Backstage on The Boy Is Mine Tour, Brandy sits down for a one-on-one conversation about her voice, her fans, and touring again. She explains why she chose not to perform "When You Touch Me," sharing how the song's demanding high notes don't quite fit her voice and how she's learning to adapt her music to where she is now.

Brandy also opens up about the viral "I Thought" TikTok challenge, admitting that its popularity initially scared her as she worried about living up to expectations. She reflects on the meaningful connections she's made during meet-and-greets, the pride she feels from those around her, and how this tour has reawakened and re-inspired her to get back out and see the world.



NEW MOON

This is refreshing.

But Brandy...you are a soprano. A lyric soprano. She can sing high! Just light.

Russian Fury

i believe her

you can hear her voice has changed, even when she talks

it's much huskier than when she was younger.

NEW MOON

She said we're mad at her about the setlist.  :dead:  :kii:

She knows!

I'm glad she hears us and still knows we love her.


Purple Moon

Must be a purple moon, feel like one of those nights...

!!!

Bran is soon to be 47.

I think she's remaining in her lower register on more recent songs because it's her favorite, and it doesn't put strain on her voice like the upper register would.

Gilgamesh.

She looks amazing!

Imma give her some grace because this is her first major tour in forever, and she nailed the songs she did perform.


Gilgamesh.

But no shade Brandy, you know how much that song means to your fans. If she's insecure about the key - that's why you have an MD and dope live band. It's nothing to rearrange a song, she does it with her tracks all the time  :dead:

TAOL over WYTM??? Are you well?
gfdtth its Bow but I think she just means those are hit singles that she doesn't perform and they are easier for Bran to sing so there's no reason she didn't at least include them

Easy to nail songs that were pre-recorded.

I seen this woman do an immaculate job singing live as Roxy Hart. I know things have changed, her voice is clearly in a lower register, she doesn't have the stamina, etc. BUT to only *actually* sing 1-2 songs during her entire set and to carry on this foolish narrative is lame.

Absofuckinglutely. I don't love PID but it was a hit and should've been performed. TAOL was not only a hit but it's SUPERIOR. WYTM is a cute album ig but I don't wanna see it live.
