VIDEO: ASHANTI - “THE WAY THAT I LOVE YOU”

Wednesday, February 13, 2008

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.

Why does she have to be compared to other artists. She is talented..PERIOD!! I am all for having an opinion, but most comments posted are irrelevant and unnecessary! Why tear each other down? I will never understand that!!

HOT shit! I love the whole climax of the video, it’s simple yet straightfoward. She looks stunning, sounds great & the video is sick! I love the anticipation & then at the end you realize she was only thinking about killing him & decides to just walk away. Whew, hotness.

The song is good at best but I really don’t see the difference from the other songs she has made in the past or even the video. Ashanti fails to take it there in her singing and her work. She plays it safe all the time I’m waiting for her to think out of the box for once.

I like the video but I don’t love it it doesn’t do it for me. But good luck to her ;)

the song was okay but the video made is so much better…like the concept of the video is telling the story of the lyrics what videos should be going back to..i see number 1 spot of 106 for her..

No, sounds like all her other stuff. This is going to beat out Mariah! NOT.

Ashanti voice is weak and high pitch noise. It always stays the same on every note. I can’t stand to hear her sing, it always sounds like she is trying to sing. This song has no vibe to it that will make it a chart topping song.

The video is hot!!! And you can see her acting is paying off…Shanti is beautiful, and she’s back dammit!!!

Love the hair and the whole concept….

So did she kill him or did he kill himself???

she took my man!! he is too fine for her, no wonder he cheated on her.

that bitch is wack….some scenes look like britneys video. why would you kill a man for cheating on you? just leave —

plus what is up with her hair? its not cute. it doesnt fit her. she does not look good blonde.

and why is she always whining and complaining about heart break?

176.

realistic

Wednesday, February 13, 2008 /

Once again you people are so simple. She killed her boyfriend and put him in the tub. IE the reason why she is in the tub. It’s a good back and forth. Britney, Beyonce, and Gwen were never in the tub for that same reason in their video. So, no I don’t see the similarity. Unless some of us have ADD and watch videos and just zone the fuck out and see simple things and can’t interpret the meaning.

@MYGHETTOPOPLIFE

And when i read your comment, i decided from that point that it truly was a good record. I had all the other Ashanti reserves like you all did, i.e. lip sync, no vocal ability, live performance etc etc. But in the end, you are only as hot as your last record and by that standard alone this is a hot record. Regardless of what she has done previously, you are still fans enough to listen and watch the videos. Give her the props she deserves for possibly getting voice coaching and performance tips so she can provide her fans with an Ashanti experience unlike another. And this is definitely an Ashanti experience like none ive seen before. As well as I feel that I know Ashanti as an artist from a consumer point of view, this has to set the bar for her newest work to date. Im not a huge Ashanti fan but you cant say she dont have hits…”Rain on me” “Rock w/ U” (OH BABY….LOL) and her Ja Rule collabos… and a personal favorite of mine was “Movies” from her first album. I might just go back and re watch it …. when it was over, I could only say WOW…
And dont think this is an “Oh he cant know about RandB if he thinks Ashanti is hot..”
Believe me, I got the Jill Scott and Erykah and the Mariah and Beyonce… I had the Whitney and Xscape and SWV… I came up on the Aretha and Natalie and Janet and Paula and etc…

PS… Album coming soon “The Saaaaaaauth Vol. 1″ from H-TownSound Inc Entertainment. Click on the name link for more details…. Thanks in advance!!! :)

Wednesday, February 13, 2008 /

Ummmm..why is she trying to be Beyawnce? Hate the song. The video was cool though. It seems like her vocal skills have improved BUT I have to see her perform live to know for sure. You’ll know the saying…Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

She can stop making records right now, and still outweigh your finances. Who listens to someone who cant sing and why? Half of the people hating probably downloaded the song already and its on their ipod. She’s not the best singer in the world, but it sounds a HELL of a lot better than before. I dont know about yall but this and Erykah video are the only two that were good this year.

Never have I been an Ashanti fan, but I must admit, I liked this video. It reminded me of ‘Ring the Alarm’ and the Britney Spears video where she tried to committ suicide. Good job to whoever came up with the concept for the video and to the director.

Good GOD I don’t believe it was her singing but the vocal lessons during her time off DEFINETELY PAID OFF! Wow…I was shocked! and she looks fabulous. Nothing negative or bitchy for me to say…really impressed!

Video is a little cliche…(Didn’t Britney Spears already do the bathtub/I’m a psycho scene)….

Ashanti’s lyrics and writing are ALWAYS on point. She has a very skilled hand. But her voice is not the best. She should have wrote this for Mary J. Blige..she would have gotten just as much money–maybe even more in royalties!!!!!!

I find it funny that haters even come in here and make comments. But back to the point, I’m loving this vid and song. Ashanti has really outshined herself. If you were to look at the video, you can think of it in other ways as well, (the producer of this music video usually does CSI shows) the ending where Ashanti emerges out of the water scene is scary, cause it may be her dark side, we really don’t know if she really did do it. It’s a mystery. We don’t know what really happen after she left out the door, she could of killed him or his mistress could of killed him. We will never know. That is the reason why I like this. It has many people asking questions. This honestly reminds me of a scene in Resident Evil. This goes to show that Ashanti loves those action pack mystery horror movies. Her acting and singing skills has improved, I am impressed. It goes to show that Ashanti does listen to her fans and she delivered. I’ll cop the album when it comes out, I’m interested in what else she has on her album.

I love this song, and I am not an Ashanti fan. The video reminds of equal parts Britney Spears “Everytime,” Justin Timberlake “Cry Me a River,” and Beyonce “Irreplacable.” The song is still hot, I just hope she doesn’t ruin it with a lame remix featuring some rapper. It doesn’t need it.

Loved her hair (sans the blonde), outfits, and shoes!!! I usually love my chocolate, but her man in the vid is sexy! Never seen him, but as I’m reading, he’s from TP plays….oh, yea, that’s why I never seen him, lol
