIKE IM THA BIGGEST BRANDY FAN EVER BUT PLEASE LET’S STOP WITH THA COMPARING, THA TWO ARE BOTH GREAT AND SO DIFFERENT..THEY CAN BE HUGE TOGETHER!
Who cares , vocally they’ve both been doing this three early 90’s and 16 year later they’re close as ever and together they’re bringing true RnB back….. Let’s enjoy this
Proud of these ladies….
They’re both so talented…..I can’t understand why some of you want to put them against each other.
They have different strengths as vocalists…but they are both GREAT!
Brandy’s voice is too low and raspy, plus she mumbles. Monica has a clearer voice, is about a thousand times more soulful, and can literally since Brandy off the stage.
Monica is the (much) better singer.
Monica isn’t singing full out because she is rehearsing. Wait until after the actual performance. Wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t do it b/c of Whitney’s passing? R.I.P.
Brandy’s voice is far from versatile, y’all need to stop. Both ladies are equally talented on their own way. I, for one, prefer Monica bc I feel her voice in my soul. #TeamBranica
You a lie, Brandy is one of the most versatile Singers out! you better get those albums and take a listen… and Yes Brandy is a much better and seasoned vocalist than Monica, everyone knows. Brandy voice, grew into its own. Monica is great but she sounds the same, and sings the same all the time.
Brandy’s voice is celebrated for a reason.
Monica can sing! yes but her ear and skill is not as good as Brandy’s… Brandy knows HOW TO SING PROPERLY EFFORTLESSLY. Her tone is Sick
Both sound great here.
and Last time I checked Monica called on Brandy to make some type of noise for this Failing album she has been trying to put out….. So lets not….
Brandy 2012
@….ISH! Latisha thats nat the cutest thang to say even if it were true. SMH
I really feel that if we are true fans of these ladies, we ought to respect them. We spend so much time fighting with each other and comparing and contrasting that we forget that it is now 14 years later. These ladies have grown to be positive women with responsibile traits that speaks for themselves. They are now friends and share a bond now that we should respect for their name’s sake. We lose focus on the big picture and hinder these women from their own potential because we don’t support them like we should. Why fuss and go on bickering about who is better when these women really want to make real music? Their lives and well being depend on us buying the albums and supporting shows. How can they have any level of success if the foundation of their stability is weak and in constant battle. Let’s all grow up and be the support system that they need. You can’t get Platinum if we stay in the corner and don’t shine. I love both Monica and Brandy and I love that they are really trying to stay in the game. We can learn so much from them if we stop being a victim of our own time. Monica & Brandy Rocks!!!!!!! No other compares like them. #theypavedtheway
