D0GG0D Presents- Brandy (The Vocal Bible?)

We have done our research and have compiled what we believe to be some of Brandy's best work. We've payed attention to what her peers had to say about her and most importantly her fans. View the full

[@AsToldByDesmoe]

I hate the fact that Brandy doesn't get the credit she deserves as a pioneer in R&B. She's really paved the way for R&B artist today like Melanie Fiona, Jazmine Sullivan, Sevyn Streeter, etc. She's an R&B Legend.

[@d.e.j.a8584]

She got plenty of credit. Her lying and then the accident I think was her downfall unfortunately 😞 she had it all. And she was Sittin on Top of the World

[@bjthoms85]

The term "vocal bible" is not referring to skill alone. I think some people have it confused and then just start naming great singers as if others are more deserving of the title. Vocal Bible refers to Brandy's level of influence as it relates to other vocalists. Her voice and her style has completely permeated the music industry from the beginning of her existence. Vocalists...some of the best to ever do it have cited her being among their biggest vocal influences. And her influence transcends age, genre, race, etc. All types of artists study her and the way she sings. I think India Arie says it best...I'm just adding my 2 cents!!

[@bmari10]

Keke tried it. She sounds nothing like Brandy.

[@thatsoulkidbtj]

Lolololol!!!!!!

[@XavierGMusic]

I started cackling 😭

[@Theegoldenelaine]

bmari10 I said the same thing, she doesn't even come close to Brandy's talent!

[@Kaliiiibby]

Ain’t nobody said she remind them of Brandy..💀💀

[@mercedesweston2313]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@akilahbabb1658]

I love when she sings low it's such a beautiful tone

[@mytime4687]

She's so amazing yet so underrated, this music industry is FUCKED!!!!

[@CelestineSelene]

Brandy is so subtley amazing! I am so GLAD that she is being recognized for that!! "Vocal Bible" indeed! She is the blueprint for MANY!

[@Stevoy]

@5:19 Brandy credits her riffs and runs influence to the Clark Sisters/Karen Clark Sheard

[@karisnyambe3717]

I now know why Kierra Sheard sounds so brandish

[@cheyeanguledowning4360]

Disagree Karen has her very own sound that has inspired the world . Every body knows the Clark sisters is the truth . Karen is way older than Brandy . Now Kierra Sheard holds a candle as well but she love her self some brandy and has been inspired by Brandy in some of her music .

[@jmitch.wav1]

okay 6:36-6:39 i'm tripping because she's like 9 years old and singing like this.... she's definitely an original. certain things that she does with her voice come natural. the fact that she studied whitney and kim burrell only sharpened the god given gift she already had/has. soooo cold. #thegreatestvocalistEVER

[@otisfreeman5146]

It’s crazy how her mind worked at that young age! Like to think to place those runs and arrange the song that young crazy

[@jmitch.wav1]

Otis Freeman it’s just god given talent man. that’s the only sense I can make of it! 5 years later and I still feel the same if not more. #B7 out now!!!

[@iscreamcandytv9642]

I have been watching that church clip since I was like 12! Loved her every since it aired on Before they were famous. Thanks VH1

[@otisfreeman5146]

Very true. That run on “Was” at 6:45.. before the “blind but now”... is beautiful and classic Brandy. Like what 9 year thinks to put that run there, which flows so well into the song. I haven’t heard adults think to do things like that ...

[@jmitch.wav1]

Otis Freeman right! The but now is a classic brandy-ism!! I need to connect with you because it seems like you get it musically lol!! I can talk brandy vocals all day. I’m literally obsessed with her voice!

[@georgewallace7286]

Don't nobody do what this girl does to me since maybe, Whitney.

[@georgewallace7286]

Never seen the footage of her singing at young age she was even amazing back then.

[@TyrelleNelson]

Brandy is IT and ain't no disputing that! Vocal Bible indeed!

[@daniellesimone02]

lol my face when i heard that baby you cannot sing sooooo where are you getting at lol

[@mytime4687]

@danielle LMAO... hilarious but no Keke has a nice voice, no she sounds nothing like brandy but she has a nice voice lol..........

[@livefree1111]

Phillip W. yes. I agree that she can sing for real but she sounds nothing like Brandy. Brandy's runs are incredible.

[@justwowbecky7007]

I always thought brandy wasnt that good until you hear her sing without music. I think the music drowns out a lot of her riffs.

[@nicim3730]

The music doesn't drown her out, Brandy uses her voice as an instrument and blends with the music. This is why she puts most of her emphasis and detail in her background vocals.

[@d.e.j.a8584]

@@nicim3730 man the background vocals be everything

[@nicim3730]

Lol@ music drowns out a lot of her riffs... Lololol. A lot of her riffs are an extension of what is going on in the music so she is adding her voice as another "instrument"...when she does this she is not singing the "lead" vocal, it is another element of her background vocals. Its supposed to be in the back! Lol

[@jcfleming05]

At 8:10 I got weak in the depths of my soul....AMAZING for no reason is what this woman is. So many people have tried to do what she does and fail EVERYTIME. In the studio, on an album, LIVE, no one could come close to doing what this woman does. For that I love her oh so so so much!

[@jazmynbrown6820]

I'm a huge fan of Brandy as well

[@done3230]

Awesome video! I love me some Brandy! she is soooo underrated it's ridiculous how her amazing talent is over looked. People need to wake up and realize what a true artist looks and sounds like. Keep singing, acting, and inspiring B. 💜💛💙❤️. Oh yeah to allll the HATERS if you don't like her cool but there is no need for negativity. GROW UP!

