This most recent Verzuz battle was one for the culture. Brandy & Monica fans showed up and showed out. There is so much to discuss, from their fashions, to their current place in music, to their impact on the culture. Let's discuss...
#verzuz #FunkyDineva #FunkyBunch
I heard somebody say Monica’s music is for the girls who was raised by their grandparents and Brandy’s music is for girls who couldn’t leave the front porch😂😩
😂😂😂😂
I can see it for that! I def couldn't leave the porch and I'm def Team Brandy. Her voice is unmatched!
This is all facts. 😇
Well Damn😂🤣
I'm weakkk
They are only 2 years apart... the difference is Monica was making grown lady music when she was 12 years old. 🤣
1 year apart. Brandy 1979 Monica 1980
JUSTICE stronger voice and still can’t sing better
LMAO She sho was. Monica was grown as hell at 14. She had that grown ass woman hairstyle in jr high. 😂
@@WvyGoddess Facts!!
@JUSTICE She is a belter for sure, but that doesn't make a stronger vocalist
I just loved Brandy's energy that night. Her smile was everything.
I know right
Definitely pure energy radiating from Brandy.
We could tell just how excited she was
She's at peace
Genuine
Her lying about her marriage and pregnancy is where it went left; however Brandy delivered great music after that (Full moon, Afrodisiac) Then the car accident really knocked her down but she came back with fire (Human released in 2008). She delivered yet again with 2Eleven, Brandy’s body of work is legendary. Not to take anything away from Monica because After the Storm is a classic album. Please go listen to Brandy’s catalog you’ll get a sense of who she is. Also let’s not forget to mention Brandy’s image was curated, Monica got to be herself. As artists I love them both PERIODT!
Thank you. I think her mom (since she was her manager) steered her wrong with lying about the marriage.
Although i feel like unwed motherhood shouldn't be glorified she was grown. What was the point in lying?
Yes but I literally fell off of brandy after full moon
I like your breakdown of both artists.
Monet Monroe poor you! You missing out
Lemme C. It’s not poor me it’s just not my taste which is fine what’s good for the goose might not be good for the gander you be blessed tho
I think people was expecting the vibe of Jill and Erykah, but they are friends. It was like two coworkers together. We cool but it's not a friendship. I got that. They gave each other compliments and that was fine.
It really felt forced🤨
I definitely felt the tension. They got some jabs off. I definitely caught the shade. But it was cordial not feindly
I agree. I wish we would stop insisting that women in the industry have to be friends. It’s unrealistic and their personalities don’t mesh. Like you said they are coworkers and there is nothing wrong with that.
@@taytay2296 They weren't forced, but both had their reservations. For me I wasn't expecting anything but good music and that's what I got. I did get a few dry jokes but that's it. The acknowledgement of each other's work was good for me.
@@icandie21 I said it felt forced. It didn't seem like that were enjoying each others company, just there to do their job. I enjoyed the show, so no complaints from me.
Brandy dont need that damm tea, she looked goodt!
Right smh
Exactly! Funky was wrong for that.. no better than straight males who try to make women feel that they have to look a certain way
Okay, well at least my eyes weren't playing tricks on me. Because I couldn't tell if her thighs were thicker or if it just looked that way because of her pants.
Right
Even if she gained a few pounds she not 16/17 anymore. Even though i know the comment was in jest, we have to be careful about how we speak about others, too many people suffering from body image issues as it is
She doesn’t has to fit to this generation she has her own style
I would buy Brandy tickets just to listen to Brandy sing “Full Moon” live. And I wouldn’t care if she sang every song on just that album alone. And her new album is 🔥
That Full Moon & Never Say Never is still fire.
Yesssss FULL MOON!!!
Yes B7 🔥
Speaking as a Los Angeles resident, Brandy singles old, middle and recent are playing on the radio depending on what station your on. Los Angeles loves Brandy she's iconic.
right. I was like where he been? she had made a come back in like 2012 or something. I listened to her new album the other day.
Yup they still play the 90’s brandy up to Full moon -“put it dwn” on the r&b stations here not to mention I wanna be dwn remix will still get a crowd boppin
I’m in Alabama and I most definitely heard her song off her newest album ft Daniel Caesar, on the radio this week!!!! I guess fans recognize 🤷🏾♀️
And her fit is very LA in some respects. That’s why some don’t “get it” but who “gets” a legend? Legends are indeed legendary. Michael, Prince, and Whitney (not comparing them to Brandy), were all “weird” or “misunderstood,” but ridiculously talented. Just my opinion.
I been to two sold out Brandy concerts in the past 2 years. She may not be your cup of tea, but Brandy is everything!!!
Thank you!
