@@tammraevans6634 yes. It sounds weird but I wish she'd use her old voice on her new songs. It seems like she's a whole different artist. A big part of her appeal was her effortless, innocent, sweet sound. If she had her voice now back then, I don't think I would've been a fan. That doesn't mean her voice now isn't awesome because it is. Her old voice just speaks to me on a different level. ❤
@@user-ip5fm3ck4p Sadly, if what my mother told me is true, it isn't a matter of her not using her old voice but rather not being able to use it. She got a tear on her vocal cords caused by voice strain.
Imagine Whitney being alive coming in the end when there opening the book on the last page saying.... “ Impossible things are happening evvvvvverrrryyyy daaaaaayyyyy” God how I miss that voice. RIPMotha and Natalie!
Taking me back to my childhood 😍😍😍😍 Plus it's the perfect month for this too. Well done Todrick Hall and my all time favorite Brandy Norwood. AMAZING 👏👏👏👏😭😭😭😭😂😂😂👑👑👑👑💝💝💝💝💝💝
I just found this and cried. Brandy’s Cinderella is STILL my favorite and the biggest mistake Disney ever made was not putting out the soundtrack. Thank you Todrick for all your genius!
Yea Natalie got me bc she definitely would’ve participated (ik Whitney would’ve as well but Natalie passing in the last few years was just very shocking to me & she most definitely would’ve made the timeline to be in this if only they filmed a year earlier😢).
Brandy is a gifted singer and her placement of runs and adlibs, intonation and phrasing is second to none. Not even one singer comes close. She has an ear for instrumentation.
when Brandy came through the doors in that dress i immediately started tearing up. i remember being a little girl and being sad that there was no princess that looked like i did. i felt like i could never be a princess. then this movie came out...and i felt like everything was possible. And to make it even better the girl playing Cinderella had my name!! I was a little black girl named Brandi with braids watching a black girl named Brandy with braids playing the most iconic princess of all time. ALSO...REST IN PEACE TO NATALIE DESSELE!!!
I was a little white English girl and brandy was still my favourite Cinderella. Her skin tone in the blue dress was so beautiful to me, she’ll always be my favourite Cinderella. In my own little corner is possibly one of my favourite songs ever! xx
God Bless you and God rest her soul! A blessing to see people of our culture playing roles that were meant for a white actor! God knows how to make us all smile and give His Name some praise! To Him be the glory always🙌🏾💛👑✝️🙏🏾!!!
I WANT THE WORLD TO STOP PLAYING WITH BRANDY LIKE SHE ISNT A TALENT THAT WE HAVE SEEN OVER AND OVER AGAIN! SHE IS ONE OF A KIND AND SHALL BE TREATED AS SUCH!
Her voice matured so beautifully! It’s so rich and sultry! Before her voice was sweet and gentle! _The_ vocal Bible! Her phrasing, runs, adlibs and INTONATION!
Warning: The Lord Jesus Christ is coming back to make war!!!! The door of redemption is closing very quickly. Choose what side you will be on, and choose wisely. But make 1 thing clear... Every knee will bow and confess Jesus is lord, rather you like it or not. Eternity is FOREVER!!
I was getting so used to thick Brandy this threw me off just a tad I was all here for it though and the fact that she's got braces and she sings with her braces now and I find that weird when people sing like they have braces and they sing with them so their mouth moves differently and as a singer I'm like it's just the same as if you have false or dentures and I'm like sing as you normally sing the reason they placed them there is not to change your mouth just straighten your teeth
@@TesjamebraJ Sadly she just passed away in December and from the same hateful disease that Chadwick succumbed to. 😔 It was so sad to see her leave a beautiful message about Chadwick when he passed knowing that she had the same thing. I hate cancer with a passion.
I can tell that Brandy is absolutely living in this, like this moment has been waiting for her and she is killing it. I love everything about this, thank you Todrick for putting this together
There’s lots of comments on brandy not ageing but can we talk about Bernadette Peters!? THE WOMAN IS IN HER 70s AND LOOKS THE SAME AS SHE DID IN HER MID 40s!!!!
Girl YASSSSSS!!!! She looks absolutely stunning. And I loved me some Bernadette Peters, dating back to her playing in the Jerk with Steve Martin. She's awesome.
I'm shocked I missed this last year, but the 25th-anniversary REUNION is showing on ABC in a week so I had to start looking up songs. I am SOBBING right now with tears of joy. This movie, this version, with its color and representation and humor and *heart* has been everything to me, and this was such a wonderful showing. Brandy has only gotten better with age, and it was wonderful to see the digital reunion of the other living cast members. Thank you SO MUCH for this gift, Todrick!!
