Tank Calls Brandy the Best Female R&B Artist in the World : ) May 26, 2010

[neetrab]

I won't even knock him for that because the girl IS BAD!!

I probably would have said Kelly Price, but she has more of a gospel sound to her voice, though she sings R&B. Brandy has a STRAIGHT UP R&B voice. Always on Pitch! Has a great ear for harmony and has great melisma's.

[singingsince89]

HE WAS SOOOOOO RIGHT!!!!!!!!!

[MistyCallsKingdra1]

I will never EVER understand why people always go to artist's videos just to be negative and tear the artist down. For all of you saying Brandy ain't this and Brandy ain't that, and no one should say she's the best, so-and-so is better or sings better, you all are the ones who clicked on her video and took time to comment. That alone proves she's a contender and that people are still checking for her. You idiots fail at your own argument and can't even realize it. Poor that.

[hamrto1]

@MistyCallsKingdra1 OK?? You better preach that truth. Some people just can't take it...lol

[jwill2truth]

@hamrto1 LOL, your OK?? you better preach it comment just implies you need someone to agree with you. You are "co-signing on another's comment.

[MistyCallsKingdra1]

@hamrto1 I know, they're just pressed and bitter. I mean, it's not like anyone's forcing them to search these videos, click on them, watch them, and post comments. If they don't like it, they can just go somewhere else. It's not that hard...LOL

[hamrto1]

@MistyCallsKingdra1 It's funny how people will say "no one's checking for Brandy" but they'll be all up in her videos making comments and stuff like that...I mean, clearly that's checking for her.

[MistyCallsKingdra1]

@hamrto1 Right! Brandy's got so much going on. She performed the national anthem at the Sony Ericsson Open, sang at Niecy Nash's wedding, got a new record deal, has a re-curring role on Lifetime's Drop Dead Diva, she's a mentor and producer for The Hub's Majors & Minors, she's got another acting role on 90210, and then there's on my own. Album coming 1st quarter next year, she's got a new song with Tyrese, she's got so much going on! I can't wait for Brandy's return!

[jwill2truth]

@MistyCallsKingdra1 If you are referencing me, I never went directly to this video to be negative or tear an artist down. I was actually originally looking at Tank videos & this one accidently came on. Once again you are talking about something you obviously don't know about. This is not a Brandy video. She does not even say anything or sing or anything else in this video. How you came to the conclusion & labeled this a Brandy video says you a false sense of reality.

[jwill2truth]

@MistyCallsKingdra1 I meant to say you have a false sense of reality. Brandy participated in Dancing with the stars. Really what type of relevant celebrity does Dancing with the Stars or a reality show. Those things just imply washed up and has been celebrity.

[jwill2truth]

Brandy is not even close to being the best in just the country of the U.S. So to hear him say she is the best in the world is just beyond ridiculous and silly.

[MistyCallsKingdra1]

@jwill2truth I'm sick & tired of people like you coming around just to spread HATE. Stop forcing your opinion & way of thinking on others. If you have a SERIOUS issue with what Tank said about Brandy then you need to go on Twitter or something and address him then. Go on a Whitney video. They say she's the best. Go on a Mariah, Tina, or MJ video. Their fans say they're the best. Hell, even Cassie, Rihanna, and Britney fans say that stuff. But Brandy fans can't? Get out of here with that mess.

[jwill2truth]

@MistyCallsKingdra1 I am not spreading hate. I stated my opinion. Hate is an incorrect term to use in reference to talking about something of this nature. I am not or have not tried to force my opinion on others. As far as twitter I don't do twitter, because I don't "follow" anyone. You appear to have no life & keep coming back to this video because you have already been back & forth with another person according to the posts on here.

[MistyCallsKingdra1]

@jwill2truth No, you're definitely hating. You said "Tank and anyone who thinks Brandy is the best need to get their ears checked". You were basically throwing shade at Tank himself and anyone who is a fan of Brandy. Then you went on to bring in singers like Beyonce, Mariah, J-Hud, & Fantasia and Alicia Keys of all people just to make Brandy look inferior by comparison. You heard what Tank said, had a problem with it, and made a comment about it. Nothing about what you've said has been positive.

[jwill2truth]

@MistyCallsKingdra1 If what Tank said is the so called truth about Brandy, it would not matter what names of other singers I mention. Second, I don't have to make Brandy inferior by comparison by mentioning those other names because it is what it is. Lastly, get a life other than the comment police for this video. You are making yourself look pathetic.

