So we all agree that Monica was a better singer than Brandy in the 90’s and 2000’s right?

Mid 90s, Yes.

But by the late 90s-2000s, Brandy had it locked. Monica doesn't have a "Full Moon". That album sets the standard going forward for vocal production in RnB thru today.

It's called vocal biblr for a reason

I always preferred Brandy over Monica in every way. That Brokenhearted song on that 1st album is still my favorite Brandy song. Monica has nothing touching that imo. I actually purchased Brandy's albums. Funny story my first baby mama's name is Brandy and then my ex-wife looked like Brandy when she was younger from the braids and the roundish face and same shaped eyes.

I like Monica's vocal tone more but I feel like Brandy has better runs and vocal dynamics.






What say you @Rhapscallion Démone ? Who you got Brandy vs Monica.

I love them both even though I think they rarely push themselves to their full potential. I love Monica's passion and I love Brandys smooth runs breathiness.

In what world is Monica a better vocalist than Brandy? I can agree with being a better artist, but vocalist, hell no.

You serious? :dahell:

I’m not saying Brandy can’t hold her own but Monica voice has always been better than Brandy

I think people view Brandy as the more popular artist cause Brandy is also a tv star and with her show Moesha and movies but vocally Monica has always sounded better than her to me

I said vocals not albums

If we talking albums then yes, Brandy wins

Monica was a better overall singer and had more range

Brandy had better songs, production, writing and Moesha came at the right time. But she needed a better team because her parents inserting her brother in things didn’t add to anything.

Neither her or Monica were alert enough (or talented enough) see Beyoncé coming even tho she was there the entire time.

Monica’s voice is more stark and she prefers to throw more power behind it, but I don’t think it’s necessarily better.

Brandy can do more with her voice, including the same things Monica does. She’s more versatile but subtle.

If Monica is Roy Jones Jr, then Brandy is Floyd Mayweather Jr.

I don’t know bout all that

Brandy has a lane, I ain’t never heard her be versatile with her voice

Same with Monica

I judge by which voice sounds better to my ears and it’s always been Monica to me
