Brandy opens up about the highs and lows of her career on VH1’s “Behind the Music.” Despite selling more than 20 million records, America’s sweetheart was the “unhappiest teenager in the world.”
The former “Moesha” star puts it all out there—from eating disorders to the loss of her idol Whitney Houston to her fake marriage.
Watch as Brandy goes from singing in her church choir to becoming one of R&B’s leading ladies, with commentary from her longtime producer Rodney Jerkins, manager Breyon Prescott, and family members.

This was a great episode!! I was so emotional for Brandy. Overall, I’m just so happy for her that she was finally able to put these things behind her. Behind the Music was a perfect platform for this! I just LOVE Brandy ever so dearly. She’s been through so much in her life. Her will and drive to keep pushing through is an inspiring, true-testament of Human strength. I will always be down for Brandy, no matter what. I can’t wait for the single, and new album.

Brandy should be in jail for life. She murdered a mother of two. Of course she gonna play it off like it was an accident but I can’t believe a word she says, she lied about her marriage.

@Hip-Hop Fiend, being a hater won’t bring that lady back to life, nor will it incarcerate Brandy, so find an empty stadium..and have several seats.

@Hip-Hop Fiend, You’re not funny at all…Like seriously…Just, stop trying so HARD.
You weren’t there when it happened, so just get a grip already. That is Brandy’s grievance to bear, so please…You need to have a SEAT in something that reclines.

That is a sick comment to make! SURE someone did die from that crash but the last time I checked there was more than Brandy involved! I feel sorry for the family who suffered the loss but time moves on! BRANDY is back and she needs people like you Hip-Hop Fiend to feed off of! You are a hater, but you’re gonna buy 2 Eleven! Stop fronting, leave Brandy alone and Get yo’ life boo!!! #2Eleven #PutItDown #TeamBrandy #PraiseHisLight

Lmfao at everyone saying I’m a stan on low. I never said Brandy’s music was wack. She made many bad career moves and just watching her reality show showcase how fake of a person Brandy is. What happen to her rap career? For the record Monica >>>> Brandy

@Hip-Hop Fiend, I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again, Brandy’s never made a bad album. She’s been a casualty of bad business decisions, mostly stemming from her team/labels. Whether or not you accept her as being an authentic person is your own business…And if you prefer monica, then why don’t you go find a monica topic to flood with your comments? Brandy’s the one with the E! True Hollywood Story and Behind The Music Specials. No shade, but monica would be lucky if she got an episode of “un-sung”. Hell, go buy her album, she could really use the album sales right about now.

BRANDY FUCKING NORWOOD IS BACK FOR HER THRONE. 4 albums rechart to the top 100 R/B is a triumph.
s/n How sad of a life must a person lead to go in on someone so hard about someone’s death that was ruled as an accident? Oh well. To God be the glory.
