part 2 to mini divas of the 90's enjoy the great voices of 90's teen divas before there was Britney or Christina these three ladies paved the way for single name teen female acts
I'm here for Aaliyah & Brandy. No one sounded like Brandy & no one had the essence of Aaliyah. Both so talented & supported by their family at a young age. That's what helped them get far.
@@brooklynjones4529 I agree with like with more then a woman and try again you could tell she was gonna be big and vocals were becoming better and better as she got older
I love for monicas neck rolls and effortlessly delivering that powerful voice. Aaliyah's smooth dance moves and voice of an angel... Brandys Adlibs and runsss! They cannot be compared. Legendary! Nobody today can compare or too them. The end. Really wish we could be looking forward to an Aaliyah,Brandy,Monica,Tlc,Xscape tour.!!
BEFORE Brandy wanted to be down, Monica was "Miss Thang" and Britney did it for the first time, Aaliyah carved her niche as a platinum teen queen in the mid 90's. R.i.P Aaliyah
Illuminate The brain no he meant what he said Aaliyah kept winning awards after motherfuckin awards all the way up to 2003 even though she died in 2001
Illuminate The brain Nope she died in 2001 , but in 2002 & 2003 her brother was present to accept his little sister’s awards that’s after her death so Aaliyah was still was receiving awards after her death in 2002-2003 .
Aaliyah easily. She was the first to come out, had the best sounding voice that didn't require screaming and looked the best. All her songs and music videos are iconic, the most I can say for the other 2 is Brandy "Moesha", Monica "Angel of Mine" and The Boy Is Mine for both.
Aaliyah and Brandy had more hits but not the power diva vocal was Monica and she younger than them. Brandy has smooth texture sweet runs. Aaliyah has sick high notes and swagger with dancing.
I love all three of these ladies for different reasons: Aaliyah was BEAUTIFUL, had a killer falsetto, could dance her ass off and had the best stage presence of all three. Brandy had the biggest career of the three and her runs are always nice and when she gets all in her lower register it's a fool. Monica's rich and beautiful voice been like this since she was 14 and since her last album came out she dressing them under the table and sounding better than she ever has!
Dboy4100X3 lies. Longevity? Brandy and Monica both had full catalogs of hits by 2001. Their careers dipped a little bit, but that happens after a string of hit albums. Aaliyah never had the success that Brandy or Monica had during her life. That's what made her death so tragic-- it was finally about to happen. It kills me when people try to re-write history.
DeshaunX your an idiot EVERY song Aaliyah had has charted outside of America she had a number one song in Japan , became the youngest female artist to perform at the Oscars , her first and second album went multi-platinum and her song try again topped the charts off of radio AirPlay and got nominated for a Grammy then won 2 vmas! Your so stupid bro
Dboy4100X3 Aaliyah had worldwide success before try again all of her albums before that charted outside of America and are you that somebody was an international success as well Not to mention if your girl only knew was a international as fuck Especially with it hitting #4 on Japan’s chart
Monica had a whole shelved album in 2001 and Missy had to revive her career in 03. Brandy did strike platinum with full moon, but it sold less than half of NSN and sold way below expectations, and her career been downhill ever since. Aaliyah had far better chart success post 1999 starting with “Try Again” What success did they have that Aaliyah didnt? Only thing was a grammy, and they both had to team up to win that.
Don't compare these talented, lovely, gifted, amazing ladies to each other. They are wonderful divas who created damn good R&B music, compare them to the generic crap we have today!!!
Vocally, i would have to say Brandy, Monica, then Aaliyah ... Brandy gives me chills lol .. all three are great tho. They were 14 & 15 years old selling millions of albums by themselves 👏👏👏 all 3 should've did a project together, it would've been EPIC !
Brandy has got the most amazing control over her voice and listening to her sing is like watching Leonardo da vinci create a masterpiece. It's just a work of art. She just sings beautifully. And her acting skills -- have you watched her guest appearance on Drop Dead Diva. whew. I would love to see her in the remake of The Bodyguard. It would be sooo amazing. And on Dancing With the Stars and Brandy in Africa she showed her dance skills. She's my favorite artist hands down.
