While the BET Awards 2012 boasted many a major performance, Brandy was the name on the lips of many come the end of night. Indeed, her show-stopping tribute medley to the late, great Whitney Houston was unanimously hailed as as the evening’s most memorable moment.
Now, in an EXCLUSIVE new rehearsal clip, you watch how B-Rocka pieced together the performance. If ever there was any doubt as to who R&B’s vocal bible is, the clip above provides an emphatic answer.
Brandy’s hotly anticipated new album ‘Two Eleven’ arrives next Tuesday (October 16th). We’ll be buying…will you?

the most vocally controlled live singer out right now
I F****** COSIGN >>>>>>>>>
yessss brandy! #twoelevenoct16
Yeah, its so strange to hear anyone say that she hasn’t influenced. The style of background harmonics and movement that lashawn Daniels and brandy created (especially during the full moon era) has been heavily replicated time and time again. That alone has singers going to studios saying “I want the brandy vocals”.
@TOOH… YOU DON’T HAVE TO EXPLAIN YOURSELF TO THOSE IGNORANT IDIOT THAT KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT MUSIC 🙂
you tell it bithcpleeease!! don’t explain s*** hon just like b**** pleeease said
WTF is a vocal bible????
If anybody follows the model of a vocal bible its always of Whitney, Mariah and Christina. Nobody models after Brandy like that- GET REAL
B**** can sing though. She just doesnt have the range of the real “vocal bible” greats
Xtina’s vocals are trash. She is no vocal bible, but you are right that Brandy is nobody’s vocal bible. Singers like Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughn, Aretha Franklin, Whitney, Mariah, Barbra Streisand, etc set the bar with their vocals. Brandy has no range, power, versatility to be anyone’s vocal bible.
Brandy has no range? No power? Did you watch the clip? She is called the vocal bible because people study her vocals. They study her runs and her crazy technique. There is a reason why most of her fans are singers. You don’t know anything about music.
first of all .com check yoself dissing a legend. Brandy is the best before there was even a christina Aguimonster there was brandy honey get it ,check it, look it up before you even speak sweet heart. STARZ FO LIFE
B**** DROP DEAD <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< 🙁
That’s an self-proclaimed TITLE!!!! Nobody calls Brandy that in the industry. Brandy voice is OK, nothing special.
suck a FROGS d*** b****
Point me to a video of Brandy ever calling herself a vocal bible….I’ll wait. That’s right you can’t but if you google that title and Brandy you’ll see others referencing her as such. Why are you so mad tho? Is it cuz your favorite cannot hold a candle?
BITCHHHHHHH..you suck MY d***, you suck YO DADDY’S D*** and when you get to ‘THE VOCAL BIBLE’ climb Mt Everest b**** and get a gooood runnin start and DIVE in her kat you lessor h**!!! (throw 2 copies of Full Moon and guts the h**) #TEAMVOCALBIBLEchile
tGFOH >>>>>>>>>>>>>
I have grew up with this girl since the very beginning of her career. I am sooo proud to see how she has become an R&B Legend and Grand Diva. I am routing for her this time and Like the great good Lord says “When it’s your time, It’s your time” ITS CLEARLY BRANDY’s TIME! and she is winning! #BrandyFan
WE LOVE AND APPRECIATE HER SO BADLY. 🙂

YAAASSSS!!!
She may not be on the level of Whitney & Mariah in terms of a big voice,but there is a way she uses her voice,OMG..This girl was born to sing…After listening to “WHEN YOU TOUCH ME” for the 1st time in 2002,I immediately became her fan.I’m still buying 15 copies of #TwoEleven for me & my loved ones..
YAAAAAAAASSSSSS WORK!
BRANDY SLAYS AND THATS ALL >>>>>>>>>>>>
TEAMVOCALBIBLE!!!
Yall read it right THE VOCAL BIBLE…BRANDY!
She’s a beast vocally and none of these other girls are touching her.
