Brandy‘s ‘Two Eleven’ promo train pulled into the Good Morning America studios this morning.
Backed by her now ever-present dancers and a full band, B-Rocka served up a pulsating performance of her smash hit ‘Put It Down’.
Watch Ms. Norwood in action below…
Via Brandy Daily:
With both her swag and vocals on 100, B-Rocka nailed this! The live band was an awesome touch, beefing up the already meaty cut for a fuller showing. Great performance!
As previously reported, ‘Two Eleven’ is on-course to open at #2 on the Billboard 200 next week. Be sure to pick up a copy!
I’m happy for Brandy. This is the EXACT promotion needs for the album. I really am rooting for her and hope that she will have steadily sales now, next month and past the new year!
Put It Down Brandy!!!!!!!!!!!!!
she* i type to damn fast lol.
Her voice is so rich and like velvet….her tone is so sick. Proud of Brandy. Her will progressively sell more…she’s proving a point with this album
Yeassss Brandy? *in Brandy’s voice* Vocals on point, confidence on 1000, style on 2000. Loving the long legs. Her studded MIC is cute.
I’d like to hear her live again.
SHEEER PERFECTION!!!! ALL HAIL THE QUEEN!!!! Best performance of Put it Down to date!!
P.S. Did anybody peep those legs??? or was it just me???!!
#killinEM
It was too early for this s*** for her to be dancing around but she did a bomb ass job proud of her and she was so humble too
Contrary to the dismal sales predictions, i think she will sale in the low 100,000s. There are way too many people showing their support and love for the project right now. A lot of artists and celebs have even been tweeting how great the album sounds including Ciara, Syleena Johnson, Karrueche, Jasmine Sullivan, and India.Arie who called her a “vocal icon”. I have seen so many people on FB, Instagram and Twitter tweet constantly about an album. She will do well. Love you Bran!
no, it will sell more like 65k. you’ll see.
At the end of the day it still won’t matter because this album is AMAZING and there are at least 4-5 more single worthy songs and I couldn’t say the same for “Human”. She is killing these performances. What God has for you, IS for you!! Brandy’s fans, team, and the industry (peers) are behind her. You can’t keep a good woman down!!
Karrueche?<— REALLY?
NOW HOW IS THIS B*TCH A CELEBRITY? What song did she record? What movie has she been in? What book did she right? A model huh, where is her portfolio? LOL 🙂 STOP IT PPL…
Anywho, the others in the category can speak on the CD which is very good! Regardless of how much she sells 2/11 is a quality CD. I'm tired of the fake measures placed on POP stars being used To measure the success of BLACK…SOUL….R&B ARTISTS!
so what, when did music become a competition or sales race?….just enjoy the music and stop arguing and pitting your fave against the next….s*** is getting annoying
I thought this looked very beyoncé inspired then i found out she is using beyonces choreographer and stylist. I kind of wish she didnt do this and found her on style. 🙁 but she sounded great. Love her
Correction, Beyonce is using Brandy’s choreographer and stylist. Frank Gatson and his team worked with Brandy back in the 90’s way before Beyonce started working with him. And this is not Beyonce hate just a FACT. I don’t see the similarity though in their styles. Beyonce is very much more DRAMATIC with her perforamnces while Brandy is a lil more “Hip Hop” with hers.
Both ladies do THEIR OWN THING VERY WELL!
Yes! Very true! Frank Gatson was very instrumental in Brandy’s early career… when Beyonce was just a girl from TX. I love them both. No shade. Brandy is amazing!
u tell em i was about to but u did it ha
Brandy is NOT using Beyonce’s Stylist where do you people get your information from? And T is correct Brandy has been using Frank Gatson since her very first single “I wanna be down”.
I stand corrected, she isn’t using the same stylist as Beyonce but to be honest I don’t see the similarity in wardrobe between Brandy and Beyonce so that comment should have been ignored!
She maybe looking Beyonce in your opinion but Beyonce has yet to release an album with or without Destinys Child of this quality in my opinion. I don’t care if it sells, i’m just happy it was released.
