yea never say never was when her voice was noticeably different. you also have to remember that it had been 4 years and she was 13-14 recording her first album, basically still a kid.
Joe McCoy Without a doubt I think because Monica never received the proper vocal training where as Brandy’s dad helped her and she is more of a natural singer starting at a young age. Plus you can tell Brandy really studied Whitney and gospel artists and overall she had the better career.
Brandy doesn’t and will never hold a Candle to Monica she doesn’t do ANYTHING she’s boring Monica would’ve hit all type of high notes and falsettos with Runs she’s more Whitney style
Brandy has such a UNIQUE tone!! Sure you have Melanie Fiona and Jazmine Sullivan that kinda sound like her but Brandy is BRANDY!!!! LOOOOVE this performance!!
Now Brandy is amazing but don’t come for Jazmine… literally no one is touching her and she doesn’t even sound like Brandy she literally has one of the most distinctive voices of this generation
@@Cryabtit_ she and Brandy share similar tones . There’s literally a video of them teaching each other runs . But yes Jazmine is amazing with her melisma. she’s one of the best; ONE OF .
Almost made you love me Almost made you cry Almost made you happy, baby Didn't I didn't I You almost had me thinking You were turned around But everybody knows Almost doesn't count Almost heard you saying You were finally free What was always missing for you, baby You'd found it in me But you can't get to heaven Half off the ground Everybody knows Almost doesn't count I can't keep on loving you One foot outside the door I hear a funny hesitation Of a heart that's never really sure Can't keep on trying If you're looking for more Than all that I could give you Than what you came here for Gonna find me somebody Not afraid to let go Want a no doubt be there kind of man You came real close But everytime you built me up You only let me down And everybody knows Almost doesn't count Maybe you'll be sorry Maybe you'll be cold Maybe you'll come running back, baby From the cruel cruel world Almost convince me You're gonna stick around But everybody knows Almost doesn't count So maybe I'll be here Maybe I'll see ya around That's the way it goes Almost doesn't count
I heard it too. I think the one who was doing the higher vocal line was consistently flat or under the note. She looked back at 2:33 for the same reason, I think.
She really reminds me of Whitney Houston in this clip. I think they have the same singing style, except Whitney's voice and more..."power" for lack of a better word. love them both.
Does anyone know the name of the female background singer on the left side? I see her singing everywhere with everyone, including the late and great Whitney Houston.
I love this song ,an Brandy's hair an makeup is flawless.
I can listen to this version of Almost Doesn't Count all day. It's so soothing to the ear. My girl Rocka. I love her so much!!!
The precision. The poise. The control. The distinct subtly. The truth telling. The vocal bible.
who agree that she started getting that grown up sound now
yea never say never was when her voice was noticeably different. you also have to remember that it had been 4 years and she was 13-14 recording her first album, basically still a kid.
xavier martin true
How u get my name sir. I thought i was the only Xavier Martin 😥
Xavier Martin for sure
Me
Now that's what you call FLAWLESS!!! Sounds just like Record or cd playing... melodies to my ears..
Shes so pretty
her vocals can not be battle so much control and natural runs quick vibrato , amazing tone crazy unmatchable riffs
Never say never is hands down her best album of all time. And this song so beautiful.
She has such a beautiful tone
And now her daughter sounds so much like her🥺😭😭😭♥️♥️♥️
You ain’t never lied it’s crazy!
Those full moon vocals were coming in at this time!
“So maybe I’ll be here, maybe I’ll see you around. That’s the way it’s goes. Almost doesn’t count” ☹️😫❤️
She sings this song even better now.
My favorite singer 🎙️🎤 hands down 👇 or up
if you watch this and then watch any video of her singing this as an adult, you can just hear the growth.
I love her voice. She is one of my favorite singers.
Listening in 2021 - gave me chills. Always loved me some Brandy. One of my faves songs from my childhood.
The rifts, the runs, the tone perfecto
So cool, so smooth. She's just incredible.
Brandy=braids 90s to now I felt like no one could have pull off braids like her and her voice is still sound like an angel in disguise
I really want her to record a version like this!!! The acoustic/unplugged sound is perfect for this song. 👌🏾
I love her ... hate the way the public scrutinized her in the mid
2000s
This acoustic performance is everything, I love when my favorite artist do acoustics versions of hit songs. Why is there no Brandy Unplugged?
I love Brandy her vocals is behind amazing I grew up listen to her Aaliyah and Monica I love all them and I'm only 20 years old
All three are my fave, and I'm the same age!
Strong voice she has. It's graceful and delicate
Not to stir on the Monica vs. Brandy debate but Brandy's voice was undeniably more controlled and polished!
Brandy was out before Monica.... They both have beautiful voices but I can tell the difference
Joe McCoy Without a doubt I think because Monica never received the proper vocal training where as Brandy’s dad helped her and she is more of a natural singer starting at a young age. Plus you can tell Brandy really studied Whitney and gospel artists and overall she had the better career.

Brandy is a better vocalist period.
Brandy doesn’t and will never hold a Candle to Monica she doesn’t do ANYTHING she’s boring Monica would’ve hit all type of high notes and falsettos with Runs she’s more Whitney style
2:33 bran was like damn we all on point 😂🙌🏾
Brandy has such a UNIQUE tone!! Sure you have Melanie Fiona and Jazmine Sullivan that kinda sound like her but Brandy is BRANDY!!!! LOOOOVE this performance!!
ashrick718 So true!
