LOVE IT!!!!! WELCOME BACK BRANDY

i love love love her voice, have for years! so glad she’s back.

I love B rocka

This girl right here is FIYAH!!!! She aint playin with the industry at all! I love her to death and that will never change but honestly this song is shittin on every song out there now! Her vocals OMG I’m at a lost for words!!!!!! Brandy 08′!!!!

not really feeling it to much–I liked the List song better but its good to hear B-rocka is offically back

It’s ok. Unless she releases an accompanied KICK ASS video to go with this song, I don’t see this particular single doing all that well. It’s just my opinion. I will watch and wait for more released singles to see if I can be swayed. I’m just such a huge Brokenhearted fan, it will be hard for her to top that for me.

Cute picture! Brandy never disappoints-I like it!

I wanted to hip yall to something….

So, the producer must love ColdPlay (who doesn’t)

and decided to remix “The Scientist”

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3Kd7IGPyeg

Producers, come up with your own progressions, please, as this sh*t in my book is a blatant rip, esp since the MIDI files are downloadable from the internet

Underrated singer and I love the song. She is truly a great R&B artist

I LOVE IT… I LOVE IT… I LOVE IT…. ITS A POP SONG.. AND IM GLAD SHE WENT FOR THAT… THE PRODUCTION SOUNDS LIKE A MIXTURE OF THE NEVER SAY NEVER SOUND AND THE FULL MOON SOUND THAT DARKCHILD CREATED WITH HER.. ITS LIKE HE FUSED THE TOO… AND I LOVES IT…

AND IM GLAD SHE MADE A SONG THAT COULD APPEAL TO EVERYONE….

LOVESSS ME SOME B-ROCKA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THIS IS ONE OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF MY YEAR AND THE ALBUM IS SOON TO FOLLOW…. OOOOHHH YES!

I like it….I mean the beat is dynamic and her vocals are beautiful it’s just a little underwhelming…I’m not “in love” but I like it and regardless I’m buying the new CD if she puts joints like “Nodding Off” on their…I love raspy voiced Brandy…

~RKJ

@mofo
1 Brandy has already been a documented coldplay fan and she sampled them for her last CD.

2. As long as the original group is credited and more importantly getting that royalty check …no one reallys cares except for a few oversensitive coldplay fans.

3. hip hop, R&B and Rock and Alternative have always sample others ideas and material…this is nothing new, get over it.

OMG!!! HELL YEAH, BRANDY IS BACK!! I’VE ALWAYS RESPECTED AND ADMIRED HER AS AN ARTIST. YEP THIS IS GONNA BE HER YEAR 2 NEXT WIT CIARA. I’M BUYING LIKE 2 COPIES WHEN HER SHIT DROPS.

Welcome back Brandy how I have missed you and your music so much. Thanks Brian for the post as well. This single is definitely a very crossover mainstreamish type of single. I do not know how it will do on R&B radio but I definitely see this making the Hot 100 charts. She needs to place another single out as well with this one so she is definitely not slept one again. Very talented artist and I will always and forever be inspired cause her music is so different from what’s in but she keeps it current for those who are not musically inclined at all. New album drops November 4 I can’t wait.

It’s ok..
For me Brandy Brandy rocked it the most in her 1st 2 albums
Kinda like Aaliyah, nothing ever matched up to”Age ain’t nothing but a number”

Yes please get into Brandy, she is everything! She will be making her way back to where she was before. She is in a genre of her own and no one can take that away!

Jake Jacobs VI

I liked it, and I think she should release another single also along with this one, but i am glad that she is back none the less!

I am in awe of this single! It is like the breath of fresh air that I needed! Brandy’s voice is sooo melodic it gives me chills. This song is Record of the Year material. The production is crazy thanks to Rodney Jerkins who know how to produce Brandy like the back of his hand, the vocal arrangement is sick, runs are glorious, and overall the lyrics are just crazy! I can’t wait til November 4th when the album drops I just pray and hope everyone dosen’t sleep on this new project and I hope if you download the CD buy it also and support her project! She needs everyones support to reclaim her throne as the queen of R&B because she truly is!!! Love you Brandy!!!

Sounds like No Air.

it sounds okay-similar to her other stuff. i wonder what other producers she’s going to work with…i can hear her on a neptunes track

I LOVE HER SO SO MUCH. I JUST HATE THE WAY SHE PORTRAYS HER SONGS IN VIDEOS.YOU IMAGINE YOUR FAVORITE SONG TO THE PERFECT VIDEO AND WHEN IT DOESNT HAPPENED ITS DISAPPOINTING.HER LAST ALBUMS WAS MY FAVORITE.

Jerkins is a known bitter, he started off copying Teddy, then he took the Badboy r&b sound of Stevie J, J-Dub etc. Then he moved on to Timbaland, snatched his drum sounds and programming style basically ripped the guy off for a number of years. Now he’s moved on to Danja. I will say he has shown some innovation in the process, he just borrows to much.

