  • I love her voice 

  • Only BEYONCE!!!

  • she did wonderful, people don't realise that one has to have a GREAT TONE of voice to be able to sing this with absolutly NO BACKGROUND music

  • I love Brandy! She did a wonderful job!

  • damn, her weave always look nice!

  • It's interesting how every Brandy video is filled with comments from insecure Beyonce fans.

  • whitney has the best, beyonce would be second,then fantasia, then brandy and aaliyah would be in the same(to me)..... then i would put christina agulara and the kelly clarkston...and then the rest!!!

  • @princeofcrunknb ... Jennifer Hudson would be second not beyonce..

  • @dlferich i personally dnt like j hudson verson i mean she is a great singer but she just over sings it to be and beyonce sings it just right!!!.....just like i dnt like to hear j hudson sing whitney i will always love you...she just doesnt sound right(to me) it doesnt fit her voice...but that doesnt mean she is great but idk

  • Brandy Killed it :)

  • Can you people just enjoy the performance and quit fighting? I agree everyone has a right to their opinion but damn the screen is filled with it!

  • You guys have to be educated in singing.. Just by comparing Brandy and Beyonce's resonance is enough to determine who's the winner. Brandy, in all vocal registers can't even give a decent resonance... Beyonce's however has a really powerful resonance in all vocal registers. Also Beyonce has classical training.. her runs are more accurate and even incorporates aspects in technical singing.. crescendos, pianissimos, crisp staccatos, etc.. Comparing Brandy to Beyonce is an insult to Beyonce....

  • @jomarantolinbuy - Are you crazy?

  • Comment removed

  • Whit, then Marvin pure classy and whoever else...

  • Whit, Beyonce, and now Brandy I swear the best anthems

  • Ur right its not on Beyonces level, its completely past her.level! Just because a person doesnt make a run and sing falsetto on each word and line does not discredit their level of being blessed with the gift of song and im sorry but u should study Brandy becsuse shes a very gifted individual on a higher level..though she hasnt put out much lately she is pure genius when it comes to this music thing, any run and I mean any run Beyonce can do I am positive Brandy can match...theres no comparison

  • @almameta - I enjoyed your comment. To add to that.. Brandy knows her worth and she takes her time and brings out quality music. She doesn't come out with garbage every 6 months to jam down the public's throats like Beyonce is. Not sittin' down somewhere is going to be Beyonce's downfall because she is 1-2# by default. Some special, fresh face is going to rise like a phoenix one day then Beyonce will be looked at as 5 day old left-overs no matter how good her future music is.

  • @ggirly6 You already discredited yourself. You just don't like that her music is everywhere so you're biased to her vocal talent. Regardless of how annoyed you are with her she can sing.

  • @DeoxysDNA - I didn't discredit nothing.. you just read too far in to it because you are bias I never said Beyonce couldn't sing. I said Brandy is better and I gave you a list of reasons.

  • @ggirly6 And all of those reasons are things that Beyonce can do as well. I am not biased at all. You tried to say my opinion was only opinion while yours was fact.

  • @DeoxysDNA - What do you mean? Beyonce doesn't do anything on the list! "Your coat is nice" is an opinion. "Your coat is purple" is a fact! Get me. The debate is who SINGS better.

  • @ggirly6 Beyonce does everything on the list. Just because you are annoyed with her music doesn't mean she's not a phenomenal singer. No one is trying to discredit Brandy either. Nothing you say is a fact so I don't know why you are trying to make it out to be a fact.

  • @DeoxysDNA - How is it not a fact. I just told you what Brandy does and what Beyonce FAILS to do. This is what makes Brandy a better singer. I just don't understand how you don't understand what I'm saying. You are trying to flip it for some reason.

  • @ggirly6 Those are just claims, but I can easily say the opposite of what you said and say it was fact. The things you claim Beyonce can't do, she has proven to have done. It's your opinion that she isn't a better singer than Brandy but don't pull things out of your ass or "opinion" and try to blow them off as fact. What you claim she "fails to do" I and others have seen otherwise. I like Brandy too, but you need to be a little more mature.

  • @DeoxysDNA - Or maybe you are so biased that you refuse to do your homework on the matter. Look at Brandy's live performances and then look at Beyonces. Don't get me wrong..Beyonce can sing but my list is true. So obviously you are just being partial and turning a blind eye to it.

