  9. Kyle August 31, 2010

    The quote MAY have actually been funny if you got the words right.

  10. international August 31, 2010

    Ahahahahahahahaha!!!

    #dead at that City High reference

    RIP Brandy Norwood’s career. I would hate to be her stan right now..

  11. Steffon August 31, 2010

    I’m a huge Brandy fan and I’m so happy that she’s doing this. I know a lot of ppl are going to be hating but I look at this as a great exposeure. Hope she does well

  12. Sanging August 31, 2010

    B**** gets a nice payday regardless. Even if she f**** up and leaves… $250k-350k on avg.

  13. dob August 31, 2010

    DEAD @ that quote. Brandy is very well off, please believe. She is not doing this for the money. That’s for sure.

    I was not happy about this at first, but in the end, it’s something she wants to do, not something she feels she HAS to do. This will be a good chance for her to get more comfortable on stage and have fun while also getting people who haven’t followed her career for the past 10 years familar with her again.

  14. Beysbetter August 31, 2010

    Brand’s officially a hasbeeen. This certifies it.

  15. dob August 31, 2010

    It’s sad that Brandy has supported and done an interview with TGJ.net in the past, only to be treated with such ridicule and disrespect. I said the same thing about Trey Songz a few weeks ago (who I’m not even a fan of). Difference there was that Trey was actually quite rude to Sam. Brandy, on the other hand, was incredibly sweet and gracious. She did nothing to deserve that shade. Like I said before, you cannot expect to gain future interviews if you treat your supporters in that way.

  16. Diane August 31, 2010

    Is this the best Shay could do? Bristol is going to be the star, not you. And if you don’t win, which black women don’t, it’s simply career s******. R.I.P. Brandy’s career.

  17. TR August 31, 2010

    she’s kinda confirming she a has been! sorry.. that show just reeeks of em.. even though i love it to death.. n ill be watchin

  18. Soulful Roses August 31, 2010

    Don’t come for B-Rockah. Because my girl can easily snatch your wig, trust..

    Anyways, I can’t wait until this airs. I will be tuning in for sure..and did I mention that she can snatch your wig? 🙂

  19. Unbroken August 31, 2010

    It’s a official, Brandy is a certified flop. Poor that.

  20. NO August 31, 2010

    This is what MOESHA’s life has come to??? NO NO NO

    M- to the
    O- to the
    E -to the
    N- to the
    E-to the
    Y-to the

    OH WELL, I don’t understand why Brandy couldn’t make a splash since Full Moon (Aphrodisiac was okay but didn’t do much) yet MONICA is selling out tours and having #1 hits on the R&B charts.

  21. SMH August 31, 2010

    This is SAD!! Why do people who had perfectly good careers & weren’t considered “has-beens” do a has-been show like DWTS. Mario, Brandy, Mya??

    This is a true sign that my childhood is over.

  22. I Am Your People August 31, 2010

    I thought the City High quote was aimed at Bristol Palin. Who is taking care of that kid, anyway?

  23. SMH August 31, 2010

    @I AM YOUR PEOPLE

    Answer: Probably one of Sarah’s inbred banjo-picking relatives

  24. My.Eulogy August 31, 2010

    As we take part in this funeral, let us not dwell on the state of Brandy’s current career for that would only makes us shed disappointment tears, but let’s remember the good times we’ve had. Brandy’s career spanned 15 years before its untimely death. She graced the covers of countless magazines and endorsed products for world-renowned corporations. She touched millions of people through her music, movies and television show. Brandy had a career that many of us could only dream of, and that career allowed her to live an extravagant lifestyle and fulfill all her child hood dreams. It really pains me to see it come to an end. We will miss you Brandy and see you in heaven.

    RIP Brandy’s career.

