  • Wow Ashanti

  • Rohan's cant even sing the abcd live

  • Like I said on twitter Rohan's sounds like a bunch of Haitian people crying at a funeral #trust me I'm Haitian I know

  • Damn she killed it she always killed it on any stage I love u shan

  • Charice is good but this is Great for Ashanti, shes came along way and her voice is now powerful enough to cover a whitney song, one thing u all have to understand is Ashanti is not use to singing this big, but trust through out the months shes going to get better

    !

  • Karaoke singer! 

  • why isn't she wearing any shoes?

  • i dont care about her voice.. she's one fine lady!

  • I think she did fine but only in America's standard. I'm not filipino but I know that the singers there can sing these type of songs with much more ease and better transition. So in their standards, I doubt it was a performance they will drool over.

  • @awsomeolives lmao, dumbest comment I've seen in a while

  • @mattdiggsmusic It's the truth. They pulled a random girl from the audience to sing and it sounded a lot better than this. She's good nonetheless, don't get riled up.

  • @awsomeolives That's not what I'm talking about. America has many great singers, and typically the ones that are great are much better than the artists from elsewhere in the world. At the same time, America does have a thing for picking "it" girls with little talent to represent our industry. Even so, our real singers are the best. I give two fucks about Ashanti, lol.

  • CHARICE IS THE BEST EVER!!!!!!!!

  • Charice is soo much better

  • she killed it. period.

  • OF COURSE YOU THINK THAT ASHANTI IS GREAT, WHY NOT , YOU THINK THAT RAP IS MUSIC. BUT RAP IS CRAP AND BY ALL OF THAT LISTENING TO IT , YOUR EARS IS FULL OF SHIT. THATS WHY SHE SOULD SOUNDS SO GOOD.. WHAT EVER YOU DO ,, DON'T LET HER SIT ON YOUR FACE , SHE MIGHT FART AND CLEAR YOUR EARS. LOLOLOL

  • Ashanti is just a show-off in over-singing songs to gain attention!

  • well last comment, ashanti own shit, nothing the concert is over , she o nly sang two songs compare to CHARICE SINGING SIX SONGS AND CHARICE WAS THE CLOSER EVERYNITE ON THE TOUR. iT WAS CALLED THE DAVID FOSTER AND FRIENDS ASIAN TOUR , NOT THE ASHANTI TOUR. AND TO TOP IT OFF CHARICE RECIEVED THE STANDING OVATIONS AND NOT ASHANTI BECAUSE CHARICE KICKED HER ASS. WORD UP

  • @MrDwf541 your obviously a hater. any sane person can see the two women did a fantastic job. its called the david foster and friends tour not the charice is god tour or the david foster and friends worship charice tour.

    ashanti was there to sing the songs that david assigned her she did her part. and to say she didnt do a good job is just ignorant. david himself gave her high praise in this video. the audience even showed love.

    ashanti and charice did a great job on both their parts

  • THANK the LORD & SHAME the DEVIL....This is PURE amazement!!!! If u DO NOT agree....get your fav RNB singer of the 2000s to do it BET they CAN'T......GOOOO Ashanti #TeamAshanti

  • Its obvious ashanti slayed this performance...

  • You really need to hear Charice sing it, You would think whitney was there. Ashanti was more kareoki . Charice nails it every time. This was a Train wreck. You could see David look of Disappointment, makes me want to vomit.

  • 0_o

  • She proving she got zome vocals

  • Ashanti did thst...I like her arrangement...and that voice was beautiful

  • eh, wasnt charice supposed to sing this song in his concert?

  • YOU THE SHIIIIIT 4 this Ashanti....you really #DidItonEm

    :::::::o)

  • Ashanti was beyond amazing! I loved her performance because she sounds so beautiful and put so much into honoring one of her musical inspirations in a great way.

  • sharp/off pitch at the end.

  • @bld9696 dnt be a hater

  • If Whitney were dead, she would be rolling over in her grave. Sounds like two cats fighting over a dead rat.

  • @bld9696 Child..If you see Whitney's 2010 performances...

