I think Brandy was always passionate about singing and music while Monica never really wanted to be a singer. That’s probably the fundamental difference in their approach to singing and creating music.
I agree with your are saying. Monica isn’t as passionate about singing and music as many other artists are about theirs. Monica is just a pretty good karaoke singer with attitude a relatable personality that made people love her . Other artists including Brandy dive deeper in their bag whether it’s vocal skill , acting ventures , etc to showcase their skills and passion while Monica just sings songs handed to her and that’s it. When people say Monica is the better “artist or singer “ than Brandy I 😂😂
@@FittedMisfits1 facts. I don’t mean anything bad about Monica but it’s always been very clear that Brandy has remained a student of her craft. In the same way Bey has. Monica used to say she never planned to take vocal lessons because she didn’t need them. Whereas Brandy stayed seeking opportunities to grow and develop her singing.
Monica has one of the R&B catalogues of all time. Brandy is one of the best R&B singers of all time. This will forever an argument of two legends constantly being compared to each and they are nothing alike.
To me Monica the better singer to me and that’s my opinion don’t care who don’t like it Monica doesn’t get enough credit to her name wen it comes to singing 💐💐💐
They tried to pit Aaliyah against ppl but she refused she told them she wasn't saying that . I think it was a line in a movie to shade brandy if i remember right it didn't work but they succeeded with Monica. Its cause brandy put her finger in her face on video shoot . During life performance i knew something was off as a kid i remember sensing something was off especially because not only was brandy not as expressive as usual she looked pissed
Right! I remember an interviewer tried to start some drama… Asking her did she hear what Brandy said about her. Aaliyah answered was classy and she sent Brandy some love. Them industry folks was coming for Brandy’s life.
I hate breathing life into this. But, if the people don’t know, they need to know. The 8 years that Brandy and Monica weren’t talking, Brandy was going through a lot. The label, Her Fiancé at the time and Close Friendships. Not to mention she was still grieving over Whitney and I think for certain that her grandmother past away around that time. Monica was doing a lot of sneak dissing as her Fans. Brandy Supporters were defending her left and right in those comments. I was one of them. I noticed Monica was Not following, liking photos or commenting on none of Brandy close friends pages. As soon as Brandy started lashing out publicly towards those involved. Monica started following, liking and commenting under their post. Telling them they’re a “Real one”… Agreeing to negative post about Brandy. Some of them Monica didn’t even know. In interviews she was throwing shade. I believe Brandy noticed Monica behavior and left her alone. Because leading up to those 8 years…Brandy was very supportive of Monica. In interviews shouting out her album! Her and Ray j saying positive things about Monica. So where did the hate all of a sudden come from??
It’s one thing to say you prefer Monica’s voice over Brandy’s. That’s fine because music is subjective. But whenever I hear or see people say that Monica sings better than Brandy…I literally cringe. That’s like saying McDonalds is better than a 5 Star Restaurant. You may prefer McDonalds but the 5Star Restaurant will always be higher esteemed in the food industry on every level and rightfully so. To me that’s what Brandy is. 🤷🏼♂️ Not just against Monica but many other “singers” as well but people aren’t ready for that convo….
Why compare them? They both were child stars and have had successful music careers. That stupid song with the industry manufactered drama over Brandy's song caused all the nonsense about who is better. Yes Brandy hands down is the better vocalist but what does that matter? People like who they like regardless of that.
Monica is a vocal beast unfortunately never got credit and in a sense was held back. A lot of people want to tell the story in their way but not the artist truth and the industry and media pushes it. Brandy got a pass until she had that infamous accident. Truth is we all need to not buy into the music industry & media crap. Let these artist do them. They have different styles and Brandy was fortunate to have her mom as manager. She always put and pushed Brandy first! Monica on the other hand, I don't know who her manager was but they definitely didn't capitalize on Monica's incredible vocal talent or beauty. Monica is beautiful but didn't have a makeup line, as statuesque as she is didn't model or have a clothing line, there's a lot of opportunities Sonya Norwood was front and center about Brandy however none of that was there but should have been for Monica. Both are talented individuals, there was and is room for both unfortunately the industry didn't see it that way. Example Fantasia and JHud. JHud carved her way into the spotlight and have never left. Personal styles and hard work JHud EGOT status. I expect to see Fantasia nominated for an Oscar if what they say about the Color Purple proves out!!!
Monica is NOT as good a singer as Brandy. That's not opinion it's FACT! It's about skill and technique and tone and agility. Monica has a more powerful voice -- That's about it. I'm a fan of both women, though.
It will always be Brandy for me❤
Brandy hands down. Always was and will be 🙏🏿❤️
I say Monica.
Both of them are good why we got to choose. They’re both good.
I think they are often compared because they have always been compared since they came on the music scene a few years a part and are the same age.
Micheal Jordan and Lebron are the 2 best basketball players ever to play and you see people choose between them it’s jus human nature
There both. Very talented. It's just drama. Publicity.
3:57 again, we could tell. Brandy was really pissed and her face told it.
Completely! You're right.
What's better. Pepsi or sprite. There both good. The media makes a big deal over nothing. We are all talented in our own way.
Excellent point.

Monica has been singing since she was a baby winning Talent Shows in ATL years 8 to 12 ! Also singing in Church , that's passion , not just an hobby .
This comment makes 0 sense considering that Monica's career is strictly music while Brandy did music and acting.....
@@MannysMillennialMouthmaking it that much sadder. 😕

2:30 No, we knew. I was 7 years old and could tell there was visible something wrong with Brandy.
Brandy
That's my choice!
Monica has one of the R&B catalogues of all time. Brandy is one of the best R&B singers of all time. This will forever an argument of two legends constantly being compared to each and they are nothing alike.
To me Monica the better singer to me and that’s my opinion don’t care who don’t like it Monica doesn’t get enough credit to her name wen it comes to singing 💐💐💐
I totally understand your point. Monica has a very strong voice, Brandy to me is a better technical singer. They have both given us so much.
Keep your opinion...Monica voice does not compare to Brandys....never will
Whew chile, that grammar shouldn't get any credit at all!
I agree wholeheartedly. 🙏 i
It’s brandy but we been knew that . Let’s stop putting these two against each other
I agree, especially since Monica says she feels under-appreciated.
Brandy!!
Monica singles discography is better. Brandy has overall better albums.

Monica
It will have to be Brandy 100%.
Brandy is my favorite artist of all time, so this is an easy one for me. Brandy is the better artist.

What a time to be a teenager😂there was shade all over the industry but it was backed with talent. Which made it funnier😂
This interview is very biased lol
LOL! Biased in which direction? Do you think Brandy or Monica is under-appreciated, or both?
