I don’t even have to listen to them to say Nicole. I usually always bet on black, but this is a special case. We all know Shanti is all words and a cute face. Lackin in the voice area. I need someone to tell me how a mulit platinum artist that is about to come out with her 4/5 (if u want to count that collectibles crap) has not had A damn TOUR yet?!?!?! I mean, I think even Jenny from the block did a lil something (i could be wrong cause i would be damn if i would pay for that but i will look at pics to see what she wore) and we all know her pipes are busted without the modern wonders of technology. No Tour= Mediocre talent!

NICOLE’S SONG SOUNDS LIKE CIARA’S “GET UP”

Both of them sound a mess

Nicole Hands Down!!
Im Still In Love With that Tune!

@67

I think Brian is a really popular dude in Atlanta, he knows R&B singers Keri Hilson and Scar too.

LMAO @ #!5

SOME OF YAH NEED TO STOP HATING IT GETS TO A POINT IN LIFE THAT BULL GOTTA STOP. SAME O SHIT SHE CANT DANCE, SING, OR HAIRY. GET IT TOGETHER ITS 2007 PEOPLES NOT 2002

ANYWAYS NEITHER ONE IS THE BEST SINGER IN THE WORLD BUT IM HAVE TO GO WITH ASHANTI ON THIS 1 NOT BECUZ I LIKE HER MUSIC MORE BUT HER TRACK IS MORE CATCHY N BETTER!

OMG BECKY!!!!!! NICHOLE’S VERSION SUCKS, SHE TURNED THAT SHIT ALL DUMB POP/DISCO STATUSE!!!! FIRST SHE RIPS OFF THE “DONT CHA” SONG AND NOW KELIS AND ASHANTI!!! GOOD JOB NICHOLE…ON SUCKING =]]

OMG BECKY!!! NICHOLE’S RETARDED AS HELL, SHE DONE TURNED THIS COOL DANCE TRACK INTO A DAMN POP/DISCO COVER!! DIS BITCH NEEDS TA STOP RIPPIN PEOPLE OFF, FROM “DONT CHA” WITH PCD AND NOW KELIS AND ASHANTI!!!!!! GOOD JOB NICHOLE, ON SUCKING!!!!

I hate both of em. And dat kat who said ashanti sounds better than Ciara got issues.

Ashanti all the way!

I think that Nicole, by far has the better voice although on this particular song she sounds similar to Ashanti… Ashanti, always sucks to me so… I gotta give it to Nicole… I do, however want to give Ashanti props for at least venturing out with a more edgy sound than usual… Keep it up Ash, you might get it right one of these days

^^^ I believe it would be a cold day in hell when she gets it right.

um…. im not feelin the production on ashanti’s AT ALL. i havent even listened to nicole’s yet, but i bet it sounds better than this…..

ok the beats are the same…. lol i didnt know that. vocally, nicole’s is better

Nicole hands down sounds, plus the song is hot. Ashanti What are u thinking? I heard to songs from Ashanti and both of them dont sound good.

NICOLE’S VOICE IS MUCH BETTER BUT I THINK ASHANTI’S SONG IS BETTER. AND AS FAR AS LOOKS GO ASHANTI IS WAYYY PRTTIER IN MY OPINION. THE LIGHT EYES WOULD BE MORE AMAZING ON NICOLE IF THEY POPPED AGAINST A DARKER TONE (LIKE STACY DASH)BUT SHE IS STILL PRETTY BUT NOT AS PRETTY AS ASHANTI!

The Ashanti one is def more fun to listen to and catcht and plus I love Prince

First of all Ashanti’s hairy ass can’t sing.

@Matt
Nicole had the beat before Ashanti started talking (not singing) on her wack song.

Haven’t heard it but I know it’s Nicole. I knew it was a matter of time before she left the Pussycats. Is that why they are looking for a member? I remember when she was apart of Eden’s Crush. LOL, anyone remember that! That was soooo like 2000.

Nicole’s sounds WAY BETTER in my opinion. That Ashanti/7 one just sound like some thrown together mess.

