I saw Brandy's mom post about them watching concert footage together from Brandy's career over the years and how proud she is of B, praying for her continued health and high energy. :wub: she's been through a lot and keeps going and going. Hopefully Brandy makes herself proud and then of course make the fans proud as a result.

It actually works as a cover and the title makes so much sense. The perfect nod to "Full Moon". So happy that she's getting to share her story in a way I hope was healing for her.

new? Brandy has never really expounded on ANY of her stories that are out there.  She don't need new.  Tell us what happened with thea vidale on the set of thea, tell us what happened with countess vaughn and Sheryl on the set of moeshsa, moesha set shit IN GENERAL, Growing up rich shit and some of the stories we DEFINITELY never got, passing out and the eating disorder rumors. What happened with Monica and the boy is mine shit at MTV and in the recording of the 2nd album in general. Her being pregnant and the fake marriage. The car accident.  The REAL shit behind "brandy is free" and the record contract shit. Whitneys death and how it affected her.  What was in that damn note Whitney passed to her,  etc. Brandy dont need to talk about new shit. Just get into and REALLY talk about all the old shit that she has glossed over because she wanted to be this media trained girl next door.  Brandy has a ton of shit to talk about.  I just fear that she won't really go there

This is so true that she doesn't give full stories. After Brandy said on snapchat years ago that she never wanted to be an actress. It made me want her to be candid like typical former child stars ab she & her parents.

Zendaya said 2 years ago in an interview that she doesn't know how much choice she had to be a child actress, that she realized as an adult that she's only doing what she's known and this life is all she knows, mentioned she feels like she's in the phase of going through teenage years since she didn't get the chance to have one, wished she went to college, & spoke ab what it was like being a provider starting at 14 for her family.

With Brandy all she told us was that life was detrimental that was it. Ray J said once they were put in acting classes at 2 and 4. So Brandy has a typical child star story to tell especially on par w Zendaya but she has never told the full story.