    It's sad..and I'm a whitney fan!

    Ashanti did good!

  • @LLCoOLdRe10 You should watch Charice version is alot much better.

  • lol, i dont' want to say anything about A, i was there in the concert. what i can is that WELL...goodluck ashanti in your CAREER.

  • @theillusionist518 lol what did u just say...?

  • I bet rihanna can do that

  • @TheBodystorm LMAO RIHANNA CAN'T EVEN SING HER OWN SONG'S LIVE, DONT EMBARASS YOURSELF RIHANNA WOULD BE THE LAST PERSON ANYONE WOULD EVER WANT TO DO A WHITNEY TRIBUTE, SHE CAN'T EVEN HOLD A DESCENT HIGH NOTE LMFAO DF OUTTA HERE.

  • Ashanti did an amazing job..time to put them haters in shame waiting on that single nd album leggo

  • @BiggestMeechEST91 LMFAO RIGHT!!!!!!!!!! LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL THEY REALLY THINK CHARICE IS (SOMEONE) TO BE HONEST I HAVE NEVER EVEN FKN HEARD OF THIS CHARICE CHICK LMAO ASHANTI IS KNOWN EVERYWHERE NOT JUST IN AMERICA, THERE'S REALLY NO COMPARISON CHARICE IS (NO ENTRY)COMPARED TO ASHANTI. #TEAMASHANTI4LIFE!

  • she has definitely proven she can sing, she just needs to work on those transitions from belt to head voice. She is not trying to sing it like Whitney(no one could) but she put her own spin on it and she did a great job

  • WHY THE FUCK ARE PEOPLE GOING BACK AND FOURTH ABOUT THIS ASHANTI VS CHARICE SHIT? THEY ARE BOTHHHH VERY TALENTED AND THE SONG IS SUNG IN TWO TOTALLY AWSOME DIFFERENT WAYS! THEY ARE BOTH GREAT STOP COMPARING

  • This whole Ashanti and Charice thing dont make since.. To charice fans Charice will be better to Ashanti fans Ashanti is better.. Who gives a crap. There BOTH good..!!!!!

  • who told u that charice name does not mention in ur ashanti vid?if u knw how to read . charice is the best ok

  • Comment removed

  • Yessss Ashanti I LIVE !!!! 10's ACROSS THE BOARD !!!!

  • good job ashanti. she put her own spin on this song

  • She's good, but for me Charice's version is still the best. Her voice is just so powerful!!

  • @rhonz7 BUT WHO GIVES A FUCK DUMBASS, IS THIS CHARICE VIDEO? DOES IT SAY ANYWHERE TO PROVIDE YOUR OPINION REGARDING CHARICE STUPID ASS..... SMH LEARN HOW TO READ BEFORE YOU TYPE.-_-

  • @Dangelo1990 If you follow David Foster and Friends concert, Charice always sings this medley, but this time Ashanti sang it. Charice is a regular on every DFF concert. She didn't sing this medley because she sang some of her own songs instead. It's obvious that you're an Ashanti fan, but you don't have to use such derogatory words. I hope you're not the epitome of Ashanti fans.

  • @rhonz7 OK. who really cares what charice does? david (invited) ashanti on tour and had her sing these songs...... who cares if charice is a regular -_- this time around she was out shined by Ashanti, and yeah i am an Ashanti fan dough took you this long to notice? if you care for charice so much then go watch (charice) video's this video is non related to charice this is about (Ashanti) save the pathetic comments for your charice video's and no i don't have to use such (derogatory) words.-_-

  • @Dangelo1990 LOL you can't control what other people have to say on here. I simply can say whatever the hell I want because you can't stop me. Selena Gomez is better than Ashanti. I can also say Britney Spears is better than Ashanti, Kelly Clarkson is better than Ashanti, Your mom is better than Ashanti. LOL are you gonna say that those are all nonrelated to this video too? Too bad, you can't stop me from saying it coz you don't own youtube. Deal with it. PS I like Ashanti, nvr said she was bad

  • @rhonz7 YOU SO PATHETIC WHAT ARE YOU LIKE 10 YEARS OLD? SMH I COULD CARE LESS WHO U THINK IS BETTER GROW UP......... GET A HOBBY

  • Second that !

