(HD) Brandy's Vocal Range (Studio: Note By Note)

[Stefano94x]

That run at 2:27 was ridiculous.

[TheSCoopSC]

Brandy has one of the most amazing voices to every grace music. Her tone can't be matched. I don't care what any of you say.

[jessicaordazfinnell]

<3 E5 Give Me You - my favorite non-single from Brandy's Debut.

[norybevol]

I agree with the 1s who said they love her low register. Her lowest notes always sent chills through me. And I do think she challenges herself to see if her notes can get lower and lower in some of her songs. I love it

[BracceG2]

love her LOWER REGISTER

[drigao16]

forced high notes, she has not a good support for belting :/

[Stefano94x]

@drigao16 She has FULL breath support on the belts.

[TowelTroi]

Forever Brandy.

[musicmaestro2011]

I wish the creator of this video would be so kind as to send me the names of all these songs ..... PRETTY PLEEEEAAAAASE !!!!!!!!

[babylovemeonemoretim]

What's the name of the C#3 at 00:48?

[hamrto1]

@babylovemeonemoretim That's from "The Definition".

[WhoTheFuckGonStopMe]

the last belt is F#5 not G#

[MistyCallsKingdra1]

@WhoTheFuckGonStopMe I think the person may have meant that's a Gb5 since it's basically the same as a F#5...Although, I do know Brandy has gone higher in her head voice than displayed here...

[WhoTheFuckGonStopMe]

@MistyCallsKingdra1 she has i belive the highest i heard from her in head is G5

[goodchild181]

Bitches sleep on brandy saying she can't sing as good as Monica. They are neck and neck . Check her resume bitches

[dabestgirl]

brandy's vocals are insane in-fucking-sane, i love her low notes the best, they're just so smooth

[Stefano94x]

Uhm... I've listened to her entire discography but I really can't identify the song at 3:19 :( Is that song from her unreleased stuff?

[iTzJoSeV]

@Stefano94x I think it's "Chinese (Home)"...

[hamrto1]

@iTzJoSeV Nope, that's "Keyed".

[MistyCallsKingdra1]

@Stefano94x Yes, that's an unreleased song. It's called "Keyed".

[Stefano94x]

@MistyCallsKingdra1 Thank ya ^^

[myasson]

"Defined by youuuuu ohhh yea" SLAYS IN EPIC PROPORTIONS!!!!

[Stefano94x]

@myasson Agreed. Flawless tonal production, one of the best lower registers in pop music.

[keythjayne]

This bitch can't sing period

[keythjayne]

There was no need to do this video that bitch can sang an you can hear where they sync her voice

[MistyCallsKingdra1]

@keythjayne Why do you think Brandy can't sing? And better yet, why did you come to a Brandy video of all places if you believe that?

[MichaelThomas31999]

whats the song on 1:30

[musicguy713]

can you tell me the song for brandys Eb3? making a video lol

[Stefano94x]

@musicguy713 'Focus' from 'Afrodisiac' (2004)

[sheru7mera7naam007]

she hit some reallly high notes in the never say never album, track 13 "happy"

[sheru7mera7naam007]

where's the c4 octave... i'm confused about this whole music scale...lol

[crit1227]

Brandy can sing! Wooo always had a voice.

[MoniMeka]

Brandy knows how to sing a song. she knows when to be soft and tender. she also knows how to do gospel type vocals when a sing requires it. she's amazing!

[melodicsmusicfanz]

Brandy can most definitely sing higher than expressed in this video. She's always been able to. The thing is with her, and it's one of the reasons she's so loved, Brandy shows unique dynamics and doesn't over due songs. She knows when to be tender in a song. Plus she's proved on all of her albums that she can run with the best of them. She can go REALLY high. But we all know her lower register is unbelievable. Toni has great dynamics too, but Brandy's tone is undeniable! Great video btw.

[MistyCallsKingdra1]

One more thing, this is Brandy's studio vocal range, am I right??

[Stefano94x]

@MistyCallsKingdra1 Yes :)

[MistyCallsKingdra1]

@Stefano94x Oop, well it needs an update because I've heard more!!

[biko85]

If u guys read all my comments (wich are thousands) ,u will see that i just LOVE Brandy, so may my words has no weigh cuz i will always talk favorable to her in comparasion to other artist.

she has the talent, the voice and a strong knowledge of what she does. and that's undeniable.

