Does it hurt Brown that YAI lost in the first round of the regionals? I have known Brandi since she was very small and she is the most amazing PERSON that I have ever met. It is so easy to get caught up in all of the hype,especially at such a young age, but I am very proud of Brandi, as she has shown so much class and has excelled wonderfully at being, simply put, G R E A T !!!!!!
