As the #Starz celebrate the birthday of ‘Have You Ever’ hitmaker Brandy, the Grammy winner’s highly anticipated showing at this year’s ‘BET Honors’ aired tonight.
Receiving a much deserved standing ovation, B-rocka rocked the stage with ‘Without You’ from her latest gem ‘Two Eleven’. See the show-stopping performance below:
No words to describe the amount of vocal slayage that just occurred in that one performance. It is truly with performances like these that Brandy cements her place amongst today’s top vocalists.

UBSDS!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRANDY!!! BEST WISHES TO YOU…YOUR MENTOR WOULD BE SO PROUD!! R.I.P. TO THE LATE GREAT WHITNEY HOUSTON!!
RIP!
Somebody that I know that worked in the entertainment business for a while said that Brandy spends a fortune on her looks/hair/makeup etc. It really pays off tho. She always looks high fashion and beautiful. And when she gets on the stage her and those vocals mean business. I always enjoy hearing her live. So much raw talent. She really deserves more success than she’s getting.
Yea, and ironically she doesn’t even have to spend all the money. Wake Up No Make Up. Thats my B-Rocka!
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!! SANG B****!!! NOW THIS IS WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT!!!!! SHE KILLED THAT, HANDS DOWN! BEYAWNCE TAKE NOTES!! THIS IS HOW YOU SUPPOSE TO RIP A SONG APART WITH CONTROL, EMOTION & PASSION!!! DAM BRANDY!
Some hater WOULD compare. *sigh* The best always stay on ppl’s brains I suppose tho. And FYI, I do prefer Brandy’s voice over beys but leave it to someone like you to start animosity within stan groups. SMH.
How about now you’re irrelevant right about now…..get’cha life!!! NEXT!
What a s*** comeback…
DEAD. TRY AGAIN! @Chile
Im one of brandy’s biggest fans and of course I would choose her over beyonce but i think its truly safe to say you really can’t compare her to no one else. She’s Brandy.
its okay. I like them both. Beyonce always compared to everyone by pressed ppl tho. Smh.
lol! Right!
FLOP FLOP FLOP FLOP
Yes you are. Bye h**.
SMH.
that pic of beyonce Lmao ewwww gworl
OH…MY….GOD! Brandy just slayed me! I literally had to pick myself up off of the ground. Beautiful, flawless vocals!!!! I’m so glad that she went with this song for her next single. I hope she promotes it because its definitely a gem!
She def killed it!
what to expect frim beyawnce interviews and especially with the upcoming Oprah interview.
“She’s very much in control of the way she is perceived by pre-approving questions before interviews, being selective of the outlets she chooses to interview with and filming every single sit-down interview with her very own personal camera”
get ready for alot of crocodile tears.
B**** does this look like a Beyonce post? Be gone.
Lol! How did Bey get in this?
Whats wrong with you?
…And ur bringing up beyonce because?…..
PRESSEDSTANINDENIALALERT!!!
Yaaaaaaasssssss Rocka!!! Lady u know u sang the hell out that song, I was like can I get an ENCORE?! #VocalBible #QueenBee
To the core!
Where’s the next single!?!?!?
Im kinda wondering too last I heard she said on here that there will be a new single but its been almost 2 months or longer since she said that. Im kinda wondering if she’s just going to prep another album and then tour. Either or I want her to not disappear from music for another 4yrs. lol!
P.S. Love you BRandy!!!!!!!!!!
This post is doin good so far no hate at all. Brandy killed it and got a standing ovation. Keep pushing the CD Brandy, nxt single Do You Know.
Ppl go get that CD yall stars like wtf??? Lets get this girl back on top. I bought my CD, Brandy is really working her ass off, if somebody works hard lets show them we appreciate the hard work, go buy the 211 yall.
She looked good sounded good only thing was missin was a Beyonce fan to blow that hair for the dramatics.
Dont have the CD, got buy it!
Right! Hardly any! What can I say?!? She’s loveable. lol!
OH DEAR SWEET THAT GRAPE JUICE STAFF:
I UNDERSTAND YOU LOVE BRANDY BUT IF YOU STILL CAN’T TELL WHEN BRANDY IS LIP SYNCHING OR YOU PURPOSELY IGNORE IT TO GIVE HER PROPS, THEN JUST POST THE VIDEOS AND DON’T COMMENT!
