Lets look at impact

Brandy was a huge especially since her look was not the beauty standard.
She was the first black Disney princess with Cinderella which was watch by 60 million people.
Had her own show with Moesha( if your 90s kid you know what comes next after mo to the e to the )
had her own doll

Aaliyah Had that sex appeal swag which is still intimated by artist like Rihanna.
Aaliyah participated in fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger's All America, and had so many women trying to dress like her. And the way she had her hair cover her eye was iconic and a mystery.
She brought new sound to mainstream r and B with the help of Timbo and Missy
Romeo must die with jet Li is still fire

Monica
Added a whole new attitude to the scene like the hood girl next door.

Best selling single

Monica Angel of mine


Brandy have you ever


Aaliyah Try again

Like I said in the other thread, Brandy was the biggest but she gassed early. She peaked on her second album.

Aaliyah was going to outlast her.

Monica was the best singer but her music wasn’t as good as the other two.