  • @ggirly6 I'm not biased at all, and you just assume I haven't done my homework? Implying that you have provided any statistical data? Beyonce is known for her voice, as Brandy is. The only thing you see when watching their performances is that they have a different voice. Just because someone doesn't agree with your opinion(that you want to try to make off as fact) doesn't mean they are biased. Again, grow up.

  • @DeoxysDNA - Whatever. Lets agree to disagree because right or wrong I'm ready to move on. And don't tell me to grow up, douche bag. Why is it that people can't disagree with others on Youtube without being a disrespectful twat?

  • @ggirly6 Because it's one thing to disagree, but it's another to try to make your opinions fact. That makes you the douchebag. Just recognize that what you think is an opinion and don't try to make it a factual thing and you won't deserve to be disrespected. Here, you deserved to be disrespected the moment you tried to make your opinions out to be fact.

  • @DeoxysDNA - IT's not about who likes who better! It's a matter of who is better TECHNICALLY? There is a check list for technical. Do you understand that Beyonce is a better singer technically than William Hung or Macy Gray? Do you get that what seperates Beyonce from any AMERICAN IDOL REJECT is that she has the technical know-how? And right when I was going to compliment you on disagreeing with CLASS you start acting like a douche just like every other immature youtuber. #finished

  • @ggirly6 OMG! I am so sick and tired of going to video after video and seeing Beyonce being compared to Tom, Dick, and Harry. Can I just watch a video and enjoy my favorite singer without Beyonce's name being brought up? Jeez!

  • @MsKateRoberts - LOL - My bad.

  • @ggirly6 You're still doing it. There's no difference between the subject of who likes who better or who is better. It is all generated from bias at some point. They both can sing really well and I don't see why you think your list is valid enough to support a fact when I can just as easily make the same list saying what Brandy supposedly can't do. But I won't because I know they have two different voice types. Stop trying to make it fact of who you THINK is better "technically".

  • @ggirly6 And calling me immature is ironic. I wasn't being a douche I was being real. If you don't like it when someone calls you out on your ridiculousness then don't be ridiculous. You obviously strongly believe Brandy has a better voice, and your list of why is generated from your bias of that. That doesn't make it legit proof that she is better. None of the things mentioned in your list can be agreed with by everyone. You're so biased you don't even realize.

  • @DeoxysDNA - Fine. Have it your way. I'm going to leave it alone. I should have never brought Beyonce in to this because this is what happens. #OneToGrowOn

    Beyonce is very talented but I prefer Brandy's tone, texture, intricate riffs, control,etc. She truly has a gift.

  • @almameta No, Brandy has a nice voice, but have you ever watched the beyonce experience or any of Beyonces live performances? Sorry but I have to disagree. 

  • ok let's get one thing straight, whitney set the benchmark for other future singers to follow... NO ONE can do it like her... but brandy killed it with this performance, she's fantastic in her own way

  • stop being haters, yu get cho ass up there and sing!

  • I love Brandy. I thought she did a beautiful job. Of course, and especially today, no one will beat Whitney's performance. But give 'em all a break. That's a very hard song to sing.

  • WHITNEY trumps them all. ♥

  • @lorenfykes Jennifer Hudson is up there too right behind Whitney!!!

  • @lorenfykes yes!!!!

    

  • I was so expecting to come here and dislike it, but I was wrong. Not the best anthem i've heard but still BEAUTIFUL.

  • whitney still better

  • @redboy587 Whitney was the 1st, the number 1 and no one compares to Whitney...

  • @redboy587 how can you compare an artist like Whitney to her Whitney is a legend!!!!

  • Brandy has a beautiful voice its just not well fitted for this song.

  • Love this <3 xoxox

  • Loved It .

  • Good job I like it

  • Good

  • She killed. It and forgot Brandy had a booty

  • Great Job Brandy..great vocals

  • Beyonce is so busy jamming herself down the public's throats that you tend to forget who the better singers are. Brandy is a BETTER singer than Beyonce with a prettier tone, better singing judgment and killer riffs. Period point blank.