I know this argument is wayyy over LOL but I just wanted to add one thing. Aaliyah was taking way more risks than Brandy was. That played a part in why Brandy was bigger. Brandy was America's sweetheart. Did everything the safe way. Aaliyah was unique, chose the weirdo producers in Tim and Missy, wore shades and baggy clothes, hair in her eye. Aaliyah was setting herself up for the long haul by taking risks, setting the trends that even Brandy tried to follow later.
Talkin2Me4000 i feel you on this. Brandy is an amazing vocalist arguably one the best vocalist in R&B. Career wise & both Monica & Brandy start power has decided drastically more so Monica. We are in new era and Aaliyah God rest her soul if she were here would be the most relevant. Here why: Aaliyah’s sounds was so far ahead of the two. movie 🎥 roles would’ve push Aaliyah to bigger mainstream platform.
Can we admit that Aaliyah wasn't everybody's favorite though. She became 100x more famous after her death. I agree Aaliyah took the most risks and had the most style, but she died just before all that could pay off. Her most "iconic" songs weren't even big hits during her life.
DeshaunX that’s a fucking lie Aaliyah was bigger than both of them when she was alive and had girls across America wearing bangs over their eyes and baggy pants! Don’t be ignorant
DeshaunX I think if she had another decade under herself she would have been bigger than them ! Her last album was transitioning her to pop! And she was having more stardom going into the 2000s. She was finna work with rockafella and that crew ... she definitely was going into the right direction
@@wwenewyork7570 BUT she was, she was the biggest and most successful out of the three. She was the black America's sweetheart. The girl was the first african american to star as cinderella . She literally was working aside some of the most respected actors and actresses in broadway. Those were facts
Brandy was more successful in the 90's but in 2000's she flopped while Aaliyah was getting bigger and bigger because of the move "Romeo must die" and her song "Try Again" If Aaliyah was still alive today, it will be the other way around that being said Aaliyah would've been successful than Brandy! I love brandy but I love Aaliyah more, that just been real every since!
Thanks Bajeboi!!!! All three ladies are full of talent. Though i'm a Bran fan till i die, I can appreciate just how important and how great all three ladies were then and now.
Brandy don't sing as high as she used to... I was obsessed with all three when they "first" came out! i'm still obsessed with Monica. and was obsessed with Aaliyah before she passed! I cried for A WHILE LOL!!
Aaliyah's music and lyrics . because we can relate to it. i only like Monica's Angel of mine because oft he innocent aspect. Brandy can sing her music is timely and timeless and it's about growing. but Aaliyah's music had innocense and strength is what women forget as e age. A had that nothing to lose and going all in with her style. Monica had range but her music as too grown at her age at the time.
i wouldn't compare them cuz they're so different! i LOVE each one i love Aaliyah's style and range and bradys tone and just over all voice is Amazing then of course Monica is so strong vocally that it's ridiculous! : ) thanx for posting Positive things be blessed.
It wasn't because of better management at all. In the 90s Brandy was more popular than Aaliyah. She had movies and her own hit tv show, along with her multiplatinum albums. She also got a grammy. That is the reason why she was on Oprah and she deserved to be there. Aaliyah would have been on there too because she was lined up to do alot of movies
Kevin Johnson I've been seeing a couple of your comments and I need to say something; there was more to Aaliyah than looks. You keep talking about how she was more beautiful then the others which is cool and all but see her for more what she spent her life pursuing in. A actress, singer, dancer; a full on entertainer and a good person. This comment is years old but I had to say something. Maybe you didn't mean it that way and I interpreted it wrong but..
Nah bruh Aaliyah had pipes as well. Just cus she made it look effortless, doesn't mean she was just looks. And I would say Brandy's live vocals back then were not the best, not like they are in present day...too much hype about her being the vocal bible. She can riff and run, but that doesn't make a good singer.