  25. NICKY August 31, 2010

    @ THE HATERS

    YALL STAY MAD!!!!!! HAHAHAHHA

    BRANDY IS GOING TO HAVE MUCH EXPOSURE WHICH WILL LEAD TO GOOD PROMOTION FOR THE NEW ALBUM

    ALL BRANDY NEEDS IS A HOT SONG AND SHE WILL BE SECURED!!!!! IF MONICA CAN DO IT, BRANDY CAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    BRANDY IS THE TRUTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    PLEASE LISTEN TO ONE OF MY FAVORITE UNRELEASED SONG OF HERS. HANDS DOWN …THE BADDEST!!!! :

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-0uXqErYhI

    TONE , DELIVERY, RUNS, STYLE, ARRANGEMENT, LYRICS A++++

  26. Unbroken August 31, 2010

    @NICKY,

    I’m not sure what exposure you speak off, because Mario, May, Lil-kim, Toni Braxton, Nicole Scherzinger seem to have missed that incentive which DWTS offers. And let’s not get into the countless other has-beens who did DWTS and continue to witness their careers in the slumps.

    And since you brought Monica into this. Monica’s team used a proven strategy in order to get her back in the spotlight. Brandy’s strategy is one that has been done by countless other has-beens and the only result is sh!t exploding on their face.

  27. MrIncredible August 31, 2010

    I’m not a fan of this decision. Only B-list celebrities do Dancing With The Stars. Brandy may indeed be a B-lister at the moment, but if she hopes for a musical comeback in the near future, she shouldn’t be acting like one. SMH

  28. TheYoungLion August 31, 2010

    Her career has been dead for years anyways…. Monica finally finished the job she started 12 years ago. Poor E.T and that receding hairline.

  29. Dutches August 31, 2010

    OMG I use to be so into her music. I haven’t heard any of her stuff in a many years, in that case she’s really not above this show considering her current career situation.
    I probably will never hear her on the radio again but good luck to her.

  30. THEDEAD August 31, 2010

    MONICA>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>brandy

    This just reaffirms it.

  31. 4ever brandy August 31, 2010

    sam fire trent he is sooo lame! brandy is not a hasbeen she juswants to do more than just sing. f*** u beyonce stans… always taking a bunch of stupid s***! she dont give a dmn about u kids bhind the computer blasting single ladies all day…. as for brandy just wait 4 the album… we’ll see whos gonna have the last laugh any plubicity is good plubicity. and sam.. u need a new assistant cuz trentisha juzt likes to bring ppl down..

  32. Boom August 31, 2010

    well people dont utilize the publicity you get from the show correctly
    every person after their ellimination is set up to do all kinds of morning shows, ellen, the view etc… its a higher rated show than Idol. Its great exposure. Lets not forget thats what Brandys career was built off of. She’s doing 5 episodes of the game or vh1 show plus this its a good look.
    AND TRENT YOU HATING UGLY F** SHE DOESNT NEED ANY MONEY WHICH IS WHY SHE’S THE 1ST CONTESTANT TO DONATE ALL EARNINGS TO THE MAKE A WISH FOUNDATION, WHEN YOU DOING IT?

  33. BENJAMIN August 31, 2010

    Eh…..ok. Guess the label is still stalling with the album, so she is just occupying herself. Good luck Bran.

  34. Jasmine August 31, 2010

    That cast is boring. I don’t watch DWTS but I don’t think Brandy should be on the show. If anything she should be using her VH1 show for publicity like Fantasia did to get promo for a record. Maybe she is trying to get double television promo like Kim Kardashian (aka her new friend) since Kim did both DWTS and KUWTK at the same time to boost her publicity. The only difference is that Brandy has real talent and should put out a strong comeback album.

  35. Boom August 31, 2010

    KIM AND BRANDY ARENT FRIENDS BRANDY SUED HER EARLIER THIS YEAR FOR MONEY KIM STOLE FROM THE NORWOODS

  36. luvlife August 31, 2010

    Sheeesh, not trying to hate but c’mon Brandy…. Monica won.

  37. Diane August 31, 2010

    Brandy doesn’t need exposure. Once you become a Disney child, you are well-known. Brandy ain’t Bran Nu.