This album as well as SWV’S masterpiece and Miguels are the albums of the year as fas as im concerned, many were hyped but didn’t cut it for me
PAULA Shut your dirty trap if u ve not got any past history of some1, this guys work with brandy when attention seeking beyonce was hoeing around the industry to get into the spot light.
Somebody has been studying beyoncé a little too much.. The hairstyle, gold gloves, black bodysuit, two female dancers behind her.. Brandy no just no. It doesnt even suit you. Stop and return to your former self immediatley.
Blame frank gatson and to the idiot talking aboit beyonce using brandy choreographer. Was brandy ever dancing in the 90’s?
Girl, look familiar? 🙂
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjm8Wr22i3k
Beyonce is a THIEF!
shut the f*** up you h**. beyonce is the only artist that steal almost everything she those from other female artist like Jlo
The moves seem a little beyonce TBH. There’s nothing wrong with being inspired by Beyonce though. She’s iconic in this era.
LOL then Beyonce must have been studying DIANA ROSS cause she has always had 2 back-ip singers!! She must also have been inspired by TINA TURNER cause gloves and black hot pants is somthing she PERFECTED in he 60s & 70s…you know before Beyonce was BORN!!
AS T STATED,
Beyonce is using Brandy’s choreographer and stylist. Frank Gatson and his team worked with Brandy back in the 90′s way before Beyonce started working with him. And this is not Beyonce hate just a FACT. I don’t see the similarity though in their styles. Beyonce is very much more DRAMATIC with her perforamnces while Brandy is a lil more “Hip Hop” with hers.
Both ladies do THEIR -OWN- THING VERY WELL!
I’M SO PROUD OF THIS WOMAN…THIS ALBUM,WITH THE KIND OF PUSH SHE’S GIVING IT WILL GROW LEGS AND SHOW STEADY SALES..PLEASE SUPPORT GREAT MUSIC
Im not talking about frank gatson im talking about beyonces choregrapher Jaqueal Knight who choregraphed this for brandy. And it does look like she is trying to copy beyoncé as she did that look first im only saying.
Well then I guess Beyonce is copying Tina Turner with the wardrobe and dancing with two girls and I guess BEyonce is copying Michael Jackson with the glove. I mean seriously Beyonce is not the creator of performance. Brandy was dancing in her prime and she’s dancing now so what. and LIKE I SAID, Jaquel knight is PART OF Frank Gatson’s team who was working with Brandy BEFORE Beyonce.
Some of you make it seem like the next time somebody steps on a stage and dances their automatically copying Beyonce. Like she is not the creator of all things performance wise. Stop it! Girl is GREAT but give credit to other people who are just as good!
Say that s*** “T”!
SCHOOL THESE CHILDREN, T!
Be quiet Paula.
Knock it out Bran! She did a great job! I can’t wait to see her on Live with Kelly & Michael and Wendy! I’m enjoying Brandy so much in this new era! Keep doing you B-rocka!

Brandy will do just fine even if she don’t get that number one spot she will for sure get that number two spot. She will remain relevant for a while cuz that album is cray.. And that “put it down” be bumpin in my trunk
People need to stop calling people a flop when they make it in the top ten of billboards that is a enough to keep them relevant for a while.
Thank you – people know yts aren’t going to support her music if it’s heavily r&b influenced. They just don’t support r&b PERIOD anymore. I think more people will buy it as she works it by appearing on shows & giving great performances.

PREACH!!!
Brandy looks and sounds amazing. I am proud of her… and she can’t duplicate anyone that she laid the foundation for… and if she does… it’s a tribute to them. Lets just love anyone who is producing great work!
I have to admit I have this album and I love it I suggest you go cop you a hard copy NO! iTunes download. I rather have the hard copy and I got the nomoral cover cuz it look better then the delux cover.
But those deluxe tracks are EVERYTHING! IJS
right!
Uh I guess she’s trying something new because to be singing I’ve her her do better on her recent ballads. I was sorta lost by the message. She did dance but I hope her aim was to control her body. In the chorus on imma put it down and you gon fall in love I would expect less tenseity from the hips. I’m not sure if I am seeing this correctly. I also feel like she’s abouth to start free styling. THEN SHE SINGS. WTHWT? The break she poses. Why is there no rapping in a song that you would expect it on. I want balance. She needs to strengthen her vocals a little more. Any thing I miss?
the fact that you’re not in A&R! You missed that part…..
lol!
