Brandy's voice is utterly unique and special. It just kills you so-called music scholars that it doesn't fit into any of the traditional voice types. That's why it's so amazing. Small minds always feel the need to box/categorize something and put it into a discrete state. Nothing about her vocals are "lazy", foh.
AGREED.. And the sad part is that the people who criticize Brandy the most are folks who weren't even thought of when Brandy came out. Real music lovers know real talent and Brandy is definitely talented.
Tim Horton This is so true because one minute I see they label her as an Alto, then it's deep Contralto, then Mezzo-Saprano, then Contralto. They have her in so many vocal categories they just can't define her because she's so unique.
Unique does not mean it does not have a specific vocal fach/classification. Anyone who studies voice or has taken vocal lessons has this first-hand knowledge. Just because it's not distinctive to the average( untrained) listening ear, does not mean that the training, study and preparation for certain vocal classifications does not exist in all singing voices; Especially, for those who are singing professionally as a career.
King Alejandro What you said is utterly false. Any vocal pedagogue of which has studied "The Singing Voice", from a scientidic perspective, will tell you that Brandy is a talented, albeit untrained, 'Lyric Mezzo Soprano' with a 'Low Tessitura'. She has 1) the Vocal Registration of a Lyric Mezzo Soprano, 2) The Passagio points of a Lyric Mezzo Soprano and 3) The Tonal Color and Projection of a Lyric Mezzo Soprano. There is absolutely nothing in Brandy's voice that suggests that she is a Contralto - do you know how rare the Contralto voice actually is as well as the aspects of a Contralto voice? They are extremely androgynous in sound for example, something of which Brandy's voice is not as it is feminine in sound all throughout. Furthermore, 'Alto' is not a classical voice type. It is a section of choir comprised of Mezzo Soprano's, with varying tessitura's, or Contralto's. The classical voice types that exist are: Soprano Mezzo Soprano Contralto - Tenor Baritone Bass. So, your argument has defeated with objective reasoning.
Kyle Peters I think you need to *READ* what I said again because I clearly wasn't suggesting that Brandy's voice was in any category. I was merely saying that the media has been trying to define her voice for years by one minute saying she is a Contralto, then I'd read another day and see it says she's Mezzo-Soprano, then another day it's Alto. You can see for yourself. I know I'm not a musician or a vocalist which is why I was *NOT* declaring or defining her voice at all. So no my argument is not defeated because I wasn't making one.
Brandy has a whole lot of range people fail to realize in the song " Impossible " from Cinderalla with her and whitney houston that she takes the upper register while whitney takes the lower........the girl has pipes for days, months, and yearssssssss!!!
I'm sorry, I have just listened to "Impossible" again and the only time they harmonise is the last time they say "It's possible" and I'm sorry, but it's quite clear that Whitney sings the upper part, you can definitely tell from her sound...
what I love about Brandy is that her voice has shown so much growth. Listen to her from her first album to now. I love it. I like her vocal flexibility.
Brandy is the best singer hands down. Her chest and falsetto are flawless. Her transitions and runs are perfect. Oh and her range is one of the best, with perfect pitch in the lower register. Wow makes her even more sexy.
WoooooW! Bran be holding back on us...maybe she's not as confident or comfortable to sing at that level in her music but she ought to try it. Clearly she can do it! Blown away utterly and wish this was longer...ugh/lol
I agree...Full Moon was vocally her best album because she got to show more her range. I had someone as a teacher who worked with Brandy when they were younger...during a conversation about her style and capabilities he said Brandy's vocal range was more than the music she was putting out & that she probably was being limited by record execs wanting her to have a certain style ...no one believed him...the old man was on to something
Why doesn't she do ANY of this on the album? This is what the fans want to hear. Brandy sing for her life. Her best vocals are given usually when she is playing around. She needs to serve, and quit it giving us this same melodic, bedtime vocals. We know she can harmonize, yes we know she is a beast, but the songs never seem to show what she is REALLY capable of? Girl get out that comfort zone!!!!
pure vocal perfection! she never ceases to amaze me! its kind of scary how vocally perfect she is, she can do way more with her voice than anyone even knows, wow she is such a blessing.
