It’s not just the phenomenal singing, but it’s the acting. She was in character the whole time. She could have easily played Shug Avery in The Color Purple movie musical. She killed this. Ma Rainey energy.
The energy, the talent, the vocals, the attitude….she is definitely up there with the legends. How does that performance not deserve a standing ovation?😳
I think the live version is undoubtedly better than the original. Personally I think she should've released this version, promoted it and it might have done well!
@@joshuamcdowell9745 I couldn't agree more, I wouldn't have to keep going to TH-cam to hear her live performances for one 😂. She never sings her songs the same way and I love that creativity she has
@@dawudjibreel6075exactly, so why does it matter to mention it? Also this performance wasn’t lipped. She had a very slight hiccup when she sang “shame” the 2nd time
@MelaninKingg Because there's a clear distinction between being able to deliver live, in the moment, combating nerves, and coordinating your breathing, whilst performing and singing within the seclusion and safety net of a studio where you can do retakes and have the best take chosen as the final recording. Furthermore this was clearly lip synced. It's apparent from the complete lack of impact her movements have on her vocals as well as the mismatch in the acoustics between the track and the environment she's in.
@@dawudjibreel6075 Which is what she did, LIVE. Grew up in an acapella church, sang on Broadway, her recent Colors was live and in color. So what exactly is your angle? You say that a lipped performance is basically inferior to a live one, yet mention that “it’s still her vocals to be fair” Well of course it’s fair. Whether she lipped this or not, IT IS INFACT STILL A BRANDY PERFORMANCE. She’s given so much vocally that she’s earned the right if so. No one needed to question the authenticity of this performance. You say it’s obvious, yet you felt the need to highlight what you thought was fact. You weren’t even there live to know if it was live or not. This video has been taken down and put back up several times over the years. It’s a video! Also her body shifting shouldn’t have that much of an effect on her voice if her diaphragm is upright and engaged. Do you know what she’s accomplished and capable of ? You need upright posture and an engaged core and breath capacity to sing as intense as she did here. She works out, hard, and practices all the time. She quite capable of singing this song live. There’s literally an 18 minute video of her singing raw acapella. You don’t think she practiced well or hard enough to be able to do this live? You don’t think she learned how to combat nerves from broadway? What authority do you have to challenge the ability or performance of an artist who is basically an expert in her field at this point in time? All of the love and support and reverence for this performance as noted by the comments and likes is enough to tell you that no one caressss. Like that’s the input you chose, not the beauty and emotion of the recording (as you claim), not the aesthetics, not Brandy’s acting.. no you just wanted to say she lipped this performance. Well what now? She’s still capable, she’s still beloved, and you’re still inconspicuous.
I RAN from facebook to watch this full performance. Not only did she sang her ass off, put she played that character through and through and HELD IT DOWN till the very end. When the lights came on she was already in character and she left the stage in character. That’s how you give the people a performance!!❤️❤️❤️
We NEEEEEED Brandy back on the Broadway stage. Performing in a "character"-like way could have come off corny, but Brandy turned it into grade-A theater. Talent on a completely different level.
I can't believe I'm just seeing this, and this performance is already 7 years old. (smh) I could watch this over and over and over again! Brandy was phenomenal in this performance. It gave me chills to watch her sing. Excellent work, Brandy! Kudos to you!!!
Finally they posted this. I need BET to also post her Lady of Soul performance, the I Wanna Be Down performance at the BET Hip Hop Awards from 2014, and her other BGR performance of wildest dreams in 2012.🔥
The entire performance was brilliance + great black American history. They rolled every genre of music that black folk (ADOS) created. Just beautifully done!!
Wowwwww I just found this song on instagram! Always loved her vocals and her earlier work is literally some of my favorite music but oh boy, she should definitely sing in this style more often because WOWWWWW I HAVE GOOSEBUMPS!
Brandy took it back to the juke joint days that only ADOS can truly deliver because of their specific struggle and Godly prayer for deliverance all at the same time. Brandy did that.💕💕💕
Well it’s great that they posted this amazing performance because I believe Brandy performed two or three times on this show with amazing live performances and they never honored her, but people that came out way after Brandy’s debute… (1994) was honored.
Child this lady done snatched every damn hair outta each follicle on my head and i am fuckin BALD do you hear me?!😭😭 MY GAWD! (Woosahhh!) ok ok lemne compose myself Amir and hit play on this video for the 13th time in a row😂
2024 anybody else here .
Yup ‘24
Sure am!
That part!
July
Yessss❤❤❤❤
It’s not just the phenomenal singing, but it’s the acting. She was in character the whole time. She could have easily played Shug Avery in The Color Purple movie musical. She killed this. Ma Rainey energy.
Yes, I said the same. She should have played that role.
I totally agree
Absolutely!!!
Was thinking the same thing!
Brandy was SICK for this 😭😭🔥🔥
😢 mfethu, mesmerising 🥹🔥🔥❤️
Girl ate this and left no crumbs.
ABSOLUTELY THAT PART!!!!!
That PLEADING run at 2:36 😭😭🥺 absolutely divine!!!
I literally rewound that run like 16 times....It's sick!
Jesus Christ... that gave me chills. Man I just can't with Brandy.
aaaaand she was ON THE GROUND SAAAAAANGIN like that.
It is quite nasty....in a good way😉 It was the tone of her voice exactly as she ended the word.
@@AdrienneTurner-ex4qtI got caught up too😂
Take 'em back to the Mississippi juke joint, Brandy!!!
She sang the FUCK out of this song!
AND DID!
@@xylabrown8337 yyASSS!
Absolutely and by every stretch of the imagination.
I watched it 6 damn times
ALL of the fks!!
It’s crazy that this song wasn’t bigger
Frrrr 💯
The energy, the talent, the vocals, the attitude….she is definitely up there with the legends.
How does that performance not deserve a standing ovation?😳
righttttttt!!!??!!😮
I was like “y’all still sitting?”
That girl has an incredible gift and she can act too.
How was this not a bigger hit?
I BEEN SAYING THIS SINCE THE DAY IT CAME OUT
I think the live version is undoubtedly better than the original. Personally I think she should've released this version, promoted it and it might have done well!
@@orangehearted1Brandy needs a live album
@@joshuamcdowell9745 I couldn't agree more, I wouldn't have to keep going to TH-cam to hear her live performances for one 😂.

Okkkkkkk FRT
I can watch this performance over and OVER and over again. VOCAL PERFECTION‼️
It was lip synced, but its still her vocals to be fair.
🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽

And took it straight to the juke joint and back to church! I know I got chills!
That damn pleading at 2:36 snatched me ❤❤❤❤
O MY LORD!!! ARE WE CRAZY? she is a beast.

I can't believe I'm just seeing this, and this performance is already 7 years old. (smh) I could watch this over and over and over again! Brandy was phenomenal in this performance. It gave me chills to watch her sing. Excellent work, Brandy! Kudos to you!!!
