i feel its super appropriate in this instance
GHan has inspired so many Black lil girls and boys with her music and journey
and her innovation
an important part of this story the Grammys is telling about her being a beacon for those who came after her is the fact that she is Black
but given the Grammys history, I see why the title can give people a bit of pause.
the smallest part of me def thought "why it gotta be BLACK icon? hmmm? :plea: "

I have to do more research into what kinda program this is at the Grammys...I'm sure it was created to highlight Black entertainers but it's really just a "here damn" award that won't be presented on main stage but nonetheless I'm very happy for Bran.
They love giving that Dr. Dre Icon Award to some weird ass men

Congrats!!!!! Much deserved.
I bet Harvey Mason is behind this decision he is the CEO of the Recording Academy and he has worked with Bran. This is great! And it says Adam Blackstone will be the music supervisor for the night so there must be some kind of performance happening
I can't wait for clips
Collect all the praise, Queen!
Sssssssssssssssssssssssssss
:gorlonfire: :gorlonfire: :gorlonfire:
This feels like the beginning of the "Powers That Be" trying to catch up with the consensus of the people that have coined Bran "The Vocal Bible"...
so that they're on the right side of history. Cause they know damn well for her IMPACT, she should have more than 1 Grammy, which is a shared one at that...
Kinda like how the Oscars gave Angela Basset an "honorary Oscar" after all those damn snubs.
WOW! The Power of "The Vocal Bible" title + the validation of a widely successful nationwide tour :heythere: ...
Love this :blessed:

:flamebroiled:
Deserving!
Wow and she does the minimal while others have to release a 3 part album every year and bully the Grammys into
giving them awards. Brandy earns her accolades honestly.
Brandy has true star power! Can we all say Longevity? And I'm sure more is to come in the future.
Finally, Monica can no longer say, "The only Grammy we have is together."

so as a fan, you're glad Bran gives us under promoted albums every 4-8 years with 2 low budget singles and videos?
How dare these other artists give their fans full ERAs, visual albums, cohesive genre bending compilations and sold out STADIUM tours. That's supposedly bullying

As a fan, I am happy she obeys her artistry and creates in whatever divine timing looks like. I don't require anyone
I'm a fan of rushing their art just because I want it or feel like they are going to fade away. Clearly, the way Brandy creates and has shaped her career is working for her.
Also, a lot of those artists are itching to make history, and not in a good way. Just to say they did it or were the first to do so. Fame is a hell of a drug, and Brandy is not strung out on it!

wanting to make history isn't always about fame. Some artists want to be remembered and have a long lasting legacy. You can tell when a girl doesn't even have social media and doesn't pop out unless it's a special occasion
I wonder if this will be like the BMI Awards where they'll have girls actually perform?
I LOVE THIS!!!! YES, BRANDY!!!!!

I'm amped and they better get the right ppl
So happy for our girl!
Congrats. Well deserved.
I hope all this attention and respect she has been shown inspires her to get in the studio. She got a chance that a lot of artist don't have for real!