[MistyCallsKingdra1]

@jwill2truth But what he said mattered enough to you because 1) you disagreed with it, and 2) you took time out to make a comment about it. You're sitting here acting sadiddy like your comments are pure or free of bias when they're not. At the end of the day, your opinion is NOT gonna change what was said. He said Brandy was the best. That's it! You can't do anything about it, it's been said already! Now build a bridge and get over it while we continue to agree/support/praise Brandy. Good night.

[jwill2truth]

@MistyCallsKingdra1 I don't care or want to change what he said, because again that is an opinion. Your build a bride & get over it is so not original. You are silly & a waste of my time. If you want to continue to be the comment police for this particular video, go ahead. You probably have nothing more productive to do. You are just going to wait around & reply to the next person who says something about this video you don't agree with.

[jwill2truth]

@MistyCallsKingdra1 Do you just sit around waiting for someone to post a comment on this video that you disagree with & then reply? That is a rhetorical question, so there is no need for you to reply. It appears that you have already been going back & forth with someone else on here & you started the debate.

[jwill2truth]

Tank & anyone else who thinks Brandy is the best, probably should get their ears checked. There are so many more better singers than Brandy. Mariah Carey, Beyonce, Alicia Keys, Christina Aguilera, Kelly Price, Fantasia & Jennifer Hudson are all better than Brandy.

[hamrto1]

@jwill2truth OK, that's your opinion. We respect that you think there are better singers than Brandy. But you need to respect the opinion of those who think Brandy is the best. Some people just like different people's voices for different reasons. That's not to say that the people you listed aren't talented, but as I said before, that's why there's fans of many different kinds of artists.

[jwill2truth]

@hamrto1 You are right in reference to some people like different people's voices for different reasons. However; I do respect the opinion of others. I just think for him to say she is the best R& B artist in the world is preposterous. I have actually been & lived in other parts of the world & there are some artists that have not even been discovered & also the artists I mentioned previously whose vocal ability, their singing ability is beyond amazing.

[hamrto1]

@jwill2truth That just goes back to my original statement. Everyone in the world doesn't think the same. We all like different things because we are different kinds of people. Different strokes for different folks. It's clear to me that you had an issue with how Tank praised Brandy. And if that's the case for you, like it was said before then perhaps you should address him directly on Twitter about it. But I wouldn't do that in hopes of trying to force him to change his mind/opinion.

[jwill2truth]

@hamrto1 I don't do the Twitter thing, like I stated previously I don't "follow" anyone. I was saying I agree we have different opinions. However; your statement "It's clear to me that you had an issue with how Tank praised Brandy." That is wrong you do not know me, therefore your so called being clear with what I had or do not have an issue with is irrelevant & incorrect.

[hamrto1]

@jwill2truth It's not incorrect and it's definitely relevant to this situation. Brandy fans heard Tank call Brandy "The Best R&B female in the world". Look at the top comments here. "He's just speaking the truth" or "He ain't neva lied." Majority of the people here agree with that. It's only the non-Brandy fans that don't. I have a problem with people who say "If you and people like Tank think Brandy's the best, then they need to have their ears checked." Don't act like your opinion is bias-free

[jwill2truth]

@hamrto1 I honestly don't care what you have a problem with. Like I said, you are the one who initially contacted me. I did not contact you. Mariah Carey, Beyonce, Kelly Price, Alicia Keys, Christina Aguilera, Fantasia, Jennifer Hudson and so many more are better than Brandy and that is my opinion. I don't care what the so called majority of people on here agree with.

[jwill2truth]

@hamrto1 You are the person who initially replied directly to me about a comment I posted. So maybe you should ask yourself the question or the assumption can be made that you are the person who clearly had an issue with the way I was stating my opinion.

[MistyCallsKingdra1]

Brandy is the BEST there is! Those vocals never get old! She always gives us REAL music because she's really talented. Starz you know what I mean, you know what time it is. Haters, get a life and fall back.

[hamrto1]

LMAO, you beyonce fans are so sad. You all are just mad because someone said Brandy is the best R&B artist, and NOT your fave. Why get mad? Better yet, what brought you to a BRANDY video to begin with? it's just Tank's opinion. Get over yourselves. Brandy has been in this game for almost 20 years, and she always delivers REAL, quality music. She's a go-getter, never a quitter, and she's not going anywhere. So just get over it and deal. beyonce isn't the only talented one out there.

[yaboitrey4evaontop]

i lovvvvveeee me some brandy... but come on beyonce is the best and has been for 15 years....! #justsaying

[MoBetta11]

YES SHE IS!!!!!!!!! SKILLS!!!!!!