On the Clutch….the only one that likes their songs is Brian.. OK.. Ice Box was hot, 4 Minutes was cool and the Freak Show joint on Brits album was cool.
And we all know Keri Hillson “borrows” a lot from Brandies vocal style (believe it ), But do we really need Brandy singing their disjointed songs ? NO
Stick with Lashawn and Rodney and make a “Brandy” album not an Atlanta producer and writer compilation project. We don’t need Brandy singing The Dreams songs,
or an album full of Tricky Stewart’s fake Danja Handz arpeggiator renditions. I wont buy the record if it full of left over Day 26 tracks or BMC piano loop tracks. And I like Johnta Austin but again Brandy has a sound and we don’t need her doing the Atlanta thing on this record. On the Cold Play thing Timbaland sampled the song Clocks on her last album, and she made a nice lil song out of it. I doubt Rodney needs Midi files to replay a cold play song theirs nothing complicated about any of their chord progressions and for the record they’re nothing but a U2 rip off themselves

Brandy can DO NO WRONG she ALWAYS was the best out or the “three” Monica, Aliyah(RIP) and she has an ORIGINAL voice..you cant trace her influences back to some singer from the 70’s or 80’s..that rare and one of the reasons why people love her so much.. Also the chick puts out SOLID albums..all of her albums even the last one were banging.

The Jury is still out

Sader

BRANDY IS BACK. U BETTA DO THA DAMN THING B-ROCK…I LOVE U!

@ I TALK, YOU LISTEN -

Valid, however…

1) Coldplay was not accredited according to her PRO (rights management), if brandy likes them so much then why no credit.

2) Rodney Jerkins produced this, not a beginner producer, RJ is tight as hell on the keys and in some of his ideas, so it upsets me when someone of his caliber does this. It is blatant. I just played both versions on the piano and added accents for the Brandy version, they are dead on, not cool in my book. RJ has always been a “creator”/”composer” in my book, but this knocks him down a little for me. But it seems that today, it is ok to give someone credit for piggybacking off of someone elses ideas - that in ColdPlay’s case means so much to them (look up the meaning behind the song). Ex. Kanye, makes good music, but to me, he is far from original (production wise - the beats the samples, etc.), and I find it hard to give him “composer” props. However, he still credits his source

3) Samples of other’s material, as you said, I’m O.K. with as long as credit is given, in this case it wasn’t.

With all said, I didn’t say the song was trash Just that I don’t like when people do that, and as I should have said prior, “not give credit”. Apologies for not making that clear.

I was a little weary of listening to this, but its actually pretty good…Welcome back Brandy

I loves ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@ All

Let me clarify even more jeez my fault…

In an era with “hit producers”, “quarter of a million dollar budgets”, “best R&B writers in the game”, I find blatant rips appalling. I’m not comparing the song to coldplay, it is the exact same just sped up with accents.

It upsets me as a person that listens to music from all corners of the world and of prior decades back to classical. When “composers” of yesteryears (Quincy is a prime example) “created” a song. He “created” a song. It was fresh, it was like “damn”. You know? The stuff he did for MJ - straight composition, that is a producer to me.

A lot of these “producers” that some think are at the top of the game often “rip” instead of “create”, it is a lack of musicianship in my book.

Once again, not saying the song sucks as Brandy did her thing, but the producers IMO disrespected another - if you are ok with that, cool, I’m not, thats all.

BRANDY IS BACK!!! Love her voice! Love the song!!! I really hope this song does very well because she deserves it!

I’m soo glad Brandy is back!!! I will definitely support her as always.

i know some of u guys are gonnna be kinda skeptical and too sure about this one..but just give it a few more listens..i can see this topping the charts…it reminds me of how ppl felt about a.keys “no one” and look what that turnt out to be….btw brandy is lookin really fierce these days..

Love Brandy, good luck with the new album.

screaming ..i’ve been waiting so long for this day

I love it I am so excited about Brandy return to music will be soooo hot this fall

Solange, Jazmine Sullian, T.I.,Monica, Robin Thicke, Joe, Neyo and of course Bee and when ever Jay drop the BP3.

I’m shocked. I never knew she could sing like this. I though she was whack but this track just might change the industry

i guess

ok…so my “good” friend is a brandy fanatic…so i hav3 to be hush hush on this one….but i wat to know what people think who are not brandy LAMES…damn…i like her too…but some of yall be acting like she god…and if yall had to choose to save her or your MOTHER….lets just say..momma would be lost!…i do like brandy..im a fan…BUT..honestly…this aint it…The song needs somemore personalzation…it sounds slightly generic…no brandy flavor that she always put on…But im sure, like afrodisiac the best songs will be left to the album cut so im keeping my eyes open.

Brandy is BACK and the haters can’t take. She’s coming for wigs. Pin your lacefronts DOWNE ladies. B-Rocka is reclaiming her throne. That is all.

This song is DOPE!!! A great comback single Brandy aint nothing to mess with. SHE TOLD YALL IN THE SONG WE AINT GOING NO WHERE!!! And thats what she means. This song it going straight to number 1

I’M COMPLETELY IN AWE OF THIS SONG……..

IF UR A BRANDY FAN LIKE ME OR IF UR NOT…..U CANT DENY THIS TRACK….

FROM THE BASSLINE TO THE INSTRUMENTAL TO THE VOICE…INCREDIBLE…

NEED I SAY MORE…..

BRANDY’S BACK SO TELL UR FAV TO RUN FOR COVER!!!!

It was ok but I really like Dig This and List better. It’ll have to grow on me I guess.

THIS IS AN EXTREMELY SMART MOVE ON Brandy’s Behalf!

This is a POP SONG, she is going back to the Never-Say-Never format where the songs will be more middle of the road, and will no doubt garner attention from all sides.

This is somethin Rihanna has done well in her career! But Brandy did it first!

Come the HELL ON BRAN!!!!!

