Ashanti is back with a hot new video for the song “The Way That I Love You.” We just posted candids last week of the singer leaving the set and now the video mysteriously leaks on to the net. Hmmmm. Hopefully, you can peep it before it’s removed, because word is it isn’t supposed to premiere until sometime next week.
Also, make sure to peep the video after the cut of Ashanti speaking on her new album, song, etc. Special shout out to DJ SynCity for sending this over!
Rap-Up TV caught up with Ashanti on the red carpet at Clive Davis’ pre-Grammy party to discuss the release date for her new album, who she’s working with this time around, the video for “The Way That I Love You,” and future collaborations with Nelly.
It’s hot….. hopefully it’ll blow up………..
First (sorry i know its lame)
I like the video theme with the crime scene and the song is not that bad either…
I like it. Watch out bitches, Ashanti is back!
Oh and what was up with the ending. It kinda left me hangin..
Ok Ashanti, getting kinda crazy on us.
I dig her hair.
I LOVE IT… GO ASHANTI…. WHOOOA!
Im buying her album
LOVE IT!!!!!! Mad Hot……..Video is PERFECT
I love it!!! Even though Beyonce and Brit Brit have already done the bath scene it’s still FIRE!! She looks good and the vocals are on point!
I love the song and video. The concept is she was imagining that she killed him. Because that’s how mad she was. But in the ending all she did was leave and give him back his phone without doing what she imagined. She was just hurt. I love it!
The song wouldnt allow me 2 finish the vid…
The vid wouldnt allow me 2 finish the song…
Double whammy…
This is a really good look for her. I liked it.
HATE THE SONG…
BUT THE VIDEO IS NICE…
VERY SHOCKED at how much Ashanti has improved vocally. I like the song and the video…pleasantly surprised at how much she has matured as an artist..
Is it my birthday? No it can’t be since I’m a Libra (lol) but Wow! First I get to hear Mariah’s newest jam and Ashanti’s video for her latest jam is amazing. I love everything about the video- the concept is hot, Ashanti looks great and her bf in the vid is a cutie . Ashanti did the darn thang for real for real.
I love the song, its hot. I dont kno how it’ll fair with pop radio tho but its a good look for ashanti. I dunno if i’dpeg it as a comeback single tho
I’M GLAD ASHANTI IS BACK.
THE VIDEO REMINDS ME OF BRITNEY SPEARS “EVERYTIME” VIDEO OR WHATEVER THAT SONG WAS CALLED. STILL GOOD VIDEO…I LOVED HOW THE MAN WAS FLOATING IN A BLOODY BATH TUB LOL.
Damn I thought she was about to kill ole boy for real in that video. LOL
Get it Ashanti! I love the song and love the video
Go Ashanti!!! She looks gorgeous as ever and her vocal skills have improved greatly! A++ The video actually made sense.
That was hot! Ashanti is back and better than ever!
Her vocal skills really seem to have improved!
wow, very good Shanti, definitely a high grade from those other horrendous songs such as switch, in this song u don’t say baby over a million times, u r not making an attempt to dance. i am very proud of u ,stick to what u do best sing songs from the heart and make beautiful movie like videos with great concepts.
i like the song and love the vid.
I’ll have to wait to hear Ashanti live before I give an opinion on her vocal performance in this song.
The whole femme fatile “kill the loser” thing was already done before. Most memorable by Gwen Stefani and Britney Spears. The bath tube scene reminds me a lot of Everytime.
I like the song though. It’s pretty hot.
the song is hot the video is hot an she looked hot she is really doing it big i see number one video on 106 and maybe trl and hopefully number 1 single i can see it number 1 on r&b charts and the other charts
Ashanti is underrated as an artist she is talented and so pretty! I think I would have killed him though!! Lol
YOU PEOPLE ARE SOME ASHANTI LOVING FOOLS SHE STILL COMING BACK WITH THA SAME OLD STORY WOOOOW BORING CAUSE YOU PEOPLE DON;T DEMAND BETTER ARTIST WE ARE STUCK WITH CASSIES OF THE WORLD AND MANY MORE NO REAL GOOD SINGERS!
