[@mrmusicality994]

The song 2as originally written as a gospel song by Warren Campbell but Brandy told him she doesnt wanna do gospel cause she felt she wasn't in the right space but he really wanted her to sing that song and he wanted her to sing gospel so it actually is a gospel song😅💯 She just didnt know it at tye time...

[@hope4me847]

Do ya'll not know this song? She got it from Brandy. It's in the record, but she does basically the same run in any live version in the beginning of the song. There's a reason why she's doing this tribute. Her early stuff with Drew sounds a lot like Brandy.

Brandy's voice is special. that's why she is who she is. Just like when Whitney came out she set a bar! & when brandy came out she did the same thing. Kiki Sheard did a nice job, but nobody can sing these songs like brandy. that tone & texture is what make her voice special.