[lauriewilliams0322]

Anyway, all the Brandy fans remember to catch her on Drop Dead Diva on Sunday's, 90210 this fall, her docu-series, and Majors and Minors. Are girl is making big moves ! :) Also, next spring TRUE r&b is returning. Look out for her album.

[lovetotravel780]

While, Tank and everyone else is entitled to their opinion Beyonce has surpassed Brandy's success and Beyonce is still going strong. Beyonce can sing & perform uptempo, ballad songs and acapella. Beyonce's vocal ability is better and stronger than Brandy's vocal range.

[lauriewilliams0322]

@lovetotravel780 You have no idea what you are talking about. Just because Beyonce sings louder does not mean she is vocally superior to Brandy. It is Brandy's harmonizing, tone and runs that make her superior. There are so many people that sound like Beyonce. Dondria is one. Brandy is one of the top ten R&b singers in US history! Beyonce is no where near that list. Anyone who studies music knows that Brandy is technically the better singer. I bet you think Monica sings better than Brandy also..

[lauriewilliams0322]

I am so tired of you Beyonce fans on every Brandy post. You must feel threatened. At the end of the day, yes, Beyonce has a bigger fan base, but that's it. But you all must feel threatened by Brandy why you stalk her videos. Her voice has been compared to the voice of God, she has been called the vocal bible. All the best singers think she is the best and not your fave. Get over it. Tank is correct. She is the best R&B singer!

[lovetotravel780]

@lauriewilliams0322 I was stating my opinion about who I think is an overall better performer. I never said because Beyonce sings louder she is vocally superior. No where in my post did I say because Beyonce sings louder she is vocally better. Any person with common sense knows just because one sings louder does not automatically equate to more talent. By you saying that makes you sound crazy and like you obviously do not know what you are trying to convey.

[lauriewilliams0322]

@lovetotravel780 I never said you said that. I was telling you that louder does not equal better. A lot of Beyonce fans thing she sings better because her voice is so powerful. They don't understand that power is also range and just the overall feeling of the person's voice. That is what makes Brandy's voice better. Of course you have your opinion, we all do. But anyone that studies music knows that Brandy is the better singer. BTW, you never said better performer, you said better vocally.

[lovetotravel780]

@lauriewilliams0322 Beyonce does not have to sing louder to be better, she just is better in my opinon. You should get your facts correct and know what you are talking about before you even attempt to address me about anything.

[lovetotravel780]

@lauriewilliams0322 I said Beyonce has surpassed Brandy’s success and that is a fact, not an opinion. I did not stalk Brandy’s video so once again you are incorrect, the video I made a comment on is not a Brandy video. You have so much to say but not anything correct, again before you get ready to say something know before you speak and not speak before you know.

[lauriewilliams0322]

@lovetotravel780 Listen, at the end of the day the video says Tank calls Brandy the Best, not Beyonce. That is what got you upset. You can ask any vocal coach and they will tell you what he says is the truth. Ask anyone that studies music. Beyonce is a great performer, but Brandy surpasses her vocally. There are plenty of youtube videos of people sounding like Beyonce. There is no one with a voice like Brandy Norwood.

[lovetotravel780]

@lauriewilliams0322 If you were not telling me that singing louder does not equate to better, then there was no relevance to you even making that statement. Again, I never said louder equates to better vocal ability and range. All this stuff about people who study music is irrelevant and Tank saying Brandy is the best is an opinion and also irrelevant.

[lovetotravel780]

@lauriewilliams0322 Do not tell me that is what got me upset because, first I never stated that, you do not know me and what gets me upset, so refrain from making false statements without valid proof. I am not upset and there is no need and never was a need to get upset. I am not getting any money or other benefits regardless of either singer’s ability or level of success.

[lovetotravel780]

@lauriewilliams0322 As far as you saying that people sound like Beyonce and no one sounds like Brandy well again that is an opinion. The facts are Beyonce is more successful in terms of fame, her worth and her accomplishments. Those are facts not someone’s opinion, you trying to debate facts are pointless.

[MistyCallsKingdra1]

@lovetotravel780 You are all over the place. Brandy doesn't sound like or sing like beyonce, and that's what sets them apart. Brandy has one of the most distinct tones in music. So what if beyonce is more successful than Brandy? Does that make her the better singer? NO. Britney Spears has sold more than both Brandy and Beyonce. Rihanna has more #1's than them. Does that mean they sing better? Absolutely not. You need to try a better argument because that isn't cutting it.

