I think Bran's way too afraid of failure. In every sense.

She wants to thrive and succeed, masters  the hell out of her craft, records at every opportunity but when she's about to release or promote, starts to doubt herself, her own product and waits for "the right time" too long until said momentum's possibility is long gone. The same fear that causes her to lipsync that often.

She definitely has the potential

But I don't think it will happen unless an act of Divine intervention.

I've realized Brandy's problem isn't just music politics

Vaughn as her publicist for the last decade stunned me. Along with the her team pretty much being paid interns.
Along with the refusal to sing live, the resistance to put out music. Not wanting to let go of Frank Gatson.

Her contract with Chameleon was settled in 2017. Why couldn't we get two EP's in 2018/2019? And then the album release in 2020? Anyway...

Brandy is repped by CAA. No entertainer deciding to be repped by them has hired paid interns. It's the top agency in the biz. If she was into having paid interns she would be like some entertainers who choose not to have an agent.

Her cousin is no slouch either. He's been managing Metro Boomin for a few years who just headlined at Coachella, has multiple #1s, who just did the soundtrack for the upcoming Spiderman movie & has numerous brand deals. He also manages Vory who is one of the most popular artists in the industry.

Her team is clearly good bc every time ppl think her career is over they keep landing major opportunities.

No entertainer just lands a partnership w Disney somebody on her team bagged her that. She went from only acting every 3 years to now landing roles every year since 2021 has to do w the clout she has in hollywood & her agent.  Can't wait to see what else they've been working on bc clearly a lot is in the pipeline for her. No one on here thought they were lining her up to do more endorsements.

Also, many of you have to get over the fake concern for music. It's simply not her passion. It's really okay that she's not in love with it. She started in 93'. Many singers/actors would love the opportunity to have the choice not to do something. That's a privilege that she has. Even w acting the fact that she's in the position to take the roles she wants instead of having to take everything is beautiful. Love that for her.

Quote from: Murrah on May 23, 2023, 11:22:47 AMYou're suffering for 2 reasons:

1. Because she doesn't need the money, and even if she does need more she has acting options which is better than the music industry. Girls like Lalah Hathaway, Fantasia, and Mya keep their fans fed by releasing new music and touring cause they have to. For the most part music was their only avenue to make money and they never had a slew of major brand deals.

2. The passion is not there. She has nothing to prove. She's an amazing vocalist but she was never an artist outside of the studio. Brandy's vocal arrangements is where her artistry ends. She doesn't care about visuals and live shows like a Gaga, Janelle Monae etc. She was a teenager who had dreams of being a megastar like Whitney Houston, mission accomplished. She was a teen pop star, we all just lucked out by actually being able to witness her mature into a superb influential vocalist. Brandy has a love for music and recording but it ends in the studio where she let's it all out. She's not that artist that's dying inside if her precious art isn't being released to the public or if she doesn't hit the stage.

Bonus: She's also not thirsty or desperate for fame and willing to do anything just to stay relevant. Ciara and Kelly Rowland are clear examples of that. Alternatively, look at how someone like Ashanti just goes out and makes her show money then goes right back to being on vacation despite being commercially viable.

Bran really is in the sweet spot in her career to do WTF she wants.

Don't want to perform, doesn't have to. Don't want to put out music, doesn't have to. Don't want to go to events, doesn't have to. A lot of entertainers would love to have such a privilege.

Despite her being an introvert she's still managing to land endorsement deals & good roles. Even w acting Bran doesn't have much movie experience especially lead roles but she's still booking great roles which says a lot. Someone like her is making 6 figures an epi for TV so why would she go trot herself on stage when she can simply sit on a set & agree to an endorsement & make way more money doing that.

in this day and age

there's really no EXCUSE for bran to not be releasing music in some capacity. it's 2023, and sis has the chops and resources to record some mess at HOME and release it independently. she just doesn't WANT to. which, for what it's worth, is better than recording album after album and not releasing SHIT *cough*monica*cough*

they're both a mess, tbh. kelly too. this hoe said she was releasing every quarter last year

 :omf:

MONICA IS HILARIOUS. BUT I ACTUALLY THINK IT'S A METHOD TO HER MADNESS.  :fuming:

She's COMING

Quote from: Brandy's Unconditional Ocean on May 24, 2023, 05:28:36 PMClaude Kelly just tweeted this about Queen. She's had a great career lol the whole "comeback" thing is stupid to me. 

https://twitter.com/claudekelly/status/1661438184838889489

I'm confused too ab what she needs to "comeback" for in music. Even w only 7 albums & barely performing her name rolls off of her peers mouths throughout the year. All she has to do now is continuing to build up her Broadway & Hollywood legacies.

She's at the point in her career where she has to establish herself as a serious actress. She needs a Brendan Fraser moment & that's clearly what her team is working on.

WELL, AT LEAST SHE IS A CONVERSATION. THAT IS HUGE IN TODAYS OVER POPULATED INDUSTRY :plzstop:  :kii:  :dead:

This!..... Brandy has always been trying to recapture her glory years of when she was a teen, she desperately wants the public to love her again like in the 90s,and she sees failure of her music projects as rejection from the public

Scott.

She's a legacy act and it's nothing wrong with that. Hell I honestly think Mary is a legacy act now too.

Brandy is repped by CAA. No entertainer deciding to be repped by them has hired paid interns. It's the top agency in the biz. If she was into having paid interns she would be like some entertainers who choose not to have an agent.

Her cousin is no slouch either. He's been managing Metro Boomin for a few years who just headlined at Coachella, has multiple #1s, who just did the soundtrack for the upcoming Spiderman movie & has numerous brand deals. He also manages Vory who is one of the most popular artists in the industry.

Even w acting the fact that she's in the position to take the roles she wants instead of having to take everything is beautiful. Love that for her.

CAA is her management and her relationship with them is fairly new, within the last 3-4 years? Management is just one facet. There are other aspects of an entertainers career other than management you know? Like having a PR team?

But like I said, for other aspects of her career....I mean Vaughn is her publicist. She should be working with a publicist that can broaden her reach.

And how is it fake concern if were voicing our discontent with it not being her passion, when it's what she's KNOWN for and it's what she keeps bread-crumbing us with? If it's not her passion anymore, well...what is the point? No shade, but I don't think many of us stan Brandy for her acting over her music.

CAA is not management. It is a talent agency. They have been listed on her press statements for at least 10 years. Her manager is her cousin.  Agent, manager & lawyer are the most important roles on an entertainer's team.

It doesn't matter why most claim to stan her on here. Her career has never been solely music based so why be shocked that she doesn't live & breathe music? She didn't even start off as a professional singer.

I would like to add that CAA does have paid interns though. A big agent can only do so much in a day and they usually only focus on their top talent, they have lower-level agents aka interns to take care of the rest of their roster.

Agree on Brandy being in a sweet spot.