I know. Missed that part.smh
I read this comment 3 times and it still makes no sense. I suggest u pull out a cot and get some rest cuz u seem to be exhausted from all this hating you’re doing. Thank goodness you didn’t A&R this project cuz from what you’re saying I would have had no interest.
False that I am happy I don’t. I am not hating. I get shade and lots. But it is called constructive criticism. If I hated her she wouldn’t get not one comment.
this bych is WORKING OUT!!! regardless of numbers….she snatched wigs this era…
Brandy will be relevant because she is Brandy. However she lending her vocals and dancing just like any one else. I wish her the best in sales!
Brandy has her own swag when , she performs where as Queen Bey gives diva OTT HOTTNESS , Queen Bran giveS Round the way Bout that life HOTNESS
AND IF ANYONE WHO WORKS WITH BEY WANTS TO WORK WITH BRAN ”AGAIN” ITS CAUSE SHES AMAZING AND WORKS HARD , DANCING AND SINGING AND IN HEELS , THAT PERFORMANCE WAS FIRE SO INTRICATE LIKE SHE WASNT EVEN THINKING BOUT TIMING OR STEPS IT BECAME SECOND NATURE AND SHE LOOKED LIKE SHE HAVING FUN. SO PROUD
Brandy slays! and Beyonce slays! … Stop falling into traps people. Both of THESE women should be winning!
http://www.thepagewithroyalkev.com
Yes RoyalKev spill that true tea both ladies should be winning. Moving on I want to know are you into broadcasting/journalism?
Lol! Funny you mention that beause I thought about that recently. A partner of mine is really pushing to do that kind of thing later in the year. I love writing (music/ literature), but I’m leaning towards joining. 🙂

Goooooooooo Brandy!!!!!! I think she’s going to surprise alot of people with her opening numbers on the charts.
@T yeah we all love them extra songs on tha delux version but her normal cover looks better with more color, detail, just looks better
I would just download the extra songs from the delux album on iTunes.
That’s cool! I LOVE the fact that your purchasing and supporting though so, big ups!
I am sooo proud of Brandy!!! This is a perfect example of a comeback and that fact that she is just bursting with confidence makes it even better! I’m so happy for all her success and the album is just great, keep it up b rocka
Where did she go? Lol. I’ve always had respect for Brandy and I am happy she came back from where ever she was or wasn’t.
yes elijah. I’m so happy so many music fans are going hard for her too. She’s committed and talented!
this album is pure soul r&b that we have been missing., amazing album brandy-every song!!! ive bought 5 copies & itunes both versions!!!! i need this album to do well it is too good & just what we need on the charts, im sick of pop tart music & country running everything!!!!! she slayed this performance, i just wish she had a full out concert for gma to show more of the album off & that crowd would b a hit to get more albums sold
such a great performance and watch. Brandy has improve so much this past years. like… WOW. Her confidence is stronger than ever, and she’s having fun finally. Love it!

in ma debarge family voice
I hate people that waste opportunities. She has been dropped and passed around labels before. She is 33, dark skin and not as attractive as the two leading redbones: Beyonce and Rih. Plus she is doing RNB. She should have come back swinging. Look at the kind of promo Rita Ora does: Tour, GQ, vogue, On air with Ryan seacrest seventeen, MTV awards and all its afterparties; GMA, Jimmy kimmell, radio tour pop and urban etc. Plus, Rita went to Germany, Australia, Japan , UK, France etc. BRANDY SHOULD OF DONE THIS X 10 she has been in the business longer than Rita.
So now, she has flopped, sold a crappy 60k in her 1st week. I have no sympathy. Why the f*** was she not at the MTV awards? Why has she not gone on air with Ryan seacreat? AKA, why has she not done a Rita Ora? It seems the white girls ( rihana excluded ) work harder. She only has herself to blame for flopping and this will be the same fate ( if not worse ) for Kelly rowland and Ciara.