I loved all 3 of them man... Aaliyah to me was the best performer, I thought Monica was the strongest vocalist back then, but Brandy had the best music. They all were unique in their own way. All of em had hits man, its hard to say who was better because we all loved them. They damn sure are better than what we have now days..these people they are blasting on the radio singing this "alleged" R&B..its more Hip POP and techno. Our soulful craft just going down the drain.
Brandy has way more vocal control based on these clips. The other 2 had flat notes & pitch problems Brandy’s performances were vocally more solid than the other 2 but I love all three. Brandy just has a better musical ear & understanding of vocal placement. She has the best vocal technique out of the 3.
Brandy’s “better control” makes sense because between the 3 she’s reaching for the least amount of notes. Monica’s belting some pretty powerful notes, Projecting her voice & Aaliyah’s hitting those high head notes, exploring her vocal range and Brandy is just doing riffs staying way too much in her comfort zone... she played it the most safe.
I wish music,style&substance(above all)was around now,as it was then! Aaliyah,Brandy&Monica sung from the soul whether:A(seductively&longingly)B(wholesome&sweet)or M(sassy&self-assured!)For me,they WERE the playlist to my childhood! They're my age&i was PROUD of the heights they conquered!We ve gone from the:DIVA TRIFECTA to the OVER EXPOSED HOES!
Can we be real? Anybody who was around in the 90's would acknowledge 3 things: Brandy was the polished one with the most success. Monica was best raw singer. Aaliyah had the most style. Each had something unique to offer. As a Detroit kid, I have to admit Aaliyah got way more love after she died. Black communities always loved her, but she didn't have Brandy or Monica's commercial success. Her death was tragic, and she was on the verge of a global takeover... but she wasn't there yet.
DeshaunX your clearly ignorant, Aaliyah’s first two albums were international, The singles from One In A Million “IF YOUR GIRL ONLY KNEW” & “THE ONE I GAVE MY HEART TO “ actually if your girl only knew was #1 in Japan then in 1998 ARE YOU THAT SOMEBODY hit #1 in about 2 or 3 countries platinum certifications ALL OVER! Then in 2000 TRY AGAIN HIT #1 on the charts based solely on radio AirPlay so what are you talking about! Btw by 2000 Brandy and Monica were basically instinct!
@@wwenewyork7570 Sorry, you're wrong. "If Your Girl Only Knew" only went to #4 on the Tokio Hot 100 in Japan. None of Aaliyah's material topped "The Boy Is Mine" in sales or chart performance. "Try Again" was very successful, but it only reached #1 in the US, and the top 5 in 4 other countries. TBIM hit #1 in 3 countries, the top 3 in 5 countries, and hit #5 in Germany. Not to mention they both sold more solo records and had more #1's and top 10's in the US. Aaliyah was an angel on Earth, but y'all gotta get real about her career during her life. Her sales blew up after she died.
i in love with brandy's voice so emotional just amazing, when Aaliyah sang and danced it looked so easy that s only because she SOO talented. Monica has a great voice but nothing more. I used to say that Brandy was the best but i must confess AALIAYAH is the BEST has she got a unique style.
People always talk about Aaliyah's voice but Aaliyah always sounded exactly how she sounded on her records. Aaliyah just had such potential as an artist. She could sing and dance, plus she had style. Brandy and Monica only sing, Aaliyah was much more versatile. Monica had the strongest voice though. Brandy had more confidence in her voice than Aaliyah, that's why she sounded better live. Aaliyah was always timid.
brandy wins. it's a shame that she hasn't done more acting because she is probably's the 90s best example of successful in film, television, and music that so many wannabes are doing today (but Brandy's more special because she did it at a time when few did it) monica has attitude in her singing but she just reminds me of any whitney houston fan who can sing. brandy, also a whitney fan, succeeded because of her tone (which won fantasia idol)
Yall need to quit sleeping on monica, her first two albums were certified 3X Platinum also giving her 3 number one and 8 top 10 hits according to billboard Brandy has only one number singles which was the boy is mine ft monica so music career wise monica has done great
Last thing I'm gonna say, I Love Aaliyah and she was amazing and will always be, but don't knock Brandy and Monica's hustle. Facts are Facts, when it comes to sales and singles brandy outsold Aaliyah ... Let's be real.
