Brandy being the first black Cinderella gets overlooked, her having her first black Barbie gets overlooked, beyonce Rihanna Chris brown Eric bellinger ETC siting brandy as a huge inspiration for their earlier work gets OVERLOOKED. Brandy is an overlooked artist period. That’s why she is compared to Monica to this day because they don’t understand brandys legacy. Monica will NEVER have the legacy or impact brandy has had.

Brandy doesn't have to hide her accomplishments to make another artist feel anything. Brandy has contributed to so much in entertainment. Prime time t.v, Broadway, Covergirl, she was a barbie doll, she was the first Black Cinderella, she voiced one of the Sirens in Disney's Hercules, and she got snubbed on Dancing with the Stars 😒. She capitalized on so many opportunities to represent Black girls in a positive way and I will always respect her for that.

Her music did fall off though. That’s the truth. Her first 3 Albums were amazing. The fact that it’s not as great as it was doesn’t take away from the things she accomplished throughout the years. Butt we don’t have to lie about the way we feel about her present projects.

Brandy came to “versus” wanting to let go of old energy and show her growth. People are saying she was awkward... I don’t think so..I believe she was just trying to keep the mood joyful!! You can hear how carefree she sounds in this interview as well. Good for her! Sometimes it’s hard to mesh with other black women, I don’t know why but it’s a thing.

[@parkishadavis1908]

I agree..... She seemed so natural..... I LOVED HER ENERGY!!

[@ChristinaLibra]

Said the exact same thing. Plus Brandy knowing Monica really didn't want to do it I feel she was trying to make it more fun and energetic. I feel black women do not mesh well all the time because we expect all black women to behave and/or carry themselves the same way and have the same personalities. And we don't.

Where were you all when Brandy and her mama Sonia Norwood were on Instagram dragging Monica and putting her down while Monica was the one who remained positive and never responded to Brandy's negative energy??? They haven't seen or spoken in eight years. How would you respond to seeing and speaking to someone for the first time in eight years after they've been dragging and putting you down?? When Brandy was asked to do Monica's So Gone challenge a few years ago, Brandy responded, "Chile Bye." So now all of a sudden Brandy wants to be the positive one after being negative to Monica for years.

@@j.riffney193 I'm sorry but I had to respond to your comment. How can a person move forward if their past is always brought up. Yes Brandy has done some things in the past that she has probably repented for as have you and all humans, I'm sure of. If we cant let go of the past, then how can one move forward. I respect your opinion but how can we as humans move forward without forgiving and not rehashing past faults?? If God never forgave us, where would we be? Where are we going? People can change. People make mistakes. People learn and grow from them. I don't think Monica is doing Brandy a favor. She never said "I asked Monica to do Versuz with me". The PEOPLE wanted this and It's a business move for the both of them.

Yo Bran...it's OK to "flex" when you need to. Sometimes people need to be educated or even reminded of your work, your contributions, your gift...or else they WILL forget. Furthermore, isn't that what verzuz is about?!?! As much as it is a platform to celebrate music, it's also platform TO FLEX...but all in fun though. I am A HUGE Brandy fan...since the beginning. I just sometimes feel like she worries WAAAY too much about what other people gonna think or say if she publicly reconizes her God-given gifts, speaks on her successes, or gives herself props every now and then. Instead, in an effort to be humble, she'll overcompensate by downplaying herself and her vocal abilities...which then comes off as insecurity versus humility. Stop worrying so much about what the haters might think/say Bran...God's got you!!! Your fans...yep...we got you, too!!!💪🏽❤🙂

Couldn't have said it any better, I just finish saying this earlier in the week!

[@rahynsevenk9392]

Yesss cum on wit this. 👏🏾🙌🏾 I been saying the same thing. Since before the battle even started. Brandy was our "IT" girl before it even became a thing. Way before Beyoncé. The original "B" was and is Brandy. She contributed so much. Vocally, acting and being the first Blacc singer used as a makeup brand ambassador for CoverGirl. Having one of the most Popular Blacc sitcoms on television. She BEEN BEEN. Then wen the battle actually came on, ppl were trying to drag her for mentioning Tupac and Biggie. But she had every right to. It was definitely a dope ass flex. Don't be mad at her, becuz two of the most influential rappers in history acknowledged her, becuz she was hot. And becuz she was trained to hav stage presence. And chose to add that instead of having a boring ass presentation. 🤷🏾‍♀️ Accepted by the Greats and made movies wit them. Bein mentored by "The Voice".... the greatest singer of ALL time. Nicknamed "The Vocal Bible" and racked up countless awards. BRocka, u mos definitely deserved to toot ur horn. They jus need to catch up. And put sum RESPECC on ur name! #4everBrandyFan

Brandy is a True Legend. Its Insane 20 + Years Brandy Still A Hot Topic and Made a Impact on the Music Indusrty. I Feel So Bless To have grew up in that Era and to Witness the Boy is mine era, Moesha era , Thea era and to see Brandy and Monica on All the Award shows , Remembering how me and my friends would eagerly wait for them to Drop they're albums. Then Watchin them on Soul Train , The soul train awards, Bet Planet soul ,106 & Park, Music Countdown. Seeing Aaliyah as well shoot to mega stardom. Seeing it on live tv and recording stuff on vhs. Watching it on KZbin is a blessing to those who weren't born yet or old enough to understand. Going to the record stores buying those CDs You had to live that Era to Appreciate it And This was Before Beyonce. So Happy Brandy getting Her Flowers its Bout TIME.

[@happymusicvibez-cleanmusic4523]

FACTS. They missed out on the Golden Era for Music , Television. Everything was cheaper. Big macs would be $2 for $2. You didn't need Cable. Martin, Living Single, Ny undercover, Fresh Prince, The Parker's, Moesha , Sister Sister, The Steve Harvey show ,Wayans Bros. The Jamie Foxx show Parent"Hood, Different World, Smart Guy. Everything was on Basic Tv. NOW People have to Pay to watch those same shows on cable or streaming services SMH . .Those were the Gold Ole times OMG

[@charnitag1420]

Ebro thanks for saying what needed to be said. This woman opened a lot of doors for the artists after her, and she doesn’t get the credit💙Growing up, she is who I aspired to be because she was a brown girl with braids and beautiful who I could relate to and actually showed me I could do it💙 I Love you Brandy, I don’t idolize celebrities, but she will always remain one of my favorite artists to ever do it💙She doesn’t get the credit she deserves. She worked with almost every female OG in the game, Black Barbie, Covergirl, TV show, movies, black Cinderella, and I can go on and on! I think we misunderstand that just because people might not be as popular today doesn’t negate away front their successes that they have achieved. Brandy will forever be legendary in my eyes💙 B7💙

Brandy's voice is underrated, in my opinion. People think that if you're not singing like Whitney Houston or running all over the place like Monica, that you're not really singing. Monica has a good voice, but she yodels and runs and sings too hard ALL OF THE TIME. She doesn't know when to soften her sound. Brandy has such control in her lower register! I'll take Brandy over Monica and day.

[@FlowMoon__3]

It’s funny you say that, because Monica is basically like a Jennifer Hudson except it’s not as loud. Monica doesn’t have NO control over her voice, it’s lazily put together, brandy crafts a song PERFECTLY, with the vocal layering and control, to the point where ppl like Beyoncé and Rihanna site her as a inspiration. Did they ever site Monica? No. Brandy won’t ever get her just due until she passes away unfortunately. Because her being compared to Monica to this day is disrespectful to brandy

You don't have to negatively speak on Monica yo uplift Brandy. If that's yo gurl just say that smh obviously Monica has a killer voice since Brandy says it herself....