I am blown away right now. I knew she could sing high and knew she had it in her but I'm glad she's bring it out. Two Eleven had STUPID vocals so I know the new album is going to be out of this WORLD! I still think she needs a CRAZY ballad where she can go all the way in with range, power and confidence but a song just doing this have me what I needed. I love you Bran! My favorite vocalist! #TeamStar
This is just crazy!! Brandy please use this more often! I love your dark low tone but baby i fell out my chair hearing those near whistle notes! I know you have more!!!
I absolutely agree with one of the top comments. It's about time to use this head voice and high notes on a new album. Her low notes remain one of the reasons why I became a fan of her, they're everything to me but since she has range it's time to use it and record it on an album.
My fav!!! Love me some brandy. Ain't nobody touchin that voice! For all of u who thought she couldn't hit high notes. The whistle register isn't far!! And those runs are like milk honey and butter all mixed into one. I can't explain it! She was at the front of the line when god gave out vocal chords!! Ppl just don't understand the kinda vocalist she is:)
"Don't jock. A bitch got range. I got range. I got range. I got range" Lmao...Damn right Bran! She bout to SLAY the game again on a whole nother level.
I already know she's an amazing singer but she must really have strong pipes b/c that mic was down by her stomach & you heard her very clearly. I mean I can only imagine how high & strong her voice would've sound had she held the mic up alil higher that's true talent at it's finest.
I am in loveeeeeeeeeee with the control of her voice... She can do what the entire fuk she wants to do with it... Like howwwww? She never overdoes it like a lot of singers do she always gives just enough ... Clearly the best!
Just got to remember she's no longer singing & making music in hopes for the next hit single(s) or album. Whitney taught her the importants of making music and the proper way to utilize her voice when in the works of creating a new album. Figuring out note placements, when to sing in head or chest voice, how to carryout the bridge and where to place runs or riffs when needed. So if the song/album calls for more flare and attitude or just strong yet very subtle but still driving vocals, then there's no need for showcasing range.
That is what I am saying. So do we blame her producers are the people who select the songs, which could include her. I don't know many successful singers that dont choose songs that show their range. She was my favorite and think that her newer projects would do better if she would really just sang! Such a beautiful voice
Now this is what I wanna hear on album SEVEN! Use that range, lady. No club bangers. None of that urban stuff. Leave that to the kids. Give us some Adele, Sam Smith, Coldplay type of music. That's what people want and expect from you. You better go in hunny!!!! Oh, and you can name the album FOREVER!
Same with Beyoncé I want black artist with voices to stop replying on their sex and rely on their REAL talent because Beyoncé and brandy both have amazing voices which don't need to be drowned in bass and club bangers to sell. !!
I had to watch this about 10xs no lie lol Im like her #1 fan and I never knew she could get that damn high lol she almost doing that Mariah Carey whistle
dnt exaggerate she is far 4rm whistle register but bcuz she is a contralto it is impressive she went high like that but toni braxton sister traci is also contralto and she seems to hit very high notes like dat
Okay I'm sorry but I always thought Brandy was an "okay" singer, so can someone please tell me why I'm just learning that the girl can actually sing!!! Like WTF I'm watching these videos like THAT'S Brandy?? If she sang like that on an album she'd knock a whole lot of these bitches out!!
OMG does anyone else hears how she just kept the higher register the threw in that lower register and brought it back up like right back up starting at :55
Omgeeee made tears fall right outta my eyes I've always been a strong die hard Brandy fan no matter what but I was utterly shocked hearing them notes if she uses them on her next album and live performances she will erase beyonce and Mariah Carey Social Security Number just saying she's a real r&b slayer she did that so effortlessly still in shock
![[LIVE] : ONE ลุมพินี 78 | คู่เอก "ปกรณ์ vs ฟาบิโอ"](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/LSOmgl0Th2c/mqdefault.jpg)
She said she doesn't know what note she is gonna hit until she hits it.. Now if that ain't something of another planet !!! 🐐🙄🔥
20 years into the game... and we still havent seen all she can do... like.. why is she holding this back.
