‘I’ve always wanted to stay down-to-earth. I didn’t want people to look at me and say, “She thinks she’s all that.” So I tried to be the girl who was smiling all the time.’ — Brandy Norwood, 2002

“ …Mary J. Blige is mainstream, Beyoncé is mainstream, Rihanna is mainstream. Chris Brown…and all the other black artists who are really, really at superstar status are mainstream artists. So for R&B, I really don’t know. I think that rap is R&B today. If that makes any sense…and I love Lil Wayne, I love Jay-Z, I love listening to them. I love some of the rap. I can’t listen to it all day, but I love listening to some of them. I think that’s the new R&B. I mean, you have Keyshia Cole and Monica and Brandy. I’m very happy they came back out and they’re doing R&B…Brandy is kind of mainstream also, but I like their new song. I don’t know, there really isn’t any R&B to really speak of…
