( Thanx to ashantidouglas.net for the video. )
Ashanti sang ‘God Bless America’ for the first game of the MLB World Series in Boston on Wednesday night. She did a pretty good job too, check it out.
Her new album, The Declaration has been pushed to February of next year.
GOD BLESS THAT SONG IS NOW OVER…THAT WASNT GOOD AT ALL. SORRY
THEY WAS BETTER OFF LETTING ROZANNE SING IT AGAIN, A FUCKING MESS. I WILL SAY.
Stop the hating! All those vocal lessons paid off! Ashanti did her thing! No halfway, she did her thing and looked beautiful doing it! People always have to compare, she no Beyonce or no Keysha…who cares she’s Ashanti she may not be the best singer ever but she was tight in that performance and she has came a long way from when I first seen her on 106. So give cred where its due!
Ashanti did alot better than she has in the pass. Is she a power house vocalist NO, will I pay to see her in concert NO, can she out sing Rhianna and Cassie and Ciara
IMO yes. Can she hang with her peers like Beyonce, Monica, Brandy, Fantasia, JHud NO.
She sounded good for her we all know it could of been worse.
Ashanti did her thing…she gave me chills a lil bit…it take alot to do that to me…lol
SHE WAS LIP-SYNCING, IT WAS OK,
go ashanti… this gurl is like a few years away from legend status the gil already broken many records since the beatles….. and for all this power house voval ish… diana ross want a power house vocalist.. but u see she still on top… janet isnt a power house but yet u see she is still on top and last but not lease micheal jackson is not a powerhouse singer but YET!!!! he is still on top…. ashanti has the fame the money and the multi platinum albums.. so reguardless of wutt the haters do and say.. shes gonna sell big tyme… go shani.. and fo da record ashanti can blow…
She did a good job enough said…all the hating is unnecessary…congratulate when it is due and it is
JWarren how much does Ashitty pay u? She’s a legend in the making? ROTFLMBAO That has to be the funniest shit I’ve ever heard. U keep praying for that b/c she’s definately gonna need it. Even Rihanna is more popular and doing a lot better than her ass.
That shit was terrible. Does she think she Beyonce who’s the Queen just like Monique said? Beyonce sang at the SuperBowl in front of millions which is something Ashitty wishes she could do. Beyonce been done knocked her ass out the game and she will never sound or look as good as Beyonce. It’s over for Ashitty b/c both her new singles are wack and nobody is feeling her ass but her few stans.
Like I said before she probably pushed back her album b/c of Alicia who everybody is loving right now and ain’t nobody even requesting any Ashitty songs. Alicia and Beyonce run the rnb game along w/ Mary and Mariah. Anybody else can forget it b/c they don’t even come close especially Ashitty’s hairy ass.
Watch the stans attack in 3…2…1….LMAO!
Ashanti is absolutely beautiful! She has a vocal coach I see… Her vocal talent is equal to girls on street singing among friends…Like the group TOTAL…
It’s okay; she knows how to market herself! Good for her!
i give Ashanti her props. She actually sounded good for once. Maybe it was because she was going to be on National TV.
@160 and @162 HOW THE HELL DO YALL KNOW THAT ALL BLACK WOMEN ARE HATING ON THIS BEAUTIFUL SONG-BIRD NAMED ASHANTI? YALL CAN’T SEE WHO’S TYPING BEHIND THE SCREEN, SO THAT’S VERY STUPIDOF YALL TO ASSUME THAT IT’S JUST BLACK WOMEN HATING. FYI THERE ARE MEN THAT’S SAYING NEGATIVE THINGS ABOUT HER TOO. DID IT ALSO EVER OCCUR YOU IDIOTS THAT THERE COULD BE NON-BLACKS COMMENTING ON HERE? LET ME GUESS NO. ANY FOOL SHOULD KNOW THAT ALOT OF NON-BLACKS ARE ENVIOUS OF BLACK PEOPLE. THEY COULD BE THE MAIN ONES HATING, WHO KNOWS? I KNOW THERE IS SOME IGNORANT BLACK WOMEN IN THIS COUNTRY THAT’S JEALOUS OF OTHER SUCCESSFUL BLACK WOMEN, STILL THEY SHOULDN’T BE CLASSED IN WITH BLACK WOMEN IN GENERAL. BLACK WOMEN IN GENERAL ARE NOT LIKE THAT. I THINK ACTUALLY I KNOW THAT WAS VERY IGNORANT OF YOU TWO TO LABEL BLACK WOMEN AS JEALOUS,BITTER, UNSTABLE CREATURES. ANYBODY OF ANY RACE CAN BE JEALOUS, BITTER, UNSTABLE CREATURES. MAYBE YOU TWO FUCKS FIT THE EQUATION. GO ON ANY SITE THAT HAS HUNDREDS OF COMMENTS ON ASHANTI, BEYONCE, MADONNA, ANGIE-JOLIE, AND HALF OF THEM WOULD MORE LIKELY TO BE NEGATIVE. WHAT RACE OF PEOPLE WOULD YOU THINK ARE NAYSAYERS. WHAT MAKES BLACK PEOPLE LOOK BE IS STEREOTYPICAL FUCKS LIKE YOU TWO. GO BACK UNDER THE ROCKS YOU DUMBASSES CRAWLED FROM. DAMN!