PERIOD
Jess Newton Brandy’s voice is just 🤯🥰🙏🏿
Agreed! And only real music fans will understand. Brandy has a huge advantage over Monica when it comes to vocals and creativity. I don’t understand how anyone would find Brandy’s music to be unrelatable. Personally, I don’t need to know all of your personal business for your music to resonate with me or for me to relate it to my personal experiences.
Brandy was suffering from bad depression for years. as well as, identity issues throughout her whole career. She she’s been speaking on it more now in recent interviews.
Reading the comments make me happy. Y’all done more homework than funky dineva
Yea he doesn't know what he is taking about with this one
@@solidice242
He doesn't smh
About the clothes. Brandy is on a transition. It’s called Growth. Being free. Feeling how you feel on the inside on the outside.
EdotS84 Right❣️
Who said that?
It wasn’t cute 🤷🏾♀️
@@sudukemsn I know right. They making all types of excuses for her looking like a hobo. She can do that earthy ish at home. She should have brought her A fashion game for Verzuz.
😂😂
Brandy was more EXPERIMENTAL and alternative at times. Monica’s music was more urban and mature. They represent two different experiences of black women.
Extremely well said!
I agree! Brandy is my bitch. I use to bump ger CD, in my first car😁😁
Yes so true
Brandy definitely did not lose any fans. She is still and will ALWAYS be that girl! And Brandy's "Human" album is one of her BEST albums. I urge anyone to listen to it if you haven't ...just cause it didn't go mainstream doesn't mean it wasn't a mf hit!
It is my favorite out of the catalog. The soundtrack of my life in 2008. I listen to it til this day
Never Say Never was Brandy's best album
Monica is the bitter one
@@itzjdub282 never say never was hands down the best album!
@@BClemons06 it was dam near perfect
I feel like Brandy is trying to find herself....she grew up with a strict (and maybe toxic) mother, who didn’t allow her figure out what she wanted for herself at a young age. I feel that’s why it was important for Brandy to fire her mother, so she could truly grow and find herself. If you consider the things people say they have an issue with Brandy about (I.e. lying about being married), her mother was the reason for that. It really takes time to unpack all of that childhood baggage ...I’m sure the journaling and poetry is all a part of her journey to self. Monica has been encouraged to express herself early on and that is why she is so confident in who she is.
Brandy found herself
@@chilezp She's still reading from that Moesha journal like a teen. She's still lost 😂
S. I. O. Ma’am 🤣😫😫😫🤣
@@pumpkin03 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@pumpkin03 , so journaling mean you are lost?
Right now, Brandy albums are dominating on iTunes and Monica’s singles are dominating. I think that’s the main difference between them. Monica has great singles, Brandy has great albums
Monica's albums are🔥
🗣🗣🗣🗣
Now DASSIT.
Brandy will and FOREVER will be Queen!!!
Actually if you look at all the albums Monica has 6 that are in the top 35 and Brandy has 5.
Now, I love them both but I do think people tend to think just because Monica isn’t more visible that she isn’t as good or doesn’t sell as well.
Brandy is 41 and looked GREAT
And Brandy's body is well put together. No nutraburst needed.
From a Gay man
😂😂😂😂😂
@@NkNk-vg8fc from anybody genius
That damn nutraburst scam nope
Ain't nobody drinking that mess for real no way 🤣🤣
They don’t call Brandy the voice bible for a reason! I enjoy Monica’s hits, but I enjoy Brandy’s albums!!! Get into that 💯💯
Her fans call her that
She is an AMAZiNG vocalist but vocal Bible HOW?
@Kyha States i was with you until you said Janet Jackson lol. Janet has a pleasant tone and all, but can't do runs, or anything above a whisper. She's rounds it out with her highly choreographed dancing though.
@@ogkush1916 Listen to B7
Brandy was our first Black Princess!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
They got more view than the VMA awards.💯💯 real music.
Wow are you serious that speak volumes like Brandy said let go on tour she know that will make money that be a sold out tour.
How about I didn't even know the VMA's were on
Andrea B sameeeeee lol

@@jasbourne94 yup ! Got over 5,000,000,000 internet impressions
Monica gave us 3hrs of I’m just here for the check 😴 Brandy was good vibes Period!!
Brandy was phoney asl
Brandy was very passive aggressive but I rather that than the mummy Monica acting like she ready ta go!
@Candace candace Did you talk to Swizz?
Brandy was fake
KWU KWU because she know brandy was fake
Brandy looked wealthy; Monica looked hood rich.
Like new money lol.
100%
PRTEEGRL 🤣🤣🤣
KWU KWU 😂😂😂
Of course. All the hood chicks in bad relationships love Monica and her struggle love music.