BRANDY VOCAL CAN NEVER EVER BE DUPLICATED >>>>>>>>>>>> 🙂
EVER chile!!!!!
I love Brandy’s voice. Why she is held in such high regards is the fact that her vocal tone is unique, many have tried (Megan Rochelle, Dawn Richards) but none can compete, and many still aspire and appreciate. Brandy has made her mark in musical history so if this era isn’t successful she’s already done her bit… I’m sure the music will be good
NOBODY CAN EVER DUPLICATE BRANDY’S VOCALS………NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NOONE!!!!!
Unanimously decided by whom, Sam? Because I recall that Whitney Houston’s mother Cissy was the most talked about part of the tribute.
Chile cheeze!
Maybe he said that cause Brandy’s name was trending a whole day later… Brandy was definitely at the top of the list.
STAY PRESSED WHILE BRANDY GET THOSE CHEQUES .LOL
THEN SUCK HER SAGGIN TITS B****!!! (hangs this B**** from her bedroom window with one of Brandys braids chile)
whitney and mariah were the greats, but they sang using mostly obvious chord arrangements that are easily mimicked (not saying everyone can hit their notes)
however,..music has become more complex now where SANGERS incorporate a lot more intricate chords….which are harder to “hear” and execute…..gospel singers have been doing this forever…a la kim burrell, but Brandy is one of the first and few in the r and b world to do it and be successful..
her riffs and runs have been copied (not all the time successfully) , by chris brown, kelly rowland, keri hilson, omarion, trey songz, jojo,coko, kiki sheard, etc…..and also by most aspring r and b and gospel artists of today’s generation …..so for everyone who wants to know why she is touted as the VOCAL BIBLE…now u know
Thank you!
Keyshia Cole, Nivea, Omarion, RIHANNA (she said so herself) and so on and so on. Almost every damn R&B act in the 2000’s has cited Brandy as influence or inspiration. People appreciate what she can do with her lower register (on and off stage) and also because her runs are one of a f****** kind. And she has a hell of a vocal range she just isnt a screamer like most of the sangers that small minds look up to. She reaches every note with fulfillment its hard to describe it, but it feels different. Its different from powerhouses like whitney and screamers like christina, j hud, beyonce. And mariah cant even reach a note let alone hold a note so lets not go there. Shes a throat singer an thats why it isnt working for her anymore
ITS BRANDY BITCHESSS >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
PREACH B**** PREACH!! OH GLORY chile!!!!!!
people just dont get i when we call her the VOCAL BIBLE. Its not how loud her voice is, cuz believe me Brandy does have power in her voice and good range. Its the way she delivers them so effortlessly, her CONTROL, intricacy, the emotion and depth behind what shes singing….the things this woman can do with he voice is just phenomenal. The way she attacks a record in the studio sets her apart from the rest. the placement of her harmonies, adlibs, the layering of her vocals…. i could go on forever. But many artist admire her and study her technique.Shes created her own signature sound and Some try to emmulate her but FAIL.
LIKE I SAID NOBODY CAN EVER DUPLICATE BRANDY…..NEVER EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂 🙂
EXACTLY!!!!
it’s hard now in days to find an artist that has there own sound!
Brandy has it! no one can duplicate!
Dawn richards tries but it’s not it.
listen to the last minute in a half of her song “Should I Go” thats when she was certified as the “VOCAL BIBLE” because that last minute sounds like angles!!!!
b**** don’t explain S*** to them!! BRANDY IS GIVIN ME LIFE chile!!!!
Dang I had honestly thought she lipped synced. Glad to know she didn’t. Great voice.
COME ON DON’T LET THE MEDIA FOOL YOU TOO.LOL
we thank you hon
YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS BRANDY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ♥
YES TO THAT >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Damn she sounded so lovely!!! Go on Brandy!
BRANDY Y’ALLLL
FLAWLESS!!!
LOL!!! shout out to the people that thought she was lip singing smh! Dummies.
SHOUT TO ALL OF THEM AND STILL STAYING PRESSED THAN EVER.
