Brandy: Whitney Houston’s Impact On Her Life, Early Fame and Returning To Music | Apple Music

[@jeremywyche5494]

There is no one who sounds like this woman. So much of what music and R&B has been influenced by this woman. She doesn’t get the credit and love she deserves. Brandy you will forever be a legend and icon.

[@nerdguru86]

I absolutely agree... I sing and she's been a major influence vocally.... She's a legend

[@natsohigh5552]

Anything after her debut album you cannot sing along with 🤣 it just makes u sound like complete crap Her tone is everything

[@sh-oo4wm]

i have been lucky enough to hang with this woman, ive heard her sing while standing directly next to me, ive neverheard anything like it, its like air in her throat lol its crazy, she got god living in her voicebox lol

[@trenesbit]

Brandy really out here looking like she in her twenties. Literally, actually completely looks like she’s in her twenties. We stan an OG black queen. Easily one of the most recognizable voices in music.

[@blackonyxtv823]

Yep make up works wonders

[@20YearSoul]

@@blackonyxtv823 lol what, Brandy has great skin without makeup. There's pictures and videos of her out and about. She really looks like she's in her 20s all the time

[@blackonyxtv823]

20YearSoul Like I said before, makeup does wonders.

[@creolebeau28]

@@blackonyxtv823 hater. She looks even younger without the makeup

[@blackonyxtv823]

Christoph Lee She don’t give a damn about you

[@travishunterbrown]

Thank you Apple for not throwing this interview over to ignorant Ebro. Brandy is an institution, she is a vocal bible, she deserves the most eloquent person to do an interview with her.

[@ParentalDiscretionIsAdvised]

I dont know that man from Adam but these outlets (especially Ebro) need to take a page from his book, especially with an Artist that has a history, we dont care about the superficial, i wanna gotta know some of the dirt from the pre-digital age before the artist forgets.

[@cancermoonheadcancerrising712]

Is this 1998 like seriously? She is so beautiful and her voice is timeless !!!!!

[@cozeeetv]

No, this is 2020

[@PrettyGirl-yr9um]

UNBELIEVABLE how GORGEOUS she is omg smh 😵😵😍😍

[@FlexNFly]

There are so many people that study her. She is the vocal bible and I hope this album gives her the solo grammy she deserves. You can tell she has been doing a lot of mindfulness work and I love that. She's ready for that love to come into her life. So proud of you B-Rocka!

[@nerdguru86]

I sing and believe me... I've admired her vocal ability since I was a kid... Definitely an influence

[@bowiehs]

The Queen of R&b..my favorite artist!

[@KempireRadio]

Zane is one of the best interviewers in music. This interview was unlike any other that Brandy has done partially because she is so open but also because of his style and the love he has for what he does.

[@gabrielgore3887]

This interviewer is terrific I love his questions and Brandy is so sweet honest and humble. She’s such a sweetheart! You don’t see this all the time with celebrities.

[@wyntonmohorn]

This is the best interview I've seen for this B7 era yet. Brandy's so honest & transparent this time around. I love her so much. And I can't wait to hear the greatness that is B7. ❤❤❤❤

[@PandorasTmrw]

This interviewer had so many great questions bravo!! Interviewers should take notes. If you are going to bring up difficult topics like Whitney, you have to be respectful of Brandy and do it in a manner that does not put her on the spot and take her back to that horrible time of her passing. This felt like a ‘REAL’ conversation between two people without cameras which was great I don’t feel like people get to really know who Brandy is because they don’t know how to connect with her through conversation.

[@bethanym723]

i loved cinderella w brandy and whitney so much

[@redzoom7857]

That's my mom's favorite movie! And one of my favorite songs to sing is "There is Music in You," Whitney's closing song.

[@RomellleXFuturistic]

Brandy is the truth and she is the reason a lot of singers sing the way they do! She’s so incredibly humble now and I love her growth and her impact and her voice is just timeless to me... she’s really untouchable

[@katyarnold6757]

Brandy, braids are beautiful!!! she looks beautiful!!! and her voice is magical and beautiful! God bless her.

[@Bycfedwards]

Brandy is my childhood, teenage years and adulthood.

[@sunny81354]

She's amazing. Her tone is like no other. She knows her stuff. I love her! Soulful voice.

