Dumb fags

You don't just "get over" depression like that.

I've never been one to coddle Brandy but lately y'all just attack her over any damn thing and it's late.

The fact that Bran's still in her right mind after all she's been through is amazing honestly.

Even I get pissed off sometimes about the lack of new music, but you gurs are outta fckn control.   

yea....

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.
wait though. Good point.

So if Brandy's an independent artist with no label support, who do y'all think is financing this tour?

Chris brown and Britney are a fucking mess

One releases the same song over and over and constantly has online meltdowns, and one is a damn robot who needs new batteries to order herself some food.

So interesting that some of you seem to be acknowledging how important mental health is and how detrimental being a mega celebrity and situations resulting from this celebrity can be...for Brandy. Yet still turn around and stigmatize other artists who went through similar and even worse situations. If some of you are going to finally be empathetic regarding the mental health of others, do it all the way, not when it suits your rhetoric.

Also, I think a few others have said it. Brandy has been saying this for years. This is literally why I just pay most of these threads about interviews. I have accepted that it's just her thing. I think others should do the same while waiting for new music.

There's one interesting situation here.
Chris and Britney are not #1 to them... so they wouldn't have that gut-reaction the same way towards Brandy, who is #1. At least for me. Not saying it's right, but it could play a part.

That shouldn't matter imo. Don't expect people to show the same compassion or not express their frustrations with mental health issues if you're not modeling that yourself.

It doesn't matter.
But I'm just showing you how easy a viewpoint can change if you're not invested in a person and their feelings/mental health.

If I saw Rih crying on TV, I would say Omg, how sad.
If I saw Brandy crying on TV, I most likely would TEAR UP myself.

There's a difference.

Not saying it's right.
