who actually got EONS better every damn era.
the potential in this woman
During FM and NSN era her live vocals gave a sweet whispery safe tea. Afrodisiac chipmunk tease. Human era amazing, Two Elev fckn stellar, and Beggin & Pleadin and Soul Trains was out of this world.

If she has a BUDGET next era for TV performances I need her to RIP them stages apart with her vocals.
Hmph.
I can agree with you on this.
I must say she SANG the fck DOWN during Debutdy though... A divine gospel inspired mess. And then regressed live vocal wise idk why... Her most successful/mainstream eras she didn't really do all that iconic singing live.
Can't say that I agree with your descriptions.
But see does get better with time.
Your vocal descriptions of each era are so OFF

Not Monica, Lauryn, Toni, Mariah being mere shadows of themselves and Bran getting fckn more amazing every 5 years. what kinda reverse trickery is this.

What did they have my Queen doing. These heavenly divine vocals mixed with these Danity Kane choreography, that light brown wig, and her skinny ass body...
I am glad she left that shit behind. If only she had a better style/artistic team around her. With that voice she'd be a Goddess.

From the outfits..the lipping...the wigs...all of it. The only thing that was good was the music.

What r u even talking about
I just wish she could swallow her pride and hire truly creative and artistic hungy gorls who ain't got a quarter of her vocal strength. If she could hire a bitch like Dawn, fka or Kelela to write her an album concept with start, middle finnish. Let them write or co-write her chunes and let them also decide the video treatments.
I just need one era, with bran as a MUSE and other actually artsy people working through her. With 3-5 videos, a dope concept album, iconic lyrics.

when she performed for them handicapped kids, she snatched my wig right AWF though, only that era the music was so late.

My favourite Brandy songs are the unreleased tea
One Things, Drum Life, Who's The Loser Now and Home.
Outside the vocals her performances don't do much for me visually and fashion wise... she's more miss than hit.
The tone and harmonies make up for it all though
The Afro era was flawless musically.

I'm sorry but she is so above PID. Just watching the performances look silly.
Then her vibrato was supersonic fast during human and her upper register was insane
She's a mutant

I know it is off topic. But Li - even in 2001 - already had her style and swag together. Only thing she can't really blow like Queen. Li really had a vision from an early age.
When the visual is on point, the choreography is a mess, when the choreography is on point, the visual is a mess and the song is rarely my favourite

When she CLOMPED down those steps in those office heels like Debbie Allen during Soulquarius I was fuming

Brandy was one of the first artists I loved so I can drag if I want
:ohwow:
I just really haven't been interested in a while. I don't know if it's because I'm getting older or if she's just been making late ass career decisions that I don't agree with. Probably both.
I hate her stage set-ups, her clothes, her wishy-washy personality which seems to be on one lately. One minute it's "I'm the shit", then she's afraid to walk a damn red carpet.
I don't understand.

Brandy is not an all around ARTISTE, which barely anyone is tbh except maybe Bert or Prince, she is a stellar vocal arranger and vocalist with a beautiful face and body. All other rappers or big singers like Madonna, Beyonc? hire people who are younger and more creative and have more time to take of all that other hoopla. Drop frank gatson corny self and pick up some of your female stans from tumblr and let them spearhead your next songs. Drake, Jay-z, Kanye do it too. I see no shame in it. I just wish Jazmine, Jhen?, or better yet some unknown amazing black female could help bran out. A hungry new girl with lots of creativity.

Bran has said time and time again that she doesn't dance like Jan's or is into aesthetic like the Rihanna's however she has own style, but Bran lacks execution. If she created a team who could execute her uniqueness (aesthetic, choreo, etc.) in a way that's true to her, she'd annihilate.

I think she lacks vision or a vision that I would personally find artistically intriguing or forward thinking. She needs somebody who has actual ideas and visions. Because executing, no one does it better than Bran. Imagine a Solange type concept album with a supreme vocalist like Bran.

She's Brandy. She can't be nobody but herself.
She needs smart savvy young women in her team making creative decisions. Not old male gays like the last million times.
I do wish her visual art was better. Sometimes I just don't care about it. I just sit back and enjoy Brandy.
Brandy's problem is that she looks at herself like a new artist but she keeps doing the same damn thing.
She has been given more chances than just about any of the people that were out during her prime and she just can't get it right. She seems to always just wait for other people to make the decisions, then ends up blaming them when shit flops. It's boring. I'm still a fan because of what the first 4 eras mean to me. But I can see why people lose interest in Brandy.
And I'm sorry but being the "vocal bible" really don't amount to shit commercially. These "voices" that everybody raves about are all flopping...Brandy, Jazmine, Kim Burrell. Do something different.
Brandy is too scared to tap into her full potential. Until recently, her best live vocals were in her bathroom. And she used parts of her voice in a rehearsal vid that she hasn't released on a record in her 23 year career. Not to mention, she said in one of them snapchats that she is an alto and won't be singing high anymore.
I'm happy she said she's writing her stuff now, but deep down I know that means she's going to play it safe vocally if somebody else ain't there to push her vocally.

