Ashanti is HOTT!!!

Wish I had her legs!!!

….looks quite nervous in the beginning. Like she’s about to enter a boxing ring or something.

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!

GOOD JOB Ashanti. I love her. I LOVED the Switch single with her and Nelly. I was disappointed it wasn’t her first single!

She did realy good.. God Bless whoever “Finally” taught her how to sing… They did a good job LOL.

i saw her performance last night..i was shocked that she actually sounded good. somebody must be taking the time off to seek out a vocal coach!

My chick is repin well see this is how you do it you dont let the haters keep you down you take the punches and roll with them take whats been said and use it for the best of your ability everyone aint going to love you or like you but they will know you…..

GO HEAD ASHANTI…She did a good job

Wow, that was actually really good! Go head Ashanti! get it mami

Go shani bonnie..Bring on the haters critiquing her every damn note

LOL @ #6, I know…Finally.

I LOVE ASHANTI, PEOPLE MAKE IT SEEM LIKE SHE CANT SING AT ALL, I MEAN SHES NO KEISHIA COLE BUT SHE CAN SING!
SHE CAN SING WELL ENOUGH TO SELL ALL THOSE RECORDS, GO SHANY

I LOVE SHANY

@ # 2 LOL SHE DOSE HAVE NICE LEGS LOLOL

@ # 4 BEFORE YOU HATE ON SHANY BONNIE LEARN HOW TO SPELL BECAUSE RIGHT LOLOL

Hate on Haters!

beautiful woman, beautiful voice!

Wow - she did great! She has truly come a LOOOOONG way with her live performances!

She did good. Not outstanding but decent.

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

Ashanti’s vocal skills have came up a lil bit I must admit….

wow. she did a good job! & she didn’t say one “baby.”
lol

And for those ppl on here on previous Ashanti posts says she cant sing, yall are crazii….I think she did a great job….she was nervous at tha start then she managed to pull through, wow Im impressed

I think those who did say she cant sing are hating for sum reason I dont know why lol

Ashanti sounded real good. I wish I could afford her makeup artist. The girl’s makeup is flawless.

Ashanti did good. Her voice has gotten better. I’m impressed.

Do it Ashanti!

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.

Oh, she been workin’ on that voice…
good job.

LMAO @ # 6!!!!

She’s so pretty…but anyone could have done that…she’s just “alright”

Great job Ashanti, I am so glad you didn’t say “it’s murder.” at the end of it.

Damn, I was waiting for her to say, “that’s bananas”!

Oh well.

Wow !!
I’m impressed….

OOOH ashanti look nice lol #31
her make up is nice she kinda look like a black version of the girl who plays Izzy on Greys Anatomy (Katherine Heigl) in a way .
Anyways she did a good job

She looks mad cute!

Ummm, if you’ll say that performance was good I may want to go into singing myself cause I could have done better than that.

You can tell she was a little nervous but she pulled through and did pretty good. Good job Ashanti. She has really improved.

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.

ashanti killed that performance. hater scan hate all they want but she did her thing. she looked great as well. go sahni. go cop album in feb.08

that performance was bland. she just lacks vocal power

lol at #23. she did good. great improvement. i guess since shes been away shes been working on that voice. Everyone Knows Ashanti didnt have the best vocals at one point. Thats not hating, thats the truth. She looks great.

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…

like her man Nelly said ole girl sole over 15 million albums world wide and she writes all her stuff (so hate or not ole girl is getting paid) and that’s bananas…

Yeah she was good!

I can’t lie…she was pretty good. The expression on her face looked like she was gonna take a blast in the face from Nelly , lol.

tilt ya head back, hun!

It was ok, I guess. I’ll give it to her, she sounds better. I just don’t think she can sing, sorry….

…so i guess she did have a little room to talk about britney’s performance

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.

The DECLARATION…TOP OF THE YEAR B*TCHES! COP THAT SH*T!!!!!!!!!!!

Keep doin your thing, Shan.