In the 90s: Aaliyah Age Ain't Nothing but a Number: US: 3,000,000 million One in a Million:3,700,000. Brandy: Brandy(Album) 1994Us: 4,120,000 million, Never Say Never (1998):4.4 million You have to remember that Brandy had a really good PR team out of the three. She had her own TV shows Thea and Moesha. The Cinderella movie on ABC. These are just facts but like I said Aaliyah has ALWAYS been my favorite out of the three.
LOVE LOVE LOVE Aaliyah ..... Monica Was Coo But Not Really My Fav, BRANDY WAS THE HOTTEST & The Best Back Then HANDS DOWN ..... Number 1 Singles, Number 1 Albums On R&B Charts, And A Tv Show ...... She Was The Only One Doin It All !!!!!
Aaliyah sold over 10 million records BEFORE she passed and that was only with 2 albums. Dying doesn't always increase sales e.g Big Pun or Left eye stop downplaying her success.
As far as sucees the facts are 1)Brandy 2.)Monica 3.)Aaliyah Aaliyah is my favorite out of the three but you're just saying Aaliyah is higher because she has passed on.
@@akk1383 how old were you in 1996? I’m trying to see something... plus you’re responding to an 8 year old comment 😂. How old were you 8 years ago? lol 😆
@xGOSSIPGIRL95 U know I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE that song but I dont like him on it lol this was when I said ok Brandy can sing and you can hear the beauty in her voice. She didnt over due it it was PERFECT!...Brokenhearted I think I will listen to it now lol THANK YOU
I was suprised that with all the great songs Aaliyah had that songs like "One in a Million", "4 Page Letter","Are You That Somebody?","Rock the Boat"did not even the top ten on the billboard Hot 100 charts.Aaliyah had 4 top ten hit's and Brandy had six.
STOP fkn comparing them! They are all Great! Just embrace these wonderful, talented black women SHEESH!!
I'm here for Aaliyah & Brandy. No one sounded like Brandy & no one had the essence of Aaliyah. Both so talented & supported by their family at a young age. That's what helped them get far.
My Fav was AALIYAH but I respect Brandy & Monica. With Honorary mention; I will say Mya was dope too.
Aaliyah and Monica are my favourites but aaliyah most definetly!
Aaliyah vocals are amazing so i pick her. cause the older she got, i can tell she was getting BETTER AND BETTER
playboy justin true she was getting better it hurts me that she is not here anymore
@@brooklynjones4529 I agree with like with more then a woman and try again you could tell she was gonna be big and vocals were becoming better and better as she got older

R.i.P Aaliyah
AALIYAH all the way
Even in 2003, Aaliyah was still winning awards like American Music Awards!
You mean 2001 she passed away 2001
Illuminate The brain no he meant what he said Aaliyah kept winning awards after motherfuckin awards all the way up to 2003 even though she died in 2001
Illuminate The brain Nope she died in 2001 , but in 2002 & 2003 her brother was present to accept his little sister’s awards that’s after her death so Aaliyah was still was receiving awards after her death in 2002-2003 .
Hell she could have won something in 2004 if I’m correct which is amazing.
@@CandanceOnline yeah Aaliyah’s longevity level was remarkable 🙆🏽♂️
All 3 brought something different to the table. 3 amazing voices and women!!!
For me Aaliyah was my favorite and then Brandy and Monica.. However these young ladies started it all.. Beautiful in every sense of the word
Me too
Aaliyah all day for me.... She was the total package, Singer ,Dance, Actress. Monica & Brandy I love them too all Musical Legends.
Aaliyah hands down.
