  • Made it even more amazing because she's singing for God.

  • I'm often amazed at how we're so quick to judge. Brandy is blessed with a gift from God. Can we rejoice in the fact she was praising God........To God be the Glory. Here's a guitar arrangement of the same tune. I did this last Sunday, just solo guitar. Just type or copy information below into youtube.

    His Eye Is On The Sparrow Michael Little

  • OMG!!!!

    For the people who said, "people in the background need to shut up"...You don't know how black people Praise, study us before you make a comment. 

  • Brandy should stick to Pop. Not a gospel singer

  • @Doolstar1 It's so sad that people often equate Gospel with screaming. Gospel is delivering the Message in a soulful manner, which she did. You can scream or you can whisper, just make sure it has some soul.

  • @Doolstar1 Actually she was originally gospel when she started out in church before getting signed back in the day. Same with Monica, Whitney, Mariah...Church tends to train the best vocalists.

  • when is next sing a rama ,signup info ?

  • B ROCKA!!!!!!

  • black ppl can never let no body sing in church!!!

  • brandy you did ok but fantasia would have kill it and would sang it 10x better

  • @supermandreams4 Well, that's your opinion. But Brandy is quite capable of delivering a great vocal performance without all the extra vocal acrobatics, a la Fantasia. No offense.

  • I love that guys reaction to that run Bran did at 1;20 CLASSIC! ...lol alot like my reactions when I hear brandy sing...

  • Always loved you Brandy! Your calling is gospel. I felt the anointing!

  • That was really good but I felt like people were responding and focusing only on her voice and the fact that she's brandy and not the song....

  • She good... but she's no BEYONCE!

  • @Bee318ti You're right she's Brandy two totally different artist with their own sound...... plz cut the comparisons it's so old....... Personally Beyonce isn't all that.... but that's my opinion!!!!

  • I love Brandy and she knows what she can and can't sing!!!She has control of her voice!!!!!!This is just her singing!!!As far as her albums go and her singing on them!!!she sings every album she releases! It may not be what you like, but she sings!!!!!So Get over it she is GREAT!!!@ I mean this is Brandy!!!!!

  • LOL @ 1:22 where the singer in the back says "What?!" after that crazy run by Brandy...

  • BRANDY STILL GOT IT !

  • Killed it!!!!! #BestfemaleR&bsingerNthagame

  • @ericanmason Seriously?

  • Brandy's voice is still beautiful

  • beast

  • @hamrtoVery well put

  • Brandy has a beautiful voice. Some people really need to be careful with worldly labeling. What is a "gospel singer?" Is it not a person who not only can sing..but chooses to sing gospel/Bible music? Brandy can do that. I am so glad that the Lord doesn't see things as man sees them. God looks on the HEART..NOT how well a person can scream & do vocal gymnastics. God bless you, Brandy! Keep singing God's music! Man is not your judge.

  • It's a complete CRYING shame that people are just inventing new ways to hate on Brandy. It's sickening. Brandy fans can't even enjoy her videos because we always have to defend her. People always doubt her vocal prowess. If she's oversinging here, then she's not a powerhouse there, and then she can't sing as well as X,Y, and Z. Please, let this space be a place where we can appreciate Brandy's talent. I'm so sick and tired of people constantly being negative towards genuinely talented people.

  • She was just singing....and that's all. The song she chose is not just a song. It actually has a meaning..one that she failed to capture and give life to. I'm not knocking her voice, because her voice is great, but skill and mastery can't argue with truth. And there was no truth in this..she should have just sang one of her songs.

  • @Will9323 She is not singing this song to entertain you. When will you all see the bigger picture? She is glorifying God with her voice. What does that one passage in Psalms say? "Let everything that has breath praise the Lord". It's okay that you didn't like her rendition of the song, but what if God is pleased with her performance? SMH, I swear people can't even let singers be themselves because they're always being matched up against others, like what you're doing.

  • @MistyCallsKingdra1 I wasn't looking to be entertained. Which is what she was trying to do. Like I said, "she is just singing". If you think this was a praise then that is your opinion. But riddle me this...why the bow at the end & the excitement over accolades? Right! It was Brandy showtime. & there is no "picture" to be seen. Only One, & I am not talking about Brandy. No one is comparing her to any one or anybody. Because it's not about her. I don't care to see her really & a lot of her I did.

  • @Will9323 All I hear is opinions, and I'm glad they are just that. You cannot pre-suppose that you knew exactly what her intentions were for singing this. You're over-analyzing and overthinking this performance...LMAO Oh, and you "don't care to see her" but here you are, you watched her and now you're speaking nonsense. Lol, I can't stand people like you. I'm done here, now stay out of my mentions.

