yeah but on larger record labels, artists only get paid so much. mrl only cater to who's hot at the moment and u can easily slip under the radar. on a smaller label you can micromanage ur career so to speak and make more money. everybody's gotta start somewhere. i think ppl get caught up in the hype on those "name brand" labels. in reality, ppl really don't pay much attn to what label ur on, just as long as they feelin u they gonna buy the album and i think that Bran has a lot of supporters behind her that will make her album as successful as it would be if she were on a mrl and she'd get more money to boot.

that's what's up^^^If the music is good it will reach an audience no matter what label your on or signed to...Ray J has a good solid song and it's bound to reach an audience one way or another.

Ray and Brandy are going to do better on this label then Atlantic, because they really fell off in the last few years. Brandy will have control here at Knockout. If she had control of the last project it woulda been a lot bigger! As for Ray-j you can preorder the cd and preorder an autographed cd! Only $10 yall better get on it! Thats a steal www.stores.musictoday.com/rayj

I believe they will do better independently as well because they have more freedom now to push and promote themselves and what not.

they will have no promo. People don't respond to the music these days. It's all about being well known, and having your face everywhere. bet can only do so much. Ask Bow Wow

Well that doesnt really say much because both Ray J and Brandy were on major labels and got no promotion. Ray J is doing waayyy better than he's ever done on an indie. And who is more known than Brandy? lol

It's true that this will most likely hurt Brandy. As for Ray J, he's fairly unknown so an independent label would help him because he could get lost in the others. However, Brandy, a fairly well known and established artist may only be hurt in a situation like this, especially internationally.

I don't want to write Brandy off just yet, but I believe she will be hurt internationally, but may at least go platnium in the US if the first singles good enough.

How is this goign to hurt brandy? First off atlantic played her when it came to single choice. Afrodisaic woulda been hella big if they right singleas were released at the right time. Brandy had an direction she watned to go with suingle choice and atlantic didnt giveher that freedom, thats whyt hey parted ways. Now brandy has TOTAL control of her projects. Everyone still knows who brandy is, the music just ddnt go overwell. So with hot music, she good. Promotion is no problem. She wont have trouble gettign shows, endorsments, talk shows, etc. She is a super star whether she is going thru a dry spell or not. Say brandy in any house hold and every one from the grandmother to the child will know who she is. She know what she is doing! An indie is a great place for her!
Now back to ray -j
DON'T MISS THE WORLD PREMIERE OF RAY J'S NEW VIDEO FOR THE SINGLE "ONE WISH" ON BET's 106th & PARK TUESDAY, AUGUST 9th! Ray J will hand deliver the clip from his forthcoming album entitled RAYDIATION which is set to be released SEPTEMBER 20th on Knockout/Sanctuary Music Group.
The single, "ONE WISH," impacted radio on July 25 and has since reached a listening audience of over 1 million in only a week. It is available for purchase online through various digital download retailers,

Even if Brandy would've came out with "Afrodisiac" her album would've still flopped. Her album was too good for radio to begin with. For material it doesn't matter what label you on, if you flop you flop. The point i'm trying to get across is, that with a smaller label, her chances of flopping have been increased twofold.

Since when did his voice get so annoying?
Everything about the vido and him seem like an Usher rip off.
I like the song other than those things.

For Once, I ACTUALLY agree with you, lol. This whole new approach with his career imo is 2nd Rate "Usher - 8701 Era". The leather pants... shirtless... Wow, lol. His voice is KINDA annoying, but in my opinion this is his best vocal effort and his best song to date.

He aint tryna sound like Brandy. They just sound alike..they always have. They're brother and sister. They sing together all the time so their tones are the same. Lots of siblings have similar sounds.

Brandy knows her range and doesn't try to sing like she's choking.
