Brandy premieres her video for the first single from her new album, Human (out November 11th). The video is very minimal, and works really well with the song. Brandy looks great too.
The video features cameos from brother Ray-J (who appears in most of Brandy’s videos), friend/long time contributor, Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins and Tia Mowry’s husband Corey Hardrict.
For this edition of 'Who Rock'd It Better', we have ...

Brandy and Mariah. Brandy and Mariah release wrong singles. It’s management making them flop. Brandy releases this junk but will have a banging cut like Full Moon. Mariah releases corny I’ll be loving you and That chick and has I STAY IN LOVE, just waiting to break hearts all over again.
They both losing fan after fan. Stop letting Label heads destroy your careers and release good product.
But look wise, Brandy and Mariah both look beautiful.
(sighs). I think the video is gonna have to grown on me ’cause honestly, I was expecting just a little bit more. Brandy does look nice though.
#1?? bandy is geat
I agree with oldboi. brandy has so many hot b sides and i ain’t even gonna start with MARIAH, they refuse to let her unleash her voice live on ellen or something with I WISH YOU WELL OR I STAY IN LOVE, blow up the spot vocally old girl and it will blow you cd sales up.
RIGHT HERE: CORNY AND THAT CHICK: CORNY
Nice video. Brandy looks so prety!!
And Tia’s husband is so fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine, He looks like he’s gonna cry, though.
Uhhhhh…… so 1st off brandy hasnt changed since…..i dont know when…she still is doing the same dance moves from “talk about us” ft kanye…and the 6 foot tall,original queen of the lace fronts(sorry beyonce) is juuuuuuust not pulling me in anymore. But with all positivity i do like some of the melodies in the chorus.
who chooses these singles i’m disappointed in Usher Mariah and Brandy. i expected them to bring IT and they didn’t. remember when we use to get excited cuz there was gonna be a Brandy “have u ever” or a Mariah “I’m Free” or a Usher “confessions”. Now… blah
p.s. i listened to that mariah song i stay in love. beautiful
Label heads chose singles. They mad mistakes with 2 bad singles for Usher and Mariah boring corny songs. Usher had Eco or Trading Places or His mistakes and Mariah had I Stay in Love or Migrate or even Thanks for Nothing. These are songs people can relate to
brandy u look great but blah
So what, Bran thinks she’s Jesus or something? LOL…J/K
I LOOOVEEE the song, but the imagery in the video was not what I expected. I will say it brings more depth to the song, which is a plus.
I’m sold…she’s got my money Nov 11th.
Did I forget to mention…she looks amazing. Straight up…no lie.
The video made me love the song. Welcome back Brandy. I love that she is not naked rolling on the floor like some songstress that shall remain nameless.
This song was just “AIIGHT” to me. You been gone from the public eye for how long? And you come at us with this? C’mon Brandy you can do better than this baby girl, for a first single. The song is nice & very uplifting but, not a good pick as far as a…”I’M BACK” single.
Yeah she is looking very nice, make up & weave/wig are on point. (I wonder if she is still a VEGETARIAN). I remember her being real serious about that back in the day, even when pregnant with her daughter).
WELCOME BACK BRANDY!
Brandy Usher and Mariah still make quality cd’s. mistakes are being made with singles but the vocals, the dynamics are still there. all 3 can sing and the lyrics are killer.
agree with the usher comments and mariah is running around in love and has let her cd slip out of hands. rebound with a killer LIVE performance of i stay in love and wish you well and the charts are hers.
brandy ur beautiful
brandy can do no wrong by me.
love love love her!!!!
Okay so I knew I have seen that dude (Tia’s husband) somewhere. And I know Ray J is Brandy’s brother but come on. Go make another sex tape.
we waited years for this 2008 is year of horrible single choices.
and why do people talk about singers who prance around naked, what about Janet Jackson shes slutty in videos dating back 15 years, but they don’t call her a skank, what about JLO whose legs have spread open to every male from Wesley snips to Wayans brothers to Puffy but she’s classy. please.
Stop hating on a 38year old who is feeling proud about her body.
Brandy with or without wig, your looking great
all i gotta say is…LACEFRONT GAME PROPER! Ol girl really stepped it up in the hair department!! I really love it.
On the video…….I dig it. I really dont really understand the concept, like was she supposedly dead and was saying shes “Right Here” like in spirit or something? Other than that, I love it. BROWN IS BACK!! GoTTA love it!!
this song is ok, but she’s like 30 right? i was expecting some grown and sexy. so tired of everyone’s single is love in a club or touch my body or this.
substance. emotion, feeling, voice presence.