I love Ashanti’s voice and I miss her on the music scene.
I hope her album is successful.
# 189 wrote two full paragraphs just to hate on Ashanti… somebody’s mad and has too much time on their hands to talk about someone they don’t like!
You wrote more than her fans did! LOL
YOOO Its Just Funny to me When People Cant give Credit when it Is Due….Thats Why i HATE BLOGS because LOWLIFE People Always Talk negative(I BET THE PEOPLE WHO HATE HAS LOW SELF ESTEEM AND JUST LOVE TO HATE ON MANY ARTIST NOT JUST ASHANTI!!!!)…nEWAYS yESSS IMMA fAN SOO I DONT CARE WHAT YALL THINK IM GETTING 4 COPIES OF THE DECLARATION AND THE CLOSET FANS SHOULD JUST COME OUT LOL…ASHANTI BABY I LOVE YOU….F*CK THE HATERS YO FOR REAL CUZ YOU ALREADY MADE HISTORY THAT PEOPLE DIDNT BREAK BUT THEY STILL TALK SOOOO LATER AND KEEP YOUR HEAD UP!!!!
Well….I’m not “wowed”, but to say she hasn’t improved, vocally, would be a lie. Ashanti just doesn’t do it for me as a singer, but I will give this perfomance a “B.”
author and actress? so she writes a dumb book, appears in dumb books, writes stupid songs, has a weak voice and she gets all those titles? our society is so strange. oh yeah and this was mediocre but like someone else said, it’s amazing for her
Ashanti Cds Be Kind Of Nice. But Concrete Rose Was Garbage. The Studio Does Her Justice. Live She Cant Sing, She Average. If Average. Now Saying That She Is Even Better Than Ciara Is A Lie Lol. Cici Sings And Dances And Still Sounds Better Than Ashanti So How Can She Even Be Compared To Bee Keisha Or Alicia? That One Person Was Right Be Your Own Person. But At The Same Time If You Gone Consider Yourself The Princess Of R&b You Got To Step Your Game Way Up Mama. Tiffany Evans 15 And Look At Her Voice. Now Thats The Princess. Ashanti Has Improved Though But She Just Dont Got It. Better Than Rhianna And Cassie Though. Rhianna Been Having Hits Though Lol. Dont Attack Me Ashanti Stans It Wont Change My Opinion Lol.
She didn’t sound half bad…But come on ya’ll she’s supposed to a PROFESSIONAL right? Alright then the bar isn’t set at whether or not she hurt our ears. She’s supposed to be able to sing and quite frankly the performance was bland. She’s got the look, but that ’bout it.
Ashanti, is a hard worker, she deserves credit for her ability to stay focused on her musical and entertaining goals. There is no denying that she is a very pretty woman with creative energies which create very good results for her. She did a great job in this performance and is very courageous to sing for the opening game of the world series. Millions of people were watching her…she is a star.
200 comments are a lot for someone who “suppose to be irrelevant”…Ashanti need to do whatever she been doing to keep the haters coming
awww, dat wuz good!! *claps fo ya gurl*
First she looked great next …………. WHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTT she didn’t suck?!
Props, she wasn’t too bad at all (lotta yelling/slight straining though)……… I do give some props when due even if it hurts….I expected her to be super awful I really did…..but she wasn’t.
Ashanti did an excellent job! She’s beautiful and she’s strengthening her voice. People need to get off off her case.
Not deliberately trying to be negative but she didn’t screw it up, and she didn’t sound great by ANY stretch of the imagination. She is a so-so singer & she doesn’t have a strong voice. After the comments I was expecting her to have transformed into a soulful powerhouse or something.
It amazes me how many people hate Ashanti but they still come to things with her name on it! I cant believe some of you think Ciara sings better than Ashanti! YEAH RIGHT! Ciara sounds good because she lipsynchs.Ashanti acutally sings live.IF YOU DONT LIKE ASHANTI THEN LEAVE!
well she must have finally invested in some singin lessons..still wasnt all that tho
wow i was thinkin the same thing high school talent show…but she is hecka pretty luv the lashes ashanti
suprisingly good!
she did really good to me! at first i was kinda scared for her because she was singing in front of a lot of people, i would have been hella nervous.
you see i knew i wasnt the only one….ASHANTI was Great and I hate when people say OHH ciara And Rihanna And Who the Hel* Esle sing better(plaese lets be 4real)!!! PEOPLE this Is Not A RACE….They ALL have their fan Bases and I just Hate When people try to do something thats positive people show NO RESPECT dammmm If she Was Selling Crack then yall would be Hating tooo If Yall Cant sing in front of 50 thousand+ people dont speak on it and If yall dont like Her WHY SHE KEEP GOING DOUBLE PLATINUM Yeahhh Think about It….Ashanti Fan 4life!!!
