Learn The Hard Way
Nodding Off

A young me didn't appreciate this song the first time I heard it. It wasn't until "Afrodisiac" came out and I revisited the song that I LOVED it.

How do yall think Learn the Hard Way would've done as a single?

It pains me when I watch NSN album reaction videos and the people end up yawning as this song goes on. As much as I love it, I think they could have chopped one or 2 repetitions of the chorus.

That goes without saying lol. She could have had 9 singles of that album and it's crazy to think we can't even get 3 now :kii:

I always thought Learn The Hard Way or U Don't Know Me could've been a cool follow-up single to TBIM from a story-telling/theme standpoint... LTHW just would've needed a radio edit version for sure

Justice for album cuts on this tour!

Even if it's a 10-15 minute mashup of album cuts from NSN and Full Moon, we deserve that.

Also, I hope that time isn't wasted doing covers of Whitney Houston's songs.

!!!!! There's so many songs that would've SMASHED. Why didn't U Don't Know me smash though? From my memory, I just don't think they really promoted it. I didn't even know it was a single or had a video until my mom bought me that VHS music video collection.  :dead:

I GAGGGGGGED!

Bran was tired and overwhelmed by the time they got to U Don't Know Me

Look at this. Her voice was BARELY audible

More singles would've killed her. That's probably why we only get 2 singles going forward each era

My sister played that Brian Adams cover at her wedding and she is just a casual Brandy fan. I'm sure that song has been played at thousands of weddings.
