Check out the album cover for Brandy’s comeback album, Human, which drops on November 11th. This is Brandy’s newest project since 2004′s Afrodisiac and her first release with her new label, Epic Records. On the album, Brandy is working with Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins, who produced her lead single, “Right Here (Departed),” as well as The Clutch, Keri Hilson and a host of others. I know Brandy fans alike can’t wait.
BEYONCE PLANS TOUR + SHOOTS 2 VIDEOS
Beyonce, who has been giving us a little information about her new project, dropping on the 18th of November, has already begun plans for a tour in 2009 for the new album. The artist will play international dates next spring, followed by a North American tour in early summer.
Beyonce has yet to release her singles, “If I Were A Boy” and “Single Ladies,” but she’s shot videos for both – and both were directed by Jake Nava. The songs will impact radio October 14th, while the videos will finally premiere later on in the month.
The artist will perform one of the new singles Nov. 6 as part of the MTV Europe Music Awards in Liverpool, England.
Also in the works is a Beyonce AOL Sessions and a deluxe edition of the album, also due Nov. 18, featuring as-yet-unannounced bonus tracks.
USHER ANNOUNCES TOUR DATES
Usher, whose latest album, Here I Stand didn’t do as much as predicted (especially after the huge reign of 2004′s Confession), has announced dates for his upcoming One Night Stand tour. The tour currently contains 15 dates at intimate venues. I think this is best for Usher, considering that the album didn’t do as well as planned. His true fans will get a chance to see him in a more close situation.

LIL’ WAYNE BEGINS WORK ON CARTER IV
After the huge success of his last album, Lil’ Wayne has announced that he’s already working on his new album, Tha Carter IV. According to his blog on ESPN.com, the rapper is in the studio working on the new project, as well as a new mixtape. The new mixtape, Dedication 3, will fall under DJ Drama’s “Gangsta Grillz” series and “you can expect it real soon,” Wayne says.
He also says that he’ll rerelease it with 20 extra songs for free on his website.
In addition, Lil’ Wayne is also collaborating with T-Pain for a highly anticipated duet album, T-Wayne” which is slated for 2009 release.
“We’ve got three or four songs we’ve finished,” T-Pain tells Billboard. “They don’t really have titles. We’re just doing music and however it comes out, it comes out.”
Brandy is such a diva,beyonce is a spotlight stealing helfa who needs to take a break!She is just fake!Her image and her music is just tired,no growth at all,cant wait for real music to return,oh yeah it already has!The original queen “b “,Brandy!!Luv her
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
lmao @ Jamal’s long run on sentence. You dont have a spacebar on your keyboard?
You so mad at Bey that you forgot to put spacing between your words. LOL
i love the new brandy cover… wow… im really interested in brandy right now
Here I stand is platinum. I don’t understand when people claim that he “flopped”.
Nice picture of Brandy..
I wish Bey would go somewhere and sit the hell down. Not a fan.
Can’t wait to see Usher performance.
Lil Wayne is a busy young man. Can’t wait for T-Wayne to drop.
LOL @ the tired old beyonce hating rountine. Give it up haters! LOL @ folks calling beyonce fake and Brandy real. Yeah brandy is very real, the same chick that got knocked up and lied(on oprah) about getting married legally(spiritual union my azz!)
Anyways I’m anticipating beyonce return, the scene hasn’t been the same since she went on a hiatus. definitely will be buying that album.
Brandy looks heavily photo shopped in that pic.FYI her album is already been pushed back 09,her latest single isn’t doing well.
brandy looks fierce fuck what everybody else talkin about!!!! i love you b-rocka no homo cant wait for that album
weezy what the fuck is you talkin about with that t-wayne shit cuz i’m still waiting on that ish wit juelz and you…..did it come out already i mean did i miss something??? anyway i always like his mixtapes so thats wassup
i’ve read enough from you bee,what i need is to HEAR those singles and SEE those videos ASAP!!! i’m so overly ready
man i hate posting on this site sometimes….the errors are a bit much….but i still got love for cl
anywho i think brandy looks FIERCE fuck what the haters gotta say….i love you b-rocka no homo cant wait for the album
wayne fuck is you talking about cuz i’m still waiting on that juelz collabo album unless i missed something and it was just some mixtape type ish….