Say that s***!

Brandy vocals are lethal! The girl just slays!!!!! I can’t say it enough, Brandy is a true artist in every sense. I am so delighted that she’s able to share all her gifts with us again!

SISTREN PREACH>>>>>>>
Haters must just calm down. No amount of trashing will stop Brandy’s success. This is her era. Let’s all deal with it 😉 7 more days y’all til the VocalBible drops #TwoEleven. Get a copy! Get a copy! Get a copy!
HATER WILL ALWAYS DEAL >>>>>>>>>>>>>
Mariah is not a vocal bible in my opinion is WHITNEY & BRANDY, yes mariah can sing but the magic to her voice is the high notes she hits , she could never touch the songs whitney and brandy could!
BRANDY IS THE VB >>>>>>>>>>>>>
Already got it Pre-Ordered…So ready for this album its been such a long time coming..cant wait to see her next week in NY!!! #TwoElevenOct16
ME TOO >>>>>>>>>>>>
ME THREE>>>>>>>>>
Why are some people hating? Brandy is an amazing vocalist and has never lip synced *cough mariah* and if u can’t hear that b**** u deaf dumb. Have a seat with the other irrelevant opinions. Lol.
DONT HAVE TO EXPLAIN YA SELF TO THESE LESSERS .LOL
I Can’t believe this is the Moesha or Cinderella girl … I haven’t heard a voice like that since Tony Braxton or Anita Baker … Luving her tone, melismas & the dinamics of her voice are giving me life, I can’t wait 2 hear her album now no joke no shade she’s simply that amazing, bring me the Two Eleven CD right now plz
this just made my day! my girl is in rare form this era. #twoelevenOct16
COSIGN TO THAT > 🙂
Make sure yall buy the album not burn it….. I’ll leave it at that :/
Brandy’s vocals are AMAZING!!! It’s a shame that people with this much talent are further down the “Popular” “Most Paid” chart! I really love a good, truly talented vocalist.
And to think, Brandy has been in the game a looooooooooong time 🙂
YES WE’RE IN FOR A TREAT SO SUPPORT GOOD MUSIC Y’ALL
Brandy SLAYS!!!! haters will deal, thanks for your persepctive on her voice but no one is listening to you because clearly you can not be hearing what we are when she sings
HATERS WILL DEAL AS ALWAYS.LOL
Brandy is the real deal. Let talent reign. She deserves all the success…luv u Bran for giving us great music.
YESSSS! SANG!!!!!!!!!
vocal bible my ass lmao. and this video does not prove that she wasnt lipsynching. she recorded her vocals to the track and lipped to hre own vocals. everybody can see her but them damn delusional starz. and when was this hailed as the evening’s most memorable moment?
Awwwww a hater on board….. stop it u are an undercover brandy stan, so Come out the closet. It’s ok boo 🙂
Lmao i concur….some people just can’t take greatness!!!!
Well I will be the first to say I feel like a fool to think she was lip singing this..
I feel like a total ass!
I did own up to saying it tho.
Brandys voice is beautiful , however no one should feel stupid. She lip syncs live a lot… The Whitney tribute and MANY other times as well. We all know she can sing but I think she has bad nerves so that’s why. This is a rehearsal with no one in it that was strategically put out for this purpose alone. As a fan I don’t mind she does it. We know she can sing just don’t lie about anything else. We got your back 2/11 all day!!!!!
Girl you sound a plum fool
And stupid plum fool. Brandy has no reason to lipsync, stupid h**. So stop posing as a fan cause clearly you’re not a real fan.
yassssssssssssssssss
BLAHHHHHH!!! Brandy is so dry. Make sure y’all go buy that album come next wk. She needs the sales.
Shittnng dry bricks on the b**** you stan for thats for sure.
OF COURSE I AM BUYING LIKE 10 COPIES!!! haha
Brandy is the a vocal bible! Her songs takes u thru a journey. There is only one brandy!

VOCALIST!!!!
