Lyrics:

who would ever thought a guy
would want a girl like me
who would ever thought that i
would fall so easily
who would ever thought that we
would finally come to be
i guess they don't know
how much you mean to me
who would ever thought that they
would have some words to say
we'll go on anyway
It's alright - it's okay
take what ever comes our way
together we will stay
i got three words to say
never say never

i can't believe they'd stop our happiness
by trying to pull us down with such a mess
why can't they let us live just like the rest
and keep us out of all this crazy madness
now when they talk i think it's just a shame
that all they do is sit and think my name
when all that i do is mainly
sit and think about my baby and me

now baby they can't believe that
you and me are together
that's why they should have never
never said never
there were times when we thought that
you and me could never be together
that's why we should have never
never said never

now there's a lot of talkin' goin' 'round
about the way me and you gettin' down
what are they jealous are they hatin' me
i guess they all have their own Ph.Ds
i wish that they would just stop sweatin' me
stop tryin' to get the best of me
no matter what they say baby
we gotta move on cause we're gonna be happy

we didn't let the thoughts that we had
we didn't let the words that they said
keep us from the love we now have
never say never
simply for me to see when
never would've been never if allowed
now that we are together
never say never

Brandy Norwood Car Accident

2009-10-13T01:28:00.000-07:00

During late 2006, TMZ publicized the story that she was involved in a car wreck on a LA freeway on December 30. Following the accident, a statement to TMZ from her publicist, Courtney Barnes, confirmed Brandy's involvement in the fatal crash: "Brandy was involved in a car accident December 30, 2006 in Los Angeles where there was a fatality. She wishes to express her condolences publicly to the family of the deceased. Brandy asks that you respect the privacy of everyone involved at this time".

The accident claimed the life of 38-year-old Awatef Aboudihaj - the driver of the Toyota that was struck by her Range Rover. Aboudihaj was taken to Holy Cross Hospital in critical condition and she died the next day. The man driving directly behind Brandy at the time of the crash had an exclusive conversation with TMZ; he revealed that Brandy repeatedly blamed herself at the scene of the accident. She was not arrested and there was no evidence of use of drugs or alcohol. Brandy Norwood was not charged with vehicular manslaughter, due to "insufficient evidence". Law enforcement sources told TMZ that Brandy Norwood was driving her 2007 Range Rover at 65 mph and did not notice that cars in front of her had slowed considerably. Brandy's vehicle then slammed into the back of a 2005 Toyota, causing the Toyota to strike another vehicle before sliding sideways and impacting the center divider. As the Toyota came to a stop, it was hit by another vehicle. A well-placed source in the California Highway Patrol, however, told TMZ Aboudihaj actually struck the car in front of her and then slammed on her brakes before Brandy made contact, the sudden stop caused Brandy to hit Aboudihaj's car.

L.A. County Coroner spokesman Captain Ed Winter told TMZ that toxicology reports show Aboudihaj had "slight traces" of marijuana in her system at the time of the crash.

In December 2007, Brandy's attorney, Blair Berk, released the following statement exclusively to TMZ: "We are extremely pleased that after a more thorough and extensive investigation by authorities, the Los Angeles City Attorney has determined that Brandy Norwood should not be charged with any crime whatsoever relating to the accident back in 2006." She continued, "These past 12 months have posed an extraordinary hardship for Brandy and her family, who have been unfairly forced to live under a cloud of suspicion initially caused by the ill-advised and premature press release sent out by the California Highway Patrol accusing Brandy of wrongdoing before the police investigation was even finished. However, Brandy continues to be mindful that she was so fortunate to be uninjured in this accident and there was a life lost that should be remembered".[54] Meanwhile, speaking in May 2009 to noted R&B writer Pete Lewis of 'Blues & Soul', Brandy herself stated: "The whole experience did completely change my life. And I can say that I think I'm a better person from it. You know, I still don't understand all of it and why all of it happened. But I definitely have a heart, and my heart goes out to everyone involved. I pray about it every single day, and that's all I can really say on the subject."