  • 4:48-4:52 - BEAUTIFUL. Made me smile.

  • i don't hate Ashanti as she did nothing bad to me plus i just knew her name 2 days ago. she's a great singer specially this song,  but still I prefer Charice and that's for me only. everybody is entitled to their own opinion!

  • WOW she's almost as good as Whitney! very impressive ashanti!

  • 1 More comment ....SHE OWNED THAT FUCKIN STAGE....#thatisall

  • Ashanti looks great, sounds GREAT....must be GREATNESS....I sense it!!!

    Follow me @Ashanti_Rockxzz

  • Ashanti owned Charice on this song, for realz

  • lol haters will always hate lol but they know for fact she killed this shit !!!!!!

  • I wanna drag a few of you hating ass bitches but I'm too busy getting my life from from Mother Ashanti! I Love you Ashanti. #TeamAshanti til the death of me. Follow me on twitter @ShaneVs_Shade

  • I like this..sounds pretty..and nice legs..

  • good job Ashanti. she is more careful now.

  • @dawn4rd "The Declaration" debuted at # 6 on Billboard 200 , I didn't know a top 10 album was a flop ?? Considering her 3rd album "Cocrete Rose" which debuted at # 7 on Billboard 200 back in 04 , was that a flop ? Just because "The Declaration" didn't go platnium doesn't mean it's a flop... #JustSayin !

  • Yall see her hit that growl @ 1:41!! Lol go 'head 'Shanti!!

  • @dangelo1990 actually hun you are the stupid ass, & your intereference on what was none of your damn business was the EPIC FUCKIN FAIL. Yet another IRRELEVANT being attempting to come 4 me 4 absolutely NOTHIN with absolutely nothin!

    PSS,

    Since you stan for Ashanti (where they do that at???) so damn much, why don't you go back to wikipedia where you got your irrelevant ass information about her FLOPPED album and have a fuckin seat in the corner next to her. All this bs for a fuckin ki ki!

  • Sexy R&B!

  • Go head Ashanti!!!

  • To sing these two songs back to back is a tall task...not any average diva can do this. Ashanti delivered...I am an A&R for a popular record label in NY

  • Amazing she is amazing!!!!

  • Respect that f-ing GROWLL at 1:40

  • @Shakur198406 ..Should have scrolled down, but def respect it!!

  • charice voice is waf better than ashianti.who said that charice voice is not good?look at her now,she reach the level of celine dion and whytney houston,ok

  • @ednamayo2000 SORRY BUT YOU SOUND PATHETIC... CHARICE MUSIC IS NOT EVEN HIT'S WOO HOO SHE PERFRORMED A WHITNEY SONG (OK) BUT HER VOICE DOESN'T FIT A WHITNEY SONG SHE MADE IT SOUND WAY TO DIFFERENT, SO TO COMPARE CHARICE TO ASHANTI? SIT THE FUCK DOWN SOMEWHERE ASHANTI IS INTERNATION CHARICE IS ONLY OVER SEAS, SHE WILL NEVER BE ASHANTI OR HAVE AS MUCH SUCESS AS ASHANTI HAS SORRY PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH(TYPE) U FAIL BADLY.......

  • @ednamayo2000 BTW THIS IS AN (ASHANTI) VIDEO, NO WHERE IN THIS VID DOES IT MENTION CHARICE, SO GET THE FK OUT OF HERE, LEARN HOW TO READ DUMB ASS DROP OUT. -_-

  • Both those songs are full of impossible notes. I don't even think most of you realize how much talent it takes to actually perfrom them both back to back like this. Ashanti is the créme of the crop!!!!! Créme de la Créme!!!

  • Ashanti is the definition of a SUPERSTAR!!!! Her intalent is uncomprehendable!!! Noone writes the way she does then to add outstanding Vocal Ability on top of that! She will definitely some day be known as one of the greatest legends of our time. I truly believe that because I can guarantee you that even as amazing as this was, we have yet to witness her peak. Keep shining beautiful!

