    I randomly heard, "I Wanna be Down", one day while switching through stations. I can't remember the last time I heard it...probably a few decades ago...but recognized that husky voice. I wish we could back to that time. Everything was much more fun :(

    My favorite song by Brandy is "Have You Ever?". It was a huge hit for her, and I still love that song after many years.

      That whole album, you can't go wrong with. It's one of the greatest albums... It's a masterpiece.
      Never Say Never is the album!

    • @Philly4Really

      She was very young in this song. This song was massive, but Brandy was and is massively successful, particularly the first 10 years of her career. She had numerous #1 albums, TV shows, movies, a barbie doll, she was on the covers of every pop/rb/teen magazine.. Brandy was the equivalent of an R&B Britney Spears or Nsync back then. Never Say Never is several years later and strays from the standard R&B sounds a bit more.

    • @Philly4Really

      She was also the first black Disney Princess ever portrayed - in Cinderella. Whitney Houston played the Fairy Godmother. Whoopi Goldberg, Bernedette Peters, and several other big celebrities were in that adaptation.
      She was also in the sequel to I Know What You Did Last Summer - a massively successful horror franchise. She played the main characters best friend and (SPOLIER ALERT) survived till the end!
      She was the lead role in Moesha which was massively successful and has recently been purchased by Netflix and is successful there even after all these years. Moesha also spawned a spin off show The Parkers that was very successful too. She had done guest appearances and stuff on shows before this also.
      A few years ago, Brandy got one of the lead roles in a since canceled show on network TV called Queens. I didn't watch it, but it had a huge fan base. Brandy covered a few songs and sang a few original songs of the show... Giving some of her best performances of her career.
      She also played Roxy Hart in Chicago on Broadway and her performances got rave reviews.

    Now your getting into Brandys beginning she dropped her 1st album1994 one year prior to this hit it landed at #2 on Billboard in 1995. The musical master himself Babyface wrote for and produced the entire Waiting to Exhale album of all female artists. It's no doubt a top 5 of all albums for me. Great reaction ❤❤

    Although the lyrics are typical teen angsty stuff and fitting as she was so young but the contrast is the maturity and wisdom of her voice and breathy background vocals. Technical brilliance.

    I’d definitely recommend When You Touch Me if you’re after a ballad and a great vocal performance.
    Artistically, Sweet Nothings is one of the best songs I’ve ever heard! It really shows that Brandy is not just an R&B singer, her voice transcends genres

    Great reaction. Please react to her "Human" album. Her absolute best album behind "Never Say Never" and MAYBE her debut album "Brandy" (Could be a tie).
    "True love", "The Definition", "Human" my top 3.
    Or please react to "Tomorrow", "Everything I Do, I Do it for you" (yes...a Brian Adams cover). OH WAIT!!! You'll really love *"One Song, One Voice"* please react to that one!!!! Those are off her "Never Say Never" album.
    "Truthfully"
    "Almost Doesn't Count" - you'll really love that one too
    "Put that on everything"
    React to basically the whole "Never Say Never" album lol

    Love your reactions to Brandy and everyone else. You're authentic and not putting up a front. This song to me is one of the best to show off some of the higher parts of her voice. I think the song Bye Bipolar is one that really shows the richness of her lower register. I also think you would like the song Never Let You Go by Faith Evans. Keep up the great "work" and I hope to continue watching your reactions for a long time.

    It wasn't as big as the Bodyguard but the Waiting to exhale soundtrack( the movie Whitney was in) was pretty dope.

    Brandy was popular for a number of years.

    Hey! It's been a while but, I see you've reacted to Lisa Fischer, more Sade and Brandy, Chanté Moore, Anita Baker, etc! I am catching back up with your content and loving the R&B journey you're exploring on your channel. I grew up with real R&B/Soul music and it's my core. It's nice seeing you truly appreciate and enjoy the genre. Big Brandy, Sade and Whitney fan here, as well as others. Rachelle Ferrell is such a unique other worldly vocalist/songwriter/pianist that was "tamed" by her record label because of her eccentricities. She was later troubled, had some mental health/drug issues and is also now in her 60s. Her best work, in my opinion was her Anita Baker inspired Debut Album with extra production from George Duke, David Foster and others. It is definitely polished but contained chaos and really good. (With Open Arms, Waiting, Welcome To My World). More jazz/R&B and Fusion artist. The album version of her performances are better than her live performances, sometimes (Waiting). Also, you have to listen to Chanté Moore's (Love's Taken Over- long album version). Very reminiscent of Sade and the album version of (As If We Never Met).
    *
    Also, please check out Brandy - "Acapella"(Something Is Missing) album version. Her layering and unique vocal stacking and arrangements are showcased beautifully.
    *(Long Distance) video by Brandy.
    I'm sure you'll love reacting to these, my friend! ❤😁
