but I always wonder ... did Bran hold back a little ... could she have latched on to Whit's curls a little more than she did
:stressed:
maybe not at this age ... but Brandy's voice was like .... so crystal clear during this period to me
Brandy has ALWAYS lacked confidence and this was at the peak of her insecurity so of course she would take a backseat when in the room singing with THE VOICE
To answer your qesution, no.
But she could haev given way more than she did in that clip. Even I was like "girl if you don't.." :uhh:

This is true .. and Whit must've really senses that
"she just needs ENCOURAGEMENT! ..... to get to the next step"honestly ... if Brandy turned into a bitch after this, I wouldn't have minded ... my nose would have been so far in the damn air :dead:
like ... she could've left that session with a Christina Aguilera mindset tbh
Brandy was right where she needed to be.
Legend self.

Yea, I've always :unsure: at that but that's what brandy gave so whit was right tbh. Brandy didn't really start to step into her greatness until much later on

She did kinda turn into a bitch for a few years after this, no?
Whitney really admired her too though. I love how she kinda mimicked brandy's lil head bop she always did back then :kii:
i love their relationship. Brandy coulda gave more but I'll always love that she didn't do not one run or riff the ENTIRE movie.
Sdddddd i think Brandy kept tryna impress Whitney and come up with all these ideas
In one clip u can even see her directing Whitney a bit talkin bout "u back up from the mic during this part and I'll..."
Whitney was like GIRL I'm the veteran here, sis.
:calmdownsis:

Everything was so sweet about her in the movie. Her attitude, her look, her speaking voice, and her singing. She executed so perfectly. Wouldn't have made sense if she was running all over the place.

nah ... if anything she became more humble once the 00's hit ... to me
I'm watching old clips, Brandy said that day after her and Monica practiced in front of her, Whit still told her on the phone to stop tryna be everybody else and be her. She sensed Brandy's personality so well
but she also knew how much Brandy could really LASH
and I think Whitney wanted to see her unleash tbh
:gorlonfire:
n Bran wasn't even trying and it was so annoying .I see why Whit lashed to be honest :dead: ..I remember Bran saying that Whitney wasn't impressed with her NSN vocals and told her always to give 100 percent on every song :dead: .. I think Bran does that now as a rule.

ssssssssssssssss
she said she called her the night before and said you gotta be ready
first thing Brandy mentioned was "I hope I don't crack"
:hmph:
can you imagine if that had been Xtina or JHud :dead:
... I guess I can appreciate Bran's humbleness, but the greatest is literally telling you that you're next. I think that's what the '10's were about tbh, she never got the chance to lash out and let the girls know what time it was
I'm finding bits and pieces of my stan card today guys .. sorry

Biiiiiishh. I wish she would've lashed and said fuck humility during the Afro era a bit.
Bran was just in character vocally
she was very confident at this time because it wasn't too long after Sittin Up
and the story of how Babyface made her calm down on the showing off vocally to impress Whit

no one is touching Whitney of course but brandy's role was to give a classical-ish vocal
Whitney was given carte Blanche to go all gospel and do whatever she wanted sddddd
It's still so impressive to me how much Brandy was able to COMPLETELY switch it tf up after her debut album
I actually watched the movie last night. Brandy was perfect in everyway from the vocals, acting, poise and grace.

yea, and Whit was a producer so they really couldn't stop her
But she didn't do THAT much either for her standards besides be powerful
They both were very classy and respectful of the original

Brandy didn't say NSN, specifically. Lol.
But Bran did say that Whit wanted her to she sing OUT, but Bran focused on being stylistic - which ended up working for her.