Dear jason shut the f*** up
PS, shut the f*** up
Honey that was RAW singing. You could hear EVERY breath she took. Brandy does NOT need to lip synch sweetheart. Keep it cute.
jason even if she was lip syncing, it would still be HER VOICE with the slayage. rihanna lip syncs and she still sounds bad cuz its HER VOICE she’s lip syncing to
Come on smh Because someone sounds as good as they do in the studio n***** wanna say she lip synced… smh You people are so used to hearing studio artist that you don’t understand pure vocals when you hear them. As was stated b4, you could hear her breathing. Pay attn person and don’t hate so much. Pray, get your mind, heart, and life together. smh
LOL!!! Now thats some funny s***! You wish she did! My baby’s a vocalist! A perfectionist vocalist! She been doing this s*** for years. No need for that. lol! Thanks for the jokie joke!
I go hard for Brandy and have been since 1993. I am so proud of this performance. She continues to raise the bar for female vocalists in the industry. Great job Brandy and happy birthday!!!
You and I both 🙂
Oh I know u do! Lol
I’m really happy to see her utilizing her upper register. Flawless. I don’t understand why she’s so slept on. I mean, as a singer, she truly has the healthiest and most appealing voice and technique. Go-head, girl!
Say that s*** den!
OMG I have chills! This was her best performance! I hope those that questioned why they call her the vocalbible now know. This is a vocalist!! One of the best to EVER hold a mic. WOW!!
I wish I could love this comment! Say that!
SHE SANG THAT SONG.
OMG.
WOW!
I’M IMPRESSED!
Hey, lol! Its nothing new. My baby’s an O.G. to this.
Totally excellent! Go Brandy! Without You would make a great single. Superb vocalist!
& Happy Birthday Brandy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We love you!
lol! Superb! 🙂
BRANDY SOUNDED AMAZING AS ALWAYS!!!! IM SO HAPPY SHE BELTED FOR THE HEAVENS AND DIDNT HIT ONE BAD NOTE!!! I WISH YOU GUYS WOULD STOP COMPARING BEYONCE AND BRANDY!! THEY ARE BOTH AMAZING ARTISTS! THIS IS BRANDY’S TIME TO SHINE!!!! #VOCALBIBLE
She did the dame thing! Say that again!
A F****** MAZINGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!
So Amazing!!
Happy Birthday Brocka! Brans vocals sound so superb! This version was even better than the album version!
Thats how you know she DO THIS. Say that again!
“Beyonce’s always been known as one of the most dishonest singers in the music biz, and even today, almost 15 years into her career, her lies continue like clockwork.
Beyonce’s latest batch of b******* comes from her recent ‘I Am… World Tour’ DVD and it’s accompanying television special. The superstar officially called the DVD her “directorial debut”, with official press releases solely naming her as producer, editor and director. She told Extra that it took her nine months to edit, and then told Nightline’s Cynthia McFadden that the only help she had was somebody who knew how to use Final Cut Pro (though she claimed she could still do the Final Cut Pro by herself).
Beyonce may have been busy telling the world about her incredible skills as a director, but as it turns out she wasn’t the only one directing the DVD — her choreographer and creative director Frank Gatson, as well as Ed Burke, also had a hand in creating it.
“First of all, I must say that I have been so thankful for the success of the ‘I Am…World Tour’ DVD,” Gatson told That Grape Juice in a recent interview. “To co-direct that body of work, along with Beyonce and Ed Burke…”
So, how much did Beyonce actually even do herself?
This isn’t the first time that Beyonce has been caught taking sole credit for other people’s work. She’s often been busted contributing one letter or word to a song, with no changes to the production or arrangement, in order to gain a writing credit, only to then claim she wrote it entirely herself – One hilarious instance saw her Dreamgirls song “Listen” being disqualified from the Academy Awards when the awards’ executive committee found there were too many co-writers on the track and that Beyonce had contributed the least amount to the song out of everybody involved.
But I digress – The “I Am… World Tour” holds another example of Beyonce’s deceitful ways. You see, one key feature of the DVD is that it not only follows Beyonce on tour, but also follows her as she treks around the globe, learning about different cultures and exploring exotic locales. One instance featured the singer making her way through a pyramid in Egypt, and then spontaneously bursting into a rendition of her song “Ave Maria”. It’s an experience that touched the singer deeply — or so she’d like us to believe.