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.

ashanti really did sound wonderful, she made poor me want to cry, lol, nawl, but foreal that was beautifully song by her, i gotta give my props where they due.. and she also looked beautiful, to me she looked bout the best out of all the females artist// o yea and beyonce… ummm but i’ll take ashanti!

She still can’t sing.

The biatch cannot compare to even the lackluster Beyonce

And that performance was lackluster as well.

All she did was yell in between, she didn’t even harmonize with the song.

she ok she just not all that …. shes cute thats about it lol

she pulled it off

amazing! wow lol…that a good tone that fits her…at least its not strainy like a.keys

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!!

Heckyeah I can tell you a women deprieve of alot is that serious you hating cause you dont look like her or have her statue help me out im confused

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.

Her skin looks so MILKY lol. That is the first thing I noticed. Good job Ashanti.

@ 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

Sorry, i spelled phenomenal wrong.. typing too fast… LOL

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.

it was OK better than I expected!

That was good. She’s always had quite a soft voice so she did well. She looks pretty too.

She did good. She’s come a long way… You got to give the girl her props!!!

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!

She was wack!

LMFAO!!! @TAM…… LOLOLOLOLOLOL

Wow I had to watch it twice she sound good.

@60 is Ashanti has a regular voice then i wanna hear u sing

Fine shes not Aretha but she can sing, she actually has a really good singing voice and i would have never known had i not seen this performance.

She looks pretty, she doesnt look a day older than in Foolish

Mediocre for anybody else, but phenomenal/fantastic/amazing/splendiferous for Ashanti!

Cute shoes.

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

[...] • I really don’t remember Ashanti’s voice sounding this good. [CL] [...]

lol @ 72

Beautiful lady, voice wise _____________.i think we all know she is not the best singer but who is these days?

GIRL ASHANTI THEY KEEP YOU IN THEIR THOUGHTS… I GUESS AS LONG AS THEY TALKING ABOUT YOU…LOL… KEEP MAKING THAT MONEY…

Her ass CAN NOT sing!!!

“It was BANANAS…………..”

@57

NEGRO PLEEZZZEE!

I look a million times better than that timber wolf named Ashanti!

If anything you need to go and take your fugly, hat wearing ass back inside and hop on the treadmill to fix that bulging gut and get some plastic surgery to fix your face. YOU ARE NOT NELLY! Now that man is fine, you are not!

It was alright. Nothing special. She can old a note.

I was referring to Beyonce’s MUSIC not her singing!

Beyonce could get meningitis and she’d still sound better than Ashanti

Some of yall are on here attacking Ashanti for doing a good job, but yet yall when its a cassie or rihanna post, no one cares about the talent, all they can say is “oh, she is so pretty” or “oh i love her style” smh, what about the SINGING, you know the thing that they actually got a contract for,lol. So dont criticize Ashanti she can sing better than almost all the mainstream pop/rnb singers except for Beyonce. I dont even care for Ashanti much, she always kind of annoyed me but who cares, give props where props are due.

I LOVE “TANK”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She was actually in the Bay area on last friday doing a radio interview and song acapella and sounded good, it was just when she went to the high note she got a little off. I went to utube to watch some video singing live and the only time it got horrible for her is when she went to the hight note. I have came to the conclusion that she messes up when it’s time for high notes and that’s what she should work on. She will actually be okay if she gets a vocal coach an fix that problem. There is hope for her. She is not as bad as I thought.

81. Okay!

Some singers have it naturally where it doesn’t look like they are trying hard to sound right. Some people open their mouth and it just always comes out right without a clitch. Hate or love her….B is one of those singers.

I don’t really like comparing those two or any other two singers because everybody is their own individual but that’s just the truth.

ONE WORD BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

YOu go ASHANTI.. you have an extaordinary voice, I always knew. Now hataz.. you se SHE CAN REALLY SING

ASHANTI HAS GOTTEN SOME VOCAL LESSONS. I USED TO ACTUALLY BE A FAN BUT RIGHT NOW IM ON THE FENCE AFTER CONCRETE ROSE AND THE SINGLE SWITCH AND THAT HORRIBLE XMAS CD. I JUST DON’T KNOW BUT YES SHE DOES LOOK PRETTY HERE AND IM GLAD SHE DID PRETTY GOOD.