  • @smartboi04 I feel the same way. People have tried to count her out but she WILL have the last say. She's not working on being the BIGGEST thing today, she's securing a spot in history and ensuring longevity so that she will be remembered in the future. I always believed we have yet to see her true potential star power. When she pulls her all together she will be unstoppable. :-)

  • Classic...Don't make me Cloaassee one more door!!! Awesome

  • Classic...

  • DABESTPARINSICHARICE!!!.

  • Ashanti read all those HATING comments on the LAST video that was posted and showed ALL you haters what she is capable of.... she unleashed the BEAST inside and DESTROYED it this time... this is the PRINCESS of R&B right here, respect her throne please!

  • @geordiexchucks SHE WAS A DUD!!!!!

  • when it comes to giving justice to a song, i still prefer CHARICE!!!!! other singers may belt the high notes good but Charice has something unique asset of singing that makes her special!!!!!

  • @womanara lol i still don;t get why fat pathetic dumb asses like you click an (ASHANTI) video and mention charice... i mean wtf are u stupid bitch i mean who gives a fuck about charice, the chick doesn't even have the voice for a whitney song and her accent makes it sound even worse last i even remember charice songs all flopped even in her own fkn country that's sad..... so get the fuck off this page with that reckless shit you typing go get a hobby retarded ass.

  • @Dangelo1990 I resent people that uses bad language. Your opinion will find its way to the rubbish bin! I'm a sensible, very mature Charice fan. I love Charice because of her talent and humbleness. I love other good singers too, without kicking the other 'also good singers'. I bet you these Ashanti haters are not really Charice's fans. I've met few of them. It's their way in creating trouble, and get noticed. And, please leave the fowl language where it should be...at your house's toilet!

  • @Dangelo1990 hey if i'm retardad then you're CRAZY PLUS DULL!!! so what if i said about charice in this page, it's

    NONE of your business!!! how many people clicking the page of charice and comparing other singer to her!!! I DID NOT SAY BAD TO YOUR IDOL WHATEVER!!! YOU CRAZY DULL!! and don't ypu tell me not to open and say anything about my opinion because it's my right and I DID NOT ASK ANY CENT FROM YOU TO PAY MY INTERNET!!!! GOT IT???? have you gone to school?????? if not got o grade I,

  • @Dangelo1990 how do you that all her songs were flopped in her country?? I'm a filipino too and what you said is not true!!! only some jealous people hates her. and what about her accent!! it's just understandable whatever is her accent because ENGLISH IS NOT HER NATIVE LANGUAGE!!!! good for her she could speak both english and filipino!!! HOW ABOUT you???? do you know how to speak one word from her language?? now who is better?????

  • Amazing you go girl, david foster does wonders and pushes singers

  • she killledd itt

  • I'm impressed.. Of course not as good as Whitney duh, but she was pretty good you know. Go and listen to Keri Hilson's version, THAT will make you vomit blood, not Ashanti's

  • thanks to David Foster dropping off the cheat cheats key hints all throughout the long pause (if you guys noticed it) so she wouldn't get lost on which key to continue harhar. ANYWAY.. ashanti did okay here. not great. Whitneys songs are not for her and her kind of vocals. sorry just saying the truth. I am sure she is a fabulous singer and probably the "QUEEN" to some... but not on this type of song.

  • @0Dollmaker0 Umm Ashanti tends to sing her songs faster live, so I dont think its a bad thing he did that, many legendary artist do it

  • @0Dollmaker0 that's what i notice also, david keeping hit that key for her not to get out of tune again just what she did in Malaysia were she sings out of tune at that same spot when david pause and say something...hahaha. Anyways, she did it perfect now... nice!!!

