How Brandy Overcame Her Personal Struggles, Heartbreak & Tragedy To Become a Music & TV Icon

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ก.ย. 2024
- She has the honour of being a part of that special group of teens that dominated the ‘90s R&B scene with their chart-topping hits, eye catching dance moves and trend starting style. Brandy, though, made sure she stood out from the rest with her signature braids, her ability to juggle both singing and acting at the same time and a wholesome image that other teens, as well as their parents, could admire and look up to. But, since nobody’s perfect, throughout her life and career Brandy’s also experienced her share of heartbreak, tragedy and failure.

The first black princess
Facts❤
Brandy was and still is my idol. She doesn’t get enough credit for the influence that she’s had on the culture. Movies,tv show(s),her own doll,she was the first Black Cinderella!! We will never have an unambiguous Black woman with the level of mainstream success that Brandy had. Her success was out of the stratosphere. Many have come close but not on her level.
I hate the way people make her a punching bag online 😔🥺 There are several people in our community that have made mistakes and y’all forgave them. Brandy deserves that same grace. She’s an icon,a legend and I love her so much!💕
Everything you stated sis all facts❤❤❤ and a person definitely can catch 👊🏿's disrespecting Brandy too. Lol
@@thetruesoulofanaquarius9302 lmaooo right friend
Cinderella with Brandy and Whitney STILL makes me cry! 😢 My FAVORITE version of the fairy tale. Yes, I did see it on the day of its premiere.❤
I have never clicked so fast!!! My favorite singer since age 5!!! The obsession that i had with her as a kid was unreal lol(still have the barbie till this day lol) and here we are today in 2023 and she's still my favorite!! I would love to see her in concert one day!! 😢❤
The movie Double Platinum is a classic underrated movie
TRUTHFULLY and
PUT THAT ON EVERYTHING
are the most beautiful, tearjerking, heartwarming, almost sad songs I have ever heard. 1998 was everything when it came to Brandy. The show “Moesha” was smart to have “Moesha Meets Brandy” in the first episode. Very smart promotion for the end of that summer of dominating the charts.
Yep when I think 98 I was in the 4th grade,when I think of the whole vibe of that year Brandy always comes to mind
The best album by her!!
Had the “Never Say Never” album on cassette. I adore “Truthfully”! “I would never no neverrr never lieee to youuuu,truuuuthfuulyyyy!” Lol 🎤❤️
@@beemocha That right there what you just sung in the quotes was the beginning of the most beautiful part of that song, the last chorus. When she says “even if you dont believe” as an adlib in the last chorus I always start to cry.
I recommend you listening to STAY by Destinys Child. If you love TRUTHFULLY by Brandy you will definitely love STAY by Destinys Child that came out one year later.
@@AmoMe2009 ok I’ll check it out 😊
She's in my top 5 all time and probably not just female r & b I mean musically all time.I've been drawn to her since day one🥰🥰
I love Brandy so much. She's super talented and has a good heart. Makes mistakes like everyone else but still manages to fight through it. Definitely my top 5 R&B divas 👑
Brandy also shares a birthday with D'Angelo, Jennifer Aniston, Kelly Rowland and Sheryl Crow (February 11th)
Brandy is a legend
The Vocal Bible 👑
The definition of black girl magic, vocally unmatched,Trail Blazers &
90s icon this is why she is forever Brandy ✨💖😊🎤✨
You should have Keshia Knight Pulliam from The Cosby Show
I think they did her already.
Brandy is my Queen 👸🏾 ❤
Another fabulous video/story from Juicy Pop....Thanks and as always...Keep them coming!!❤❤😊
Brandy also did voice acting in the movie Osmosis Jones
Please do Mary Kate and Ashley
It will be less connected to black people
Please do Dee Dee Davis from The Bernie Mac Show
Brandy the vocal Bible!!
Never forget on The Parkers episode Scary Kim where Moesha was Cinderella for Kim's Halloween birthday party and she said I look just like Brandy in Cinderella
I've always loved Brandy 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Good to see Brandy still doing big things these days.
