The official album cover for Ashanti’s new LP ‘The Declaration’ surfaced today via UrbanBridgez.com. What can I say? She looks stunning. I see Ashanti as more ‘girl next door’ as opposed to a grand diva, so the cover was initially kinda surprising. Still, I can’t fault this at all. Here’s hoping what’s most important, the music, is just as good.

beyawnce aint queen of shit shes only came out with two albums and all of sudden shes getting all these recognition please she don’t deserve shit the bitch has a nasty attitude look back when she told Kelly R. to shut up about the break-up with Destiny Child the bitch is nothing special than a hoe fucking for records basically her dad sent her to Rodney jerkins and she became his jumpoff nothing new because i know they didnt’ get a record deal on talent. beyonce should be back in houston working at a strip club then she can flaunt that fake weave all she wants and fall down the pole too for some change she does it already on tour.

this is FIERCE and so DIVAish
this is NOT like beyonce.
Beyonce never had an album cover with her full-length body, big hair, and glittery dress.
so stop the comparisons.
and to the person above who said bee is retiring…do u seriously believe everything u hear? u must be really niave. until bee announces it herself, she is NOT retiring!

Listen up peepz the hype is loooonngggg.
Ashanti is the topic & she looks good in the album pic.
I hope her album has less of the word baby in each song.
Bee & Ashanti are totally different vocally & in looks so i don’t even see why there should be compared.

Ashanti had her time and its over! She aint bringin the heat that she’s capable of or maybe her style is jus played out. I know the song is mediocre and forgettable she aint the business like she used to be 5 years ago! she sounds like any other wannabe r&b chick, she don’t stand out from the rest like she used to. I’m not feelin the album cover, its a played out beyonce pose and look. she needs to find her own image and sound, go bak to basics, back to the way you were when you first started. She needs to stop usin all them played out producers and use 7 or gotti to her sound back cuz she will flop with this album cause this cover and her new song ain’t gonna help her.

Seriously, people give Beyonce TOOOO much credit. She is not the first singer with big hair and short dresses. When I first saw this picture Beyonce DID NOT come to mind. With that being said, Ashanti looks STUNNING. She always takes great pictures.

I agree with the majority she does look like Beyonce.
Oh and Jerell you are the gayest psycho dude I have ever seen. You talk shit about Beyonce everywhere you go but have some of her performances saved as your favorites on youtube. You need help you got a serious obsession. You know good and well that Beyonce has never fucked for tracks she has talent which is more than people can say for Ashanti who Irv Gotti admitted that she fucked for tracks. So get out of here with that. You’re pathetic and so are the other psycho Ashanti stans typing under different names. Beyonce can’t help it if her body is bangin, gorgeous, and on top of the game.LOL Ashanti who?

I’m fan of Ashanti, but not of her last 2 albums. I hope this one is a hit. But, anyway, i wanted to say somethin in regards to Jerrell’s comments. How can you say someone has a nasty attitude when you’ve never personally met them? And how can you come on this blog & talk garbage about someone you do not know. First off, Beyonce doesn’t need to sleep with anybody for tracks, because she has talent & people come to her with tracks, DUH!!! She does write her music & she has had a list of number one hits even before she came out on her own. So all that mess about her being a hoe & a stripper, PLEASE, Beyonce has more money than any stripper or hoe can fuck and/or shake their ass at, so there’s no need for her to do that. And for her to only have 100 fans, she sure sales out at the ticketmasters whenever she goes on tour. Beyonce gets compliments from major label heads who are responsible for the careers of such artist as Mariah Carey. And yeah, she might’ve made 2 albums, but both albums did exceptionally well compared to Ashanti’s last 2 albums. So your comments are just hateful & uneducated. And if the woman gets on your nerves that much, then why are you on a gossip blog about ASHANTI, talking about BEYONCE. You make no sense whatsoever. You’ve posted at least 3 comments on here talking loads of shit about Beyonce, but yet you’ve only said a few words about Ashanti. It must really hurt you that she’s so successful & most people prefer her over Ashanti? You wanna talk about the fans or stans, as some people call them, getting over the fact that people don’t praise Beyonce & how they need to get over it! But it sounds to me like you need to get over her too! And all about Ashanti’s competiton being Mariah Carey? What are you smoking? Mariah Carey can sing circles around Ashanti & sell records. Mariah Carey has had 16 #1 singles. Has Ashanit? Hmmm, let me think about it… NO! So get over it & get help, PLEASE! Because you have serious problem.
Now, don’t get me wrong, i like Ashanti & have been a fan since she came out in the industry… but to me, “Chapeter II” & “Concrete Rose”, didn’t do her justice. Hopefully this new album will put her back on top where she needs to be. And all about her tryna b like Beyonce, GET OUTTA HERE! Ashanti is Ashanti, & Beyone is Beyonce, both of them are very talented ladies in their own right.