  • @0Dollmaker0 lol is that all u got to argue.. lol he gave her the key so she nailed it.. if she didnt she would have never did so good? lol so what about the rest of the song .. were she could have gone flat, or sharp or cracked or anything lls.. sounds like u a hater lls

  • @MrDwf541 why don't u go sit your old ass down somewhere your about 90 yo commenting on Ashanti vids, who df really cares about charice, this video is about (Ashanti) if you don't care about her why is your old no life ass on her video commenting back and forth? so pathetic charice singing this song was horrible to be honest that's why she even get much credit she doesn't even have the voice she sounded retarded this is an american song she fked it up bad. charice is no where near international.

  • @MrDwf541 lol yea ill just take it that you dont no what you talkin bbout

  • Ashanti killed this!!!! I got Tears & Goose Bumps at 1:40 The Queen has returned! Teamashanti till the death of me Haters fall back..ashanti is 1 of the best singers out there and ya'll say she still can't sing gtfoh!!!

  • Wait wait WAIT a damn minute.....does anyone else notice the different quality of this video??? This is the actual footage from the tour ....so the first time was just a bad recording.....SILLY RABBITS TRIX ARE 4 PIMPS

  • David Foster is the creator of these songs and CHOSE Ashanti to sing them. If he felt she couldn't deliver, he would have never assigned her or brought her on for this tour. She sounds incredible.

  • She did it this time

  • I knew it! Pinoys are not so ignorant not to appreciate Ashanti singing this song. I'm proud of you, my Kababayans. I am a very avid fan of Charice, and now new fan of Ashanti. Mabuhay!

  • @bobbiegirl10001 why can't people be like this girl<<<< smfh appreciate someone and give credit when it is due, why df kids have to hate for no reason they know she killed this song this time around but they still hate to grow the hell up and just admit it, it;s not like u (HAVE) to become a fan but just give ashanti props for this performance and move the hell on. SMH

  • I cant stop commenting. Chills Chills chills, she sang this song just like she sung the lion song in the wiz. Be a lion when she sang the song be a lion she gave me chills too. Good job Ashanti. Haters keep supporting her. David Cosigns

  • AMAZING

  • SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL, GOOD JOB ASHANTI. STANDING OVATION PEOPLE

  • I dont care what anyone says ASHANTI YOU SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANG THIS SONG. GOOD JOB ASHANTI TEAM ASHANTI

  • I can say, without any doubt, that after Whitney Houston, this Bodyguard Medley performance by Charice --- watch?v=SRz6_HIN_2A --- IS the one to compare any other singer's performance with if one is to judge how well they sing it...

  • Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, Janet Jackson, Keri Hilson, Kelly Rowland, Ciara, Cassie, Rihanna, Mya, or Nicole Shrhhefrhbxsjndbhdcbzierhallow­eenjshbaz could NEVER sing a song like this. Anyone covered a Whitney track has customized it to their liking and to fit their voice. Ashanti is the only one who (besides Christina Aguilera) has sang this song the way Whitney sang it. That takes balls, and that alone should earn credit. The fact that she sounds amazing doing it is just a plus.

  • @xMarcinis well if you think that she did so good you need to check out Tiffany evans singing i have nothing out of everyone besides whitney herself she sung it the best

  • ugly version! ... charice version was better when she sung it last year at dff tour 2010

  • Everyone is just afraid to admit it that Ashanti is a beast!!! Amazing just like david said

  • They are all great in their own ways, but did you listen?

  • @Promo4Ashanti yea, I got your link. Very nice.. never heard it before.

  • @TheStreetcred that was her around the age 14, if she would of continued that way she would a true beast, shes a beast now but you know what i mean

  • @Promo4Ashanti Maybe, just maybe, Ashanti can prove me wrong and beast it.. she's got a decade to show the world what she's got now.. it's her prime.

  • @TheStreetcred yeah she about to be back on the map...new single called "No Good" its about to drop soon and she has a new song out called "Never too far away" for the movie "Dream House" check it out every 1..and be on the look for "No Good" soon...She has her own label and everything now "written Entertainment"

  • Comment removed

  • @jotjotzZz lmfaoooo i cant even believe u would be bold enough to write this on this VIDEO lol especially after her giving a chilling rendition of whitney houstons 2 classics!!! That david himself compsed!! lol haaa

  • She just gets better and better every time she sings these 2 songs!! Especially at 1:36-1:44! I LOVE ASHANTI<3

  • A S H A N T I......You muthafuckaz......will see why....Ashanti what what Ashanti!!!!

