Monica and Brandy came together last night (February 16) on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno to sing their new duet.

Brandy is a fucking BEAST! She sung like she needed to pay her damn rent!!

Those low notes>>>>>

She struggled with it a lil when the verse started though.

Monica did ok, she was very pitchy. But her last note was cool.

I think I like this song now. When I first heard it on the radio, I was like

When did Brandy and Monica get so fine? I ain't mad at Jay Leno for trying to cop a feel.

The song itself suffers from overproduction, but the live version is tops.

yeah that performance sold the song to me....Go on Brandy...lookig good! Her voice has gotten even better over time.

I think motherhood helped.

Monica wearing a WH T-shirt. Love her for that.

Yep, both are so fine ! Brandy in those little leather shorts *sigh*

I can't stop watching this lol

FUCKIN DEATH @ Brandy trying to oversing. Monica is up there giving all kinds of face and performance while Brandy is standing like a quarterback and straining to get her voice heard over the music.

This song is a disaster. Monica should have just given this track to Brandy. Lord knows she needs all the bones thrown her way.

I'm not going to lie, it's funny seeing the difference between both of their singing. Brandy appeared to be struggling to hit simple notes while Monica was just gliding through the song and that last note? Killed it.

Honestly, I can't believe a few on here said Brandy is the better singer. They can't say that with a straight face after watching this performance.

I can definitely say that Brandy is a better singer with a straight face. And I can say it a billion times. Just because Monica yelled her way through the song doesn't mean anything. Brandy's voice is much deeper. It's always been deep. I didn't know that more power=better singer.

Lol, not here for biased opinions.

!!!!!!!!!!

I can believe it, just look at who their favorites are. I saw the thread where MJ fans and fans of Pop stars praised Brandy. I mean if you prefer Disney, vanilla music then please go UP for Brandy. But those of us who know the real and appreciate the artform will go UP for Monica.

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Y'all are so delusional. Look at Brandy's body of work, and then look at Monica's. Plenty of people praise Brandy's voice, I don't know of too many that praise Monica's.

Oh please. I never met one person in my life who praised Brandy's voice. Not that Monica has great range or anything, but she has a much better voice than Brandy.

Have you heard of Faith Evans? Here you go:

How about Jazmine Sullivan?

My interview with Philadelphia's own Jazmine Sullivan, who plays the indoor Susqeuhanna Bank Center with Maxwell on Friday, is here. The "Need U Bad" video is below. Beneath that is a clip of the 11 year old Sullivan on Showtime At The Apollo.

Talking backstage at Constitution Hall in D.C. this week, Sullivan spoke a bit about her favorite singers. Here's her top five.

1. "Kim Burrell. I'm attracted to people with wonderful tones. I have a tone similar to hers. It's very raspy, almost hoarse to ears who don’t understand it. She has a great range, actually. Her range is pretty high, and she can do a lot of vocal tricks with it. But it was the tone. ...She has a voice that has inspired a lot of singers. People who know music, know Kim Burrell. She’s a singer’s singer."

2. "Stevie Wonder. Stevie is the artist of all artists. He's so creative. His music brought so many people together: Young, old, black, white, purple, gray. His career is one to emulate. I went to his concert at the Wachovia Center. I tell you, he had 3 hours of hit after hit after hit. I almost cried. He had people of all different nationalities ... just happy. They didn't know each other, they were just singing the songs. He just brought them all together because his music is just so wonderful. When he's on stage you can tell he has such a great spirit."

3. "Donny Hathaway. His voice - He had a tone that was so beauftiful and so simple. He could sing one note, and it would mean more to you than somebody else singing a full song. I can't even explain it. That's a God given gift. The tone of his voice is just so beautiful. You felt everything he said. Just amazing."

4. "Aretha. She’s the Queen of Soul. Nobody had soul like Aretha. She sat down and played that piano....."

5 "Who would be my fifth? I’m naming all older people.... I'll say, and a lot of people will be surprised, but I’ll say Brandy…I love Brandy. I do, I do. She’s another one of the young artists who has such a different voice. Her voice is along the lines of mine. it's low, it's raspy. It’s different than most singers."

Let me know if you would like more...

India Arie, perhaps? I really could go on...

Brandy "He Is"

She's one of my favorite female vocalists in the R&B/soul genre. It's just my opinion, but I think she's the best one. This song talks about somebody finding love after a long time zof searching. Talking about Ne-Yo made me think of Brandy, because Brandy is one of the few people -- women, especially -- in modern music whose voice has changed, and when it changed she was even better. Anyway, I like this song because I study love and I study relationships and I study people and how we interact.

I guess you know more about singing than these singers do, huh? I like Monica, I really do, so I'm not going to knock her down to lift Brandy up. It's really not necessary.

Exactly. All I see is a bunch of stan talk.

I think you're the one that's mad. Looking for random tweet mentions and all. There's nothing interesting about Brandy's voice either but at least, Monica has been able to maintain success over the last decade.

Well, the SANGERS LOVE Brandy's voice.

Kim, Kelly Price, Faith Evans, Tonex, Jazmine etc. She's a BEAST! Her voice isn't interesting? But Monica's is? Oh ok. I mean, if u like yodeling....
