This girls voice is unmatched, hands down. It’s the ladies that have the raspy voice, that can sannnnnggggggg, ok! Think about it, Lauren Hill, Beyoncé, etc!!!!
I never fully appreciated this song as a teenager when it came out, but now oh man it's such a fantastic piece...To anyone who has ever been in love with a distant/emotionally unavailable person this is so relatable and hits the nail on the head for how you want to be the one to show them true love and heal their loneliness, but alas, the problem lies within them and only they can fill their own void....
I just listened to the original version and (though still ❤ it) she sounds FANTASTIC! I mean her voice is stronger and smooth. I see you Brandy, I see you!😉❤️
OMG how is she still so gorgeous. I've legit loved this girl since the 90's. If I had to choose between her or Alicia Keys I would have no idea which way to go! (Like that would ever happen, lol)
Almost made you love me Almost made you cry Almost made you happy, babe Didn't I? Didn't I? You almost had me thinking You were turned around But everybody knows Almost doesn't count Almost heard you saying You were finally free What was always missing for you, babe You found it in me But you can't get to Heaven Half off the ground Everybody knows Almost doesn't count I can't keep on loving you One foot outside the door I hear a funny hesitation Of a heart that's never really sure Can't keep on trying If you're looking for more Than all that I could give you Than what you came here for Gonna find me somebody Not afraid to let go Want a no-doubt-be-there kind of man You came real close But every time you built me up You only let me down But everybody knows (everybody knows) Almost doesn't count (almost doesn't count) Ohh (Hey) Ooh, everybody knows (Hey) Yeah, yeah, yeah (Hey-yeah) (Hey) Can't keep on, baby (Hey) Can't keep on trying Everybody knows (everybody knows) Almost doesn't count I can't keep on loving (woo-woo) you One foot outside the door (I) I hear a funny hesitation (ooh) Of a heart that's never (never) really sure Can't keep on trying (no no) If you're looking for more Than all that I could give you Than what you came here for Maybe you'll be sorry Maybe you'll be cold Maybe you'll come running back, babe From the cruel, cruel world Almost convinced me You're gonna stick around But everybody knows (everybody knows) Almost doesn't count So maybe I'll be here Maybe I'll see you around That's the way it goes Almost doesn't count
Yes that’s really something how her voice power, finesse snd vocal control developed and improved so much over the years. Where most vocalists voice quality downgrades and weakens, Brandy’s did the opposite Lol. That’s amazing!!! Especially from her “Human” album and every album after...
One of my favorites by her. And absolutely LOVE this version 😩😩😍 I listen everyday. It’s so soothing to my spirit. Especially after being heartbroken 💔😭
Her doing this song now lile this is everything 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 i wish she could do all her old songs as this mature wo an she has become. This is absolutely beautiful ❤❤❤❤
That guitarist sounds heavenly
Give this woman a Tiny Desk already!
Silence when brandy is singing! Almost doesn't count is my top 5 brandy song. Her voice is like butter and strawberry jelly ❤
Please!!!!!
Tag them
Fun fact: the writers originally wrote this as a country song but Brandy transformed it into an R&B classic. She is THE vocal bible legend!
There is a country version
I didn't know that actually. That must have something to do with the fact that the video has a western cowgirl feel.
It’s actually a cover of an already recorded country song but yea Brandy put the magic on her version.
keke wyatt wrote this song
@@PedroHenrique-zr6je it was Shelly Peiken and Guy Roche who wrote it
Her voice sounds mature and well developed she got better with age it’s crazy 👑
Like a fine ass wine 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Literally why I search and like to listen to this version after I listen to the original ❤❤❤❤
@goddesssofmind88 Yeah me too and I love what Brandy the teenager did with it. But this is just amazing.
Yes it did but its even better than it was before
Baby this is this best live version of this song.
So Factual!!
No lies told
This girls voice is unmatched, hands down. It’s the ladies that have the raspy voice, that can sannnnnggggggg, ok! Think about it, Lauren Hill, Beyoncé, etc!!!!
don't forget Jazmine
And fantasia
And Mariah Carey lord 🔥
And Toni!!
TBoz
Her voice aged to perfection. I love this more mature version just as much as I loved when she first recorded this song.
She doesn't need more than this. The theatrics are great and work for other artists but THIS is all Brandy needs to win.
Right on.
I’m obsessed with the runs. She now means what she sings she matured quite well. Her voice 😢
As good as she performed it at 17, you can tell she has now lived it several times over.
Her voice has matured sooo much. I love it!!!!!!!
U explained it so perfectly. I love it
One of best voices we have ever encountered! Brandy is the true definition of a vocalist. Her tone is so warm and lush. She’s a smart singer.
It's the "I can't keep on loving you one foot outside the door"...that part.
Facts
The bridge lol
Brandy Can Sing The Bible Upside down! Hands 🙌Down,👇👏
This might be all time favorite version of this song.
