While working on her presently untitled sixth studio album, fan favorite Brandy decided to give her fans a little treat.
Check below to see a video of Brandy in her bathroom with no make-up on, singing a rendition “Somewhere Over the Rainbow,” from The Wizard of Oz, which is celebrating it’s 70th anniversary with a special DVD release just last Tuesday.
Although she is recording her sixth studio album, as well as a rumored album with brother Ray J., which is tentatively titled R&B, Brandy has split with Epic Records and Jay-Z’s Roc Nation management. Currently, she doesn’t have a major label situation, but it has been said that Brandy will announce something before 2009′s close.
50 CENT REVEALS 4th STUDIO ALBUM COVER
After a lot of set backs with singles, 50 Cent gives us a taste of what his album cover will look like for his fourth studio set, Before I Self Destruct, which is now slated to hit stores November 17th.
TIMBALAND ALBUM INFO
After the success and many singles from his last album, Shock Value, Timbaland has announced a release date on the follow-up.
The new album, Shock Value 2 is set for release on November 24th, with collaborations from newcomer Lady Gaga, friend and collaborator, Justin Timberlake as well as Shakira, Kings of Leon, Miley Cyrus, Daughtry, The Fray, and Paramore.
It was rumored that many more appearances were going to be on the album, including Brandy, Beyonce, Jay-Z, with whom Timbaland recorded a lot of material for The Blueprint 3 and Leona Lewis, but no word on whether or not those collaborations will make the album.
The first single from the album, which is said to debut sometime this month, will feature the Timbaland’s new French artist SoShy.
GO AHEAD BRANDY! SHE CAN BLOW..I’M DEF WAITING FOR HER CD..MY ALL TIME FAVORITE ARTIST. WE NEED ALL OUR OLD SCHOOL REAL R&B SINGERS BACK!
People will say anything to downplay the fact that this chick has talent. She is singing in a bathroom..and your point is? this chick is absolutely the best and she is only 30 looking like she is 25 she can come back and bring it harder than ever
Co~sign complete with mztx & Peyton…its enough room for everybody in the game. Why tear down one just because they ain’t your favorite? Brandy is/was the hottness but so is Keyshia, Jazzmine, Rihanna, Bey, and many others. I love what Peyton said about “real”. Its so true, that’s just like big women throwing shade at smaller women talking about well “I’m a real woman”…stop the bullshyt. Love what you love and give others that same freedom.

Don’t play Brandy. Every household knows her name.
She was a Big Deal.
Beyonce JUST “crossed over” with Single Ladies, and Bey is still not as big a deal as you’d like to believe. Her last album was crap.
BRANDY BETTA SANG!!!!!!!!!!
I love when artists just sing and saaaang they ass off. The studio sometimes makes them hold back like if she were to record that song it would be less adlibs but I love when they do a lot of adlibs. It sound so good just that raw talent!! Gone head. And quit bringing up other artists. Let that girl have her shine. I aint seen nobody but her and Jojo who will actually get on youtube and sing something. Until the rest of them do it BRANDY JUST KILLED IT. And i aint even a big fan but I just might be after this.
I wish all Beyonce stans would die!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL naw j/p
BUT IT WOULD BE NICE. I’m so sick of them. Give it a rest. This was Brandy’s moment. I don’t see Beyonce on youtube singing for yall asses. She just want your money. So why is she mentioned?????????
if she doesn’t have on make up. She is banger. She looks like she does though or maybe she really is that pretty!
JENNIFER KNOWS BEST, FIRST OF ALL, I’M LIGHT SKIN BITCH! AND WTH DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING SWEETIE. AFRICAN AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE BEAUTIFUL IN ALL SHADES BUT YOU WOULDNT KNOW THAT BECAUSE CLEARLY YOU HATE YOUR RACE, IF YOU BELIEVE MY COMMENT TOWARD YOU WAS BECAUSE I’M DARKSKIN! like I said before STOP KISSING BEYONCE’S ASS! She don’t know you!
Brandy sang her fucking ass off. ain’t NOBODY fucking with her. period. Best singer around!
Now you see—why does something that Brandy did for her fans have to be criticzed by people who obviously AREN’T her fans…nobody said Brandy was the best and nobody said she was better than beyonce—all her FANS are saying is that she doesnt need the smoke,lights,mirrors,dancing,and gimmicks to be who she is:A TALENTED ARTIST. Why do we always have to compare everyone to beyonce!!!!!!She is not the only person to get up on stage and dance around(TINA TURNER) she is not the originator of anything…..people just need to give credit where credit is due—–does beyonce not add ten minutes to dangerously in love with runs and extra stuff———-y is it when other people do stuff its showing off or oversinging or tryin to throw shade at someone—–but when beyonce does it yall go crazy smh……
I’ll understand the opinions people have about artists these days
WHY CANT BEYONCE AND RIHANNA AND CIARA AND BRANDY AND KERI HILSON ALL HAVE TALENT IN SOME WAY____WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE BEYONCE OR NO ONE ELSE??!!!!!
BRANDY, UR AMAZING AND KEEP DOING WHAT UR DOING FOR UR FANS LUV YA AND I CANT WAIT TO HEAR WAT U HAVE IN STORE FOR US NEXT!!!
@ TJ, really???? Beyonce been “crossed over” (as you put it)with DC. Sorry to hurt your feelings, she is way bigger than you think(I know it hurts you to believe this). Except facts.
And it is truly sad how “stans” of Beyonce and Brandy, will let Beyonce steal her (Brandy) thunder.
Beyonce stans are sad, but Brandy “so called fans” are sadder(the ones letting Bey consume them in this post).
Like who you like and forget the rest
Just because you have a good voice does not mean someone wants to see you on Youtube. LOL!
You can tell who is a Big Deal by the measure of their sibling’s celebrity
In order:
Michael = Janet (She became an Icon in her own right)
Brandy = Ray-J (He became a semi-celeb)
Beyonce = Solange (She’s a hobo baby momma with a haircut)
Brandy was a bigger deal during her peak. Period.
Who said that that girl could not sing? She sang that song!!!!!!
Cannot wait to hear BRANDYS vocals on TImbalands new album..I just know he will let her rip.. CANt fukin wait Brandy all the way baby
Goodness, to have a voice like Brandy’s. She’s so unique. There’s no other singer remotely like her. That’s real talent, the girl is amazing and it wins me over every single time. Love her!
@133
That kinda didn’t make any sense. I don’t see the point of adding MJ in there if you know Janet is a big star. You were contradicting your point by doing that.
But yeah Brandy can blow and nobody is denying that but watch how you word stuff. Don’t listen to the haters. The Beyonce stans only here because they KNOW Brandy can blow. Can’t none of them say she can’t sing and thats all that matters. Look @ 132. Thats probably a Beyonce stan but of course they will probably deny it.
@ 137
How did I contradict my point?
Michael is the biggest star, followed by Brandy, and followed by Beyonce (the least talented).
BRANDY>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>BEYONCE
BEYONCE IS NOT AS VERSATILE AS BRANDY.
BE MAD BEYONCE CLIT RIDERS, BUT ITS TRUE.
BRANDY HAS SOLD 25 MILLION WORLDWIDE W/O P**Y POPPIN OR SELLING HER SOUL TO THE DEVIL, WON OVER 100 AWARDS WORLDWIDE, FIRST TO PLAY A BLACK DISNEY CHARACTER, HIT TV SHOW,COVERGIRL MODEL & COUNTLESS OTHER ACCOMPLISHMENTS. ALL BEFORE 21!!
HATERS STAY ANGRY AND PUNCHING KEYS BECAUSE BRANDY LAUGHING AT U FACELESS HATERS. U DONT MATTER!!! LOLOL

PREACH! BRANDY LOOKS YOUNGER THAN BEYONCE FOR DAMN SURE.
BEYONCE LOOK 45.