There have been multiple lawsuits filed against Norwood:

Aboudihaj's parents filed a $50 million wrongful death lawsuit against Norwood. The suit was filed on January 30, 2007 Lawyers for the family of the deceased claim, "Defendant Brandy Norwood was driving recklessly in the freeway when her car collided with Awatif Aboudihaj's car". The $50 million lawsuit seeks both compensatory and punitive damages. TMZ has obtained Brandy's response to the wrongful death suit filed against her. In the papers, filed May 23, Brandy says she "denies each and every allegation in the complaint and further denies that plaintiff's have been damaged in any sum or sums whatsoever." In addition, Brandy "alleges and asserts her Fifth Amendment privileges" and asks that the matter go to trial before a jury. The lawsuit was set to go to trial in April 2009.

Another car that was involved in the accident was Donald Lite’s, who also filed a lawsuit against Norwood. Lite filed the lawsuit against Norwood, and the estate of the woman who died in the crash. Lite filed suit on December 8, 2008 claiming Norwood and Aboudihaj both failed to follow road regulations. Lite says their failure to keep a safe distance, mixed with their inability to travel at a safe speed, caused Brandy to rear-end Awatef, which sent Awatef's car smashing into his. Lite says he's suffered "serious and permanent injuries" and that he has incurred large hospital bills. He is suing for an undetermined amount. Norwood has denied all of Lite's allegations and wants the matter to be decided by a jury.

The other car that was involved in the accident was Mallory Ham's, who also filed a lawsuit against Norwood. Ham filed suit on May 25, 2007 claiming that Brandy "recklessly wantonly, unlawfully, and maliciously" operated the car. According to the document, Ham, who says he was "severely injured" as a result of the multi-car accident, is demanding that the singer pay for unspecified medical bills, pain and suffering, legal costs and punitive damages.. On July 14, 2009 it was announced that Ham setteled with Norwood for an undisclosed amount.

Awatef Aboudihaj's husband, Marouane Hdidou, also filed a lawsuit against Norwood. The suit was filed on May 3, 2007. He claims that Brandy and another motorist named Mallory Ham were "recklessly and carelessly ... traveling too fast for conditions and "following too closely" on the 405 Freeway, which factored into the collision that killed his wife. Hdidou is suing for an undisclosed amount of financial relief to cover medical and funeral expenses, as well as legal costs and other damages. Hdidou has not yet settled with Norwood. He rejected a $1.2 million settlement offer in February 2009.

Aboudihaj's 2 children also filed a lawsuit against Norwood. The 2 children will receive $300,000 each, according to court documents filed in L.A. County Superior Court on June 2, 2009.

Brandy Norwood Personal Life

2009-10-03T17:56:00.000-07:00

Between 1995 and 1997 she was dating Wanya Morris, lead singer of R&B-band Boyz II Men. In 1997 Brandy Norwood went to her high school prom w/ basketball player Kobe Bryant.

During the ensuing production of Brandy's 3rd studio album, she became involved romantically with producer Robert "Big Bert" Smith. The couple quietly began a regular relationship during the summer of 2001 but their union did not become known until February 2002—the same month she revealed that Brandy Norwood was expecting her 1st child. However, shortly after the birth of their daughter Sy'rai Iman Smith on June 16, 2002 — an event tracked by the four-part MTV reality series Special Delivery — Brandy Norwood "divorced" Smith. The "marriage" itself was later exposed as not of legal status but instead was used as a ruse to protect Brandy's image. She later stated that she regarded her relationship with Smith as a "spiritual union and true commitment to each other".

By the following year, Brandy had entered a relationship w/ New York Knicks guard Quentin Richardson. The couple soon got engaged in July 2004 but Brandy Norwood eventually ended her fifteen-month engagement with the NBA player in October 2005. As reported, She had to get a tattoo of Richardson's face on Brandy's back transformed into a cat.