It would of helped to do a more professional, artistic album cover and video. The song was not all that as well.
I appreciate the effort you put into your comments but let me help you understand how the music industry works. You can’t just call up Ryan Seacrest or MTV and say hey I wanna come perform. Every major artist makes requests to appear on these shows for promo and only a few are invited. The networks, radio stations and concert agencies will only book you if they feel you are “hot” or “popular” at the moment. Unfortunately for Brandy she has been gone so long that she has to start over as new artist. Her ppl are booking her as much as they can but they will increase as she continues to “prove” herself to the industry. The doors that are closed now will slowly open if she continues to get the support she’s getting from her fans. Rita Ora was lucky to have Jay Z and Beyonce backing her and therefore was granted opportunities based on who she knows not because of who she is. It’s all political. Think about that the next time you decide to compare different artists.
Eh em. I’m gonna say that yes the light skin ladies are beautiful and it is in who you know and how you treat others. Music is a talent which means you have to be versatile. Brandy is not a new artist and never will be again. Her failures will be partially her fault. Rihanna has came UP dancing a bit better and better. Beyonce Slays. Period. I havent seen much of Rita. I do know this You have to be capable of being versatile and trying something new and not always try to relate. Singing is NOT talking. The range of her voice is getting to me. It doesn’t sit well as some people may think. Why has she not been accepted like the likes of the aboved named women? Where had she been? Every body sick and still working so where is the exception? The truth is what people want or should and NOT a sweet lie.
She isn’t THAT dark. Lmao at you. U act like she’s as black as night. Not everyone is attracted to light skin though. I love Beyonce but when she doesn’t have her weave and makeup right she looks gross. Same with Rih. I think Brandy’s skin tone is very attractive and beautiful. Stop hating.
You need to banned from this blog. Take your crusty stan of big foreheaded and non-talented Rihanna to a corner somewhere and sit. Your commentary and opinion is not only stupid, but utterly meaningless.
Light skin, and this and that! B**** this is Brandy Norwood you talking about…..She is clearly in the business stop hating on her please for your life! Rihanna is not better than Brandy and Beyonce is not Better than Brandy!!!! These ppl adore Brandy and it’s all in management! Brandy is a 20 year Bad B****! She started in the industry in 1993 as a little girl! And she was snatching B****** then so kill that! Everyone has low moments and now ppl gotta get back cause she here! Stop hating and comparing her to Beyonce and saying she is stilling Beyonce’s Team nawl Brandy worked with Frank first and Jaquel comes under Frank! Get you a little more information and Brandy is a Icon! Ask Diana Ross and Oprah that shyt!!!!!! #TwoEleven w/ Brandy Norwood is out go cop that!
so beautiful n multi-talented put it dwn then
ma computer trippin llike idk how to spell b**** gone somewhere red linez this txtn
put dwn rite 75
come on 75
i wanna be dwn wit brandy now
here we go 75
okay i did ma duty DBOY6 lover of true talent
SHE WILL HAVE the #1 RnB album tho. I brought a hard copy and itunes digital copy. I wanted her to do huge numbers but slow n steady sales arent bad either. #teamBrandy
Great vocal performance but like I always said from the beginning, that choreo is NOT the business. When she danced more at the end I felt embarassed for her. Anywho, the bridge was very beautiful with the piano. All in all, she deserves success. However, I’ve listened to the album cuz she posted the link on fb. Her or her publicist and I don’t hear anything single worthy. Maybe the album has to grow on me. It IS some very deep passionate R&B songs on there I must say. PID and wildest dreams have the most potential I must say. “let me go” is also a close runner up.
get you some good headphones and let HAVE sis.. I’m not gon give you TOO much because you SEEM a little open minded. This album blasts
Brandy can sing but she used to sound of cream. I keep hearing an annoying rasp and that is not what Brandy used to sound like. I believe that Brandy still has potential, I watched her perform. I feel like she did dance well in her heels. But it wasn’t somersaults. I won’t refer to another artist in her regard. I was confused on the concept of the choreography and the arrangement of the song. Because she was very crunk but it did seem hip hop and not R&B. I feel like something was missing and I honestly wish I could pin point it.
smh.. brandy’s voice has always been raspy, but she started releasing HIT albums at the age of 14… every woman’s voice will change and when you sing with emotion as she always has, texture will develop in your voice.
but book!
