Ashanti, do you have to close you eyes in order to sing halfway decent? I say halfway becasue I felt like I was watch a high school recital. But for her it was good. At least she wasn’t dancing!

the haters can hate but this was an acapella performance and we haven’t heard her sing acapella in a long time and she did fantastic and they cant say she had a t-pain special or whatever you know she did great so stop with the negativity

Ooops sorry about my poor spelling. I’m at work and I was trying to type fast! lol.
I still stand by my comments. It’s good compared to what she’s done previously, but that’s not saying much.

Awwwww…I’m so proud of Shani! She did her thing. The girl has mos’ def been through it from her side burns to her vocals to Gotti. She deserves some recognition for the positive.
She’s a gorgeous girl.

Wow, she will never get rid of the haters, ole girl did good and she looks good, i knew she sounds good live when she did that duet with Kenny Chesney and Smoky Robinson (oooooh Baby Baby) she did really well…

Yeh, it was just alright. I think y’all are just impressed because she didn’t sound a mess like she did when her first 2 albums dropped. Good luck to her on that new album, has she picked a lead single yet. I know they were thinking bout “switch” (mess) and changed there mids.

Yes I am a self professed Ashanti hater, I’m not gonna lie to you or to myself…she irritates the hell out of me.
I have a not had my daily dose of “Ashanti HaterAid” today becasue I think she did a great job singing God Bless America…
Its very rare, if ever, I say anything nice about Ashanti.

She still can’t sing.
The biatch cannot compare to even the lackluster Beyonce
52.
heckyeah
Thursday, October 25, 2007 /
And that performance was lackluster as well.
All she did was yell in between, she didn’t even harmonize with the song.

To sing or not to sing. I like Ashanti as an artist and she is underrated as far as im concerned. Hell if they can play cassies ass non-stop on the radio then they might as well play Ashanti!!

To me there’s no doubt that she’s probably the most beautiful out of all the R&B ladies out, Beyonce included. I’ve seen her once when she was out without makeup and there isn’t much of a difference than when she has on makeup. She sang that song beautifully, I happen to be watching last night. Great Job, the only thing left for her to do now is incorpate some of those vocals into her own songs, she’s always been good at doing it with remakes but has yet to translate it to her own albums. Good Luck.

@ HeckYeah… Beyonce is far from LACKLUSTER, baby.. PLEASE!! Are you serious?!! LOL.. Obviously, you’ve never seen her live, so your ignorance speaks VOLUMES.
Shani sounded better than she normally does. Chick has a regular voice.. Nothing phoneomenal or special about it.. She can hold a note, which is about what she did here… Not hating, because I think she does her thing, but vocally, she just doesn’t really do it for me.
And since the haters like to bring Beyonce’;s name up IN EVERY SINGLE FORUM, I speak on her behalf when I say, “THANK YOU” for keeping her name out there–the haters do more for her staying at the top than even they know.. LOLOLOL

I thought she did a great job. You need to listen to her in the earlier years before Murder Inc (Inc), she has always been a good singer and songwriter. I’m not saying Whitney, but she was good from what I heard.

She did a good job. That means a lot coming from me because I am not a fan of hers at all. The reason she did such a good job was because she didn’t try too many runs. She sang simple and killed it. She did suttle runs, and the key change was a nice touch.
Congrats!

Ashanti is one of them singers you cringe just hoping she don’t hit the wrong note!! lol
But she did good…they must have said an extra prayer before she went that night. She looked beautiful…new teeth?

Yall are sooooooo damn funny. She sounded like she was 12 singing at a T-Ball game. However, when you can’t sing worth a damn,, anything above an Ooo Baby is better than nothing… and she did change keys… … I think she got the American Idol Voice lesson DVD……. Work Bitch
