Bran getting her flowers from everyone. Well deserved 

And noone's doing shit for Mons    most comments from her peers are like "you look gorg" or "your daughter is lovely". That must hurt badly.

This video  A lot for Mons and Brandy while Rih has been used to it for 20 years so she's chill.The video of Rih being like a granny with the "where is my hug" to Mons giving her a "church wave"

After a tour like this, do yall think a Vegas residency would even be successful? I cant picture people flying to see Brandy & Ghan for a residency. No shade.

Just enjoy this moment and let it be historic.

I think I'd rather see Bran put her energy into more timeless music. Relink with Rodney/Timb and other producers that have complemented her well, get back to her old vocal delivery with a few tune ups to where she is vocally today and keep building her catalogue.

God willing, she will have her day to have a residency that will be even more ICONIC if she can continue to push through as an artist over the next 10-15 years.

I would be more excited for a residency when she's older, tbh.

Ugh, realizing that Bran isn't just being treated like a legacy artist but she actually is one now...only 4 years from 50. This is why I want her focus to be on music...giving us 3 more great albums and then serious acting roles/theatre

Brandy and Monica, Titans of R&B, Reunite for a Non-Stop Parade of Hits at Los Angeles' Kia Forum: Concert Review

"I know y'all remember 'Sittin' Up in My Room,'" Brandy told the crowd at Los Angeles' Kia Forum on Sunday night, her second show at the venue as part of her co-headlining "The Boy Is Mine" tour with Monica. "Y'all are over 30, stop playing."

Knowing your audience, of course, was the primary catalyst for staging the tour in the first place. Brandy and Monica, both titans of R&B who reached peak pop prowess in the 1990s and continued to redefine the sound of R&B in the new millennium, have had a storied, for lack of a better word, relationship since joining forces for the canonical 1998 duet "The Boy Is Mine." That song not only cemented itself into the historical archive of contemporary hits, but also further positioned each artist as a pop juggernaut: "The Boy Is Mine" was the best-selling single of that year and, depending on which side of their fandom you fell, became each of the singers' signature song. (At least, in some circles.)

Much of the lore surrounding Brandy and Monica in the years that followed has centered on a rift, fueled by reports of a physical altercation while rehearsing for the 1998 MTV VMAs and, as they plainly stated during a video interlude during their Forum show, the media and record labels stoking the feud flames. And it's why the timing for "The Boy Is Mine" tour couldn't be better. In an age where online standom has turned so acrid that the slightest infraction can loom over an artist for years, Brandy and Monica finally — finally — took control of the narrative with a Covid-era appearance on Verzuz in 2020, putting those decades of dogged rumors to rest and giving fans the reunion they've long anticipated. (It is worth noting, for those with long memories, that they did dead the alleged beef before, with the 2012 duet "It All Belongs to Me.")

Nostalgia reigns supreme these days, especially on the live circuit, so it's no surprise that Brandy and Monica's two-hour Forum show was heavy on catalog. After all, concertgoers — including Rihanna, Jay-Z and Beyoncé — came to hear the hits. However, what distinguished the performance was that, while both artists may be past their commercial prime, they are far from being nostalgia acts. Brandy and Monica are powerhouse singers whose voices have taken on deeper character and even tighter control in the decades since their debuts. At the Forum, they delivered hit after hit after hit, in minter condition than ever, trading off stage time as throngs of male backup dancers cycled in and out. It was a reminder — no, a reinforcement — that these two helped sketch the blueprint of what R&B and pop can be, and that the only thing that can make them stronger is when they come together.

That their reunion came 27 years after the dominance of "The Boy Is Mine" made the evening even sweeter. The audience, brimming with millennials, finally got to witness what a tour that should have taken place decades ago could be. And it was worth the wait. The differences between Brandy and Monica were distinct — the former a student of '90s pop, leaning heavily on choreography and spectacle; the latter with a poised approach, a regal figure content with standing in place while belting a ballad — yet their performance styles never felt at odds. They staged the show as something of a callback to their Verzuz battle, emerging together in an elevator car before taking seats on either side of the stage, trading off songs: Brandy with "What About Us?" and "I Wanna Be Down," Monica with "Knock Knock" and "Don't Take It Personal (Just One of Dem Days)."

The show teetered between artists — Brandy with three songs here, Monica with two there — making for a ceaseless conveyor belt of hits and many, many costume changes. It was the type of show where you'd declare the song being performed is your favorite, only to reassess that, no, this other song is actually your favorite. Brandy dug deep in the archives with "Baby" and "Best Friend," and performed somewhat deeper album cuts like "Afrodisiac" and "Angel in Disguise." Monica did the same, singing "Before You Walk Out of My Life" and "Like This and Like That," calling back to "So Gone" and "Everytime tha Beat Drop."

They broke up the evening with a few guest appearances — LL Cool J treated the crowd to "Luv U Better" and "Doin' It," while Mario sang "Let Me Love You," O.T. Genasis performed "Cut It" and Blxst made a brief cameo for "Chosen." But the co-headliners remained the nucleus of the show, not a single note wasted. The penultimate song of the night, fittingly, was a rendition of Whitney Houston's "I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)," an artist who had a significant impact on each of them, as they both got signed off of auditions with "The Greatest Love of All" and had close relationships with the late singer.

Before drawing the performance to a close with the tour's namesake song, Brandy and Monica united one last time to do what we'd all come to see: celebrate each other in the ways that we've always celebrated them. "It's both an honor and a pleasure to be on stage with you now after 27 long years," Monica told Brandy. "You have a voice that transcends time, and we all love you from the bottom of our hearts. Today, tomorrow, forever." "And we love you," responded Brandy. "I am honored to be on stage with you, you are an icon. You make me better. I am so glad you did 'The Boy Is Mine.' The song would not have been what it was if you were not on it. And it's brought us together 27 years later."

In the end, all of the talk of bad blood and rumors led towards this one moment. And it begged the question: Who won in the great Brandy and Monica wars? All of us, apparently.
