Brandy Wows ESSENCE Festival with 'When You Touch Me' Live Despite Saying Song Was “Too Difficult” to Perform

Brandy is the gift that keeps giving.

For, in a bid to treat fans, the Vocal Bible has even gone against her own word, chapter, and verse.

In a recent interview with True Exclusives, the GRAMMY winner was quizzed about performing fan favorite ‘When You Touch Me.’ Responding, she fessed that the song and its housing album, ‘Full Moon,’ challenged her in terms of range and left her uncertain about how to present such tracks in the here and now.

Well, that changed last night (July 4) at the 2026 ESSENCE Festival of Culture in New Orleans.

Because not only did B-Rocka perform ‘When You Touch Me’ as part of her headlining set with Monica, she smashed it.

    I don’t know why but it always seems that she be lip syncing.

    • thatkitty July 5, 2026

      because she is

      • Simon July 5, 2026

        She hasn’t sung live in a while now.
        The whole tour w Monica was lipped.
        That vocal bible title really messed her up and I think the expectations people have of her just made her stop singing live

    • thatkitty July 5, 2026

      Yeah vocal Bible she is not. I can’t remember any outstanding live performances from her

      • 🐝 July 5, 2026

    This ashy cursed voodoo ain’t s***! Holy bible my ass. Jesus ain’t on her side since she hit and kill somebody. God took away her gift. This ho can’t sing no more

    I don’t think majority here understand vocal stacking.

    • MecostaDenada July 6, 2026

      They don’t. Must people have no clue about singing. They think the louder or stronger you are the better. They know nothing about nuance, and color.

    • Scoopz July 10, 2026

      What has vocal stacking on her studio work got to do with this live performance?
