VIDEO: BRANDY - “RIGHT HERE (DEPARTED)”

Wednesday, September 3, 2008

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.

The video did nothing for me honestly.

Isn’t the dress that she’s wearing another version of the one Rihanna rocked at one of the Grammy afterparties?

Ugh! YOU people are the reason why music is so shitty these days. No one cares about the content and production of the song (which is mesmerizing in my opinion). All everyone wants to talk about is her hair, clothes, and the video. Videos don’t always have to be flashy and expensive. I’m not saying the video is all that but the song is the best R&B song I’ve heard since MJB’s “Be Without You”.

brandy is popin ok

….so i think she looks great, i didnt get to watch the show and im sure if this is tur they wont say it becuase it could be personal. Brandy has been gonna for a min when she poped back up it was becuase of a car crash, the album is called human, i do believe that this vid and song has a lot to do with the emotions she felt from the crash. They should of not had one car in that that vid but to zone in on a high way as much ass they did everything was werre a car goes, the high way the street, mad cars at one point and when there was not street or cars there was a empty parking lot. now thats just how i see it and soon as it came on i said wow now thats hot becuase thats something real she had to deal with and shes only human.

Im glad that Brandy is back with this single…the song and video are hot and speak for themselves! I love the road Brandy is taking with this new album, and its good that the video is simple because it doesnt over power the song. Besides im glad she decided to do something different this time around because it was about that we got a video that does not include: Beyonce and her bad lace front chasing Jay-Z around in a Tacky Tina original outfit or Ciara and her no singing self doing the matrix and booty shaking in pleather pants like in the thats right video, or another predictable Mariah video which usually includes her in minimal clothes, rolling around on the beach or the ground with wind blowing in her hair and hitting high notes.

This good music and im glad Brandy isnt trying to be like all these other carbon copy singers found in the industry today!

OKay.
Brandy looks amazing in this video. Wow.
The video itself — was OKay…
The song itself is good.. but it’s not a comeback single good.

But the difference with Brandy is (from them other artists like Usher, Mimi)…. I’m STILL buying the album no matter what. Brandy’s got my money.

okay the song was a major disappointment but i thought brandy was coming hard with the video…not….the video is a thud..no storyline whatsoever…brandy,brandy,brandy you have to come better…i almost fell asleep watching the video!

I can’t believe this is happening! My girl Brandy is baaaaaaaack! She sings this song so beautifully! Brocka is drop dead gorgeous in this video!! I love the concept and how it focuses on delivering the emotion that comes across in RIGHT HERE. All I can say is #1 SMASH!!! Bran bout to kill it once again!! I can’t wait for the album HUMAN to come out NOV 11th!!! Brandy is definately 1 of the best to ever do it!! Her voice is unmatched!!!

I think the song is amazing. With some basic choreography this video could have been a little less….Mother Theresa. I don’t understand why people are hating on this single choice when we dont know what else is on her album. Mariah and Usher, yes, I understand that. I have a good feeling about this song. Reminds me of Natasha B’s Pocketfull of Sunshine.

The video is direct correlation to have those “bad days” and basically feeling like you can’t go on, she’s telling the guy on the street and the woman at the car like, “Look, I’ve been there (with all the flack from the accident, and basically being scared that her career would be over) and we will get through this together”

Her look is beat and she def shows maturity which is what the game has been missing….

I liked the video and the song is growing on me. More of an inspirational song, pop friendly but I don’t know if this is strong enough to bring her back. She looks good in the video as well. Hope there is a song on the album that I really like because so far I haven’t liked anything leaked. I really liked the last album even though the sound was too urban for Brandy even if it fit her well. She should always stick to a sound with crossover appear like this song. It’s the sound that brings her the most success.

Mariah, wrong singles (Touch My Body-horrible lyrics waste of a great melody, Bye Bye-safe and boring). She needs to remember she is famous for her singing ability. Stop liping your damn performances, release I Stay In Love and prove you still have a voice. If not, stick a fork in it.

Love it! Think the quality of our music has gone down so bad that we don’t recognize good music when we hear it. If it was booty shake or talking about derogatory sex( lollipop) everybody would say its the jam. Thanks alot Lil Wayne and the like.

i love brandy but this is just so so song and video.

Usher/Mariah you all are so wrong if you listen to those cd’s they really are good. Usher has loving you gently, here i stand, his mistakes and Mariah has I Stay in LOVE should have held that note longer, i wish you well and thanks for nothing.

you have to forget the 2 bad singles on usher and mariah and get into the cd’s.

