Discussion: Why does ATRL deny that Brandy was ever big? - Page 3

LovingYourCareer

In the Music Industry? I never heard much praise however, I heard she is a talented actress.

Nope she was big worldwide for an R&B artist.

LMAO @ "no classics" when The Boy Is Mine is the biggest collaboration between two female artists ever. Poor Whitney and Mariah.

Roman Holiday

Because they're willfully ignorant. She's was the princess of RnB. She had a huge young girl fanbase between her music and Moesha.

Wonderland

Because she was an R&B artist from the 90's and that's too far back for ATRLers to even think about.

ATRL's "Year 0" was when BOMT was released

HA! She did on your fav

Q:Going into your new CD, did you feel pressure to make a great album rather than a few great singles?

A: This time around, I just wanted to make an album that people could listen to from beginning to end without skipping any because it’s always a waste of time me going to the studio to record a song and then people skip it. When I buy an album I hate when I have to skip songs and I just have two songs to listen to. Brandy’s Afrodisiac album really helped to inspire that as well, because that album I listen to all day, all night. When I was in the studio that was the album that I listened to all the time and I really admired that every song was a great song. You could listen to the entire album. And I was like, ”You know what? I have to make an album like this.”

Brandy was bigger than Katy Perry and Kesha at her peak so...

The biggest Kii is that all of your faves are inspired and idolize the Queen. Brandy's impact is bigger than ANY of your faves because she's one of the ONLY popstars to hit every mark.

Iconic Song?
The Boy Is Mine (13 weeks at #1 & the 2nd most successful duet of all time according to Billboard)
I Wanna Be Down (Iconic debut still covered today. Biggest song by a female teen at the time)

Iconic Album?
Full Moon (Massive impact and heiled as the "Vocal Bible")
Never Say Never (Classic 5x Platinum Album)

Iconic Movie?
Cinderella (First Black Disney Princess to have a Barbie Doll)
I Still Know What You Did Last Summer (Box Office success & Brandy's character inspired Brenda from Scary Movie [FACT] )

Iconic TV show?
Moesha (Inspired The Parkers, Scream Queens and thousands of other sitcoms)
The Game (Biggest Series on BET)

Iconic Broadway Role?
Chicago (Starred as Roxie Hart with a lot of acclaim. Due to popular demand, she'll be back on the stage in the spring of 2016)

Iconic Look?
Brandy's Braids are iconic & is her signature look.

Iconic Family?
Brother Ray-J has a top 10 album, Massive hits & is responsible for Kim Kardashian's career.

She WINS. None of your faves have this. Keep seething ATRL bottoms.

Also as for being Global, Brandy is known around the world.

Along with having a slew of hits in the UK, Australia & across Europe there's more.

Watch how everyone in this SOLD OUT CONCERT in Africa knows every word.

Along with that, she has toured Japan and various other countries around the world. BRANDY IS GLOBAL.

I've literally never heard of her until I came to atrl so...

Brandy is a legend.

The others wish they had a 1-2 album punch
as good and innovative as Full Moon - Afrodisiac.

Reaper

Because she's mostly forgotten by now. No lasting impact

Brandy may have outsold 60,000 more copies for "2/11" in comparison to "New Life", but it's still not much to brag about either. She sells slightly more, yet no hit singles?

And wasn't Monica booked to sing the national anthem for the highly televised "Floyd Mayweather" boxing fight? Wasn't she the first artist to have #1 album's on the R&B/Hip-Hop charts in the 90s, 00s, and 10s? And has garnered 6 nominations for her work this decade, including 2 Grammy nominations?

So sorry, but no. You can stan for Brandy to the gawds, but she is not more relevant than Monica for awhile now.

Good effort though.

Wow, these SIX YEAR OLD Receipts. This is the only time Monica caught up with Brandy, And then she got DEMOLISHED again, Pretty sure I addressed this already. lkdfmlsafm

Fact is Brandy remains BOOKED & more RELEVANT than Monica.

Hence why she's still referenced, still featured on albums,still getting TV shows, still adding to her resume & still appearing on charts & is not debuting outside of the top 15 like Monica is.

& I'm Prett' sure Brandy won an award last year. Monica hasn't gotten one in 5. Sit.

Wow, yea.

Drag a bit, guys.

The crazy thing she actually was none of these girls had a barbie doll or a Television show or one of the biggest duets of all time. If you do you're research brandy was one of the only girls that was out really doing big things because in the R&B scene it was only Brandy, Monica and Aaliyah.