    You sang, and barefooted #BOWS ALLL HAIL

    YOU COME, YOU SING, YOU STORM

  • mas magaling si charice nito !!!

  • Better than KL but still not happening. In my opinion, if one does not have a melodious voice (a full body voice) one should not touch this song cause the high notes will sound like screams. This was not pleasant for my ears. It wasn't smooth. She is great for R&B - not ballads. What is next DF "All By Myself" ? smh

  • @Deathtoautotune2010 lol why do you bother fuckin typing pathetic kiddy comments ashanti killed it u just sad aka mad faggot df out of here no one need yo immature ass comments she did great u wouldnt know unless u were actually there to see how she really sounded and from davids expression and comments she did excellent had the crowd standing up clapping for her screaming so why the fuck u hating? SAD FAGGOT. If she couldn't do ballads people wouldn't be asking her to do them so often smh

  • @Dangelo1990 Music is a preference moron. Just because you like it doesn't mean the rest of the world has to like it - capiche? As for the standing O, look again there was no standing O, unless you call 20-30 ppl standing up a standing O - LOL.

  • @Deathtoautotune2010 dough of course music is a preference faggot but it's kind of obvious u a ashanti hater so why do you bother to click her videos? just to look cool hating on someone who don't give a fuck about you or your depressed life? df out of here u sould stupid and yeah there was more than 30 kid go get your eyes checked out wack ass kid.

  • @Dangelo1990 I was curious how she sounded, so I decided to listen. I didn't like what I heard, so I left a comment. Where in my comment did I say I hate her ? smh . Get a life !

  • One word >>>>>>>>> ASHANTI ; )

  • I'm anxious to see how she is going to perform it on the last date!

  • yesssss @ 1:38 that "close" yessssss

  • Charice is way better!!

  • @mv0014 why are you comparing talented artist? both artist are great in their own ways

  • @Promo4Ashanti @mv0014 yes, Charice and Ashanti are great in their own ways. I have to give props to Ashanti for this recent performance of BGM Medley. Much better than the off performance in Malaysia. Ashanti can actually sing better than most R&B artists out there. Much better than Rihanna, that's for sure.

  • @TheStreetcred she sings better then most of the females out period

  • @Promo4Ashanti well, only within the R&B genre, in my opinion. I still think her turn to standard ballads (i.e. Whitney Houston, Celine Dion type songs) is way out of left field and is not her cup of tea. It just doesn't suit her vocals. It was a good attempt to see her bang out Whitney, but my applause was more in relief that she made it thru the song. I much rather hear Ashanti sing her R&B stylings, where she is most at home and at her best.

  • @TheStreetcred LIKE I SAID SHE SINGS BETTER THE MOST OUT TODAY! NO SHADE BUT (I.E RIHANNA , KATEY PERRY, KEYSHIA COLE, CIARA, BRITNEY, GAGA, JANET, KESHA, KELLY ROWLAND, AVRIL, ETC..)

  • @Promo4Ashanti no objections to the names you mentioned -- Ashanti is likely better than them. Ashanti is 30 years and in her prime, so its about time she shows it up. Just stay within the R&B genre and she's good, good ;)

  • @TheStreetcred WHY SHOULD SHE STAY IN THE R&B GENRE?

  • @Promo4Ashanti Because of what @Deathtoautotune2010 said. Ashanti doesn't have a 'full' body voice. She can go for the high notes, but it won't be pleasant to the ears.