[MistyCallsKingdra1]

[lovetotravel780]

@MistyCallsKingdra1 What are you talking about I am all over the place. You obviously do not know what you are talking about & appear to want to be included in an old conversation. I have never said Brandy sounds like Beyonce so your statement saying that is irrelevant. I was simply stating facts not opinions, about Beyonce’s success.

[lovetotravel780]

@MistyCallsKingdra1 Saying which singer sounds better is simply one’s opinion. However; I do think Beyonce sounds better than Brandy, I also think Mariah Carey, Alicia Keys, & Kelly Price sound better than Brandy too. That is my opinion & I am entitled to that opinion. I have never said because a singer has sold more records it automatically equates to them being better.

[lovetotravel780]

@lauriewilliams0322 I am not debating opinion but stating facts. You may want to look up the definition of fact and opinion in a dictionary because it seems you have some confusion about what opinion means and what the word fact means. End of discussion.

[MistyCallsKingdra1]

@lovetotravel780 And another thing, this video has NOTHING to do with beyonce. So why are you beyonce fans here commenting? Because you clearly feel like bey's title has been challenged/threatened. Like you said, Tank and we Brandy fans are allowed to think Brandy is the BEST, just like you all are allowed to think Beyonce is the best. Stop trying to pass off your opinions as facts. Bey is talented, but all her talent and achievements, even if they surpass Brandy can't take away her gifts.

[lovetotravel780]

@MistyCallsKingdra1 First, I do not believe quantity of sales automatically equates to being better & secondly, as I have stated previously who is better is simply an opinion. As far as me commenting about Beyonce on this video, I can and I will continue if I choose to. I have never tried to pass off my opinions as facts. Get your facts together & know what you are talking about before you address me about anything.

[MistyCallsKingdra1]

@lovetotravel780 Listen, at the end of the day, this video is about Brandy, not beyonce. Most Brandy fans here will agree that Brandy is the best. Brandy is OUR beyonce. You're just upset because Tank called Brandy the best, and not beyonce. Apparently beyonce isn't doing enough to please you, otherwise, why else would you be here stalking Brandy fans on a Brandy video? Anyway, you can keep hating on Brandy to promote her while we continue to give her the praise she deserves. I'm done with you.

[lovetotravel780]

@MistyCallsKingdra1 This video is 22 seconds long with one singer stating their opinion about another singer bottom line. If you want to say or think this is a "Brandy" video then go ahead it makes no significant difference & I don't care. Again, you do not know me, so do not tell me I am just upset because Tank said Brandy is the best because that is his opinion not a fact. Next I never said I was upset about his statement, so again know before you speak & do not speak before you know. 

[MistyCallsKingdra1]

@lovetotravel780 You just contradicted yourself. You DO care. The fact is that I don't have to personally know you to see that. If you didn't care about Brandy at all or what someone said about her, then you wouldn't have watched this video and posted all the comments you made. But you still did it anyway. You just lost at your own argument. So let me tell you, practice what you preach. It really would help if you knew what you were talking about before you say it.

[lovetotravel780]

@MistyCallsKingdra1 When you make these ridiculous statements about me & things you obviously know nothing about & have no evidence you make yourself look stupid. I don't care about what most Brandy fans or any other fans will agree to because again that is their opinion & I don't need other fans to agree with me as you appear to. As far as you saying apparently Beyonce is not doing enough to please me is another one of your false statements with no proof or relevance.

[lovetotravel780]

@MistyCallsKingdra1 You have no basis for debating anything. Remember Beyonce is doing and has done more than Brandy and that is a fact. You obviously need to invest in a dictionary and look up the word fact and opinion there is a difference between the two words. I am not stalking Brandy fans or a Brandy video. I originally stated my opinion not directly towards any one & you were the one who initially contacted me or did you forget. I don't care about you, Brandy fans or Brandy. 

[lovetotravel780]

@MistyCallsKingdra1 You appear to obviously have a lack of understanding when it comes to following & comprehending what is said & meant in statements. As far as "hating" that is a slang term, I don't speak or respond to slang terms or other ghetto, urban or uneducated terms that you are using probably incorrectly and loosely. Go play with someone on your subpar level. You have wasted enough of my valuable time.

[lovetotravel780]

@MistyCallsKingdra1 Do not bother and waste your time responding back to me because obviously you appear to be a lost cause at this particular point. Go continue to admire Brandy, your washed up, time has passed celebrity who was doing a typical reality show that everyday people do. You are a joke and thanks for the laugh.

