With time it has improved and I feel that no matter what she will be seen as distinguished in the industry because of her appearance, her history, and her vocals but production means alot and there's so much of her that seems to be untapped.

She has such a destinctive sound. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As far as the other comments on her production. &amp;nbsp;I kinda have to disagree with you guys. &amp;nbsp;I think her and Rodney are a GREAT fit together. &amp;nbsp;I think he brings out the best in her while working together and she does the same for him. &amp;nbsp;He gives her some of the illest production that he won't give to anybody else. &amp;nbsp;In my opinion, that's because he realizes that nobody can perform on a Rodney Jerkins track like Brandy can. &amp;nbsp;It's like nobody can perform over a Dr.Dre track like Snoop can. &amp;nbsp;There's mad people that do well at it but Snoop always gives Dre's tracks the swagger it needs. &amp;nbsp;It's like they're organically connected when it comes to the music. &amp;nbsp;When both the track and the artist are played together, it has a sound that's destinctive, melodic, and original. &amp;nbsp;So I think she does well sticking with Rodney with her music. &amp;nbsp;But I must agree with you guys when it comes to him doing her entire album. &amp;nbsp;I like her with Rodney but not for the entire album. &amp;nbsp;Maybe a good portion of it, but not the whole thing. &amp;nbsp;She did well working with Kanye. &amp;nbsp;I REALLY like what she did with Timbaland. &amp;nbsp;To me her vocal tone fits Timbaland's sound better tho. &amp;nbsp;I'll even go as far as saying that she should sign with Timbaland. &amp;nbsp;I think she would bring out a better sound for him as well. &amp;nbsp;I don't think he should produce every record on her albums if she were to sign with him, but an album heavily produced by Timbaland wouldn't be bad at all. But again, that's just me. &amp;nbsp;All of this is just MY opinion. &amp;nbsp;I'm just glad she's back. &amp;nbsp;I love that girl's voice.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;On a side note, is it me or does Dawn from Danity Kane sound almost JUST like Brandy vocally???&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;www.myspace.com/choiceizyours</description></item><item><title>re: Brandy: The Evolution of B-Rocka Part Two (Brandy Raps and Talks About a Reunion with Monica)</title><link>http://allhiphop.com/stories/alternatives/archive/2008/10/08/20560565.aspx#20564643</link><pubDate>Wed, 08 Oct 2008 19:44:43 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">0ab0b95d-286f-42d5-ba9b-6086957539ea:20564643</guid><dc:creator>Lady Ice</dc:creator><description>Great article, I love the two part series!

In fact I think it is the best album she had and then Never Say Never but real singers that don't have to dance and do all that shit never get the real credit they deserve and its cause people push R&amp;amp;B into the pop shit that runs the radio these days. &amp;nbsp;People need to quit with the bullshit and get back to the real hardcore R&amp;amp;B baby making shit.</description></item><item><title>re: Brandy: The Evolution of B-Rocka Part Two (Brandy Raps and Talks About a Reunion with Monica)</title><link>http://allhiphop.com/stories/alternatives/archive/2008/10/08/20560565.aspx#20564809</link><pubDate>Wed, 08 Oct 2008 21:13:31 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">0ab0b95d-286f-42d5-ba9b-6086957539ea:20564809</guid><dc:creator>poe</dc:creator><description>Keri Hilson &amp;gt; Brandy &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.myspace.com/musiqjunkyproductions"&gt;http://www.myspace.com/musiqjunkyproductions&lt;/a&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Brandy: The Evolution of B-Rocka Part Two (Brandy Raps and Talks About a Reunion with Monica)</title><link>http://allhiphop.com/stories/alternatives/archive/2008/10/08/20560565.aspx#20564872</link><pubDate>Wed, 08 Oct 2008 21:33:40 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">0ab0b95d-286f-42d5-ba9b-6086957539ea:20564872</guid><dc:creator>Chasing The Cool</dc:creator><description>Brandy is about to shit on the rnb game.
