Brandy is Broadway ready!

The R&B songstress took to the stage on the Today Show moments ago to offer the first live look at her as Roxie Hart in the stage adaptation of ‘Chicago.’

Set to kick off April 28th, B-Rocka’s run looks set to be a must see if her performance of ‘Roxie’ moments ago is anything to go by.

Watch her werk below…

[Watch here in HQ]

She smashed it!

Sass, vocals, and all sorts of confidence. Again, she smashed it!

    What kind of basic mess is this, damn.

    • Toohotfortv April 22, 2015

      Are you serious? Where in hell are you seeing anything basic (besides in the mirror of course)? First, its Broadway. Second, its the longest and most established musical on Broadway. Third, she has performed, sang, and act at a professional level for probably longer than you’ve been alive. Quite frankly, this is the furthest thing from basic and if you can’t see that… I’m sorry my dear but, you are up for elimination. Your opinion no longer counts in this forum.

      • Wait What April 22, 2015

        B****, stfu, she’s basic, deal with it.

      • Lake Erie April 22, 2015

        So is ya momma in bed but we don’t hold that against the h**.

      • Lake Erie April 22, 2015

        Preach @Toohotfortv

      • Wait What April 22, 2015

        Weak, just like your fav.

      • Lake Erie April 22, 2015

        And you mad. Now deal. 😉

      • Wait What April 22, 2015

        Mad, no boo, that would be you.

      • Lake Erie April 22, 2015

        For one, I’m not your boo and 2 I’m ecstatic which is why I here. As for you hunny boo boo, why are you here? Lol.

      • Wait What April 22, 2015

        Why am I here, it’s a PUBLIC BLOG you dumb b****. Keep seething on the fact that your fav’s performance was BASIC, boo.

      • Lake Erie April 22, 2015

        Lmao, my point granted. You’re mad lol. Done.

      • Wait What April 22, 2015

        Lol Keep telling yourself that, whatever makes you feel better.

      • Phoenix April 22, 2015

        Smh wasn’t anything basic about that preforance. What was basic, however, was that person’s comment. I’ve been in my share of musicals and it is definitely a trial to get everything together. Now, I want to see lil miss judgement get on stage and do something at least a quarter of a ways decent and THEN maybe you could give a valid opinion. Until then, your seat is waiting…

    • Antonio April 22, 2015

      She’s basic yet she’s influenced almost every Urban/Pop female singer out now… Ciara, Rihanna, Beyonce, Kelly Rowland, Keyshia Cole, Ariana Grande, Emeli Sande, Jessie J, Jasmine Sullivan, Melanie Fiona, Joss Stone, India.Arie, Erykah Badu and even male artists like Tank, Chris Brown, Coldplay have listed her as an influence. Not to mention all the legends adored her from Whitney, Mariah, Michael, Janet, Patti, Chaka, Gladys, Aretha, Prince and Stevie.

      • Lake Erie April 22, 2015

        Please say that s*** 2 times for the fuckboy tonio! #Amen

      • Wait What April 22, 2015

        YAWN, save that novel, I repeat, she’s basic.

      • Kitty Puurrzz April 22, 2015

        This girl was NEVER noted as an influence to Bey. Girl stop.

      • A Sip Of Brandy April 22, 2015

        @kitty Puurrzz But bey has praised and recognized Brandy, look it up!

  8. RnbGenius April 22, 2015

    • Lake Erie April 22, 2015

The Crackbaby Tourettes responding person above gone say “cuz it’s a public blog” true enough but out of the millions of post that Sam has put on here, you respond negatively on this one? Youz a psychotic fuckboy for that comment. All the love on this post must be getting the 2 pest on here lol.

      • Todd April 22, 2015

        Stop giving that fool your energy… Just tryna get a reaction!!! This about Brandy!

      • Lake Erie April 22, 2015

        Yea, you right @Todd. It is about her. 🙂 I’m done.
        Sidenote: Love You foreverbrandy!!!!! <3

  15. pat April 22, 2015

    her versatility is so underrated

    • Lake Erie April 22, 2015

      Agreed.