“This time I can appreciate how incredible this is and the history, and I try to live in the moment,” she told Nightline when speaking of her Egyptian escapades.
“I felt like it was important to go and see the pyramids,” she admitted. “It was absolutely spiritual [and] unbelievable and it just shows human ability and power. I felt like ‘I’m not worthy, I shouldn’t be in this pyramid, this is amazing,’ and it was really beautiful because I was able to go to the top and sing.”
Too bad it was all a publicity stunt.
Back in November of 2009 when Beyonce was actually in Egypt, it was arranged that the country’s leading Egyptologist Zahi Hawass would show her around. Here’s what he had to say to a local newspaper when questioned about his experience with the superstar.
“I showed her the Sphinx and I gave her a book on King Tutankhamun,” Hawass said. “She’s a stupid person and she doesn’t understand a thing and she doesn’t want to understand. She’s coming here to take pictures and that’s it.”
Now, over one year later, Hawass’ comments about Beyonce just wanting to “take pictures” make a lot more sense with the recent release of her tour DVD and television special. It’s too bad that Bey only seems to enjoy learning about different cultures when she can use it to help sell her next album or concert special.”
This is messy non-sense. You got that much time in your life? This is a long post.
I didnt feel like reading your comment but based off your likes and the comment above me I can see you’re clearly a hater and you comment has no relevance to this post. Goodnight!
Ur a mad, ugly delusional psycho! And now everyone knows it!! Seek help b****!!!
Lip synced
Receipts?
Definitely lip synced!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great fake out but lip synced.
Once again…receipts?
She did NOT lip synch. From the protruding veins in her neck, breathing & some of the short notes. She sang live as USUAL. Stay pressed!
Lip Synch!!! Where?
Nope. That’s called raw, vocal talent. BRILLIANT performance.
We will see. I remember on this same site people said that she was lip synching the Whitney tribute songs until we saw the rehersals and TGJ interviewed her.
Lets not all assume that good singing is pre recorded singing
Thank you! Some people act like Brandy is completely incapable of delivering a performance with amazing vocals.
Sorry to bust your bubble and you might lose some sleep over me say this BUT……………………………..:) lol! she didnt. My apologies.
P.S.: Sweet Dreams to ya! (hopefully lol).
Brandy did amazing and looked beautiful.. even though her vocals were pre recorded..you clearly can tell
Don’t mean to be mean or hurt your feeling but she didnt. She was live, loud and clear. She DO THIS.
Everybody sounded great tonight, especially Brandy! She was amazing!!
I have to say, these performances at the BET Honors were definitely MUCH better than the ones at the grammys.
That being said, Brandy I LOVE you so much. You sang with a chip on your shoulder, as if you had something to PROVE! Now that’s how it’s done. I know Whitney would be so proud, I bet she’s smiling on you.
Happy Birthday!!
I totally agree! The Grammy performances were NO WHERE CLOSE to being as good as these performances. #fact
YUPPER!!!!!
Unreal!! Brandy slays as usual!! Hope this really is the next single… can’t wait to see the video!!!
She def killed it! All day!
NO WORDS CAN DESCRIBE!! SPEECHLESS!!!!
Right!
Good Job but Ledisi Shredded that stage … DAYUM
Right! Ledisi’s vocals are truly SICK! Love her!
Yasssssssss Brandy!!!!! When I tell you she sang that s***, she SANG that!!!!
Happy Birthday Brandy!!
All Day! and All Night! 🙂
Brandy SLAYYYYYYYYYYYYED!!! She is so unappreciated in this music industry…smh
Very, smh. She and a few others.
LOVE HER!!!!!
AM I THE ONLY ONE WONDERING WHY THAT STAGE IS SOOOOO SMALL????
lol!
So its ok for her to sing to a backing track and not be a big deal? Beyonce does it and its on every new paper. Brandy you are not fooling be with this.
lol! Right, She not fooling nobody. We know she sang that s*** live!!! Trying sing that s*** so GOOD that it sounded better than the album version! smh lol! Brandy be cracking me up sometimes. Thats my vocalist tho. smh! Got to love her.
