Excellent vocal performance! It would be nice if RCA actually worked to promote this single.

Unlike most singers, Brandy is one of those rare singers that sing better and better as they age. She sounded amazing!

I don't even think her voice is the best it will get. She seems to be trying to get stronger as she ages, which is what happens to all the best singers who are in it for the long haul.

Interview with Toby Gad which I'd never heard. The latter part of the interview is interesting as he talks about her vocal layering.

Album sales are up to 160k. Doesn't look like it will eclipse Human any time soon.

RCA couldn't even post about her "Without You" BET performance on their website, and yet they posted some 30-second LQ clip of Adam Lambert singing Rihanna's "Stay".

I just hope RCA wońt fire her or that she Will manage to found another Major label very very fast. It ´s very sad for her to see how they screwed up With her this era.

Brandy should have stayed with Warner/Atlantic imho. Her management should get "Without You" to be used on "The Game" since she has a starring role this season. Her performance of "Without You" at the BET Honors was "Grammy" worthy.

I honestly just think the public is very picky with songs that include ACTUAL vocals, which 'Without You' consists of. I wish her label would push it somewhere because it has a really great melody.

I just wanna beat someone to DEATH in her management for dropping the ball on this era.
Wildest Dreams in retrospect was a poor single choice, and they should have RUSHED to push a third single when the saw WD struggle even with the promo. I have this feeling that her management/Chameleon over-romanticized about bringing back old-school "R&B" that they compromised this era by pushing the wrong record. I mean, get with the times damn it.
There were so many great followup single to PID, including Slower, NSTATL, WY, LMG and SS. I mean Slower is hotter than anything out on urban radio right now. Uggh.

I'd never heard "Slower" until now but that beat is fire. Just needs a catchier hook. They should put it on a soundtrack or VH1/BET show.

Loved her show. Her voice sounded amazing, her choreography was smooth, and she took full command of the stage like a true pro. It was a quick 60 minutes but I definitely got my money's worth.

Nope. I think it's clear that era is personally her least favorite so I'm not surprised she excluded it.

A "Human," "True," "Shattered Heart" or especially "Fall" performance would be perfect at some point.

I think she's only been performing 'Departed' from that era and it's fine.

What? The classic "Angel In Disguise" followed by the sexy jam "Do You Know"? *heaven* ALL THE CROWD IS SINGING .. "DO YOU KNOW"... WHY ON EARTH DID THEY SLEEP ON IT?! WHY? That song could have save the era. It might not have helped the album sales that much but I'm confident it could have been a big urban smash ("What You Need" too) . Oh well... Following her eras post Never Say Never have been so frustrating. ^^

Brandy tweeted she had some meetings today
My thoughts:
1. Brandy needs a solid tour, she is coming no where close to me.
2. Did you all forget when they first posted the pre-order of "Two Eleven" on iTunes and it had more tracks? Well Brandy said they may use those for the repackage.
3. I def. think they need to re-release this album. It is too good to waste.
4. Send "Without You" to AC and get Urban a remix with a rapper for "Do You Know What You Have"
5. Get on some late night shows and then a bigger tour to end out the year.
6. I'm not here to see this album flop
