brandy really was the blueprint. she had it all, hit songs, a tv show, her own doll, cosmetic campaigns..you simply couldn’t escape her. also, never say never is such a timeless album that still holds up now over 20 years later
Facts. “Full Moon” album is my favorite and is the blueprint for the new girls to learn riff and runs.
Absolutely, brandy is an icon.
Yb is the blueprint better
And she was a princess in a fairy tale movie. Not many can say they achieved all those things.
Say it again!!!
Brandy was everywhere and everything in the 90's. She had dolls and merch when at that time it was very rare for a black girls to have. I've always loved Brandy and they don't call her "The Vocal Bible" for nothing. Thank you honest for giving her her 💐 while she's here because she definitely was the 90's Pop blueprint!!!
Yb is everywhere and everything better
Britney was way more successful and prettier I've never even heard of her lol
@@kailewis7025 yb has more plaques than Midney Spears
@@derrickblack3929 bro their talking about the 90s not 2020s and brandy was the it girl of the 90s PERIOD
@@derrickblack3929 who the hell is yb
People love denying Brandy’s impact and try to downplay by any means, but people fail to realize she was a teenager getting so much notoriety as at a short amount of time. Her own TV show, brand endorsements, and starring alongside her idol Whitney Houston among other Black legends, she has done it all. Put some respect on her name.
Yup, Whitney and Diana Ross and sang with them as well as Chaka Khan
People love denying yb impact better
YAAAASSSS! They love putting her down like she wasn’t the it girl of the 90s. She was everywhere at the time. I’m glad people are starting to notice the hating lol. It was there in the 90s too, but she couldn’t be denied lol.
Her own community denied her impact. When she got pregnant, BET stopped promoting her and moved on to Beyoncé, Ashanti, Ciara, etc. Brandy said she wanted to be promoted but the Black networks didn't even listen to her.
@@voiceofreason2237 BET isn't a community 😭😂💀
The one thing brandy will always have that was so special to her is that she grew with her audience. Not only physically and visually but musically as well. We went from "Sitting up in my room" to "Afrodisiac".
thank you for recognising brandy’s impact. she’s so underrated and really deserves so much praise ❤
It shocks me as well! In school people compared Britney when she first came to Brandy! This lady was it! It’s a shame that her music legacy seemed to get overshadowed when Aliyah passed and Beyoncé began doing solo stufff! Her last big album pushed received a lot of fans cheering. I hate the fact that MTV sort of ignored Brandy at this time! Her career, imho, is similiar to Christina Aguerla and Mya in my book.
Shes a trendsetter as well. So many black girls rocked braids in the 90s because of Brandy! And so many classics
Her “Never Say Never” album is one of the best albums from the 90’s
preach!! and one of my fav albums from her 🌈🎉✨
Yes!! My favorite album by Brandy
Favorite Songs:
Angel In Disguise
Happy
Have You Ever
Almost Doesn't Count
The Boy Is Mine
Tomorrow
Righttt I just love "Angel in disguise", "Happy" and "Tomorrow" sm
Love me some Brandy for sure. Thank you for doing a video on her. She really certainly rules the 90s along with Monica and Aaliyah. Girl had her own tv show, the first black Cinderella, and was even the spokesperson of Covergirl.
Yesss!
I was born in the early 90s so I sort of missed the Brandi era. She was truly amazing , I wish she would make a comeback
Triple threats like this inspired me so much as a kid. It’s like I was really listening to Brandy, Queen Latifah, and Janet Jackson in the car and then turning the TV on and ALSO seeing them on Moesha, Living Single, and Poetic Justice. Growing during this time was absolutely exquisite😭❤️ I am so thankful for all the creative energy behind this era.
There are reason why they call her "The Vocal Bible". Complete legend 😇❤
brandy changed music and pop culture forever. her layering is untouchable and the way never say never could come out right now and still be fresh. its timeless. and then having never say never be the pre curser to full moon the album that will be the vocal rnb album bible that will changed music again. she and her raspy but yet smooth tone is also untouchable. she was the the main girl before there was a Britney. she had dolls and everything. and Cinderella and her own show?? like cmon. this woman is a legend.
