14. Have You Ever?
From Never Say Never
Average: 8.12
The 2nd (US) single from Never Slay Never. It was also Brandy's first song written by legendary pop writer Diane Warren. The song actually managed to go #1 for two weeks and took the spot from Britney's BOMT (or maybe took it off the top spot, I don't remember).
I love this song a lot. Me and supa agree that it's one of Diane Warren's best, but he goes further and says "Only Brandy could get me to suspend my distaste enough to enjoy a Diane Warren power ballad this much. Too bad the rest of the song can’t match the lush subtlety of those opening harmonies and instead indulges her usual bombastic tendencies."
I disagree. I think the song finishes off perfectly. Although I don't enjoy it as much as I did, say 3 years ago, I still think it's an amazing song and perfect for Brandy. The way she sings, she really gives it her all and that's all I need from her 
Fun fact about this song: Although it was used in many movies/TV shows, the most iconic and probably most desperate is the time it was on Moesha.  The episode, titled "Brandy Meets Moesha" has Moesha (played by Brandy) meet her favorite singer who she bears a striking resemblance to: Brandy. It's basically about how they got tickets to the Brandy concert but Kim lost them, so they have to try to sneak in and have Moesha pretend to be Brandy. Even the embarrassment mistakes Moesha for Brandy (I wonder why). The episode ends with Brandy lipsyncing to Have You Ever.
I would link the episode but the quality is HORRENDOUS, so just take my word for it
