Monica started off pitchy, it was all downhill from there. Brandy is so precise and intricate, Monica didnt stand a chance. Both great artists, but if you have an ear, you can hear Monica flat, and that heavy vibratto doesnt help.
Her vibrato is everything and she makes you feel everything she says. Fix your opinion. She may get flat at points because she isn't the best at runs but she definitely has more SOUL than Brandy.
Overkill?? Can you sing?? Are you famous?? I don't think so, until then stop judging, you have no room to judge when both of there careers lasted 16 years and counting. Brandy and Monica are friends, their friendship seems pretty strong, and this time fans/the media aint getting between them, so stop trying, and being so damn delusional.
I am a music producer song writer vocalist n vocal coach. I'm very unbiased. So when say someone is flat it is a critique meant promote the best end product. 1st song Brandy good Monica flat. 2nd Brandy good til end then flat Monica good til the 1/2way mark then flat. Overall they're both good singers however Monica sometimes tries to hit notes live that she can only hit in the lab. Brandy live compared to Monica 80-20 split. Real talk
If you weren't in the building that night...you will never truly know how Brandy sounded when she sang "I will always love you". It was the best vocal I've ever heard from her. Ever. I was just walking in when she started and I couldn't believe how she sounded. Amazing.
I can't believe ppl still fighting over who's better. They're both dope! Damn. I dnt like when ppl compare them. They sound different and they both can SAAAAAAANG for the Gawds!!!!!
It's insane how even they cannot sit back and look at the breadth of what they have done, the hills they have climbed, and simply revel in the ultimate success that they BOTH have over such a dynamic variance of people. I simply don't know anyone who is a fan of one and not the other as well! Point. Blank. Period.
Everybody shut the hell up! both these heffa's are Fierce in their own right,two of the best from the late 90's- early 2000's, Whitney proteges!... they're our sisters so lets hold them both High!
Brandy's first album was all arranged vocally in true Whitney Houston fashion. As Brandy developed her own sound she came into her own style. However her bottom register is still very much Whitney. Whitney wasn't just high notes. She had a mean bottom and could run up and down the scale like nothing. Both these females took their own thing from Whitney and made it a career. Gotta respect it
Brandy slayed! Monica would have slayed too if she would stop sustaining notes with her fast vibrato going in and out of pitch and running out of control at the end of phrases. But when she sings a straight melody she sounds good.
okay so as a true Monica fan i ride for her all day long but dis was not her best. But she NEVER miss a head voice transition (5:16-5:24). And no matter what it sound like she can hold a note. (8:18-8:23) is the best things she did dis performance, that transition was seamless and that head voice run was fast af then went back into chest🙌🏽💯‼️ Monica usually kills if actually listen to her albums n some of her live (90’s and 00’s up to ‘12 and present) She did murder “It All Belongs To Me Live” by herself👏🏽 ( ruclips.net/video/sXqwvlm1vkM/видео.html )🔥👸🏽
Wow even though I'm a big brandy fan I don't have to put Monica down to show that ..... Monica is dope anyone that knows music knows that but anyway even if you hated both Brandy and Monica you can deny the fact that they are great Artist
lol Monica could've done without that last run on "It All Belongs To Me".......that control just isn't there for me......I love them both, but I always pick Brandy first!
Why does everyone feel the need to compare them both all the time... THEY ARE BOTH BEAST SINGERS WHO CAN SLAY ALMOST ANYONE VOCALLY! Both a force to reckoned with... #VocalMonsters!!!!!!
All this fucking bickering while these two lovely ladies are being so respectful to each other. Maybe you should take a lesson from each of the artists you love, and do the same with each other.
Are folks still with that Monica vs Brandy crap?!?! smh... Well, let me just go ahead & lay down my unbiased truth... They both are equally talented, fashionable & beautiful & I'm a fan of both... I have followed their music since they came out... As teenagers Monica was the better singer of the two, her vocals were on point & Brandy's music was just more upbeat & catchy... But now Brandy's voice has matured so much & I feel she's the better singer now & her music is still upbeat & catchy... Monica's vocals are about the same, nothing different & her latest stuff was a lil on the dull side, but hopefully her new music code Red will be hot!!! go Brandy! go Monica!
Tracy C well thank God that's your opinion and not a fact. I totally disagree. Brandy voice is limited in my opinion Monica's is more versatile and Ideal especially since she can hit much higher notes. That alone doesn't make you a better singer but that is what most people value more....there's not much you can say Brandy is better than Monica at other than control and runs and her runs are not even long extended runs like Beyonce's.
Brandy 4:52 to 5:03...killer vocals...lol...love brandy to death one of the sickest vocalist today..do yo thang to MON..so glad they got back together to do a song..they should do a whole album together
Everyone know that Brandy's voice is unmatched. Even Mo's people say that Brandy have vocal skill. U never hear any celebs or music producers praise Monica. Brandy have range, riff and runs. U noticed that Brandy sing with artists, cause she's a TRUE vocalist. Monica is a singer that don't know her voice well, so she just wing it and it can be good or bad.. She would never match BRANDY's vocal. Overall, they're both talented. POW
impossible to choose. Brandys voice is quite thin and low but she shines with her intricate runs and acrobatics. Monica suffers when tries to do the fancy, long notes but she shines when she's just singing straight because her her tone is so pure and strong. I prefer Monica live and Brandy in the studio.
There was most definitely overkill at the end of 'The Boy Is Mines' and she did it purposely from the looks of it. At the very end.. Take another look.
Umm Monica can sing just fine. You might not like her but I do. I love both Brandy and Monica. I'll admit lately Monica has been boring me to death true especially with this last album but I still love her and think she can sing. Just not as good as the 90's when she had that hard voice that moved me. Today her voice is flat but angelic.
I think that Brandy has had better success than Monica, so everytime they sing together, I think she has something to prove. Brandy is just too nice, but she is still winning:)
The way Monica finished up cause Brandy was about to break down was amazing seeing Brandy emotional like that made me want to cry and then it was Monica hugging brandy
you did say that when brandy was try to over due her runs on IABTM.... honestly these girls are not competing with one another they are having fun...let the craziness go...lol
I like Brandy & Monica , Brandy it's not playing Monica in her TV. show now an singing with a person playing monica , Brandy it's her name it's monica Ohhh Oohh you no I like you and her sound good bless you
Was brandy sick or still emotional from the Whitney tribute because she usually gives great live vocals. Not that this was bad it seemed like she struygled a bit. I agree with the Monica overkill. I really don't understand how her voice has changed but it can be overwhelming
@MistyCallsKingdra1 Well, after "tho she is still AMAZING" is my opinion. The rest is complete objectivity and fact. so I am so glad it's my opinion too. :D
BRANDY!!!!!!!
Brandy tore this up. Amazing vocalist.
Both did an amazing job
That look Brandy gave Monica while she was singing.
LMFAO! Look at Brandy's face @ 1:07 when Monica goes flat! #priceless she wanted to laugh sooo bad haha
LOVE IT!!!
i like both but i understand what u saying
Brandy looked pissed
Hilarious!
PREACH!
Monica started off pitchy, it was all downhill from there. Brandy is so precise and intricate, Monica didnt stand a chance. Both great artists, but if you have an ear, you can hear Monica flat, and that heavy vibratto doesnt help.
Lol... Lol...
+Antheny Lee She sounded beautiful.... the hate and jealousy is real tho. Let's not make ridiculous fallacious statements
shut up stunt queen
Antheny Lee you just spoke the truth!!!!!!
Her vibrato is everything and she makes you feel everything she says. Fix your opinion. She may get flat at points because she isn't the best at runs but she definitely has more SOUL than Brandy.
REAL TALK SEE I KNW u may be just a little jealous of me the song says it all
MO SAID IT TO HER FACE😂
Overkill?? Can you sing?? Are you famous?? I don't think so, until then stop judging, you have no room to judge when both of there careers lasted 16 years and counting. Brandy and Monica are friends, their friendship seems pretty strong, and this time fans/the media aint getting between them, so stop trying, and being so damn delusional.
I am a music producer song writer vocalist n vocal coach. I'm very unbiased. So when say someone is flat it is a critique meant promote the best end product. 1st song Brandy good Monica flat. 2nd Brandy good til end then flat Monica good til the 1/2way mark then flat. Overall they're both good singers however Monica sometimes tries to hit notes live that she can only hit in the lab. Brandy live compared to Monica 80-20 split. Real talk
Understand ladies that you are gifts of God to each other. Please not this. Keep it tight and right. :)
LMAOOOOOO