VOCALSSSSSSSS.

TIMELESS SINGER,BEAUTY,ROLE MODEL ….SHE IS JUST F****** AWESOME! SHE DIDNT LIP THAT PERFORMANCE. HOWEVER MOST GREAT ARTIST DO IT ,NOT CAUSE THEY CANT SING BUT TO PRESERVE THEIR VOICE
Brandy is so talented and I am happy that she is honoring my late Queen Whitney.
Amazing…
I love Brandy!!
Brandy is daaaaaaa truthhhhhhhhhh….this actually sound better then the actual performance..best 90s vocalist..hands down..haters deal
Breathtaking talent. Brandy is Brandy, there is really no-one else that comes to mind when she’s on her A-Game…, the only person she ever sounds like is herself and that’s rare> Esp’ for a singer with real God-given ability. Brandy is the truth and truly deserves her time in the sun…, Personally, I don’t get why anyone would wanna s*** on that considering how few genuinely talented artists are being allowed to succeed in music at the moment.
I blame the current state of the music industry, as they have lead modern audiences to believe that for one artist to succeed everyone else must fail. ’90’s audiences will remember the variety that used to exist in contemporary Rnb and that true talent comes in many shades and really can exist at the same time. If Brandy wins then we’ll all start to see real talent begin to get record deals again and have success.
Brandy is daaaaaaa truthhhhhhhhhh….this actually sound better then the actual performance..best 90s vocalist..hands down..haters deal
these comments are overly hyped FOR REAL! this is very basic and this coming from a 1994 Brandy-head
h**
I believe she lip sang…… I think this was the PRE RECORDING to her performance…. In a real rehearsal you mock your performance in FULL and she is doing NO DANCING here. She did great in the rehearsal BUT She wasn’t singing live at the awards… NO SHADE INTENDED
But when you lip, you sing to pre-recorded vocals and if you’ll notice her vocals here aren’t the same as her vocals at the performance. Brandy makes lipping look easy, and like it’s totally LIVE, but let’s not deny the fact that she’s more than capable of delivering vocally. Yeah, a few of her facial expressions were kinda weird during the performance, but she kinda does that periodically.
I just can’t see Brandy lipping a tribute performance to her idol and mentor.
yassss GHANDY!!!!!!!
She has snatched me BALD, you hear me?! My “I wanna be down” box braids are EVERYWHERE!!!! How to DEAL?!
Getcha life hunnies!!!!
DEATH!!
I was shocked that some of you thought she lip synched. Who would spend time and money to record live vocals for a tribute performance? Something that she would never ever perform again? On top of that, don’t y’all think she would have gotten the words right? She messed up the words to IYBT.
Brandy sang that!!!!
She is amazing.
Wow.
I’m buying TWO ELEVEN, as well.
Yea Bran killed THIS!!!!!!!! She probably did pre-record for the show because she was dancing and moving..starz consider her the vocal bible…thats their opinion….Lets not tear each other down….But Yea WHITNEY IS THE REAL VOCAL BIBLE!
Whitney was the VOICE…not the same thing…Brandy is the vocal bible, and the Queen of Harmonies…She has earned her OWN title.
SHES JUST TOO MUST FOR WORDS
Brandy was the highlight of that night.
Lipped or not she still shut it the f*** down. Even after all this time ppl are still talking bout it.
Brandy had s*** on all yall favs dat night.
Its still her if she lipped or not, its still her voice!
The vocal MF bible!
Whoever said they won’t be buying the album!!! Listen to the snippets and tell me if you still feel that way!!
http://www.jpc.de/jpcng/poprock/detail/-/art/Brandy-Two-Eleven/hnum/2878776
OMG HER VOICE!!!!!!! Yess girl you beddu singtk
Die without you is my favorite track on the vocal bible full moon I absolutely love that CD everything just flowed together but anyway that song makes me believe that s what heaven she sound like and feel like and it takes me back to when I was 10 and getting her CD and Aaliyah last CD those albums will always be close to my heart!!