The fact they copied Brandies image and used it on Britney. Britney skyrocketed globally too because of it, what helped as well was her whiteness. Not many like to talk about it though. This isn’t the first time the image of a Black Woman was copied and pasted onto a white woman.
brandy is a living legend! her vocals, style....everything ✨
It really is a shame most people know Brandy for the car crash incident than any of the music she made during her prime. That one moment practically got her Janet Jackson’d from popular culture. Yet her influence is undeniable, and I hope she finds a way to a comeback in the future.
It was the whole marriage thing that started people to side eyeing her. And with Monica being so "real" 🙄 and already pitted up against brandy, it was easy for people to switch up on her. The accident was the nail in the coffin. Not to mention because of all this, she stayed out the public eye to try to avoid the criticism. Not putting out music consistently allowed people to hang on to her tragedies.
I love Brandy SOO much, as much as i love her 90s music, her early and late 2000s music is soo😩- I just love her
Brandy and Mariah ruled the 90s imo
Mariah is the 90s literally
I not only loved her music but also Moesha. Girl had her own music career, her own show, even got her brother a career. This girl was the it girl of the 90s. I am happy she and Monica are still friends today.
Let's also note that she was the first black Cinderella for Disney which opened the door for Christiana Aguilera to perfrom on the Mulan Soundtrack
Brandy really was the blueprint
I literally can’t get started on the iconic Brandy. We honestly don’t deserve her she is beyond an icon she is truly one of the most gifted vocalist we will ever have she is the definition of a star ❤️
Brandy is and always be a legend! She really had a big impact at that time,you have to give her credit,she deserves her flowers. Even Britney and Christina were influence by her.
Wooh Brandy is so talented. Love that girl. So glad she was my Cinderella. So glad I got to grow up with her.
I get why people were so offended when Jack didn’t know RayJ and Brandy were siblings. People don’t play about Brandy no more and she deserves her flowers.
Jack is a culture vulture.
Brandy is still making music her TH-cam channel is still active and now she's a Legend...💀😎🤍🌍
We know Brandy was a voice of the 90s. She needs her flowers too.
This video essay is NEEDED. Brandy does not get her flowers. She is a living legend who has opened up doors for so many people in the business. 💐💐💐
We need a Black Video Essayist that has like 45 to 1-30 minutes that does analysis on Black Artist impact, legacy, etc. I think Black Music Archive is that, but they’re not so active. I would be so OBSESSED with that channel. Brandy could be in it. 😩😍
Brandy, Monica, and Aaliyah are the R&B holy trinity. Aaliyah gets her props as she should may she Rest In Peace. But brandy and Monica never get there flowers and it’s sad.
I’ve been seeing Brandy get her flowers though? Monica however, not so much. She needs to be given her flowers.
@@bmwjourdandunngoddess6024 THIS!!!
Never Say Never, Full Moon and Afrodisiac are her BEST ALBUMS of her discography.
All the songs of these albums are BOPS and INFLUENTIAL still to this day.
She is a FORCE to be reckoned with and i’m SO GLADLY to be a fan of hers❤❤ p.s. Love your content and love from me🥰
a fan of this page and her this was really great to watch. love black women getting their flowers.
Brandy was the epitome of Actress/Singer takeover for a Teen Star. Her range of success needs to be studied from that era. Literally a Giant foreshadow for the next 10 to 15 years.
I was born in 97 however my babysitter growing up was a HUGE brandy Stan and she introduced me to her music she has always been an icon!
She is extremely overlooked when it comes to her contributions to teen pop. However I believe her contributions to R&B are much stronger. Great video honest!
✨Angel in Disguise✨: easily one of the most UNIQUE rnb songs of all time.
Favorite song 💕
Exactly it is that amazing
Yes I love that song
And Brandy is still doing her thing today! She is my all time favorite!