  38. UMYA August 31, 2010

    Guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurl
    Unless you win that thing this aint gonna jump start your career.
    She needs better Management or something.
    It’s hard for pure R&B acts top make it nowadays but the likes Monica, Fantasia are doing well enough. Brandy should be in there too. The last R&B albums to do well [that I remember] are Sade & Maxwell’s last releases.

  39. UMYA August 31, 2010

    Osnap.
    Just checked that Toni Braxton’s last album kinda flopped.
    I bring her up cuz she did Dancing with the stars as well, before Pulse was released.
    It obviously didn’t help……

  40. bye August 31, 2010

    u betta take what u can git!

    30 year span careers are rare 10 year, 20 year: rare.

    dont knock her for not being a legend. damn tryna make her feel bad for not being a music icon..

  41. hihihihi TRANSFORMING INTO A GOAT August 31, 2010

    @Kyle:

    so true. I only LOLed bc they dont even get a joke right. What WOULD you do…. not what do you do. EpicFail TGJ step it up

    Bran go go go go

  42. KD August 31, 2010

    Oh please, we all know that E.T. has no rhythm, b**** will be eliminated first week.

  43. royalkev August 31, 2010

    I’ll admit that I’m not crazy about this particular career move, but if Brandy has any involvement with DWTS she can still avoid ruining her comeback. Brandy’s never been about gimmicks and I think the very thing that she always relies on (her talent) will aid her in being successful once again. All these Monica stans celebrating her #1 single and big album debut week for her to ALMOST be gold really need to bring it down with the hate. Those sales are actually reminiscent of how Monica used to sell in her prime. She took forever to go platnium! Anyway, I’m not interested in Monica, so I’ll return back to my focus! Brandy is disappointing me with this career choice, but I know what she’s capable of. I won’t give up on her! she deserves a warm welcome with her new music and I believe she’ll get one.

  44. JP August 31, 2010

    LOL @ this blog trying the s*** out of Brandy.

    Brandy is going to have coin no matter what state her career is in and she is always going to be making contributions in the music industry.

    Why is my girl so under appreciated?

  45. DEALwidIT August 31, 2010

    Didnt Brandy say in a Yahoo/r***** interview that she would love doing dancing with the stars… Its not about money at all its about picking her ass off the ground and shwing and exploring another part of her talent.

    I know this show will do wonders for her.. Shes too dope.. theres also news about a Jojo and Brandy Duet in the works. FB show season 2. Compilation Album due by the end of the year i beleive..

    Yeah she defo pushing herself forward again.. Cant wait for her to dance and act with the dancing

    Love her to bits..Do ur thing B

  46. veebz August 31, 2010

    I love Brandy…. But This move really clarifies her career is on ICU #FAIL

  47. Simply Phillip Brown August 31, 2010

    Brandy’s career is far from over folks……

  48. chartfacts August 31, 2010

    Not sure how i feel about this. I think that she should be doing with Monica and Fantasia did instead of making youtube clips. Go on the small club circuit in urban cities and get your name back out there.

    Sure, you’re only gonna make about $5k to $10k but it’s laying the ground work. Not sure if her demo watches this show. I don’t even watch this show.

    I guess it’s for the $$$$

  49. chartfacts August 31, 2010

    @Umya:

    Whitney: I look to you 965k US 2.5m shipped WW, 1.9mil sold WW platinum in the US
    Mariah: MOIA 501k US, 850k WW, Gold, Platinum single- Obsessed

    TreySongz- 820k US, several top 10 r*B hits

  50. Mely B August 31, 2010

    I’ve been a fan of Brandy since she debuted and have mixed feelings about this. I really don’t watch DWTS regularly and after what they did to Mya, I have no desire to support this show but hope that whatever she hopes to get out of it, she does.

    I agree with a previous poster that Brandy should just get back in the studio, maybe do an EP, do small venues & club dates so people can get behind her music again.

  51. Kweli69j August 31, 2010

    why Brandy?? i love her more than anyone but why??

