Title: Do you guys feel Brandy...
Post by: King82 on June 08, 2016, 05:04:54 PM
needs to do music videos to support her releases?

I don't think any of her visuals benefit her.

She just needs to book live televised performances and upload them to YouTube moving forward.

Just a thought.

Bitch she HAS to. Her music video catalogue post Afrodisiac era is a joke frankly

Exactly why I feel like she should stop with the visuals now. It's not her forte.

Her live performances are wayyyy more captivating anyway.

Well first let's hope we get more than two singles this time kssnsnskwje then we'll talk visuals. I just hope she MILKS the fuck out this next album. Oh and tbh B&P video was lack luster  :udontlookok:

That's honestly why I think I've been able to remain patient. I don't want this to be a one and done era.

Interestingly enough, her BEGGIN AND PLEADING PERFORMANCE > The video for it

I LOVE the quality of the video but yea the performance was EVERYTHING. she still doesn't get enough credit from the fans on this forum when it
comes to that performance. If her vevo was in order, that performance would have been great to upload to it.

Oh well.

I wouldnt mind one or two singles being just tv singles, in that sense P H O E N I X posted, 2 songs get a video, and 2 other songs are heavily promoted on tv. As long as she promotes 4 different songs during a long era, Im fine
Title: Re: Do you guys feel Brandy...

Her performances don't do her justice either to be really honest.

In comparison to what we know her to be capable of, she has a hard time capturing the essence for the broader audience. You really must study her to see the magic.

She needs to keep doing videos she just need better video directors to tell her story visually... There are so many especially today... I want her to work with Grant Singer he does videos for The Weeknd, Vic Mensa and I think Ariana Grande latest one w/ Weezy

one thing is sure: you can make a cheap video but sooo cautivating and athospheric, something that curiously fit Brandy perfectly. so... no need of big budgets.  That shouldnt be the excuse anymore. not with all these talented and cheap directors.

My biggest gripe with the Begging and Pleading video is that it didn't entirely capture the essence of the song lyrically. But yea, I prefer the live version too.

The way the video was kinda hyped up, I definitely expected more.

Now this, I actually agree with. Bran is just NOT a visual artist, so I think people should just stop expecting her to give Gaga/Rihanna videos, with a side of Madonna/Florence & Co stage scenery...

I'd opt for her to do performance videos instead....

Well it's not like she was giving VMA vanguard teas before that either. MV's seem to be one of her only weaknesses, no shade.

And in this day and age and MV can only benefit her
Title: Re: Do you guys feel Brandy...

Agreed

Although every artist has strengths/weaknesses, her visuals definitely need to keep going in a better direction.

I think once you get to a certain age videos are a non factor.

Fantasia has had 3 singles, no videos and her tour was sold out every venue :dead:

Jazmine came here with NO new music and her show was sold out.

However, Brandy does music that lends itself so well to creative visuals. I don't wanna lose that.

Brandy needs to release multiple singles at once . At this point I think overkill is best like I want her to drop single after single then do videos later depending on which songs catch onto the general public .

it was a nice performance video

but yeah I thought she was about to really go IN.

but she was probably just excited on set, etc.
i can see her being hype with her makeup and stuff done, being her first independent vidya and everything.

something more creative would have been amazing though.
the jukebox throwback theme was expected
and BET gone have the audaciteh to premiere at 6am. Fo dat?  :everythingok:

no video are a must
now doing alternate versions is the tea

no bran needs more video with music that crosses different platforms

2 11 should have been a visual album

and beggin and pleading coulda done something different but

the song didnt really need it

it was cute and i loved the fact that it was a video not connected to a album or promo for one

more vidyas lot less bby

I would've been satisfied with just performance videos. I wouldn't mind seeing more of those from her.
Title: Re: Do you guys feel Brandy...
Post by: GYNandTONIC on June 09, 2016, 08:18:45 AM
Hmmmmmm, I agree and don't

I do think Brandy is a captivating live performer.

However, I do think videos could really benefit her! Prob more so than seeing her live. I think Brandy is an amazing muse for a creative. I just think there has been such a fuss about forcing her into a mainstream lane which will go wrong every time. Her beauty and sound are unique and I don't think directors, stylist, makeup has been aligned properly. There's always one thing off and it's never her performance. It's the visual lacking high art! BRANDY NEEDS HIGH ART (not budget)

She could really do some damage with videos.

I no longer want albums tbqh. I just want singles, videos, and performances.
