Brandy's problem is that she looks at herself like a new artist but she keeps doing the same damn thing.
She has been given more chances than just about any of the people that were out during her prime and she just can't get it right. She seems to always just wait for other people to make the decisions, then ends up blaming them when shit flops. It's boring. I'm still a fan because of what the first 4 eras mean to me. But I can see why people lose interest in Brandy.
And I'm sorry but being the "vocal bible" really don't amount to shit commercially. These "voices" that everybody raves about are all flopping...Brandy, Jazmine, Kim Burrell. Do something different.
Brandy is too scared to tap into her full potential. Until recently, her best live vocals were in her bathroom. And she used parts of her voice in a rehearsal vid that she hasn't released on a record in her 23 year career. Not to mention, she said in one of them snapchats that she is an alto and won't be singing high anymore.
I'm happy she said she's writing her stuff now, but deep down I know that means she's going to play it safe vocally if somebody else ain't there to push her vocally.
