Sis still looks pregnant :( she did good but she hit a bad note and it?s like she started doubting herself and held back from really killing the end ... but for the most part she did good and it was all live . You can tell she was nervous

Not saying she hasn't been nervous in the past but she seems like a completely different person from when she was doing Roxie. I wonder if the weight has anything to do with it

if you're saying it's bad it must be terrible ..lol

I honestly didn't have a problem with her vocals or the performance, but moreso her look. If you gain weight you need to wear clothes that are more flattering ...especially if everybody and they mama will be staring at you and all over the world in the video. She looks a little sloppy. I hope she pulls it together cuz this isn't her. I'm going back to my original theory. Brandy is gaining weight in an effort to "connect more spiritually and physically" with Syrai.. since she's also overweight.. Bran would totally do some crazy shit like that.

You know I thought about it once that Bran gained weight to help Sy?rai with her insecurities... but I was like nahhh that?s a reach b/c the smart thing to do is to help your child make better healthier choices and keep them active

I think she?s in good voice right now, so that?s a plus and wasn?t the issue. Definitely nerves which is kinda cute and isn?t at the same time lol but she?s an artist that?s very aware of her shit, thank God.

I thought this too. I don't wanna get too much into her weight but I think she's dealing with depression and on meds for it. Not sure how these other people on here can say, "wooo love the head space she's in" "she looks sooo happy" when she's clearly off from any Brandy we have ever seen before.

this isn?t true at all. She was very chill and peacueful during the FM era, AFRO, Human ...


If you just want her to be loud and super chipper and bone thin, then say that lol but don?t comment on what other people are saying as if that?s wrong or poor judgement or something. Who tf are you?

She looked and did fine.

Not my fave vocal from her but it's still charming for her. Brandy vocals are usually very polished and very rehearsed, so it's interesting to hear her this raw.
Title: Re: August Greene - Tiny Desk Concert Feat Brandy (Optimistic Performance)
Post by: BrandyFromTheFuture on February 21, 2018, 08:04:42 PM
Beautiful. Just an absolutely beautiful performance by Brandy and everyone else. I think she was very nervous but she doesn't have to be, she's incredible.

Guys, this is why I love BRANDY! This performance made me forget about all the wait & all, all she has to do is stand there and sing. It probably also helps that this was a proper live performance with real instruments behind her. More of this please for her new era!

Also this song has potential, I want them to perform this on one of the late night shows.

Post by: lovechild on February 21, 2018, 08:07:11 PM
It was a bit amateurish . 2012 Brandy would?ve ate this performance . It felt like it was the first performance and no rehearsal . But yeah I think between the breakups , the law suits , sis has never carried this much weight and we can only speculate what?s really going on . It looks like she just put on something casual in her closet . Wasn?t a terrible performance but it was just missing that special thing that she usually delivers . Even during common free styling she is yelling yaaaaas in the background instead of being in performance mode . TBH I think she is a bit too relaxed and I think this is Brandy without the force of a label behind her . She?s an icon !! She should slay any setting

And whatever the case, it wasnt her best or even close to it. We know she can sing live as she did it for months and months on broadway and otherwise, so it?s not some big deal. make up for it the next time

I?d love to see more intimate things like this soon. I?d always wanted her to those Rap-up videos on YouTube when it was a thing

The good thing about those is that she can also do a few takes, if she's nervous in the beginning. I'd love a more acoustic Brandy tbh. And I'm not saying she should pull a Kehlani, but just some stripped back stuff for a handful of performances.

And whatever the case, it wasnt her best or even close to it. We know she can sing live as she did it for months and months on broadway and otherwise, so it?s not some big deal. make up for it the next time

!!!!!

I just love how Zen u are when it comes to Brandy while being realistic, sometimes I just wanna shake Queen and b like wake up! Ur BRANDY, a muhfuckin LEGEND!
:stressed:
thank you! I wanna do the same thing more often than not :dead: i?ve Just realized that she?s a very ..  very unique individual sdddd and that?s ok. I wouldn?t dare try and figure her out. Not anymore

I don?t doubt her fire, though. I think she will want to do this again and really rehearse it like crazy just to put any questions to bed but I could be wrong

I permit Bran grace with this one. I just hope we get a ?gag? in 2018 from Bran. Like...an actual gag. This consistent mediocrity from 2016-2018 has me weary chile :uhh:

That wasn?t good. I?m glad she did it, but i knew that intimate setting would be a little too different for her sssss

I hope she does it again and redeems herself

if you're saying it's bad it must be terrible ..lol

I honestly didn't have a problem with her vocals or the performance, but moreso her look. If you gain weight you need to wear clothes that are more flattering ...especially if everybody and they mama will be staring at you and all over the world in the video. She looks a little sloppy. I hope she pulls it together cuz this isn't her. I'm going back to my original theory. Brandy is gaining weight in an effort to "connect more spiritually and physically" with Syrai.. since she's also overweight.. Bran would totally do some crazy shit like that.

!!!!

You know I thought about it once that Bran gained weight to help Sy?rai with her insecurities... but I was like nahhh that?s a reach b/c the smart thing to do is to help your child make better healthier choices and keep them active

I thought this too. I don't wanna get too much into her weight but I think she's dealing with depression and on meds for it. Not sure how these other people on here can say, "wooo love the head space she's in" "she looks sooo happy" when she's clearly off from any Brandy we have ever seen before.
this isn?t true at all. She was very chill and peacueful during the FM era, AFRO, Human ...


If you just want her to be loud and super chipper and bone thin, then say that lol but don?t comment on what other people are saying as if that?s wrong or poor judgement or something. Who tf are you?

You took that wrong but cool go in lol. Just my opinion. I want what's best for her. Dont know her personally so it's not like I stated a fact, just another fan. Respect your response though.

On second listen, she was nervous but still tried to have fun and get the audience involved. Her outfit makes a little more sense looking at how the rest of them are dressed.

I love her honesty, but sometimes when you tell people you?re nervous, they expect you to not deliver your best.

That man was getting on my nerves. And this is not a song for this type of venue given that the original had a whole choir. It needed at least 1 female background singer.

Her voice is just simply beautiful. No auto tune needed.  Her problem is that she doesn't take risks and plays is too safe. There's no reason for her not to belt or reach for hit some higher notes in live performances. We all know she can do it.

Also this song is genuinely fitting for the resistance movement, to keep people uplifted. Im interested in seeing if/how it will be used in the coming months.

This isn't the original. This could've been fine.  Let's just call a spade a spade, Brandy didn't sound good.  Her voice sounds worn and dry. It lacked resonance, Blah blah blah. Hopefully she does better next time

I don?t like when she sings live along to her recorded voice. It always makes the performance seem like it?s missing something. Her stuff is too layered for that.

laughing and crying are hard to sing through

The warmness of her tone her is everything but she didn't really have any vocal "moments" you know Bran usually has two or three runs in every performance that have you like :gorlonfire:

But this was her first time singing it live, right? her first performance of Departed was a mess and B&P was just okay. It takes Bran a few tries before she starts killing. Every star knows that.

she sounded nervous on the first couple lines and then got into it and sounded good. but when she got to the final chorus and had to do ad libs, her voice was too hoarse and she was straining to hit the top notes. that's just the thing with bran's voice now. sometimes its effortless up there and sometimes, she's hoarse and raspy and have trouble belting. but that is probably due in part to her not fully taking care of her voice these days.