[@JRAZM]

some singer bring tears to your eyes with their expertise in the feild you want to be in 1000000000 tinmes yes shes the vocal bible no other singer touches me like she has and does wake up people shes a living legend

[@edwardwheeler197]

[@cmichole]

[@MsSposhy]

The second most gifted singer in the world. Second to only Whitney Houston. Love her soooooo much. Awesome, talented, beautiful, ladish. Love her, love her, love her!!!

[@chrishoff334]

I LOOOOOOOVE THIS LADY!!! SHE IS THE VOCAL BIBLE AND NO ONE CAN TOUCH HER VOCALS. EVEN WHEN SHE WAS A LITTLE GIRL, WOW! Amazing... If someone says "she can't sing" they are ignorant to music and blinded by autotunes and good yelling. lol She is unmatched musically. People's songs are remade on the regular but I have yet to find someone TRY to remake a Brandy record. It would take them forever to do it! the Ghost Vocals! nah

[@javondavis3197]

Of course she's the vocal bible. The term wouldn't exist if it wasn't for Brandy.

[@lovealwaysbibi3336]

What's extremely hilarious is my friends and I CALL her the Artist Vocal Guide to Life! LOL Full Moon could have potentially been one of her best vocal works! Though I love ALL OF THEM! She is by far THE BEST OUT!!

[@Dropboy80]

I completely agree. Full Moon is a perfect work of art.

[@thatsoulkidbtj]

It's all bc of her voice and her transitions. She can start and end a note without you realizing it.

[@fallback06]

[@turnip30090]

@thedescription Brandy isn't this generation's vocal bible, she is THE vocal bible. The first and possibly the last. That was a title exclusively made for her and given to her, so I don't know why people try to make it seem as though it's more than one.

To me Rachelle Ferrell is the vocal bible, but Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Coko from SWV, Brandy, Kelly Price, Christina Aguilera, & KeKe Wyatt ALL have their own BOOKS in it lol

[@MrChoiceBoy]

sinematic06 and faith evans

[@LGnLA]

Precisely, and you have to add Lalah Hathaway too!!

[@ertfgghhhh]

And subtract xtina and mimi But add chante moore

[@nicim3730]

Its about influence. You are naming singers that havent influenced anything. Rachelle Ferrell is a master vocalist at what she does but she hasn't influenced the music industry. Brandy has still to this day. Her vocals and vocal arrangements are studied. Artists changed the way they record music because of her. They used to list the background singers in the album/tape/ cd covers. Once Brandy came into her own as an artist and was arranging, stacking, and layering her own backgrounds, that became a trend for other artists to do as well. They didn't have to hire background singers anymore!

[@sinematic06]

@@nicim3730 the only person I named that doesn’t have a huge influence is KeKe Wyatt. Jennifer Hudson, Anita Baker, Ledisi all bow down to Rachelle. And Brandy did do those things but Janet pioneered that stacking background vocals and arranging as well before Brandy. Amerie said she learned how to stack her vocals by recording herself multiple times on cassette tapes because of Janet. But again I think all those ladies were very influential. Mariah & Whitney don’t even need any explanation. That doesn’t mean I disagree with what you said about Brandy tho. And my original comment had some humor in it too by me saying the other singers I named might not be the entire vocal Bible but they got some books in it lol

[@aquarianprince1984]

I'll get flack for saying this, but I don't really 👂 what everyone else 👂. She's good but the vocal Bible should have went to the Voice. I love some of her songs but vocally she is just okay for me.

[@nopebih]

That’s the point. It takes a trained ear and a student of voice to hear what makes her great. She’s definitely Whitney’s successor.

[@nicim3730]

The Vocal Bible title is bigger than just singing. It's about influence on the music industry as well. Brandy's vocals are studied...Not just the singing of the lyrics, but also her tone, vocal arrangement, vocal placement, harmony, rhythm, nuances, riffs, and runs. Her influence is across multiple genres of music still to this day. She influenced the way artists started to sing and record with vocal layering and stacking. She also started the trend of vibey music. They literally made categories of contemporary R&B and alternative R&B because of her. Just turn on your radio and you will hear her influence in pop, r&b, hip hop, and gospel still to this day from what she did in the late 90s and 2000s.

[@edwardwheeler197]

I love Brandy.....but ARETHA FRANKLIN is the VOCAL BIBLE.

For her generation, she is. Vocalists who are inspired by her gave her that nickname.

[@kristopherdavis2715]

Ima be 100% honest here. I love Brandy’s tone. I find it to be very unique. However I always felt like that vocal bible stuff came from Brandy herself or one of her fans and they used Stacy Barthe to publicly say it. Maybe left some comments under Stacy’s picture or some and she ran with it. I can see her being a fan of Brandy’s and being appreciative of the opportunity to work with her and just oversold Brandy’s as opposed to her experience working with Brandy. Either way opinions are just that, opinions. There’s a difference in one’s sound and one’s voice. There’s plenty of vocalists from Brandy’s era alone that I would give that title to…Lauryn Hill, Beyoncé, Tamia, Toni Braxton, Deborah Cox, Kelly Price, & hell even Monica on a good day especially in her earlier years! Her voice has wayy more versatility that Brandy’s and I’m not just referring to Monica’s range. Nonetheless I still can appreciate Brandy’s contribution & efforts to R&b music. I think Brandy is an Icon because of her career as a whole but not because of her vocals.

[@nicim3730]

Smh....stupid, hateful comment

[@nopebih]

You been pressed about Brandy for years. This idea that Brandy or “one of her fans” had Stacy Barthe (a renowned musician, songwriter and producer) call her the “Vocal Bible” is so silly. So ALL these other singers in the industry who share the same sentiments are just in on this ploy to overhype Brandy?
