Great interview! She has come such a long way as a human being. I remember those early days when she was on Thea but didn't you pay much attention until "I Wanna Be Down" which EVERYBODY in my school was singing. "Best Friend" was me and my bestie's ( RIP, girl) song but even then I couldn't call myself a fan. Moesha didn't air in my city so I never built that connection. But I do remember "Sitting Up In My Room" was the first single I ever purchased but I still wasn't a fan. I was firmly in the Monica camp even though I liked a fair amount of Branch's music. Then I saw I Still Know, and being such a horror fan, she kind of blew me away and to me she steals the film. Still wasn't there to call myself a fan but then a few years later came Afrodisiac and I have been a stan ever since. But Brandy has always been a part of my life. I bought my niece the Brandy Barbie doll just so she could see anything was possible as a little black girl. I was talking about B7 and this white woman interrupted our conversation to talk about how much she loved Cinderella. So when people say Brandy is a legend, I have to agree. The music holds up, and in the end that's all that matters.
