A very brokenhearted reaction 💔❤🩹! I see 👁👁 that you have reacted to Brandy before: Full Moon, Sittin' Up In My Room, Best Friend, I Wanna Be Down, Baby, Cinderella Melody and The Boy Is Mine. Brokenhearted was released as the fourth single from Brandy's 1994 album: Brandy. It (the album version) was written and produced by Keith Crouch and Kipper Jones. It (the video version) was produced by Soulshock and Karlin. The song reached #2 on the R&B chart and #9 on the Hot 100. The music video was directed by Hype Williams. Filming took place inside the Oheka Castle, a mansion located on the North Shore of Long Island, in West Hills, New York. Brandy and Wanya Morris shot all of their scenes separately. This music video version is the re-recorded duet version of the song featuring additional vocals from Boyz II Men singer Wanya Morris which was released as the album's fourth and final single in August 1995. When asked about the treatment of the video, Brandy told MTV News during the shooting: "It's basically a dream, because of course this is not reality. I can't afford a mansion right now, so it's like I fall asleep and I dream about doing a duet with Wanya and I'm in this big mansion wearing these grown clothes, big beautiful Whitney Houston-type clothes". At the 1996 MTV Video Music Awards, the music video's director of photography Martin Coppen was nominated for Best Cinematography in a Music Video but lost to Declan Quinn for his work on the video for The Smashing Pumpkins' song: "Tonight, Tonight". Both Brandy and Wanya Morris performed their song version on numerous occasions including at the 1996 Billboard Music Awards, on The Oprah Winfrey Show and for several other televised appearances. The song has since been certified Gold in United States by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Critical Reception 🗣: Larry Flick from Billboard remarked that the song "drops the tempo to a spare ballad pace, giving the tempo ingenue the space to stretch and explore the soulful parameters of her voice". He found that the duet version with Wanya Morris "adds muscle to its already considerable programming power. Will waft over several formats like a cool, refreshing breeze". Billboard's Chris Williams felt that "the album rendition has more of a thump to it, though it's still stripped down and minimalist. This is a teenager singing about how life goes on post-breakup. But the lyrics are so grown, they could've easily been sung by artists like Tamia or Deborah Cox". Steve Baltin from Cash Box stated that "this has “smash” written all over it". He added that Brandy and Morris "could make it to the top of the charts by accident. But this single’s inevitable success will be no accident, as one should expect a major push behind this soulful ballad. A straight ahead R&B number, the song features some nice harmonies as well as impressive singing on the part of the two superstars. One can’t help but be impressed by the way they work together". In his review for Entertainment Weekly, Dimitri Ehrlich wrote, "Featuring saccharine sentiments set to turgid arrangements, the seamlessly produced, soulless ballad "Brokenhearted" is something like Lawrence Welk meets Mary J. Blige. If you ”wanna be down,” as Brandy's first hit proclaimed, a teaming with Milquetoast crooner Wanya Morris [...] is the wrong way to go". Rylee Jackson, writing for The Nevada Sagebrush, called it another "example of a song with an excellent remix that has continued to be more relevant than the original. Featuring Boyz II Men lead singer Wanya Morris, the track is the typical somber R&B slow jam, but also depicts the positive side of heartbreak [...]". Oprah Daily's Grant Rindnerfelt wrote that "Brandy said that she wasn't feeling particularly inspired the day she recorded "Brokenhearted," but you'd have a hard time telling as she stretches into her upper and lower registers with conviction and bounces off the booming, soulful piano". A review for Vibe, Lela Olds wrote that "whether listening to the album version or the remix featuring then-boyfriend and Boyz II Men member Wanya Morris, you have no choice but to get your fingers snapping when listening to "Brokenhearted".

Fun Fact 🕵🏾♀: Since the start of her career, Brandy has named Whitney Houston as her most prominent music and entertainment influence. Early in her career, she would often describe Whitney Houston as her “idol”, crediting her voice, music, and performances as critical to her, both personally and professionally. In a 2014 interview, Brandy stated that, “as a professional musician, I would say that Whitney Houston is the greatest voice of all time”. She elaborates, saying “She was always the idea for me. I wanted to be like her, sing like her, and do everything she was doing”. Beginning in the late 1990s, Whitney Houston would evolve as a personal friend and mentor to Brandy, with Whitney Houston nicknaming herself as Brandy Norwood's “godmother”.

I'm sorry, I thought the reason the mom shut it down was because he was dating Brandy & Adina Howard at the same time?