Bananred40 Aaliyah all the way preach can i a get ahem for Aaliyah woo
I love Brandy's voice the best. Its so sultry
Monica slays the other two vocally!
Aaliyah easily. She was the first to come out, had the best sounding voice that didn't require screaming and looked the best. All her songs and music videos are iconic, the most I can say for the other 2 is Brandy "Moesha", Monica "Angel of Mine" and The Boy Is Mine for both.

@@_kgreen stfu
Monica's voice is so flawless!
Brandy just shines. Like it’s effortless for her voice to just BE.
They all are talented!!! I miss the 90s
Monica’s raw vocals were the best especially when she was younger! Love me some Aaliyah as well and Brandy was cute too, I always liked Moesha!
Aaliyah and Brandy had more hits but not the power diva vocal was Monica and she younger than them. Brandy has smooth texture sweet runs. Aaliyah has sick high notes and swagger with dancing.
Welshy King sorry but Monica had more successful hits than Brandy && Aaliyah #CheckFacts
Monica had more hits
DeAngelo Spurlin are you slow no the fuck she didn’t and after the 2000s hit the only big song she had was SO GONE don’t be ignorant
Dantrell’s TV no she didn’t stop lying
Brandy. She was THAT girl.
I love all three of these ladies for different reasons:
Aaliyah was BEAUTIFUL, had a killer falsetto, could dance her ass off and had the best stage presence of all three.
Brandy had the biggest career of the three and her runs are always nice and when she gets all in her lower register it's a fool.
Monica's rich and beautiful voice been like this since she was 14 and since her last album came out she dressing them under the table and sounding better than she ever has!
Brandy - husky tone and sweetheart image
Aaliyah - angelic voice and tomboy shy image
Monica - powerful voice miss thang!!
Aaliyah was always big and had more longetivity. Brandy and Monica were falling off by the time AAliyah was gaining worldwide sucess with "try again".

They're my age&i was PROUD of the heights they conquered!We ve gone from the:DIVA TRIFECTA to the OVER EXPOSED HOES!
I am a fan of all three but Aaliyah is my favorite always!
It’s a shame all 3 didn’t make a song together when they were younger.
Runs is the ability to hold notes and be able to "play with it"
Can we be real? Anybody who was around in the 90's would acknowledge 3 things: Brandy was the polished one with the most success. Monica was best raw singer. Aaliyah had the most style. Each had something unique to offer. As a Detroit kid, I have to admit Aaliyah got way more love after she died. Black communities always loved her, but she didn't have Brandy or Monica's commercial success. Her death was tragic, and she was on the verge of a global takeover... but she wasn't there yet.
DeshaunX your clearly ignorant, Aaliyah’s first two albums were international, The singles from One In A Million “IF YOUR GIRL ONLY KNEW” & “THE ONE I GAVE MY HEART TO “ actually if your girl only knew was #1 in Japan then in 1998 ARE YOU THAT SOMEBODY hit #1 in about 2 or 3 countries platinum certifications ALL OVER! Then in 2000 TRY AGAIN HIT #1 on the charts based solely on radio AirPlay so what are you talking about! Btw by 2000 Brandy and Monica were basically instinct!
DeshaunX true but no Brandy and Monica had a number one song in 2002-2004
Tyree Hilliard no they didnt wtf
Tyree Hilliard they number one shit was in 98
@@wwenewyork7570 Sorry, you're wrong. "If Your Girl Only Knew" only went to #4 on the Tokio Hot 100 in Japan. None of Aaliyah's material topped "The Boy Is Mine" in sales or chart performance. "Try Again" was very successful, but it only reached #1 in the US, and the top 5 in 4 other countries. TBIM hit #1 in 3 countries, the top 3 in 5 countries, and hit #5 in Germany. Not to mention they both sold more solo records and had more #1's and top 10's in the US. Aaliyah was an angel on Earth, but y'all gotta get real about her career during her life. Her sales blew up after she died.