The song itself will have to grow on me but Brandy looked pretty, she look like the time off gave her time to relax and have a life. She seems more grown up even though I know she is. She will always be little Brandy swinging on the swing, I can’t think of the name of the song at this time.

IM SORRY BUT BORING AS HELL! AND I AGREE WITH PPL WHO SAID THOSE ARE THE SAME MOVES AND LOOK SINCE….
It’s not working for me, but I appreciate the fact that she’s talking about a different thing, good lyrics, but what is the video supposed to mean? I cant really understand the video, but I think she’s dead in it or she thinks she is a Goddess, or a lovely friend always there, who knows? Anyway, thats her choice to not pulling the sexy card, I know it didnt really worked for her last album and I think thats the first single because remember she had an accident where somebody died so this could explain that choice for the lead single, like a redemption, who knows? I’m just sayin.
Brandy’s full moon was a good album, I think I’m going to download it (legally).

Thursday, September 4, 2008 /

@ 50-I completely agree, I love that Brandi looks beautiful, sexy, and classy
at the same time. The fishnet leggings underneath the dress gives it the sexy
leave something to the imagination effect which she’s known for. Brandi’s never been the really oversexy little clothes songstress. And b4 you I get alot of neg comments I don’t think anythings wrong with that, I think its nice that she’s being herself and that she’s not following the crowd.
The concept of the video was amazing and since I recently lost someone close to me I teared up a little bit when I saw the lady crying and Brandi holding her. B Rocka has my $13 x 3 when this comes out, I totally love and respect her. Love you Brandi xoxo Thicky

BTW Angel can you try to find out where the dress and leggings came from?

I love the video it went WITH the song. For all those not feeling it Brandy is a grown woman with a child that has endured som pretty deep sh** for the past couple of years, she does not need to comeback with full on dance rountines and songs about her man, her money, or just how hot she is. I loved it and in an industry where everything is force fed to you and images are blatantly thrown in your face… it’s cool that Brandy took a simple approach….. this is a grown woman song, she’s not 15 anymore!!!

Brandy looks gorgeous. I like the single, but i’m hoping she comes out with a straight banger….this aint it, but it’s a nice lil tune.

jscene

Thursday, September 4, 2008 /

Brandy needs a straight r&b banger…her voice is too deep and rich for this type of pop…i mean don’t get me wrong, i think this should be on the album, but she needs to use them vocal cords the lord gave her and give us a good r&b soulful song.

Brandy looks fantastic so so beautiful. Love this song love her voice love her. Can’t wait for the album. I own Full Moon and Afrodisiac so my money is already accounted for on 11/11. I know what to expect. Brandy doesn’t need to be all about the visuals because she actually posesses true talent. I would buy anything she puts out video unseen. The video served its purpose but the music speaks for itself and can stand by itself.

WELCOME BACK BRANDY!!!! BRANDY LOOKS SO GORGEOUS IN THIS VIDEO! I LOVE THE SONG AND ITS MESSAGE IN THE LYRICS, I LIKE THAT ITS CATCHY AS FAR AS MELODY GOES. THE VIDEO CONCEPT IS NICE AND ITS CONSISTENT WITH THE SONG I GUESS. I BELIEVE SHE WAS SUPPOSE TO BE AN ANGEL IN THE VIDEO HELPING THOSE IN NEED FEEL BETTER. VERY TOUCHING AND INSPIRING, BRANDY DOES IT AGAIN! AND I WILL BE COPPING HER NEW ALBUM AS ALWAYS NOVEMBER 11TH! HATERS PLEASE BACK OFF WITH THE NEGATIVE COMMENTS!!! ITS NOT NECESSARY, SHE IS A VET IN THE GAME (MUSIC BIZ) IM SURE SHE KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT SHE’S DOING, SO DONT SLEEP ON HER MUSIC JUST YET. B-ROCKA!

I love the Song, the Video and Brandy…for those who are criticizing her, did you expect her to come out at 29 years old with a kid, have naked and doing dance steps……She is a grown woman, with a grown song…that is what’s wrong with music nowadays…Brandy was the first to do it, the first to get endorsements, movies and her own show….she has paved the way for alot of these artist out nowaday’s can you please give her that respect…….

