Should songs from Brandy's Full Moon album have instead been for MJ?

Darkchild produced most of Brandy's album Full Moon in 2001 right after he finished work with MJ on Invincible. MJ's vocals can be heard on "It's Not Worth It".

It seems to be a common opinion that Full Moon was an influential album that changed R&B in the 2000s. Would the songs Darkchild made for this album have been better for MJ, or rather, should they have been on Invincible instead of Full Moon? I like the more R&B and soulful direction Darkchild took for Brandy's album. "What About Us" sounds like "Threatened", but more electrofunk and not wannabe "Thriller".

Both of these albums ('Full Moon' and 'Invincible') share a big drawback:

Rodney Jerkins and his team of producers are in the forefront, while the actual singers (Brandy, Michael Jackson) play a secondary role.
 
was Brandy hot in the late 90s/early 2000s

The songs on Full Moon that sound very Invincible-esque (in the same or similar vein as "Unbreakable", "Heartbreaker", "Invincible", "Privacy", "Threatened", etc) are "I Thought", "Can We", "What About Us", and "Anybody".

Some other songs sound like "You Rock My World", but that song was in Darkchild's trademark style before he met MJ. The other songs I mentioned are in the futuristic, digital style Darkchild developed when he was working with MJ.

Rodney Jerkins and his team of producers are in the forefront, while the actual singers (Brandy, Michael Jackson) play a secondary role.
Jerkins was the one who put Brandy on the map, though.
