Her voice seems like it reinvents itself every 3 years or so. I am an EXTREME Brandy fan and an avid listener so yes I agree with you ! 💯 She use a lot more head voice on this latest album and she embraced more of her “youthful” lighter tones . I can’t really explain it but I can definitely hear it 😂👌🏿
I’m glad you said all of this. Brandy’s voice is always changing. When she sang the start spangled banner, I felt a little bit of her Human vocal era was peaking through, unlike 211 which was way more raspy.
I’ll say this! For this audience I think this was a safe and clean performance. I love her low notes that’s what makes her Brandy. I think these TH-cam coaches and fans dig into it more than needed. Dilessa I agree people are so messy! Brandy’s voice is never going to be a Whitney! She is who she is and accept that and move on!
Right! People always assume that . It’s so funny how what Brandy does goes right over people head and ears 😂. People are then even shock to know that she can even belt , Brandy can do it all really .
People KILL me with the lip synch shame. Lol. Who cares if Brandy lip synchs ONE performance?!?!?! She’s literally BRANDY! She has been Singing LIVE her ENTIRE Career. She has PROVEN herself as a Vocalist MULTIPLE times. If she decided to REST her Voice one time I don’t Blame Her.
She did better than most people. Those low notes were very low, most singers couldn't sing that low acapella and maintain resonance. I do think she sang it slightly too low though. People have a high note bias.
Good review...one thing though...I don't think Brandy displayed any nervousness in her performance. As you stated there are several videos of her performing the national anthem acapella at other sporting events. Also, I have never heard of a professional recording artist being described as being nervous. She is a veteran performer and knows how not to put that on display.
She was definitely nervous lol she even said it. She’s not a performer on big platforms and this was live and a hard song and acappella. Lol and she’s my favorite but it’s true bruh lol
@@Anfani Brandy is very humble in her interviews. I know she has said that she was nervous. What I meant by what I said was, she didn't display her nervousness in her performance. I didn't see or hear that from her at all when she sang. I think she executed what she rehearsed like she always does and even flashed a smile at the end that let me think that she felt like she nailed it. Mary J Blige said she was nervous too in interviews. Nobody has said Mary did good but you can tell she was nervous.
For the record Whitney did not sing her version LIVE! What reviews were reading??? She has been praised. What an frustrating review SMDH!!! Had to turn it off!
Ooo chile. I want to hear it without all of the reverb and echoing and etc. I don't think her voice is built for this type of song. It's a BIG song and her voice isn't BIG big anymore! No shade; it's just not her vibe. She's STILL one of the best and most unique voices of our time! Period!
Was her voice ever "big"? I actually think her voice is thicker and fuller since she did Chicago. She has more weight and richness in her upper belts without losing her signature synth-y brightness.
What does this even mean? I didn’t know the star bangled banner was exclusive to singers with “big” voices.. Brandy is that skilled of a vocalist that she can adapt and sing pretty much anything. Her voice isn’t weighty but she has the skill and range.
Has anyone noticed Brandy has a new singing style? It's like she tapped into another portal on her most recent album. Truly is a student and pioneer.

@@FittedMisfits1 Yup ! That’s exactly it . Say something and borderline is that . Airy, light and clear.
Yes..I notice it too on her songs that she sings on Queens
I loved the flute vs trumpet analogy

Brandy sang in her upper register in Beggin and Pleadin, Deliver Me, and Freedom Rings. Those songs aren’t that old
True true!! I forgot about those!

The national anthem doesn't even deserve us! It gets what it gets purrr.
That part!
Right!!!!
correct!
This part!
Whoever said that was their first time hearing Brandy singing full out clearly doesn’t know anything about her live performances
Right! People always assume that . It’s so funny how what Brandy does goes right over people head and ears 😂. People are then even shock to know that she can even belt , Brandy can do it all really .
Exactly! Brandy is a professional and understands the assignment at all times.

Agreed!!

I love your transparency and honesty
I loved it.......Brandy did beautifully great
Excellent commentary. I agree!
Love your videos !
I think she chose F major because her high belts are not consistent, or better not always easily sustained, and she wanted to play it safe.

@@nicim3730 she literally rushed off the stage when she finished. That’s a clear sign of nervous.
@@msawmusic your reply is a clear sign that you misunderstood my comments
she wasnt displaying nervousness that badly but i feel like singers can tell lol
Didn’t Brandy get some coaching from Mariah Carey recently?
I wish she would use her upper register more. Idk why she hold back. The key was too low.
Smoke detector.

Dilessa is talking about people complaining to her about the performance.She's actually defending Brandy's artistry. Not sure why you're upset.
Honestly I think she just need a female vocal coach. Brandy has a beautiful voice but I do feel like a female perspective could help her.
you sound soooo invalid. Like wtf are you even talking about 😂
She doesn’t need a coach.
Ooo chile. I want to hear it without all of the reverb and echoing and etc.

I found the clearer audio version

Even Britney can sing the national anthem 😂
Marvin Gaye doesn't have a big voice, and he killed it.