[MistyCallsKingdra1]

@lovetotravel780 Yeah, you're a lost cause. Beyonce is NOT the better singer even if she has a few more sales and awards. By your failed logic, Britney Spears and Rihanna are better than bey because they have more sales and number ones. I'm sick of you delusional stan worshipping bey stans coming for Brandy. If she's such a washed up flop, then why are you here arguing with me about her? Clearly she's relevant enough for you to do this. Take my adivice, stay away from here. You are NOT wanted.

[lovetotravel780]

@MistyCallsKingdra1

For the last time you initially contacted me in reference to what I posted. You could have just posted a comment but you initially sent a reply to me. I did not contact you. Like I stated previously go play with someone on your subpar level. You are a waste of my time. You really are a joke & thanks for the laugh little kid. Do not bother to reply back because I will not even read your comment. 

[neetrab]

@MistyCallsKingdra1 - "Yea, you're a lost cause. Beyonce is NOT the better singer even if she has a few more sales and awards. By your failed logic, Britney Spears and Rihanna are better than bey because they have more sales and number ones.. I'm sick of you delusional stsan worshipping bey stans coming for Brandy. If she's such a washed up flop, then why are you here arguing with me about her? Clearly she's relevant enough for you to do this. -- I couldn't have said it better! THANK YOU!!!

[lovetotravel780]

@MistyCallsKingdra1 Lastly, your statement about I commented on this video because I clearly feel Beyonce's title has been challenged or threatened is false and ridiculous. You should not make definitive statements about me or how I feel because you do not know me or how I feel, so know before you speak and do not speak before you know.

[MUSiiKjAZZY]

he IS ABSOLUTELY COORECTTTTT!

[CieCieBaby]

Not true

[lbreezy1234]

@beyoncefan1000 u just saying that cuz u ain't exposed to true talent. Brandy is the best, better than beyonce. Beyonce is ghetto, ugly, un-talented, and over-hyped.

[Beyoncefan1000]

@lbreezy1234 hahahahaa thats a joke right??? because if anybody is ugly then its Brandy's donkey face looking bony ass!!!! Beyonce's still the baddest chick so, quit the bullshit and stop frontin

[lovetotravel780]

@lbreezy1234 While everyone is entitled to their opinion, Beyonce has a wider and stronger vocal range than Brandy. Beyonce will shut Brandy down in vocal ability alone, not to mention other things.

[supastarleezy]

if everyone wants to get these singles in full let's start a facebook page similar to what the people did to bring back the "Game" tv show. Our voices can get things done we are truly the people who decide what's hot not the labels. Let's Go Brandy Starz and Fans! Brandy is number #1

[anti00pop]

Brandy is the best. She has accomplished everything. She had real competition back in the day. Now we have untalented Rihanna and Ciara. It's easier for Beyonce because she has NO competition

[Stephlovesboyz]

@anti00pop Ciara is not untalented. She can work the hell out out of a stage.

[Berryflowers]

you betta tell these folks the truth!! VOCAL BIBLE!!

[aircandi]

@Berryflowers AMEN!!!!!

[MrMarla123]

He's just saying what I've been saying for years.

[Beyoncefan1000]

Oh please Tank!!!! Beyonce is the Baddest!!!

[NikkiIsChillin]

Speak the truth. Shame the Devil Tank!!!

[marqymarq1]

[hamrto1]

Preach Tank! Apparently there's some people that have a problem with your opinion! But you're more relevant to the music industry than they are, so they'll just have to get over it! Love Brandy!

[marqymarq1]

Monica drags her! Tank is gay...

[brocka2002]

[Sophieee1987]

Amen!! She's the best ppl, dont ever doubt it

[Darslow]

These singers today can't touch Brandy with a 90 ft. pole vocally. Tank is right! B is the real R&B Queen. She would mop the floor with any of these flamboyant, but talentless performers.

[singingsince89]

HANDS DOWN!!!!!!!!!!! BEEN DOWN W/ BRANDY SINCE 'Thea'!

[melodic232001]

Her mom actually cried shortly after that....It's not on this video, but it was simply beautiful....!

[melismusic25]

BRANDY IS THE ORIGINAL QUEEN B!

[90s2Infinity]

I LOVE HER MOM'S REACTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tonebro]

@90s2Infinity Her mom and shay both reacted the same. Brandy is the truth tho there isnt any other female rnb singer like her...excuse me...vocalist. Shes not a singer. Cassie is a singer.

[90s2Infinity]

@tonebro Yeah Brandy is a TRUE Artist in every sense of the word!

[JaznDevyne]

HELL YES