  16. Kitty Puurrzz April 22, 2015

    Brandy is dope but i honestly think her fans give her way too much. Vocal Bible? Uhhh… She has runs, tone but no range. This performance was cute at best. Stop reaching. I’m happy she’s doing broadway & acting because music is over her. She gives us great albums yet no one buys them. 2/11 was a hit

    • knock on norwood April 22, 2015

      @kitty I’d say the pop tart artist you stan for is overrated. Why don’t you folks research and look up artists who have mentioned her or praised her talents? Get a grip. What her fans say about her shouldn’t bother you. Sounds like a personal problem you have with insecurity.

    • credits April 22, 2015

      if you think she has no range, go listen to her albums or even one of those vocal range videos on youtube where brandy goes from her lowest note to her highest. You will change your opinion after that. And this is not even just about high notes, to say she has no range means that you don’t even know what a lower register is.

  17. Mr. CEE April 22, 2015

    ANYBODY who says Brandy is ‘basic’ is full of ISH!!! She’s anything but.
    Ya’ll need be worried about some of these other flops (your faves) whose album campaigns ain’t taking off like they thought…oop!

    • Lake Erie April 22, 2015

      Lol. Amen.

  18. knock on norwood April 22, 2015

    I’ll never understand why folks create multiple accounts to troll and hate on an artist they don’t like in online blogs. It makes no sense and it’s a waste of time. Call her what you want, at the end of the day you still took time out of your life to recognize her. Brandy stays winning! Happy for all that’s in store for her.

    • Lake Erie April 22, 2015

      I couldn’t have said it better, and yes the multiple accounts is outrageous lol. Too time consuming.

  19. Rory April 22, 2015

    Ummmmm I like it, but when she moves, she’s not moving with confidence or really “hitting” the moves. I knows she’s not a dancer, but when I watch Chicago, the performances were amazing

    • Cough Cough April 22, 2015

      You must have NEVER seen “dancing with the stars” because she is absolutely a dancer.

      • Lake Erie April 22, 2015

        And *cough* *cough* reads.

  20. Cough Cough April 22, 2015

    Brandy is one of THEE GREATEST.

  21. Paulo April 22, 2015

    Yessss Brandy! Love it how she’s Roxie yet doing her Brandy runs still.

  22. Teflon Boy April 22, 2015

    Vocally for me Brandy is a 13 out of 10 lol.., Seriously, judged on her own merits her voice is annointed and the only contemporary singer who shares her control is probably JoJo and to a lesser degree Beyoncé. However, when compared to the countless so-called ‘singers’ of today who struggle to errm actually sing, Brandy’s gifts are obvious and abundant. I can’t be delusional though so while her voice and music is really special I think the ‘Vocal Bible’ tag just invites too much hate from Christians etc. Also, while she can learn steps and execute them she’s not really a dancer, her form is terrible and she rarely hits the mark and sells it. That said, I love Brandy for her voice and inventiveness, not her dancing.

  23. Stephon April 22, 2015

    The Vocal Bible is Aretha Franklin, Patti Labelle, Barbra Streisand & Whitney Houston.

    Brandy has always been “take it or leave it” for me. Her discography is boring & overrated… Just like her voice tbh… And, she looks like an Alien… A beautiful Alien tho….

    • knock on norwood April 22, 2015

      @stephon yall folks kill me. So Brandy can’t have a nickname for her musical talents? Aretha was the queen of soul, whitney was “the voice”, patti is a legend, and Barbara has had an impressive career. Get your facts right. I’ll never understand why folks are so intimidated by a title for Brandy they don’t understand the meaning of, yet somehow feel she’s unworthy of. Yall need to get a grip and get lives and stop focusing on people you think or so inferior, or unworthy of your time and recognition.