B-Rocka is BACK!! The song is a #1 HIT!

omg i emailed you guys about this last night at like 12 am my time and i wake up and find it as the first thing up!!! (i would like to think i had something to do with this lol j/k)

anyway i love it alot,but i do think that it wont be recieved well…..unless she has a great feature on it for the video (prolly chris brown or ne-yo or even kanye) we shall see who she put on there but frankly i would play this song out,i listened to it like 4 times last night….her vocals sound great!

RE: 43

I think you, like many others are thinking of the song in terms of getting play on the Black stations, when the song has a very broad audience its attempting to appeal to. This song will make great plays in Europe, it will be a great club remix song, and it will do fine on urban stations because of the soulful rifts.

Umbrella without Jay-Z wasn’t a ubran song, this is somewhere in that vein. Also think Alicia Keys “No One.”

I’m not sure what to say. I LOVE Brandy, the girl is just bad. I’m sure the album will be fire and on heavy rotation with me. This particular song, it’s OK for me. I need that hot video to go with it. So glad Brandy is back. All these other chicks have been boring me to death!

I’m feelin this song

SHE’S BACK Y’ALLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!! Voice is amazing as usual and the song is gonna blow up, trust, ugh siiiiickkk

alright sista! miss you!

glad to see her back but come back with your own feel not a alicia keys vibe

Welcome back Brandy! This is hot.

I LOVE IT! Her vocals are Incredible! I’m so glad she’s back.
She’s singin her heart out. Everybody I know can’t get enough of this song.

Brandy is THE BEST.

WOW leave it to Brandy to do something completely different from everyone else.
I want this on the radio Immediatly!!! I never doubted you B-Rocka.

I’ll be right here with you!!

@mofo

thats for clearing that up i see where you are coming from now..

LOVE this shit…Brandy can do NO WRONG Like everyone above said….Good to see my girl gettn so much love!

CAN’T STOP LISTENING!!!

SHE NEVER DISSAPOINTS MY EAR!!
AWW COME ON BRANDY!

ONE QUESTION CONCRETELOOP,
ARE YALL READY FOR THE QUEEN RETURN?

YEEEEEAAAAH MAAAAYNE! B-Rocka is back and is taking over! Love this woman.

monica new song is way better than this song, this song isn’t good enuff to be first single.

I just listened to the song again and I really hope Brandy kicks in the door with her return and her people should try to get her on Fashion Rocks. I was so disappointed that one year on BET she was performing at the awards preshow. I was like Brandy is a major star and she was used at the pre show.

@57 I haven’t heard Monica new song yet what is the name of it?

The song is hot.

Do ya thing Brandy! The worlds waiting.

Love it! Glad she’s back and making more great music with Darkchild. They have great Chemistry.

@ SO REAL…U GOT TO BE KIDDIN…UNLIKE BRANDY TELL MONICA TO CHANGE IT UP A BIT….SHE HASN’T CHANGED AT ALL…BRANDY IS TAKIN RISK LET’S SEE WHO SINGLE HITS THE BILLBOARD 100 NOT THE BILLBOARD R&B CHARTS

THS IS DEF. A CHART TOPPER.

I LOVE BRANDY !!! she is the SHI*, LOVE HER LOVE HER LOVE HER !!!! … she has always been amazing-REAL R&B music-cnt wait, hope she does well….

She’s BAAAAAAACK!! Yay!!

I can’t wait for the new album., I’m digging the song.

Brandy I love it. This is sick. Like I said R. Jerkins and Brandy have a chemistry that cannot be matched with any other artist he works with. Great production, vocals were insane and the lyrics were great as well.

I see this song doing well in both urban and pop markets. The urban market is more receptive to pop now with the inception of Rihanna and the new techno/soul sound that other artists like Ne-Yo have been doing. Even though it is a pop song, her singing makes it soulful which is why it’s a crossover.

Glad you are back Brandy! Light up the industry with that fire.

I hope she puts out something better, this is more like an album filler to me or a B side track.

i’m LOVIN this!!! this just sounds really different than everything else that’s out right now…and of course her vocals are always on point. i see everybody likin this song…young, old, everybody. i’m still lovin that “list” song as well. go brandy!!

# 67..TOO BAD SHE CHOSE THIS ONE…SO DEAL WITH THAT

Love her voice, hate the song–

I’m sorry but this joint is an album filler. I have a feeling that her album isn’t gonna be any different than anything else that’s been released within the past 5 years. It’s shame ’cause all these artists are running to the same producers and writers for their material, and as a result, all the music sounds the same.

It’s just so sad that this album is gonna flop hard.

The only ones like the song are the members at brandysource,net board lol. this is not the move sorry. Garbage

I love this

I looove it.

dis is fresh n somethin new N I really rEalLy like it

I really like this song. She stayed true to her sound and she isnt trying to be something she’s not. I love that about her. Cant wait for the album!

I want Brandy to do well so bad, but I’m just not seeing it for her this time around.

And am I listening to the same song as everyone else? This song has no personality. I liked the one Brian posted before.

da queen is back… hater falls back cuz no one can take her place.. no way, no one else can come close…!

lol why all brandy fans coming here trying sell that mediocre song sorry dont like it think she could have done better. this is not first single material, even some of her fans dont like it. stopppppppppppppppppppppppp please, it is what it is. a cute little song ansd should have been an album filler! oh monica song is killing this, idk why folks in denial! thats real talk and whoever dont like it oh well thats my opinion and im sticking to it! but good luck brandy on the album.