I remember as a little girl wanting so much to be like Brandy. Cinderella didn't want to be a princess, she wanted to be treated with kindness and respect! That always stayed with me.
Brandy STILL looks like she's in her young twenty's and could easily play Miss 'Rella still!!!!!! The original cast at the end GAVE ME MY LIFE!!!! Toddrick!!! HOW do you keep outdoing yourself!!!! Thank you!
I think it really says a lot about how much they enjoyed being a part of it. Not every TV movie is fondly remembered 24 years later. This one is something special
Now this is how u do a rerelease. The nostalgia is real and I'm sitting here tearing up watching this masterpiece. 23 year old man and I'm still obsessed with this film. Brandy is still the best and she still got it, still my favorite female singer ever. Lost it when she came out in the dress shes so beautiful, Todrik is a genius with his work and sure knows how to put on a great show. And the cameo of fellow cast members at the end definitely was gold. I'm watching this soon as Possible now that it's on Diney Plus.
25 years, and she has not aged a day. This was so wholesome and brought me to tears with joy. Rip Whitney and Natalie Desselle Reid would have loved to have been part of this project.
@@gamegenetix96 it was in the comments but you need to back TF up off of me. If it went to the original person then ow well because I could take her comment as shady as well
Now this is amazing that he was able to recreate this with the cast of Cinderella this is EPIC!!!!, I just wish that whitney Houston and Natalie desselle would have been alive to be in this as well!!! RIP Whitney Houston and Natalie Desselle
I was unable to get through this without crying whilst singing along! This movie gave me some of the best moments of my childhood! It gave me a connection with my bio mom that I’ll forever be thankful for! It allowed me to believe that my brown skin and braids could be beautiful during a time when that wasn’t the norm. I spent so long trying to change everything I thought made me look more “black,” I straightened my hair and wore what all my white friends were wearing! This movie gave me hope that someday I could be a princess too and win the prince’s heart!
This is how you pay homage!!! They incorporated Brandy’s complex backing vocals respecting that her voice has matured and is more breathy this was so well done!!! THANK YOU TODRICK!!!!
This literally proves that if they ever had a thought to remake this version, Brandy could and should reprise her role as Cinderella! So Iconic I had to comment twice lol.
@@syncta4revived i know that, i love this movie . Disney could make more movies. With more pple of colour. But different storys. Not Cinderella. But maybe afrikan fairytales.
This Medley is beautifully done. Todrick is a very talented and creative individual(loved the Wizard of Ahhs he did with Pentatonix) And to have Brandy there to reprise her role made me squeal with delight. not to mention having the whole original minus the two that have since left us was magically to any one who loved the original movie
That tone and elegant beauty in her voice when she enters the ballroom is unmatched! I swear Brandy has gold down in her throat. She is just amazing..!
People will never understand how it felt as a child to finally see yourself portrayed as a princess. It was magical, it was emotional, it was imperative. It changed my life. Ive heard so much bullcrap over African American representation and why we have BET and other stupid arguments opposing our needs to be represented positively in American media. I've asked people who a famous black actor or black singer is and they dont know, but I know who Twiggy, Johnny Cash, Richard Gere and Betty White are is the issue. Americas need to turn the victim into the villain is nauseating.
Okkkkkkkkkkk and at the time Brandy was our role model. To be honest just to watch this brought me back to my childhood where because of this movie we truly thought we could be or become anything our heart desired. It was a movie that well received by all...... And you couldn't hate because the singing was on point....
It’s played all the way out! They need to know we’re on to them and we’re over it and frankly bored of the villain propaganda to maintain low self esteem narcissistic psychopaths
Yo I’m sitting here with tears in my eyes! Brandy singing In My Own Little Corner in 2021! And she’s wearing THE dress! I’m emotional! 😭😭😭 I love you for this Todrick!
Love you Toddy ❤️❤️
I LOVE YOU QUEEN
Girl u look even younger ❤️🙏
THANK YOU BRANDY!!! My favorite Cinderella from my childhood that I can share with my daughter!!! ♥️♥️♥️
This was ICONIC!!!! Thank you so much to you, Todrick and the everyone involved!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
WE LOVE YOU BRANDY
So Brandy is definitely aging backwards😍
right
Like a fine wine 🍷
Isn’t she now!
Y’all don’t see those wrinkles on her neck, please STOP 🥴