THE BEST THING ABOUT THIS VIDEO WAS HOMEBOY’S HOTNESS.
CAN YOU SAY “MILLION DOLLAR SMILE”?
THE SONG WASN’T MEMORABLE. KEEP IT MOVIN
The song is ok to me, but the video is nice and she looks really pretty. Love the hair too.
And that guy is gorgeous.
WOW
maybe it was those blonde highlights that made him leave…
…but SERIOUSLY though, i was literally on the edge of my seat waiting for the video to climax, it was just like watching law & order
good look for her, definite upgrade
i LIVED
Didn’t Britney Spears do this video (ie: the bath tub scene) a few years back? But, seriously, interesting video. Song is pretty cool too, a welcome departure from her last efforts which all seemed to sound the same and were mostly about the chorus, rather than any real lyrics. Don’t you hate videos that are to be continued though, they rarely ever make a follow up video. This one didn’t say to be continued, but it just reminded me of all those that say that.
it was ok… the dress reminded me of leona lewis’s uk version of “bleeding love.” and the bath tub scene was done by beyonce. but its not bad.
Now wait one dog gone minute…. I am no Ashanti fan, but she has DEFINITELY stepped her game up. She musta had vocal lessons w/Ankh Ra or som’
There are parts of this song where she literally sounds like Beyonce if I closed my eyes (uh oh, here come the ‘ur crazy’ comments).
She looks good too and the video treatment is hot.
-Smith
p.s. shout out to Christian Keys (male interest). He’s from my hometown.
Not really feelin the song and Christin Keyes is damn fine.
*Christian
That’s homeboy from Tyler Perry plays and movies…
absolutely love it!! love Ashanti!!
and…the song was straight, but Ashanti is not a good actress. Everything looks so forced. I know people lip sing their videos but she’s not even good doing that…Oh well.
Cool video. She looked great.
I love it !!!
Ashanti’s voice wos always dis gd..she jus needed da right song !
This song by Ashanti is bomb. I must say I also like the video.
um, she looks good. the video is…interesting. kinda left me confused tho. still good to see a “plot” video rather than a random, all over the place one
honestly i think she needs to take some serious vocal lessons and stick to “whispery” songs as opposed to belting out ballads. she doesn’t have the vocal skill for it.
the song is wack, but the video is hot
The vid concept is fly, but nobody besides ashanti stans will remember that song in a month.
Thanks for the video the concept for the video like a thriller move and I like it
wow the song is hot the video is hot she look mad gansta
I love the video, even though the song is kinda mediocre It feels good to see someone actually put effort into a creative video.
DIS IS A COMBACK!!!!!!! GO ASHANTI, SERIOUSLY!!! SHE”S ON FIRE!!! AND IM GONNA BUY THE ALBUM!!!!
All i gotta say is Nelly watch ya back….lol
Umm I dont like the song…too much yellin and I dont dig the fact that she murders her man because he was cheatin..its called “movin on…its called im confident and he aint the one for me she can have him…next”
second I never thought Ashanti could sing but she doesnt sound that badd but it isnt good either….I guess my ears are use to hearin people that can sing …lol…
to the person that said people need to watch out for Ashanti..umm like who? Rihanna, Cassie or Ciara? LOL CiCi cant sing but atleast ma can dance….otherwise I dont think people like Amy WinehOuse, Chrisette Michelle, Erykah Badu, Teedra Moses or hell even Ms. Beyonce aint stuntin a non-singin singer….so please. lol
Basically the video was pathatic to watch. To have to look at a woman(black at that)go crazy to the point she chooses to give up her life by muderin a fool when basically he murded himself by cheatin on a good woman….I cant stand to hear or hell let alone watch a woman feel as if its the end of the world because the man she thought was for her, wasnt. Obviously theres someone better than the fool you chose….its sad and stupid…live your life because u only have one to live dont let a man dictate your happiness…we need more stronger women in this world or esle we will always be walked over by man as if we are apart of the damn ground…plz stand up strong blk woman…
Great video , cool song.
