Brandy sets the stage on fire!

Brandy doesn’t sell records like she did in her prime but she is still a fantastic performer. In fact, she has gotten even better onstage than she was in her younger years and she showed off exactly what she learned from choreographer Frank Gatson at the 2013 Essence Music Festival last evening.

Strutting her stuff and tossing her hair as she got into the groove, Brandy had the New Orleans crowd singing along as she thrilled them with live performances of “I Wanna Be Down”, “Baby”, “Best Friend” and “The Boy is Mine”. Naturally, the soon to be married entertainer also paid homage to her idol, Whitney Houston, with renditions of “How Will I Know” and “I Wanna Dance with Somebody”.

Brandy’s Two Eleven album is in stores now so purchase and congratulate her for a job well done. Watch her perform at the Essence Festival below:
