A pop star's death in the Beyoncé era

Jul 14, 2004 00:38


I'm watching Brandy on "The Tonight Show" right now, and my god, what happened?

In the space of a few short years, Brandy has gone from innocuous pop girl to, in the Beyoncé Knowles era and since her last album two years ago tanked, cheap hoochie; and wannabe bad girlwith her "Afrodisiac" album.

On Leno she's wearing a gold lamé top that has a to-the-navel drop neck to show a matching gold lamé bikini bra, creating an effect that looks, at best, Beyoncé-light.

Her hair is no longer in braids (thank god, because she had those jawns pulled so tight she looked like she was balding), but is now a dyed red in long locks that also come off, at best, Beyoncé-light.

And she's matched her gold lamé top with bluejeans. Sure, they're $500 bluejeans, but they sure as hell don't look it. Hell, can't you only match gold lamé with gold lamé?

I didn't even see the shoes because I couldn't take it anymore.

Oh, the humanity!

fashion, music