Brandy looked pretty and sounded great. My only complaint was she was moving around just a bit too much, it was distracting from the song.
@Diva1Up that has nothing to do what I said. Again, looks & style have nothing to do with how far you come in the industry. Somewhere down the line you actually have to have talent quite simple. Kim just wants to be a ‘one hit wonder’. Anybody can get on a track & make it sound good she’s proof of that, but Brandy has been in the music business for years so she has paved her way & has showed how great her vocal abilities are. The reason she is so successful because she actually HAS talent. You can’t say that about most of these R & B chicks of today yes looks can take so far in the music business, some of these artists now are riding on their looks that doesn’t mean they’re gonna have a great career.
Brandy need to give it up, and go back to acting maybe.
Thank You Brandy…
Dismiss all negative comments B.
Their just not use to an Artist with an actual Gift.
Give them time.

LMAO at all the hate geared towards brandy. These beyonce fans are running scared because others including celebrities are giving brandy her props and dubbing her for being the best vocalist. brandy’s range may not be as high as Bee’s but technique wise she has it in the bag point blank period. Jennifer and Barbie you are two of the most ignorant and simple minded individuals. You are posting all these comments but they are all saying the same thing which makes me believe that you dont even think what you are saying is making since because if you did you wouldnt have to keep reiterating it! And the comment about lightskinned being in is getting played out! Jessica white is dark and she shits on bee in the face department!
Brandy is the one artist that I have been a true fan of all these years. I love all of her albums. Never have to cover your ears to listen to her. That’s true talent unlike the one track minded singers of today. Would love to hear her do a gospel album because alot of her songs can easily become gospel with a few lyric changes.
Brandy’s voice is straight BUTTA. SICK SICK SICK. I’ve always loved what she can do with her voice: her runs, vocal layering, harmonizes better than full blown singing groups. Just on point! I welcome any album from a true chick that started this sh*t!
Who do you think sounds amazing? @ #75, Ashanti? (uncontrollable laughter)
…BTW, how does Beyonce become the subject of every single post that has to do with another female. I love Beyonce, but ya’ll gotta give her titties a rest cus some of ya’ll hanging waaaayy too tight….gooottt daayyyuummm lol.
Brandy is SICK for that!The best in the game!
I just cant believe some of these comments from the bey fans. How was Brandy not big
when not only did she have her own TV show, but Never Say Never sold more than ANY Beyonce album, The Boy is Mine was #1 longer than ANY Beyonce single, she was a Covergirl, she was the 1st black Cinderella, she had dolls, she was JUST as big as Bey, and its not over. I love both, but this hate needs to stop
Brandy is new legend. Each album is a classic.Her voice is technically flawless. She has stood the test of time in this industry…all without taking her clothes off. That’s my girl! Can’t wait for the next album
Brandy is a soulful vocalist whose mature-sounding early performances belied her young age, Brandy’s music made liberal use of modern hip-hop influences while her signing style often recalled vintage R&B!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
can’t judge anything by its cover nowadays…. i loved 50s first album he definitely went in… hope this ones good, it will have been along time if it is… but i will definitly be catching it on youtube or somewhere; i prolly won’t be copping. i still haven’t copped B.P.3 yet so nothing else will come before that, or possibly after for that matter.
Brandy’s voice is timeless! Smh at the Bey stans feeling the need to bring Bey in here to compare… can’t we love BOTH women? geeze!
too bad Brandy got dropped though. The industry doesn’t support real singers anymore, that’s a well-known fact. All you need is a hit(w/ toooons of autotune) and the perfect image. I saw CiCi tweet this saying Brandy’s one of her fav singers. keep it up B!
I actually like 50′s cover. I guess i’m the only one who is sort of looking foward to his album..?
Timbaland is not my cup of tea.
Brandy sounded AWESOME! (as usual) Beyonce fans need to fall back!…..there are other BRILLIANT singers out there.
Can’t wait for Tim’s project, last one rocked.
50 cent……….. I don’t know hommie.
Love the Cover.