Brandy is #1
i love all 3 but i have to say brandy is my fave, i just love her husky tone to her voice its beautiful x
Brandy
i in love with brandy's voice so emotional just amazing, when Aaliyah sang and danced it looked so easy that s only because she SOO talented. Monica has a great voice but nothing more. I used to say that Brandy was the best but i must confess AALIAYAH is the BEST has she got a unique style.
BRANDY
monica,aaliyah,brandy! BUT I LOVE THEM 3! I WISH IT WAS DA 90'S!
Aaliyah Monica Brandy I would even throw in Mya even tho she came a few years later those four ran the 90s
People always talk about Aaliyah's voice but Aaliyah always sounded exactly how she sounded on her records. Aaliyah just had such potential as an artist. She could sing and dance, plus she had style. Brandy and Monica only sing, Aaliyah was much more versatile. Monica had the strongest voice though. Brandy had more confidence in her voice than Aaliyah, that's why she sounded better live. Aaliyah was always timid.
brandy wins. it's a shame that she hasn't done more acting because she is probably's the 90s best example of successful in film, television, and music that so many wannabes are doing today (but Brandy's more special because she did it at a time when few did it)
monica has attitude in her singing but she just reminds me of any whitney houston fan who can sing. brandy, also a whitney fan, succeeded because of her tone (which won fantasia idol)
NOW THIS ARE THE REALEST!!
Yall need to quit sleeping on monica, her first two albums were certified 3X Platinum also giving her 3 number one and 8 top 10 hits according to billboard Brandy has only one number singles which was the boy is mine ft monica so music career wise monica has done great
Vocals : Brandy > Monica > Aaliyah
Last thing I'm gonna say, I Love Aaliyah and she was amazing and will always be, but don't knock Brandy and Monica's hustle. Facts are Facts, when it comes to sales and singles brandy outsold Aaliyah ... Let's be real.
In the 90s: Aaliyah Age Ain't Nothing but a Number: US: 3,000,000 million One in a Million:3,700,000.
Brandy: Brandy(Album) 1994Us: 4,120,000 million, Never Say Never (1998):4.4 million
You have to remember that Brandy had a really good PR team out of the three. She had her own TV shows Thea and Moesha. The Cinderella movie on ABC. These are just facts but like I said Aaliyah has ALWAYS been my favorite out of the three.
LOVE LOVE LOVE Aaliyah ..... Monica Was Coo But Not Really My Fav,
BRANDY WAS THE HOTTEST & The Best Back Then HANDS DOWN ..... Number 1 Singles, Number 1 Albums On R&B Charts, And A Tv Show ...... She Was The Only One Doin It All !!!!!
And Monica been looking 30 her whole life when she was a teenager and still look 30 now in her 40s
Aaliyah sold over 10 million records BEFORE she passed and that was only with 2 albums. Dying doesn't always increase sales e.g Big Pun or Left eye stop downplaying her success.
Aaliyah could dance no doubt about that.
Brandy.. Easily!!!
@RhashasRandomRanting lucky I love MOnica
As far as sucees the facts are 1)Brandy 2.)Monica 3.)Aaliyah
Aaliyah is my favorite out of the three but you're just saying Aaliyah is higher because she has passed on.
@@akk1383 how old were you in 1996? I’m trying to see something... plus you’re responding to an 8 year old comment 😂. How old were you 8 years ago? lol 😆
@xGOSSIPGIRL95 U know I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE that song but I dont like him on it lol this was when I said ok Brandy can sing and you can hear the beauty in her voice. She didnt over due it it was PERFECT!...Brokenhearted I think I will listen to it now lol THANK YOU
@finderman3 bittersweet symphony
I was suprised that with all the great songs Aaliyah had that songs like
"One in a Million", "4 Page Letter","Are You That Somebody?","Rock the Boat"did not even the top ten on the billboard Hot 100 charts.Aaliyah had 4 top ten hit's and Brandy had six.
That's because 3 of the songs you've mentioned weren't singles they were just radio airplays