I freakin love this song, b rocka you did it again. Don’t make us wait to long for the video

Luv ya B-Rocka! This song is a feel good positive vibe.

fuck da haters..didn’t mama tell u if u ain’t got nothin nice to say then dnt say it all…this is gonna be huge and ya’ll can believe that…ya’ll hating cuz ya’ll see all these positive responses…and not everyone on here is from brandysource

@ 41 Wendell
You couldn’t have taken the words right out of my mouth for real. This was a damn smart move for Brandy considering that it has so much mainstream crossover potential. I think like you said everyone is worried about how urban (BLACK) radio will take this but look at Rihanna for example. They didn’t starting playing her videos on BET until Umbrella and Take A Bow. Now a days it least for what I was told it is all about creating a mainstream audience meaning not just catering to urban but to white, chinese, puertan rican or whatever and Brandy from the look of her singles over the years on Billboard.com has done a mainstream crossover except for the underrated Afrodisiac era. The first thing I thought when I heard this song was Billboard Hot 100 which from another bulletin posted on another website is already in rotation on Hot 99.5 (Pop Radio).

@ 58 Dame
Monica new song which was supposed to be Still Standing is good but it’s not that push she needs either. At least we know this is crossover material. Monica song Still Standing song sounds sort of like Mariah Carey’s song Migrate a little bit. And then her label told her that they didn’t want her to pick that as a first single and now wants to put out her song Taxi which sounds like Beyonce “Irreplaceable” cause is was produced by Stargate (Ne-Yo).

@ 81
I agree with you totally this is something Hot 100 would def eat up and it doesn’t matter if urban radio eats this up it is all about mainstream and crossover for real. I said the first thing when I first heard this though it’s different and it gives me a slight Alicia Keys “No One” and what did that single what people yeah No 1 on Billboard Hot 100. Brandy and her label are stupid. And @ 78 let’s see whose single hits Billboard Hot 100 first seems as though Monica has not done if since So Gone.

look at these brandy stans typing under different names calling her queen and shit.

nobody has ever named brandy queen of anything so you psycho brandy stans are delusional. this is not the 90’s and brandy is d-list now.

nobody is checking for brandy nonsinging fugly ass but her psycho stans typing under different names on here cause ya’ll know this song is wack and that brandy has never been crowned the queen of anything. gtfoh.

Brandy!! welcome back baby, I love you. I am your biggest fan in Denver,Co. I love the song. The thing I like about Brandy is she takes her time with her selections of songs and does it right!!

Don’t get it twisted, Sexy neva left !!

thank u so much leroy cuz i’m about to go off..but its not that serious..just bcuz a few ppl don’t like it a million more will love it…fuck urban radio..right now brandy is about that cash she does what she wants and if no one likes it then just scram…dnt be mad brandy will always be brandy a.k.a millionaire grammy award winning singer/actress and u will always be a cl commentor

@ 84 it seems to me ur typing under different names..if u dnt like the song then just say that it’s no need to take it far….she’s back and ur shooked…and guess what i’m under the same name bitch

As long as I have Mariah Carey, Beyonce, Alicia Keys, and Mary J Blige, I could care less about the rest of these so called singers.
Sorry Brandy stans but she is just not my cup of tea. Dont freak out over my opinion because I am not a bandwagoner and I like what I like.

btw #87 you seem crazy. You have commented more times than anyone. Is Brandy paying you? Not everybody likes Brandy. Are you going to attack everybody who dont like her? SMH You need professional help because Brandy could care less about you. I hope you praise God just as much as you do Brandy.

#84 You are entitled to your opinion so dont pay these Brandy stans know attention. Its sick how some people worship these celebrities.

@ Leroy

Rihanna just scored her 4th number of the decade tying her with Mariah and Bee go Rihanna she has grown on m. More artist are making pops hit to appeal to all just like you said. So is R&B losing its appeal I agree with you take Keyshia Cole for example Heaven Sent was number one on the R&B charts for weeks and it didn’t crack pop 100 charts on Billboard.

Brandy does have crossover appeal but I think she lost some of her steam with her last very slept on cd. Monica I hope her song doesn’t sound like Irreplacable because the sound is old now.

Brandy is back!! the joint is crazy, i love it

omg im so excited this song is so new and fresh…love her

and btw god is always first in my life..so plz dnt ever mistake my love for him..and how dare u bring him in this???anyways love the single brandy u keep doin u and say to hell with the haters

I think this song put Brandy in her own lane and sets he aside from other singers out now and its pop and very different from brandy and yes I can see this song on the hot 100 its crazy from the beat to the vocals…its not ya everyday shyt….and I’m sure the video is gonna be a killer……

KEVANI……

uhhhh #90 I’m not trying to start stuff but Rihanna has nowhere near as many #1 singles as Beyonce and Mariah. Mariah has the most #1 singles of the 2000’s and Beyonce and Usher are tied at #2. Rihanna is not even on the list. Please dont put her in the same category as Beyonce and Mariah because that’s insulting considering that Rihanna cant even sing.

Anyway I am not a Brandy stan but more like a Brandy fan and I like this song but the other one is better. I still wish her the best of luck though.

i like..of course when they play it on the radio ima love it….(just like ‘talk about our love’ i liked it but when they played it on the radio i fell in love with it—now it on my playlist of all time fav songs) i wanna see how this video is gonna be…And if this is gonna top afrodisiac cd…thats a classic….