[@kingconscience.1597]

Brandy looks great!!! I love how much she's grown and evolved after everything she's been through, she's still so grounded and seems humble and faithful. I like where she seems to be in her life at the moment...at peace and comfortable with who she is and what she's about.

[@rroyalty87]

What a great interviewer! Am I right? He was perfect

[@fufuprophet6906]

I realized. He interviewed Kanye on his wyoming ranch too I think and those questions were of the top, as far as I know (because his follow up questions were just as thought provoking as his main questions). I like him a lot.

[@ohjazzy1]

you are absolutely correct. He maybe the best interviewer I've ever listened to.

[@blackbeauty5717]

the album is fiyahhhhhhhhhhh. solid from top to bottom. I'm so happy she did her thang

[@itsjusme6447]

I have always loved Brandy. She's so mature & genuine every since her 20's she been wise beyond her years. 🤗😍🤩😎

The one point she made is if you not careful fame can kill you. I love how she protects her daughter at all course and the beautiful way to uplift Whitney Houston was like giving her flowers all over again😭😭😭🔥🔥🔥this was epic and going down in history

She took the door Whitney and those before her open and broke it all the way down! Please understand the industry didn’t REALLY grasp the impact and marketability of young black women until Brandy did what she did.

[@blainegriffith7119]

I had to stop at the small voice to right my comment,first of all BRANDY you are beautiful, like as a Mother, a performer, a person, You said it, and it hit me hard made me cry, you found you, that's most important, you are a real woman, that's who guides and inspires your daughter, YOU, your incredible, I am inspired by you because your doing what I have love to do my whole life, sing , but sing for the world is what you do, do you know how much courage that takes, and sorry for your loss, you are spot on, just keep singing to us, We love us some BRANDY !!!

Zane asks the right questions. Brandy has had great success and many low moments but feel she's in a space to really tap into the full avenues of her talents especially IN MUSIC. Looking forward to this project 👏🏾🔥. Give Brandy her flowers 💐 💐💐. Glad her honesty is fully releasing as she's held back a lot and restricted her being. SELF LOVE OPENS THE DOORS TO BLOSSOMING FUTURE. I love this interview. The industry and the many ears that meddle can really mess your mind up. So proud Brandy in tune with herself right now ❤❤❤

[@Märoon_888]

Brandy we love you 😍

[@muziklvrnfl2835]

Wow! Such and honest and revealing interview. After watching this I realized that Brandy is more like me than not, even though she is a beautiful, intelligent, African American female... I on the other hand am about to a 53 year old, white man... She like me, always thought the Whitney Mariah duet should take place, but I feel it would be impossible because of how the music industry pit female artist against one another... and then when they did "When You Believe", it was epic... no duet will ever match it, IMO, I still get goosebumps when I play it. Many things she said in this interview struck a nerve, but the two that hit me the most was about music helping her through it, to me music is life, without it life isn't worth struggling through, music gets me through so much in life, I listen to it daily, I feel it is what keeps me from going crazy.... the other was when she said we're not perfect and as parents we want whats best for our kids and we need to be honest, we lead by example.... my son and our relationship has been strained for a few years now and through this interview, her words have given me some encouragement to sit down and write him a letter, so for that I want to thank Brandy, she is such a beautiful person inside AND out. Love you Brandy, you're such an inspiration to us all to learn to love ourselves and to do better! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@damyanthelion]

I think what most of these modern artists lack is passion.., of course they are driven and ambitious re: creating their music but they are also artists in an era where emotions are subdued and a “faded” delivery is what is popular. Brandy is from an era where artists had to be able to convey emotional depth in their music. Today, the lyrics do all the heavy lifting with the artist doing their best to sound spaced out, conversational and emotionally disconnected from the material🤷🏽‍♂️ Whether it’s trendy to subdue emotion or not, we still experience them so it’s no wonder Brandy still resonates in an age where feelings are treated as something you “catch” like Coronavirus lol.

[@yedayeda1050]

damyanthelion that’s an awesome breakdown of what’s happening in the Industry 👌🏽 I completely agree.

[@RealSamuelGibson]

@@damyanthelion wow this is exactly what I think. Modern artists today can sing really well but the emotion is missing if you get what I mean so it makes the songs feel over produced or robotic
