-Aaliyah was a “vibe” and a “mood”. swag on 1,000. -Monica was oh girl from round the way who could sing. Down to earth and pretty. -Brandy was a vocal prodigy/ perfectly packaged Disney teen star before Disney was creating teen stars.
Finally someone speaking facts 🗣 everyone is either up Aaliyah’s ass or over-estimating Monica’s overall vocal ability. Lol Brandy was the diamond in the rough.
@@nthuthukomdluli1052 Exactly, she had range and her runs were heavenly, You'd have to be a real fan to know most of her songs and that she could SANG. There's a reason Whitney chose HER to be Sparkle for her movie.
Lmao she definitely wasn’t. Brandy is a phenomenal singer but if you take away her runs what do you have left? That’s literally what she’s known for. Agility is switching in between head and chest voice something brandy wasn’t and isn’t known for but something Aaliyah did all the time!
@rileynazireno4422 agility means being able to move quickly and seem-less …brandy has more control and technically has more agility. If all you think brandy can do is runs Aaliyah would be considered vocally a one trick pony. Outside of the studio her vocals are trash, she has terrible breath support and that crystal clear tone in the studio sounds like the dry mouth weed smoker that she was during her live performances
@@nthuthukomdluli1052 Did I say she couldn't sing? I said she had swag because SHE HAD SWAG. Even if I thought she couldn't sing why would her being pretty and lightskin have something to do with it? Naomi Campbell had music out in the 90s and I don't think she could sing a lick! (Granted she's not a singer by trade but the emphasis here being not equating her beauty and skintone to her singing ability) Be blessed Nthuthuko 😘
@@nthuthukomdluli1052wait but Monica is also light skin and pretty so how could you use that as the basis for you to assume that the person was insinuating Aaliyah couldn’t sing ?
I'm a huge fan of this type of music, and i really appreciate Brandy, i have all her álbums, but Aaliyah is my favorite, this woman was ahead of her time, the voice, the style, the songs, the vídeos, i will Love and miss her FOREVER!
Brandys vocals are so underrated, Monica’s got some soul in her tone, Aaliyah has some powerful vocals she can switch from a chest voice to a head voice so quickly .😍
Aaliyah had the most range Monica had the most power Brandy had the best runs You also could have picked better performances for Aaliyah. The first two she’s doing choreography moving around stage giving a FULL show while Brandy and Monica are standing in one spot singing.
No doubt that Monica had the strongest voice however I prefer Aaliyah and Brandy. They might not sing like Monica but their voices sound nicer and smoother imo
Monica’s voice is the strongest, but her music doesn’t move me 🤷🏽♂️ Aaliyah and Brandy were unique. Monica was pretty much basic, making average R&B. That’s why she didn’t have an impact until the 2000s. Aaliyah & Brandy had a unique style.
AALIYAH was a triple threat not only I can watch her all day, like a can watch Michael Jackson, Beyonce, and other performer singers because I understand them more and relate!!!! Monica'❤️ and Brandy ❤️ both great singers🌹🌹. AALIYAH was a rose blossoming 🤷🏾♂️ she didn't sing hard or try to over due her songs with runs🙄 AALIYAH knew when to shift her vocals only little thing is you can tell and hear when someone is nervous. However Babygirl ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Vocals: Brandy (she's the vocal bible anyway 🤷🏿♀️) Tone: Mo (Damn, you can hear Whitney's influence) Stage Pressence: Aaliyah (Janet is the blueprint and clearly Aaliyah is the foundation)
Vocally on ballads all three are pretty evenly matched until it comes to head voice where Aaliyah separates herself from the pack. When it comes to runs Brandy is clearly superior. When it comes to power Monica takes the cake.
Nthuthuko Mdluli thanks for being such a respectful person this isn’t me saying Aalyiah can’t sing or monica, I’m clearly saying each person’s strength Like i love brandy’s vocal acrobatics but her tone isn’t my style I love Monica’s tone but her runs and technique aren’t my favorite And i love Aalyiah’s style of music and her voice of course but this is what shines to me
@@nthuthukomdluli1052 Definition of style: A manner of doing something; distinctive appearance, typically determined by the principles according to which something is designed.