Nicole….her song is catchy and she has more range…their is alot of harmonies going on in the song, the production and the vocal arrangements are perfect…sorry Ashanti fans but her song doesn’t cut it….She sounds bland and distasteful….the only thing that saves her is that the beat is hot…if this site had non-instrumental versions of the songs with only the vocals, then you can clearly see that Nicole rocked the song better!!!!

Ive had Nicole’s Steam song since early October. I thought it was tight when I got it. I just got Ashanti’s early Jan. and love it!
Although I must admit I never realized the beats were identical. I bump’d Steam for a couple weeks and feel it would only do well in the clubs and would give it a 7.5/10 and Ashanti Im still bumpin and would give it a 8.5/10 and think it’s perfect for radio.

both songs are bad

Nicole can sing wayy better than ashanti but I looove Ashanti’s song. And must yall bring my gurl ciara into this?? She is on top right now, doing her thang. She is in a league of her own, untouchable, and I’m not even one of her stans.

@Ayanna-
that crazy curly hair style she was sporting for a while was a bad look to me

anyone who doesn’t see how normal shani looks obviously only hangs around unattractive people so shani would look like a goddess compared to them

not that i really care for either song but i actually made it about 40 seconds into ashanti’s song and only about 15 seconds into nicole’s. and i commend ashanti for tryna make a comeback even though folks hate on her like she’s george bush.

I AM TIRED OF PEOPLE HATEING ON ASHANTI AND HER SINGING. ASHANTI can sing and her song is better then Nicole. Everybody that says ashanti can’t sing, i bet she can sing yall under the bleechers. Shanti got it all the way!

neither.

well here’s my number babe isn’t ashanti’s song, its 7’s song her song is u cn’t dent it feat. jim jones. is a way better song than this 1

#52 SHUT UP. Nicole’s song is way better, she can sing and dance better than ASHITY. You ain’t heard Nicole sing live and if you did you would know that she will blow Ashity out the water. Obviously you’re an hater too. Get with the program and know who has TALENT. Nicole is better and you know it.

my bad its u can’t deny it feat. jim jones

Everybody needs to quit with this skin color stuff. Yes, it is obvious that Nicole looks better than Ashanti. But Gabrielle Union looks better than Ashiti too. and she’s darker.

I like Ashanti’s version.

ASHANTI KILLED DIS!!!!! NICOLE IZ A GREAT SINGER BUT ASHANTI UNIQUE HIPHOP AND RNB VIBE MADE DAT TRACK HOT! NICOLE VOICE DIDNT FIT DA SONG…. SHES BETTER DOIN THE SLO RNB SONGZ!!!!! ASHANTI GOOD CUM BACK… BUT UR “RIDUH” OR”YOU CANT DENY IT”…. DATS A EXCELLENT CUM BACK!!!! DAT JOINT IZ FYA!!!!!!

THEY BOTH SUCK NOONIE!!!! BOOOOOOOOOOOO

Shanti can barely hold a note and Nicole (and the rest of them Pussy Cats) are just freaking annoying as all hell. But hey, worthless pop music will always top the charts.

I think Nicole’s is better, Ashanti really cant sing. And she is always saying “ooh baby” or “baby” in one of her songs!

tha pussy got this one

Nicole.

Nicole’s song is the one I liked best. I cringe when I hear Ashanti sing.

Both of them are not singers. What pisses me off bout the whole female singin game is that looks overshadow REAL talent most of the time.

Ashanti’s song is way better nicoles she can never do what ashanti did ashanti had the fastest selling debut of a female artist of all time and is the only one since the beatles to have 3 singles in the billboard top 10 so trust me nicole can never do that and to set the record straight ashanti looks way better than nicole did you see ashanti’s source magazine cover she looked HOTTTT as hell and on the cover of king and ashanti can sing better than nicole like someone said befor look at her performance with kenny chesney smokie robinson and patti labelle trust she can sing and she can Write like mary j ashanti is the only one i know who writes all her songs she dont need Bcox or ne-yo or ryan leslie she wrote every sone on her first cd and almost every song on her other cds beyonce dosnt do that or nicole so trust me ashanti got the CROWN

#118 You said it perfectly!

i vote Nicole 4 sure!!!She is the best luv her so so much!

well I don’t know if that’s the studio or not but Ashanti kinda won. She just sounded better.