They are never forgotten and always in our hearts ♥️ 💞

I love this!!!

You can tell Brandy's voice has matured. Her voice back then sounded so sweet and gentle, now it's so sultry and smooth. Aged like fine wine.
I prefer her old voice.
@@user-ip5fm3ck4p I get that. Her old voice had a certain sweetness to it. So I will miss that nostalgic sound.

THE WAY IM CRYING SO HYSTERICALLY

Taking me back to my childhood 😍😍😍😍 Plus it's the perfect month for this too. Well done Todrick Hall and my all time favorite Brandy Norwood. AMAZING 👏👏👏👏😭😭😭😭😂😂😂👑👑👑👑💝💝💝💝💝💝
I just found this and cried. Brandy’s Cinderella is STILL my favorite and the biggest mistake Disney ever made was not putting out the soundtrack. Thank you Todrick for all your genius!
I think it has something to do with Disney not owning the rights to the songs
Yes.
What !? I have the soundtrack...
It was brandy's record label that didnt allow it
@@Sillybillyilly where? How did you get it?
I literally smiled the entire time. thank you
Sameee, I damn near wanna cry lol
Me tooooo!!!
MEE TOOOOO!!! SQUEEEEEEEE
OMG I cried
SAME!!!!
RIP. Natalie Desselle-Reid. The only thing missing from this beautiful tribute. I’ve watched it 20 times now.
I just commented about Natalie. She deserves to be acknowledged.
I was just about to say the same!
Yea i wish they would have did a tribute at least to her!
The only thing? What about the fairy godmother herself? It’s been years but let’s not forget
Seeing Brandy wearing the Cinderella dress is definitely giving me the nostalgia feels
Yes I just about cried when she entered the room... This was awesome
@@lexferrell9874 🥲way ahead of ya
Leona XO this right here matters it’s important and I love that we’re able to share these moments...
I'm wondering if it is THE dress or a replica 🤩 would be so cool if its the original dress😍
Omg why am I sobbing?!? Between Ms. Whitney and Ms. Natalie and THE ORIGINAL DRESS!?!?! Lord....the Disney Magic of it all.
That's not the original dress though. Look at the front where the jewels are, they're a different pattern. Loved this though
It's a remake of the dress
Ok??!!! I noticed that!!!
Yea Natalie got me bc she definitely would’ve participated (ik Whitney would’ve as well but Natalie passing in the last few years was just very shocking to me & she most definitely would’ve made the timeline to be in this if only they filmed a year earlier😢).
Todrick Hall is a criminally underrated artist. This man can literally do everything at a high level.
Totally agreed! I saw him in concert and hands down one of best performance I've ever seen in my life. It was right up there with pinks funhouse tour.
That’s the perfect way to describe his talent. Throw anything this mans way and he can be the best in the room at it
YES. BLESS
Facts.
I agree with you completely. This is such a masterpiece
RIP to Whitney Houston and Natalie Desselle for being apart of this Magical and Classical movie. I still knew the lyrics to every song.
I didn't know she had passed. When they did the reunion recently and she wasn't there. I had assumed she'd had a falling out with the cast.
I would've loved to see them included somewhere as a little tribute, but this was magic!
@@Tori-qi2mz they did for Whitney
@@augustjsb I totally missed that!
Well this is certainly not how I expected to find out Whitney Houston had passed (I knew Natalie Desselle had because of other reasons).
This was everything
*is... is everything*
THIS is the Brandy we love!!! Welcome back B🎉🎉🎉🎉
I couldn’t have said it better
Made me miss Whitney tho 😢
Yoooooooooooooooooooooooo
Brandy is a gifted singer and her placement of runs and adlibs, intonation and phrasing is second to none. Not even one singer comes close. She has an ear for instrumentation.
OMG, this is the best description of Brandy's musical talent.
I love Toody
Her father is a excellent vocal coach.
She's very brilliant in her choices. You can tell artist of today who have selectively studied her arrangements and harmony style.
when Brandy came through the doors in that dress i immediately started tearing up. i remember being a little girl and being sad that there was no princess that looked like i did. i felt like i could never be a princess. then this movie came out...and i felt like everything was possible. And to make it even better the girl playing Cinderella had my name!! I was a little black girl named Brandi with braids watching a black girl named Brandy with braids playing the most iconic princess of all time. ALSO...REST IN PEACE TO NATALIE DESSELE!!!
Aw man! I forgot Natalie died a few months ago 😢
I was a little white English girl and brandy was still my favourite Cinderella. Her skin tone in the blue dress was so beautiful to me, she’ll always be my favourite Cinderella. In my own little corner is possibly one of my favourite songs ever! xx
Same!!!!! 🙌🏾🥺
God Bless you and God rest her soul! A blessing to see people of our culture playing roles that were meant for a white actor! God knows how to make us all smile and give His Name some praise! To Him be the glory always🙌🏾💛👑✝️🙏🏾!!!
Right??? I was like "OMG they really did this!"
I WANT THE WORLD TO STOP PLAYING WITH BRANDY LIKE SHE ISNT A TALENT THAT WE HAVE SEEN OVER AND OVER AGAIN! SHE IS ONE OF A KIND AND SHALL BE TREATED AS SUCH!
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
The fact that she literally looks the same as when she first filmed this is mind blowing!!! Beautiful!!!! I absolutely Love her!😍😍😍😍😍
LOOKS AND SOUNDS!!!!! 🥰😍
@Monkey Brown for the most part yes ...