Brandy knock Ciara,Rihanna (sorry 2 say), Beyonce all back o their asses!

Let’s Get It!

ummm, monica and her team knows what they doing. that was scripted in the show for larry jackson to not like the first single, honey!! you ought not get so defensive dang its just peoples opinion! if everybody liked what all artists bring out, then no one would be flopping! brandy aint God and its crazy how people worship wordly things and people, be careful about that brandy fans. God is a jealous God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

ABOUT DAMN TIMMMMMMMMMEEEE!!!!
THANK U JESUS!!
MUSIC IS COMING BACK!
SHOW THESE TRICKS HOW ITS DONE BRANDY!!
ARRRGGGGGHHHHHH!!! R N B BEAST! HEAR ME ROAR!!!

Wow.

This is an amazing song, and is an amazing choice of first single.

Its POP, its fresh, its vibrant and uplifting and will bump on radio easily!!!!!!

Its a good first installment from whats going to be a banging project!!

Go Brandy!

I’M NOT GONNA ARGUE ANYMORE…JUST LISTEN TO THE SONG..I HOPE U GUYS ENJOY IT AND I REALLY HOPE U HATERS GET THAT HATE OUT OF U AND JUST LISTEN TO THE MUSIC FOR WHAT IT IS NOT BCUZ OF WHO IT’S BY

WOW SUM OF Y’ALL HATERS DON’T NOW SHIT ABOUT REAL MUSIC OR A REAL TALENTED ARTIST. IF YA TRECK WRECK ASSESS ARE BITCHIN ABOUT B-ROCKA THEN I ADVISE Y’ALL TO GET OFF THE DAMN POST. IT’S BEEN AWHILE SINCE SHE MADE MUSIC AND IT’S GOOD 4 HER SHE’S COMING BACK. BUT Y’ALL WOULD WORSHIP THESE NON TALENTED TRICKS THAT AIN’T WORTH SHIT WHEN IT COMES TO MUSIC. BRANDY HAVE ALWAYS MADE DECENT MUSIC OVER THE YEARS OF HER CAREER. HELL, LET’S TAKE THIS SHIT BACK AND REMIND Y’ALL IGNORANT DUMB ASS HOES.

1.) Brandy is a singer-songwriter, record producer, fashion model, actress, and film producer.
2.) She is one of the best-selling female artists in American music history, having sold over 10.5 million copies of her four studio albums in the United States. Also,over 25 million albums worldwide.
3.) She has won over 100 awards as a recording artist.

HELL, CASSIE AND RHIANNA COULDN’T EVEN KEEP UP WITH THAT. HELL I’M A CIARA FAN AND I’VE ALWAYS LOVED BRANDY WAYY BEFORE SHE CAME OUT ALONG WIT AALIYAH (R.I.P.) BABYGIRL. SO BRANDY FANS UNITE!! B-ROCKA 08″ BITCHEZ!!

love brandy…
love her music…
love her voice…
love this song…
she’s like a breath of fresh air…
welcome back brandy!

Not feeling it.
Brandy was the ‘it’ girl back in the day but now Alicia, Bey, Mariah, and Mary are the Queens of the game like somebody said.
At least she can sing unlike Ciara and Rihanna which is a plus. She could definitely knock them 2 off but not the other 4.

LMAO @ #101. Calm your stan ass down. Brandy won over 100 awards? LMAO Not a chance in hell of that. Brandy one of the best selling female artists in history? Again LMAO. She aint no Britney or Mariah or Beyonce. You just making ish up now.
And all this is coming from a Ciara stan so you really have no credibility if you stan for someone like Ciara who cant even sing. Get outta here. You Brandy stans are beyond crazy.

I’M SORRY I HAD TO..BUT #105..TO NOT BE A FAN U SURE KNOW ALOT ABOUT BRANDY..DO U LIKE THE SONG OR NOT???JUST ANSWER THAT QUESTION AND TO VERIFY HIS FACTS WERE NOT MADE UP SHE HAS SOLD THAT AMOUNT OF ALBUMS AND SHE HAS WON OVER 100 AWARDS HE DIDN’T SAY GRAMMYS

I’m a big fan of Brandy as a recording artist and vocalist and while I don’t really love this song I have to say that her team have been a bit clever with choosing it as a lead off single because even though it’s not great music it does have that ‘music for everybody’ bland feel that mainstream audiences eat up. As it’s a business this is the type of move Brandy Inc. needed to make to stay revelant. Brandy put the effort in with both her last albums but down to terrible promotion by her labels both albums failed to hit their mark sales wise and because she wasn’t properly promoted the last time round her name definitely devalued in the process. No-one can really say Full Moon and Afrodesiac were failures creatively… if anything her last album was ahead of it’s time i.e. Coldplay meets RnB… you only have to look at the success of Justin Timberlake’s last effort and One Republic’s Apologize to know that. In any case, IMO before Brandy can come back and own the game again, she has to play the game by it’s more conventional rules a little bit. If it means making blatant commercial music for one album then so be it. An artist who is not as A list as they once were needs to prove that they can sell albums again before the label will back their creative deviances. Once she’s proved she’s a commercial seller again she can be experimental. Her and her team seem to know that this is her last chance and that another Afrodesiac-style album based on mood and vibe and not hit-songs would be a mistake. I feel this is why instead of concentrating solely on the music, the majority of this project’s effort has been in finding the right label with the capital to properly promote it because… if an album is released in the woods, good or bad does anyone really hear it?

