Last night, Brandy performed a concert at War Memorial Auditorium, Tennessee Performing Arts Center in Nashville, TN on June 8th.

Fans really loved it when the Mississippi-born veteran delivered her nostalgic self to the show. They screamed their loudest when she performed a little routine to ‘Sitting On Top Of The World’, alongside many other classic songs from her back catalogue. Brandy also tributed her late idol Whitney Houston by performing a very upbeat medley of her dance classics!

Check out some of her energetic performances below!

Watch: Jessie J discusses exciting new duet with Brandy…

Brandy fans, don’t get mad at this just yet. During a UK radio interview with Kiss FM earlier this morning, Jessie J confirmed that she recorded a duet with R&B songstress Brandy for her upcoming new album.

The singer expresses how awesome it was to work with such an industry veteran but says that the song may NOT make the final cut. I can hear those angry sighs already. With Brandy seemingly ditching the gem that is her latest album ‘Two Eleven’, this would serve as something new for her fans to look forward to.

The complexity of Jessie’s mezzo-soprano combined with Brandy’s sultry contralto would certainly make for a ‘different’ type of collaboration. I’m really excited about it. See what Jessie J says about their exciting new collabo below!

Brandy poses for the latest cover of PYNK magazine where she addresses the underwhelming sales of her latest album ‘Two Eleven’. She says she’s very proud of the album because it was appreciated by the fans. She notes, she’d have loved the album to reach more people but sales chart positions don’t define her. “I define me” she says defiantly. It pains me to say it but to date, ‘Two Eleven’ has only sold 178,613 copies since its release last October. Did it deserve to sell more? Yes it did. But at least the fans enjoyed it (myself included). Peep more pics from her spread below.

Brandy says she’s NOT a fan of Beyoncé’s ‘Bow Down’…

When Beyoncé unwrapped her controversial new song ‘Bow Down’ recently, the song was met with mixed reaction. Some of us disliked that she was acting like God as it took away from the humble nature she is notoriously known for. In an exclusive interview with theGrio, Brandy  expressed similar opinions as Keyshia Cole. That being, she’s not a fan of the song. Her words below…

Over the weekend, Brandy performed in front of 40,000-plus people at the 2013 Honda Battle of the Bands in Atlanta, GA. Rocking jasepi boots and a bright yellow top, the singer sang some of her hit songs and new cuts, including ‘Put It Down’, ‘Wildest Dreams’ and ‘Full Moon’. Producer Bangladesh came out for the first number and the cheering crowd gave them both some love!

MTV’s ‘This Is How I Made It’ shines the spotlight on R&B veteran Brandy! The beginning of Brandy’s career stemmed from her father’s church where she performed for the very first time.
