I hate that Brandy has been making me question who I really have been stanning for through the years. Obviously that voice which belongs to her, but she doesn't really deserve all the credit for most of what I've loved. I suppose I used to stan for her A&R, Executive Producers, Publicist, Manager, Art Director, Stylist, Video Directors etc... It's so apparent that her team sucks and has sucked for awhile. Without the Atlantic machine she seems rather lackluster as an artist. There haven't been any sightings of the BRANDY brand since 2004. (It started to diminish with the Ultima endorsement.) She is an amazing talent that has been resting on her laurels. The general public doesn't know how to appreciate talent unless it's properly presented. (See Keke Wyatt vs Beyonce) The overall package is not up to par and she is well aware of that. Sadly she hasn't done anything to change it.
If all of what you said is true, you have a very small group of artist to stan for. Like... What artist controls their music, visuals, styling, management? Its unrealistic! You think Adele is in Chanel picking her wardrobe and editing her own videos? Every artist has a team.
Some expectations are just ridiculous at this point. She been in the game 20+, her brand is doing damn well. Shes still being sought out by the young artist to collab. Shes always acting. She just left broadway. Shes performed at award show. She still presents too. Who else from her time is doing it?