  • @TheStreetcred she's singing a fucking whitney houston song! All Ashanti has to do is work on her higher register tone and she'll be good, her falsettos are great! i seen ashanti live in person 6 times! this is a recording mind you! talk when shes on tv or you went to an concert, she's a great artist all around! this to be honest i think she was a bit nervous with the one in KL, ashanti has a full voice she just does not have a full voice the tone as whitney! and thats what your comparing her to

  • @Promo4Ashanti sure, Ashanti can sing any song she wants, but I think it will always have to be suited to her voice (i.e. re-arranged for her tone, range, etc). She has her strengths and weaknesses, so better to stick to her strengths, right? Big power ballads will not do her justice. If she was to go toe-to-toe with a Yolanda Adams, Deborah Cox, Kelly Price, or Jennifer Hudson, she wouldn't fare well. Just stick to her bread-and-butter, which is R&B stylings...

  • @TheStreetcred im feel as though your belittling r&b, R&b singers can blow just as well as the people you are naming! yes of course ashanti can go toe- to- toe with them but is that what their art is about? competing and saying who's better or not? they are all great in there ways on a scale 1 to 10 ciara being 1 and janet being 5 and whitney being 10 ashanti is about a 7 or 8 she just needs to perfect her tone more and she would be great...not no whitney but she would be great for her sound

  • @Promo4Ashanti Nah, I am a Hip-hop/R&B fan. But I also know and respect the adult contemporary genre, wherein the kind of songs and the type of voice required is different from R&B. Ashanti is from R&B roots, am I right? That's her thang. Deborah Cox may go try venturing into hip/hip R&B, but she won't fare well--just as Ashanti may dip her feet in some big time power ballads, but it won't really suit her.

  • @TheStreetcred Honestly If ashanti would of continued the way she sung before she got signed she would be up there, irv gott had her down play her vocals to what she was singing all these years, ill send you a song before she got signed, if she continued on the way she was going she would have been a beast by now

  • @Promo4Ashanti yea, maybe if Ashanti kept training her vocals to sing big power ballads, then who knows.. she could've been a Tamia. but I'm glad Ashanti became the R&B princess.. that's who she is.

  • @TheStreetcred Shes kinda on tamia's level..they sound the same sometimes! did you hear the song i sent?

  • @Promo4Ashanti no haven't heard "I Sent" .. Yea, I am a Tamia fan as well--very underrated vocalist. 

  • @TheStreetcred but tamia's voice is just a little softer

  • @Promo4Ashanti ...just so you can see I'm not bein a biased nube, I am a fan of Tamia, but I wouldn't advise her to sing Whitney either..

  • @TheStreetcred i dont think that opinion is quite accurate lol. if she can hold her own with powerful voices from stage plays(wicked and the wiz) then her voice can stand with the likes of the names you listed. this video is proof that she can handle whitney songs. david himself said it was amazing. the smile on his face said it. i dont understand why people tend to think she is a weak singer or has to struggle to sing these songs.

  • @igetthatgoodjugg I've heard Ashanti's rendition of 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow' -- they did a great job arranging it to suit her vocal style, so it worked. But was it 'standard'? No. That's all I'm sayin' -- Ashanti can sing whatever song she wants, but it has to suit her voice (re-arranged for her tone, her range, etc.).

  • @TheStreetcred oh no i mean songs like defying gravity where she was actually onstage with other singers lol.

  • @igetthatgoodjugg yea, she did fine in an ensemble. but to say Ashanti can sing like Lea Michele would be 'foolish', pardon the pun. It's just different styles, and Ashanti (and the music arrangers) did their best to assimilate.. even the Wizard of Oz was an "urbanized" version of the original--which suited Ashanti's style just fine.

  • @TheStreetcred oh no she can never sing like anyone else, she can sing like ashanti but my point is the songs that people think she cant handle, she can handle. now as far as the ensemble my point was that her voice stood without being overpowered by women whos voices are known for being strong. lol i guess im just trying to say that she can handle power ballads and her voice is underrated

  • @igetthatgoodjugg I agree with u dat Ashanti is "underrated" as a vocalist. Considering this was a David Foster concert and she survived a Whitney standard, I give her mad props.. as in, maad props. But to go toe-to-toe with Deb Cox or Yolanda, I would say Ashanti just needs to stay true to her sound and she'll be just fine.. She's got her unique sound and style.
