Brandy performs the Rodgers and Hammerstein standard 'Impossible' as the Fairy Godmother in this film adaptation. The song is a duet that builds from the character's initial dismissal of the impossible (a pumpkin becoming a carriage, a country girl marrying a prince) to a gradual acceptance that such things do happen, because dreamers and believers keep making them real. Brandy's voice carries the song's arc from scepticism to wonder, anchoring the whimsy with vocal precision. The track sits at the heart of the film's central fantasy: the collision between what logic says cannot occur and what the story insists does. Her performance honours the composers' playful logic, where the impossible becomes possible not through magic alone but through the stubborn hope of those who refuse to accept sensible limits.
"Impossible" is a track by Brandy, from the album Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella (1997 Film), released 2nd November 1997. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 1 article about Brandy.