As a huge fan of her, i just cant tell she is the best voice because no one has the right to say that after all these fantastic artist out there stays for hours @ the studio just for us. and we are to support em.

[daiell09]

Her Runs, and lower register is everything.

[badgirlsclubfan4life]

Brandy has some songs with good Falsettos/Head voices, why don't you include them.?

[likeanaviator]

@Stefano94x don't forget the highest note F#5  "gonna find my love" also a human bonus track.

[Stefano94x]

@likeanaviator I already uploaded it and I missed two notes: the Eb5 and the F#5! :(

[likeanaviator]

@stefano

"Locket (Locked in Love)" – Human [Itunes bonus track] (2008)

[daiell09]

Her lower register is so strong.

[likeanaviator]

I love Brandy, one of her biggest fans for 17 years.

But there's an error about the highest note.

The highest note G#5 on "gonna find my love" is actually an F#5.

When this video is discussed people claim all of it is wrong and she can't do an F#5 either because of this error.

It's a pity.

[Stefano94x]

@likeanaviator What's the song at 2:26? :)

[Njal1992]

@Stefano94x That song is called "locked in love"

It's a "Human" Bonus Track.

[Stefano94x]

@Njal1992 OMG I made a "Human" vocal range and I didn't put it on the video! *sigh*

Thanks :)

[Njal1992]

@Stefano94x Will you be making a video for the "afrodisiac" album?

[Stefano94x]

@Njal1992 I don't know.

[Njal1992]

@Stefano94x Have you heard her song "home"?

That was also recorded in the "Human" era, it has good low notes in it.

[MistyCallsKingdra1]

This video is not complete...

[XanderLiveTV]

What song is that at 2:26 ?

[hamrto1]

@XanderLiveTV That was "Locket (Locked In Love)".

[KingsleyQuainoo]

She is simply the Best!

[likedbymany]

what song s the g#5 from?

[hamrto1]

@likedbymany That's from the song "Gonna Find My Love".

[youngzacc]

She has the most amazing voice that I have ever heard.

[dimestarr91]

She slayed the low notes on that track "Like this" off of the full moon album. You forgot that.

[ccishot564]

That G#5 is an F#5

[KingsleyQuainoo]

She is incredible !

[hamrto1]

Also, check out the video "Brandy The Woos" to hear Brandy's signature ad lib!

[SuaveChrdz]

WoW..this is such an awesome observation. Brandy is my vocal idol. I love her so much...I need to find my vocal range and what key i sing in best. I need to get trained up!

[badgirlsclubfan4life]

Your forgot Happy from Never Say Never...she did a really high note in that song.

[Thkmra]

@Stefano94x Hence..Lyric alto!! Really no differentiation between contra-, and regular except lightness vs heavyness of timbre

[1simaddict1]

I was thinking she should do a song where she start out accapella with no sound or anything at all just her singing and then brake into a nice RnB beat and the song should be a ballad...I think that would be awesome

[ladysasha90]

I believe she hits like an G#2/A2 in "Im Yours"

[HildaMcFumble]

That poem in the description box is crazy! You're a nutter!

[AyoYungStar]

for the person who said brandy's vocals weren't agile... please listen to "keyed"

[ThePianoguy89]

@trentnjones How she's able to go lower than Toni Braxton?

[trentnjones]

@ThePianoguy89 Toni has a darker timbre than Brandy but Brandy has shown the ability to go lower.

[Stefano94x]

@ThePianoguy89 I think Toni could go lower than Bb2.

[ThePianoguy89]

@Stefano94x I think so too, if she scaled down she could at least hit an E2.

[ThePianoguy89]

How she is a lyrical contralto? She sounds like a low mezzo-soprano to me.

[Thkmra]

@ThePianoguy89 Nope..Alto

[detroitsinger02]

AMAZING!!!

[Ashabobo]

i think the no one to know note is the lowest bran has gone i love her bottom and her mid and her top notes, shes bomb everywhere.

[hamrto1]

There's this one song that Brandy hits this really low E...I don't know the octave range...but it's very low...It's called "Where Are You Now?"

[MistyCallsKingdra1]

What about the C#5 in "Tomorrow"? And I think she belts a B4 in that one...lol I think, not sure...

[RyanJae21]

whats the C#5 song??