Simple & lovely video, 4 some reason i was xpectin just a lil bit more, but it works, & she looks really beautiful, so kudos.
girlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll LITTLE MISS RIHANNA IS HATIN……….AND MS. NEW BOOBS CIARA IS HATIN…..group of over-made up weave wearing children trying to be grown.
THE ORIGINAL BLACK TEEN QUEEN IS BACK. i’m sure the cd is gonna have what we want from Brandy.
GIVEN WHAT USHER AND MARIAH AND BRANDY HAVE given US? they are allowed to make a few bad choices.
LOVE THEM ALL.
MY GIRL LOOK SO NICE but the video didn’t go over well with me. I kept saying this has nothing to do with the song all and that boy was tooooooooooooo ugly mabe he was having a bad day, DAMN but brandy glad your back and you looked beautiful like always I hope you have something on the cd like your song HE IS
I really like this song and video good ish!!
swing that weave girl. if beyonce, mimi and all those divas can. let that hair flow sweety
LOVE BRANDY
She looks nice, but I was hoping for SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much more with this video. It just seemed to be lacking something… I wasn’t sold on the visuals… Hopefully, she will give a better video next go around.
THIS SOUNDS LIKE ONE OF THOSE CROSSOVER SONGS. LIKE YOU CAN SING THIS AND BE TALKING ABOUT GOD
I LOVE IT!!!! GO BRAN!!!
I love the song and the video
#15
Grown and sexy? You must be an R. Pissy fan, lol.
Did you even listen to the lyrics? Wish I could slow it down for you but you’d probably still miss the bus.
I dont see how people say the video has nothing to do with the song.. its PLAN as DAY to see how the song and the video goes together my GOD..
LMAO at #24!!!
She looks nice, but I was hoping for SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much more with this video. It just seemed to be lacking something..I wasn’t sold on the visuals,… Hopefully, she will give a better video next go around. But again, she looks nice.
Brandy should never had ‘DEPARTED’ from Darkchild. Every track he produces is a hit. I’ve adored Brandy since them ‘Thea’ days. She’s my girl!!!
So my analysis of the video concept is that Brandy “passed on” and her bf (cory) and mama (lady in the parking lot) are both missing her, so she comes back to visit them and let them know that she is always with them so they should not be sad. Then after they feel her presence, they are at peace with her passing. IF THIS IS NOT THE POINT OF THE VIDEO, I will be pissed because then it will make absolutely NO SENSE whatsoever!! Otherwise, its a great song, the concept I suggested goes well with it and I will be downloading her cd.
Peace to you all and good day!
WHAT?!?!
i like brandy but that is the most boring shit ever…
wots da next single coz am already tired of this one, and i was so excited.
BRANDY is AMAZING !!!!! … LUV it , LOVE IT !!!
#24 probably likes to be pissed on
Brandy looks more cute than before ,is it because of her new relationship?few days earlier,i come across a news that said she is meeting a wealthy man on the dating site which i remember called (MillMatch……c o m) i wonder whether it is true
I love B rocka, she does not try to be something she is not. Simple Video for a meaningful song. When your song is about nothing you have to have a dance with it or be naked.
#25 whats so obvious about it, there’s no back track into why these people need someone to hold them or why it’s brandy with them, they just expect folks to get it…..noetheless, i LOVE THIS DAMN SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! can’t wait to cop the album!!!
BRANDYS LOOKS BEAUTIFUL IN THE VIDEO…I MEAN REALLY GOOD! LOL…BUT YEAH, THE VIDEO IS PRETTY SIMPLE BUT IT SERVES IT PURPOSE AND AT LEAST IT MAKES SENSE TO WHAT THE SONG IS SAYING
AINT MAD AT YOU BRANDY!
agrees with #10 about mimi- so true..
brandy does look good in the video. i’m glad she popped back around but she shouldn’t stay too long. she doesn’t need to. like mariah and usher they are already established and don’t have to fight too hard. they have years of success in the industry.
omg, , WTF, this video was just as bad as the song! Brandy looks great! but she needs to try a little harder. I am sorry but she is not making a come back, and were those leggings she had on under that dress? someone needs to tell her stylist… that look is played out just like Brandy.
also agree with #10
if the celebs sit back think bout what’s gonna touch the soul of the people they wouldn’t make bad single choices or bad videos. to many yes men around them.