Thea was so underrated the 30th anniversary of the show is this year
I love her so much
I'm still mad that Moesha ended on a cliffhanger
I always wanted to be Brandy as a young girl…..to this day she is one of my favorites (along with Whitney)
Great story on Brandy
I really thought her career was over, but Borderline is brilliant. It deserved more attention.
Thank you! That's like my favourite Brandy song now. Such a deep and pensive song with a message.
She IS the vocal Bible ‼️‼️‼️
I really loved her song Departed from the Human album ❤
And Juicy Pop y'all wrong for that blinded comment... they were kids..😂😂🤭 that was a crazy fun fact. I found out about that a few years ago. I think Ray J spoke on it...
It was an accident. I wish people would realize this and Romeo forgave Brandy.
Put that on everything is her best song 💯 won’t be reading any comments 😂
I had a Brandy doll!!!
Vocal bible ❤❤
What's crazy is that I believe what Brandy said in that interview about her beef with Countess. Countess has always wanted to be a star and yes, she can sing, but let's be real. even if she was pencil thin and taller, she still doesn't have that singer quality. She barely had that IT quality. Because if she did, why didn't she work after The Parkers???
Never was big fan of hers...but glad she doing well...ginuwine was offered to be the prince in Cinderella...but turned it down...she was good short lived show star 🌟
You were offered the role of the price? What's your name? What other work have you started in?
I would love to check out your work? You must have some big projects under your belt too.🙂
Because Brady is still a super star legend. And have done so much in her career since that iconic movie.
It was awesome.
What movies and albums have do you have?
I would love to hear and see your artistic works.
Who was abusing Brandy?!?! 🥺
Brandy throws underhanded jabs while sounding like the levelheaded one in all her dust ups.
Moesha definitely deserved a proper ending it ended on a cliffhanger just like The Wayans Bros, The Jeffersons, That's so Raven, The Bernie Mac Show, Girlfriends, Half & Half, My Wife & Kids, Malcolm & Eddie, Smart Guy, Eve, All of Us, Taina and Duckman
Oh that’s right-I forgot about Taina!
It was not a cliffhanger
@@lexkanyima2195 Moesha wasn’t a cliffhanger???
@@AmoMe2009 no
@@lexkanyima2195 so Myles was rescued from the kidnapping?
Brandy throws that classy shade 😂😂
@jackharlow watch this boy, learn your herstory
Brandy also was with rapper Flo Rida
Stop playing with her 👏🏾👏🏾
Loved her still do 4:22
I grew up on Moesha, my sister use to watch it every week, as an artist her and monica should have been bigger than Brittney, they had a unique style, like a lot of female R&B/Pop artist.
I agree. As much as I am a fan of both the debut albums of Britney and Christina, it is blatantly obvious that they both sold much more than Never Say Never for a “certain” reason and that reason is inexcusable.
Unfortunately the machine behind MTV or TRL was stronger than UPN.
@@AmoMe2009 They did sell more, because they had a bigger label and MTV marketing their music more, true. In my opinion Brandy and Monica had a natural talent Christina could sing, but they turned Brittney into a white Janet Jackson.
@@Profess84 well said!!!!! All of what you said!!!
@@Profess84Britney is nowhere as good as Janet
HAPPY 30TH ANNIVERSARY TO THE SHORT LIVED SITCOM "THEA"
Truth of the matter is Brandy was/is an insecurely talented individual. Like her or not, you can never deny singing ability and iconic career. Period. It’s unfortunate she didn’t see herself in the ways people with real vision saw her. Brandy was notoriously known for having a “mean girl” spirit. Let’s just call a spade, a spade. If you’re a 90s baby then you know the real. Brandy took unwarranted shots at Thea, Aaliyah, Monica, Adina Howard, Countess Vaughn, Destiny’s Child, Foxy Brown and others. Anyone Brandy felt like their lights shined brighter than hers, she secretly had issues with and it showed. Another thing is Brandy several personalities. One minute she tries to portray this sweet girl next door image then the next minute she’s B-rocka a hood chick from Compton. You couldn’t determine if her energy was authentic. That alone made most not appreciate her as a person. To be fair I can understand the pressures and having an overbearing mother and an immature little brother didn’t help or ease the burden. Nonetheless it’s the very reason why people didn’t and still don’t gravitate to Brandy, the individual. You never hear stories of her embracing and showing love to the younger generation even though most of them grew up and admire her. It’s very unfortunate because again she’s amazingly talented and she’s fucking Brandy. Her resume and accomplishments can’t be denied or duplicated.