[alexBOSS5]

@RyanJae21 GET HER FIRST ALBUM AND FIND OUT ! ! :)

[youngcc7]

I KNOW Brandy's falsetto can go higher. And I'd LOVE to hear her venture off into her high head voice.

[Jtmagnet0708]

I NEVER THOUGHT BRANDY WAS CAPABLE OF GOING THIS HIGH! LOL SHE'S STILL AN ALTO!

[tamarapeaches]

what song is the first "C3" from?

[Sweettricey6]

jesus christ that c#3 is killer ! GO BRANDYYY!

[lexiesttressexi]

are u able to sing?

[alexBOSS5]

WHERE'S HER Bb2 (low note) FROM THE SONG FINALLY ?? U CAN HEAR IT AT THE ENDING OF THE SONG (from her Afrodisiac album) ..

[hamrto]

Ummm, I'm pretty sure Brandy goes below that C#5 in "Best Friends" she goes to a low A natural on the lick "you" "I call on you my friend" and she hits it again on "you" for the line "Call me when you need"

[Eisele691]

BRANDY IS THE QUEEN AND THATS ALL I HAVE TO SAY...THAT ALL I NEED TO SAY YOU ALL HEAR HER!!! I WISH THEY HAD SOME LIVE VOCALS THOU!

[Rookerman32]

Brandy's chest voice is better than Monica's chest voice, especially in the C range.

[karamelkutie203]

screaming to me....she trys to hard

[chewerboy]

she's probably the strongest alto... EVER!!! :D

[mikestratus1]

@chewerboy is prolly rite! or a mezzo soprano! definitely not a contralto! ilike her riffs, unique

[MoniMeka]

what's the note she did at 3:42 of that song Stand Back? that run was so beautiful she did. i love that song.

[MoniMeka]

her voice is insane!!!!!!!!

[swaggahboy10]

Love the video. love how you mixed in the unreleased tracks. but the end note was definitely not the highest head note.

[DonavonKingTV]

What is the name of that G#5

I know I heard it somewhere

[816sexiest]

what song is that at 1:25?

[meboobrat]

@816sexiest when you touch me is the song

[Keno3361]

wat song is the Eb2

[DooDaht]

amazing voice

[1Iana1]

oh wow, i love this, this is great.

[VaunTV]

we need a live version of this

[meboobrat]

@VaunTV we do cuz brandy can hit all these notes live

[VaunTV]

@meboobrat lol i know, it would be great to have a live version.

[BinxzPookies]

Brandy's voice is like swimming wit dolphins OMG !! ahhhh n personally i feel brandy's record sales arent as high because 1. ppl want her music so bad its out before the album hits...2. beyonce is doin like 50 things at once movies, fragrances, Colabo's, 20 music videos at once, tours radio..i think Brandy need to get out der more n i think dats wa she doin wit her new show comin out

[1Iana1]

i gotta agree with you

[07hoodstar]

Plz make another video...you did her jutice...i wud like to see her falsetto's being displayed. (i.e "true")

[minnelli21]

Please what song was 2:05?????????

[07hoodstar]

it is called "like this" off her full moon album

[minnelli21]

Thanx a Mill:-)

[yeadime]

Like this from the FulL MOON Album

[neqquah]

I don't realize she had the much range

[misstyler305]

man she sounds okay but not the best ive heard...i think everyone knows that monica owns that spot!!

[90mv]

Monica ? LOLL noooo

[Intyme]

absolutely amazing! I wish the world would remember the talent and hear what I hear. None like her... none

[speakingwithands]

can you do a Cece Winans vacal range video. she is one of my favorite singers.

[Chrizmooo]

[TheTouchPro]

@Chrizmooo Quickly; By John Legend

[MeshaWantMoore]

she the best ive ever heard

[alexBOSS5]

Brandy's Full Moon album was the Shit!

[delocollier]

brandys first album was the shit her most soulful one

[alexBOSS5]

@delocollier i like ur opinion. but Full Moon speaks to me in a way. her first effort was hot tho :)

[meboobrat]

ppl thot my baby brandy culdnt sing high notes, pshh look at da video of her singing in da bathroom "over the rainbow" shes kills da high and belts and low notes

[meboobrat]

ashanti cant sing worth shit but brandy... phew tht woman can sang!!!!!!!!