It was nothing pre- recorded about that performance that was just pure God given talent. Brandy sang the hell out of that song it was better than any performance of the Grammys last night period. Stop comparing Beyonce to this woman. There are no comparisons. Brandy wasn’t taught to sing by a money hungry father like Beyonce was. God gave her a gift and I pray she will continue to bless us with it.
Beyonce has always loved singing since a little girl. Practice and discipline only made her better. Not just her dad.
Preach!
Except about this beyonce part! lol!
Your very naive if u think her dad is what elevated her that voice. that makes no sense. She worked and trained her ass off to earn the voice she has today. BOTH their voices are god given! Dont seperate their talents like that.
People, let’s not act like Brandy can’t SANG. Not just sing, but SANG! Everybody brought out their good singing tonight, ESPECIALLY Brandy. This is why she’s got to keep performing. So people won’t forget how much of a BEAST she is.
ReallY! Tell em again!
Blogs and Internet…
The only place where people care about this chick.
Still today she is one of the better singers out. She still makes very great albums.
Just nowhere near the best.
Talk about exaggeration
The REAL exaggeration is you claiming that ‘blogs and the internet’ are the only places where she’s relevant. LOL some people are so full of themselves, laboring under such delusions of grandeur. SMH
Welp hey, everyone’s entitled to their own opinion so Im not going to hate on you like some of the monsters of this site. But I will say this, I just hope your taste in music isnt filled with gimmick singers (Here sounding GOOD today with no return next year or sooner)
That “I really neeeeeeeed youuuuuuuu” gets me every time! Her phrasing is gorgeous there! My favorite song from the album & that’s saying a lot about an album filled with great songs from top to bottom.
Beautiful performance. So proud of Brandy!
She really did her thing!
Shes been M.I.A. forgot she had an album out no shade…. but this was a good performance wish she would have sung wish your love away…
We can never have a post for Brandy with out yall bringing up Beyonce…those ladies really love and support each other…Get with the program…Brandy killed hands down!!!!! Do i need to say VOCAL BIBLE?????????? Damn!!!! If u dont like brandy stay off post about her!!! GOsh!!
Yea, People need to realize that Brandy is Brandy.
She’s simply brandy.
My girl did her thing tonight! Proud of her!!!!! Keep doing ya thing brandy and please don’t disappear on us again ofr another 4years lol! I know you got a man aka future hubby and all but come on now, dont forget about us lol. #stars!
Love you!
“It doesn’t annoy me, no, because I respect J-Lo. I like her, I think she’s great. And I know that I’m over a decade younger than her, it’s so flattering that I’m so young and people are comparing me to someone who has accomplished so much. But I don’t think I’m like anyone else and really, I’d rather not be compared to anyone else.”
too bad Jlo looks younger. looooool!!!!
laed have mercy, this girl is amazing!!!! i cant wait to see her n LA 22 Feb!!!!
yessir!!!
Yall mad huh???
Lml
Do ya thang Bran…
These n***** stay mad at life
She LIPPED the entire thing.I mean didnt beyonce get crucified for lipping not too long ago.But now that brandy is doing it , its fine.Anyways this was a lazy effort on her behalf and i’m not going to give a standing ovation to some pre-recorded track lol
gtfoh!
Brandy did that!
Brandy you need to drop a new single after wildest dreams.
CH…… Definitely lip synced!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Some of yall are REALLY upset! But guess what? You’ll be staying that way. ki.
Mama slayed. End of.
but brandy didnt get caught…lol
Whitney > Mariah > Brandy……
these are the best vocalists we have ever seen
Sales for “Without You” increased on iTunes after this performance last night. I think the public has chosen the next single!
I’m glad she went with “Without You” for the next single. BEAUTIFUL performance that WASNT lip synced. Eff outta here haters!!! I really want brandy to win. Hopefully her team handles this correctly because it has the potential to be a HIT!
A very good performance, and the song is okay, but I generally have not liked the songs I have heard so far on Brandy’s new album. She needs better material going forward.
I also heard voice strain. She sounded good, but it wouldn’t be a bad idea for her to work with a vocal coach if she’s not working with one already.
I’m sooooo attracted to her tone…
Instead of letting this quality album die, I think she should just do some more singles and try gain a refreshed buzz for it, as there are songs on this record to give it new life & new buyers still..