  • @ggirly6 that a lie

  • @funkskywalker1 - LOL.. What did I say that wasn't true? 5 people agree.

  • @ggirly6 I appreciate your OPINION that Brandy has a better singing voice, but your opinion is only that: an opinion. That doesn't mean that Brandy is necessarily better than Beyonce. Or that Beyonce is better than Brandy. That is all open to interpretation. And I prefer Beyonce.

  • @alstonpmaroon - If you like Beyonce better that is all fine and dandy but uh.. There is a right and wrong way to do anything.. no? Brandy executes better. Period. Annd by the way.. there are no estimates, guestimates or appraisals on the truth. Truth is absolute not a matter of opinion.

  • @ggirly6 Better singer than Beyonce? Ok lets not try to play Brandy. If you respected her enough you wouldn't try to put her in a losing battle like that. She is not a better singer than Beyonce. The first few sentences of your post already shows your bias towards Beyonce as an artist. Whether you like Beyonce or not, she is one of the top vocalists of today. I like Brandy, but Beyonce has a better voice.

  • @DeoxysDNA - Yes better technically all the way around and you thinking Beyonce has a better voice is your opinion. It's just that simple.

  • @ggirly6 You can't acknowledge what I think as an opinion and then acknowledge what you think as a fact at the same time. Brandy has a nice voice, but she has never shown to have the same power or range that Beyonce has.

  • @DeoxysDNA just because beyonce screams on the dam mic doesnt mean she is better than brandy.

  • @handful808 She doesn't "scream" and it's not about volume. It's the overall skill and vibrato of her voice. Have you ever watched Beyonces anthem?

  • this was nothing for her ...too easy!! <3

  • Perfect rendition. Not overworked and overdone like most of the typical contemporary artists.

  • Beautiful n so simple ... I loved it

  • Brandys a vocal beast!

  • omg...i love her voice may i say chills....

  • i miss brandi

  • I'm a real fan of Brandy from the beginnin', but this is NOT a national anthem. Sorry

  • @DiarioLatinoblog what do u mean?

  • I'm not a professional singer but even I can tell that she's breathing in the "wrong" places. She can't sing one line without a breath before the last word???

  • she looks like a vietcong

  • She sounded very controlled, that was a good 'un lol.

  • Brandy has no range. When she tries to sing high she gets weaker. She's okay. Not the best rendition.

  • @Breon198 Some of the best singers in the world have limited range. So to point out artists who lack such takes nothing away from their artistry. It's not solely what you have, but how it's used.

  • @HOOPCITYDETECTIVE exactly, there's more to singing than just vocal range...like you said it's about what you do with the talent.. it involves emotion and expression as well as many other factors

  • @HOOPCITYDETECTIVE You are one point with that comment...People always think its all about range but as you've said, it's how it's used.

  • good job brandy!!

  • I love her she did an amazing job .her voice is music at one point i forgot she had no band and she looked great and did anyone notice how beautiful her skin is no amount of makeup is going to look that smooth unless the skin is smooth just love her

  • it seemed like she rushed the end of the song but nice job tho

  • MY GOD, I LOVE BRANDY!! :-))

  • Wow...I feel all patriotic now. Even Brandy had a tear in here eye.

  • love her and that Cake.. BANNAAANNANANANNANANANANASSSSS­!!

  • That audience was WHACK.

  • Amazing. So controlled, beautiful

  • Some are bothered by her taking breaths... it's actually kind of nice that she's not lip-synching. She doesn't have the range of a Whitney or Jennifer, but she stayed in tune, took her time and remembered the words. All in all, well done.

  • @nightswimmer99 ummm Brandy can sing better than Jennifer

  • @MIMI232 not sure I agree (I really like Jennifer's voice), but you are entitled to your opinion. Again I think she did a fine job with the anthem, it's not easy for anyone.

  • nicely done wooow brandy can sing beautifully

  • Very nice girl, but no voice. She never should have tried this and she knew it.

  • @joanytime .................You have no place telling the vocal bible what she can and cannot sing...The day when you can match her vocal flexibility, ability to switch between various vocal tones and textures, and effortlessly use a fast but very free vibrato, then you can come back and say something...until then, please mute.

  • @hamrto1 Lol so just because were not good at some thing we can't critisice??? what the fuuu are you 11 years old?