  • @MistyCallsKingdra1 Again you are too foolish to understand what is said..so I will leave you to your folly. The things I speak can not be understood by mind reasoning. But yes, I watched the video, I like Brandy as a vocalist, and I still know that this was just a performance and only a performance.

  • @MarvinRashadTV awwwe it wasn't that bad. I just didn't like all those runs.

  • @MarvinRashadTV Are you saying that Brandy didn't sing this song correctly? With your logic, the only "proper" way to sing this song is like a common baptist church singer, and I assume that's by sreaming, yelling, and belting to the top of your lungs until your voice cracks. Please! Broaden your perception of singers because there's no one-way to sing a song. There's nothing in this performance that is "off-centered" or "hoarse". You're just looking for a reason to deny her as a vocalist.

  • @KhariTV...."vocal masturbation, which all black people live for." One word...FOOLISHNESS! Certainly not true...your opinion is definitely your opinion but its so far from fact. And I dont understand why individuals really take the time to critique a singers video. Always so much negative feedback. Who really cares about your OPINION and furthermore can half of you actually sing?? 99% sure the answer is NO. Such a waste.

  • Let me rephrase that last comment: She could of slayed this if she was trying to impress. She had Jesus on her mind.. If Brandy was pressed, she would of been beltin' this song out like she did with her bathroom bangers.

  • I'm a huge Brandy fan and I admit, she could've slayed this if she tried harder. BUT Majority of y'all hatin'.. Regardless, she went in.. There's no denyin' so pls take the hate else where.

  • Know i sounded ignorant on that last comment. glad it was removed.

  • I'm not impressed...not even close to great ...

  • I love Brandy but this wasn't her best performance, I've heard better from her... I'm glad that she finally got some credit though she's really talented....

  • Brandy You Just Keep Singing Because Your Happy and Because Your Free I Love You

  • This was a great performance Brandy! Seriously, why judge Brandy's vocal ability? She is not singing this for her own personal gain, she's not singing it for entertainment. She is ministering to the Lord Jesus Christ. You may not be moved by it, but who are you to say that God is not pleased with Brandy giving him praise? For God's sake, she is singing with no studio enhancements, no background singers, no gimmicks! A lot of today's singers can't do that. What more could you ask for??

  • This was okay.. All she did really was just run after every word. Lauryn Hill still has the best version

  • @supaleader06 why you mad

  • Her voice is very rich and has a nice tone BUT singing this sing requires the anointing. The Runs were overbearing and unnecessary. Just because you have the ability to do them does not mean do them throughout the whole song. Moderation is key.

  • I cried. Brandy you are truly amazing your voice is anointed by the holy spirit itself!

  • I really like Brandy: question: if she was on a talent show as a new 2012 singer WILL SHE WIN

  • She's okay I guess

  • Those runs are EVERYTHING

  • Can't sleep on a voice like tht.!

  • She has vocal talent for days and days. It's just not fair!

  • She is SO amazing :)

  • If this doesn't put Brandy in the top ten female vocalists of all time.. I don't know what time will. Effortless, God given talent. This is just... Gives me goose bumps!! Brings tears to my eyes.

  • how about that ! bouuuuuuuuum !! she rockkkk

  • yesss brandy sang love her

  • Brandy sung that! Yes Ma'm! Show em why u been in the game so long!

  • Singing acapella and sounding faboosh is something most entertainers cannot do nowadays. Nice to hear Brandy take it back to her roots!

  • OMG IF BRANDY EVER DROP GOSPEL ALBUM THE WORLD WILL BE OVER CUS HER VOICE IS FROM GOD ITSELF.

  • that gal can sang! u go B

  • Nice Brandy Nice!

  • Her voice is AMAZING. All these people trying to say she was just "OK" or "alright" by comparing her ability to other singers need to sit down somewhere. If every singer sang everything the same way, there's be no flavor in music. No taste, no variety. Brandy has a very distinct sound and style, and she effectively used that to make this song her own. Because of that, no one compares to Brandy. She is just pure talent. Great singer and impressive vocalist, hands down.

  • Her natural voice is so great that I've never understood why she covers it up with studio tricks, especially on the Human album.

  • I enjoyed watching this clip. I was wondering what she was going to do with the song. COOL!

    To those beneath my comment who are concerned with what a gospel singer should "sound" like?- Gospel music is premised on the fundamentals of a feeling- which sometimes is not represented in or definitive by one particular sound. Perhaps you wanted her to sound like someone else who sings gospel, but doesn't necessarily sound gospel.

    All in all nice clip.