bee im tired of reading on yo info i need to hear the songs i need to see the videos…stop making me wait lol
Okay some of these comments are a mess. I don’t even know where to start:
Brandy’s pic is beautiful and her album will be fire as always. People stop bringing up that car wreck; she was acquitted and it was determined that it was not her fault
I’m excited for Bey’s project-the award shows and music scene has been a little boring without my boo. For people telling her to sit down, she tried to sit down and live a normal life. She tried to have a small private wedding and she has been out of the limelight for a minute. It is the media’s fault for putting a picture everytime she goes out to eat at concert. So don’t blame Bey, blame blogs and other media for putting stories up of her because they know that she will generate the most comments.
Usher and Weezy are doing the damn thing. Here I stand did not flop, it was not a “Confessions” success but considering the current state of album sales it is up there.
Why can’t we just be happy that Blacks are trying to do something posititive and making us all look good. Instead of praising them, we tear them down. Come on people..We have got to get ourselves together ( We could possibly have a black president in the US in ONE month)
I’ll leave on this note: If you are not a fan of BRANDY, BEYONCE, USHER of WEEZY F, then go on to the next story. Blacks hating on other blacks for no reason is TIRED!
i use to be a bey fan untile she over did every damn thing and to the person that said Ashanti cd was better is telling the truth that girl has come along way. i love her and brandy now. that’s real music.
CAN SOMEONE PLS GIVE BRANDY SOME EYEDROPS BEFORE SHE TAKES PICS!
Cmon now It will come a time for Beyonce to take a much longer break but hey she stil is in demand #1 on FORBES list for Top Artist. So dont hate her hustle HATE THE GAME! Same with Weezy and the TPAIN he is more saturated then ANY Aritst and with his voice recorder. Hey if its working for them I wish them the best and continue it as long as possible!!! Brandy she does have nice music but something lately she isnt making a big enough impact, so I wont be suprised if her stuff doesnt do so well and get recingtion this time around either.Her face does seem over photoshopped. Usher good luck on tour but wont see me there!
WOW ppl on here is FUNNY!!! Please can we stop degrading one another especially successful beautiful talented artists. Especially black artists. I must admit the Brandy Horse Teeth with Horse hair to match had me ROTFLMAO!! Then the statement is Human the name of her HAIR LOL.
Brandy is the epitome of flawless in that picture. She’s really bringing it this era. Beyonce needs to take an extended break.
Did anyone not notice that beyonce is the richest female popstar in the world after Madonna? How big is that? Stop being haters and recognize success. Whether you like her or not she is still 10 times richer than you and gas an impact in music globally. As much as we all love brandy you can’t compare she is just an average rnb artist. You’re in denial if you think she’s made a significant mark in entertainment. This is 2008 not Moesha days
GO HEAD BRANDY AND BEY!!!!!!!!!
Damn Beyonce stay bringing that! Go girl!
Mark, you speak the truth #24…People need to learn when to let some things go – especially the accident! I am glad to see Brandy is back – and I love the cover, she looks beautiful.
can’t wait for Beyonce new music!
Bey is really trying to be like CeeCee. Dang she couldnt do another song title?!!!
**I ready to hear hear Brandy’s album.
**Beyonce I trust will take over 08′ and 09′. I’ll be at the concert next summer too
**I might see Usher like someone said we’re in a middle of a recession depends on
**depends on the price cause Jay is having a concert at the House of Blues and ***that’s $185!!!!
BRANDY’S BACK TO MURDER ALL THESE STUPID R&B HOES LOL
Beyonce- blah blah blah I’m not excited
Usher- LMAO, wow the intimate setting deal huh Ush?? Sorry bud. That new “Trading Places” video IS hot tho! Gotta give you that, but thats not gonna help sell records of your worst album to date lol
Wayne- hmm, I’m a little skeptical about this one. Carter III was great and topping that one will be hard. But then again, I thought topping Carter II was impossible but he did it.