BRANDY IS THE ONE WHO MADE ME FALL IN LOVE WITH MUSIC

I AM A BEY STAN TO THE FULLEST BUT BRANDY WILL ALWAYS BE NUMBER1 IN MY HEART.

THESE CHICKS BETTER STEP THEIR GAME UP.

get it brandy. i can’t wait to get my hands on her new cd!!!

I’m a Brandy stan and have been rockin with her since her Moesha and “Baby” days. The song is not bad at all, but I don’t think its first single comeback material. With a lot of other females like Ciara, Beyonce, Monica, etc all coming out with new LP’s, I think Bran and her people should go back and pick something with FIRE. Cuz y’all know the Bey and Ci will bring it and Monica is talking about going back to her “Why I Love You So Much” days. I just don’t want Brandy to get slept on like she did with Afrodisiac. The song is good and a great album song. Just not sure it will produce the comeback that we all want for Brandy. But imma stan, so I’ll be copin the album regardless.

uhhhh #90 I’m not trying to start stuff but Rihanna has nowhere near as many #1 singles as Beyonce and Mariah. Mariah has the most #1 singles of the 2000’s and Beyonce and Usher are tied at #2. Rihanna is not even on the list. Please dont put her in the same category as Beyonce and Mariah because that’s insulting considering that Rihanna cant even sing.

Anyway I am not a Brandy stan but more like a Brandy fan and I like this song but the other one is better. I still wish her the best of luck though.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Star I said this decade regarding Rihanna. I don’t think Rihanna can sing at but she has an appeal that works for her.

I read Billboard on a daily basis because I am into music like that. Billboard is about to celebrate their 50th anniversary next month they have a list of number ones by the decade and Bee and DC numbers are separate and not counted together. If they were together Bee would have 7 and Rihanna has 4.

#103

i knew your crusty, dusty, raggedy, trashy two twisted vagina clit ass was gonna say something. bitch take ya treck wreck ass out of here with that bullshit. and don’t you fuckin dare call me something i’m not cuz you don’t know shit about me. and please don’t get me muthafuckin started on THE PRINCESS cuz he she’s gonna REGIN though your town in a couple of months. So pipe ya bitchin, moanin, complain, whining ass down.

I am listening to Monica song right now I like it real music coming back baby and hurry up with the cd Brandy and Monica I hated her last cd.

“he she’s gonna REGIN though your town in a couple of months..”
My apology on this sentence. I was typing too fast. I meant “She’s gonna REGIN though your town in a couple of months.” But who knows dumb ass ho’s will still NEVER learn cuz they are TOO damn IGNORANT and STUPID as hell. whatever.

That is NOT single material…

This is going too be big i have missedddd her voice thank God she sorted out all them things about the car crash thinggg GO BRANDY BACK AND STROUNGER

Does it REALLY FUCKING MATTER how many #1’s or Platinum selling records or awards artists have won??? Shut up and listen to the music, for what it is.

its OK, bordering on horrible.

i love brandy!!!!!!

the song may take a little bit to grow on me
but im sure she has more hits waiting in the wings!!!!!!

I’m sorry but I dont believe that Brandy has won over 100 awards and she is certainly not one of the best selling female artists in history. Did you see the sales of her last couple of albums? I’m not a hater but people are taking the stan thing to another level. Brandy stans got issues responding to everybody who say something bad about Brandy. Its not that serious. Get a life.

BTW this song is boring to me. Brandy gonna have to come back harder than this. I dont care if you Brandy stans get mad but this is just my opinion.

BRANDY IS THE BESTBEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
INCREDIBLE IN EVERY WAY!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SONG & IM SOOO HAPPY SHES BACK.

there are music lovers

and then there are people who just like music,but for those of us that Love it and breathe it we can appreiciate this song and what brandy is trying to say with the song,those that dont like it fair enough,listen to what you like then,half of you posted fairly after hearing it even not liking it and the others started a bash party…..theres no need to act like brandy killed your best friend and theres no need for the fans,stans,and haters alike to start a big argument either you like it or you dont it shouldnt have gotten any further then that geeeesh

NEVER REALLY LIKE HER UNTIL “WHO IS SHE TO YOU”..ALWAYS THOUGHT MONICA WAS MUCH BETTER……

I like the song, its a nice crossover song i hope it works for her, i agree with the reader who made the video comment i had such a great concept for whos she to you and then saw the rubbish video. i have the same problem with Mariah and her videos.

#110 Who cares about that list? It’s easy to have a #1 single today just look at Soulja Boy and Rihanna. The fact that Rihanna has had #1 singles with a horrible voice like that speaks for itself. Who cares. #1 singles dont equal talent.

I wish people would get off this number stuff. Who cares how many awards or #1 singles someone has had? Jill Scott has never had a #1 single or won lots of awards but does that take away from her talent? No.

I’m just saying. Like someone said just listen to the music and stop talking about how many #1 singles/awards somebody has. To me, that is nothing to be proud of. Having talent and having people compliment you for your TALENT is something to be proud of.

As for Brandy, I wish her the best. This song has to grow on me but she does have talent. I dont give a damn how many awards she got or albums she’s sold. She is talented period.

OMGosh I just lost my IPod and I was so sad until i heard this new BRANDY track!.

Thank you Brandy for making my day.

I love you!!!

I grew up listening to Brandy so I’ve always loved her music, and I’m feeling this song.It was definitely made for crossover appeal..I can’t wait to hear the album..