There's only so many hours in a day, she can't show all her talents...it would take too long
@@endokuken1678 but fr thoo
@NfamousDoshay They been holding her tf back & I am so pissed.
"Why are you down there??"
@BlackBillyBoy I NEVER knew what she meant by that frfr 😐
Can you explain?
With the way Brandy plays with her voice, you can tell she just loves her talent. Love me some Brandy!
they don't call her the vocal Bible for nothing

omg.. now I have to go rewatch that magic.. thanks for reminding me!!!!
I'm sorry, I have just listened to "Impossible" again and the only time they harmonise is the last time they say "It's possible" and I'm sorry, but it's quite clear that Whitney sings the upper part, you can definitely tell from her sound...
Whitney sung the high note and brandy sung the low note.
Yeah I think Whitney wanted Brandy to go higher but she was too nervous to do so, I forgot what the story was exactly lol
NATsoHIGH ! You don’t know their voices brandy definitely takes the low note
She’s called the vocal bible for a reason you can fill a book with all the notes,the riffs and runs this girl can hit ❤️🙌🏾
Her voice is not of this world.
Robert Duncan ..."Not of this world" is a compliment.
Robert Duncan What are you talking about?... lmao. It wasn't negative.
My bad i apologize i thought you said her voice is not out of this world. My fault for not reading correctly.
Exactly.... Extraterrestrial...
what I love about Brandy is that her voice has shown so much growth. Listen to her from her first album to now. I love it. I like her vocal flexibility.
I heard Eb6. She betta SLAY

Vocal ability are nuts and range is dope! The quality is insane!
Brandy's vocals are unmatched and if you are a music head/singer you can hear the range in her songs especially the Full Moon lp.
I agree...Full Moon was vocally her best album because she got to show more her range. I had someone as a teacher who worked with Brandy when they were younger...during a conversation about her style and capabilities he said Brandy's vocal range was more than the music she was putting out & that she probably was being limited by record execs wanting her to have a certain style ...no one believed him...the old man was on to something

Girl get out that comfort zone!!!!
I think she intentionally keys things down in the studio so that when she sings live she doesn't have to be 100% perfect everytime.
I LOVE that she's so confident now and more daring! She's doing things that she's never done and I cannot get enough.
Yes, this is why she will always have respect!
Amen
pure vocal perfection! she never ceases to amaze me! its kind of scary how vocally perfect she is, she can do way more with her voice than anyone even knows, wow she is such a blessing.
Brandy's range has grown soooo much since Brandy and Never Say Never.
I am blown away right now. I knew she could sing high and knew she had it in her but I'm glad she's bring it out. Two Eleven had STUPID vocals so I know the new album is going to be out of this WORLD! I still think she needs a CRAZY ballad where she can go all the way in with range, power and confidence but a song just doing this have me what I needed. I love you Bran! My favorite vocalist! #TeamStar
well its time for ppl to start doing new vocal range videos, because those are not accurate. lol She continues to amaze me. My favorite vocalist EVER
Yes indeed.My favorite songstress & future wifey....if she can cook.
lol
I totally agree, and Brandy is 1 them cause the girl can blow. Love her!!!
This is just crazy!! Brandy please use this more often! I love your dark low tone but baby i fell out my chair hearing those near whistle notes! I know you have more!!!
I pray Brandy puts out a live album. She sound so amazing live.
Glad 2 know i'm not the only one dying 4 a live album!!!!! #nomusic!!!!
" don't jock don't jock a bitch got range I got range I got range " #THEVOCALBIBLE ! ❤️❤️
I absolutely agree with one of the top comments. It's about time to use this head voice and high notes on a new album. Her low notes remain one of the reasons why I became a fan of her, they're everything to me but since she has range it's time to use it and record it on an album.
