Bey_Rihstan Posted June 21 Posted June 21 49 minutes ago, qurl said: they had a feud ever since the original The Boy is Mine bc the media pitted them against one another (as to who was the main R&B girl of the 90s) , then they kinda made up years later and did another song together , then Monica kinda popped off again right after and then they did a Versuz in like 2020 where Monica looked like she didn't wanna be there at all , but this remix brought them together again and Monica says their relationship is healed for real this time The fallout after the second collab was moreso because Monica kept trying to assert dominance over Brandy during the promo run (watch just about any interview with them together in 2012). Instead of confronting Monica heads up at the time, Brandy internalized it and would lash Monica on Instagram years later It's why Brandy apologized during Verzuz. I think they can only deal with eachother so much due to their differing personalities 2
kayliah Posted June 21 Posted June 21 That remix is awful from the off key first verse and contraltos dont mesh well with a light soprano like ariana ... 1 9
State of Grace. Posted June 21 Posted June 21 (edited) This was so ******* good omg. MUCH better than the yes, and? remix I was a bit underwhelmed initially because I thought they'd be just singing the old lyrics but that bridge and outro scalped me. They all sound so godly. I also love how she added the adlibs from the live performance and so many nods to the OG song. Edited June 21 by State of Grace. 3
willmcclure9 Posted June 21 Posted June 21 The remix EP on AM shows TBIM at 6 min and i thought we got an extended version but its just the video

Truth Teller Posted June 21 Posted June 21 Brandy opening with that tone This ain't it overall but that moment was a highlight. I NEED Brandy to get her second act in the mainstream. She already gets her flowers in the r&b sphere - is there a new r&b artist that doesn't cite her? - but she needs another BIG moment. I thought it was going to happen after Put It Down, then I thought it was going to happen after the Daniel Caesar collab, but it hasn't clicked yet. I hope it does cause that voice deserves a big platform (and more than one album per decade)
Saint James Posted June 21 Posted June 21 i like the bridge onwards, they made some effort. but still not sure if id stream this over the original. 1
newaespa Posted June 21 Posted June 21 oh this is so good! But didn't know Ariana have a feud with charli xcx as well, because releasing at the same date with the lorde remix?! 1
kindararenext Posted June 21 Posted June 21 somehow this is better than the original version they ate

(and because IABTM flopped) Monica got Pregnant a year later. But yes, I'm glad both seemed to have grown up. Both played a role in their dumb beef Edited June 21 by Bey_Rihstan 1
Cobato Posted June 21 Posted June 21 (edited) This song is great. I dont get the initial hate. so If Im correct based on what somebody told me back then from one of their teams(about the 2nd fallout). They were already fighting over the direction of the 2nd duet. Adding to that tension Mo accidentally spilled that the fight they had in 1998 was real on hot97 (it was never confirmed at that point). Then Brandy started to distant herself from the song(Mo was also upset that Bran's fans were attacking her and bran didnt really step in to calm the hate)..so yea the 2nd fallout seemed more damaging than the first. Glad they good now. Edited June 21 by Cobato 1
chiliam Posted June 21 Posted June 21 Omg why theres no buzz about this. She is literally serving era realness why no one move. Everyone should be freak out aboyt this. This is so iconic and the remix is actually good unlike the yes and? Mimi remix 1
Migs Posted June 21 Posted June 21 I absolutely LOVED this remix, even more so than the original version. 1
sweetkiss Posted June 21 Posted June 21 brandy breathing is my favorite song, so i cant comment, I'm too biased masterpiece 1 1

Brandy is not a contralto. You sound ignorant. She is a Mezzo-Soprano. -- The song is phenomenal. The remix elevated the song SO well, their voices blended so well and that bridge 1

But I really think she could have a cute commercial resurgence if she really wanted it.

Relampago. Posted June 21 Posted June 21 Ehh… Monica and Brandy both sound good but I don't think their voice works too well with Ariana's 2 2 1
