Looks like somebody is ready to take her rightful place! R&B singer Brandy performed at the 2011 South African Sports Awards on Sunday evening (August 21) at Sun City, North West Province.

Ms. Norwood pulled a Fantasia and performed barefoot while singing a medley of songs like “Afrodisiac” and “Right Here (Departed)” from her Afrodisiac and Human albums. Gone ‘head, Brandy! Bout time!

As we told you on Monday, the star recently inked a new deal with Sony Music (LINK). Excited to see what she has in stores this go round.

      Probably as boring as your face.

      I just paid $22.87 for an iPad2-64GB and my girlfriend loves her Panasonic Lumix GF 1 Camera that we got for $38.76 there arriving tomorrow by UPS. I will never pay such expensive retail prices in stores again. Especially when I also sold a 40 inch LED TV to my boss for $675 which only cost me $62.81 to buy. Here is the website we use to get it all from, HitPenny.çom

    I love Brandy but she can never get her hair right smh.

  2. Tumelo

    She was awesome! She must come back and give us a proper show! Trey Songz is here can’t wait to see what he does! Bran-Bran shutitdown though! Much respect to her!

  3. DenoStarr

    BRANDY da QUEEN! Imma need you to not lip sync tho boo!

    • Jeff

      suck face it was live.

    • Sasamina

      Yep, that was live. I noticed it right away and she sounded good. The only complaint I have is that wig and that awful moo-moo thing she had on…oh and yeah, the performance was boring, too. She needs to learn how to dance or something. Her voice is still there though. Was the crowd even rockin with her?

    • REALLY

      mofo sit all the way down with obvious hate. Brandy has no need for backing tracks, lip syncing, etc. She comes from a time when you needed talent to have record deal. Her records sales b/c of that flawless voice you just heard and accused of being recorded. Take note puta!

  4. Jeff

    Yo. This shit was good. Im proud of brandy, she sings live, she sings well. The show had a flow to it, enough dancing to sustain the eye but not too much to seem like she was trying to hard. very well done. i enjoyed it. I forgot how essential she was to R&B. Rihanna said it best, her vocals are epic. I fucks wit you brandy.

  5. savt1st

    it is boring, her uptempo performances do nothing for me, and her ballads almost go there, but still fall flat. I do not see no major comeback, unless she is just sitting on a stool like Adele singing heartfelt songs out.

    • john

      Thats becuz people are soooo consumed with the image and not that talent.. that girl can sing better than 98% of the industry and yall still hate/

    • kiddontplay

      Who are you and why are allowed a comment!!!!!!!The show was great, Brandy sings better than the industry Stop hating!!!If she wanted to dance around, sit down, do whatever its fine she is one of the best in the industry!!!!!!!!That was old music, and it was great!!!It was nothing else left to do but what she did and that’s sing!!! Go Brandy!!!Up set all the haters with your raw Talent!!!!To be honest, Brandy and Beyonce are the only two who I know can do that live and do it well!!!Brandy been singing and dancing since she was a young girl!!!!!Her comeback is not left up to you!!!!!!!She can sit on your face and still sing great!!!!!!!

  6. Derrick

    She looks like Kelly in that pic…

  7. overyourheads

    Go Brandy! Good for you! Rooting for you!

  8. mack

    sing Brandy! closest thing to the ‘original’ Whitney we have left!

  9. AHRTOFGOLD29

    Bring it B! I love Brandy and I am so rooting for her to get her career back on track.

  10. chitown

    It look like the crowd was so bored with her performance.

  11. Bakara

    She needs to stop all this pre-recording nonsense. I just can’t support that anymore boo.

    Give us them power vocals you record in your bathroom – on this new album AND on stage!!

    • kiddontplay

      That was all the way live, the crowd was South Africans!!!!they probably didn’t even understand the language/lyrics of the song!!!Brandy is a power house talent ann her voice is most relevent in industry!!!!!!She is the best, paved the way for artist you see today, and can still hang with them and be better!!!!!I have found out that haters are going to be haters!!!!!