I’m going to be completely honest, I’m not feeling this song at all.

SEEMS TO ME THE POP-AUDIENCE IS LOVING IT MORE THAN THE URBAN-AUDIENCE. I CHECKED OUT AFEW MESSAGE BOARDS & THEY’RE LOVING IT!!!
I’M HAPPY THAT SHES CATERING TO BOTH AUDIENCE. U CAN EITHER HATE IT OR LOVE IT!
B’ROCKA IS BACK!

SHUT UP already about the producers, people remake songs or steal parts etc and no one says anything..why does this song get all the attention for a sample lol I love the song and it is not the first time brandy decided to sample coldplays beats she did it her last album…no secret she is a coldplay fan. I look at it as her showing how much she likes their music. Come on slow people, you learn from history, music is the same way.

cant listen im work! but Brandy looks great ! and i know the song is great as well!

#69 I did deal with it and I’ll past. Its okay not to be a stan.

im a brandy stand and i didnt like the song at first but NOW i cant stop playing it….

The list doesn’t take away from anyone talent. I never said being #1 equals talent.Talent always win in the end Mary and Mariah as out lasted most fly by night sensations. I just said I read Billboard (because I do) and the convo was about R&B not being as appealing as crossing over to pop.

Your right about talent over sells I am a big fan of REAL singers(Mary,Bey,Jill,
India,Usher,Jazmine,Joe,Mario, Carl Thomas and etc) but I can dig music by Rihanna, Madonna and etc but I would never buy their music for my own personal collection. I have alll of Brandy cds and I want her to well

@129…

This song doesn’t get “all” this attention, its just on a blog, no biggie, no hard feelings. 132 posts, with a lot of repeat user posts. History repeats itself, it doesn’t copy itself, meaning we don’t look back on wars and say “that was a great war lets copy that one in this new one and rebrand it” - but that is all in humor to your point

I don’t care if someone copies - I said that before - as long as they give credit to the person who spent their time creating it. Which in this case, they didn’t. Check the credit on this song, with their publisher (yes, I checked it) - Chris Martin is not listed - that is where my problem lies esp since you all say she is a fan, then why not credit the man whose progression is played note for note with accents. This goes for any production team, artist, producer in my book. As I said before, Kanye samples, but he credits

And as I said before, this opinion is not in reference to the “quality” or “playability” of this song - it may work you know, and she is providing for her fans. No probs there. My problem is just the politics of the release, and the disregard for another mans work, there is, in my opinion, a problem with that.

It’s okay. I like Brandy but really never been a huge fan since back in the day day day. She has a nice singin voice but her songs nowadays don’t really do anything for me. I like songs across different genres so it’s not an issue about the type of song that’s she’s singing. No matter what u sing or how u switch it up you have to really put ur foot in it and it sounds like she just put her toes in it but not the whole foot. As nice as Brandy sound singing in her own lane (and slightly different lanes), I’ve heard better. I liked her last singles from previous albums a lot better.

But as a person, I like Brandy’s personality and would always wish her the best. She seems like a really kind and humble person and I grew up on her “I wanna be doooown” and the “The Boy is Mineeee” and her feature on Waiting to Exhale soundtrack is beautiful so she definitely deserves her success and respect in the industry. Just off the strength of her how hard she has worked and how much her core fans love her- I’m glad that she’s back too.

She is such a knockout! BTW,I just know many sexy and hot singles can be also found on the free interracial dating club ~~###~~I n t i m a t e M i n g l e …COM ~~###~~ and rumors disclose that some celebrities’ profiles are also found there. Don’t know whether it’s true or not. But it’s really a friendly community for people of different races and colors.

Her voice is beautiful on this song…..loves it….Come on back B-Rocka

her voice is beautiful….loves it!

I love Brandy but this song does nothing for me.

@ 84 bitch stfu ragged ass bitch brandy look 10 times hotter than yo dirty broke ass
bitch get off the damn blogs hating and shit, dont you need to go get some money or something, sitting around giving yo stupid ass opinion.

@ 84 ya dumb ass bitch

This song has hit written all over it. When I first heard it I was like…umm I don’t know. But when you listen to it again it really sticks. That’s what #1 records do. They are different…they are songs you wouldn’t expect, and they are catchy. Examples: Umbrella, No One, Be Without You, etc. Brandy is a smart girl and a great artist…trust…she knows what she’s doing. I’ll be supporting her.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOO SNAP!!!!! I love this Chick! She is so good for the industry!!!! Do it Bran Bran!!!!!!! Loves You Babes!

THIS SONG IZ DA BIZNESS!!! I AM REALLY IMPRESSED!! HEARING THIS SONG AND ALSO THE LEAKS, I WILL DEFINITELY BE COPING THE ALBUM!! CANNOT WAIT TO SEE THE VIDEO!!!

#1 RECORD! This song is HOT

WELCOME BACK BRANDY! Love this songg!

hmmmm I’m on the fence with this and l looooove Brandy. But I’ll still buy her album because she makes great albums!

Lmao @ #141

OMG THIS SONG SUCKS! COME BACK REALLY?…. NOT WITH THIS Single. Please tell me she was not hiding just to put out this bull shit! The best part of the song was the ending! I will not be buying this painful to the ear music! A HUGE LET DOWN!

I’m not a Brandy fan but the song is okay, I guess..

List is better because i like the pace of the song and fall was only good for its chorus and this song is more well rounded. I do see this as a hit on pop stations but urban ….i dont know

ALL HAIL B ROCKA!!!!