Brandy came upbeat with great energy and happy with herself. You can tell her growth, self healing and love for music was being displayed.
Agreed
Brandy can sell out a concert due to the fact she was missed and her new album is number 1 on the r&b chart. Brandy never lost her true fans. You can’t box brandy now she’s free spirited musician.
Excellent point. Brandy did speak about not being able to release music for a minute due to label issues. I’d still pay to hear just her first 3 albums. That’s my childhood right there.
That whole versuz brought back memories of the best part of my teens..
Brandy never lost me, I think she transitioned well. Her albums reflect that in my opinion.
I don’t think Brandy looked bad. Her thickness was in the right place. Not every woman has to look skinny and thin.
Brandy always struggled with her weight and image. She used to starve herself to look perfect so I’m glad to see her healthy.
Brandy’s body is beautiful
I think she looked good. Everyone can’t be skinny.
YES, thicker than a snicker!!! I want that jacket, I went boho sheek in my 40's too, Im only 3 year older than brandy,so that's my BITCH. I was bumping her in my 1st 🚗 🚘
lady4real75 exactly he is doing to much not all of are meant to be skinny your right
I think Brandy was dressed comfortable because she thought it would be more of a performance and wanted to be comfortable. Nonetheless, I loved Brandy’s outfit. Women don’t always have to wear what’s “popular”, we have many sides and that night Brandy chose her boho side.
Yes
Agreed! I loved her look! Felt genuine!
I agree. Also, I don't really care for all the logos on clothing. It seems like you're trying too hard.
Do you know how much money was on Brandy?? Haaa I loved her outfit
I liked Bran’s fit! I just wish it was a little more form fitting but otherwise, she was cute to me!
Funky- I don’t want to see a 43 year old singing I wanna be down...
5 minutes later
🗣🗣 I WANNA BE DOWNNNNNN
cut it out.
I would definitely pay money to see Brandy sing I wanna be down at 43. Not only is her music iconic and timeless but she always naturally remixes her old music with new melodies and other unique vocal expressions. Every time she sings it’s something new. She’s super talented. I love Brandy and I would definitely pay good money for a Brandy and Monica tour.
Brandy is an ICON! Moesha, Cinderella, her hair and natural look was everything to me growing up. Her new album shows her growth and honestly she's at her best! I feel like she's secure in who she is and B7 shows that. #teambrandy
We only talking about music
I never seen brandy natural hair shes been wearing braids since thea 😩
You said a whole word!! Yes!! 🙌🏾
Factz
@@Karma-ku7ph she posted it on instagram before...its just hair y'all
Brandy never lost me as a fan and never will.
thank you, ion know wtf he talkin about
Same!!
Same! ♥️ #4everBrandy Fan.
Me either
Yeah me either. She has consistently had albums and must be selling them or wouldn't be making them. I get the not knowing who she is as an adult, because she seems to have become more private as time goes on. She has had some relevant singles out lately, the one with Daniel Cesar being the one that comes to mind. If you are a fan, I think you would follow and know that. I agree I fill that if you don't know who Brandy is, you will not easily find out given her current marketing.
I feel Monica is more visible as an adult artist and currently more mainstream, but only because of shows like TI's and Tiny the family hustle. Anyways, love both ladies. Think both very talented. While competitors, really are apples and oranges when it comes to their type of music. Erykah badu vs. Jill Scott for example.... this pairing would also make a great verzuz... now that I'm thinking of it lol
Its the lack of Knowledge of Brandy stats, skills and world domination for me. But imma be over here. Quiet as its kept...Billboard wrote that Brandy won, and that's just from Billboard.
Okay!
Billboard always sides with the commercially successful though. They don't have their ears to the streets.
@@pumpkin03 Well that's common sense. This video was coming from a "street" standpoint. And it was lacking some thangs.
World domination LMAO!!!!
Yeah he kept saying I don't who she is, I don't know her style, I didn't know she had an album.... that just means you weren't checking for her or trying to know. She's been visible online.
Brandy gave high end fashion. Monica gave trendy. They both looked lovely.
Brandy looked a mess
@@firstname8348 I loved Brandy's jacket. Monica looked like a fake fendi purse.
Brandy rocked a turtleneck in August in ATL. Enough said. I love her though!
@@nikeshamorrow9444 Me too, but I like boho stuff
Brandy has always talked about her body dysmorphia for years. I’m thinking that’s why she was wearing clothes that were baggy because of insecurity. Shes that girl though! Her voice is incomparable ❤️
Yes. In an interview she stated that she was on a diet since she was a teen. She gained weight in recent years because she started to enjoy food and is happy about it.