******* I am stilled pissed at them really trying to push that T-Wayne cd ugh
LOVE YOU BRANDY!!
Cant wait for “Human” to drop
YAY for Brandy’s return…def buyin dat album on Nov 11
YAY for Brandy’s return…def buyin dat album on Nov 11
Beyonceeeee!!!!!! I luv you…… ya album is gonna b crazy… and your droping everything so close together… I guess you know already we aint gonna let you dwn… ill buy ya album without even hearing it or seeing a video… can’t wait till you start bringing real performances to award shows again.. Everyone is so stiff now n days and can’t sing………
GOD I LUV BRANDY GOD LI LUV BEYONCE, GOD LI LUV USHER, hahaha, seriously tho, they r like my top artists!! this is an exciting year 4 music — I LUV USHERS cd, its fantastic !!!!!
Get you facts right @ Cupcake!!! Thats was for one years earnings, there are so many more female superstars out there who have an overall estimated worth more than Beyonce. She did her thing for that year but she is playing marbles when it comes to individual estate worth..get them facts right.
I’m so excited for the new album & tour from Beyonce!! Looks like i’ll be purchasing the deluxe edition of the album, & i gotta start saving for the tour tickets, cuz i missed the beyonce experience, i’m NOT missing this one!!
& for all of the Beyonce haters…She loves u too!! lol.
#74 CUPCAKE….if you don’t think Brandy has had a significant mark on the entertainment industry than clearly you know NOTHING about the entertainment industry and EVEN LESS ABOUT GOOD MUSIC!!!!!!
I think its irresponsible for Usher to have a tour stop on election day
JUST BECAUSE AN ALBUM IS PLATINUM DOESN’T MEAN THAT ITS GOOD!!!
#91 MAYA….I think he planned the tour date on purpose…look where he will be WASHINGTON DC…..I think that was intentionally done.
Beyonce is overkill, if she is the baddest then there is no reason to release two songs on the same day, two videos premiering back to back, a deluxe album, a world tour in 5months…..I mean dang, she shouldnt have to promote so hard, I can see if this were Ciara, K.Cole, or Ashanti but B tries to take over way to hard to be seen. In honest opinion I dont think her sales will be through the roof, you have Britney, Brandy, Monica, and Ciara coming so this will be interesting. Please dont come at me with no hater nonsense, no one is talking about her looks or personal life, keep it easy!
I cant wait for Brandy, she took a much needed break and I think she will do well this time around. Brandy had a strong fan base in the 90′s and she never got the just due that she deserved . Til this day I still listen to Best Friend, Brokenhearted w/Wan-ye, and some Moving on,

sorry for double post, is there something wrong with the site?
Glad to have you back Brandy.
Beyonce’s getting BORING
Lil Wayne No Comment.
Ever since Usher married that s@#t his career has gone down the drain. He should’ve NEVER cheated on Chili.
Nice Brandy cover. Looking forward to hearning the rest of her music.
That’s more like a humble tour than an intimate one Ursh.
I wonder how Wayne’s new music is going to sound?
Is necessary for Beyonce to shoot two videos before we even hear the singles? Arrogance or confidence? Most artists leak a couple songs to see which ones will be favored more, not Beyonce! She’s actually telling you what you will like and what will be hot. I am not mad.
wtf!!Why are yall hating on Brandy for?!Talkin bout how she look like a horse with horse hair!!!Leave Brandy alone!!!Some of yall just jealous that you can’t look as good as Ms. Brandy does!!!BRANDY IS BACKKKK,SO GET USED TO THIS!!!
beyonce is doin a bit much i was disappointed in bday 11 songs? she needs 2 bring it cause competiton is heavy brandys back…monica coming back….keyshia coming…ciara coming….and rhianna will be back @ the top of 09 so this queen B needs to bring some substance to her music and we need to hear a different sound….Brandy looks great im glad she back TO SHOW BEYONCE RHIANNA ASHANTI CIARA AND THE OTHER NEW COMERS WAT IT IS TO BE AN ICON
I love Brandy to death and I cannot wait until November 11th!!! She’s back…ugh!!! I just know the album is gonna sh!t bricks!!