I’m diggin this song. I’m not saying its groundbreaking, I’m just glad its not another Ne-Yo written, Stargate produced, Irreplaceable knockoff that seems to be a fad these days. The song is written pretty well and her voice is great. I love Brandy, but I don’t see her ever achieving as much success as she has in the past. I will continue to buy her music though because she never disappoints.

Brandy is right along wit Cee Cee and Ri Ri she can not sing SORRY!!

^^^^M!SS !INDEPENDENT..^^^^^^^^^^^^^^just because she don’t scream at the top of her lungS like keyshia cole and beyonce forcing shit doesn’t mean she can’t sing…..brandy has a unique voice/rare voice that not alot of people have thats what stands he out from them…ditto for rihanna..but she is a different story. ne ways, Alough i agree ciara cannot sing…dancing gets her by…same go with chris brown…with out that there ……same ol’ trendsetter.Back to Brandy, this is a hot song….ill say this will be around #30ish on the billboard charts….i really do think with the right promotion of Afrodisiac that would did alot better thanit did…i do agree some people on this blog are just too much…i bet when beyonce new song come they gon be saying the same thing they saying bout brandy…….But really i love this song tho….i hope she gets better promotion….than in the past….

I listened to this song twice to get really get the feel of it beforie I commented, and it’s just aight to me. It’ s reminding of of Umbrella, and it seems like something is missing. I like the other track that was leaked a week ago though. Even though I’m not crazy about this, I think it could probably do well with pop listeners.

She looks SO beautiful. I saw her personals ID on wealthy men for beautiful women site “”"”"”"”W e a l t h y L o v e s.co m”"”"”"”"”"” last week. It is said she is dating young billlionaire on that site. Is she single now?

Wow CL you let ignorant, foul comments like #140 get posted, but when people have intelligent relevant things to say, they get moderated with the quickness. Backwards, but ok I guess?

Anyway, I live in DC and we have 3 popular stations, two of which are urban and the other pop. My friend just told me that all 3 stations premiered her song on the same day. That is a good look. I can’t recall any of her songs from the last album being played on any stations. That just goes to show her and her label chose the right song to be released as her first single. Also shows that she’s really not playing with this next album.

To the people who are saying negative hateful things about Brandy or the song, wouldn’t it be easier to just not say anything at all? No comment says way more then going off into a rant about how you dont like the song. Just a suggestion.

Brandy girl!!!! I’ve missed you!!!! I’ve been suffering girl!!! I’m sorry this Monica song aint got shit on Brandy. I’m loving this girl!!! Go head Brandy!!!!

SOME PEOPLE JUST HATE FOR NO REASON. BRANDY IS BACK! NO, I AM NOT A STAN; I GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE. I BET YOU WILL SEE THIS SINGLE’S VIDEO PLAYED ON TRL. BRANDY’S VOICE HAS MATURED A LOT, SHE SOUND BETTER THAN EVER. BRANDY HAD HITS WHEN BEYONCE, CIARA, AND RHIANNA WERE TAKING OUT THEIR PAREN’TS GARBAGE. BRANDY IS A 15 YEAR MUSIC INDUSTRY VETERAN AT 29- HOW ABOUT THAT.

check her record….i dnt make this ish up

http://mpelembe.blogware....es/2008/8/15/3839264.html

Bottom line…..Black folks “listen” and White folks “buy”. (on average)

Good thinking Rocka….

MusickidD

FIRST OFF WELCOME BACK B ROCKA MUSIC NEEDS U THIS INDUSTRY NEEDS U AND U WERE SO BADLY MISSED. THIS WAS A SMART MOVE BY EPIC TO RELEASE THIS SONG CAUSE IT CAN APPEAL TO A WIDE AUDIENCE. SHE IS GOING BACK TO HER NEVER SAY NEVER DAYS WHEN SHE WAS KILLING IT AND DROPING BACK TO BACK TO BACK #1′S. I HOPE THEY PROMOTE THE HELL OUT THIS NEW ALBUM CAUSE SHE IS ONE OF THE BEST FEMALE VOCALISTS OF ALL TIME. HER VOICE IS LIKE NO OTHER AND HER TONE IS CRAZY. I LOVE U BRANDY AND CAN’T WAIT FOR TNE ALBUM IN NOVEMBER!!!

The song is awesome! Brandy is awesome! Cant wait for the release of this album… some artist just can do no wrong, Brandy is one of those artist. Dont agree?… KICK ROCKS!!

I’m in need of a Brandy-Darkchild breakup or separation of some sort. He’s been giving her lame-ass production and her voice doesn’t need any special effects or overtly crossover beats. She can SANG and yet he made her sound like she’s a MTB contestant. Let her free and do her thang like on the first couple of records! Stop making her songs sound like Ciara/Rihanna/Danity Kane/etc. songs. She needs to work with Missy, Scott Storch, The Neptunes, Kanye, somebody–anybody else. I love her voice so much and he just distorted how fly she sounds.

First offf, I made this chord progression for another record. I submitted this song to about 12 industry people for Beyonce and Rhianna and then I hear the departed record for the first time today. This record sounds like my shit exactly…I am not some bullshit producer, but there is a good chance that they jacked me for that progression.

THIS IS A HOT ONE BRANDY, BRANDY AND DARKCHILD ARE THE TEAM. LIKE TONI B AND LAFACE , JANET AND JIMMY & TERRY. MISSY & TIMB..