Which l never understood. She had a bang on body in The Boy is Mine, but l think because of how they wanted to market her back then, she couldn't have curves, and that's when she started to look malnourished in Moesha.
@@mssan2016 yes, you're right! I thought she looked malnourished as well.
Yes! Brandy's rifts and melodies can not be compared. Her tone is sick! Some people just don't know good music or talent, I guess.
I disagree, Brandy can exist without Monica, and on some level’s Monica can without Brandy, but Brandy reached career heights Monica never will “it is what it is”... Also according to Billboard Brandy won 👀
Exactly
How you know what Monica will reach 🤔
Facts!!!!!
And that’s just that on that.
@@prestonpreston5233 no offense, but if she isn’t there by now, it’s unlikely to happen. She focused on CMurder right now
Brandy never lost me as a fan.
I don't know how people are confused about Brandy. She's been present on social medias and all even while not releasing music. She went on broadway and did her thing, talked about how she chose to gain weight because it felt good, she had some mental health concerns and breakdowns..which is all up and through the new album, which is amazing. But she never just vanished. idk maybe I'm just a fan. They're both amazing, though.. this battle was needed by so many of us.
Dyvon Unscripted yeah, I don’t get it either. She has been transparent.
And had acting rolls on The Game & Star
Melissa J exactly!
" Say You Will" was off of Afrodisiac. Nonetheless, Im a tremendous fan of Brandy. But I agreed with everything you said. And yes Brandy is in her OWN lane and doesnt need to fit in anywhere. And honestly, it doesnt matter if she doesnt fit in....Brandy's fans know her legacy and still stan for her 20 yrs later. 🥰🥰🥰
Channing Chavous THAT’S RIGHT WE KNOW B-ROCKA!!
Exactly
You betta say dat!!
Channing Chavous I would say I’m tremondous too but I don’t like anything she put out after Afrodisiac album. Maybe cuz I’m really old school and can’t stand modern day music but I checked out her last 3 albums and were underwhelmed. Her first 4 albums are SUPERB though! My favorite of all time is Never Say Never!
Well said 👍👍👍
No contest! They both won! I just love it and I’m glad they put differences aside and made this work! I really enjoyed it!
“For 45 dollars....75 dollars” I was about to say now you know them tickets be 60 and up for that mess😂😂😂
Brady’s “He Is” did it for me I love that song for life.
I definitely went to a sold out Brandy concert last year but proceed...
Exactly!
This!!
...was it at a theater?!?? Or apart of a festival or sumn??? It damn sure wasn’t a stadium I’m sure... brandy and Monica can approach stadium levels like Xscape did, ...if they tour together
Amen why everybody wanna dislike Brandy
Ms. B it was amazing. After 7 opened. Brandy live is a different experience
Brandy never stopped touring... we live in the UK and she still sells out huge venues over here 💁🏽♀️
BLOOP!
And she performs in the US a lot, he just doesn’t know his facts
Shiikane Tv😍 I'm patiently waiting for your new videos
She is not selling out huge venues , last year people made fun of her only like 30 people showed up in that Africa venue that was suppose to over 15k and only 30 people showed up.
Mark Minez that was literally years ago. Do your research before you try and slander someone.
That car accident and legal battles took her off her path. I think Versus could help her.
I absolutely love Brandy. She never lost me as fan. Where you been Dineva. 🤷🏾♀️
Brandy's weight is fine, everyone doesn't want to look like a string bean all their lives tf 🗣️🤷🏾♀️💁🏾♀️
I think people who are overweight will agree with you especially if it's hard for you to lose your weight.
kenya lloyd 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
kenya lloyd yes she’s a grown woman 👩🏽 she’s not a teeny bopper anymore
Hahaaa
Thank you!!!! Damn
Brandy has plenty of grown folks music on her albums. She's a whole vibe.
Yes, cause her NEVER SAY NEVER album sho nuff grown!! Hell the title alone, speaks real life!!
plentyyyyy thankuuuu
Hello somebody
Full moon and afrodisiac are very mature. I think when it comes to Monica she’s more urban , brandy on the other hand became more experimental and alternative with her material as she got older(which I love) but I understand why folk like dineva may not like it, the music industry is homogenized so anything that is out of the box sonically they won’t support and resist! It’s boils down to this do you wanna be an artist or a cash cow? We as black will only gravitate to traditional r&b or hip hop and sometimes we only follow radio lol...anything that sounds pushed to the next level we will not support and that’s a problem in my opinion.
I know that’s right. He seemingly tried B ROCKA
“Say you will,” is on Afrodisiac, not Full Moon.
Facts
Exactly 💯
🤦🏾♀️
Exactly which is why research was needed before putting Brandy in a box or saying she has no adult music...smh
Somebody said Brandy IS a genre.