It’s giving R. Kelly and Aaliyah 😕
It's shame that only that boy is mine is only Brandy successful song . She 's got so many songs.
Here ❤❤❤❤
😂😂Brandy is,super shady in her comments toward Countess and Thea
Back in the 90s they gave REAL INTERVIEWS… NO SUGACOATING.
💐🌹
Brandy is and will always be the first black princess
I could tell it was a fake marriage when I watched the show. It was obvious he did not like no less love her. The (TV) story told sound like a PR stunt
Brandy sold out whitney her brother lace her
Brandy only lasted a season in the music. I'm sure no one notices she has been gone. So irrelevant.
M to the O to the E to the -------Moesha!
I believe FULL MOON was one of those albums that not only was ahead of it’s time but was uniquely produced just for Brandy fans and unfortunately the masses slept on it and could not comprehend her new sound. The short era is understandable due to her pregnancy and lack of touring/promotion however the album itself is quite superb production-wise and the lyrical transition from end of one song to the beginning of one song was exceptional. Like Max Martin is to Britney Spears, Rodney Jerkins is to Brandy! 🏆
'Darkchild' is an ICONIC producer! I love FULL MOON! ❤❤❤❤❤
This is arguably Brandy's BEST album to date for the exact reasons u explained. "Full Moon' In my opinion is the quintessential r&b album of it's time. And, it's my fave album of any genre, and by any artist of ALL time.
True
I think it was overproduced, which is a usual case with American producers, especially Darkchild.
@@fanstastic83facts and Brandy she was inspired by Aaliyah last album she said on Billboard. Rodney said he had to mix multiple times. Yeah Full Moon open the doors for vocals but not sound. She was inspired by Aaliyah red album.
The fact Brandy worked/was acknowledged by the legends like Diana Ross, Tony Bennett, Whitney, Mariah, among others before the age of 20 is a feat within itself. The first Black princess, and forever The Vocal Bible ❤️❤️. If there is one artist who benefited the most from the Verzuz battle is definitely Brandy. It’s beautiful seeing this reemergence/renaissance of her finally receiving her flowers and just due 💐. Her discography is one of the best.
B7 is one of Brandy's BEST albums yet! ❤
THIS COMMENT!! 🤌🏾💯
@@danavixen6274im gonna go check it out
Brandy dominated the 90s. She was the first black Covergirl, had a hit show, a platinum album, the first black Cinderella, and even had her own toyline.
I remember I first got into Brandy, it was during her Full Moon era when she released What About Us? Still my favorite song from her.
Not only Brandy. Aaliyah, Usher, Monica, and Mya dominated the teen scene in the 90s
For black teens
I might just be a white nerdy guy these days but I remember jumping into this girl's car and hearing brandy for the first time and loving it. Some things are just universal. God that was 94 I think, I feel old ha ha
Brandy's Never Say Never is a timeless classic R&B album
@beaniegee5129 what are your favorites off that album?
@@AmoMe2009Tomorrow, The Boy is Mine, Have You Ever, U Don't Know Me, Almost Doesn't Count, Angel in Disguise and a cover of Bryan Adams' Everything I Do I Do it for You
Put that on everything needed a Grammy on its own! 🔥
@@fightoverload2.015 It sure freakin’ did! Absolutely correct!
