:thatssowendy: :thatssowendy: :thatssowendy: :thatssowendy: :thatssowendy: :thatssowendy: :thatssowendy:
She sounds better than all the other bitches that have performed at the Oscars over the years (Jennifer Hudson, Adele, Gaga, etc.)
:gorlonfire:
She's literally known for singing....
Cynthia Erivo, is an amazing singer, she's brilliant. With that being sad, this song should have been song by an African American. I don't know if its the fact that she's British, but I felt that she performed this song for a white audience. Clearly the audience is mostly white, but when singing a song as a slave talking about freedom, It needed some SOUL & Pain.
I think Fantasia would have done a better job with this song, and I think Fantasia was the better Celie on Broadway.
Isn't she a known Broadway singer?
Fuck this hoe.

Clearly neither of you two can read, I said "but when singing a song as a slave talking about her freedom it needed more soul and pain".
I know that she played Harriet Tubman, but I don't like the song. For both Celie and Harriet Tubman, when it came to the singing, her voice is just too "Pretty" and trained for me.
I love this song btw
Vonnie did u watch the Elton Jon mess?
I been meaning to watch
Harriet was decent. U know how the slave movies go

My relation to her nationality was cultural not racial, its more about her not being African American vs her being black.
From Mahalia Jackson, to Aretha, Patti, Whitney, Jennifer Holiday, Jennifer Hudson or Fantasia. There is a cultural aspect to the vocal stylings of a majority of Black Female vocalist, that has been passed down from slavery mostly through Gospel singing.
Cynthia Erivo did not give me that.. sorry not sorry.

Yes, Monica could only dream of having Brandy's ear for music. But, Brandy could use a bit of Monica's confidence, Monica is very confident in her voice, rather it sounds good or not.
I have always said, as vocalists they are actually both missing the one thing the other has. Brandy has never challenged herself in a live performance, this is why many question her being the "vocal bible". 98.5% of every Brandy performance is extremely safe, and for me thats why I dont consider her one of the all time greats.
As a monica Stan..
shes literally confident for no reason.
i can't respect a girl that just sings and then whatever comes out .. she's ok with :unsure:
brandy may lip her performances lately but most of her career she has giving amazing live performances.. and I don't think she can learn or pull anything from Monica
brandy is definitely an all time great for me and to a lot of other people
she may not be the most confident live singer but that's the perfectionist in her.. she can clearly do it
her styling, approach, vocal versatility, tone and range makes her one of the greats :omf:
it's just apparent you like a yell owt..
and I'm not here for it.. this isn't church.
Also people question her being the vocal bible because they have a lazy idea of her and obviously hasn't taken the time to listen to her full discography..
it's like someone calling Aretha a YELLER.. eh.. a lot of her bigger hits might be that but to fully know her and her work you'd know that less than a fourth of her music is that and that she's a very intelligent singer .. she rarely yells or goes for power
but listeners are lazy.. does brandy singles usually give "vocal bible"? No.. but if they did she'd never been as successful as she is..
see Deborah Cox.. always giving a vocal but no one likes her music or even really acknowledges her

She's mastered what many of the "all time greats" haven't done in the studio as well, though. It goes both ways

Bran is a singers singer in that studio as well. Nothing to scoff at whatsoever
But everyone has different criteria. Her PEERS consider her the Bible and that's where the nickname started
The general public can think what they'd like
People like Keke Wyatt are a great example. Doing any and everything possible in terms of tricks on stage, but typically doesn't deliver a complete, emotive song in the studio.
There's no one really in that studio to hype you up. You have to dig deep within yourself to interpret songs the way Brandy does in that studio. She literally has songs where it sounds like she's crying or broken
that's a fuckin my GIFT
Cynthia is beautiful

Cynthia Erivo, is an amazing singer, she's brilliant. With that being sad, this song should have been song by an African American. I don't know if its the fact that she's British, but I felt that she performed this song for a white audience. Clearly the audience is mostly white, but when singing a song as a slave talking about freedom, It needed some SOUL & Pain.
I think Fantasia would have done a better job with this song, and I think Fantasia was the better Celie on Broadway.
what does being British have to do with not having SOUL & Pain :dead:
and everytime yawl want something "black" yawl wanna throw niggerTasia on it because yawl go more for the effect of acting out and screaming
this girl did brilliantly ... you want more grease? go to the Apollo
Yup and she been singing down her whole career.
I love how everything is placed so perfectly and every note has a destination. She could really give a vocal class about maintaining the balance between emotion and technique.