Brandy has gotten to a point in her career where she’s not doing things the way people want her to. She’s not conforming anymore. She’s talked about this in interviews MANY times. Let’s get out of thinking ppl have to be a certain way to be accepted. Brandy has put in YEARS, she’s not looking for acceptance anymore. Go check out her interviews. I guess real fans know.
Exactly sometimes these things go a little too far I think if it wasn't for the celebrities what would they have to blog and talk about for someone who's been around that long and proven she still has it I don't understand what the issue is fashion or not she still a great singer
I agree
Team Brandy!!
Facts the real fans know and she has a loyal fan base
Unfortunately nobody is buying it either.
I think Brandy momma played a major part in who she is or to become. Sonya something else. Brandy is socially awkward and that’s okay.
BlackBerry Molasses yes ive bn saying it for yearsssss
I agree her mother trapped her in a box at the beginning of her career and she’s never really been able to break from it.
Yes especially when Brandy had her reality show and lied about being married. Her mother did more harm then good because she wanted her to have a goodie goodie image.
Agreed. I've said that over the years. Sonya TOLD Brandy who she was as opposed to allowing her to develop mature and figure it out for herself. Very domineering
I only saw Sonja on Love & Hip Hop Hollywood. And her interactions with Princess told me everything I needed to know.
Brandy's concerts are amazinggggg. I've traveled to see her and she sells out a crowd. I get how everyone isn't into her, but she's amazing. Yeah she's been away for 8 years so Monica has had more adult hits. Brandy's fans know who she is because we support and keep up with her. It is what it is. Both have bops and jams.
Dineva got y’all hot in these comments 😂
Brandy was having fun on the flip side I felt Monica’s negative energy thru my phone. I’m not saying she’s a negative person but she damn sure didn’t want to be there at all.
Girl shut up she was being herself you can watch any interview from back in the day that’s her personality y’all always want people to act how y’all want them to act
She definitely looked annoyed with Brandy but Brandy was having the best time ever lol
L m then I stand corrected she is just a negative person Thanks for the clarification ❤️
She's not negative, she's real laid back and down to earth but she's just not her for Brandy's fake image, acting like she's mother Theresa knowing she's not
Talking bout negative and brandy is a whole murderer and was trying to be the victim in that incident also y’all are really crazy
Brandy currently has a #1 album on the R & B charts 💅🏾
Bayyybayy said that
Because of verzuz or somebody actually went and purchased her new Album?
PrettyBrnEyez 87, she was #1 BEFORE the Verzuz concert!
.....alrigggght
KENYA MOORE in Our hearts of course she will always be.💕
"Just because it's expensive doesn't mean it looks good" should have been used regarding Monica's winter outfit. That Fendi fit was 🚮
😂😂😂😂 I thought I was the only one! What am I missing? Just bc it's Fendi don't mean it was fashion!
@@msladysofie looking like a bootlegg MJB impersonator, that shit was weak af.
@mz.Bossy C IKYFL!!!!! Foreal?!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
It was the car accident and the whole pregnancy thing that changed Brandy
Dineva factually you’re mistaken. Brandy has been touring over the years around the world by herself and at just as big if not bigger venues than Monica. That’s not shade because they both are doing well, but brandy has done broadway, touring in the states and internationally, TV roles etc.
Dineva is accurate. Brandy's star declined after the year 2000. She was not selling like she did in 1996 by 2005. It's okay to like an artist & acknowledge that only their core fan base still rode with them.
@@pumpkin03 You're wrong too
Facts on facts Brandy has hits in adulthood... she may not have hits in dahood Monica got that 😳
He’s addressed that. But MUSICALLY Monica is more relevant in her older years
@@Bih1stOfAll You can look at the record sales from 1994 - 2005 & see her sales visibly declined. Her core base was still rocking with her though.
This is how I see it: I luv luv luv Monica's vocal abilities. BayBay she didn't need none of Miss Jan's classes Monica can SANG ok duly noted
BUT Monica was 12 singin about grown woman problems that required Brown Liquor. No tea no shade I could NOT relate. It was a bop or whatever but.....
Now Brandy Chile OH I got my whole life. I could relate to everything she sang. Different vibe.
Listen Brandy music was for the relationship you WANTED
Monica's music was for the relationship you HAD.
Luv them both. The culture won!
Well said!
You didn't lie though sis.
Yessssssss. Perfectly said
THAT PART
That is a PERFECT description of their styles!!
Brandys fans understands her music style and who she is. If you don’t then you’re not really a fan.