@Monkey Brown this!
I am crying
Same!
Me too 🥲☺️ I love it 🥰
Thought I was the only one. Just balling
Me too 🥺
Same. I don't even know why.
She still looks the same!!! Iconic!
Cinderella walked so Bridgerton could run lol but fr Brandy is a timeless beauty
Dude...
Yooooo!!!!!! 🙌🏾💪🏾🔥🔥
She really is
That's why I watched Bridgerton. Bc it reminded me of Cinderella
😝
I hope everyone approves the replica gown I made for her, it was and honor to build such a beautiful piece for an iconic Cinderella!
U did amazing man.
It is gorgeous!
Yessss, beautiful dress!
shall I hazard to say it looked even better than the original? :)
I was absolutely gorgeous and you're so talented!
The fact that Brandy hasn’t aged a bit is truly magical #blackdontcrack
Her voice matured so beautifully! It’s so rich and sultry! Before her voice was sweet and gentle! _The_ vocal Bible! Her phrasing, runs, adlibs and INTONATION!
Kids for the past two generations don’t know how big a deal Brandy was. She was America’s sweetheart!
Still is if you ask me.
Black america
In the black community, we know so. It hasn't been that long either.
She still is a big deal!!
She was big in late 90s. The good ole days now all we have is beyonce telling us to bow down. Ugh
Just cried through this three times in a row. I am so glad this exists.

Would be my dream to i loved this cinderella version
Yep
For all the children that were glued to the tv that Sunday night in '97. Brandy we treasure you. Thank you Toddrick❤
That was definitely me, I was so happy watching it then and now❤️
That was me too ❤
I mean GLUED! OK?!

If only Whitney and Natalie were still here to be in this. Rest in power, queens.

Neither does her voice

Brandy's voice is clear as crystal.
I can tell that Brandy is absolutely living in this, like this moment has been waiting for her and she is killing it. I love everything about this, thank you Todrick for putting this together
Gave me life to see it be these two
Brandy has been long over due for something like this. I mean she is Cinderella too
I love that Todrick is always giving Brandy her flowers!!!
There’s lots of comments on brandy not ageing but can we talk about Bernadette Peters!? THE WOMAN IS IN HER 70s AND LOOKS THE SAME AS SHE DID IN HER MID 40s!!!!
Yes! She’s stunning!
We don't need to address the Broadway Queen herself! She knows. We know. She knows we know. Period.
Girl YASSSSSS!!!! She looks absolutely stunning. And I loved me some Bernadette Peters, dating back to her playing in the Jerk with Steve Martin. She's awesome.

