Brandy - Sittin' Up in My Room [1995] - Soul Train Music Awards, 2015

Wikipedia:

Brandy Rayana Norwood (born February 11, 1979) is an American singer, songwriter, and actress. She is known for her intricate vocal riffs, and is regarded as an influential figure in contemporary R&B.

Born into a musical family in McComb, Mississippi, Brandy was raised in Carson, California, where she began her career as a backing vocalist for youth music groups. After signing to Atlantic Records, she rose to prominence in the mid-1990s with her debut album, Brandy (1994), which spawned the US Billboard Hot 100 top-ten singles "I Wanna Be Down", "Baby", and "Brokenhearted". She became a television star with her lead role on the UPN sitcom Moesha (1996–2001) and portrayed Cinderella in the television film Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella (1997).

"Sittin' Up in My Room" was written and produced by Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds. Edmonds also helmed the drum programming (along with the production duo Trackmasters), synthesizer, and wurlitzer sounds, while Michael Thompson played the guitar. "Bassy" Bob Brockmann mixed the track; recording was overseen by Brad Gilderman. The record was from a number of songs Edmonds specifically penned for the soundtrack of Forest Whitaker's 1995 romantic drama film Waiting to Exhale, starring Whitney Houston and Angela Bassett.

Дорогие друзья!

Хочу выразить огромную благодарность всем, кто был с нами на концерте в Джаз-Клубе Игоря Бутмана на Таганке в честь Дня Всех Влюбленных 14 февраля! Это был невероятный вечер, полный музыки, эмоций и впечатлений.

Спасибо всем, кто сделал этот вечер таким особенным, где каждый из нас чувствовал себя частью чего-то большого и значимого.! Мы будем помнить его и с нетерпением ждать новых встреч.

❤️ Спасибо, что были с нами! ❤️

🌟 “Diary (Live)” – Alicia Keys (MTV Unplugged, 2005)
🎶 “I won’t tell your secrets… your secrets are safe with me…” 🎹❤️✨

🎤 The Loyalty Anthem of the 2000s
When Alicia released “Diary” as a single, it became the definition of trust and emotional safety in a relationship. Built around warm piano chords and a smooth, soulful groove, the song feels intimate — like a private conversation between two people.

Featuring fellow R&B artist Tony! Toni! Toné! member Jermaine Paul on background vocals (and originally featuring Tony! Toni! Toné!’s Raphael Saadiq influence stylistically), the track blends classic ‘90s soul with Alicia’s signature early-2000s polish. It’s soft, reassuring, and deeply personal.

💡 Fun Facts:
• The MTV Unplugged album debuted at No.1 on the Billboard 200.
• Alicia became the first female R&B artist to have an Unplugged album debut at No.1.
• The live version added extra vocal layers and improvisation not heard on the studio track.
• Her Unplugged performance helped solidify her reputation as one of the best live vocalists of the 2000s.

🎵 Song Info
• Released: June 29, 2004 (as the fourth single)
• Genre: R&B / Soul
• Written by: Alicia Keys, Kerry “Krucial” Brothers
• Produced by: Alicia Keys, Kerry Brothers
• Album: The Diary of Alicia Keys
• Notable for its smooth sample of “Secret Garden (Sweet Seduction Suite)” by Quincy Jones

📊 Chart Info
• Peaked at No.8 on the Billboard Hot 100
• No.2 on Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs
• Certified Gold in the U.S.
• International chart success in UK, Australia, and parts of Europe

🎤 Live Moment Highlight
Her 2005 performance on MTV Unplugged gave the song even deeper emotion — more vocal runs, more gospel influence, and that raw crowd connection that reminded everyone why Alicia dominated 2000s R&B.

💎 Best Lyric:
“My heart is yours… so all that I am is at your disposal.”

That’s grown love. That’s ride-or-die energy.

Charlie Puth faced off against the Backstreet Boys in a hilarious rap battle on the TBS show "Drop the Mic" in 2017. The episode featured playful disses, with Charlie roasting the boy band's age and style while they fired back at his solo career and looks. Recent social media reels from late 2025 have revived clips of the battle, sparking nostalgia among fans.