Uh even on my worst days mine doesn’t. I crack but I’m bout to be 28 I have never been completely without and at 14 I too was working and LISTENING. Please get your facts. which again she is selling looking for buyers so she should think if I was not feeling her I wouldn’t say anything. I wanted to buy but again the ego lets me eat that money. I know a lot of people changing! It’s called life. Not my fault I wanted to see you succeed. Smh
Brandy’s voice has been raspy ever since Never Say Never. This isn’t new. Her voice hasn’t been silky smooth since “I Wanna Be Down.”
TEAM GHANDY BITCHEEESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!
YEAH I’M BOUT TO GO HAM!!!!!!
I’m so PROUD of this girl!!!!! Her album slays BOOTZ and she came back with a hit single and still remains humble and gracious!!! Her performances are out of this world and her vocals are YET to be matched.. She is so unique in EVERY WAY!!! Some of yall other h*** need to humble yourselves because commenting on these blogs and twitter will not help you fulfill your destiny!! Get money b****!!!
YASSSS ROCKA!!!!
Let me SLIDE over to the side and give a LITE turn just to shift my hair a bit!!!
http://cdn.thatgrapejuice.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/brandy-whip.gif
DO IT B ROCKA!!
I don’t give a rats ass about numbers! Brandy has wonderful voice and is a great talent! I’m glad she found her voice& confidence again. I’m also glad she didn’t mention my boy they don’t like him on that show…LOL… F*** YOU ROBIN ROBERTS ( no love or sympathy) & GMA!! 🙂
The beats sound like they go more than her singing, the lyrics on both songs I like. The chorus sounds decent on Let me Go.
super proud of her
The BAND !!! That OUTFIT !!! The EXECUTION OF THE CHOREO! and dem VOCALS!!!!! Brandy *sigh*…… they dont know.
I won’t be buying. She’ll do well. Especially without me.
I have no words……………Yes I do…AMAZING…. GREAT…..FIERCE…..S***…. this woman’s tone is just…….. I cant even describe it.
Go GET Two Eleven……
I just thought I’d write something.
Umm Beyonce who??? Brandy straight killed this her tone is out of this world and doing these hardcore hip hop man dances brandy better slay!! Someone please get me some brandy tickets a tour is a must!!
Lol at the Beyonce stans connecting everything back to Beyonce. Its ironic considering she isn’t the most “creative” of the bunch, if you know what I mean. Anyways, Ms. Norwood shut the show down. I am so happy for her and I really want this album to do well because its that good.
yeas shes the ony person in music today that im really caring for right now and beyonce stans should really be the last one talking about someone whos taking things smh
and for those hows saying put it down is a flop single it sure is charting in places like korea germany and the netherlands at least she not puttin out her whole album as singles… shes actually riding this single out and its been out since may these young folk just dont know that brandy is already a legend with a 20 year career under her belt all of these ppl success now is nothing compared to the success brandy had b4 she was 20 she was everywhere!!! if she wasnt on the radio she was definitely on your tv 5 days a week!
THOSE LEGS 🙂 LAAAAAWWWWD HAVE MERCY. YESSSSSSS B-ROCKA SHOW THAT S*** BODY OFF, I LOVE IT. GOOD PERFORMANCE TOO.
Brandy, I am not scared of beautiful..that’s you, girl
Beyonce this! Beyonce that! STFU for a change!
Not buying the album. I didn’t like it. All R&B songs sound alike and all Pop/techno songs sound alike. The vocals on this performance were…ehh. It wasn’t good to me. I miss old Brandy. *goes to watch Double Platinum*
There are no pop/techno songs on this album. But I guess you’re one of those traditional conservative folks who are dead set against artists growing and evolving, and taking risks with their music. It’s okay, she’s gonna be find regardless but God forbid you to change at all within the past 14 years.
God bless.