    • REALLY

      That’s when you know you f*cking with a winner man (real singer)…ppl accuse you of lip sync b/c its that tight. Get B Rocka!

  12. WerQ What

    I guess South Africa loves them some Brandy??? Who knew?! Lol

  13. MIA

    I don’t think anyone knows how MUCH i love this woman, so I am going to be honest.
    I hated her outfit… that DRESS did nothing for her. Didn’t her stylist see that did nothing for her?
    ALSO, I don’t ever wanna see her dance like that again. THIS is Brandy, a R&B icon. I need to see her act like the DIVA she is ( when it comes to stage presence).
    ALSO, Those tears away shorts her dancers where wearing? NO….. NO NO NO NO…… (those costumes sucked too) lol

    Anyways, Brandy, I love you soooo much girl. I really wanna see you kill this new album and things of that nature. You’re beautiful and that voice is original. Give it to me mama.

    love ya much CL xxxo

    • kiddontplay

      Sorry you are not a fan then!!!!The costume was not her idea!!!!!They flew her over, she song they came up with the whole show!!!!!We all know Brandy would never wear nothing like that!!!In fact the African ppl thought of all that, she just did the job and delievered!!!!!the costume was very african inspired!!!!!!Damn ppl are so dumb!!!!!

  14. cuz

    For those who think this is prerecorded you need to look and listen again.. anything to take the fact away that brandy is NEVER off key…. and pitch and tone is perfect.. her ear for her riffs and runs are tremendous STOP THE HATE its destroying the world

    • REALTALK 101

      For those who can’t clearly see that she is “NOT” singing I want you to know that you are the epidomy of an ignorant consumer cause Miss Bran is surely lipping. At least if she’s gonna lip she shouldn’t wear her mom’s house dress the next time. Give us sexiness or some crazy choreography at least.

    • Jeff

      i want you to know, your dumb as fuck dude…im so fuckin tired of talentless people talking shit. even if she was, shes trying to better her life. do things that make her happy. why the fuck would you rain on that parade…that makes you a hater, a bigomist, and a fuckin retard. get a life. brandy i fucks wit you.

    • hollywood!!!

      lol @ realtalk… can’t call people ignorant right after spelling a word wrong… and what is ‘lipping’? Rewrite!!!

    • REALLY

      Mugs so use to current day artist who lip sync, utlize backing tracks and these new age kids hear a vet in the game and sound flawless they automatically think their vocals are pre-recorded. This is my third comment on this post b/c I am shocked and appalled (lmao!) that ppl don’t know brandy don’t fucks up vocally. That’s what she’s know for. That’s why she is still to this day respected by her peers current and past for vocal ability. To my youngins that are growing up with this current bs (music they call it) this right here is what you call TALENT!

  15. r&bwonder

    Personally… i think for someone who hasn’t graced a stage to perform her songs in lord knows how long.. I think this was a great performance. I’m hyped to see more and wonder why has it been so long? So much better than the nonsense I’ve seen lately coming from other “artists”. She was great. I can’t wait for a comeback and who cares what the haters have to say. eff em cuz they aren’t supporting u anyway…lol

  16. Monique

    Love you Brandy, can’t wait til the album drops :)

  17. dee dee

    She killed it, there is no one in her age group who can even touch her, that’s nothing but raw talent! Do that thang Brandy! She’ll always be a favorite of mine!

  18. tj

    I love B too. She can do no wrong. Just love her. Period and point blank.

  19. LOVE

    I believe in Brandy!! this Performance Just showed me that She is on her way… Dont compare her to anyone else, Her talent is Just Special. Her voice just does something to me. Im rooting for you Brocka.. Love YA!

  20. NICK

    BRANDY IS REAL R&B-PERIOD!!!! ALWAYS LOVED HER & ALWAYS WILL, all her albums are good-solid from start to finish! LOVE HER!!!!

  21. Sedrick

    I really like Brandy’s voice and always have. Brandy was a 90′s HIT!! From music to movies, Brandy was everything. However, If she does try to make a “comeback”, she will be “comingback” for the love of music and not for the coins, because she will not sell.

