It's kind of weird to say Brandy is phony, when she's being candid about depression. It's kinda hard for those two things to co-exist. She's honest, and I wish she was a tad bit more phony when it comes to that.
All the emotional stuff I want to see put into the music and that's it. Unless it's some big network interview, I wish she kept it a lil lighter. I love Iyanlady, but she's only impactful in doses (like with most depressing/inspirational things). People get bored with that stuff easily.
Queen always struck me as the girl who needs a hug every now and again. I think she expects hugs from the general public from telling her story but we aren't a empathetic society. People want your products and services, if it ain't messy nobody really cares. Her fans know her battles, and I think the more seasoned ones understand that Brandy's insecurities run deeper than a few albums. She's always gonna battle that to some level....and that's okay because that makes her inspirational.