Yes I listen to it like 4 times a year
Brandy is a RESILIENT icon. DEFINITELY one of my FAVORITE legends from the 90s! ❤❤❤❤❤
Happy birthday in heaven Whitney, this was a perfect birthday tribute. did you know today was Whitney’s birthday
She would've been 60. It's really sad Brandy's idol died on her birthday. 😔🙏🏾❤️🕊️
Tell me about it, I wonder what Whitney told her in that note she gave her before she died.
Brandy is a 90’s icon! 🖤
I love Brandy . All the young 90s teens had their own identities .. Aaliyah had the swag , the bomb producers , Brandy had the braids and the tv show , Monica had the short do and the attitude, Mya had her own thing going too
Well sais
Mya was the teen That could dance ber butt off
The producers/writers on Moesha should be heavily ashamed of themselves. Not only did that “your cousin Dorian is really your brother” storyline sucked but the series finale also ended poorly and goes to show you how Hollywood treated Black television during the new decade of the 2000s. Everyone can remember the farewell finale of MASH, CHEERS, FRAISER, FRIENDS, 90210, etc but barely anyone can remember the last episodes of the abruptly cancelled Moesha, Smart Guy, Jamie Foxx, The Wayans Brothers. Although a bit rushed, Sister Sister was the only 90s show that had an actual finale.
That is so true! Same with Girlfriends and Living Single! IMO, the Living Single finale was lackluster considering how ICONIC this show will always be! I love all the shows you mentioned! The BEST Black TV show finales I can remember are for The Cosby Show, A Different World and Martin. ❤
Jamie foxx show had the wedding but that wasn’t really a farewell right?
@@skylarmccall5737more a actual ending
No, Fresh Prince and Martin had also a
actual series finale.
I hear you..The Parkers had a finale as well
The biggest teen star of the 90s in R&B
The Mount Rushmore of Black teen girl icons of the 90s: Brandy, Aaliyah, Monica, Mya
I’m so glad to see Brandy continuing to work so well in the industry. She deserves her flowers.
naw bey was still around when they were just in a group, way more impact than mya, and mya didnt show up till late 90s
Why" black teen girl icons "?
Why put her into a smaller box?
She was an international teenage superstar. Period!
I live in Germany and even here us brown and black teenagers looked up to her and Monica.
I wish more black people knew of the impact that they have on the worldwide music, sports and overall culture!
@@djim839don’t discredit mya like that.
@@firouz256”black teen girl icons” is not even a small comparison but okayyy 😭
@@djim839 Mya & Destiny’s child both came out in the late 90s.
Brandy is one of the 🐐from the 90’s. She is everything! 🔥🔥
My girl! Never Say Never is the BEST album from her catalog! PERIOD! Her body of work is nothing to be played with! ❤
I loved Brandy then and still love her today. I taught myself how to do her braids on my own head by watching her. She’s our Princess. I still have a picture of my niece crying her eyes out, holding her Brandy doll as Brandy smiled and hugged her at Macy’s. She will never forget that day.
Awwww ❤️❤️❤️
Can you please do Ashley Monique Clark from the Huguley
Brandy's Afrodisiac album is so underrated
It's one of my favorites from Brandy! Talk about our love was not a good lead single.
"Thank you"
"I tried "
BANGERS
Brandy's self-titled debut album was released on the same day as Jade's second and final album Mind, Body and Song on September 26th 1994
You should do Rider Strong from Boy Meets World
The Q part was pretty funny how you used the picture of Fredro Starr as Q
Can u please do lil Romeo🥰
Mo to the E to the-Moesha!
👍🏿
You should do Josh Peck from Drake & Josh and Drake Bell
Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella is a classic!!
her label Atlantic Records didn't promote Afrodisiac. brandy & timbaland wanted Afrodisiac as the first single. they chose the Kanye west produced song Talk About our love which only got chosen because kanyes production was the big thing at the time. then I Tried was supposed to be the 2nd single. the label chose Who is she to you. they botched the whole era. there were barely any performances scheduled & no big award show appearances.
lol it’s so funny how Juicy is always used for the facial expression reactions . Kinda just made the connection too 😂
I still bump her Afrodisiac album to THIS day!! I do not skip one song. It is hands-down one of the best R&B albums ever. I never understood why it didn't get the recognition it deserved.
her label Atlantic Records didn't promote it. brandy & timbaland wanted Afrodisiac as the first single. they chose thr Kanye west produced song Talk About our love which only got chosen because kanyes production was the big thing at the time. then I Tried was supposed to be the 2nd single. the label chose Who is she to you. they botched the whole era.