I will acknowledge I'm not a fan. I don't own a Brandy album. I had all Aaliyah's, and 3 of Mo's. But it doesn't take away the fact B can sing her face off! She just didn't move me as hard. But I loved the songs that dropped and the album bangers my roommates played. Hint Angel in Disguise. That's why I dont speak on B because I'm not a fan, so I don't know her style, her personality.
I loved their duet together
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 yeah it’s Brandy for me. She and I are a year apart and her music was my childhood and coming of age. I’m a true fan. #BsideCrew
There can’t be one without the other?! Quiet as it’s kept... if it wasn’t for the Norwood’s there would be no Kardashians
And I THANK U👏👏👏
True tea. Very true tea. Ray J needs to get his 10%.
@Rjlin Kyles You're 10 months delayed sis...we've moved on😒
Brandy is a legend and an icon.
Baby had she'd played Impossible with Whitney Houston from Cinderella, game over.
It was a snoozefest and Monica came off uninterested but had all the energy behind the scenes. Brandy won off the strength she tried to get Monica to open up. That would have been a good time for them to address the issues they had.
@JUSTICE Then neither is Monica.
@@DeeLishish0991 #Bloop #TellIt
Brandy was America’s so called sweetheart and her mom pushed it to a level that almost broke that girl...Her image was supposed to be so squeaky clean meanwhile she was no different from the rest of us that’s why I almost favored Monica because I related more to her personally and her music..Monica wasn’t fake pumping she was doing what a young girl did tried to figure it out making mistakes and making her way....
Flossy Childz Say it again for the ppl in the back!
That's why she was getting on Monica's AND MY last damn nerves. She STILL acts like she's Moesha and she's in her damn 40s. Are we really gonna sit here and pretend that Brandy is so squeaky clean that her 18 year old daughter can't hear the word HO🤔??? Plus, we've all heard what a mess she is in real life!!!
I looooovvvvvveeeeeddddd (and still LOVE) me some Monica!!! She is the GOAT!!!
Yesssss lord finally Someone gets it. Thank you Flossy Childz. You hit it nail on. She reminds me if Whitney. They want her with the good girl image and cant just be HER.
Right down to the fake marriage she had because she got pregnant when she was a whole adult by then. Whether it was her mom or her herself that squeaky clean image was pushing her and her career negatively which is why Q's comment of her career being front loaded made a whole lot of sense. She had her best years as a teen but once she was an adult people wanted something a little different. Monica still did "grown" music even though she was a teen. She wasn't making overtly grown music but she wasn't making music that catered to a young fan base.
You don’t know who Brandy is musically as an adult because every single album is a different sound. Monica makes one type of music and like you said, the sound plateaus. Brandy is an artist, Monica is a singer.
That part. 💯
Yep. Monica even said Brandy is a student of the arts. Not taking nothing away from Monica. But Brandy has always tried to go out her comfort zone musically. Her new album is proof of that. Which is why Monica music has been played more on R&B radio over the years. Because it's the same thing every album. LoL.HAHA
I think you need to do your research on Brandy because Brandy made hits as an adults. Brandy is a Global success. And her outfit looked good.
“Say you will” is from Afrodisiac.. Brandy’s 4th Album. I think Brandy’s fans know her lane and it is complex harmonies, complex voice ideas, intricate production and innovate ideas. She is a true artist
Thats what I said. Hes talking about monicas Gucci shoes being good adult monica music...when it came out a year after afrodisiac. He doesn't make any sense. Just a hater
Honeycomblife I LOVE funky Dineva and I don’t think he is being a hater. Lol I think he just doesn’t know Brandy’s music as well. He was pretty fair with all the other comments
@@otisfreeman5146 well idk who he is the algorithm put this up cuz i loved the verzuz event. But he ain't even cute to be talking about brandys looks. Shes beautiful & he not so much....
Its always people that look very blah talking about somebody. Definitely not subscribing.
Full Moon and Afrodisiac will ALWAYS be the Brandy I remember!!!!
Miss Ross are u feelin okay? 😂😂😂
Brandy ain’t lose no fans,YOU are not a fan and it’s cool. Just say that. I will gladly take my 29-year old behind to a Brandy concert and sing “I Wanna Be Down” & “Sittin Up In My Room” and her whole entire catalog including B7 her new album. 😉 don’t ever come for the legendary Brandy
(Singing) Dooownnnn ohhh oh yeah!
You said what you said but 3 of Brandy’s albums are in top 40 iTunes right now. Including her newest one at number 6. Only Monica’s first album charting at number 89. You might wanna redo this video. 🤷🏽♀️
Quickly!!!! Just delete and dont say nothing else... cause he missed the mark big time...
Tell em. We down for you Funky but your vids are becoming more biased
Yeah. I’m usually largely on the same page as Q, but this one wasn’t it. Yeah she’s been through some things, but Brandy is iconic.