The main factor for Monica was that she was 12 and sounded 30 and that’s why she was signed so young but her voice never grew beyond that despite being a great singer. Aaliyah wasn’t someone who focused heavily on vocals, she was definitely an entertainer that wanted to sing and dance equally. She was more about theatrics and I believe would’ve continued down that path had she not have passed. Brandy (the vocal bible) has always been about singing from her heart, she’s always sung like she had something to prove because for whatever reason ppl doubt her talent. She’s had the most overall growth out of all three, she has the most unique tone, vibrato, and runs. And almost EVERY SINGER name her as an influence from Solange, Erykah Badu, The Walls Group, Jazmine Sullivan, H.E.R., etc. So for a moment can we put away our “faves” and just speak facts. ❤️ All three are Iconic Black Queens.
Dboy4100X3 bro I understand your an Aaliyah Stan but you’re admiration is blocking you from the truth. There’s nothing wrong with you believing Aaliyah is iconic and shit cause she is but facts are facts. Just cause her song is in a movie doesn’t dispute the fact that her vocals wasn’t what she was mainly known for it was her overall package
Dboy4100X3 also let me clarify, I’m not saying there’s not someone somewhere that is inspired by her vocals and the way she sings all I’m saying is she wasn’t mainly known for that like Aretha Franklin or Whitney Houston.
Aaliyah wins because she could have amazing song without even trying professionally vocals but when she tried she nailed it. She didn't often showed her vocal power but her voice always untouchable. Brandy and Monica are great but Aaliyah wins.
Each of theses are amazing in their own way and extremely unique! Monica’s voice can be a bit pitchy at times but she has wider range and so much clarity in her voice. Brandy has below poor pronunciation/diction but has a great singing techniques. Aaliyah lacks range and singing technique but has an angelic tone. Now let’s be clear there’s no perfect vocalist, every vocalist has a flaw or 2. However between the 3, I’d choose Monica simply because her voice embodies power, versatility (meaning she has the ability to sing in a lower and higher register). She has proper diction. Not to mention Monica has that raw emotion in her voice, she’s soulful and makes better music in my opinion. All 3 queens are trailblazers and shaped the culture. One cannot mention R&b without mentioning their names. They’re the original “holy trinity”. Period
@@cl3883Aaliyah has the most range?!!! See that’s what I dont like or respect. One can be your favorite and that’s fine but you don’t have to lie or oversell their actual talents. Bye .
@@kristopherdavis2715 sweetie you clearly don’t know what range is go thru the comments of any comparison video of Aaliyah, Brandy, and Monica and you will see most people share my exact same sentiments in regards to who has the most range
Aaliyah definitely showed the most range. She has many example singing in Head voice, Chest voice and a dark lower registry. Monica and brandy kinda stuck to what they were known for. It’s not to say they don’t have range, they just didn’t explore or take risks like Aaliyah did vocally.
Nicole Little I already knew that. I just think that, Aaliyah could do more with her range than the other two. I’m not saying that the other two couldn’t sing at all.
@@cortezmiller1899 Aaliyah easily could do things with her voice while the other 2 kinda struggled in a way that it seemed it wasn't coming that naturally talent
I´m here after the Britney, Christina, Jessica S. and Mandy M. video and I think this 7 girls are very talented and I really enjoyed the walk down memory lane. But I noticed something: how the first 3 where demanded to dress sexier over time by their record labels. I mean, I don´t care how they dress if it´s their decision, but it´s no secret what they went through and it´s horrible they were forced to sing or dress a certain way they didn´t want. It´s refreshing to see Brandy, Monica and Aaliyah being themselves so they could shine. Because even if Mandy wasn´t forced to wear tiny outfits, they wanted to turn her into another Brit.
@@jdrumz23 yeah brandy takes them riffs to another level. All I hear people saying is how strong Monica's voice is but it's very limited when she hits them flats
@@kateyjx like I said, my musically untrained ears loved Aaliyah's music back then and still do like some of it although honestly speaking I don't listen to her music anymore unless it pops up in a play list. My musically trained ears (I am a professional musician and a certified licensed music educator as my career) still love and listen to Brandy, even more so now because she blossomed into an amazing vocalist. Her influence is all over pop, r&b, and gospel music.