Actually I don't, but there are times when it is appropriate. I only stan for Brandy and Monica, and I ok admitting that neither as vocalist, have a Master Class of singing performance. Brandy is always safe, Monica is always off-key :dead:
Brandy only challenges herself vocally in the studio. She has created a safety net behind the studio, and refuse to attempt certain things live. To me that alone disqualifies her from being one of the all time greats.
It's just remarkable how she's won all these awards and acclaim for roles based around a group of black people she doesn't seem to like, or thinks lacks a culture.
Not sure what's goin on in here but :uhh:

Fam, I dig you a lot, but on this point I respectfully disagree. This whole "flat blackness" is an American ideal. It doesn't seem to exist anywhere outside of the US. It's just like what I see pan Africans do on Twitter. They don't even practice that in Africa. I don't see the issue in saying that even though we're all of African descent, culturally and ethnically we're different. It's not divisive at all, it just is what it is.

aww hey bby. That was sweet of you. 💓
You don't think that a lot Africans see us as their brothers and sisters? I've encountered a lot of Nigerians, Sierra Leone girls, Senegalese girls and Ghana girls that have all talked to me about the importance of seeing us black people as one.. I legit have wide conversations with these people about their native people and how they are connected to us and desire a bridge that will tie us all back together
I think we as AA have been divided so much (Eurocentric conditioning from
Whites) from other blacks that all we see is us and we've fed this idea that any other blacks are simply secondary.
Which I find hilarious.. 🥴considering how shitty we treat each other.
I mean two black women can barely work in the same workplace without gnawing each other's head off/tryna out climb each other..
Or two black men coexisting without plowing each other's holes or shooting each other down
:omf:
I don't agree with the mess she said but she seems to have grown past her own ignorance .. I don't think it's productive to hold that over her head because at the end of the day.. the only
People seeing her different than you and I .. are us!
Whites, Latins and Asians only see a NIGGER.
Same thing they see when they see us :young:
Also she's doing a fine job as a black creative in the industry.
that "i goooo to prepare a place for you" should have gone on much longer like it does in the song
i wish they had time cuz her tone is IMMACULATE there
:plzstop: :plzstop:

I appreciate your comment. Understand, I'm not saying that we can't have alliances with blacks outside the US, but I am skeptical of what "flat blackness" will erase in the name of unity. I haven't really seen any tangible ways this pan African philosophy manifests in the real world. I notice Native Black Americans aren't really protective of their identity and ethnic tribe as other diasporans are.
For instance, I can't just take a DNA test, go to Nigeria, and demand instant dual citizenship. "I want to be Yoruba! I want to be in the Igbo tribe!" It doesn't work like that. They will tell me I am not like them, and they're fully within their right to exclude me! My question is that, why are other blacks in the diaspora allowed to be tribal, and draw ethnic lines of distinction, but black Americans cannot?
For the record, I don't define myself by what any white, or non black person thinks of me. They conned us heavily with that one drop rule mess, and I think anyone who defines themselves by how others see them should seek therapy, no shade.
I just think that native blacks have a lot to lose with what Azaelia Banks would call "cultural smudging", or erasing. American history is littered with black people being betrayed by people who they thought were allies, which is in part why I can't keep my foot of coon erivo's neck.
Again, I'm not saying we as black descendants of American chattel slavery can't have alliances with foreign blacks and others, but given what I've seen/read/listened to, I just take a slightly different, skeptical view.
