Singer Brandy Says Prayer and God Ensures Success of New Show
During a recent interview on "The Yolanda Adams Morning Show," Brandy Norwood, better known mononymously as Brandy, talked about being focused less on the numbers of her new hit show and more on God and prayer.

When asked about her thoughts on the success of "Zoe Ever After," the R&B superstar told the Adams show, "I don't really know the numbers, I just know that it's going good. I don't want it to get in my head, you know? I try and keep my faith, and keep prayed up just so that everything can continue to go and prosper."