Brandy has always been kinda left field even down to the music it’s way more experimental than Monica’s..it’s still R&B but she uses other genres and that can reflect in her style and the ppl who choose to follow her ..Brandy is the awkward creative black girl and Monica is the down the way hood chick ..they’re just not the same
They represented 2 different archetypes of what Black Girls were made of, from the upbringing to the style.
“I’m not gonna talk about these ladies outfits..... in length” LMFAOOOOO I SCREAMED
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Exactly!
Yes...
Same here !!!
Destroyed me😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂 I wish he did go in tho
Not accurate. Full moon, What About Us, Who Is She To You, Talk About Our Love, Right Here Departed, Long Distance , Put it Down, Wildest Dreams, It All Belongs To Me, and Love Again from her new album all made it to radio in Brandy’s adult years.
And “Say you will” is on Afrodisiac which is the album after Full Moon
Monica out here dressed like she was in an episode of Clueless.. Brandy looked like that auntie that you gotta explain to people before they meet her. I liked it though!
😂
Lol, no you didn't
@@cupcakebytheocean3998 I'm for real 😂😂😂
@KWU KWU yep ! 😂😂
Y’all act like 40 is old and decrepit, also people will always want to see there faves perform no matter how old they are
Thank you! Brandy was definitely still doing shows and selling them out prior to COVID. Also, Brandy has a HUGE fan base INTERNATIONALY.
Right!!!
Agreed.
👏😌
I don't get ageism because: Newsflash if you keep living which is a blessing, your ass will get OLD TOO! Maybe, I don't get it because am a Man. He's done. Ppl still go to see Janet and she's singing Control...when I was 17 and she sold out the Prudential Center, here in NJ in 2018! Have a seat Funky D!
Brandy did alot of TV and Movies, touring, Broadway, so that's what happened. Brandy is a triple threat!
I’m 43 and would definitely pay to see Brandy sing songs from my teens!! Brandy definitely still has her fans behind her. I like them both.
Why is it everyone first reaction to Q commenting on Brandy’s curves to tear down Monica for being slim...... you can defend another woman without tearing down the next........ make it make sense black people‼️
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Right✊✊
✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
Brandy looked fabulous ! slim doesn’t define the ideal image of beauty,
To me she looks better at this weight when she was super skinny bck in the day she looked sick
I didn't care for those pants. But Brandy always looks beautiful.
Although I didn't care for Brandy's outfit, she still looks beautiful and her body is still snatched.
Imma agree to disagree cuz Brandy aint lost me as a fan. Yall just stopped listening to her music after Full Moon. She had classic albums after that but imma head out! ✌🏾
Period.
I love Afrodisiac. Personally I think Monica makes ghetto music. I said what I said.
7/11 was a classic
Facts! We just been patiently waiting‼️
I agree with this! Brandy has enjoyed a nice, steady career with touring and music. She ain't never fell off
I disagree....Brandy fans know what she has been up to. She has a voice kissed by God and several quality albums and seems level headed and hasnt really been involved in any mess. I would go see Brandy any day over Monica and Monica was definitely jealous of Brandy back in the day. As far as this versuz battle... it was complete garbage compared to other battles. I needed them to get up sang and/or dance!!! This was a waste of 3 hours. Monica’s energy was horrible
Brandy was too busy being perfect that she didn’t have the ability to be a regular teen to adult. Most of us got the opportunity to fuck up and make real world mistakes while Brandy was being sheltered. That’s the difference between Brandy and Monica. She is the Vocal Bible however she was made to be perfection and that’s where Brandy because the awkward friend that you still love while Monica is the ghetto best friend next door.
Facts💯
Agreed
Brandy didn’t lose her fans... you were never a fan
THIS
Hello 🙏🏿
Say it again!
Amen!
Periodt...
Brandy has influenced the whole Industry ask Rihanna, Solange, Ariana Grande, coldplay, jazmine Sullivan, Chris Brown the list goes on....
That cover she did to Coldplays "magic" was everything
Exactly, He's clearly more of a Monica fan. None of the pop girls today lists Monica. But the city girls was rooting Monica last night LoL.HAHA. Brandy had hit songs and albums in the 2000s and 2010s. Put it down with Chris brown was all over the radio last decade. Plus her 4th album aphrodisiac inspired so many pop girls today. Him not knowing this shows he's more of a Monica fan.
Facts.. Cristina Aguilera
even said when she started her career and developing her sound she would only listen to Brandy!!!
They both have influenced the next generation
U betta say it 👐👏
You’re “of the opinion that Brandy isn’t selling out concerts”? Why not do a google search? You will find evidence to disprove that. This was a dishonest and ill informed video. Brandy went from pop icon to vocal blueprint.