Hot, video and song. I’ve always been a Ashanti critic and I’ve probably only liked 4 songs of hers over her career and this is one of them. Very good look…
good vid but shanti know her mouth is aready quite wide, she was pushin it on the lip synchin a bit though.
but nice video, very intresting. had me glued for a minute!!
I like the song and video. better than her usual.
wow ppl did you not understand the vid. SHE DIDNT KILL HIM….she only imagined herself doing it. Thinking….its what normal ppl do remember? Maybe that option of killing him was extreme but then she goes back and do what normal ppl do and walk away. you know keep it ….MOVIN’. good way to step up your game ashanti.
Thanx.
btw…loved the male interest from the tyler plays too.
Love the song and the video! Go Shanti!
46/7 you obviously have serious issues, and she didn’t murder the fucking man, if you actually watched the video properly and read the previous comments she was just imagining that scenario because when someone does that to you, you feel so much anger and pain that you feel you could kill them. In the end she is just IMAGINING it and she IS in fact a strong woman, hands him his sidekick and walks away…idiot.
Notice how all the haters/retards write in caps too.
The song is hot, her vocals are on point, the beat is catchy and this video is just awesome . The killing thing (despite what haters are saying) has only really been done by Gwen Stefani in the No Doubt “It’s My Life” video and she was murdering the guys for fun and/or money, not because they cheated on her like Ashanti. And she was actually murdering them, Ashanti didn’t… As for the bath scene, of course it has been done before, it is a common scene in a normal person’s life and most people take a bath or shower after a disturbing event like this…it’s human psychology. Britney didn’t do it in the same way anyway, she fell in the bath because she hurt her head.
Real talk, haters STFU and please get an education, its clearly valuable, this is a hot comeback period.
me likey.
its different for shanti’.
i would like to hear her sing this track.
For real after Ashanti’s debut album (the only hot album she had to me) I have not been a fan, but this video and song (even though the song is hot her voice got on my nerves, but Ill get over that and get use to it before you know Ill be jamming!!!!) made me want to buy her album….and even if the concept of the tub was done before this video is sooo much better than I thought it would be. I didn’t care for the animal print top and red lipstick, but who cares!!! who cares (from Nelly song lmao) THIS SHIT WAS HOT!
i must say this song is hottt
My only ciriticisms are that since the song has such a big piano influence/sound i thnk they should have had a pianist there or something along those lines
About the dress- Leona wore something similar in the uk verision of bleedin love however she stole the dress from Beyonce who stole the dress from Naomi Campbell which was Naomi’s dress that she wore when she finished from prison.
Also the bath scene wasnt neccessary- they could have made the video so it focues more on the guy with the other gal which shows how much he betrayed ashanti- that would make the audience think oh he’s such a bastard! and then the video would be better.
Overrall i looove this song and i hope it revives her career. her voice sounds great she must have had the best singing lessons.
Haterz need to sit down because at least ashanti has put alot of effort into her new music; as opposed to cassie who didnt bother to get singing lessons and is still shagging for success.
I fucking love it…
Yes Ashanti!!
I already love the song and the video fits the song.. The concept is great..I’ve imagined killing a cheating asshole myself but of course all you do is leave the relationship..
Ummm nice song and I don’t really like Ashanti’s vibe (music, voice, personality etc) but its a nice song. I would say the video reminds me of Brittany Spears’ joint a few years back but umm I don’t get it he died but she didn’t do it. What would have been a better video is after she walks out they replay how he did die. It was kinda like they ran out of time and just skipped that part which makes the whole thing kind of stupid. You lead up to it then said forget it….anyone else feel me?
the one has spoken..SHUT THE BACK DOOR!