  22. MaryMaryQuiteContrary

    Yes Brandy! Cannot wait for the new album- love her!

  23. BipolarWorld

    Wow, that was great Brandy! I was just glad to see her on stage performing, and was really nice!

  24. Stop hating noobs

    Wow people love to hate no matter what..this is just a medley of her old music and the dance flow goes with the songs..i mean give her a break..this was a good performance and you can see she singing from her heart. Of course her new material will be different along with her style and dance moves. Stop hating!

    • kiddontplay

      Thank You!!!You have said the best thing on here!!!The music was old the performance was Good, the Styling was that of a South African!!!We all know Brandy would never wear that, but the whole show was put together by a South African person, Brandy song the hell out all the songs!!!There were no vocal errors and she did not lip sync!!!!!!!!!POW The R&B Princess is back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  25. The Hater

    Sony electronics is falling behind competitors and Sony music will be sure to follow if they keep putting money behind yesterday’s acts.

    That performance was about nothing.

    • kiddontplay

      AND!!!!You aint nothing,as a matter fact you aint shyt!!You don’t even matter, because your name is Hater!!!Stupid little simple person!!!Brandy is a beast,and if you like it or not She is Brandy sings better than so many, and delete your self!!!!Why comment if you have nothing good to say STupid!!!!!!!!

  26. ay

    She’s trying to force charisma on the stage….that aint you Brandy.

    • kiddontplay

      What forcing!!!She’s doing what she did when she was 15teen performing if anything she has grown!!!!!!!That’s About it that’s not forced!!!The girl is worth more than you X12!!!So lets not post stupid comments!!!!!

  27. Quick

    Loved it. Brandy’s voice is almost perfection.

  28. Nia

    This is the alien that ran up on the stage comment.

  29. RealWoman

  30. Q*U*E*E*N

  32. Aaliyah2001

    I almost can’t wait for this new album. HURRY UP BRANDY!!

  33. Jrock

    Most people that are over Brandy no nothing about absolute raw and real TALENT! This girl can do things with her voice that NO ONE ELSE in the biz can (any musically inclined person will tell you that). I wish her and welcome new music for her.

  34. Jrock

    *know (sorry). *I wish her well (i type too fast).

  35. Musicfan

    I love Brandy, but if she’s going to come back strong she can’t lip her whole performance. She has a beautiful voice. In order for people to really get that she’s going to have to show it for real.

    • kiddontplay

      Brandy did not lip nothing OMG!!!Stop it!!!!!Brandy song live and killed it!!!!!!!This show was a practice show for what is to come from Brandy get ready!!!from the looks of it, someone will have to set down for a minute!!!Because Brandy has been waiting on this!!!And her time is here!!!!!You wanna see lip sync, go watch this years BET Awards..hint> Not Brandy for a lyp sync!!!!!

  36. Everett

    Damn Brandy looks good. Love her music. She’s needed BADLY, esp with the horrid stuff on radio today. Good news!

    LOL there are artists who can’t even sing and you support them hard. at least we know that Brandy can sing. you are guys are mess. just stop with all that mess. Brandy girl do your thing. these people will not support you anyways. just support your favorites. my goodness.

  39. Marc

    She sounded amazing on the 2 live songs. The first was obviously lipped because of the dancing, I guess. She clearly has gained her confidence back after years of hardship and shit. I’m definitely rooting for her!

  40. Dee

    I live in South Africa and watched this performance LIVE on national TV. As you know, it will sound and look better than you seeing it through the lens of some cellphone recording the TV, ha, ha, ha!!

    A few FACTS: She DID NOT lip sync!!! Brandy’s voice (as so many people on this thread recognise) never fails to shine. It is beautiful and natural with no added extra effects to make it sound like something it isn’t. There is a difference between a backing track and lip syncing. The former only serves to bring the background vocals into the music…NOT THE LEAD SINGING TOO. So please. Did you see any bakground singers up on that stage? NO. So case closed.