Ashanti did real good. No she’s not a powerhouse singer and she is better at singing in a soft tone but she did well.She messed up on that high note at the end but I was really impressed with her performance!She keeps getting better and better!

@85

I agree they shouldn’t be compared (though I did it anyway) but Ashanti is WAYYY too overrated

@82

OH HELL NAW!!!

Rihanna and Cassie get it worst then anyone on this website!!! They are the definition of non talent

BUT! I would buy Rihanna’s album in a hot second before I’d buy an Ashanti one. All her albums consist of OOH BABY, AAH BABY, OH BABY, HEY BABY!

Beyonce is overrated too

It wasn’t as bad as I thought it was gon be. At least she improving. But she ain’t got shit on the hottest chick in the game Bey though.

Ashanti can sing! that was really good. I can’t stand people that hate on her for stupid reasons. Just because she doesn’t run around and scream like Beyonce, it don’t mean she isn’t talented. If you think you can do better than her, go out get a record deal. I would really like to see yall try.

Oh no Beyonce sings way better than Ashanti Rihanna and Cassie all put together. I don’t think she would be so successful if she was overrated. She is very talented and people know talent when they see it. Look at how people are always dogging Rihanna and Cassie’s voices. They do scream no talent.

And did somebody just say that Ashanti sounds better than strainy Akeys. GTFOH Ashanti is alright but she ain’t no where near Alicia or Bey they can’t be touched. How old are some of ya’ll? I mean really.

all u haters will die

i like this one better http://youtube.com/watch?v=ycVNs6a5CPk

Lol. Alicia… IS too strained. Soulful voice, but NO range at all. #90/// You OBVIOUSLY have not getten ANY of Ashanti’s albums. Cuz BABY is not the basis of her albums… but ONLY people who have them and actually listened to them would know that.

To all you haters on here: I know Ashanti’s first , second and third album did not go platinum from me just buying a copy of each. So save all the negativity your putting out. You did well Ashanti, very well.

lol, i dont really think Beyonce is overrated, compared to the other chicks in the game she brings so much to table that they can only dream of doing. Some can dance but cant sing or vice versa. Bey does well in both, she is an amazing entertainer and she always gives so much during her performances. Alicia Keys is also very good at what she does. Bey is just overexposed i guess but not overrated.

op at 3:23 it was like heaven. She has talent but she needs training she should follow ashanti footsteps at that one but she has talent
http://youtube.com/watch?v=6tiU3UDcPzA

@96 wow i didnt know rhi song the athem before, she did ok. Her voice is just mad whiny and annoying at times. Music of the Sun was her best album b/c she was actually singing on that, she actually sounded very good while singing the slow joints and reggae songs.Now……well i just dont know what happened.

i agree with you ceecee and the whining gets to be annoying. she has to find a way to get rid of that if possible. she also needs alot of training because she looses her voice alot live. but i wont say she cant sing. she should focus more on singing than image

Average performance from an average performer…whatev

ontopic: ashanti sounded really good and i’m not suprised

She was really good…..really. She is very pretty. I hope she and Nelly go far..cute couple. All that’s missing with her is a HIT song….she looks better than Beyaki

LET ME TELL U HATERS ONE MOTHER THING DIS CAN SING BETTER THAN KEYISHA COLE UGLY SLEF,BEY ONCE SHE AIN’T GOT’S TO DANCE TO BE NO RNB SINGER IT’S MANY RNB DIVAS WHO OUT SELLING EVERY ONE MARIAH CAREY SHE DON’T DANCE BUT SHE SING HER ASS OFF SO DON’T HATE U JUST MAD CAUSE U NOT IN ASHANTI SHOES AND DIS IS HER BIGGEST FAN SO IF U GOT’S ANY QUESTIONS HIT ME UP ON MYSPACE AT http://www.myspace.com/richbeautifulbrittney06 ALIGHT PEACE

@ dont phase me yeah all the focus on is her image which has given her more popularity true but she has sold less records. Plus she is now constantly getting criticism and negative attention ever since GGGB dropped. I personally think she got more props with her first two albums. Youtube her singing Bob Marley’s “is this love” reggae is her thing she should have stuck to it.I was a big Rhi fan when she first dropped(im a proud bajan lol) but i have mixed feelings about her as an artist now.