Thursday, September 4, 2008 /

it’s funny how people are constantly saying she will flop and this song will get no airplay when it already has 80 radio station adds…before the vid was released the song debuted on r&B MAINSTREAM charts at #38…sounds like a success to me…anyways i love the vid i’m glad she didn’t have to depend on crazy effects or slutty dance moves to get her point across..just her passion alone she showed in this vid made me love the song much more…and she looks STUNNING!!!!!

#33 was right about the concept .. brandy said in an interview on yahoo that shes an angel coming bak to tell her boyfriend and mother that shes alright and everything is gonna to be ok .. i didnt think much of the video at first but once i heard her say the concept and i watched it again i got chills .. welcome back brandy .. NEVER LEAVE THAT LONG AGAIN lol

brandy looks so amazingly beautiful and striking in her video, oh my goodness. gorgeous. i like the song. her eyes are very beautiful, i have always thought, even when she first came into the scene, that she had some asian in her. i still think so.

134.

Friday, September 5, 2008 /

First off, Brandy looks BEAUTIFUL! Are you kiddin me? She looks flawless!!
But the song is ok…and this video is NOT doin it for me. I kinda hoped this was just a teaser single. But I know homegirl can bring it.

I agree with the earlier comments: Label heads are fucking it up nowadays. Messed up Marial (thank God they did not drop Migrate), Usher (3rd single perhaps?) and now Jeezy (I need a vacation is horrible and contradicts his recession-theme previous video that had SO much heart!).These label heads need to re-think their strategy.

And for the record, Mariah’s “I Stay in Love’ is SO beautiful! Way better than that ‘Bye Bye’ crap!!!

well this is the coolest brandy song yet and i am being compleatly it shows so much growth as an artist and women for brandy it different and thats why most of yall cant take it listen to the lyrics and try to understand what she is saying so much passion and we all know thats passion a mother has i love her you go gurl she doesnt follow fads or musical trends some people change with the music brandy changes music

vid is ‘minimilast’ to say the least( is that just a pleasant way of saying boring ), I expected something bigger for her comeback. But the song is alright anywayz

She looks SO beautiful. I saw her personals ID on wealthy men for beautiful women site “”"”"”C e l e b C u p i d.c o m”"”" last week. It is said she is dating young billlionaire on that site. Is she single now?————–

Friday, September 5, 2008 /

I just want everyone to remember that this single is just a teaser. There is something to be said for saving the best for last and building up, song by song, to an album crescendo and a tour. I think there is much more to come from this true songstress and we should all have our eyes and ears open when the album drops.

P.S. Bran Bran is SITTING in this video!!

Chris Talmadge

Friday, September 5, 2008 /

this is the perfect video for her return. People are posting comments like this video is boring. This song and message holds a much greater pourpose than her making a “flashy video”. For those that say this song is not great you need to really from begging to end listen to the song. from the lyrics, music, backround vocals harmonies, adlibs.. etc. this is an amazing song and video. The problem with a lot of people today is that they are not familialr with simplicity. Brandy looks amazing is singing better than ever and ther is such an annointment on her voice. Welcome back Brandy to surpass any and all that you have done.

141.

jimustsaying

Friday, September 5, 2008 /

Is it just me or is there deeper meaning/ hidden symbolism in this video that some are failing to see? I think it was a bold move on her part and her team to come up with the treatment for the video…Because when we last heard anything relevant about her aside from her brothers sex tape with a questionably well -endowed socialite..she got into an accident that took a life. This was a decision that was made to look very subtle/ non-strategic but is incredible for anyone who dares to look deeper .While I agree with some of the haters,yes this could fall into the category of another boring Brandy video because there isn’t much excitement or anything much going on ..but the concept was smart when you take everything else into account.

142.

taivon

Saturday, September 6, 2008 /

QOUTE: ” 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! ”

IMMA SEND A VIRUS TO YO ASS IF U DOWN LOAD ILLEGAL MUSIC SPECIALLY FROM MY GIRL BROCKA-. IF U WATCH ACCESS GRANTED YOU WOULD GET A BETTER CONCEPT OF THE VIDEO, OR YAHOO.COM AND WATCH HER TALKING BOUT THE VIDEO. YOU GOT EVERYTIHNG RITE BOUT THE VIDEO CONCEPT.. THE ONLY PART THEY LEFT OUT IS DA HER DAUGHTER SCENE . IDK BUT DA VIDEO IS PERFECT..! GHOST WISPER MEET I AM LEGEND ISHHH..1

I think the song is beautiful, The last few years she has been going thru alot and this song just describes some of the things.Most artist normally release song about things they either experience in life and this song does that.Dont criticize listen to the words and then try and judge.