    And yes all the people who say she killed it are spot on. Just to reiterate, SHE KILLED IT. The outfit was beautiful (sparkly and a breath of fresh air as it was not booty-revealing yet it was SEXY and allowed her room to dance freely) and prefectly suited to her uptempo performance (that’s what it was) and being barefoot as it was the first time I had actually seent Brandy attempt to incorporate discernible dance moves into her act and she nailed it…BAREFOOT AND ALL!!!!

    I am really getting pissed off at the fact that people would go in on Bran Bran like this when she was pitch perfect (off-key? NEVER) and as one comment noted, her riffs and runs were effortless. Plus she rocked the choregraphy, simple as it was. She was in the groove and it shone through…there was just no denying it. Twitter timelines in South Africa were buzzing after that performance and a couple million people can’t be wrong.

    Support your girl back home now that’s she going to bring out some new music cos that girl right there is a REAL SANGER!

  41. Imagemakers

    I AM A BRANDY FAN! But yes that was not American style TV production. She was definitely singing live and proved it more than once. She did have a vocal track to keep her on track to breathe. But that was 90% her. And it was pitch perfect. She doesnt need to move though! She can just give Tall Skinny Chocolate DIVA!!!

    • kiddontplay

      Thank You so much!!!!!For Telling these ppl this was an African Stage production, not American so the Clothing, the no shoes, and all that was not Brandy’s Idea!!!I’ve seen Brandy do this before, not like that but she can deliever and vocally she killed!!!!Thanks for a true comment!!!!

    • keepinitrealladies

      Please do not say this child was not singing live again..Please DON’T DO IT or KIDDONTPLAY might fall the fuck out…LOL

  42. Tristan

    Saying it was a great performance would be an understatement. She delivered vocally and as far as stage presence goes, Brandy owned it. I look forward to seeing more performances from her like this because the girl has clearly proven that she came a force in today’s industry as well.

  43. Vicky beyoynce

    lol she cant dance

  44. Diamond Latrelle

    Looks like Brandy did an excellent job in performnace & singing wist. No sure about the outfits and hair. Still waiting for a new album from her. She’s one of my favorite vocalist.

  45. Go Brandy!

    She did a very good job performing and singing. She really have the potential to come back on top like she was, all she have to do is start grinding and keep her music style without getting caught up in this new music trend shit. She good, her voice is unique, her look is unique, she is unique. I hope sony get her back to where she needs to be.

  46. juice

    i will only say one thing cuz im tired of going on and on about brandy but i live for everything she do she makes chills run up in down my dpine everytime her name is mention or a video or a performance of her is being revealed she is with out a doubt the best in i dont care who dont like it honey go tell somebody who cares but remeber come for someone who you can come for cuz half you haters aint got a penny in your bankaccount righttttttttttt coming for a bitch who was a millionare b4 she was grown go kill ur self

  47. kickup

    yes She delivered and then some considering that she is reconditioning. This is only a WARMUP she is trying to get back into the SWING of things and the only way to do that is through PRACTICE. This chick is hella Talented and Im definitely gonna support her new upcoming project. GET it BRAN!! That voice is PLATINUM!!

  52. Jerrian

    Even if Brandy is Lipping to some prerecorded vocals, it doesn’t take away she is one of the best voices of OUR time, and we all know she can sing live….#teambrandy

  53. buy traffic for my website

    Hello my family member! I wish to say that this article is amazing, nice written and include approximately all significant infos. I’d like to see more posts like this .

  54. odone

    I just saw the performance and she was sensational as always. I loved her take on African attire. She doesn’t need to be half naked like Beyounce and Ryhanna, she has it like that. Brandy is a very beautiful black girl without trying to look white, like Beyounce and you black people love Beyounce. Beyounce clearly wants to be seen as somebody not black. Brandy is clearly not lip-syncing. I thought she looked adorable,cute,sexy and very beautiful. Her beautiful,flawless legs shown perfectly even without the six-inch heels . I love you our little black Marilyn Monroe.