Now Brandy is amazing but don’t come for Jazmine… literally no one is touching her and she doesn’t even sound like Brandy she literally has one of the most distinctive voices of this generation

she’s one of the best; ONE OF .
a lovely live performance
She has a beautiful beautiful spirit.
The subtle instruction at 1:00 to say, "turn me up, I can't hear," was skillful.
I had to clap for her as if I was there 😂
She sang the hell outta this as usual 😌😌😎 love this acoustic version
so much control!! FLAWLESS vocal yet again from her
❤❤brandy the TRUTH!!! FROM my radio to my TV!!! Still have this CD...
I love, love, love Brandy's voice...my favorite.
I love this woman so much, ugh!!! Her voice is just everything to me. ❤
"Thanks kiddo" ? The disrespect is real... That bitch just slayed that song
Almost made you love me
Almost made you cry
Almost made you happy, baby
Didn't I didn't I
You almost had me thinking
You were turned around
But everybody knows
Almost doesn't count
Almost heard you saying
You were finally free
What was always missing for you, baby
You'd found it in me
But you can't get to heaven
Half off the ground
Everybody knows
Almost doesn't count
I can't keep on loving you
One foot outside the door
I hear a funny hesitation
Of a heart that's never really sure
Can't keep on trying
If you're looking for more
Than all that I could give you
Than what you came here for
Gonna find me somebody
Not afraid to let go
Want a no doubt be there kind of man
You came real close
But everytime you built me up
You only let me down
And everybody knows
Almost doesn't count
Maybe you'll be sorry
Maybe you'll be cold
Maybe you'll come running back, baby
From the cruel cruel world
Almost convince me
You're gonna stick around
But everybody knows
Almost doesn't count
So maybe I'll be here
Maybe I'll see ya around
That's the way it goes
Almost doesn't count
one of my favorite songs from her
shes gorgeous
They not singing like this no more bra 😩😩😩
Sheer perfection.
My Favorite!!!
Beautiful song
Omg that was sooooooooo beautiful she was perfect and u can def c her growth since then as well
How has she grown since then in your opinion?
that was amazing
Brandy's best performance of this song hands down 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾.
Got goose bumps 😊🥰
Awesome background vocals!
QUEEN. PERFECTION. I love you.
Perfect
my fav song from her. very talented singer
Excellent!
2:08 RAW TALENT
Classic. 👑💕👏
an angel she is...
The background singers were off at the beginning and I'm led to believe that's why Brandy did that signal at :59 seconds LOLOL
I heard it too. I think the one who was doing the higher vocal line was consistently flat or under the note. She looked back at 2:33 for the same reason, I think.
She really reminds me of Whitney Houston in this clip. I think they have the same singing style, except Whitney's voice and more..."power" for lack of a better word. love them both.
Whitney can sustain notes MUCH longer without having to "run".. that's brandy weakness. she uses WAYYYYY too many runs
@@brenttmiller93 I know that it is your opinion but I think Brandy uses her runs perfectly. It just adds to her rich, soulful tone.
Jaii Rela I enjoy her runs, but It overshadows her natural tone. She over uses them
Beyloved95 Her runs are perfect 👌🏾 hence why she’s the Vocal Bible 😉
I can definitely hear the Whitney in her voice ☺️
I love Brady and this song #almostdoesntcount
I feel like this was the first time Brandy sung with backing band and Bv’s. Can see her geeking out at the end and band vibin’
She sang with BGVs and band when she debuted
I love how at 0:30 she remembered to open her eyes LOL Looks like she's used to closing them when she sings.
I can definitely vape n chill to this 🗣💨
*currently doing just that
Ugh. This song and this voice will never get old to me. I still listen to this in 2021. Talk about timeless. 💜👑
💜💜💜
Awesome sauce 🙌🏾🙌🏾
i love me some brandy.
I so understand what she is saying. Maybe because we were both born on February, 11th. LOVE ya, sis
very very nice
❤️
that run on “cruel cruel world” was so whitney
Baby Bran!!
That’s the way it goes😭🧏🏾♀️
This song trigger me 😢 almost doesn’t count 💔
0:28-:0:50 I fell in love 😻
Sanggg brandy
Does anyone know the name of the female background singer on the left side? I see her singing everywhere with everyone, including the late and great Whitney Houston.
Sharlotte Gibson
Is this the God
3:24
+Yaya Stayfresh I miss when her voice sounded like this and she sang like this.
I just realized Christina just copied Brandy, Monica and Aalyiah and built her own journey based on this three sources...
Is that Charlotte Gibson on the far left singing BGV?
everybody know almost doesn't count
Brandy was shocked the band was so good?
He had to say her name like that at the beginning lol
Cant keep on trying
B
Chaaaaaaaama
When i was younger I never found anything special about her voice.
Shelton Logan ...and now?
@@ladylaurenia because mariah whitney and celine were around i guess
Same here until now
This was boring as hell ... she can sing but she fails to amaze me with her performances
It’s a chill ass song that doesn’t call for a grand vocal performance just vibe lol