That lil rehearsal piece was LIVE but the actual performance she did lip-synch and you Fallen Stars can’t take!!
Brandy should be honored that people think she was lip syncing. It just goes to show how great Brandy actually is. That tribute was live… It would make no sense to lip sync while everyone else in the tribute was singing live. There would be no need for her to rehearse with Ricky Minor and his band if her vocals were pre-recorded. If she was going to lip sync for the tribute then she would be practicing to a recording. There would be no need for her to practice live. Clearly you can hear the background singer singing with her… There would be no need for backup singer if it wasnt going to be live… & it would be just plain disrespectful to lip sync in a Whitney tribute… She would never dare… SMH… I think the people hating on Brandy are white…. idk my intuition is just telling me that sum of ya are white and dont know anything about real singers… i would hate to think that its black people who are hating on this talented woman.
Some of y’all sound far from intelligent saying that she lip sung. Anytime Brandy has prerecorded a track, you could tell in the difference in quality of the audio. Clearly this had the same audio quality as the performance, and great at that. It also had the same basic format as the performance but she switched up the ad libs. Plus she wouldn’t have prerecorded so many Adlibs and runs as it would be harder to follow. The whole reason ure in disbelief is because of her level of CONTROL…that’s why we call her the VOCAL BIBLE…maybe you should too!
Brandy is a great and a unique vocalist but a vocal bible is reaching.If I had to choose a great and so far the best Whitney tribute would be Kelly Rowland how will I know and greatest love of all performance.Kelly can Whitney justice not brandy.Brandy is still great though.Maybe brandy would do lauryn hill some justice.
What´s up with Brandy fans??? You are all too excited or what! haha
No shade, her albums looks like a great piece of work (I can´t listen to the snippets though, don´t know why) but the few I´ve hears i think they are great (for Brandy)
But that Vocal Bible title you want to give her is not fair and you know it. Like come on. of course power doesn´t mean good voice and all that, and I agree brandy has an unique voice. But Vocal bible is too big for a singer like her. Sorry. I hope you all excited fans go buy her album cos I don´t want to see her flop the week after with the final numbers
Stop over hyping things and buy teh damn s***. If not you´ll look delusional and broke as hell
Go jump in the lake, troll.
If brandy is the vocal bible,what exactly does that make Beyonce,Monica,Tiffany Evans,Fantasia,Faith Evans,Kelly Price,Jill Scott,Vivan Green,Angie Stone,Erykah Badu,Keke Wyatt,Jazmine Sullivan,Tamia,Tweet,Lil Mo,Nivea,Ledisi,J.Hud,Vocal Titans? Every R&B Diva I Just named would “Sang” not sing “SANG” Brandy Norwood under the table.
The same stans talking this b******* will be the ones crying come october 23rd or whenever they release the numbers of that week.
This over hyping is starting to get annoying.
Stop with the lies brandy wasn’t the highlight of that tribute. She sounded terrible like she normally does live. Flop Monica was the highlight of that tribute.
I mean everybody got there on special name! It sounds like you are hating. Because ppl call Brandy the vocal bible doesn’t mean any of the other ladies you named aren’t good, no one ever said that! I don’t agree with you saying that they would out sing Brandy I disagree in-fact , ppl like Jasmine Sullivan love Brandy….What you can do is buy 2/11 and check Brandy’s skill, because I’ve heard all the artists you named up top and 7 of them aint seeing Brandy period…………….So kill that Hating ass!!!!Damn it!!!!!!!!
Vocal MF bible.
B******* b****! It was brandy all nite queen! Brandy stole the nite. Flop monica does WH songs all the time. Monica was same old s***. Monica was good, but everyone SAYS BRANDY WAS BETTER b****!
The haters on brandy is crazy. Keep talking bout brandy. This is the way it shuld b whn her album is comin out anyway.
brandy was the highlight of the night so just deal
AMAZING!!!!!
I WONDER what the meaning of 2 11 really is i wonder will first weees be over 50k