    • A Sip Of Brandy April 22, 2015

      @Stephon Whitney is dead, Aretha is the Queen of soul, patti and barbara are both past their prime. Get a damn grip! Brandy’s discography is boring? Ha! I bet you haven’t listened to a single Brandy album post Never Say Never or Full Moon in its entirety. I bet you couldn’t even name three non singles from Brandy, or unreleased tracks! Y’all losers kill me. It’s always the haters that have more to say about Brandy than her actual fans. How ironic!

    • HYISI April 22, 2015

      I kind of agree even though Full Moon and Afrodisac still get some play from me.
      That whole vocal bible bs though is just downright a slap in the face to all of the better singers that came before and after her.

      • A Sip Of Brandy April 22, 2015

        @HYISI Do you and all the other idiots even know what vocal bible means? It has nothing to do with diminishing the talents of singers that came before of after her. Jesus, y’all are really showing your insecurity now. Did anyone throw a fit when Gladys Knight was called the Empress of Soul while aretha was still alive? Go do some homework and get a grip. It’s comments like yours that prove that Brandy is underrated as opposed to overrated.

  24. KMilli April 22, 2015

    The girls are so bothered by Brandy success wether it’s music, TV, Film or now Broadway. Brandy is a trailblazer! So thats 30 million sold, Thea, Moesha, Cinderella, Chardonnay, Double Platinum, I still know, Tyler Perry Marriage counselor, & a judge on Americas got talent. She’s the definition of longevity. Oooo and a new album in the fall, Amazing! 20+ years and still book’d..

    • Lisa April 23, 2015

      Oh andshe just got a B.E.T show called Zoe Moon

  25. cocobutta April 22, 2015

    Good job Bran.
    Actually enjoyed that.
    Like that she was controlled as when on Broadway you can’t over sing and riff in certain productions.

    Nice to see excitement

  26. Chillin April 22, 2015

    Awesome!! Michelle Williams played the same role years ago

  27. Bitchpleaseeeeeeeee! April 22, 2015

    Brandy got booked and y’all will deal. 🙂

  28. Royalkev April 22, 2015

    Wow, I guess we have to keep seeing the same pressed souls visit every Brandy post TGJ writes up.. It literally seems to be just about every post these days! Why so mad? What do the Starz excitement for Brandy have to do with these haters? It’s a Broadway production, not album snippets or a performance of some new single. What is getting these people so bothered. It’s laughable seeing certain stans in here doing the most when their fav is a hot mess on stage! All kinds of meltdowns happen when you justifiably critique their favs cringe-worthy showings. I’m not addressing Navy stans (I know people automatically go there when Bey’s in your avi). I’m just saying …wtf!

  29. HOWYOULIKEIT April 22, 2015

    I love Brandy but why are these men dressed like that and acting crazy like that???

  30. Sherry April 22, 2015

    Me and my sister bought tickets! I love love looooove Brandy! I used to have her doll and everything lol. All of her albums are gems. I’ve really been feeling Human lately. She did some of her BEST singing on there. Love her catalogue especially unreleased tracks.

  31. Jec2 April 22, 2015

    Can someone that is relevant today please serve this level of talent?! i will be at this show!

  32. WHO ME? WHO YOU, CHILE? HA HA HA! (QUEEN SLAYANNA) April 22, 2015

    Damn, that man holding her waist cannot keep his eyes off of that chocolate booty. I ain’t mad though. He just needs to leave his wife first and then get at Miss Brandy. Lol!

  33. BrandyStan April 22, 2015

    When you’re deemed a musical name whether it’s the voice or queen of soul or empress it comes with a respect from other artist before her time and during her time. She earned it and yall still forget she’s Whitney’s protégé and was literally under her tutelage. Why is it that other stans of other artists can’t be happy for another who they used to rock with before they deemed someone else their new fav in the later 90s like yall hypocriting hard than a b**** keept it real. Brandy slayed back then and she still booked till this day stop all that petty ass fav beef it’s pointless and these favs don’t pay none of our bills to going hard for them especially these arrogant ass celebrities and I could name one in a particular… Moving on Brandy is doing her thing and stay true to herself and people that are fans and stans of other music artists are salty it says a lot about some of you all’s favs
