Now I love me some Aaliyah. Always have. But if she's considered a legend, then so is Brandy. I actually think that if the roles were switched and it was Brandy that passed at a young age, they'd just be in the same place. Aaliyah would be struggling musically while turning to acting for coint and Brandy would be the fallen "icon". Plus I believe Brandy had much more of a cultural impact during her younger days than Aaliyah, not to take away from Aaliyah's legacy tho.
