Saw her new video on MTV Base today and remembered how fucking annoying she is. I hate the bizarre snake neck contortions she does in EVERY VIDEO, like J-Lo's head tilting but a thousand times more grating cuz she constantly has that 'someone just farted' screwed up facial expression and beady, dead eyes. ARRRGH I fucking hate her, the bit in said new song, which is actually decent apart from an appalling rap cameo from some Murder Inc nomark, where she croaks 'fo' liiife' after someone shouts 'MUUURDA' is the most irritating thing I have ever heard. Juxtaposed with her twattish 'M' signing with both hands and shit dancing I may just have an aneuryism from all the ineptitude on show. Oh and she can't sing for shit and her bright red wigs are becoming increasingly desperate.
To summarise: ARRRGH.
Only U was great, mind.

I've never understood the point of Ashanti, but since there isn't one, that's hardly my fault. She's nothing remotely special as a singer, she can't dance, she comes across thick as shit mixed with cornflour in interviews, and her music is as soulless and forgettable as her voice. Apart from Only U, but one great song doesn't make it all OK.
I like Rihanna even less, but I'm certainly not starting a thread about the talentless bint.

Example: "Chea that new Ja Rule single is FIYAH. It's straight BANANAS!!" Huge pause. "AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA" I -HATE- her </Achmed BB> Rihanna is at least fitter than Ashanti but her voice is bizarrely flat and toneless, as if she's actually trying to see how much she can take the piss before anyone notices.

I don't even think Rihanna's fit. She looks about nine. Her live performances are taxing on the ears - someone really ought to tell her that the best way to mask her vocal weakness is with some decent backing singers, not a ridiculously loud DAT tape of her own voice.
My favourite Ashanti interview moment was when she described her music as 'a fusion of hip-hop and soul' as if it was an idea she'd just dreamed up and not something Mary J Blige had being doing better for more than a decade. Silly cow.

ooh My boyfriend and I a couple nights ago were talking about how we hate Ashanti! Except in the What's Luv song with Fat Joe... she's great there. She's just annoying and planky.

Completely agree about her and Rihanna... whatever happened to Teedra Moses? She was a class act.

Ashanti has bigger sideburns than me.
And I love how her exotic first name classes with her bog-standard surname.
Ashanti Douglas.

Ashanti is a boring, vanilla, average-looking singer with mediocre talent. She's the missionary position of the R&B world.
BUT 'Only U' was one of the best singles last year and for that she should be applauded. I was so disappointed that her following release was the same old R&B-by-numbers crap that the world can surely do without. With 'Only U' she had a great chance to go in a new direction and fucked it up.

I'll never forgive Ashanti for playing a part in a storyline which exposed just how fat Xander had become in Buffy.
Her acting was marginally worse than her singing - which isn't saying much.

I love the guitar intro to Only U, but then she starts singing and it all goes wrong.
While she can have a career while people like Tweet languish I do NOT know.

At least Ja Rule has finally given up and released a """""""""""""Greatest Hits""""""""""""""""""""".

Somehow I like her more in the summer than winter, her songs are harmless pieces of fluff, not much depth to them but they are enjoyable at the right time. Her voice is piss poor though, she cant pronounce ask properly much like her similarly sized counterpart Ja Rule and she seems to think putting Aww Baby in every song is a vital need. She is weird though, if you see her intro to TMF she seems to shake her head from side to side when she is talking. I dont think she is quite the stunner that her Murder Inc counterparts like to hype her up as either, to me she is the Colleen Mcloughlin of R&B, nothing very special who came into some money and tries to scrub up well but still has that air of cheapness about them

I have 3 of her Albums. And like 2 from each album. Normally the lead single and an album track. 6 from about 40-odd songs !!! Oh well, I got them all for free anyway.

I hate Ashanti, but I will forgive her many crimes against music for 'Only U' - one of the best rnb tunes of the last couple of years. 'Focus' on the same album is also quite good, and I suppose I didn't mind the one where she was frolicking aorund on an elephant - that was ok. She's bad, but nowhere near as bad as lightbulb head Rihanna..........
