Brandy was supposed to be Whitney ( they were pushing that image, even had Brandy and Whitney doing a movie together)
Aaliyah was the new Janet
Monica was the new Anita Baker
And Destiny Child was biting Allures image but DC surpassed Allure.
In that case Brandy already succeeded,you are forgetting what Whitney did in the pop lane,and how she was able to still navigate and make authentic rnb music. Plus overall singing wise she was the best of that generation vocally.
Put it this way Brandy lived up to being "next Whitney" more than anybody else you mentioned lived up to being the "next" of whoever they were supposed to be. Aaliyah was definitley not the next Janet,Monica wasn't the new Anita Baker,and well Allure isn't much to live up to. Brandy had more to live up to with Whitney being considered the goat by many,and she delivered the most
