What is the point of Ashanti?

Posted: 1/12/05 at 11:20pm

I'm sure she's a lovely girl, of immeasureable worth to her family and friends. But why does she feel the need to release her every fart on CD? And does she have a personality, or is she just saving it for a special occasion? Again - lovely girl.

fart? confuse me? although I agree she is a pretty pointless "singer." and that whole "princess of hip hop/r&b thing" makes me wanna vomit.

Did you know she's playing DOROTHY in the Muppet's Wizard of Oz movie?! Why, oh, why? To quote Ellie, "I'm sure she's lovely," but I'm just not a fan.

The point of Ashanti is to go with a nice liver and a serving of fava beans. Fpt-fpt-fpt-fpt-fpt.

Honestly. A few songs aren't terrible (with whatever they do to "correct" her voice in the studio) and she has a couple innocuous little hits, but when she sings live (perpetually SHARP!) I hear dogs wimpering.

God Bless you, Ellie3. I'm having the worst night ever, and this thread made me smile. At least someone else sees it the way I do:)

I was flipping through an issue of People magazine from last month or this month, and there was a small picture of her as Dorothy with the muppets. The dress is red-checkered instead of blue.

Can't say I know any of her music...the only thing I have seen her in was as Robin Wood's slayer mother in "Buffy." Man, that fro!

What a lovely thread title!!

I was talking about Ashanti the other day with some of my co-workers. I was saying that I would have seen "Coach Carter", but since she's in it than I won't. I think she can sing but I don't get how she is just SO great. It's annoying that these days being popular actor means you get the opportunity to put out a cd or vice versa.

I agree with you SWtaffy... I hate how if you can semi do one thing, you can easily get a job in the other department in hollywood. I can't stand how all the stupid disney stars are trying to sing... every single one of them! I am so sick of them, and their "pursuits of singing". We can only take so much. And I dont' want to see Coach Carter because of her either. I dont' really think that she can sing, becuase if she can, she sure isn't showing it. But everyone is right, I'm sure she is a sweet girl (unlike HIlary Duff)

All I have to say is I'm so glad that I can come home and check out BWW.com. Not one of my friends has the same taste in music as me, and if I say I don't like rap or Ashanti I get made fun of. Not that I really care, but it's nice to know I can come here and almost everyone has the same taste as me... even if it is just over the internet:o)

What is Broadway? A street? Some say it's a street. Some say it is the best street in the world. Others think its terrible. That's the beauty of it, it's terribly beautiful. Some hate it and don't know why. Others love it and don't know why. That's what makes it so wonderful, it's a mystery.

Now, me, I don't want to see Coach Carter because it looks like every other sports movie I've ever seen. But that's just me.