@@reesendamusix that's unfortunate because it definitely has bangers. I Tried is my JAM!!
Brandy and Timbo need to get back in the studio 🔥🔥🔥. I would of never picked that damn Talk about our love as first single
@DJShawn1980NYC agreed. Not as the first single. There were other better ones for the first single.
Brandy's Full Moon is a classic album
7:19 Do we ever find out who the Abusive boyfriend was??
Wanya was sooo outta pocket for dating a teen girl that was Brandy like a grown man dating a teen was unspoken of back in the day but Wanya was such a creep and a bit of a p*do once she became of age he dumps for Adina Howard damn, that was foul and Wanya should be called out for this and ruining her love life as a result shame on you Wanya!!!!
Adina got What was comin' 2 Her via Sylvia Rhoane. Karma!
I'm sure Whacko Wanya got his, 2 @ Some point.
@@chancest.thomas5160 Wanya is such a fucking creep like seriously that is just gross like ppl in the 90s be letting this shit slide but no wonder why she fell off like you ain't no Black Madonna hoe and Boyz II Men flopped because of Wanya's dirty ass doing Brandy like that she always perservers unlike her hood rat ass brother that ruined Moesha with his arrogant ass, a non motherfucking factor that Ray J is for doing trash content like Zeus and disrespecting, shame on him, no wonder why Brandy doesn't get involved with the fuckshit he does, he's an embarrassment!!!
Wanya is not a pedophile at all
Afrodisiac was definitely slept on. I don't care Brandy definitely deserves her flower and was the it girl of the 90s. Being brown skinned rocking braids with the girl next door/everyday look❤❤❤. Thea need to shutup.
I TRIED, FOCUS and SHOULD I GO are my top 3 favorite songs off that album! I love how Timbaland incorporated
ColdPlay into both I TRIED and SHOULD I GO.
@@AmoMe2009Agreed! Props to Timbo! ❤
@@emmanuellatee yaaass!!!!!! Oh man that was dope and a bit haunting listening that. Super quality music. Music isn’t haunting anymore like it used to be wear it touches somewhere in your heart/soul.
Nowadays it’s mumble rap and depressing R&B full of talking instead of actual vocals.
We all fall down and possibly get scarred up or break something. It’s the getting up and starting over then pushing through is what keeps you going.
Brandy has done it all.
Brandy was also a judge on America's Got Talent on the first season
Still love her to this day 🫶🏽🫶🏽
Brandy’s wigs in the 2000s is crazy
How was I to know that Juicy Pop would do a story on Brandy after after commenting on the last video that Sza kinda looked like Brandy!🤔😀
I feel like Brandy is so slept on now. The girl sang with Whitney as a Disney princess, was a teen star, and had her own TV show.
Donald Faison also appeared in the video for Brandy's Sittin Up in My Room
702, Fat Joe and Cuban Link made cameo appearances in the Brandy movie Double Platinum
Brandy can rap!!!🤔🤔😁💯
I been down w/ B since '94. that Never Say Never album will always be a favorite of mine. shes an icon. love her.
Can you do a video on Cassie? Why she only released 1 album despite its 2 hit singles?
Love the channel and videos ❤❤
Brandy got away with soooo much iisshh!! Romeo's eye, hit someone's car with her car and the woman died behind it??!! 🤔🤔🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️ Lbvs....It's probably SEVERAL other things that we dont know about yet!! She ain't that cute, sweet, and innocent y'all!! 🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️🤣🤣
Yeah, she should’ve did some serious time for hitting somebody and killing a mother of two good girl or not you got to suffer consequences for your actions like that
