Brandy has a very rare voice. It's low, but it sounds like it should be high based on its sweet quality and airiness. Great analysis as always!

Brandy has an unmistakable voice and I think she's gotten better with age.

Baby! That's Brandy "Why Are You Down There" Norwood.

You know you're a legend when black music archive makes a whole docu of your voice and you're not even in your 50s.

Brandy is a prime example of singing on your interest, not your capital.

“If the Bible is a foundation for life, Brandy’s music is a foundation for understanding what your voice can and cannot do”

You are honestly the BEST YouTuber on this site. The amount of work you put into your work, you are truly gifted and you took this video FAR beyond anything I would've expected. How you come up with such a thorough and detailed script is phenomenal. I will watch this video SEVERAL times. Thank you! And let this be a note to other people who love this channel, please support it because you deserve it and more! Also a massive thank you to all the interviewees for adding even more context to this beautiful video. The Full moon break down got meeee. I love this woman so much. I learnt so much, thanks again!

Lauryn Hill's voice needs to be EXPLAINED Black Music Archive!!! We've been Waiting! lol!

Yup! This video is long overdue! Brandy deserves so much more. People love to play in her face 😕.

Brandy is my all time favorite vocalist. I would take a hundred courses on studying her voice. She’s a blueprint.

Am I the only one who loves when Brandy’s voice takes on the “raspy” tone? ❤

Brandy is an intelligent singer. She has such a unique ear for music and arrangement. She really does know how to tell a story with her arrangements. She's a singer's singer for sure.

she is the blueprint for the cute pop/R&B it-girl. soooo many artists after in the mid to late 90s through to the mid-2000s followed this model. plus, one of the most special voices ever. often imitated but never duplicated. God took great care in crafting this voice.

I watched the video on Michael Jackson's voice the other week & now that I've seen this one, I noticed they're opposites in how their voices were used in childhood. MJ sang high & loud as a child when he probably should not have been. Brandy was not forced to push her voice in that direction as a child. Therefore, her voice was preserved over the years. I'm learning so much from these videos. Thank you!

Chile it’s Christmas 🎄🙌

The amount of research, blood , sweat and tears that you put in your work and still have time to remain lean and trim!! Kudos , brother!

So basically Brandy is brilliant and one of a kind, things I’ve known for ever, but this breakdown supporting why’s she’s perceived as the vocal Bible, is so fulfilling and needed.

Thank you for this breakdown. Brandy voice has always been hard for me to explain to anyone. Her tone and the way she intentionally hits notes can confuse the ear lol. People don’t realize how high or low she’s singing because of that. I find her voice unique and VERY distinct. I love smooth, silky, and raspy voices. Her voice can unleash that power when a song needs it most. She’s so fun to study vocally.

I think it would be nice to do something like this for Aaliyah. People now like to discredit her but she was the first of the 90s teenagers to put out an album. Even though there is only 7 years of career I think she deserves some kind of recognition for what she did and her voice. Monica too as her and brandy and Aaliyah were the three to really kick it off for female teenage acts. Great video!
