I don't think it was bad. But I didn't love it either. It definitely seems shes really trying to make a brand out of being the Queen of Harmonies.

People usually expect this to be sung a certain way, so I understand.

best selling female rapper of all time

I love Brandy but I really wish she would've just sang it normal all the Janet whispers was not needed I didn't like this performance.
My Queens!!

She HAS to stop lipping to over produced vocals. It doesnt sound good. Someone on her team tell her how special her voice is. This has to stop...

!!!! I wish she just would've sung the mess... it felt more like Prune's Diary was singing it and she's just ad libbing. I respect her wanting to take a risk and create a potential iconic moment...

But this song is so traditional... most people just aren't gonna get it, and I'm not sure if it was worth the risk.

I think Brandy fans and "vocal connoisseurs" can recognize and respect what she was doing but the average viewer just doesn't get it.

Absolutely beautiful, but this could have been a huge moment for her
if she would stop with all the harmony arrangements. She is not in a group so this made
zero sense. Also, she is not slick; she did very few leads here. I feel like she was
being a bit lazy as a solo artist. I mean you are already lipping it. How much do you not want to sing anymore?

...not what I was expecting. I'd probably love this on an EP or mixtape.

Why are June's Diary there if it's her background vocals?

Why is she lipping if she's just singing adlibs?

Brandy, what's going on? :dead:

She looks fantastic but my gawd I hate how she overproduces her pre records it sounds so robotic
