Ashanti sung Shine at the parade and sounded great. Her vocals have really improved

SHE LOOKS LIKE SHE JUST ATE 2 TURKEYS, A HAM, AND ALL OF THE RICE DRESSING, SHE LOOKS LIKE A SHIM WITH ALL DAT MAKEUP ON. I WONDER IS SHE AND NELLY ARE STILL TOGETHER, WELL THEY DO SAY THAT THE COUPLE THAT FLOPS TOGETHER STAYS TOGETHER. AINT NOBODY CHECKING FOR ASHANTI OR NELLY IN 2008, THEIR 15 MINUTES OF FAME ARE OFFICIALLY OVER!

So what I read about her coming with a shoe line with Kelis is true. Okay cool. I think both of them have fab styles. It’ll be interesting to see with they come up with. Maybe some fly heels.

Ashanti looks cute in these pics. For those ppl suggesting that she looks “fat,” it’s obvious that she has on several layers of clothes under her coat. (Her face doesn’t look any fuller/chubbier than the last time I saw her). From the reports I saw on TV, it was pretty cold in NYC on the day of the parade. Would y’all prefer Ashanti to pull a “Mariah” and wear hot pants and a short leather jacket in the freezing cold? *SMH*

As for “Crime,” the song didn’t blow me away, but it wasn’t that bad, either. Sounded pretty much like all the other stuff that the young divas-in-training are putting out on the radio these days. (At least Ashanti can sing, which is more than I can say for some of the others). Let’s be honest - the fact that so many people are on here beating her down shows just how fickle music audiences are. 5-6 years ago, Ashanti could do no wrong … everything she and the rest of the Murder Inc. artists touched turned to chart gold. My, how times have changed. Now, the same ppl who couldn’t get enuf of Ashanti have moved onto new “It” girls like Rhianna, Beyonce, etc. Best believe that in 5 years, ppl will be on here dogging them too, and will be onto the next big thing. It is what it is, I guess …

I’m sorry there is nothing wrong with how ashanti looks, she’s older than some of these singers and still look like she’s in her early teens. Most of these comments r straight hate. Please stop comparing singers cause they r all beautiful and talented. Thank god there’s a variation of artists to listen too because I would of given on music a long time ago.

Now for this song…it’s alright but it sounds like somethings missing but I do like the lyrics…it brings homeage to mary j blige song called not gon cry-basicly its deep and I can relate to it.

She is my favorite. Just saw her on milllionaire personals site “”"” B i l l i o n a i r e p a l . c o m”"”"”" last week. I am wondering what kind of relationship she is looking for on that site.Is she single again now? ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Ashanti’s declaration album was a very good album (content and all). People just don’t like her and really slept on a very good album. It was one of the better album in 2008.

Ok all you haters. She look big because she was wearing 5 layers of clothing to keep warm. It was a cold day and she was going to be on a float for about 2 hours. She is wearing heavy make-up because she had a interview on T.V that morning before the parade. If you don’t like the song then that is on you. The coat that she is wearing is Mark Jacob. It was hot and I told her that. The black boots that she had on were also banging. And another thing it is the holiday season red lipstick is appropriate for the time.