  52. Yours Truly August 31, 2010

    My only concern is what kind of weave/lacefronts is she going to wear on the show and will they fall off during the chi chi and the tango??? Things that make you go hmmm

  53. ~Team Weezy~ August 31, 2010

    Not particularly fond of this DWTS BS, but I still love my Bran Bran! Her talent overpowers EVERYTHING! I’m actually not as disappointed with this move as I was with the reality show that she has with that lame dude she calls her brother.

    I’m very excited about her new music, though! Anxiously waiting, Brandy! Loves her! <3

    And what do you know, I actually agree with @Nicky about something! *shocked face*

    Team B-ROCKAH b******! 🙂

  54. JonBerry August 31, 2010

    Yet another year of bullsh*t! Wait did I see David Hasselhoff’s name? Hey that guy beat his wife…LOL. Oh I forgot he’s an old version of serial wife beater Eminem so all is forgiven and quickly forgotten. NEVER MIND!

    Bristol Palin? Shouldn’t she be at home nursing her illegitimate child?

    Mike ‘The Situation’ Sorrentino REALLY? Like I always say, ANYONE CAN BE A SUPERSTAR now can’t they?…LOL 🙂

  55. Bran ‘nu August 31, 2010

    Lol.. Please tell me how it could be tacky?
    it’s a SHOW?
    ITS FOR ENTERTAINING PURPOSES.
    NOT TO DRAW UP A CROWD FOR HER UPCOMING ALBUM.
    WHY IS THAT YAW ALL HAVE SOO MUCH TIME TO CRITICIZE HER, BUT CAN NEVER LIFT YOUR FINGER TO SAY ANYTHING GOOD… Slow bit** thats what it is… It’s called Blogging I guess… Get a life 4 most of yaw sitting over there stuffing yaw face in ur mother’s basement on that old as* windows 97′

    I am so fed up with people who sit at home and have enough time on their hands or should I say wayyy to Much time.. to talk ___ about Brandy. People r always hating and far from knowing what their talking about… Faggets need to take a nap or something. ___bloggers get on my nerves.
    yaw really need to research news about brandy pictures and new tracks her being in the studio…her writing music for ppl. bit** check yaw motherfu** archives n Stop Searching for di** “Dummies”

  56. Bran ‘nu August 31, 2010

    So Please Not One Of u Try and Storm this way becuz It’s Mostly the f**’s that hate.
    Upset With What yaw write? Not bothered, but do some research Before you think someone Career is over…

    She is still Getting Checks.

    Plus the Vocals R Out of this World..

    U F**’s Career Will Never even Bloom From the Dirt, So You Should Go Extinct b4 u Even try.

  57. Bran ‘nu August 31, 2010

    Hey JP

  58. NAS ( B Rockah Stan 4eva) August 31, 2010

    Come on both HATERS and LUKE-WARM FANS, Brandy isn’t doing this for money but just to get her name out there. Yeah and I understand what most of you meant by doing nothing to the other contestants career. However onething y’all failed to realised was those people weren’t exactly Brandy. We are all individual, to each his own as well as our own person hence no one should use someone else’s ill-fate as their own (this goes to all of the beyond hopeful folks on here)!
    Brandy will forever remain in the entertaiment industry due to her creativity and her other ventures coming in her way.
    As a matter of fact this isn’t like committing a crime so if anyone of you claims to be her die hard fan like me then support her though out and STOP bashing her cuz afterall it’s only entertaiment!!!!!!!!!!

  59. NAS ( B Rockah Stan 4eva) August 31, 2010

    Stay mad HATERS!!!!

  60. NAS ( B Rockah Stan 4eva) August 31, 2010

    @ Trent, you are just as PATHETIC as those HATERS on here cuz I thought you were better than that damn SNACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  61. monique August 31, 2010

    not happy about brandy being on the show

  62. Criss_Vaughn September 1, 2010

    Well, aint no way Bran’ dropping a CD in 2010 now.

  63. TheYoungLion September 1, 2010

    Monica still shitting while Brandy is still flopping…. Stay mad ET fans!!!!