LOVED THE PERFORMANCE..IT WAS EXCEPTIONAL AND REFRESHING. YOU SUNG THE SONG ACCURATELY AND LEFT ALL THE “GHETTO YODELING” TO THE HOODRATS….TO THOSE WHO DONT KNOW “GHETTO YODELING” IS WHAT YOU DO WHEN YOU CAN’T SING.

SHANI YOU CAN’T TELL EM HOW IT DONE YOU GOTTA SHOW EM

i don’t know what to say,lol. she did good, pretty average though.

I agree with every word you said!

She did a good job…MUCH better than Keyshia Cole’s performance.

“It was BANANAS…………..”

lol!

105 Go kill yo self. Beyonce looks better than Ashairy on her worst day. Rihanna Cassie Alicia too all them chicks look wayyy better than Ashitty.

And for the stans who actually compared this bitch’s voice to Alicia and Beyonce’s talent needs to jump off a cliff for that statement. Alicia and Beyonce will sing circles around Ashitty any day. Hell I would buy Rihanna’s album before I would buy hers. It’s over for her ass anyway. Didn’t Beyonce end her career years ago? I see she still struggling to come back. Alicia is back which is probably why she pushed her album back b/c she knew she couldn’t compete with Alicia. Go get a vocal coach and take yo has been boyfriend with you b/c ya’ll are both D-List.

Now watch her dumb ass stans get upset.

Awwww, get it ma! She sounded like a little angel and she’s such a naturally exotic looking girl….and how come she don’t look older than when she did foolish….shani bout to bring the heat…..she’s got a nice range to her voice…i must admit, i didn’t know she had it like that…i’m so impressed. She is wayyyy to pretty for Nelly. Shani honestly seem so cool to hang around. I can’t get over her voice…damn

shes definitely improved vocally. ..

It never fails, Haters are always around an Ashanti Topic. She did really well! Her new song is picking up on radio, daily . . . I’m happy for her becuae it seems she is on her way into a BIG comeback!!!!

Get that SHIT! She did it VERY well, she did it big but yet soft @ the same time, I’ve always been a proud fan but after watching this makes me even prouder! Git it Shan. =)

I’m actually impressed. Her voice sounded really clean. I’m not a big Ashanti fan, I mean my friends and I used to call her Ashitti but I give it to her she sounds better than she has.

This was pretty good. I am trippin off the comment about cringing waiting on her to hit a bad note. I must admit, I did do that too.

Get it mama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ashanti ashanti u did a beautiful; job and for that to be acapella.. that was just amazing not everyone can sing acapella and sing on pitch.. u did fantastic show these haters sum more of them goodies u got baby

*no homo*

go fuck yourself @113

Wow, I think Ashanti did a great job. I have always loved her music and I can’t wait until her CD drops. Keep doin your thing Ashanti cause you got lots of love.

yeah, she did alright.. It was typical for her. I thought I was about to watch Mariah or sumn the way yall talkn bout she “surprised” yall.. how?! lol I still think she sounds like a young girl singing.. she needs to get some depth to her voice! and some soul while she at it.

I did like her teeth tho.. veneers? lol

All this back and forth I just had to hear it myself. What in the world did some of you hear? That shit was weak. Ashanti is getting by on her looks and there is no law against that. She looked fly as hell though.