Re-birth singles:
1. Let me go
2. Do You Know
3. Without you or Scared of Beautiful
I just had to comment again, to all you wannabe critics Bran did not lip sync so y’all can just kick rocks with an open toed shoe! #VocalBible #QueenBee
Did someone just say that brandy needs vocal lessons? LMAO! Brandy has been professionally trained since she was a CHILD. See her singing His Eye Is On The Sparrow at 11 years old. Pitch, control, runs, poise, melismas and her ear for harmony is SICK.
BRANDY NOTHING IS EVER TOO LATER SO KEEP DOING YA THING AND PERFORMANCE HERE AND THERE. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
B****** BE CRAY LIKE FOR REAL BRANDY IS YOUR FAVE FAVE SO GET SHOW SOME RESPECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BITCHPLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
@SAVANNAH, “Did someone just say that brandy needs vocal lessons?”
Right!!! The BIGGEST laugh of the day! If anything, Brandy needs to GIVE vocal lessons.
That performance was perfection. I can’t get enough of it.
WHAT TYPE OF SLAYAGE BRAN!! YAASSS THATS WHY I STAN FOR THIS B**** TOO!??! THIS S*** HAD ME IN MY F****** FELLINGS… SING THAT S*** BRAN!
Love her
Wow, she really grown as a vocalist. I knew she could sing, but not on this level. F*** sells, R&B artist should go independent and focus on making great music instead of first week album sells. Aaliyah, Brandy and Monica will forever be Princesses of R&B.
Brrraaaaannnnnddddyyyyyy! Yasssss!
Speechless.
AMAZING performance!!!!
She killed that ish! So proud and she wasn’t even wearing shoes!
There is no doubt that Brandy’s vocals are and always has been awesome. She is a beast when it comes to her vocals. Her performance and vocals were flawless. She slayed that it. I have loved her since we was a kid and now seeing her as an adult do her stuff. She blew me away…..
So brilliant they just had to say its lip synched. Hating coz their faves can’t compare, they r f*ckin jokes.
I don’t think it gets any better than this! This is pure perfection. I have been riding with Brandy for years and this era has proven to be the best for her musically and most importantly, confidence-wise. I am so proud of her grind and can’t get enough of the music! Keep going, B-Rocka!
baby, this is my 10th time watching this, wow wow wow…
Brandy is a vocal beast period point blank
OMFG that perfomance was epic. Her appearance: ON POINT! Her emotion: EXTREMELY BELEIVABLE!!! Her voice: BRANDY and INCOMPARABLE TO NOBODY ELSE!!!
The video for this song, if it is chosen as a single, needs to be exactly like this! People love THIS BRANDY..that song is such a WEDDING SONG!!! It’s current, catchy and rememberable. I’m at work, playing it over and over, bobbing my head to it. She really needs to do the video just like that: good dress, good hair, good theatre, good dancer, good lighting and it probably wouldnt even cost that much. WELL DONE MS. NORWOOD!!!
Brandy would be a damn foo if she didnt release this as a single and do a video just like that performance. The song is another Have You Ever-statured single with the right video.
If this were a single- AND IT SHOULD BE- there could be so many remixes where rappers and or male singers get on it and do features and duets. This song has the potential to outdo “Put It Down” and be another “Have You Ever” Brandy should definitely stick to performances and videos like this one. She could release this as a single and then “Scared of Beautiful” and leave all that pop music s*** behind and be known as a very dramatic singer because she can clearly do it. This performance proved that!
AMAZING! Well done Ms. Norwood!
Look Yall, What we received from BRANDY with this BET HONORS performance was truly something only the GREATS can do, her ability to deliver those words with such passion , emotion, tambers, and inflections are of such caliber that only Whitney houston has given me in my lifetime. (My Opinion) . We have to remember, its all about the instrument Brandy was given via of those chords. Yes ppl sing louder, or less raspy because they may be a dam saxaphone or trumpet voice (nice) , but Brandy’s voice is a voice that only comes around 1 time in 1000 years , like Whitney …. that is why Whitney picked Brandy on up with her , SHE knew it wasnt like hers but it was just as GOD GIVEN and was created to move Mountains with type of voice , the feeling the , ability to perfectly execute 1/32 and 1/16 notes scales in perfect tune as punctuation to a lyric does not come around often, I mean you got a million ppl that do runs but they dont sound like BRANDY. Its that simple. I even see how she’s using the Dancing with the Stars in this