  • oh gosh she was so nervous, u could hear it in her voice, for all you idiots thats why she was breathing like that...

  • it's beautifull but the sad part is is that she's forcing herself to make the notes come good,that's not called singing with freedom

  • This would be awesome if she weren't breathing every two words...

  • so clear and beautiful go girl

  • This sounds bad.  Like she is is out of breath. All the talk of the unique voice in the world is not going to make this sound like anything good.

  • yesssssssssssssss girl, love you B.

  • SING BRANDY .. I LOVE HER .. ! ! ! ! ! !

  • She sounds nervous

  • Mo is my fave tho, just saying.

  • Monica and Brandy are both great artists. Lets stop comparing.

  • I really hate to bring this up but I'm sorry Brandy did a waaaaaay better job than Monica did on this song. I just watched the 6/8/10 National Anthem by Monica and it was not as good as this. She was pitchy and needed back up from a choir. Brandy did all of this on her own. Wow!

  • Sing Brandy!!

  • YESSSSSSSSS, this is how you are suppose to sing. This is how the original divas use to sing like (Patti, Aretha, Whitney) sang like this with theirr diaphragm

  • XLNT - This is more how the Anthem should be sung.

  • her voice is so smooth :)

  • honestly i dont understand why everybody talking bout her breathingg like its a bad thing what yall want her to go through the whole song without a stop or breath take wth not possible your suppose to take breathingg stop while singing wth hell shut up pleaseee

  • Brandy has one of the best voices ever and is one of the most beautiful women in the world

  • Great job Brandy!

    

  • She sounds fantastic, I'm really impressed! Absolutely beautiful vibrato.

  • I'd be breathing that much if I were that thin and STILL had a figure hugging belt on :/ For a true singer, singing from the diaphragm is a MUST... no wonder she was breathing so much - but still, stunning... beautiful. Love her.

  • much love from israel

    brandy is and always will be - somthing else

    better then all the rest : )

  • SHE ATE THIS PERFORMANCE.......YAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAASSSSSSSSS

  • beautiful.

  • Her hair is everything!

  • @AmashaVEVO that what i was saying :D.. but her voice ain't bad ether,, even tho i have heard some better,, like Beyoncé or Jennifer Hudson

  • @KGRRRRR Beyonce's tone is annoying--unless she is singing a pop song.

  • @blktrekie29 well.. yeah,, but when Beyoncé sang it with Michelle and Kelly.. damn that took my heart.

  • @KGRRRRR I thought you were talking about her solo one--not the one with Kelly and Michelle. I actually really like the group one, especially the ending.

  • @blktrekie29 well.. i was talking about both ones xD .. but anyway, they all are talented and pretty :D

  • Absolutely PERFECT!

  • Go on girl!

  • I Don't Hear What Yall Do This was Great

    brandy

    i love u

  • I don't think this is as good as I expected Brandy's national anthem to be. Just my opinion, and it is still good, and I only expect beyond and above from Brandy because her voice and skill is incredible

  • Brandy has one of thee best voices in the industry! her otne is just sooo great. I love her! And yesm she does arrange her vocals HERSELF! Rare these days

  • Im in love

  • Brandy is one of my favorite sangers, she sang the hell out of that!

  • Brandy's voice has aged like a fine wine. She sounds so much more sure of herself when she sings now. And her songs have some of the best vocal arrangements ever; arrangements that she herself makes.

  • Awww she sounds amazing as always, the american national anthem is so much better than our British god save the queen. Shouldn't say that but it is

  • @pidge80 Lol yeh it is actually... i'm british but i agree

  • she's the prettiest black person i have ever seen

  • @NormanWasHere well i don't no bout that but she iz pretty

  • @SophisticatedLady92 LMBO LOL Right

  • There is no singer out there now that can match this chicks depth and tone.....Brandy you need to come back and bRiNg It!

  • something bout her voice reminds me of kelly rowland ...bless her..

  • B-rocka she has such a nice tone to her voice i really love her

  • I love Brandy!

  • That girl always had a nice voice.

  • It was good. Nothing spectacular.

  • Not a Brandy fan but that was really good alto she did take alot of breaths but way to go Brandy or Bran Nu or Bran or B or lol
