and you think that had nothing to do with Frank
he said it didn't.  He did an interview about it.  He said brandy didn't wanna be sexy or whatever.  She wanted to look like their forefathers
can you find that interview?
I remember him saying Brandy's idea was Beggin n Pleadin and his was the Soul Train performance
I already posted it but u probably didn't listen to enough of it. 



Listen from 56:45 to 59:00
He literally APOLOGIZED for making brandy lean into her more sexy/femi nine look on the 2/11 era.  He said he wasn't hearing her but he heard her for begging and pleading and that colonial times ass look. This is why I say Frank is NOT to blame for everything like yall claim he is. We collectively love the 2/11 look, stage presence, etc and thats because of FRANK not Brandy
This is my pass to say WHATEVER tf I wanna say about the mess she releases so I don't wanna hear SHIT! Baby mama is a mess of a song btw

ok so on the Soul Train thing he said "Brandy trusted Me enough" "I wanted a Black void to cover up the set" about the clothes "Everyone wants her to wear designers, I wanted the performance to be focused on her voice"

Yea that look was all Frank

And did u listen after that? He said SHE didn't wanna be dolled up or anything like that.  That's probably what he would've done but he didn't listen during 2/11 and pushed her to be "sexy". So he acquiesced to what she wants to look like.

klappa.

ok he said "the Soul Train performance I heard her loud and clear"
Sounds like he came up that performance based on the previous words he said, but that Brandy was fine with it because she wasn't being sex

Frank definitely gave I did the best with what SHE wanted and I actually hate he let her do that for that specific performance lol 😭

Anywho, I always believed Monica's issue was the positioning of her place in R&B, everyone owned something... Monica had great (Billboard) accolades but she was never the first girl to do something significant musically or even culturally

One thing about Brandy & Sonja they positioned her legacy from the minute she came out from intentional looks (braids), down to being the first Black girl to do a few things (TV, movies, endorsement deals, etc)

I HATE IT TOO!!!!!! Because the performance was so good. But how u up here talking yo shit and shading Monica while looking like you about to recite the damn Gettysburg Address. Fuck him AND her tbh. He shoulda forced her ass right back in some 2/11 shit

I completely agree. She couldve did that BS on one of them Slayana Tour spot dates but for your 1st televised performance medley honoring your legacy?! Nahhh we needed them 2/11 looks or a classic nostalgic look with some long micro or box braids and lighter, warm, neutral, or pastel colors repping her 90s vibe... I wish she had the Faith Evans setup with the classic name logo in the background... them ladders and fits were a fool  :plzstop:

Eh...

Quote from: Cartierline on April 20, 2026, 06:18:35 AMWas this in response to something or someone?

Yes, somebody posted how monica should be more recognized or something and some accomplishments and of course people started tagging her and she responded.

Sidenote: it's so weird to me how people always @'in/tagging celebrities in comments of random posts. If the person who made the post wanted them tagged wouldn't you think they would've tagged them

Eh... 🤷🏾‍♂️

Andthecategoryis...

Does Monica have a solid gay fanbase? I know she has a few messy punks on Twitter but I've never seen the gays go up for her
I'm bossy/I'm the first girl to scream on a track

:ermm:

Y'all... I think we all need to come to the realization that Brandy isn't too comfortable with her sexy side...even at 47.

I think she seen how cringy it was during the Afro era and just said FUCK it.

I know Bran loves her masculine side (baggy suits and sneakers), but she needs to realize that she's sexy when she's not even trying.
