On what happened when Whitney Houston stopped by their Pre-Grammy party rehearsal

Brandy: She was like our godmom. I kept asking, ‘Does it sound good?’ and she said, ‘It sounds great but turn the band down’

Monica: She was lively and she us to make her proud. I thank God for those last few moments with her.

On what it was like for them to work together again

Brandy: I’m honored. It doesn’t feel like work [tears up]

Monica: Don’t start. In the studio she’d have glassy eyes. I’m like ‘Brandy!’ She’s very emotional.

On how they both been affected by death

Monica: Death made me appreciate life. After burying my first love, I realized life was too short.

Brandy: I wish I had spoken to Monica after that terrible accident. It was a very hard time. My life had to be perfect; I didn’t want to show my mistakes. I learned the hard way you had to take responsibility.

On their relationships

Monica: I sing differently since I’ve met my husband. And he is so attentive to my kids [Rodney 6, and Romelo, 4 with rapper Rocko Hill].

Brandy: My daughter Syrai [9; dad is producer Robert Smith] loves Ryan, and he loves me for me. But I don’t have a ring.

Monica: Girl, I got you. I talked to Ryan. You’re good.

Brandy: You did? I told Ryan I’d marry him with a bubble-gum ring!
