OHH YEAH, THE DECLARATION IS COMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I KNOW ALL YOU UNDERCOVER STANS ARE GONNA COP IT AND MAKE SURE THAT SHE HAS YET ANOTHER PLATINUM ALBUM UNDER HER BELT.

I havent listen to the clip yet…honestly, I prob want either. Was just observing how the commenting on some of the recent post tend to stray from the topic. To want to compare artists is natural but for the life of me I cant understand why people are actually saying they hate her and extensive use of the B word. Anywho, Im a fan of hers, copped all 4 albums, my fav blue cd is the best so 4 that reason I will wait 4 3 singles b4 I buy this 1.

I heard a single recently I can’t remember the name of it but it featured Ashanti and everybody was like “Who is that female singing?” Because it sounded so good. It sounded like someone elses vocals with a little bit of hers used sparingly. I don’t know but something fishy is going on! Haha!

What kind of drugs are you people on, that was horrible. Her voice is weak and whiney sounding, especially when she tries to go up in vocal. She has no creativity in her voice, just dry and bland, just like her, lol!

I didn’t really like it. *shrugs shoulders*

HOWEVER, she looks GREAT. Her hair and makeup are on point, as usual. She also has really nice teeth. LOL. I never noticed that before.

Im sorry to be negative but this is one chick who can not sing to me at all! i think she gets by on her looks…I dont hear anything appealin about her voice! Im glad her cd promotion went wrong thats just more time i dont have to hear her hollerin oh baby oh baby 300 times! lol

Oh so y’all like her now? Oh please. I will say Ashanti did pretty good because her performances were horrible! Her voice on Switch and Hey Babe sound a mess. I still can’t stand the girl and think she is an average singer. She still sells sex like the rest of the bunch and her songs are very immature. Overall, I’m still not impressed.

Why did I feel like I was watching Star Search and she was a JUNIOR VOCALIST, that was good for a 10 year old.

I personally liked it. I don’t really like when preformers put all those runs in songs that are meant to be sung by everyone. People get lost when they are singing along. I feel in patriotic songs you should just hit the parts that give you room to improvise but keep the integrity of the song, so

GOOD JOB!

I swear BLACK WOMEN on this site and in general are haters! Yall always hate Ashanti yet when something with her pops up yall the first to come here.Ashanti can sing and that’s final.No she’s not the best singer but she’s way better than Ciara, Rhianna,and Cassie.At least she doesnt oversing like Beyonce! Black women are jealous,bitter,unstable creatures that need to get a life!STOP HATING! That’s exaclty why black people arent successful because of all this hating.SUPPORT ONE ANOTHER! Ashanti can sing and yall know it,if you dont like her then leave!

She is absolutely adorable! Go Shanti! Im proud for her.. She did pretty good and the makeup and hair is always FAB!

@#160 I’m a black female…………..but I have to totally agree with you.

She looked really nice…the singing was ok…I still feel she has a voice like any girl around the block that has a lil bit of vocal skills…sorry I’m not praising her but her vocals are not great like everyone is posting…and I’m not a hater I’m just honest and know good vocal skills when I hear it….She did well for the Ashanti we know…u can see she had taken some lessons over time.

EXCELLENT !!!!!!!!!!!!! MY WIFE ASHANTI DID THE BEST DAMN SIGNING OF “GOD BLESS AMERICA” I CANT WAIT FOR HER ALBUM AND FOR HER VIDEO….GO ASHANTI YA BIGGEST FAN IS HERE CHEERING FOR U

EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I was not impressed and she had on to much make up.

Ashanti can sing she just doesn’t sing live and that’s where ppl get it confused

WOW, Shani did a good job of it!! She’s stepped up her game A LOT, since she enetered music.

Actually, I’ve never had an opportunity to listen to Ashanti’s album, but I’ve never been just disGUSTed by her voice on her radio material.

Yeah, she’s no Beyonce, but we don’t need her to be Beyonce. We have a Beyonce. We need her to be Ashanti! What’s wrong with that? I mean you could do comaparisons like India Arie and say, Whitney Houston - I mean India for damn sure isn’t Whitney, but the girl can sing. She’s just “India.” Why then can’t AShanti just be Ashanti? She gotta be able to sing like Beyonce or someone else to be considered a singer?

Ashanti kilt dat performance the girl can sang yall haters need get on ya job and stop hating on the girl becuase she is very talented and I know half wont even be able to hit a damn note like she did… Ashanti keep shittin on dem hoes…

GREAT JOB! i really loved her verison of it!! STOP HATE-N people….

SMH @ the people saying Ashanti killed it, LOL! You can’t be serious. Are we watching the same performance? Her singing is mediocre at best.

ashanti could always sing. you all are just haters

I think she did great! She didn’t over sing like some do when they get out there. I ain’t calling no names….

Haters, take a knee!!

WOW, I was impressed! She did a very good job.

kinda dry….one high note.

I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SEE WHAT SOME OF THE PEOPLE ON THESE BLOGS LOOK LIKE IN PERSON, AND HOW WELL THEY ARE DOING ON THEIR JOBS AND CAREERS (IF THEY EVEN HAVE ONE), AND HOW SUCCESSFUL THEY ARE IN LIFE. YEAH I KNOW THE PURPOSE OF BLOGS IS TO STATE YOUR OPINIONS FREELY BUT SOME OF YOU NEED LOOK AT YOURSELVES BEFORE U EXPRESS SUCH NEGATIVITY ABOUT PEOPLE U DON’T EVEN KNOW. Just my 2 cents. Have a great weekend.

I think Ashanti did a great job especially considering she started off a lil’ rocky. Go Shanti!

Don’t compare ashati to ms. cole because she can’t sing either!!! lol.. That love song was terrible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ASHANTI!!! You Go girl ! i have been a fan since 2002 when you can out with you r first CD …..I rooting for you Girl!

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 Real Princess Is BACK

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.