Brandy good song, hope the cd has bsides that are passionate
usher: retool that cd
mariah; stop lipping you lazy chick and sing again. release ur strongest ballad, cover ur pushed up chest and open those lungs, I stay in love. we have beyonce, riri and ashanti to play hot girl of the moment, you and whitney carry the torch.
I love brandy but the video is not what i expected, I mean its simple and goes with the song i get it she will be right here with you when everything is just going to fast but it is jus not working for me. Surely I will support the son and the video because I love bran and I love the song but I feel like she could have done so much more with the video. But my girl did look fab!!!!
Brandy always get my money and this time will not be any different, i can wait, my girl is back, before i was hot for my girl Beyonce, Brandy was it, I would still choose Brandy 1st, can’t wait to see what she puts out, i really wish she could have promoted Full Moon more (she was pregnant at the time), Afrodiasiac was not my favorite but it grew on me, i think hands down her 1st and 2nd were her most successful, But Brand is back.
Brandy looks and sounds GREAT! Love the song and video!
I LOVE IT !!! WELCOME BACK BRANDY, CAN’T WAIT TO THE ALBUM DROPS…….BRANDT U LOOK BEAUTIFUL…
I liked the song, but seeing her look sooooo GORGEOUS made me like the song even more! I still want more…but Im GLAD 2 see BRANDY BACK!!!
I THINK THE SONG IS LUKEWARM AT BEST. NOT BAD NOT NOTHING TO BE JUMPING UP AND DOWN FOR (LIKE BRIAN).
I LOVE B-ROCKA SOOOO MUCH..this video is completely amazing and i was speechless…it has so much meaning behind it..it makes me appreciate the song so much more…and i think this song is truly something special..and she’s saying things dat has meaning behind it not like some of these artists dats out now..dats not talking about nuthin…can’t wait to get 3 copies of “human”..LOVE U B-ROCKA ALWAYS!!!
The vid itself is okay but sometimes I feel like Brandy’s facial expressions and stances take away from her natural aurora/beauty. Anywho, the song is decent but not MY ipod worthy. Regardless, I’ll always love me some Brandy!!!
Definitely a Darkchild creation. I like it, I don’t even need it to grow on me. Brandy looks great in the video. Its not about all that lovey-dovey ish’ or any of those other song themes. Its about life’s ups and downs. It has substance. The way the lyrics are it can many different things to many different people. I like the hook, the beat, its all hot.
Hot song and beautiful video! Less is more. It was refreshing to see a video go with the song and not some turn to the camera booty poppin or some video shot on grandma anem’s porch lol! Team Brandy all day!!
I’ve always been a Brandy fan…but I’m not feeling much of her new music. The video was nice and simple…and she looked very cute in it…but the song doesn’t do anything for me…the concept, yes I understand it, and it has a clear message, but I don’t see this song getting much air play…but hey…I can be proven wrong…but the best of luck to Brandy….I’m just waiting on that one song to wow me.
horrible pick as a lead single, and believe you me, brandy will flop again this time around. she looks good in the video, but when you’ve been gone for 4 damn years, you must come out with all your guns blazin. this will not cut it. epic/sony should’ve planned this effort out a little more, before releasing.
I like the song but I am not feeling the video.
I
I didn’t see Ray J…her wig (the straight black one) is hot.
The song is already #50 on the charts and it just came out 2 weeks ago, or so. I love everything about the way she’s coming back out….simple yet strong! She’s amazing and her music is AMAZING. I personally can’t wait to hear what she cooked up this time around.
I’m so happy B-Rocka is back:) I saw the vid tonight on BET Access Granted. Brandy looks absolutely amazing. I thought the concept of the vid was really simple but if you listen to words of the song and the way Brandy sings it, you can feel her passion or emotion. Right Here (Departed) is going straight to No. 1
@13 wait showing some skin and being completely naked or in a bikini is not a Janet profile. Janet does show some skin but she is never in a video completely in a bikini unless its in a wrap or if her shirt shows cleveage she will have on full pants of a skirt, unlike skank Mariah, Beyonce (yeah still love her but she can put her clothes back on), Rihanna, Christina Millian-nobody, Mya, oh yeah Ashanti damn even Toni who has taken naked and crawling on the floor to a whole another level with that last set of videos from her last CD, but I digress, I said I LOVE THE FACT THAT SHE IS NOT IN A BED NAKED TALKING ABOUT SOME DUDE, SEEN THAT (Nicole S from PCD) & OVER IT! WE NEED PEOPLE WITH IMAGINATION TO DIRECT AND PRODUCE VIDEOS BECAUSE MOST OF THEM ARE TRASH.