Brandy Norwood Acting career

2009-09-07T16:42:00.000-07:00

In 1993, while recording Brandy Norwood's debut album, she was given the role of Danesha Turrell in the ABC sitcom Thea, playing the twelve-year-old daughter of protagonist Thea Turrell (Thea Vidale). The series was ended 8 months after its release but earned Brandy a Young Artist Award nomination for "Outstanding Youth Ensemble in a Television Series." Brandy's brief engagement earned Brandy her 1st starring role in the UPN sitcom Moesha. Appearing alongside Sheryl Lee Ralph and Countess Vaughn, Brandy Norwood played Moesha Mitchell, a typical sixteen-year-old girl from LA growing into adulthood. The program was 1st broadcasted during January 1996 on UPN, and soon became the most watched show broadcasted on the television network. Norwood who had not considered herself an actress before, gained confidence finally: "I think Moesha is so much like me that I feel real comfortable."In 2001, the network canceled the show after 6 seasons on the air, leaving it ending with a cliffhanger for a scrapped seventh season.

In 1997, She was hand-picked by executive producer Whitney Houston to play the title character in Rodgers and Hammerstein’s television version of Cinderella featuring a multi-cultural cast that also included Jason Alexander, Whoopi Goldberg, Bernadette Peters and Houston. The 2-hour Wonderful World of Disney special garnered an estimated sixty million viewers, giving the network its highest ratings in the time period in sixteen years, & won an Emmy Award. About filming Brandy Norwood later told Jet: "It was the best experience I could ever have." A year after, She made her big screen debut after winning the supporting role of sassy Karla Wilson in the franchise-flick I Still Know What You Did Last Summer. The movie outperformed the original with a total of 16.5 million at its opening weekend but critical reaction towards the film was largely disappointing, with film review site Rotten Tomatoes calculating a poor rating of seven% based on forty-six reviews. However, She earned positive reviews for her "bouncy" performance, which garnered Brandy's both Blockbuster Entertainment Award and MTV Movie Award nominations for "Best Actress" and "Best Breakthrough Female Performance" respectively. In 1999, Brandy Norwood co-starred with Diana Ross in the telefilm drama Double Platinum.

Since the early 2000s, her focus on acting has decreased to occasional guest appearances on several television shows such as Reba (2002), Sabrina, the Teenage Witch (2002), American Dreams (2004), House (2005) and One on One (2006). Also in her big-screen movie carrer, in 2001, Brandy Norwood participated in the animated/live action film Osmosis Jones, playing the voice of Leah. While plans for a Touchstone Television-produced sitcom for The CW network, scripted by Mara Brock Akil for the 2004-2005 season, failed to materialize, in 2009, She joined the production of the upcoming ABC series This Little Piggy, also starring Jeff Davis, Rebecca Cheskoff and Kevin Rahm.

But that's all I can use to state my intentions
Hope it gets to love baby, baby yeah

Cuz we fit together like a hand in glove
Just to be with you is all I'm thinkin' of
Oh oh yeah

We are alone and i'm singing this song to you

Brandy - I Wanna Be Down lyrics

"I Wanna Be Down"

I would like to get to know if I could be
The kind of girl you that you could be down for
Cuz when I look at you I feel something tell me
That your the kind of guy that I should make a move on
And if I don't let you know
Then I won't be for real
I could be wrong but I feel like something could be going on
The more I see you the more that it becomes so true
There ain't no other for me it's only you

[CHORUS:]
I wanna be down
With what you're going through
I wanna be down
I wanna be down with you
No matter what time of day or night it's true
I wanna be down

I know anybody's gonna be lonely
Without the reason they got someone to care for
Maybe all you need's a shoulder to cry on
If that's a fact than I'll be more than you ever could dream of
If all you need is the time that I got plenty of
I'll dedicate all my love until you call baby
I wanna stay by your side
Be there to call you up
And let you know everything will be all right

[REPEAT CHORUS (2x)]

Yeah oh
Yeah, oh

[REPEAT CHORUS (3x)]
