My goodness, do any of you go to church ? Let me. Start by saying Brandy has an undisputed and incomparable gift. That voice WILL NOT BE DENIED. I'ts unfortunate some of you can't hear the magnificence that is Brandys voice. The unique tone, the dark rasp, the intricate runs and riff acrobatics, how deep she can go..... how HIGH she can go, the crispness and flawless execution.... she never cracks.... she sounds like mix and mastered track even when she's singing live. That's one reason why she's been underrated for so long Is because her albums are full of lush production and vocal harmonies stacking that create a rich and most sonic ambience , and the average listener isn't catching the fact that a lot of the sounds and beats you're hearing is Brandys actual voice being used as an instrument within the entire musical peice. I won't argue with anyone about the moniker "Vocal Bible" But if you're interested in learning why, a good place to start would be " I Tried", "when you touch me" and "love wouldn't count me out" ... all from the FULL MOON ALBUM.

Now let's get on these snippets.
Brandy is annointed. They call her the VB because when you take away the studio and the lush production that has been her signature sound and produced these classic albums , it would take a soul-less person to not recognize that this girl is the truth with no gimmicks or preservatives. The emotion that she can convey while flawlessly floating through notes hasn't beeen duplicated to this day!

About the Beyoncé comparisons....
(Though I rather not,)

It's really ironic , this debate reminds me of the nicki vs Remy convo. My opinion is that the black community continues to belittle diminish , shade our talented women of darker complexion. Through history it's always the dark brown women who get the worst insults.

Think about Pam from Martin vs Gina.

My point is Beyoncé is and will forever represent greatness and black excellence at ya highest level. Work ethic unmatched and it speaks for itself. She's the complete package and the best entertainer we've got and the girl can blow ( Duh!!!)

The fact that brandy is a 90s artist and being cared to Queen B in 2017 tells you how good she is!

But in conclusion , take away the stadiums , the hair makeup and perfect body, and put brandy in a room and just "flatfoot sing" ..... she will annihilate her competition every time. She was put on the earth to sing. Her voice heals souls when heard. She makes people cry often... because there's a purity in her voice that can't be cloned with going through God himself.

Prime example ... that year Beyoncé sung that gospel song at the Grammys from Selma in all white. Now I won't go as far as to say she sounded bad, but if an artist like fantasia or Brandi would've sang that song it would've been an overwhelming emotion in the room.... why because Beyoncé is simply singing another perfect " Beyoncé approved" performance. But singers like jazmin Sullivan, lauryn hill, brandy, will close they're eyes, forget about looking cute and sing that song like it's the last song they will every song. There's a diffrence when you're singing for applause Opposed to singing from the heart.