For real... i wish they'd stop with that dumb shit.
Facts
It's insane how even they cannot sit back and look at the breadth of what they have done, the hills they have climbed, and simply revel in the ultimate success that they BOTH have over such a dynamic variance of people. I simply don't know anyone who is a fan of one and not the other as well! Point. Blank. Period.
Brandy sings from heart deep deep down.
Two stellar vocalists -- came from the master class of Whitney and folks want to critique... Bravo to both ladies
Everybody shut the hell up! both these heffa's are Fierce in their own right,two of the best from the late 90's- early 2000's, Whitney proteges!... they're our sisters so lets hold them both High!
How many times did you rewind the beginning BRANDY ❤️
Brandy had a relationship with W.H. and I felt that she was singing from a place of missing Nippy.. Nothing but love for both ladies. 2020
Brandy's first album was all arranged vocally in true Whitney Houston fashion. As Brandy developed her own sound she came into her own style. However her bottom register is still very much Whitney. Whitney wasn't just high notes. She had a mean bottom and could run up and down the scale like nothing. Both these females took their own thing from Whitney and made it a career. Gotta respect it
True.
Whitney’s bottom was not that mean lol
Brandy slayed! Monica would have slayed too if she would stop sustaining notes with her fast vibrato going in and out of pitch and running out of control at the end of phrases. But when she sings a straight melody she sounds good.
that run at 4:59! she demolishes any other female singer i swear! too unique
okay so as a true Monica fan i ride for her all day long but dis was not her best. But she NEVER miss a head voice transition (5:16-5:24). And no matter what it sound like she can hold a note. (8:18-8:23) is the best things she did dis performance, that transition was seamless and that head voice run was fast af then went back into chest🙌🏽💯‼️ Monica usually kills if actually listen to her albums n some of her live (90’s and 00’s up to ‘12 and present) She did murder “It All Belongs To Me Live” by herself👏🏽 ( ruclips.net/video/sXqwvlm1vkM/видео.html )🔥👸🏽
Wow even though I'm a big brandy fan I don't have to put Monica down to show that ..... Monica is dope anyone that knows music knows that but anyway even if you hated both Brandy and Monica you can deny the fact that they are great Artist
brandy slayedddddd!
Both are great singers period! Ppl are always judging and comparing just please for once let it go
Dj Funnyman you gotta realize that brandy has been singing the longest she sounds way better than Monica
lol Monica could've done without that last run on "It All Belongs To Me".......that control just isn't there for me......I love them both, but I always pick Brandy first!
You crazy... that gave me chillz
brandy did sound better in this clip...
Why does everyone feel the need to compare them both all the time... THEY ARE BOTH BEAST SINGERS WHO CAN SLAY ALMOST ANYONE VOCALLY! Both a force to reckoned with... #VocalMonsters!!!!!!
Brandy always look force to sing the whitney songs Bran can really sing better then what she gives to the world
monica all pitchy and flat
for me monica is much better in studio, but Brandy is much better live.. i like them both the same but for different reason
sorrosify that is true I agree with that
💖💖
That’s wrong
Definitely not true both are amazing
All that time and work Brandy spends in the studio stacking and layering and harmonizing with her tracks...you have got to be kidding
Monica's tone is beautiful!
SHE IS THE DEFINITION OF SOUL
Is it just me or is MO cutting Bran off before she can finish getting her notes out. LOL
Right
I wonder what was on that paper Whitney handed her
Ronnell Littlejohn right
Monica at 5:20 shut the fucking house down.... I can't!!!
I guess bc the run before that was a fail
ayooooooo BRANDY @3:08 thoughhh!!
You can see that Brandy is really hurting offer the death of Whitney She really deserves the title 'The Vocal Bible.'
BRANDY
All this fucking bickering while these two lovely ladies are being so respectful to each other. Maybe you should take a lesson from each of the artists you love, and do the same with each other.