I’m not a fan of Ashanti but damn, that tune is bangin’!!!

ASHANTI sings BETTER!! Moreover Nicole is a bit anyone or looks like this.Ashanti’s sing better and is prettier than Nicole, and she has more popularity, more awards…
go Shani!!!

nicole did a waaay better job and her vocals are amazing. she’s dope as hell acapella though

Of course, die-hard Ashanti fans have surfaced, prompting me to say what everybody should already know. Nicole Scherzinger has one of the better voices in pop culture today. Being attached to a group like PCD, she hasn’t had much opportunity to show her vocal chops, which is fine because she’s sexy and a great performer as well. If you’ve ever heard her live, you know she can blow Ashanti out of the water, easily. She didn’t win a national singing competition for nothing. Ashanti could never sing, not when she debuted, not now, and not when she says babe/baby a thousand times in 4 minutes. So, no, it’s not because Nicole is lighter, (whether you were referring to weight or skin color is uncertain) it’s because she has more talent, period. Ashanti fans would do well to take their blinders off… And wonder why they’re Ashanti fans to begin with.

ASHANTI IS WAY BETTER THAN NICOLE NO DOUBT.

well id ave 2 say Nicole bcuz ashantis sounds less workd on. If dem songz came on in a club defo get up 2 dance 2 nicolez. && has ne1 noticed ashantis songz all ave baby in it :S

Ashanti sounds like hot garbage as usual

Who said that Ashanti can’t write,she wrote songs like Foolish,Baby,A’int it funny and Rain on Me.All of these songs were either number 1 on the charts or in the top 10.Nicole has never even won a grammy.

ashanti did this so much betta, nichole sound like she strugglin, and ashanti can sing way betta den her yall crazy and sum haters… ashanti doin her thing and ashantis version is hotter

none of you knows about music…. but i like ashanti better…

who eva is talkin crap about ashanti is real crazy and like i said dont know about music… she has wrotee all of her songs… nobody has done it forr her… so shut up…
i like nicole too but ashanti deserves her creditss…

Hi, there!..4d54eafbfc1c8dd2634f7655e79225ac

I have to agree with #125. I listened to both songs. I’m not crazy about either one, but I will say this…Ashanti’s lack of singing ability distracted me from a totally good track. Nicole’s song isn’t that much better, but Nicole can sing circles around Ashanti. I’m not mad at her fans for taking up for her though, Ashanti is getting better as a singer. All the backlash from everyone has made her double up on the vocal coaches. It would probably say that the people who think Ashanti can sing probably have little musical ability themselves, and are just rooting for the underdog. If they did, their ear would tell them otherwise. (sorry) Although…you don’t have to be a musician to know when someone doesn’t have that great of voice. Call me a hater if you like…maybe I am. I hate that someone with so little talent can win grammy’s and have multi-platinum albums, and all the while people who can sing their asses off are getting overshadowed by singers with pretty faces and who couldn’t hold a note if I carried it for them! She might write alot of her songs, but being a songwriter doesn’t make you a good singer.

AH WHATS UP I LIKE BOTH OF THOSE SINGERS BUT
I LIKE ASHANTI MORE BECAUSE SHE IS MY 2 FAVORITE
SINGER

*NICOLE IS DE BEST..!*

omg.!
someone said dat ashanti sounds better..?
you must be deaf..!
ashanti is like de worst one..not that im insulting her
but i think nicole is way better..!
She has de most powerful voice..!

Anywayz..I LUV HER SOO MUCH..!

I’m not feeling either one. So I can’t say who sang it better.

Ashanti is da bomb!!! Nicole is fake from breast to nose etc………. Ashanti has had more success than Nicole……. Keep dreaming Nicole………

Ashanti sings way better & sold mo albums dan Nicole ITZ A FACT