It really was.
Right. Smh she just did huge shows in New Zealand and Australia right before everything shut down due to Covid 19.
I saw Brqndy in concert 3 years ago it sold out. I had front row seats. I waited since 13 to see Brandy...the city welcome her those pics are on her IG
“For the lover in you.. $45 ($75)” 🤣😂🤣
I lowkey think monica was jealous of Brandy’s success and personality when they were younger. A lot of girls from the hood don’t like that bubbly personality because they perceive it as being “fake”
.....and it needs to STOP!! I’m sick of “being real” to mean having a nonchalant and nasty attitudes from Black women (and men)!! I’m a black woman and hate this!! You can be a “street/hood” discerning person and still be friendly and not rude.
I agree
FACTS
You just summed it all up 💯
You might be right
I ain’t paying $65 to see Monica, but I would pay $65 to HEAR Brandy 🙏🏿 Her voice is TOP TIER 🥰
S C I’m not paying that to see Monica either.
Yes I would see brandy for sure
I saw Brandy live and I wasn't impressed at all. On record is a different experience in person and she's not a good performer.
@@GeorgieAna i have heard that i have seen monica before live in concert it was really good . I would pay to see monica before brandy .
@@GeorgieAna lies u can check youtube
Lmaoooooo when you started singing Monica songs I hollered!!😂😂😂😂😂
Brandy’s new album is B7! It’s amazing!!!
Brandy's voice is UNIQUE & UNMATCHED!! Her skill & talent is Amazing!! I feel so bad that while Sonja was trying to present an Overly polished version of Brandy to the world, it backfired, tarnished her reputation, and halted her career for a while. She could have a much larger body of work right now.
Period, the marriage scandal then accident derailed her
@@asktheglutenfreechef3072 Yes it did.
In reality...if they were at the same school Brandy and Monica would've never been friends. I personally feel like the industry made it awkward because of the individuality of the ladies. Its wasn't awkward to me they are just polar opposites. I relate to Monica more because she has always been the down girl. Brandy had to be proper because of so many other endeavors outside of music. Ultimately I appreciate both of them!!!
Well said!
Well said!
Love that analogy.
Brandy's vocal ranges are 💣💣💣
based on the comments, I don't even need to watch this vid cause it seems like Dineva don't know wtf he is talking about here...
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm sorry...Did Brandy not put out Put It Down, Departed, Long Distance, Wildest Dreams, FullMoon, Talk About Our Love??? All adult songs in my opinion. Also recently Borderline.
Exactly! He missed those songs and videos
Put It Down, Talk About Our Love, & Full Moon stays in heavy rotation in my household!! Them joints baaaaaanng.
Natosha Taylor I PLAY THEM WEEKLY!!!! The way put it down will have me gyrating! Lol
yea i feel like dinvea just dont know lol
The whole B7
This was epic. These queens had hit after hit after hit. I was present for the music and soooo happy they broke records.
It’s just a little weird that he says “I don’t know who Brandy is as an adult” but then acknowledges that she has a project he hasn’t listened to.
Am I the only one that thinks he should have listened to the project before he gave this critique? I mean isn’t it just like the most basic thing to do? Doesn’t it make the most sense in order to sound even remotely knowledgeable?
Just sayin.
nope but that's how all these bloggers are now ....love to tear down with no facts
WenNRome it didn’t sound like he tore her down at all. He gave her, her flowers and said how important she has been to the culture. At what point did he say anything remotely tearing her down?
He said he didn't know her as an adult because she lost some of her audience over the years, himself included and so he was no longer checking for her hence why he didn't know about her album or have an interest in her album even after hearing about it. His commentary was about the "battle" not a comparison of their current music, so i don't see the issue. I love Brandy and Monica. I feel like so many people want to pick sides, but they're so different which makes it easy to appreciate both of their contributions to true R&B music.
Well first off...this video was not a critique of her new album. This was solely about the versus situation. Him acknowledging not knowing about her adult life has NOTHING to do with her new album. He praised Brandy throughout this video, clearly you weren't listening.🙄🤷🏾♂️
Shawn McCoy Clearly you didn’t understand the point. Let’s try this again. The point was to acknowledge the fact that he mentioned her having a new album, did not listen to the album BUT, said we don’t know adult Brandy?
He hasn’t heard 211 from 2012 - Brandy was 34 when that album dropped.
It’s simple. Do your research. 🤷🏾♂️ Perhaps you just don’t like good research but I can’t help you with that. 😀
When Monica said " WE ARE NOT A GROUP!" 🤣🤣🤣