Another vampire 😂😂😂
Cuz y'all don't age
Lmaoooo you wild. Another vampire 🤣🤣
A VAMPIRE INDEED
I personally think she looks better
I remember as a little girl wanting so much to be like Brandy. Cinderella didn't want to be a princess, she wanted to be treated with kindness and respect! That always stayed with me.
This movie was so important as a little black girl. Brandy is definitely an icon
So right!
Right? I agree

Of course Brandy was everything but the callbacks to the other cast members had me tearing up. Great job Todrick!
Me too!! Seeing the others was wonderful! So sad we lost Natalie and Whitney 😭

It’s upsetting me and my homegirls
....so go watch the full original musical? It’s 90minutes and is on D+ and TH-cam
Toddrick is absolutely amazing for reintroducing Black Cinderella. Brandy is giving full R&B soul version of "In my own little corner"
This movie was so underrated like honestly that version and ever after were my favorite renditions of Cinderella
Man you gotta see brandy being more regal then any Disney princess
Brandy looks amazing so mature. Her voice is more controlled. Professional expressions are so adult like so much better. You go Brandy
She wore her original dress and the hair, makeup is everything! She’s even more beautiful!
I didn’t realize it’s was it’s was from the movie
That's not the same dress from the movie. it was a lighter blue and had crystal bead strands
The dress is not the same... Todrick had this one made for her!!
It was a very different tiara and the dress was more a re-creation. I'm pretty sure that's not the same hairstyle.
Rest In Peace Whitney Houston & Natalie Desselle-Reid
Was she mentioned? Natalie?
Omg !!!! Yass I wish they were both alive to sing with them on this 🙏🏾
😢😢😢😢😢😢
Truly missing them both!
I didn't even know she died in 2020 :( so sad
the reunion I didn’t know would happen, the Disney dance sequences I adore, the DRESS, THE VOCALS 😭✊🏽💙🔥
Right? I am crying. This made me so emotional because I still remember waiting for this to premiere on tv when I was a child. 😭
Yes the dress omg 👗 the vocals 🙏🏽🙌🏽
It's wild, Brandy has not aged a day!
She’s just as beautiful as ever!
Some of the younger folk don’t understand how lit this was back in the 90s
It was something we all waited for weeks for in anticipation! Remember all those promo ads?!
Things were so hype on ABC back then.
Right??!!! It was so amazing and magical to see!!! I remember seeing the premiere like it was yesterday. I was so excited 😂😂🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Im an early 2000's kid and even i know what youre talking about.

How can anyone give this a thumbs down like Brandy being the first black Cinderella is iconic.
Exactly. Just some haters
I think the hate goes towards Todrick and not Brandy
Maybe the other cast singing? I mean I didn't mind it since it was still nostalgic
That's why they hit the thumbs down.. they feel like it shouldn't be a black Cinderella
@@justinshuler4280 which is pretty stupid that movie was iconic
I was unable to get through this without crying whilst singing along! This movie gave me some of the best moments of my childhood!

@@MsGigglesluv this whole video is just a masterpiece!!😭

This isn't his only song with brandy in it
That tone and elegant beauty in her voice when she enters the ballroom is unmatched! I swear Brandy has gold down in her throat. She is just amazing..!
You can see in Bran's facial expressions, she's really enjoying herself. I like how she plays up the theatrics, brilliant!
I will say it until I am dead and gone, Brandy is my forever Cinderella.
Brandy is stunning like she’s not aging
This is call "Living your best Life". He's literally singing with Cinderella.
People will never understand how it felt as a child to finally see yourself portrayed as a princess. It was magical, it was emotional, it was imperative. It changed my life.
Ive heard so much bullcrap over African American representation and why we have BET and other stupid arguments opposing our needs to be represented positively in American media. I've asked people who a famous black actor or black singer is and they dont know, but I know who Twiggy, Johnny Cash, Richard Gere and Betty White are is the issue.
Americas need to turn the victim into the villain is nauseating.
Yes for sure. It was magical
Okkkkkkkkkkk and at the time Brandy was our role model. To be honest just to watch this brought me back to my childhood where because of this movie we truly thought we could be or become anything our heart desired. It was a movie that well received by all...... And you couldn't hate because the singing was on point....
It’s played all the way out! They need to know we’re on to them and we’re over it and frankly bored of the villain propaganda to maintain low self esteem narcissistic psychopaths
STANDING OVATION!!!!
You won't believe how loud I screamed when Brandy turned that corner in her onesie. I was jumping with glee the whole video.
I pray todrick receives all his flowers NOW, he is so under-rated but creates so much magic.
AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
AHHHHHHHHH
