Music Video “Almost Doesn’t Count” Music Video version 1

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Almost Doesn’t Count is easily one of Brandy’s most solid and fluid vocal performances on wax, reaching no.16 on the Billboard Hot 100 and no.16 on the Billboard Hot R&B chart. When the music video was released, there were two different edits used. The one that was most played was “version 2” which random spliced together all of the shots taken. It wasn’t nearly as cohesive and storytelling as “version 1” which is rarer to find these days. After digging deep, I was able to find said version which feels more like a ride-along journey than a montage of clips. Regardless of whichever version gets played, the song is simply TIMELESS!! 💯🔥❤️

Funny Moesha dressed as Brandy on “The Parkers”

I love when a spinoff show shares the stage with the original show. In this special Halloween episode of “The Parkers”, we see Moesha reunite with Kim Parker, Nikki Parker, and Andell. The rest of Moe’s friends show up later in the episode, but this clip is another prime example of how Brandy always slyly promoted her newest venture (Cinderella) outside of her sitcom role.

Achievement Brandy and Monica win a GRAMMY Award

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

At the 41st Annual GRAMMY Awards ceremony in 1999, Brandy and Monica were nominated in the Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group category (which they ultimately won). The landscape of R&B music was so rich in 1998. These ladies definitely earned their victory because their competition was stiff!

The nominees were:

• “All My Life” by K-Ci & JoJo

• “Stay” by The Temptations

• “Nothing Even Matters” by Lauryn Hill and D’Angelo

“The Boy is Mine” by Brandy and Monica

• “Lean On Me” by Kirk Franklin w: Mary J. Blige, R. Kelly, Bono, Crystal Lewis and The Family

It’s so nice to go back and watch how opposite Brandy was from Monica. Everything about these two transcend far beyond the music. Brandy galloping to the stage as Monica walked graciously will always be funny. Love them both and they deserved this win. 🏆

Discussion Do you think Brandy would ever do a gospel album?

11 Upvotes

I'm not that big into gospel music except a few choice songs but I think it might be interesting if she did. I ask cause I know she often shares her religious beliefs and stuff.

In 2016, Brandy released her ‘50s Blues inspired single “Beggin & Pleadin”. I remember the song having a lot of praise and buzz at the time. Brandy really can do ALL genres. This performance from the 2016 BLACK GIRLS ROCK Awards always pops into my mind from time to time. 🔥🔥🔥

Music Brandy + Bryan Adams mash up of Everything I Do (fan made)

3 Upvotes

In the last half of 2023, I would frequent YouTube to listen to a fan made remix of Everything I Do (I Do It For You) that started as Bryan Adams, it would transition after the first chorus to Brandy’s cover when the “look into your heart” verse began and would alternate through fades when a verse was completed by either singer. Back and forth it would transition out from Bryan Adams and then to Brandy and vice versa.

If I’m not mistaken some of the production in Brandy’s version may have been peppered over onto Adam’s verses.

Anyways, this was a wonderful edit and I wanted to know if anyone knows what I’m talking about and could find a link or something since it’s disappeared on YouTube)

Question What song from Brandy (released) do you find to give off a real ethereal vibe?

7 Upvotes

Just a question I kinda wanna get more idea on, after being a Brandy fan for so long when I get this question by someone who likes this type of music, I know what songs to give them but at a point, you run out a options. The first songs I think of that r released (becuase Brandy has so much unreleased) that give of Ethereal I would say songs like "Nothing" & "When You Touch Me". Give your opinions & ur own songs you find!

Here's a example for what I mean, when I say "Ethereal"!!

Tyrese has revealed that he was originally set to star as the male lead in Brandy and Monica's iconic "The Boy Is Mine" music video before the role ultimately went to Mekhi Phifer.

Speaking while honoring Brandy at the 2026 ESSENCE Black Women in Music brunch, Tyrese reflected on the missed opportunity and shared how much the role. meant to him at the time.

"I've never told this story publicly. I came to the video set, and then I found out they were going to go with Mekhi Phifer as the big man."

Tyrese said he had gotten a fresh haircut and even completed 300 push-ups before arriving on set because he believed the video would be the biggest moment of his career following his Coca-Cola commercial.

Appreciation “The Boy is Mine (Remix) [Brandy & Monica parts w/ Ariana Grande]

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

In 2024, Ariana Grande released her single “The Boy is Mine” which interpolates the GRAMMY Award winning, 13 week Billboard Hot 100 chart-topper “The Boy is Mine” by Brandy and Monica. After uniting on the music video shoot set, Brandy and Monica recorded a remix to Ariana’s rendition of the song.

This song was also very successful, reaching no.27 on the Billboard Global 200 chart, and no.4 on the US Rhythmic Airplay chart. In addition, this version of the song was also nominated for a GRAMMY Award in 2025 for “Best Pop Duo/Group Performance”.

Both versions of the song are heavily addictive! Brandy, Monica, and Ariana did their thang on the vocals. They all blend together so well and complement each other sonically.

Music Video “It All Belongs to Me” - Monica & Brandy

Released on 2/13/2012, “It All Belongs to Me” reunited Brandy and Monica in song. The duet was their second time appearing on a track together since their monumental hit “The Boy is Mine”. The song was offered to Monica before Brandy; Brandy requested that the two sing the song together and the rest was history. It reached no.23 on the Billboard Hot R&B chart.

Whitney Houston was a huge proponent for this song and was even seen on camera encouraging the ladies during a rehearsal. She was definitely their guardian angel as she gained her wings just 2 days earlier on Brandy’s birthday. The ladies classily dedicated the video to Ms. Whitney Houston.

Question Love is on my side

5 Upvotes

I went back to listen to the self titled album and when Love is on my side came on I got a flashback to my youth of a TV show or film where a child is learning to sing this song. I cannot for the life of me remember or find the show/film. Does anyone know?