I wish this version was downloadable
It is
Google searching on things like TH-cam to mp3 are your friends.
I never fully appreciated this song as a teenager when it came out, but now oh man it's such a fantastic piece...To anyone who has ever been in love with a distant/emotionally unavailable person this is so relatable and hits the nail on the head for how you want to be the one to show them true love and heal their loneliness, but alas, the problem lies within them and only they can fill their own void....
Bingo 🥺
I love this more than the old version! You did great Brandy!! 🥰
Miles better. The vocals, the arrangement, everything about it is a bliss.
Yessssssssss it sure has!!!! Wow, she has so much more power now and vocal crisp.... it’s greet!!
If you’re still bumping to this in 2022 then you have elite taste 🔥
January 2023
May 2024
July 2024❤
She deserves her flowers pronto. Good performance.
She sounds even better live🫶🏼
Brandy makes me want to be a better person.
The vocal bible ❤❤❤❤ got me through my heart break
It’s a crime how beautiful her voice is. Those vocals are so tight and flawlessly done. Masterclass!
No one can sing this song like her, her voice is so unique and unlike any other, i love her!
I just listened to the original version and (though still ❤ it) she sounds FANTASTIC! I mean her voice is stronger and smooth. I see you Brandy, I see you!😉❤️
OMG how is she still so gorgeous. I've legit loved this girl since the 90's. If I had to choose between her or Alicia Keys I would have no idea which way to go! (Like that would ever happen, lol)
I would.
Best vocal ever. Need her tiny desk
The meaning is so deep. We put in so much into every endeavor in this world. Unfortunately, almost never counts..
The ultimate "fed up" song ❤💎👑
I loved Brandy growing up. She’s still as beautiful as ever! Loved this album! Never say Never.
Honestly one of my fave albums period
Brandy is the Queen of RnB Period!
It’s something about brandy that makes me just release all my pain her voice is something else.
Wow, this woman is ageless. She looks fantastic.
Almost made you love me
Almost made you cry
Almost made you happy, babe
Didn't I? Didn't I?
You almost had me thinking
You were turned around
But everybody knows
Almost doesn't count
Almost heard you saying
You were finally free
What was always missing for you, babe
You found it in me
But you can't get to Heaven
Half off the ground
Everybody knows
Almost doesn't count
I can't keep on loving you
One foot outside the door
I hear a funny hesitation
Of a heart that's never really sure
Can't keep on trying
If you're looking for more
Than all that I could give you
Than what you came here for
Gonna find me somebody
Not afraid to let go
Want a no-doubt-be-there kind of man
You came real close
But every time you built me up
You only let me down
But everybody knows (everybody knows)
Almost doesn't count (almost doesn't count)
Ohh
(Hey) Ooh, everybody knows
(Hey) Yeah, yeah, yeah
(Hey-yeah)
(Hey) Can't keep on, baby
(Hey) Can't keep on trying
Everybody knows (everybody knows)
Almost doesn't count
I can't keep on loving (woo-woo) you
One foot outside the door
(I) I hear a funny hesitation (ooh)
Of a heart that's never (never) really sure
Can't keep on trying (no no)
If you're looking for more
Than all that I could give you
Than what you came here for
Maybe you'll be sorry
Maybe you'll be cold
Maybe you'll come running back, babe
From the cruel, cruel world
Almost convinced me
You're gonna stick around
But everybody knows (everybody knows)
Almost doesn't count
So maybe I'll be here
Maybe I'll see you around
That's the way it goes
Almost doesn't count
Wow
Even in 2023, it's still a hit🔥🔥
A timeless classic indeed!🎵🎶🎼🎵
This song had me broke down crying in tears she can really sing
02:30 what she did and that control cannot be matched 😩😍
I come here often just to listen to that part. It’s amazing 🙌🏿
She killed it sheesh
This song is iconic
This almost brought me to tears. The vocals and lyrics. Love you so much Brandy! 💐😍
She killed this 🎤
That version was BEAUTIFUL
The 90s and 00s and RnB was something else and this song is one of the best examples of that. Wish I could go back in time
If only I could give this double thumbs up.
Am literally crying 🥺 this is my healing song
this right here.....baybee....the flawlessness....B's voice is pressure unmatched!!!!! I have watched this 30xs...
I get goose bumps when I listen to this version!
While I do love and adore Monica and Jasmine Sullivan… it’s something about Brandy that makes me more captivated. Her voice and her delivery is FIRE
Brandy Murdered That!!! #QueenStatus 🖤🖤🖤💎✌🏿💋
Omgahhhh I literally can listen to her and this song ALL DAY! 😫😌😍😍😍😍😍😍
Why am I just now seeing this. This was one of the best live performances ever
Yes that’s really something how her voice power, finesse snd vocal control developed and improved so much over the years. Where most vocalists voice quality downgrades and weakens, Brandy’s did the opposite Lol. That’s amazing!!! Especially from her “Human” album and every album after...
I felt this performance coming from the heart❤ very good.