Brandy monica aaliyah was the Powerpuff girls of the 90's
Brandy-Bubbles
Aaliyah-Blossom
Monica-Buttercup
To me Never Say Never is one of the best R&B albums ever made and should get a lot more recognition
Brandy's idols were Aaliyah and Whitney....Brandy wanted to dress like Aaliyah on her debut, but her label was against it. Also her Never say Never album was inspired by Aaliyah's album One In A Million.
When I first listened to Never Say Never it reminded me of Aaliyah’s OIAM. Everything from the staccato production to the smoothly minimal yet soulful vocals was the same.
Even Destiny’s Child has a similar sound on their sophomore LP. Every rnb/pop girl from the late 90s-early 00s were trying to recreate Aaliyah and Timbaland’s signature sound ❤
@@noranjoku7651 The Writtings on The Wall sounds nothing like One in A Million though. Timbaland did produced Destiny's Child Get on the bus for the Why do Fools fall in love soundrack and Aaliyah even helped choreographed the music video with Fatima Robinson tho. Timbaland also produced the Say My Name remix. But the sound of TWOTW had that Shakes' peare/Kandi Burruss (So Good, Bills bills bills, Bug A Boo, Hey Ladies...) and they wrote and produced No Scrubs for TLC as well as DarkChild sound (Say My Name) who had just come out of the massive success of Never Say Never
I enjoy these albums still
I don’t know if it’s just me, but I can’t get over the similarity between Oops I Did It Again, and Baby by Brandy. I feel like those “yeahs” in Oops were definitely inspired by the “yeahs” in Baby by Brandy.
Childhood idol and role model. 🤗
I agree that The Boy is Mine is the best female collab ever, it was like a perfect storm.
And Lady Marmalade with Christina, Lil Kim, Mya and Pink
Full Moon is like the greatest album ever made, I cried and was literally left speechless the first time listened to it. It's R&B-Pop PERFECTION
Thank U Honest So Much 4 making this Brandy video ... I'm so happy.... u really did read my comments 😁😀😃😊🤩
Brandy was really the IT girl😍
Thank you for acknowledging her impact, she’s been in such a career renaissance lately and she’s deserving of it 💛
Thanks for making this video. Im a 2000s kid but Ive been recently been exploring alot of the 90s acts my parents/older siblings grew up on and brandy is one of my all time favourites now (I even watched some of moesha). Her 90s catalouge is some of the best of that era imo and also feel that her 2000s afrodisiac era is fairly underrated
Yay 😆 Thank U Honest for making a video about The Vocal Bible & Highlight her impact on the culture & industry 🫶🏾💕
Brandy is my favorite version of the Grimm Brothers Cinderella!
Brandy and Britney was at the top of the game with their dolls an music ...that's iconic brandy holds a high standard in my eyes she acted with divas like Diana Ross an Whitney Houston an more
I Was Just Talking To Myself About This! Brandy LITERALLY Set The Stage And People Don’t Give Her The Credit She TRULY Deserves! There Will Always Be Black Female Names In Entertainment That Have Broken The Genre And Race Barriers In Music And Entertainment… For The 60s, It Was Dionne Warwick And Diahann Carroll. For The 70s, It Was Diana Ross And Aretha Franklin. For The 80s, It Was Whitney Houston And For The 90s, It Was Brandy! I Just Can’t Express Enough, My Immense Admiration And Respect For Brandy And Her Trailblazing Career As Well As The Mountainous Role That Black Women Have Played In Bringing Representation To Mainstream Media; And They Are Still Doing It Today!!
Not many Black Woman are given their credit either and it saddens me so much. So many artist steal their material and is given credit instead, even if a BLK Artist did it first. Like Jody Watley and Madonna.
I haven't actually ransacked her discography and I'm surprised. On my to-do list
Brandy was the Pop girls Blueprint!!!
This was so on point and on time. It’s funny because I literally just listened to Never Say Never the day before this posted. I grew up having Brandy and Aaliyah as my two favorites and crushes in middle school and high school. Hope you can do more on them both and Monica.
