Train Wrecks
Brandy's Sound System Crashes

Was pop singer Brandy doing her best Ashlee Simpson on Sunday, or did someone just forget to pay the electric bill?!


Either way, her performance at the annual Sensationnel Hair Idol competition (we're not kidding!) in Washington D.C. quickly turned chaotic, when both music and lyrics abruptly cut off midway through a performance of "Who Is He to You."

"Brandy absolutely wasn't lip-syncing," her rep tells TMZ. "She was singing live." After briefly being joined on stage by 5 year-old daughter Sy'rai (who she almost forgot on stage-- paging Britney!) and lil' bro Ray J, Brandy sang an a cappella version of "Almost Doesn't Count" and then wrapped up her set by performing "Full Moon."

91. Al Sharpton has just blamed the lip syncing fiasco due to racism.

93. She was singing LIVE! As soon as the music stopped, the vocals stopped!

You people are ridiculous!

And it was not a hit and run! SHe DID NOT leave the scene of the accident- the police said she was extremely cooperative and was not on the cell phone.

94. Hmmm, she was most definitely lip sycning, but I will admit that she covered up very well, she sounded good in "Almost Doesn't Count" I did think she was being charged with manslaughter or something when she got into that "accident" but oh well, I'm not judge or jury. She'll have to give an account when she stands b4 the big guy upstairs.

99. I was actually at this performance...and yes chances are that she was lip syncing..but if you've noticed over the years Brandy NEVER EVER does live performances because she has admitted she has stage fright and she has a hard time singing and dancing at the same time. She performed at the hair show not because she is a has been but because she has her OWN Sensationell hair weave brand called Pro10. Next time know your facts..then speak.

100. So she used a backing track.....SO WHAT. So does Beyonce and all of the other celebrities whose nuts are in your mouths. Ya'll obviously have sad or uneventful lives to be on sites like this all day. SMH, don't you have anything better to do??...lol...obviously not...lames. Ya'll still probably don't even have a a fraction of the money that Bran has, lol. Hatin cuz you ain't doin nothing with your life....lol...losers

The sad part is TMZ is getting paid from being celebrity stalkers, and from all of your site views and negative comments. What are you getting??? .... LOL! ...pure ignorance

Negativity subconsciously comes from a place in one's mind where there lives unhappiness. Work on your selves.... ya'll are sad, LMAO !

101. First of all the track may have stopped and even if she was lipsyncing. She was still singing accapalla; proving to all you no-talent jealous a$$holes that she can sing. Even if she didn't have a hit she is still a good performer and singer. Madonna hasn't had a real hit album in years yet no one is talking about her awful vocals.

102. Why is everybody hating on Brandy? You need to get your own life and stop being jealous. When will any of you ever accomplish what she has, in as short of a period of time.

103. Its funny how everyone is making fun of her perfoming at a hair show, how thats washed up, when she is there as part of a multi million dollar contract. Any of you people with multi million dollar anything? Didn't think so. She came back accapella and was awsome, because thats Brandy-talented beautiful young lady who puts so much good in the world. People die in car accidents all the time, we all asume the risk when we are on the road so why all the hostility when shes guilty of nothing more than being a human being. You people are so sad, I think your jealous...it takes alot of negative emotion to say such harsh things about someone you know nothing about beyond thier music and their name..and even if she became a has been, its better than being a bitter jealous never was...thats why we are talking about her instead of you, cause there would be nothing to talk about..hate on haters.

104. fmcthomas Jealous of a murderer? Once you've killed someone, you're a nobody!

105. When is she going to jail?? She's partying while someones mother is dead and buried. Throw the scank in jail! She can sing all she wants there! I wonder if she plowed into and killed one of you pathetic Brandy lovers' moms if you'd be singing the same tune you are now! Losers!!!!
