Jesus offers salvation, peace, and hope to all who call on him. If you have heavy burdens, Jesus will carry them for you. No matter the pain and suffering you have been through in life, trust in Jesus for a brighter tomorrow. He will never leave you nor forsake you.

Brandy’s voice is classic because it was out at a time during the 90s when R&B was at its peak!

Brandy is everythingggg

[@brotherdj777]

How do I get to heaven? Will my good deeds be measured against my bad deeds? Do I need to be a good person to go to heaven? How do I know if I'm good enough? Well the bible says no man is good, for all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. So how do we get to heaven? Answer: By believing on Jesus Christ who took the punishment for our sin on the cross. There are no amount of good works we can do to achieve salvation because salvation is a free gift of God. We need to humble ourselves, realize we are sinners and that we need a savior. John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave his only son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

Facts 💯

[@J.Evans_Official]

I remember back in the day Aaliyah got so much grief for the rkelly thing. Little did anyone know a under age Brandy was dating a fully grown Wanye. Then Wayne cheated on her with Adina Howard go figure 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@choicewordz928]

YEP!!! smh

[@honeylamour1]

Because her parents kept it a secret. Aaliyah was under R Kelly wing since age 12, and there was pictures, photos , video shoots and speculation of them appearing too close , and then the marriage license. Wanya was never spotted with Brandy. And he probably uses Adina (other singer) who was a few years older raunchy and had a hit sex song to push any rumor of Brandy away. Adina would be able to go to bars, clubs and hangout to the wee hours people would notice but Wanya was 22 and Adina was 25

[@Nikshansing]

I don't know if you can compare Brandy in her late teens dating a man in his early 20s to R. Kelly at 27 dating a 14 year old and then marrying her at 15. Completely different. 6 year difference and 13 year difference are not the same.

I love Brandy to the highest capacity! Her vocals are one of a kind. No one can match that and all that beauty and talent. God gave her all the best gifts. It seems like she's a kind and genuine human being. She's always in great spirit! I listen to her songs, watch Moesha, watch Zoey and everything she has a part of! I'm definitely going to her concerts. God Bless you and your family!

[@user-ex9xj4dd1e]

I wasn’t born in the 90s but I appreciate the role models like Brandy and how everyone was seen as beautiful without having to show a lot!

[@maryammure5151]

She was so head over heels in love. I can tell he wasn't into her as she was of him. And this was also when they were playing off the rumors and being all coy about their relationship. They were secretly dating. But as the way brandy was staring at him when he was singing. You can't fake that love. She was in love! He wasn't. Never say never album says it all. He cheated on her and she wrote the boy is mine and other songs.

[@ThePianoguy89]

He uses full voice or mixed chest voice majority of the time when he belts and sometimes he sings in head voice. He does use falsetto, but sparingly. He sang a G5 in falsetto in "One Sweet Day." I actually aprreciate when male singers sing in full voice because that's where the voice resonates the most by blending head voice and chest voice together.

This was bearable becuase the someone instructed Wanya not to perform like a run away train, like he normally does live, but to control himself to allow Brandy's beautiful emotionally stirring singing to flourish during the performance; even though this song is far better by herself-the solo rendition is the definition.