Wait a minute Bran, what kind of SLAY?
My fav!!! Love me some brandy. Ain't nobody touchin that voice! For all of u who thought she couldn't hit high notes. The whistle register isn't far!! And those runs are like milk honey and butter all mixed into one. I can't explain it! She was at the front of the line when god gave out vocal chords!! Ppl just don't understand the kinda vocalist she is:)
Crazy.... Just insane. I love it. I wish she would sing/ record in her falsetto more often.
Wish she promoted two eleven more. I wanted to see her in Chicago.
She played in Chicago at the African Arts Festival justa few months ago.
This lady is just... *sighs*. I don't even know what to say. Her voice is just so beautiful!
That's why I'm a Brandy fan since day one!!!!
VOCAL BIBLE I NEVER HEARD HER HIT NOTES LIKE THIS ALBUM 7 WILL SLAY US UNDER........PLEASE DO A LIVE ALBUM OR DVD WOULD LIVE
"Don't jock. A bitch got range. I got range. I got range. I got range" Lmao...Damn right Bran! She bout to SLAY the game again on a whole nother level.
And that 'lil church rock she does right after is so cute but funny! I laugh everytime lol.
Talent !
The next album should sound like this. Classic R&B. Vintage old school. Like Adele. She could take the R&B game with ease.
This vocal alone could have been an intro or interlude on an album as is. That's how hot that is. I'm hitting replay in aww
She’s your favorite singer’s, favorite singer
Didn't even know she can hit those notes. Impressed.
Those beginning notes!!! pure heaven. Bran has something big planned for her stars
LOVE this girl!!!!! U betta SANG!
Wooooow! Brandy has range!
OMF GOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've been watching this for 4 consecutive days now!!! This is mad beautiful, go BRAN!!!
i got range i got range i got range lol
she has an extrodinary instrument...
I already know she's an amazing singer but she must really have strong pipes b/c that mic was down by her stomach & you heard her very clearly. I mean I can only imagine how high & strong her voice would've sound had she held the mic up alil higher that's true talent at it's finest.
almightyant90 Thank you for pointing that out. Let's me know she actually can project if she wanted to.
thatsoulchild Yes right!
I can't wait to meet her one day and the great Silent Bx! Two amazing individuals in their crafts!
Brandy is playing with us she needs to give us her true guts and really change the game
YASSS E6!!!
I am in loveeeeeeeeeee with the control of her voice... She can do what the entire fuk she wants to do with it... Like howwwww? She never overdoes it like a lot of singers do she always gives just enough ... Clearly the best!
Awesome video showing Brandy playing around with live vocals!!
And people will still sleep on this person whose vocals are not of this World
i hate she doesn't show this on recordings, her records would be sooo much bigger TODAY with these amazing vocals
The labels won't let her be great.
Just got to remember she's no longer singing & making music in hopes for the next hit single(s) or album.

EPIC.... this is beautiful Brandy
As long as I've been following Brandy, never knew she could sing in this range. Amazing

I feel like a horrible ass fan because I didn't know she could still do the higher notes! But you betta prove my ass wrong Bran! She slated that shit.
She never does those tones! i didnt know either?!! I'm excited!
Chris James me too
She did some higher notes on "Happy" from Never Say Never.

Okay I'm sorry but I always thought Brandy was an "okay" singer, so can someone please tell me why I'm just learning that the girl can actually sing!!! Like WTF I'm watching these videos like THAT'S Brandy?? If she sang like that on an album she'd knock a whole lot of these bitches out!!
I just watched 2 other vids on here and was thinking the same thing.
She actually sings really well on her albums. You should take a listen, and more than once. The things she does with her voice are crazy.
Where have you been? Smh lol.. she's amazing!
Theresa French I don't know, listening to the radio...
You should listen to her album "Human". It's amazing. 😍
OMG does anyone else hears how she just kept the higher register the threw in that lower register and brought it back up like right back up starting at :55