Face it if people can hate on beyonce then they can hate on ashanti too.
Fact is ashanti did good and sounded just as good as keyshia cole. By the end of the day all 3 women I just mention will still get paid while other miserable people with thier miserable lives just sit in front of the computer hating but inside their wishing they can have a fraction of the success those women have.

I like Jill Scott new song “You can hate on me, hate on me.
But you wasting your time.

So……..

I’m guessing the Star Spangled Banner (the true national anthem) would have been too hard for her to sing. But anyway, she was good.

She aint do nothing special.
Why did her hand look all plastic and embalmed and whatnot?

HONESTLY EVEN THOUGH I HATED ASHANTIS VOICE BUT HER MUSIC WAS ALWAYS NICE…I HAVE TO SAY HER LESSONS ARE WELL PAID OFF. SHE SOUNDS GREAT!! HER RENDITION WAS VERY NICE!!

At baseball games they always sing God Bless America. That is nothing new if you watch baseball a lot. So do not blame the girl for what they traditionally sing.

sry 2 burst everyones bubble lol…but it was IIGHT…nuthin special. it kinda reminds me of the girl tht sings the national anthem at the beginning of all the high school b-ball games lol

She ain’t no Whitney!

ashanti sounded great! and she looked great too. its funny that people have to hate on her so tough. i mean so what she closes her eyes when she sings, so many singers do that. at least she wasnt ad libbing and carrying on like a fool over exaggerating. she sounded clear. good for her.

see here we jo again.. i had to cum bak.. why do people want her to be sum1 else.. dam yall cant accept that shes ashanti and not any1 else but her dam self… ooo my gosh and this is the thing haters pick the stupidest reasons to hate……………………………….. but like i said be fore.. to all giving neggative comments ashants renditon was amazing… not sujmthing natural and usuall…. not that many people can blow like that and keep it in key during acapella….. but again.can u let her be her and not try to say she need to be sum1 else cuzzz u waisting yo tyme….. beyonce ass. hol on how in da fukk her ass get brought up anyway.. but its okay bring her ass up.. cuzz i bet they woodnt want her ass singin acapella like ashanti… hahah cuzz her ass oversings and people no it.. so if u a beyonshitty fan take that shyt and choke it.. cuzz da original princess cummion bak.. and takin ova.. say wutt u want. but dont cal her on fronts.. yah diggg.. ashanti da fuqin best

FEB 08? can’t wait to get her album…juss wanna hear ashanti sing Ballads…like this…shes great at them

Ashanti sounded alright. It was all that! Y’all acting like chick broke it down or something. She didn’t do anything to put her own stamp on it. She sounded like a lil’ girl. It was waaaaay too simple. It didn’t sound bad, but the shit wasn’t spectacular either.

ASHANTI HAS DEFINITELY STEPPED HER VOCAL GAME UP!! SHE STARTED OFF A BIT NERVOUS BUT RECOVERED HERSELF AND ENDED WITH A BANG!! GREAT JOB…CANNOT WAIT FOR THE ALBUM TOO DROP EARLY ‘08!!

EVERY DAMN THING IS OVERRATED, OKAY…LOL

This is a gossip blog so you can’t expect everybody to act like adults.

AND WHO SAID ASHANTI CANT SING!!!
LAMES I BET YALL FEEL STUPIT NOW!!!
GO SHANY BABY!!!

Ashanti looked AND souunded great!! At least she just sang the song instead of adding a bunch of notes that aren’t suppose to be there or OVERSINGING it and screaming like a wild banchi like a certain somebody who shall remain nameless.

She should definitely stick to acting.

The only reason all these haters are in here is because they are getting nervous because they KNOW that Ashanti is coming back to claim her spot. But keep on hating though, it’s great promo. The ones that don’t have haters fade away quickly. If you aint got nothing to be hated on, ain’t nobody gonna check for you.

She sounded like she always has in that vid to me. She can carry a tune, but she isn’t a good singer.

Her hair and make-up looked cute. She’s really been on point with her look lately.

GREAT JOB ASHANTI, I WILL BE PICKING UP YOUR ALBUM////

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 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!