[AfroLady352]

I Love!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mdilworth1977]

this video is greek to me... i don't study music, have a nice shower voice, thats about it... to be honest not all great singers sell big, some of the top sellers have more gimmick than substance... brandy may not be breaking top record sales, but she will always be around, do to the amazing voice...

[alexBOSS5]

i love her C5 :)

[tweetypie525]

Oh I gotta take back what I said about Tuih... I read the rest of your post and it sounds like you really do know what your talking about... My bad

[tweetypie525]

Also Crunk, in the music business you have to realize that talent isn't based on record sales if that were the case then Ashanti is a vocal beast and if you believe that then your problems are way bigger than whether or not Beyonce or Brandy sings better...

[tweetypie525]

I'm pretty confident that the next statement that I will make is true... Neither Crunk nor Tuih are experienced singers and if you are you probably don't sing that well... There are NO "cons" to Brandy's or Beyonce's voices, they are both freaking vocal geniuses! I AM a singer, a GREAT one AND a musician (keyboardist) so take it from me, the are incomparable but both FABULOUS!

[CrunkBoi87]

Um.. Tweety pie. I am a very experienced singer.. It's what i want to pursue in life.. I NEVER said There were cons to brandy's voice. I just said that i like beyonce's better. They are not incomparable. And i never said vocal talent was based on album sales. And yea please give me the link to the article. Because no matter what tank says, it didnt come outta aaliyah's mouth

[DivasForeverChannel]

[Greenshow81]

[alexBOSS5]

[SooNyce]

[alexBOSS5]

on brandys new album. she wrote and sung a song dedicated to her daughter ^_^

[abcsweet]

Someone needs to do a vocal range video for queen latifah and for India Arie. On india's new song I was amazed she hits a sustained B5 ON THE song "long goodbye"

[alexBOSS5]

[VersaceShay]

[emuesquire]

this video was awesome seriously u broke down every clef she sing s on super coo u should do more artist other thsn the greatest.lol try out some others i ll tune in hey make sure you subscribe

[trentnjones]

So far I've done solos for Brandy, Lauryn Hill, Toni Braxton, Tireh, Mariah Carey, Minnie Riperton and Patti Labelle. I've done comparisons for Mariah, Whitney, Christina, Beyonce, Minnie, Toni, and Brandy. Working on a bunch of new ones again :)

[Rookerman32]

@trentnjones Get Goapele's vocal range.

[OrGJOYRDQUEEN]

I'm trying not to ride her to hard but it's true she has the best runs in the business I've said it once and I'm saying it again thanks for confirming it !!! Do it Bran Bran

[dcoleman5]

Are you a music major genuis?!? Thanks for the vid.

[Chris39206]

Brandy's voice got really Low toward the end on Best Friend. I think that's her lowest note to date, Its in the chorus right after the bridge,She adlibs and sings "That you are my, That you are my best friend."

[trentnjones]

The lowest note in best friend is C#3.

[nippyme]

love the honesty in her voice......

[alexBOSS5]

could she sing in mezzo-sopranno ? what song has she done that shows u doin so..?

[abcsweet]

Such a beautiful and classic Alto voice and omg does this girl have range. WHOO she has 3octaves my girl b-rocka blows me away. There are mezzos with not that much rangeor vocal precision

[KingLild2010]

Her voice is beautiful never mind i see her octaves is at the end

[KingLild2010]

What is her Octaves

[trentnjones]

3 and a half note :)

[laceleatherxxx]

thanks for this video your awesome im subbing

[QuietStormMan]

Hmm.....Similar to Beyonce range?

[trentnjones]

Brandy can go one note lower than Beyonce but Beyonce can go 4.5 notes higher than Brandy. They are two different vocal types though so that is generally expected.

[QuietStormMan]

True. Their sounds are very different. I often wonder how Beyonce would sound on Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins produced song?.....or the sounds of Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis?

[damskooo]

beyonce has tons of darkchild songs,

scared of lonley say my name and allot of others

[tireh]

She did that allready.. De Ja Vu' was done by Darkchild

[sephyr2006]

@QuietStormMan Deja Vu? Say My Name? Lose My Breath? Those are Darkchild records.

[CrunkBoi87]

4.5 notes higher? Beyonce can hit an E6.. Thats more than an octave higher..

[trentnjones]

An octave below E6 is E5. G#5-A5 is a semitone difference and E6 is four notes above A5. Hence, 4.5 notes.
