    “Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella”, which starred Brandy in the titular role and the late Whitney Houston as her Fairy Godmother, is set for release on Disney+ on Friday (February 12). And, ahead of its streaming premiere, Brandy and choreographer/singer Todrick Hall dropped the new video, which begins with them singing Impossible in his house, before Brandy has her princess moment in an iconic blue ballgown.

    “In 1997 I saw ‘Cinderella’ starring Brandy and it changed my life! It is THE REASON why I started singing and dancing and pursuing Broadway, so when @brandy agreed to sing with me, my fairy tale dream came true. I am living proof that dreams really do come true!” Todrick tweeted alongside the video.

    The video, which also starred Paolo Montalban, Jason Alexander and Veanne Cox, came as Brandy told Vulture magazine she’s “working on” bringing a soundtrack for “Cinderella” – which never happened upon its original release – to life.
    “I am working on that. I am definitely working on that. I keep hearing the talks about it,” she smiled.
    She also reflected on having the opportunity to sing alongside Whitney, who died in 2012, saying, “Oh my God, the singing in the studio was unbelievable. Like, we just have so many beautiful moments and it’s actually captured. You can find it – our chemistry, us trying different melodies, trying different notes. We just were very open with each other and it was a collaborative effort. And then performing it in the actual film, like shooting with her – it was just so fun. I never could have believed that if you told me that when I was a kid.”

      Monica Jokes About 'Kicking In' Brandy's Door During 'Verzuz' Battle

      by

      Verzuz

      The two RnB powerhouses’ epic ‘Verzuz’ battle comes 22 years after they release their hit ‘The Boy is Mine’ that earned them a 1998 Grammy Award for Best RnB performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals.
      Sep 1, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Monica and Brandy have squashed their decades-long feud as they had fun in the latest episode of “Verzuz” which took place on Monday, August 31. The two musicians appeared to be comfortable around each other as Monica cheekily joked about their old beef in the Live streaming session.
      “We had a disagreement and I had to kick in doors,” the “Why I Love You So Much” singer joked. The comments caught people’s attention, prompting them to wonder if she did “kick in” Brandy’s door when they were still feuding years ago. The latter, however, confirmed that she was just joking.
      The record-breaking episode, which garnered one million viewers, saw the two R&B powerhouses belting out and dancing to each other’s hits including “I Wanna Be Down” and “Don’t Take It Personal (Just One Of Dem Days)”. Not only fans, fellow celebrities such as Michelle Obama, Timbaland, Missy Elliott and Democratic vice president nominee Kamala Harris also tuned in for the episode.
      In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Monica addressed putting their feud to rest with the song battle. “We’ve long removed ourselves from the dramatics of it but we’re gonna have a very in-depth conversation that may possibly be shared even with the audience because there’s a lot that happens, the fans have no idea what really took place, what really caused the initial friction,” she revealed.
      “Hopefully, we can help some of the younger artists avoid doing the same thing because we did a whole lot more together than we did apart,” Monica added.

      Their epic “Verzuz” battle comes 22 years after they released their hit “The Boy is Mine” in 1988. The song spent 13 weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart and its music video, which featured both ladies singing fiercely at each other, also became a life-changing success. It earned them a 1998 Grammy Award for Best R&B performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals.

      “#History,” Brandy wrote on her account. “Thank you @monicadenise and @verzuztv for making this happen. Let’s celebrate!!!!”
      “This will be historical,” Monica agreed with her own post about the upcoming event. “It’s an honor @brandy.”

      Following in the footsteps of acts including Jill Scott, Erykah Badu, John Legend, DMX, Snoop Dogg, Kirk Franklin, and Alicia Keys, the pair will take it in turns to perform verses from their biggest hits to fans on Instagram Live.
      While “Verzuz” was started in March (20) to keep fans entertained amid the Covid-19 lockdown, viewers will be expecting the friendly competition to heat up between the pair, amid longstanding rumours of intense rivalry and arguments between the artists over the years.
      Brandy and Monica will go head-to-head at 8 p.m. ET on Instagram and Apple Music.

      AceShowbiz – Brandy has confirmed she is in advanced talks to revive her beloved 1990s sitcom “Moesha”.
      The singer-and-actress played the titular teen for six seasons until 2001 on the small screen, and now that the show has seen a successful revival on Netflix this month, television bosses are very keen to make a reboot.
      “I am in talks right now with the right people for that to happen,” Brandy told Entertainment Tonight. “I don’t see it not happening because of the success on Netflix. It just makes sense. I mean, I wanted to see what ‘Moesha’ was up to.”
      Amid the Black Lives Matter movement, Brandy feels passionate that “Moesha” will spread a positive message.
      “We need to see that. We need to see a black family,” she stressed. “I think that’s crucial right now, and it was crucial then.”
      As talks on the reboot advance, Brandy, 41, is taking a walk down memory lane by rewatching episodes of “Moesha” on Netflix with her 18-year-old daughter, Sy’Rai.
      “I am so blown away by that,” she gushed. “I was braiding my daughter’s hair the other day, and she wanted to watch the episode where ‘Moesha’ met Brandy, me.”
      “I don’t really have a lot of memory of ‘Moesha’ because I was so young and it was happening so fast. So to be able to watch it with my daughter is just so special for me.”