Brandy is incredibly talented. As far as her newer stuff I feel like two eleven and b7 were great, but never got the fan base I feel they deserve.
Thank you so much for honoring my idol. I’d also like to mention though Dallas is incredible, he likes to take credit for producing the Boy Is Mine when actuality all he did was record Monica’s vocals. He had nothing to do with the production of the song. That’s just a little “tid-bit” I’d like to add lol
Just as I'm entering my hugeeee brandy phase you upload this!!
I've only recently found this channel and the content is so what I'm interested in!! Your videos are amazing, keep up the fantastic work!! 💙
Finalllyyyy I’ve been waiting for this video 😭
I remember listening to never say never as a teenager on repeat thinking this is the best album ever
Monica had 3 number ones in 98. Brandy and Monica DOMINATED that year.
Brandy, Aaliyah and Monica, the holy trinity of the it black girls in the 90s
When I was younger.. at the time of Never Say Never release.. I was the girl who would listen to only the tracks she liked on an album.. not the entire thing. When never say never came out.. that all changed.... obviously.. certain songs on Never Say Never are better than others.. but what I'm saying is.. I loved it for more than just it's radio singles.. really enjoyed hearing the entire thing.
There are a lot of songs on Never Say Never that deserve more credit than they get. Not going to get into a whole list.. but I will give you three examples. The title track Never Say Never.. happy and angel in disguise.. they definitely deserve more credit than they get. Like you said Brandy deserves more credit in general. She's the reason I fell in love with music.
I could not agree with your open statement more! She never got the recognition she deserved in the 90s. Always loved her.. but when never say never came out.. I guess that's when you could say I became obsessed! My entire room as a young girl and teenager was covered in posters of her. Not in a creepy way I promise! She was just everything that I wanted to grow up and be... she was so inspirational to me. When Never Say Never first came out.. I went into a mall CD store called the wall.. does anyone remember that store? Eventually the store became FYE. Anyway.. I went in the store and I was telling the sales guy about how much I love Brandy! My stepmother was with me at the time.. I can remember the big Never Say Never Album cover promotional poster hanging above a display of her Never Say Never album. My stepmother could tell I really wanted it.. but she knew I wouldn't speak up and ask if it was for sale.. so she spoke for me. The guy said unfortunately.. we don't sell the album promotional posters that hang above the CD racks. He said those posters are intended for the store to promote an album not available to the public.. I felt a bit disappointed.. but I understood. We started to leave.. the guy called out wait a minute! Listen I will give you this poster.. even though I'm not supposed to. A big smile came on my face and I thanked him over and over again! Pretty sure we offered to pay for it.. but he said no. He said he could tell that I really wanted it and I really loved her.. he said the smile on my face made his day. Thanks again guy from the no longer existent CD store.. you were awesome!
Brandy, Halle Bailey sand Whitney Houston are my favorite vocalist of all time.
Ew
Halle Bailey is definitely special and I can see her following in their footsteps ✨
brandy truly deserves her flowers. she is the blueprint for many teen idols in the 90s and even after. I can hear her influence when Iisten to Ariana grande and tori Kelly
Especially Ariana! Ariana also used to talk about Brandy really early in her career on social media, @ her and everything.
I love you and your channel, THANKS A LOT for making videos about Black culture as well. You're a gem. ❤️💗💖😍😘💕💞
Such an amazing talent. I love her and her music
Most influential r&b and pop artist of her time.
The fact that never say never is diamond now is crazy
16x Diamond🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@therisright Dang!