The Declaration
Winter 2008
The Real Princess Is BACK
Ashanti you’re the best…I love love love that girl….you sounded amazing. i am a pianist and i know music very well, and you hit EVERY NOT GREAT…
Sounded like my 10 year old niece at her school play…UNEXPERIENCED…
Ashanti really needs to get somewhere and sit it down…
AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO NOTICED THAT SHE WAS LIP SYNCHING?
WATCH IT AGAIN….THIS IS PRE-RECORDED AUDIO THAT SHE IS SINGING OVER….WHAT IT CAREFULLY.
WOW Ashanti got better she can sing? ow oh well
Wow she did a really great job on this song! I must say I am impressed. I wonder if her album will be any good, esp. since I am not a fan!
Do your thing Ashitty! You are wayyy better than Cassie/ Rihanna!!!!
Ashanti sounded great, and she is in her own lane, people need to stop comparing her to other singers because its getting tired. Stop hating on the girl. This is the problem we have the black community, we keep comparing and downgrading our own when we should be celebrating on the singers success. Go Ashanti do your thing and pay no mind to these haters, I’ll get a copy of your album in Feb 2008.
all ya”ll mutha fuckas who comment on this bitch and say she was good ooh she wasss great ur fucking retarted like cllllleeeeearly this bitch has no swagg nor talent she not one of the most beautiful girls i’ve ever seen, she”s not innovative ,she’s not a style icon ,she’s not consistant like beyonce, and the biggest question of all question’s what does she do that the next bitch caint do ?……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………exactly!
god bless my ears from hearing this bitch sing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
better than keyshia cole nfl performance fo’sho, great job
Im not surprised she sounds good… I heard her sing live here in DC about 4 years ago and she sounded great…. She sings 10x better then Ciara….
WOW… DAMN SHANI YOU GOT OVER 233 POST… GIRL NOW THAT’S WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT… KEEP EM TALKIN… PEOPLE ACTUALLY CARE ENOUGH TO HATE…LOVES IT… YOUR JOB IS DONE… HOW THEY JUST DON’T GET THEY DOING EXACTLY WHAT YOU NEED THEM TOO… LOL…GET EM GIRL….DANG 200+ POST
MY TYPO OVER 220
She did GREAT ! I lover that girl . .. .
I WASN’T EVEN GONNA WASTE MY TIME……..BUT THIS IS A HOT MESS……….THEY COULD HAVE ACTUALLY GOTTEN SOMEONE WHO REALLY CAN SING TO PERFORM THE DAMN SONG………..LET’S SAY TAMIA, MAYBE BRANDY, MAYBE MONICA, HELL AS MUCH AS I’M SICK OF SEEING AND HEARING BEYONCE SHE COULD HAVE EVEN PERFORMED THE DAMN SONG………….WTF………….SHE CAN HALF SING ON RnB RECORDS ALL DAY, BUT WHEN IT COMES TO A SONG LIKE THAT YOU SHOULD DEFINATELY HAVE SOME TYPE OF VOCAL SKILLS TO PULL THAT OF MAYBE A LITTLE VIBRATTO OR SOMETHING ASHANTI, SHE SHOULD HAVE LEARNED HOW TO MAINTAIN THAT BY NOW………….I’M A LEAVE IT AT THAT
Haha @ vocal lessons. Pretty much every has them. I’ve seen performances that she’s done years ago, and it sounded like this. So whatever you’re hearing now, she was able to do years ago. But I guess people are never satisfied. Which I guess is cool, can’t control that. Thanks for the honest and some non-honest feedback though! =)
ashanti could always sing, she was just terrible live. And for people that hate …i don’t understand how commenters can say ciara can sing when they’ve heard this.
And we still have some haters. I think Ashanti should be in the Genius Book of World records for having the most haters!
My dog Ashanti did FANTASTIC! Great job shany!
AT 113
BEYAWNSAY stan…. please sit down before you hurt yourself. On second thought… dont sit down. That way you can hurt ya self.
She must have practice for that for a long time because the Ashanti I know from a long time ago she couldn’t sing like that she must of had a vocal coach right beside her a long the way because Ashanti I know she can’t sing why she can’t sing like that in her songs that’s when she really need to sing hard like that it seem to me she play around in her songs on her album..
Good for her it wasn’t her best but it sounded better than before. Home girl scared me back in the days with that bad voice she must of had a vocal coach right beside her a long the way because it was better than her last performances i’m glad it wasn’t oh baby baby baby lol lol lol lol
But on the real though why she can’t sing like that on her albums that’s when she need to do all of that.
Well she did look good. HOWEVER, her singing was mediocre. I’ve heard children sing that song better than she. It is MY OPINION, that the music industry has lost focus. A person’s voice is no longer relevant, but if you have looks, a body, dancing ability, know somebody who knows somebody, etc. you too can get a record deal.
everyone says a 10 year old can do this..a 10 year old cant sing like that in front of millions in a baseball stadium..wtf..she did cooo..she a good singer
amazing!
