Just my opinionata

This entire "legacy act" thing is way too ambiguous and varied in personal definition to debate anyway

We could literally be talking about entirely different things

Summertime

Quote from: NEW MOON on May 22, 2023, 11:37:48 PMI think I've finally let go of the idea that Brandy will have this epic comeback in music, but I hate that she is now just reduced to her classics in the public eye. I feel like this really will be the new normal for Brandy fans/stans and we will just get a couple new songs every other year. Idek see her making albums anymore once she reaches her 50s.

Is she ever coming back? She's been MIA since December and we're heading into June. I think she needs to make a choice when it comes to her music career, either push through or just make a retirement announcement and commit to acting fulltime. These limbo periods are exhausting.

You have to remember that she started off her professional career as an actress. Yeah she sung backgrounds but Thea came before the Atlantic signing. She said long time ago she prefers Hollywood over the music industry. She's making pretty good money when she acts & said she doesn't audition for stuff so her name carries weight in Hollywood. All Bran has to fix is her visibility problem. Would love to her get to the point where she's top billed for a summer blockbuster.

It is .

Someone could actually have a "legacy act" that's so strong that it could translate into a non-"legacy act"

Unless the artist in question is releasing #1 singles nonstop like a hot/new/trendy/current artist would , it's not that simple.

If you have to reference a tour every time to prove they are not a "legacy act". You could indeed be referring to a "legacy act" - just a VERY strong one .

I hope that makes sense

It makes sense
Exactly, that's the way I interpreted and it makes perfect sense. Beyoncé and Nicki are legacy artists to me atp but they're both presently slaying commercially as well which is rare.

She shouldn't even be trying to chase the charts at this point in her career.

Brandy paid her dues. She can afford to just make music for the hell of it.

Actually releasing it is where the problem lies...

Do we really need to ask that question when she literally has songs that directly and explicitly reference her legacy

One of those songs actually being someone's  username on here

If that's not a "legacy act" I don't know what is

BAPHOMET.

I don't feel like reading the OP again. But isn't a legacy act just another term for a Nostalgia Act which is someone washed up ?

I said what the fuck I said. A legacy act doesn't automatically mean no longer commercially successful in the present-tense although that's usually the case.