@@therisright No it's not. It's 16 times Platinum not diamond
Never Say Never has not been certified diamond in the US
@@angechrisman1694 it’s 10x diamond in the US so it’s basically diamond
I was listening to her today 😁
Brandy, Robyn, Monica, and Aaliyah are the blueprints of the 1990s teen Pop and R&B music. Aaliyah came out in 1993 while Brandy, Robyn and Monica came out in 1994. 🤗🤗💞💞👌👌
Who's robyn
@@quidddaboss1061 Robyn is a Swedish singer. Before Britney and Christina there was her who came out in 1994. She's the one who sang the famous song Dancing on My Own in 2010 which covered by Calum Scott oh Britain's Got Talent. Facts. She was the blueprint of teen pop music back in the 1990s. 💙💙👍👍👌👌
@@kevzsabz8253 Show Me Love and Do You know what it takes were bops
Yes Brandy deserves all her flowers! 💐 But while we are here, let's also show some love for Shanice Wilson and Tracie Spencer who came before her
Shanice is so beautiful.
What also doesn’t get talked about enough is how all the odds were stacked against Brandy. She was bullied, called ugly, said she’d never sell records and this girl went on to become one of the greatest vocalists of all time before she was 25!
Very nice video... you hit all the points.
Her impact is crazy 😮💨💙 love me some brandy
My favorite album by her never say never
Brandy is a legend, an ICON, and extremely underrated. Truly the vocal bible, she should be more decorated and acknowledged for her talents. I adore her. I stan!
Well done!!!
Her fashion is timeless... beautiful lady, charismatic and talented ♡♡♡♡♡♡
Fun fact i learned recently, John frusciante (guitarist for rhcp) has named her as one of his inspirations for his stuff on i think stadium arcadium? I'm a huge rhcp/ frusciante fan but also loved listening to brandy growing up lol so it was cool to think he was listening to the same stuff thinking it was amazing. He pulls from a lot of different sources. And she really was The It Girl of the 90s
Brandy is an icon and a legend. A list of (mostly) iconic albums she’s inspired:
Christina Aguilera
Baby One More Time
Baduizm
Good Girl Gone Bad
Yours Truly
Simply Deep
Stadium Arcadium
H.E.R
Oh please, Brandy didn't inspire Britney and Christina's debut albums. They were more of Janet and Whitney inspired.
@@voiceofreason2237 Yes she did Britney even said it herself that Brandy's album Never Say Never was inspired on her debut album
@@voiceofreason2237 do your RESEARCH!! They literally mentioned Brandy inspired their album
I think inspired a lot of Ariana’s work and branding image tbh.
She needs her props ❤
My love for Brandy 💜 She is the blueprint. Icon.
I loooooooooove her 🥰🥰🥰
And now damn near every younger artist vocally takes inspiration from her
"This industry was more like a different world... When it was just me, Monica, and Baby girl. Aaliyah, I never got to tell you how much you meant... I wish you and me both was sitting here working with Tim" Brandy on 'Should I Go' one of my favourite songs ❤️
She was my childhood! Especially as a young kid from Australia.
You know you've done something right when you find out Christina Aguilera was studying your vocals for her debut....I wish they would do something together. Stripped and Never say Never are the vocal bibles of the late 90s and early 00s for me
Stripped is no vocal bible TF
I would like for you to do a video on how Mariah Carey influenced and impacted rnb and just being a vocalist in general
My forever faveeeeeeeeeee
you should do a video about Sade an underrated legend
Brandy is that girl!! Full Moon is another
great body of work
Cinderella is still one of the all-time greats waiting on you Disney Plus
I love Brandy 💕
The thing is.... Her songs in the 90s were so refined , it didnt sound like 'teen' music. The 3 (Monica,Brandy,Aaliyah) sounded like veterans.
Britney and Christina sounds like teens.
LIVING LEGEND
Oh, damn. I was number want to like and number one comment I love everything u do
Love me some brandy 💕
this is ALL FAX FAX FAX. she is in the top 5 in vocal runs, riffs, and layering vocals ever.
her 2002 album full moon is in the top 10 rnb albums EVER. no skips and tells a story.
Man, how i LOVE never say never...
As a late 90s kid it's interesting to learn this because Britney and Christina were huge in our time
All I can say after this video is:
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
❤❤❤
The vocal BIBLE 💅
