Prepare to embark on a musical journey filled with yuletide joy as the 44-year-old gears up to serenade us with renditions perfect for the holiday.

At the same time, this commenter complimented Brandy's ensemble, writing, "The hair and fashion giving Motown homage + it's all so fresh at the same time 😮💨✨✨ brilliant." For another, her voice got them enthralled to the point that they kept "scrolling up and down to hear this run again 😢😢."
The last time the American Music Award winner got fans this excited was last year when she announced her upcoming role in the Disney+ production — sharing three images on her Instagram, the first two featured screenshots of the announcement from Variety.
The final slide showed headshots of the fellow cast members joining her in the movie. The familiar faces featured were Rita Ora, China Anne McClain, Mia Baker, Gabby Duran, Kylie Cantrall, and Dara Reneé. In the caption, "The Boy Is Mine" singer wrote:
"So excited to join this amazing cast and reprise my role as #Cinderella in the #DisneyDescendants sequel The Pocketwatch. Thank you to my @disney and @disneyplus fam ** It's Still Possible."
The 'Full Moon" Artist Addressed An Emergency Medical Incident
As the excitement builds around Brandy's upcoming movie and album release, it might be that her demanding work schedule led to her previous health scare that led to her hospitalization.
Renowned for her powerful vocals and hits, the TV personality was reportedly rushed to a local hospital when she suffered a possible seizure at her Los Angeles residence.
Law enforcement received an emergency call around noon and quickly responded to the scene. While the "Never Say Never" singer was said to be on the mend, her parents showed their support by visiting her during that time.
Taking to social media a few hours after the incident, Brandy revealed that the episode was attributed to dehydration. Reassuring her followers, the "I Still Know What You Did Last Summer" actress stated in an Instagram post:
"To my beloved fam, friends, and stars, thank you for sending love and light my way. I am following doctors' orders and getting the rest I need due to dehydration and low amounts of nutrition. Thank you for your prayers and support. Grateful for you all."