  • Oh look....a needless argument in the comments....that's a first

  • @brandonelliot Bwah ha ha ha I love it

  • I see a lot of hating going on. I guess you cant please everybody they hated on Jesus for that matter and see what a gift he was for us. God blessed Brandy to have the voice she has and to be able to sing for millions and yet your hating on his gift. When will the haters learn to stop hating?

  • Comment removed

  • Brandy's voice is truly a gift.

  • She aight..... But Noone Will Ever Top LAURYN HILL's Version Of This in The (Sister Act 2) Movie... Thumbs Up If You Agree

  • @MrJozeph5 Anyone one can sing the song that's all that matters...and I am sure as you type "aight" you knew it was an understatement.

  • @BLKENDOLLBARBIE -_- ....... OKAY, I GUESS YOUR RIGHT. IN THE END THEIR ALL SINGING 4 GOD & NOT US. THATS WHAT COUNTS

  • I love Brandy and her ability to execute runs are fantastic, but this song requires a little bit more heart. I feel like Brandy intentionally dressed up the song in her famous runs, dragging out unnecessary parts just for the hell of it. This wasn't soulful nor inspiring. It was just strictly vocal masturbation, which all Black people live for.

  • @KahariTV Well, I understand your point. I think Brandy tackled the song like a R&B singer singing for the fans more than a Gospel singer singing for the Lord. Brandy is still on the idea that she needs to prove to the entire world that she can actually sing. However, not all black people "live for" showy vocals, in fact, in the church that I used to go to, folks preferred a more reserved form a worship.

  • @Marcusitoblog BRANDY SANG THE SONG THE WAY SHE FELT SHE SHOULD SING IT. YOU ARE NOT ANYONE TO DICTATE WHAT BRANDY'S MOTIVES OR PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD IS. BRANDY WASN'T BEING SHOWING FYI AND AT THE END OF THE DAY IT WAS HER INTERRUPTION OF THE SONG WAS REFRESHING.

  • @BLKENDOLLBARBIE I am just saying how it sounded to me. Brandy isn't a Gospel singer, therefore her approach was different. It is not a bad thing at all. I appreciate that she is willing to sing in the church, many R&B singers start in the church and as soon as they get a deal, they never go back. That being said, I think she did an amazing job and I happen to be a fan. Also, I made no mention about her personal relationship with God.

  • @Marcusitoblog Sure you didn't mention Brandy's personal relationship with God but to say that her vocals were "showy" down plays her motive in singing the song in the first place and her personal relationship with God. So what Brandy is a RnB singer doesn't discount the way she interprets a gospel song as just a Rnb singer being "showy." She's been blessed to have the vocal training and if she want's to use her ability to sing that way to the lord it is her singing Gospel.

  • @BLKENDOLLBARBIE I never called her vocals "showy" that implies that she was showing off. I merely stated that she was demostrating her range, which is a good thing. Look, I know you stan for Brandy and I appreciate that you support her because I do as well. But one thing that concerns me about stans is they seem to try to debate with people who don't always have the same color of praise as they do regarding their favorite singer. If I wrote "vocal beast" (and she is), you'd be co-signing.

  • @Marcusitoblog Honestly,I don't even know what the definition of a stan is to even consider calling myself that. Please don't tell me what I would co sign or not you do not know anything about me other then I disagree with your opinion on Brandy's vocals with this song. To say that Brandy feels she needs to prove to the entire world that she can sing sounds like an implication of "showiness." At the end of the day yes I disagree with your view and that's that end of story... :)

  • @BLKENDOLLBARBIE Every comment is subject to response. Enjoy your shade-fishing.

  • @Marcusitoblog Whoever you are please leave me alone I am getting annoyed with the alerts coming to my phone about this subject. I ended our conversation with tack you ended it very tacky go away no need to reply. My crystal ball tells me your going to have another tacky off the wall comment that wont prompt me to respond by hey the crystal gets foggy sometimes. ;)

  • @BLKENDOLLBARBIE I said showy in my original comment in response to the original comment that @KahariTV made about black folks living for vocal masturbation. But I never said I thought that Brandy was being "showy" in her performance.

  • B Rocked That!!! Soul Clap!!!!!!!!

  • it was ok

  • In other news, singer/musician/producer/songw­riter Brandon Elliot Smith reportedly went into cardiac arrest this evening & had to be rushed to ER... Witnesses say at the time of the incident he was watching a video clip of Brandy Norwood singing a Gospel selection & once the clip reached 1:19 he suddenly fell to the floor. Brandon is now listed in stable condition but doctors have reportedly ordered him not to watch the clip again

  • @brandonelliot hahaha!!!! I pray you have a swift recovery!! Brandy ended up causing ME to get ran over by a truck!!! I listened to her first note and ran out in Traffic! SMHHH...ALL hail Queen B!!! Yes God!!!
