Usher the same way too. If I see one more video that Usher originally hated another hit of his and they had to force him to cut it and release it  :plzstop:
Yes alot of these mfs need DIRECTION and thats all it is.  Brandy needs vocal producers BAD

GODnis taste was on point

I felt vindicated af when she said she thought Unbreak My Heart was "too Disney" at first

Ion care if it's her biggest hit . It was still too grilled and a snoozefest

This reminds me of when Mary said when Umbrella was sent to her all she heard was " eh eh eh" and said wtf???  :plzstop:  "my fans would kill me"

Eh...

I don't think it sounds bad just unexpected. When you do something unexpected you have to either kill it or be prepared for a lot of criticism
Eh... 🤷🏾‍♂️

Purple Moon

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

I would have preferred something more, traditional with a FEW embellishments here and there.

But I feel differently about the VISION this morning. I can dig it. It's def one of a kind, in the history of SSB performances. It was daring and I kinda like that.

GHans creative direction here IMO >>>

She high key modernized the tea a bit
The anthem got a MUCH needed update

IMO this is true artistry 

From the piece itself to how it's polarizing the gorls in its reception/interpretation on social media

Even to how it's taking some gorls a minute to "get" it

Give the gorls ART beauvy kwee!

His career would've went nowhere if he kept rejecting potential hits. This is why A&R's are important and needed.

And the harmonies weren't excessive IMO

Maybe what people mean is that they were "relatively excessive" in regards to what we are used to hearing from the anthem. Which is usually a boneless mess.

Cuz everything made sense and flowed together very well

It was VERY smooth and intentional.

Feels like GHan set out to do something special .

And another damn thing

Fnnfnfnfnfnnf

The fact that she took time to do something this creatively artistic is actually a good sign

Don't wanna jump the gun but I feel like GHan is in her bag.

:woohoo:

Only her could have arranged it like that.
I did not like it but it cool to try new things. She's done it so many times if they wanna watch a solo version no backgrounds go watch those.
Creativity and risk go hand in hand. On to the next. 
Most singers lack creativity these days which is why a lot of the "good ones" sound similar.

That said. New creative direction is necessary and the vocal insecurity is annoying. Girl sing live for fuck sake.