SHE CAN'T HELP IT BABY....DON'T HATE SHE HAS IT NATURALLY, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE NEXT PERSON ISN'T BRINGING IT. YOLO!
I love them together. To hell with a battle. A joint album together would be awesome
oh lawdd monica..please get that intonation, control and vibrato together..pah-lEEZe
i saw no overkill..
There was most definitely overkill at the end of 'The Boy Is Mines' and she did it purposely from the looks of it. At the very end.. Take another look.
alright bran bran.....
Monica!!!
True TALENT! RnB's next LEGENDS!
i dont think Whitney songs are for Monica..
Umm Monica can sing just fine. You might not like her but I do. I love both Brandy and Monica. I'll admit lately Monica has been boring me to death true especially with this last album but I still love her and think she can sing. Just not as good as the 90's when she had that hard voice that moved me. Today her voice is flat but angelic.
Whew chile. This debate is tiring.
Those two are sister's that love and hate each other.😂😊
i don't think Whitney song's are for Brandy...
Aww Brandy

I think that Brandy has had better success than Monica, so everytime they sing together, I think she has something to prove. Brandy is just too nice, but she is still winning:)
Moinica was flatter than a pancake...

The way Monica finished up cause Brandy was about to break down was amazing seeing Brandy emotional like that made me want to cry and then it was Monica hugging brandy
And there you have it -- ladies and gents!
Exactly, cause Mo know she doesn't have range like the other artists that she try to out yell.

Brandy and Monica are a good singers. I wish they can stop with these beefing each other.

@MistyCallsKingdra1 Well, after "tho she is still AMAZING" is my opinion. The rest is complete objectivity and fact. so I am so glad it's my opinion too. :D
Monica does absolutely too much at times, it's annoying.. now mind you I said @ times!