I just think we deserve one functioning era with multiple videos an actual album concept and presentable packaging. That's really it. After FM ended so quickly and the following eras were all messed up by other ppl interfering, i just want one adult Brandy project that is cute from start to end.
Bottom line, Bran must up the ante. Hire an actual team (creative director, band, female dancers, BG singers, stylist, etc.). Amplify the recipe a bit, babe.

Brandy just needs to go on a vacation overseas, visit some different cultures, get inspired and write some music. Her music can be so depressing, like you can tell it was written in a dark studio session. Get out and get some inspiration, see some water, something festive. Experience some shit other than falling for some man. It's crazy how all these artists of different genres are her friends...a lot of creatives are her fans and she rubs elbows with them but doesn't use their gifts and talents for her own career. I can do without a vocal stack here an there if it's going to be something that's really left field but still upbeat and not so damn somber.

Bottom line, Bran must up the ante. Hire an actual team (creative director, band, female dancers, BG singers, stylist, etc.). Amplify the recipe a bit, babe.
and thats not happening whilst she's independent
It sucks cause she deserves the machine. Sis works hard and is so gifted in spite of what we see. I remember she made that IG post asking God to give her an actual budget for her shows.
hhuhyyhy
Well then Sis needs to find a label.....or a sponsor
:takeallofme:
sis needs SPONSORS!! I honestly want her on a label...or a distribution deal.

There's no reason why Brandy shouldn't be these year end lists for best album. She has the wrong ppl in her ear and that's really detrimental because Brandy always seemed like the type to be easily persuaded

Brandy works hard.
It's just that she works in circles with no real direction.
B&P vid was independent...and that video wasn't cohesive at all.
She needs to hook up with Solanges creative people.

Not to compare but we drag azealia banks and broke ass dawn but their videos and music that they craft with the pennies and quarters that they picked from their couch cushions >
Just imagine what Brandy would be giving with the right ppl behind her AND coin
I feel like she has that old school mentality
Maybe she feel she has nothing else to prove..which is understandable
These long ass breaks are tired too and just signifies that she ain't all that damn worried imo. "perfection takes time" or "divine timing" is late. In more ways than one.

I just really haven't been interested in a while. I don't know if it's because I'm getting older or if she's just been making late ass career decisions that I don't agree with. Probably both.
I hate her stage set-ups, her clothes, her wishy-washy personality which seems to be on one lately. One minute it's "I'm the shit", then she's afraid to walk a damn red carpet.
I don't understand.

Her black girls rock performance is one of the best I've seen from a female in a long time. Definitely top 3 of this decade...

yea idk why they thought Wildest Dreams was a good single choice.
That's an Adult R&B mess or like a 4th single. They always mess up when it comes to her second singles.
I still dont understand why Bran hasnt jumped on the New alt R&B mess thats been popular in the last few years.
Its really tailor made for someone like her

eh, i mean she did it with Afrodisiac, so she'd really just be revisiting it but yea a few songs would be
dope
Music is already over saturated with that. Yeah a couple of those songs would be dope. Just a taste of the route she should have went down right after Two Eleven. Pretty much her desired sound in TODAY's generation.

!!!! FM/Afro, along with Li's Red Album and Justin's sophomore mess lowkey started that whole movement.
When Dawn started the "Heart" mixtape series I kept thinking "Bran should be doing this", had she jumped on the wave then, she would have been one of the few female artists doing it.
Anyways, at this point in my fanhood I just appreciate the performances.
My honest opinion, Brandy will never "get it", 2/11 was her last chance (to be mainstream a hit maker), but I always support her music.

Nothing to get...she's already had it all. I get what you're saying though just stay optimistic. There's still room for Bran at the top she just has to really want that for herself at this point.

UGHHHHH
I wanna give hands to everybody including Bran (cuz she played a major part) that decided to curve DYK, shit even So Sick as the 2nd single.... like bitch u know the FIRE u had on the album at that time... the minute they saw WD wasn't gettin any spins they could've saved face by calling it a buzz single for the 90 fans and saved the video budget for a diff song

Bran can move though. She's not a Janet, but she damn sure ain't no Mariah.
Brandy is actually a really good performer. I don't want her trying to give Jan or Bey, but the stuff she does on stage right now is so late. If she got with a creative team and revamped her show she would really slay.
She has it in her, but for some reason she thinks this current set up is it.

Same shit she been saying since HUMAN.
I think she's talking from a spirtual perspective, Malcolm is talking about younger writers and singers creating a new sound for her.
If she invites all her stans Solange, Stacy, Jazmine etc for a writing session getaway mess. Let them create a concept, imagery and stuff