i so love brandy, beyonce cd havent even came out yet and her ass talking bout a deluxe addition
bran bran looks so hot i love her new look and sound
Beyaki just can’t get enough herself. Blah-Day was a flop becuz it waz her second album and didn’t top her first since she is supposed to be the baddest whatever. As for Forbes money list, her pappy prostituted her in every market, so of course but that is not other artist goals, they wanna get paid but not gonna trip and fall down stairs face first for a dollar. NObody even hyped about Beyaki anymore anyway. She is corny with her teeny bopper fans.
Beyonce does all of that because that’s what her fans what. She’s been out long enough to know her fans. Every album she’s put out her fans have loved.
Also every artist plans out 6months to a year of things they need to do but because people all in her business they researched it so now we all know…
Beyonce’s worth is the highest of any black artist. Mary would be but don’t do as much.
Beyonce toured 90 cities who else u know does that??
Everybody on this post needs to grow up I love Brandy that’s my girl she is an amazing artist. Beyonce is a good artist too. Will people please stop bringing up the accident it’s lame as well as the whole forbes thing we know Brandy got into an accident guess what so does everybody in this world. We know Beyonce is rich so is other celebrities. My point is this whole hating needs to stop Brandy stans and Beyonce stans.
Yeah Brandy!!!!!!! Lookin good!!! Cant wait for the cd to drop. “Right Here” is going soo hard. Brandy has always been in my opinion one of the best artists in the game. Vocally what she can do is amazing.
And I’m glad Beyonce is comin back too. I don’t feel like it’s over kill. She’s good for the music game. I can’t wait to see how her sound changes on this album. She changes it up every album
And the Usher cd went hard…I didn’t consider it a flop at all.
And Lil Wayne…keep makin them hits mayne. I actually would spend money on anything these four artists put out and thats sayin a lot these days.
And to all the haters…say whatever you want. Some of ya’ll are even funny, but just make sure you go buy Brandy CD on Nov. 11 so you don’t feel left out. I’m a bigger Brandy fan, but I will be buying Beyonce cd the following week cuz she is down right talented.
The lord knows good, damn and well that I love Beyonce. But she is doing TOO much! The 2 singles at once, the Deluxe album releasing the same day as the standard album? That’s just crazy. Don’t get me wrong, I would most likely buy both, but I think it’s just a LITTLE bit too much, just a little.
Brandy looks amazing! Although, I don’t really like the album cover… I can’t wait to hear her album though!
& The Carter 4? Where’s the creativity…come up with a new album title, already Wayne! The same thing goes for Jay-Z with Blueprint…whatever number it is.
& at #78.
Ciara is NOT the only artist who came up with a song about being a boy. Come on now…
After looking at Brandy’s pics i cant lie and say that she doesnt look nice.
and thats about it.
she has been gone for wayyyyyyyyyy to long to try and come back now..people have forgotten about her && on top of that NOBODY CARES.
beyonce is the same way. shes married now, maybe she needs to just chill out with the music thing for a while..try and start a family or something.
LLIL WAYNE!!!! oh snap, i cant wait for his new album..i LOVE ME SOME HIM & anything by him. plus he teaming up with my babeee T-PAIN, hell yeahh.
I will be buying that albumm..well i might. l0l.
b
Brandy looks beautiful. Hope her album does well
Beyonce is a work-a-holic. I’m not mad though lol

Brandy is being underrated by people who cannot even dream of having her talent, beauty and good fortune. Beyonce can hold her own but she needs to quit being a game hog. People are into her because they don’t have a choice…she’s everywhere! Now I won’t lie she too is beautiful but please stop tearing down Brandy for what she is not…an overdone black version of a white girl. Period!! Celebrate black success, that’s the least everyone can do. Oh by the way, Beyonce dresses tacky…way over the top. Brandy’s style is classic and timeless yet still current. Its a comparison not hatred. I wish them both success but I can’t wait for B-Rocka to hit the charts. Luv my girl Brandy.