Brandy you definitely need to let me write some songs for you. your voice is beautiful as always.
Brandy sounds AMAZING! not sure if she got all those words right though! lol and No make up? Yeah right! Love you Brandyboo!!
Why is it that people say that they don’t care but blog??? I really don’t understand, I work hard and I am happy, blessed and comfortable in my own skin. I don’t idolize artist, but I love to hear new music, look at fashion and watch my favorite artist because they inspire me. If I really don’t like them i still respect their hustle but keep it moving and will not waste my time talking about how irrelevant and waste negative energy bashing their accomplishments……..
Brandy – I love your voice and have always been a fan of your music. Your earlier songs take me through events in my life. I have not bought your album since full moon. My friends and I played the album over and over but thanks to this site, I will be purchasing your upcoming material when it is released….. Don’t let negative things and people stop your shine and remember “Hurt people Hurt people” Those negative people can continue to feed evil into the world until they fall within their graves…..
Love Brandy she looks do pretty in the video. Love her vocals as usual. People always have to find something to hate on, when they have nothing useful going on in their lives. Dont spread negativity please!!!! Love Brandy! Cant wait til the next project!!!!
brandy must be paying her people overtime to comment on here lol.. Brandy sounds good now… I grew up listening to brandy, listening to her perform live …(the boy is mine Monica blew her out the water) where was her range then… the girl finally got smart and got some singing lessons and wanted to show off…. not that I blame her she does sound good… Now that is
whosai!! Ms. Bran Bran, This is not, I repeat NOT how you become the “IT” girl again. It’s 2009, Who is advicing this girl? Nice vocals..? Can actually sing?, impeccable runs? natural, beautiful voice, no autotune? no screaming, your titties aint hanging out your shirt, aint coochie popping, acting like you lost your mind? no booty pads..? !! forever trying to have an hourglass figure? Girl, NO! Somebody please advice this girl!! lol..
Brandy looked and sounded incredible!
Brandy is a BEAST! I love her. She’s my favorite singer. She did this video for her fans, and I truely thank her for it. she is always givin’ us little treats LOL. Brandy is not the kind of celebrity that is stand-offish to her fans. She is very down to earth. She acutally chills with many of her fans. On Brandy’s fanboard, many of the the fans tell their stories about them meeting Brandy, and listening to tracks with her. LOL wow! She calls some of her fans. She’s a cool chick. I hope i get to meet her one day.
Oh and she’s from MIssisssiippi so she’s a homegirl.
Brandy needs to drop an album that would hit the TOP of the charts again. She has FALLIN off BIG time. There is too much competition in the industry now to be dropping albums with “AAIGHT” songs on it.
Why is it when a singer comes on here people compare them to Beyonce? Dont get me wrong she is a bery attractive woman and all..But as we all know even Oprah can go to the same guy and get the same make-up and buy her ass just as well. STOP putting her on the top list she is not the number 1 girl in the world
@Jenniferknowsnothing! How u gonna say that black women that do not have European features should not wear weave?? So because my skin is dark and I dont have a str8 nose I should take my weave out? Im a good shade and a half darker than brandy and I look damn good in str8 or curly weave. I love being dark and wouldnt change if I could.
Lighter skinned women do get ahead in the industry. There are dark skinned women who make it……but we dont get the stardom that beyonce….rihanna and ciara get. Like my man said…..some of these crabs need to climb out of the barrel and move around…..see shit for what it really is.
and yeah, its a white mans world still……but who said we had to go along with it. Jenniferknowsbest is a fucking idiot. I dont hate on light skinned women cuz im dark. Im pretty and my best friends are all redbones. I get just as much attn if not more from men…..white or black, as they do. I guarantee if Brandy was Beyonce’s complextion and didnt have the morals her momma instilled in her….she would have been on that level a long time ago.
Then u gonna bring up her accident…..You saying she doesnt have a conscience and shouldnt be singing. Im sure her soul aches everyday for that mistake….but she has to live too.
Girl you r a fucking idiot….
