Shanice: A vocal prodigy known for her incredible range (including whistle notes) and her upbeat hit “I Love Your Smile.”
Brandy: The “Vocal Bible.” Known for her unique “smoky” tone and her intricate, layered vocal harmonies that changed the way R&B was produced.
Comparison: Shanice had the more “traditional” high-range power. Brandy, however, became the more influential artist, with her vocal arrangements being studied by almost every modern R&B singer.
